Chapter 136 Holy Water

Astair remained lying in his pile of money, coldly saying, "I'm going to hibernate, and so will you, human."

Qiao Xiao said regretfully, "Humans don't need to hibernate."

Asdor: "Humans who are troubled by dragons."

Qiao Xiao: My lord, have you forgotten that I only have one year left to live? If I'm going to live like this for the rest of the year, then you might as well kill me now.

Asdor: "I really can't stand you. You're so lifeless, no different from a tortoise that's lived for tens of thousands of years!"

Qiao Xiao said indifferently: This is an insult to me, isn't it?

Asdor: "Then tell me, human, what do you intend to do?"

Qiao Xiao: "Let's be dragon slayers, my lord! Let's go slay dragons together!"

Astor was unable to cope with Qiao Xiao's bizarre and even insane ideas. "No, change it."

Qiao Xiao: "Shall we go on a trip, sir?"

Asdor: "Okay."

He leaped into the air and grabbed Qiao Xiao with his claws. Qiao Xiao, still holding him, hadn't even reacted yet. "What are you doing, sir?"

Astor replied indifferently, "Travel, isn't that what you said? I can fly to anywhere you want to go."

Qiao Xiao pointed out the misunderstanding, "No, sir, you misunderstood. I want to travel using human methods."

Astor stopped. "Human methods? Chariots and horses?"

"It's made with human legs."

"No."

In an instant, the dragon's entire body coiled up above the golden mountain again, as if it were about to fall asleep.

"Sir, please don't be like this. This kind of experience is rare. I believe that this kind of thing will not happen to you after you come of age."

Astor sighed helplessly, muttering to himself: This human is such a nuisance to dragons!

"Sir, I have absolutely no problem with using a carriage, but there isn't one..."

Astor opened his eyes slightly, his nostrils pointing directly at Qiao Xiao. "Foolish human, don't I have a lot of money? Not enough to buy a carriage. Humph, laughable."

Qiao Xiao smiled awkwardly, "You're right."

He used his sharp dragon claws to pick up a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry and handed them to Qiao Xiao, saying, "You suggested it. I'll pay for it, you just need to carry it on the way."

Qiao Xiao readily agreed: "That's only right."

Astor felt a slight fondness for her, thinking to himself, "There aren't many people this understanding anymore."

After the conversation ended, they quickly descended to a piece of land.

Qiao Xiao was still wearing her cloak. "Can't my silver hair really be changed, my lord?"

Astor nodded heavily: "This is an irreversible reality. In essence, you and I share the same origin. I cannot change the hair color that you have formed due to the overflow of magic."

Qiao Xiao: "But why is your hair black, sir?"

Astow: "I am not human, black is the most authoritative color in nature."

Qiao Xiao: "The master is right." Then, carrying heavy gold coins, she put on a cloak and went to the market where horses were sold.

Astair followed closely behind her. Qiao Xiao looked at the creature locked in the cage and questioned the seller, "Are you sure this is a horse?"

She looked at the unicorn with its horn cut off, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

The man chuckled and said, "Oh, miss, you don't know this, but this horse has unicorn blood. It's not like any other horse. It's worth every penny."

Qiao Xiao: "How much?"

"Two gold medals."

Qiao Xiao and Asdor simultaneously snorted coldly, then looked at each other.

Qiao Xiao looked at him coldly, "You're really heartless. Two gold coins could buy three top-quality unicorns."

The man immediately stopped smiling. "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't bother me while I'm doing business, and get out of here!"

Qiao Xiao: "What if I try to take it by force?"

"Oh my, you're really something. No one has ever dared to do anything to me before. You've got some nerve."

Qiao Xiao bent her head and said, "Oh?" Then she punched the iron cage and broke it.

The man was a little scared, but he still stubbornly said, "You'll have to pay me back."

After saying that, he immediately blew his whistle and then lifted the black curtain behind him. A huge three-headed dog woke up in the cage and was staring fiercely at Qiao Xiao. However, the moment it met Asdor's gaze, its eyes immediately became clear and it instantly backed down.

Qiao Xiao: Why do I look so much like a dog relying on its master's power?

She calmly said, "I'll buy this unicorn if you offer a reasonable price."

Seeing that the three-headed dog had stopped barking after several whistles, the man said menacingly, "I'll let you go this time, 100 silver coins in total."

Qiao Xiao stared at him with dissatisfaction. She hadn't earned the money herself, so she couldn't afford to squander it. She looked at Asdor with pleading eyes and asked, "Sir, may I rob it?"

Astor chuckled. "Whatever."

The man looked at Asdor behind Qiao Xiao, whose face was arrogant and wealthy. He thought that Asdor's status must be higher than that of the woman, so he fawned over Asdor.

"Young and handsome sir, you have an extraordinary demeanor. You certainly wouldn't care about a mere 100 silver coins, would you?"

Asdor: "Who do you think you are, daring to presume my thoughts? Foolish!"

"Why are you swearing? You're all in cahoots, so arrogant! No matter what you say, I'm not selling to you today!"

Qiao Xiao stared at him coldly, "Then I'll give it to you."

She pulled an axe from her cloak, which held endless possibilities, and dismantled the cage under the seller's watchful eye.

No one around paid any attention to this, because this place was full of hackers, unscrupulous buyers, unscrupulous sellers, and no kind passersby.

Before the seller could react, Qiao Xiao directly gave him a dose of sleep powder, putting him into a deep sleep.

Qiao Xiao: "Sir, is there any way to cure these animals?"

Astor: "Yes, but I don't want to tell you."

Qiao Xiao: "Then how can you tell me?"

Astor: "Aren't you curious why I'm unwilling?"

Qiao Xiao retorted, "Isn't that your freedom?"

He found himself increasingly appreciating this human princess; he had never before experienced such joy and pleasure in communicating with a person.

Astor: "Fine, to avoid your gossip, I'll show you the way. There's a town not far away where magical animals are kept. The people there make a living selling holy water, which can cure any disease and is priceless."

Qiao Xiao immediately sensed something was wrong. "What's the name of that town?"

Asdor: "The Holy City".

Qiao Xiao squinted her eyes, "Then, sir, how should we settle these creatures first?"

Asdor: "Throw it into my territory first, and get the holy water back as soon as possible."

With a wave of his hand, all the strange beasts in front of him, along with their cages, vanished.

Qiao Xiao: "Sir, would you please walk with me first?"

Asdor: "Trouble."

He took Qiao Xiao directly to the capital, saying, "It's just a matter of a snap of the fingers, why make it so complicated?"

Qiao Xiao nodded earnestly, "Thank you, sir."

She sighed softly: He's really been a huge burden to her.

Astor glanced at her sideways and said, "The holy water in the Holy City can only be supplied by the church."

Qiao Xiao pointed to the long queue, "Over there."

Astor quietly walked over and started queuing.

Wow, this line is so long it's giving me a headache.

She sighed deeply, followed by, "The master is very patient."

Asdor: "Hmph." He extended his index finger, pointing it to the left and right of the line.

Suddenly, one by one, the people at the very front of the line broke away from the group without warning, and in an instant, as the crowd dispersed, they moved to the very front.

Qiao Xiao: "You have so many tricks up your sleeve."

She benefited herself, and then she sympathized with those people; it seemed a bit like she was getting a free ride and then acting innocent. I could only shake my head silently.

Astair looked at Qiao Xiao's state and sneered, "You have a really high sense of morality, human."

Qiao Xiao chuckled: "Tit for tat. Even though you have unparalleled abilities, you still abide by human rules and wait in line. You are more impressive than me."

Astair proudly declared, "How can I be compared to any human being?"

A huge curtain was placed in the middle, with the saintess inside and the supplicants outside. On both sides, maids holding holy water knelt, and a knight in golden armor stood guard beside each person.

The saint asked, "Have you come to ask for water?" Her voice was ethereal and beautiful.

Astor coldly moved aside. "Was it her who asked for water?"

How could he possibly bow down to a human being?
