âThe complete corpse,â Beanie replied.
âOh? The complete corpse? Where is it?â
âJust outside. Mr. Rivers, please come with me.â
âI was just about to do that!â
The two left the hall of Treasure Pavilion together and went outside to check the corpse of the beast.
David did not follow them.
He remained seated.
It was just a corpse, and it was nothing special. It would not be good to scare the child.
âPebbles!â David called out.
âWhatâs the matter, Sir?â The little girl asked, raising her head and looking at David.
and asked.
âCan you get off me?â
âNo!â Pebbles shook her head in refusal.
âWhy?â David was speechless.
âBecause you smell so good, and I think itâs beneficial for my body. Sir, donât force me away, okay? As long as you donât do that, I will listen to you.â
Pebbles looked at David with her big eyes, her tone sounded very aggrieved.
âBut you canât hang on to me all the time! It wonât look good to the outsiders. Plus, I have to sleep and rest.â David smiled wryly.
âWeâll just let them see! I donât care. I like you, so I will always be with you. Donât worry! When you sleep, I will sleep next to you obediently and I wonât disturb you,â Pebbles said matter-of-factly.
âPebbles, we canât sleep together,â David thought for a while and said.
âWhy?â Pebbles looked puzzled.
âBecause... Because itâs improper for men and women to have physical contact. Pebbles, you will like other boys when you grow up. If the boy you like learn that you slept with me when you were young, he will be sad.â
âHe wonât! Don't worry! I won't like other boys and I will only like you!â The little girl said with a firm gaze.
âUmâ¦â
David had no idea what to say for the moment.
Luckily, he was in The Spirit Cage.
If he was in the real world, how would he explain to Celia and the others?
âOh, Pebbles! You are still young. You wonât think that way when you grow up, and if you regret it, it will be too late.â
âI wonât regret it!â
After the little girl finished speaking, she continued to hold Davidâs neck, leaned her head on his shoulder, and greedily breathed in Davidâs scent.
Beanie and Thor soon came back.
The Silver Flood Dragonâs corpse was intact, so there was not much to examine.
The moment the two of them sat down, Thor could not wait to ask, âMs. Nacht, the body of this Silver Flood Dragon is quite well preserved, and the fatal injuries are not too obvious. Itâs obvious that the person who killed the Silver Flood Dragon was very powerful and did not give it any time to react. I am wondering, where did you get it from?â
After speaking, he turned his gaze to David, who was on the sidelines.
He thought David was the one who killed the Silver Flood Dragon.
âMr. Rivers, I bought this Silver Flood Dragon from someone else. According to the seller, he ran into the two beasts fighting and he reaped the benefit from the battle,â Beanie replied.
âHe must have lied. It is impossible to obtain such a complete body from a fight between two beasts of the same level. If the Silver Flood Dragon was the weaker one, it would have become food and the person would never have gotten a chance to reap the benefits. Moreover, there is an obvious handprint of a human on the head of this Silver Flood Dragon and that was the fatal injury,â Thor expressed his opinion.
âWe also think itâs unlikely, but thatâs what he said. Only the person involved will know the specific situation now.â
âI see! If Iâm not mistaken, the Silver Flood Dragon should have formed a Crystal! And it was taken out, right?â Thor asked another question.
âMr. Rivers, you have such good eyes. The Silver Flood Dragon did have a Crystal, but I took it out,â
Beanie replied honestly.
âWhere is it now? Are you selling that too? Iâm willing to pay a high price for it!â Thor continued to ask.
The Beast Crystal was good stuff.
Not only was it priceless, it was also hard to come by.
