Chapter 223 Purple Dragon Cub
Chapter 223 Purple Dragon Cub
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood in their own home, feeling heavy-hearted by the mess around them.
They had searched the entire villa, from the living room on the first floor to the bedrooms on the second floor.
Their hurried footsteps and traces of searching were left everywhere, but the murderer's trace seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace.
The bed was torn to pieces, and the scratches left on the bed board were deep and shallow, but it was impossible to tell what kind of creature did it.
They even found a jar in the corner, which was filled with smelly feces of an unknown creature.
The two men stood among a pile of rubbish, anger and murderous intent intertwined in their hearts.
Their eyes met each other's faces, and they saw the anger in each other's eyes - if they found the murderer, they would definitely make him regret it.
"Aqing, there is still one place we haven't visited." Gu Yang's voice broke the silence, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Hu Qing thought back to the room in the villa. After being reminded by Gu Yang, he suddenly woke up and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Practice room?"
The two looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense. They made such a big noise when they entered the house, but the murderer didn't come out to check.
There is only one explanation. The walls around the practice room are very thick, so it is normal that sound cannot penetrate.
Without hesitation, they immediately flipped down from the handrail of the second-floor stairs, landed steadily on the ground, and headed straight for the training room.
Hu Qing took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door, trying not to make any noise.
As soon as the door opened, the two immediately noticed that there was still a faint spiritual energy remaining in the training room. This spiritual energy was fresh and pure, and it was obvious that the spirit gathering array had been used not long ago.
A flash of anger appeared in Gu Yang's eyes. He wanted to kick the door open, but was stopped by Hu Qing.
"Don't alert the enemy first. Let's sneak in and see what dares to destroy our home." Hu Qing's voice was low and cold.
He gently pushed open the stone door, leaving just a gap large enough for them to pass through, and the two of them filed in.
A large ball of rags was laid in the center of the training room, like a carefully woven nest.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang's eyes fell there at the same time. They saw Elder Han's clone and a purple dragon cub. Both the man and the dragon were in a deep sleep.
The two stood in front of the rag strip nest, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, their eyes fell on the sleeping purple dragon cub again.
The purple dragon cub is not large, only about half a meter long, but its body is round, giving people a petite and cute feeling.
Its scales are a deep purple, as if containing the most mysterious stars in the night sky.
As the light changes, the scales will flash with a faint silver light, like stars flickering in the night sky.
The cub's head is relatively large, occupying a quarter of its body length, and it has a pair of small dragon horns on its head. They have not yet fully grown, but their sharp outlines are already revealed.
Its eyes were tightly closed, with long eyelashes covering its eyelids, occasionally trembling slightly as it dreamed.
A faint purple scent emanates from under the nose from time to time, and it seems that one can feel its leisurely feeling even in dreams.
The purple dragon cub has short and sturdy limbs and sharp claws. Each claw tip flashes with cold light, enough to tear the toughest objects.
Although its body is not big, its claws are extremely powerful. Gu Yang compared the claw marks on the upper floor and immediately realized that it was definitely the work of this purple dragon cub.
The tail is long and flexible, with a purple spike at the end, which should be its weapon for self-protection in its childhood.
However, no wings were found on its back, only rough scales.
The more the two observed, the more anger burned in their hearts, and they decided to teach this little guy a lesson.
As for Elder Han's clone, he had long been identified by the two as an accomplice of the purple dragon cub.
Hu Qing's voice was filled with an undeniable harshness: "It seems that this little thing is the culprit we are looking for. Now that it has fallen into our hands, we must let it experience what torture is."
Gu Yang nodded, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "That's right, we must let it know that this is not a place for it to run wild as it pleases. How dare it destroy our house like this."
The two men acted quickly, and Hu Qing took out a tough rope from the storage ring.
Gu Yang approached the purple dragon cub cautiously, fearing to disturb it.
The purple dragon cub seemed unaware of the impending danger and was still immersed in a sweet dream.
He snored one after another, and from time to time his saliva flowed onto the nest of rags below.
Hu Qing's movements were quick and skillful. He fixed one end of the rope to the pillar on the ceiling of the training room, and cleverly wove the other end into a slipknot, ready to be put around the neck of the purple dragon cub.
Gu Yang approached carefully, his breathing becoming cautious, for fear of making any sound.
His eyes were fixed on the purple dragon cub, making sure it wouldn't suddenly wake up.
Just as Gu Yang was about to touch the purple dragon cub, Hu Qing suddenly warned in a low voice: "Brother Gu, be careful, it's moving!"
Gu Yang stopped his actions immediately, and the two held their breath, nervously observing the movements of the purple dragon cub.
However, the purple dragon cub simply turned over and continued to sleep, snoring as usual.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued their actions.
Hu Qing put the noose around the purple dragon cub's neck, while Gu Yang quickly secured the other end of the rope to the ceiling.
The two worked together to carefully lift the purple dragon cub up, making sure it wouldn't get hurt from struggling.
After being hung up, the purple dragon cub still did not wake up. Its snoring echoed in the training room, seeming particularly abrupt.
Hu Qing knew very well that dragons in mythology could breathe fire, so the cloth strip would be useless against it. So he found a piece of ore from the storage ring and put it in its mouth, then tied two more strips of cloth around it.
Next, they tied up Elder Han's clone with ropes.
Hu Qing skillfully stuffed a piece of rag into Elder Han's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.
Gu Yang lifted him up with all his strength and hung him side by side with the purple dragon cub.
The two men stood in the middle of the training room, dusted off their hands, and looked at the man and dragon on the ceiling with satisfaction.
A trace of fatigue flashed across Hu Qing's eyes. "Let's go clean up the villa first, then hang around for a while. Once everything is done, come back and deal with these two."
Gu Yang nodded in agreement, and the two turned around to prepare to clean up the training room first.
Their movements were swift and methodical, not missing a single detail.
Hu Qing was responsible for cleaning up the scraps of cloth on the ground, while Gu Yang took all the garbage to the yard and burned it.
As time went by, the practice room gradually returned to its former cleanliness.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood at the door, examining their work with satisfaction.
Their gazes turned once again to the man and dragon on the ceiling, and the anger in their hearts had subsided a lot.
Hu Qing said softly, "It seems that our little guest is sleeping soundly."
Gu Yang sneered: "When it wakes up, it will have something interesting to see."
The two looked at each other again, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
But the most urgent task now is to restore the entire villa to its original state, and they still need to rest.
……
When the first ray of morning light quietly slipped into the empty courtyard through the gap in the gate, Hu Qing and Gu Yang finally completed the restoration of the entire villa.
The sky also showed a hint of paleness, indicating the beginning of a new day, and their work was finally coming to an end.
After a busy night, the whole house seemed a little empty. Some furniture needed to be rebuilt, and the yard also needed new life to embellish it.
The two dragged their exhausted bodies back to the training room.
Their muscles ached, their spirits were at their limit, and they just wanted to collapse on the ground and have a good rest.
However, when they pushed open the door of the training room, they found that Elder Han's clone and the purple dragon cub had awakened.
The purple dragon cub's eyes were wide open, and the tired figures of Hu Qing and Gu Yang were reflected in its deep purple pupils.
Its little claws scratched at the air, as if trying to break free, but the ropes firmly fixed it to the ceiling.
Elder Han's clone made a whimpering sound, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, but due to the rag in his mouth, he could not make a clear sound.
However, Hu Qing didn't want to help him remove the rag, as he probably would have just heard some cursing.
The two of them were really tired this night. They hadn't rested since returning from Nanliu City.
