Chapter 42: Solving misunderstanding
After the group of shopkeepers at “Good Eyesight” had shown their true “appearance”, each and every one was a handsome man or beautiful woman——except for one face .
The shop owner “Snowflake” was around twenty-five, or twenty-six years old . Her figure was skinny but well proportioned . Her silver-colored hair was exotic and her long legs were exceptionally attractive . According to the aesthetic theory on Earth, she would be considered the rare one among nine women . Her body type was suitable to be a model . In addition to her delicate waist, her upper and lower body parts were plump . Even though she just sat still, it was enough to draw other’s attention . If she ran around the Dragon Roar Town with this body, a huge flock of skirt-chasers would bang their heads onto the wall due to dizziness, as well as countless ears would be red and swollen due to the ear pulls from their wives .
In charge of attracting customers was “Frost”, Snowflake’s little brother . He was about seventeen, or eighteen years old . His blond short hair was as bright as sunshine . His smile was even more splendid than the sunshine . He was indeed a ladies’ man, an enemy of every man . Hidden under this amiable and splendid appearance was a fierce and tough heart . People would usually make the ‘judging someone by appearance’ mistake when they met him .
The one who took charge of the magic formation was “Graupel”, the youngest among the three “Humans” as her appearance was about twelve or thirteen years old, which was about the same age with Palin . Her soft blond hair was put up in a bun and facial features were delicate like a doll . She always wore an innocent and inquisitive look . To the group of low-grade moral standing people, who had unique taste, she might be more attractive than her big sister .
As for the cum sponger hired thug in the store, Phil, there was no flesh under his armor, he naturally didn’t need to take it off anyway .
This group of four had been running the old store “Good Eyesight” for many years . They were both the owner and the hired employers of this store . They were also the “Cold Tyrant” suppressing the Northwest Four Towns —– right, that so-called “Cold Tyrant” was not only one big dragon but three Giant Dragons and an armored peculiar person; it was a group of four people .
Among the four, Snowflake would soon become a fully-grown ice dragon, which was a rare species . Her power had far surpassed her peers . Even if she went to those bustling places, she still could survive . If it wasn’t to take care of her little brother and sister, she would have soon come into the vast world, and pursued the path of being formidable .
Frost and Graupel were prettycommonly seen Rock Dragons, which could be considered ordinary people among the Dragon Tribe . Their backgrounds were quite rough . Their parents had irresponsibly left them on a precipice . They were nowhere to be found since then . By chance, Snowflake came across and discovered them . After that, she brought them home and raised them up .

Among Giant Dragons, the relationship with the fosterers was far more intimate than the bloodline relationship . To Frost and Graupel, Snowflake was their mother but at that time, the violent Ice dragon was too young for the mother title . Hence, that title had changed into big sister .
At the beginning, these three brothers and sisters decided to leave the human world to go to a barren mountain to live . After that, Snowflake coincidentally discovered an ancient God shrine vestige . They then renovated the God shrine vestige, turned it into a safe dragon nest and moved here .
The Ice Dragon was not good at fighting, but was an innate ice magic shaman . On the contrary, the Rock Dragon was just an average caster but was born as a natural fighter . The abilities of those three young Giant Dragons perfectly complemented each other . They relied on the powerful protection formation to build a dragon nest . Moreover, Snowflake randomly found the Great Adventurer Phil . Just then, a perfect team was formed .
Over the past five decades, they went by the name of “Cold Tyrant”, taking over the mountain and becoming Kings in that mountain . They collected money from villagers as a protection fee . In their spare time, they were disguised as humans to run a grocery store within their range of influence .
They operated this grocery story was not because they wanted to collect information but was merely because of their interests . Snowflake was obsessed with finding valuable items among the trash—-therefore, the term “picking up good stuffs” was born . At the same time, she wanted to promote this recreation, as well as Frost and Graupel . . . in their eyes, regarding to what their big sister did, if there was any exception, please referred the preface and Phil, he long since didn’t have any opinions .
Snowflake’s narration method was really unique . She used dark power to condense a solid block in the air and then put a silver frost hovering flexibly above that block . She conducted the explanation by making the frost dance in the air, which was like she was drawing it by a chalk .
This kind of painting or illustrating method was very expressive and persuasive . Sui Xiong kept nodding his head when seeing this . As he saw “three dragons and an armor turned into humans to run an honest business”, he finally couldn’t stand but open his mouth to protest about it .
“Are you saying that you are running business honestly?” He interrupted Snowflake’s narration, “does this world have any owners that would mount a sneak attack on their customers?”
“A God bringing along his believer to visit the three youngsters in the Dragon Tribe, is it perhaps out of good intention?” Snowflake drew out a picture of a ferocious jellyfish holding knife and fork and a wicked shaman attacking those feeble small dragons, “nothing else than wanting to collect some ‘document’ . . . . As for the document that is the cause of life and death, will you perhaps care?”
“If it wasn’t for your little brother, who wanted to attack my believer, I would basically have not exposed myself and would have not launched the attack!” Sui Xiong was outraged, “I am not crazy to fight with three Giant Dragons, to attack a monster in armor which I don’t really know what kind of creature it is . Even if I don’t get hurt, but to my believer, it would be a huge threat! I don’t have many believers . The one that is in danger by going crazy over a small document is this Palin!”

These words moved Palin to tears . Four “humans” in the grocery store looked at each other for a while . They also could not help but slightly nod their heads .
” . . . So, everything is just a misunderstanding . ” Phil spoke in a low muffled voice to conclude .
“Misunderstanding? Of course, it is just a misunderstanding . ” Sui Xiong smiled as he looked at “Frost” .
No doubt, the cause of this misunderstanding was due to the extravagant reaction of “Frost” .
“You mean that we provoked you?” When Frost realized that he was the culprit, he couldn’t stand but speak up in a low tone, “Facing a dragon-slaying black art, is it normal to be cautious?”
“We all know that black art indeed isn’t a big threat to the Giant Dragon . ” Sui Xiong coldly laughed, “You simply thinkwhen a high-level creature dignity is provoked, it just wants to take back the black art book . “
“Don’t tell me it shouldn’t?”
Sui Xiong disdainfully groaned, “If Giant Dragon is a superior creature, then what would God be considered as? A Giant Dragon’s dignity is provoked, then how about a God’s dignity? I don’t like tardiness . If you are not content, let’s have a fight then!”
He used his tentacles to point at the opponents: “This time, we will fight outside . Find a vacant place to fight . I’ll let you know what the high sky and vast land are . At such a young age, you already want to play thug . Not any big dragon qualifies to self-claim———–Haughty! Heaven! Dragon!”
When both sides had drew swords and bent bows and ready to fight, the cold air slowly filled up the entire grocery store again immediately . Murderous intent was flowing all over the place . Palin couldn’t help but shed cold sweats . He hurriedly advised, “It is just a half black art book . Is it worth a great fight? In fact, I don’t have that many interests in Dragon-slaying black art . . . “
“This thing has nothing to do with you . ” Frost swung his arm up and interrupted him, “Putting this black art book in the trunk is my mistake . I have to fix this mistake!”
“Lecturing a Haughty Heaven Dragon is my Jianghu senior responsibility . ” Sui Xiong sneered, “As a senior, I should impart junior with some life experiences . Even though the method is a little brutal, it could be understood . . . . “
“I can’t see how a jellyfish can be a senior . Do you think you are a frog?”
The tense atmosphere was once again wakened up . “Graupel”, who was silent all along, spoke up, “Big brother, if I don’t remember wrong, the stuff inside that trunk . . . You are the one putting it in?”
Frost was surprised a little bit, scratching his head, “Right, in these recent years, I have been in charge of the ‘picking up good stuff’ trunk . “
“So . . . I always feel that older brother is a very smart guy but as a member of the Dragon Tribe, why do you have to put up a Dragon-slaying black art for sale?” Frost’s tone was very gentle and slow but it could be able to make Frost fluster . For a moment, he didn’t know what to say .
A moment ago, he had tried hard to water down the subject to let it pass but his little sister had specially brought it up once again . He really didn’t know to say .
“That’s right! Frost . You should have directly disposed such a dangerous item like that . Why did you put it for sale?” Snowflake also leaned her head, smilingly looked at Frost . Her expression was mild and friendly . The “black board” showed a picture of a small dragon working absent-mindedly, randomly littering stuffs .
Hence, Frost’s face became more flustered . The smile on his face almost froze .
“I’ve seen him cleaning that trunk but he didn’t examine the stuff . He didn’t even want to clean . Instead, he directly grabbed a bunch of sixes and sevens items and threw them in . ” The armor man in a low muffled voice stuck him a fatal move, “if we carefully check again, it might have a Giant Dragon special effect sword . . . “
“That’s right . Anyway, those things might be more or less from the “fake dragon-slaying” group . ” Snowflake’s smile became gentler . However, Frost’s forehead right now had already been soaked with cold sweats .
“I . . . . I will reevaluate the stuff inside the trunk immediately!” He hurriedly said .
“Not only in the trunk, but in the basement too . ” Graupel added . “That stinky and messy heap would cause a serious damage to a healthy, young developing person like little sister . As a responsible older brother, don’t you think you should clean them thorough to get a clean living space for your little sister?”
“It is good for you that you don’t have to live in the basement . . . “
Snowflake swung her arm up . The cold light was like a chalk writing on his forehead: “Long-winded! Quickly get to work!”
Frost reluctantly moaned then dragged the big trunk and headed back to the room .
It was imaginable that the careless young Giant dragon would not be able to be with his hateful trash heap for a long time .
After that fellow who had the mind of the Haughty Heaven Dragon got back to work in the trash heap, their conversation was getting pretty more harmonious .
In fact, no matter it was Sui Xiong, Palin or Snowflake, Graupel, Phil, they were all not the type of people that required too much . If the misunderstanding was solved, conversing would definitely be no problem .
After a while, the subject of both sides’ discussion started to turn into how to cooperate, and how to make things advantageous for everyone .
