Chapter 2 — Strange Tales: You’re an Official, but you’re raising a bunch of Demonessess?

The dragon before Bai Yu had undergone a spiritual journey, evolving from a snake to a dragon. It had practised in this river for centuries and sought to transform by bathing in thunder. Revealing itself to mortals, it hoped to establish a revered reputation. If someone addressed it as a ‘dragon,’ it would fulfil its purpose. However, calling it a ‘big snake’ would be disastrous, potentially ruining centuries of diligent cultivation in an instant.

……

A picture of a hundred beasts suddenly appeared in his mind, accompanied by a few hints. Looking at the reminder in front of him, Bai Yu secretly sighed.

Reborn for sixteen years, Bai Yu always thought this was an ordinary ancient world. Now, with cheats and monsters, he’s a bit slow to react. Materialistic war god’s heart shattered, and after a brief brain shut down, he somewhat accepted reality.

Bai Yu looked up, seeking recognition from the dragon, covering the sky with extraordinary power, silently waiting for judgment.

He smiled and said, “The surging divine waters stir up the heavens. I am a dragon immortal, spreading clouds and bestowing blessings.”

Speaking nonsense, he said, “What a big dragon!”

The words turned into golden runes, flowing into the dragon’s body.

Divine light scattered, power swept the sky, scales shining with golden light.

“

Bai Yu stared at the changes, forgetting the divine blood and the ancient bell.

“Thank you, benefactor!” A grateful voice sounded.

With a human-like look of gratitude, the dragon shot three spars around Bai Yu. Invisible waves formed a protective shield, enclosing Bai Yu.

“Don’t leave, Your Grace, to avoid harm.” After saying this, the dragon soared into the thunderous clouds.

“

Cultivation defies nature and the world tests existence. Before achieving great things, one must undergo life-threatening dangers to transform and ascend. Waves of thunder dried up rivers, ploughed the land, cut through mountains and ridges, destroying everything in its path.

However, it didn’t harm Bai Yu within the protective shield. Even the little donkey was frightened and urinated on the ground. The terrifying thunder dissipated instantly upon reaching the protective shield.

Bai Yu was quite scared, but having been reborn once, he was more carefree. He looked at the dome where the dragon should have faced its tribulation, finding it more spectacular than the sci-fi effects in his previous life.

Observing the crystals emitting faint light around him with interest, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Good treasures!”

The crystal-formed formation protected him in the centre, shielding him from the thunder. Although curious, Bai Yu didn’t dare to touch them. Instead, he looked at the two things in his palm.

“Well, your own is the best.”

“It’s also a good baby~.”

The introduction of these two gadgets emerged in his mind. Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel emotional, slightly shaking the little bell. At the same time, the tribulation the dragon faced under the thunder in the dome was gradually ending. At this moment, the seemingly endless thunder seemed to destroy everything, falling mercilessly on the dragon.

Once majestic black scales were blasted to pieces, the colossal body, which covered the sky and sun, bore numerous cracks, emitting a burnt smell, while the river below turned red with blood. It looked utterly miserable. Feeling the accumulated terrifying power in the dome, Long Zhi was somewhat helpless.

Initially, she thought she could cross the calamity forcefully with her powerful cultivation and body.

Seeing his extraordinary nature, she was a bit greedy and wanted to ask for a reward.

Would the current emperor subject her to such a terrifying calamity for a reward? While a stronger calamity usually meant more benefits after passing through it, the prerequisite was that she must survive it!

She had saved Dragon Essence Profound Stones to face the calamity but had to use them to protect Bai Yu, relying solely on her physical body to endure.

Now… she could barely hold on.

“

However, at this moment, a crisp bell suddenly rang in her ears. Her body shook, feeling a sudden clarity in her spiritual platform, energy surging, and her injuries seemed to improve.

The vertical pupil suddenly contracted, turning around abruptly, focusing on the tiny figure in the scorched earth below.

Regardless of her pride, she shouted loudly, “Grandfather, save me!!!!”

Bai Yu:?
