If that were all, these three little dragons would definitely have been the darlings of Green Dragon Peak.
However, although these three little dragons had inherited the abilities of the Space Dragon, their actual bloodline ca from their maternal True Dragon.
The problem lay in their inherited abilities from the Space Dragon. A Space Dragon could freely traverse barriers and go anywhere. These three little dragons, however, had directly inherited a fourth-dinsional stomach. They ate everything, and no matter how much they ate, they were never satisfied. The key issue was that if they weren’t satisfied, their cultivation speed was slow, or they might even lack the energy to cultivate at all.
"Anyway, that’s the situation. If my apprentice insists on taking them, then these three can be packed off together. However, by doing so, the reward for the Divine Beast offspring of Green Dragon Peak will have been paid," Jiang Ziyue reminded.
Chen Jiuge looked at the three little dragons squatting on the ground, drooling and looking at him expectantly, and his heart softened. He said, "I’ll take these three."
"Ah, okay then." Jiang Ziyue looked at his apprentice nephew with so pity.
When Chen Jiuge returned to the three little dragons, he stroked their heads in turn and said, "Co with . Although I can’t guarantee you will be fully satisfied, I can ensure you eat a bit more. But you will have to cultivate well, understand?"
"Yay, soone wants us!"
"I’m so touched."
"SOB SOB SOB, Big Sis, Second Sis."
Seeing the exaggerated display from the three little dragons, Chen Jiuge quickly changed the subject, asking, "Do you have nas?"
"We do. I’m Crystal," the Water Dragon said proudly.
"I’m Fire Crystal."
"And I’m Hua Jing."
Hiss, such casual nas. Oh well, a na is just a label, Chen Jiuge thought.
"My na is Chen Jiuge. Co on, let’s go ho." Embracing the three little dragons, Chen Jiuge returned to Eden Garden.
「...」
"Wow, so many sheep, and pigs too, so much yummy food!" Fire Crystal spotted the flocks of Red Fla Sheep imdiately, her drool leaving a large pit in the grassland.
"Spirit Fruit, Spirit Fruit, so many Spirit Fruits!" Hua Jing’s gaze was fixed on the Spirit Fruit trees.
The least fussy Crystal just felt dazzled. She exclaid, "So many, so many! No need to starve anymore!"
Chen Jiuge patted the heads of the three little dragons, saying, "Stop looking. You’ll get to eat later, but not now."
"From now on, if you want to eat, you’ll have to earn Spirit Stones to buy it. If you’re caught stealing, you’ll be in for a beating," Chen Jiuge warned.
"We won’t get caught," the youngest, Hua Jing, proclaid proudly.
"Stupid Little Sis, what Big Brother ans is, we have to earn our own Spirit Stones and buy our food," Crystal, the eldest, said sagely.
"That’s right, but I’ll pay you a slightly higher salary. I’ll sell you the Spiritual Beasts and Spirit Fruits here at half the price they go for outside."
After a lengthy introduction, Chen Jiuge finally managed to clarify the general situation to them.
Crystal’s job was to water the Spirit Fruit trees in Eden Garden every day, as the Water Dragon’s rain could speed up the growth of Spirit Plants.
The Fire Dragon’s job was to be Yue ng’s Fire Burning Boy. With her fourth-dinsional stomach, she was very enduring, much more so than Da Bai.
As for Hua Jing, her job was to help the Plant Elf take care of the Spiritual dicine. Not only could she accelerate the growth of the Spiritual dicines, but she could also promote the mutation and breakthrough of the Spiritual Bees. She was truly worthy of being an Exotic Species True Dragon.
After the arrangents were made, Chen Jiuge introduced them to his other Spiritual Beasts, and then they had a al.
「...」
「Under the moonlight.」
Da Bai, with a dazed look in its eyes, watched the three little dragons still eating heartily and gestured wildly with its paws, exclaiming, "They can still eat? How can such small bodies hold so much food? How is it possible?"
Yue ng, smiling warmly, brought over a freshly roasted Red Fla Sheep to Fire Crystal, saying, "Eat up, eat up. Look at the poor kids, they’re starving."
This was her own Fire Burning Boy, who had demonstrated not only fierce firepower but also endurance in the afternoon’s test, winning Yue ng’s affection.
In front of Hua Jing was a huge pile of Spirit Fruit. However, these Spirit Fruits were of a slightly higher quality. Eating so much allowed Hua Jing to feel full for the first ti.
Chen Jiuge observed carefully and concluded that the three little dragons had huge appetites, but not infinite ones. If their father, the Space Dragon, had been attentive, it would have actually been possible to satisfy them. However, True Dragons usually don’t care much for their offspring, and that was why the three little dragons were often unsatisfied.
The reason Green Dragon Peak didn’t feed them enough could have been a cost-performance issue. The three little dragons had decent talent but weren’t the best, or at least not good enough for Green Dragon Peak to spend a huge amount of resources on them.
The al lasted from the afternoon until early morning. The Spiritual Beasts that were already full ford two groups to cheer on Crystal and Fire Crystal, to see who truly deserved the title of Gluttonous King.
The already overstuffed Hua Jing watched her big and second sisters, caught in a difficult situation.
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!
With the crowing of the Spiritual Chicken, the intense eating competition finally ended with Crystal, as the eldest sister, declared the winner.
The Spiritual Beasts, having watched the fun all night, dispersed cheerfully.
The three little dragons officially started their new roles.
「...」
「In the void.」
A Space Dragon slowly closed his eyes and said, "My three little treasures have finally found a decent ho. If this human can keep them well-fed, it might be worth repaying him later."
"Now, I finally have plenty of ti. Heh heh heh, my little flowers, here I co."
With a flick of the Space Dragon’s tail, the massive figure vanished into the void. If soone could stand on the boundary layer of space, they would clearly see a pure white Space Dragon sensuously undulating its body, an eye-offending sight.
Chen Jiuge, of course, did not know that the father of the three little dragons—whom he thought irresponsible—was actually watching over him. Nor did he understand why the Golden Immortal Space Dragon could not satisfy the three little dragons.
If he had known that it was simply because the three little dragons ate too slowly, which would delay the dragon in finding other dragonesses, Chen Jiuge would definitely have cursed him for being irresponsible.
