Upon hearing this, Su Qing's reaction was quite calm.
There were simply too many strange things in this world...
What with Nine-Headed Worms, Eight-Horned Spirits, Goat-Headed Monsters, what kind of spirits weren't there?
Even a skeleton could become a spirit.
So, no matter how strange, it wasn't too strange.
However, seeing their expressions as if they had discovered a new continent,
Su Qing still cooperatively asked about the creature's appearance.
Several sparrows flew around Su Qing, chirping and describing how strange the monster was.
"It looked something like this..."
"Oh, right, Sister Xiao Qing. That fellow was also very strange; the water and sand wherever it went turned red!"
"Yes, yes! And it didn't move for a long time, it was simply too lazy."
"Lazier than us."
The little ones seemed to have more to say, still chirping.
Su Qing didn't pay them further mind, just fell into thought.
Through the descriptions of the little ones,
Su Qing roughly knew what kind of being was on the beach.
As for the strange points the little ones mentioned...
Su Qing thought it was likely not due to the creature being lazy and strange.
It was just too severely injured, causing its blood to stain the beach red.
"However... it seems I'll have to properly teach these little ones about such matters in the future."
"Currently, they are still too naive and innocent..."
"While it's cute, being too naive and innocent isn't a good thing."
Su Qing shook her head slightly and made a decision.
The little sparrows, the 'little fatty balls,' had always been simple and innocent... they had only a partial understanding of many worldly matters, like children.
Although they had now cultivated into minor demons and lived with Su Qing for many years,
they still didn't quite grasp the concepts of life and death, or other more brutal aspects.
The 'little fatty balls' still weren't very clear on these things.
This was not only because they hadn't grown much themselves,
but Su Qing's overprotection naturally bore a significant responsibility.
However, now was clearly not the time to educate the little ones...
The immediate priority was to go to the beach and see if that dragon was dead.
If it died on Flower-Fruit Mountain, who knew what strange changes might occur?
Su Qing had the little ones lead the way, then she and Leng Xiang followed them to the beach.
The seaside, the beach.
Seagulls cried, sea breeze blew.
Carrying a strong scent of blood and a hint of fishiness.
Su Qing looked up.
She saw a white dragon, covered in wounds and barely alive, lying on the beach.
Its body was covered in injuries, many scales were lifted, and in several places, bones were faintly visible.
Beneath it, the beach was heavily stained red, and the surrounding seawater was also dyed crimson...
Seeing this scene, Su Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.
This situation, as expected, was not beyond her predictions...
This white dragon was severely injured.
But Su Qing was a little curious...
Why was this white dragon washed up on Flower-Fruit Mountain?
What had happened?
"I wonder if this white dragon has any connection to last night's battle..."
"But it's better to save it first! To prevent it from dying here."
Su Qing was naturally not one to stand by and do nothing.
She took out a pill and placed it in the dragon's mouth.
She wasn't skilled in alchemy; this pill could at most sustain its life.
Such severe injuries would ultimately require the white dragon to take time to recuperate on its own.
Then, Su Qing formed a hand seal and exhaled a breath of pure qi.
Helping the white dragon dissolve the pill.
Beside her, the little sparrows chirped away to Su Qing.
As if showing off what a peculiar thing they had discovered.
Su Qing merely smiled helplessly and asked Leng Xiang to explain to the little sparrows.
After Leng Xiang's explanation... the little sparrows finally understood.
It turned out Su Qing had seen such creatures before... they were just short-sighted.
Immediately, the little sparrows became even more excited.
Chasing Su Qing, asking all sorts of questions...
Su Qing, helpless, had to tell them to be quiet first.
During their conversation, the white dragon seemed to have recovered somewhat, slowly opening its eyes.
Seeing the white dragon open its eyes, the little sparrows also hurriedly called out to Su Qing... to prevent Su Qing from continuing to scold them.
Su Qing rolled her eyes at the little ones, turned to look at the white dragon, and was about to speak.
But then she heard the white dragon ask first:
"Excuse me, Sister... where is this? Did you save me?"
The white dragon's voice sounded somewhat tender, like someone sixteen or seventeen...
At the same time, probably due to its injuries, its voice was quite weak.
Su Qing nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying:
"It was just a small effort. I only temporarily sustained your life... whether you can recover depends on yourself."
"As for where this is? This is the eastern sea of Aolai Kingdom, the territory of Flower-Fruit Mountain!"
"I can't believe I ended up here?" The white dragon seemed a little dazed...
Last night she was only focused on escaping, never expecting to flee to this blessed land.
When she was little, her mother had told her about Flower-Fruit Mountain.
She spoke of it beautifully, but also warned her not to go there if possible.
Although she didn't know why, she had always been quite obedient and had never been here before.
Yet, her first time coming here was in this manner.
"I'm very curious, why are you so severely injured?"
"And why were you washed up here by the sea?"
Su Qing didn't know what the white dragon was thinking, she just continued to ask.
The white dragon heard her and briefly explained the situation, saying:
"I escaped from the Dragon Palace due to some matters, and after a great defeat in a fight with a Flood Dragon, I was severely injured."
"Then I fled all the way here... and after arriving, I fainted..."
"So... the thunder that roared all night was because of you?" Leng Xiang asked subconsciously.
The white dragon heard this and glanced at Leng Xiang...
Although it didn't know why Leng Xiang asked, it still replied:
"To put it that way... it's not wrong."
Hearing this, Leng Xiang pouted and said nothing more.
Su Qing just nodded and asked:
"I see... I didn't expect such a battle to have occurred last night."
Su Qing didn't ask why the other party had escaped the Dragon Palace...
They weren't close, and she wasn't bothered to inquire about such private matters.
She simply said:
"Never mind. Since you happened to come to Flower-Fruit Mountain and were discovered by my 'fat birds,' it means we have some affinity."
"You may transform into human form and come with me to my dwelling to recuperate for a while!"
Seeing the white dragon's appearance, Su Qing felt that if left unattended, it would most likely die here.
So, after a moment of thought, she decided to see her good deed through to the end.
As for matters in the East Sea, Su Qing didn't know them; she had merely saved a little white dragon.
The white dragon nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Then, with a shake of its body, it transformed into human form.
However, this human form was not perfect.
She still had deer-antler-like dragon horns on her temples... and a few dragon scales near the corners of her eyes.
Similarly, even in human form, her wounds were still there.
Her white dress was also stained crimson.
She barely stood, cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you, Sister, for saving my life."
Su Qing shook her head slightly and asked, "It's nothing... Oh, right, what's your name... Hey, don't faint yet!"
Before Su Qing could finish speaking, the white dragon fainted again.
