Chapter 643: Chapter 641: The Calamity of Rain Clouds
“Rain! Jian said the Ancestral Dragon fears rainy days. And it never rains at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, which is one of the reasons why the Ancestral Dragon never leaves this place.”
“Afraid of rain? But he is the Ancestral Dragon! How is that possible? Besides, ‘Cloud Moving and Rain Making,’ the secret technique, is a must-learn for anyone with a Water Element talent.”
“That’s what Jian said.”
“How strange, did something bad happen on a rainy day once, causing this fear of rain to develop?”
“Xiaomei also thinks it’s not a weakness, but a fear.”
“If it’s a fear… then using his fear to lure him? Are we trying to get ourselves killed faster?” Sally said speechlessly, “Jian is really unreasonable.”
“However, the host could use rainy days to her advantage. Otherwise, with the Ancestral Dragon’s current attitude toward the host, only the children can make him see her differently, everything else… He probably doesn’t even remember what the host looks like.”
Sally nodded, stretched lazily, and yawned, “We’ll talk about it later, I’m going back to sleep. Tomorrow I have to accompany the children to the Twin Mountains.”
Seeing they wouldn’t leave anytime soon, Yi gave them a map, which had names for each mountain, and the Spirit Spring Lake they encountered was named Hidden Dragon Beach.
It turned out, it was just a bathing spot for the Ancestral Dragon! Such a huge lake just for bathing, he must be massive in size.
But her children also bathed there, enjoying the vast dragon lake…
Sally went back to her baby girl’s villa to sleep. She tossed and turned for a while before finally falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, she woke up to find the sky covered with dark clouds!
Sally blinked her eyes, suddenly remembering what Xiaomei said last night about the Ancestral Dragon not liking rain.
She teleported out in a hurry.
It was Little Shisan making clouds and rain in the air, trying to water the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures around them. Frans generally did the same for watering the garden flowers.
“Quickly come down, stop it, hurry up and get rid of the rain clouds,” Sally shouted to Little Shisan.
But it was already too late, an extremely ominous black cloud drifted towards them, thunder rolling as if to split the heavens and the earth.
Sally immediately summoned the children back to System Space.
She clenched her fists, staring nervously at those black clouds… while the rain cloud Little Shisan created had started raining.
Sally wanted to leave, but if she just walked away, she would feel somewhat unwilling.
She took an umbrella from the Space Ring, standing under the rain, wanting to see what the Ancestral Dragon was up to.
The rain cloud created by Little Shisan didn’t last long, and without a secret technique to maintain it, it soon stopped. However, the black cloud showed no signs of dissipating at all.
Thunder roared, lightning flashed, changing in an instant.
Bolts of lightning densely fell from the sky, striking down towards Sally.
Seeing the dire situation, Sally instantly turned into a little white mouse and teleported away… At this moment, she desperately wanted to find a rat hole to dive into.
As luck would have it, there was a rat hole right in front of her, dug by one of the children, now serving her well.
She slipped into it swiftly.
But the lightning seemed to have eyes, striking right above her, she quickly used a Divine Grade Defense Armor to block it. But her hind leg was still grazed by the residual power of the lightning, bursting her skin open!
Sally teleported, still under the protection of the defense armor.
As for her wound, Xiaomei had already healed her before she even asked.
But still, a patch of leg fur was missing, leaving her skin bare and bald…
Sally didn’t bother about her rat leg, hurriedly moved Little Miqi out of the System Space, “Little Miqi, go to the Outer World immediately.”
“Okay, Mom,” Little Miqi responded quickly without asking what had happened, released her talent… and four doors appeared in the space.
Sally didn’t have time to let Xiaoqi choose, so she trusted her instincts, pushed open a door, and rushed out with Little Miqi.
However, thinking it was the Outer World, unexpectedly, they had ended up back at Hidden Dragon Beach!
But this also perfectly allowed them to escape from that expanse of dark clouds.
Sally knew something bad had happened, realizing the Ancestral Dragon had no intention of letting them leave this place.
“Mom, what happened?” Little Miqi asked somewhat anxiously.
Sally replied, “It’s nothing, it seems to be… a heavenly tribulation, yes, a heavenly tribulation. Don’t be afraid, Mom’s here, I will protect you all.” Saying this, she took her into the System Space.
No matter how astonishing the children’s talents were, in Sally’s eyes, they were just kids. With her around, she would always be the one to take the front, never letting the children face the danger first.
A female Mouse Beast with reddish-brown fur called out to Sally, “Which mountain do you come from?”
Sally replied, “I, I’m from Twin Mountains.”
“Quick, hide. The Dragon Lord is angry,” the reddish-brown mouse advised Sally.
“What has angered him?” Sally asked.
The reddish-brown mouse, a native of the Rat Clan named Mo Mo, happened to be passing by and upon seeing the Dragon’s Fury, immediately hid.
“The Dragon Lord abhors rain, though I don’t know why. But inside the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, all the clans unanimously avoid performing Cloud Moving and Rain Making.”
“…” Indeed, it was Little Shisan who unintentionally angered Yi. But now, it seemed not so much a fear or weakness, but rather a critical point, like a storm trigger.
After making small talk with Mo Mo for a few moments, she waved goodbye to her.
Sally found a place to hide and decided to avoid any contact with Yi for now.
She instructed Xiaomei to arrange for the children to cultivate in the game world for the time being. She then disguised herself as a mouse, dyeing her fur the same color as Mo Mo, and covered the patch of fur lost from the lightning strike on her hind leg with clothes, sneaking through the mountains and forests.
For now, she wouldn’t let the children out of the System Space.
As Xiaomei said, Yi had memories of these children, but none of her, which might explain why she hadn’t noticed any traces of being tracked while she walked through the forest for so long.
Moreover, to her surprise, her cultivation base was steadily increasing.
Perhaps struck by the lightning, or simply by shock, she had unknowingly crossed a critical boundary and her cultivation base had stepped into the next stage.
Little Bell missed Sally.
So, Sally took it out of the space, and as Little Bell was of Saint Rank, not God Rank, she thought it wouldn’t draw attention since it lacked divinity.
“What’s wrong, Little Bell?”
“Mom, everyone is worried, they want to know what’s happening, and if there’s any danger, they all want to help.”
“There’s no danger. Look around yourself—birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, insects are humming, butterflies are dancing, everything is peaceful, right?”
“Then why can’t everyone come out?”
“Just a little longer, Mom will explain it to you later.”
“Okay then.”
Sally took Little Bell back into the space.
She continued walking forward.
Suddenly, she felt the air around her grow colder.
She stopped and looked around… without knowing when, she had come to the foot of a barren mountain, with all the vegetation withered, and even the only tree hadn’t grown any leaves!
