All of them jumped in fright . Guo Ran had actually been directly pulled into the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s stomach by some strange force . It was too fast for anyone to react .
Guo Ran didn’t even understand what was going on before he landed in its stomach .
“Cloud, spit him out!” cried Meng Qi .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow opened its mouth and spat out Guo Ran . Right now, he was covered in his armor .
“Cloud, you can’t act like this! You have to differentiate between friends and enemies,” chided Meng Qi .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow let out a few chirps that sounded wronged . That stunned Long Chen and Tang Wan-er . How did this hatchling already possess such high intelligence?
Meng Qi listened carefully for a long time and couldn’t help but break into a smile . “Cloud says that Guo Ran said it was ugly, so Guo Ran’s a bad person . ”
Guo Ran was pale . Just now, when he had been swallowed into its stomach, he had felt a strange force, and he had instinctively summoned his armor .
Several thin cracks had appeared on his armor . Those lines were very thin, as if strings had cut into it .
Guo Ran’s armor was made of material on the level of King items . It was incredibly hard, and weapons had difficulty causing any damage to it . It was unknown what kind of force had caused these marks .
If it had instead been a body of flesh and blood, how could it endure such power? Wouldn’t it be instantly torn through? Just thinking about it made Guo Ran’s expression change . Just now, he had walked past the gates of hell .

The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow once more chirped a few times, and Meng Qi laughed . “Cloud says that it was just trying to scare you as a punishment for calling it ugly . It wasn’t really trying to eat you . ”
Long Chen looked at the marks on Guo Ran’s armor and couldn’t help being shocked . The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had only just been born, but it already possessed such terrifying power . It was truly worthy of being a legendary existence .
“Cloud is able to speak to you already?” asked Long Chen .
“Our souls are connected . If it wants to express something, I can understand it . The translation won’t be one hundred percent right, but there won’t be any big deviations . As a Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, it possesses its innate skills even though it just hatched . Any flesh swallowed by it will be cut into pieces by the strands of energy within it . It possesses spatial energy and an innate devouring ability, so even huge Magical Beasts can be swallowed in one gulp . As for a matured Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, it could gulp down all lifeforms within a thousand miles just by opening its mouth . That was what earned it the name Heaven Swallowing . ”
Meng Qi gently patted its head as she explained . The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow seemed to enjoy Meng Qi’s pampering .
“Isn’t that a bit too fierce? It doesn’t even have fe I mean, it’s already so strong after just being born . ” Guo Ran clearly hadn’t recognized what it was, or he wouldn’t have ended up in his previous plight .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow was just a hatchling right now, and it truly did look a bit ugly . It looked like it would take a while for it to grow feathers .
As an ancient beast with a terrifying inheritance, the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s growth speed wasn’t very fast . It also required plenty of resources .
“Long Chen, this little one might make us poor again…” said Meng Qi worriedly .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow chirped a few times, embarrassing Meng Qi . Its intelligence was truly high, and it basically understood her words . It said that it could eat a bit less .
That made her feel warm and ashamed . Back then, that powerful tenth rank Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had given her one of her children, only because she had been helpless .

The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow would require an ocean’s worth of resources once it was born . Normally, the mother would use its own essence blood as feed .
But that tenth rank Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had been injured, and she didn’t have enough essence blood to raise both children . She had had no choice but to sacrifice one .
Now, after a moment of excitement, Meng Qi realized a serious problem . This little one was in an extremely hungry state right now .
That was very likely because the mother had already decided to abandon it, and so she hadn’t spent enough of her essence blood on it after a while . That led to an innate deficiency that made it feel exceptionally hungry now that it was born .
This wasn’t true hunger, but the result of being deficient in some kind of energy . It would need more resources to make up for its innate weakness .
Now it was incredibly hungry, so hungry that even Meng Qi felt unwell . She hadn’t expected its appetite to be so great . The food she had prepared wasn’t even close to enough .
She took out a few more food balls . Those were originally stock for the future, but she couldn’t bear to see it so hungry .
The Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow surprisingly didn’t eat the food balls . That made Meng Qi even more ashamed . As a Beast Tamer, she wasn’t even able to raise a housepet .
“Don’t worry and eat it . I’ll handle the rest and won’t let you starve . ” Long Chen comforted Cloud . If he couldn’t even raise such a little fellow, what kind of man would he be?
Unexpectedly, Cloud ran over to Long Chen’s side and rubbed its head against Long Chen happily .
“Cloud says that it remembers your aura, and that you’re a good person . But Guo Ran is bad, so don’t stay with him,” laughed Meng Qi .

Guo Ran rolled his eyes . Wasn’t his only offense not praising it? Was it worth sowing dissension?
Long Chen was startled . He supposed it only made sense that you couldn’t judge such an ancient species with common sense . If it remembered his aura, that meant it had memories from when it was just an egg .
Cloud devoured several more beast balls . However, it didn’t treat Tang Wan-er very enthusiastically . To it, Tang Wan-er was still an outsider .
But Tang Wan-er very much adored it, constantly stroking it, and Cloud didn’t refuse . Guo Ran went to try to repair their awkward relationship, and as a result, Cloud simply opened its mouth and he fled in terror, vanishing like a wisp of smoke while Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er laughed .
“Whatever it needs, get it with points . Money isn’t a problem . Letting it grow up healthy is the most important point, and it’s the only way to pay back senior’s trust,” said Long Chen to Meng Qi .
“But Cloud’s body is extremely deficient in many areas . It’ll require plenty of adjustments and resources to fix,” said Meng Qi .
“How much?”
Meng Qi hesitated for a moment and then clenched her teeth . “At a rough estimate, using the best resources, it will probably require five billion points . ”
Although they had long since been prepared, Long Chen and Tang Wan-er both jumped in shock .
“Wan-er, how many points do we have now?” asked Long Chen .
“A few days ago, sister Qing Yu said that we had four billion and eight hundred million points, because the majority of our points were already distributed to each individual . If we don’t have enough, we can ask them to pool their points again,” said Tang Wan-er .
Although they had obtained over ten billion points in that battle, the Dragonblood Legion had equipped themselves with the best weapons and were training in the best training rooms . They naturally burned their points quickly .
Ten billion points was a shocking amount, but when distributed, it wasn’t even a million points each . That wasn’t enough to even get a King item .
Guo Ran was also a big money spender . Although the material for his forging had been sent by Zheng Wenlong, just the process of forging things required all kinds of supplementary materials such as inscriptions or divine extracts .
“Long Chen, will this affect the entire Dragonblood Legion’s development?” asked Meng Qi worriedly .
“Foolish wife, Cloud is our companion and also a member of the Dragonblood Legion . Its power is the Dragonblood Legion’s power . Even if it’s just for the sake of our future, we need Cloud to grow up healthy . Don’t worry, although it’ll be a bit tight, I think with a bit of adjustment, it won’t affect our progress . ” Long Chen smiled .
Meng Qi blushed upon being called wife and she glared at Long Chen . But that made her feel warm .
“How are we supposed to adjust?” asked Meng Qi .
“Right now, each member of the Dragonblood Legion has quite a few points . It should be enough for them in the short term, so we won’t need to give any more for a while . As for the points that we have, although it’s not enough, there are other options . Divide the required resources into things that have to be bought with points in the sect, and things that we can get on our own .
“For example, I can get you precious medicines, and we can get some of the Magical Beast flesh, crystal cores, and bones on our own . Our disciples can occasionally go out for tempering, which will benefit their cultivation bases, and we’ll profit . We can even issue missions to get those things, which should be cheaper . Furthermore, I’m still getting points from selling medicinal pills to the outer sect . So there’s no need to worry about it right now,” said Long Chen .
“Long Chen, you really are amazing!” Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er excitedly hugged Long Chen, one on the left and one on the right . They even gave him a kiss each . Just as Long Chen was enjoying the feeling, another mouth came over .
“Hey, you’re too late . Let me kiss you instead!” Cloud actually learned from Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er’s examples . Long Chen hastily went up to hug and kissed it instead . He was afraid of being accidentally swallowed into its stomach .
Tang Wan-er and Meng Qi laughed . Cloud was truly adorable . The two of them continued to play with it, while Long Chen walked toward a depressed Guo Ran who was sitting on a distant boulder .
