Despite knowing he was joking, Zhou Chun replied with all seriousness, "If I can't even trust the two of you, then there's truly no one worthy of trust in the Zhou Family!"
"You kid, you really know how to flatter an old man…"
Zhou Mingde pointed at Zhou Chun and chuckled, then took the Five Elements Spirit Fruit from Zhou Chun's hand and said solemnly, "Rest assured, even if I were to die and the Zhou Family were to fall, this item would still belong only to you!"
Zhou Daoyi, who was standing by, listened to the conversation with a smile and didn't take it too seriously.
Interestingly enough, among these three core members of the Zhou Family, although they were of different generations, they never asserted their seniority during their exchanges.
Even when Zhou Chun was just at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhou Mingde, the elder, would respect his opinions and ideas most of the time, rather than using his status as an elder to coerce obedience.
The relationship between the three of them encompassed the respect for elders and love for juniors, but it was more a fellowship of peers, all striving to revitalize the Zhou Family. To call each other "fellow Daoists" wasn't an overstatement.
Therefore, sometimes the three of them would even joke with each other.
Seeing the matter of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit settled, Zhou Daoyi turned to Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, release your Thunder Jiao and let's see what a superior bloodline Flood Dragon looks like in all its divine and splendid beauty!"
Zhou Chun had naturally told them about Baibai's encounter with the "Fish Leaping Through Dragon's Gate" opportunity when it was transforming into a Flood Dragon.
As someone who also had a Flood Dragon as his Spirit Pet, Zhou Daoyi envied the chance encounter that Zhou Chun's Baibai had.
At the same time, he wanted to see for himself the extraordinary nature of the Thunder Jiao Baibai, reshaped by the "Fish Leaping Through Dragon's Gate" opportunity with a superior bloodline.
Faced with the elder's request, Zhou Chun would naturally not refuse.
He laughed and said, "Then you must look closely."
He walked outside the cave dwelling, slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, and released the Thunder Jiao Baibai.
No sooner had the Silver Flood Dragon appeared than it soared and danced in the air outside Zhou Chun's cave dwelling, with thunderous light flowing around its body, and its four claws undulating powerfully—truly a sight of awe and splendor.
"What a magnificent four-clawed Thunder Jiao!"
Zhou Mingde involuntarily exclaimed in admiration as he watched the Thunder Jiao soaring and dancing in the sky.
Without comparison, there is no harm done.
Before laying eyes on the Thunder Jiao Baibai, Zhou Daoyi's Green Flood Dragon seemed quite fine.
But now, compared to the awe-inspiring four-clawed Thunder Jiao in the air, Zhou Daoyi's Green Flood Dragon seemed a bit rustic.
Especially its python-like tail, which greatly diminished its status.
"Indeed extraordinary!"
Zhou Daoyi let out a sigh, uncertain whether to feel happy for Zhou Chun or sorry for his own Spirit Pet.
But he still slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch and released the Green Flood Dragon he had brought with him.
It was clear to see that upon coming out, the Green Flood Dragon Qingqing, upon seeing the Thunder Jiao Baibai, showed obvious envy and awe in its eyes.
The intelligence of a Third-Order Flood Dragon was not low. The Green Flood Dragon itself had evolved from the Sky Azure Cloud Python and had seen Baibai's appearance after transforming into a Flood Dragon through the Ancestral Resurrection secret technique. Therefore, it naturally knew the origins of the Thunder Jiao before its eyes.
Before releasing it, Zhou Daoyi had also told it about the Baibai's encounter with the "Fish Leaping Through Dragon's Gate" opportunity that constructed its superior Flood Dragon bloodline.
So, at this moment, Qingqing's heart was naturally filled with envy towards the Thunder Jiao Baibai.
At the same time, the difference in bloodline and power made it involuntarily hold a sense of awe towards the Thunder Jiao Baibai.
Fortunately, the Thunder Jiao Baibai didn't have the arrogance of some wild Flood Dragons and didn't look down on the Green Flood Dragon with a lower bloodline. Instead, it was pleased to see a member of its kind.
It immediately let out a low chant to greet the Green Flood Dragon.
And the Green Flood Dragon, upon hearing the greeting, also quickly responded with a low chant and swiftly rose into the air, flying alongside the Thunder Jiao Baibai.
The sight of one green and one white Flood Dragon dancing together in the sky was a marvel that had the Zhou Family Cultivators clicking their tongues in wonder.
Zhou Mingde could not help but clap his hands and laugh on the spot, "Flying side by side, two dragons dance in unison. If outsiders saw this sight, I'm afraid it would soon spread throughout the Jingguo Country!"
Having said that, his face suddenly showed a look of expectation, and he wistfully added, "In the future, when Zhengchun you successfully reach Core Formation, it might be possible to have a display of double dragons pulling the chariot on the day of the Golden Core ceremony. By then, even those Nascent Soul Stage True Persons will have heard the name of our Zhou Family, and your name, Zhengchun!"
Hearing this, both Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild with the scene he had painted.
Soon after, Zhou Chun coughed lightly and said, "Cough cough, let's forget about that. If we really did that, while it would make a scene, it might also draw unnecessary trouble due to being too ostentatious!"
Having double dragons pull a chariot—such a spectacle was typically reserved for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, with many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators unable to exhibit such a grand display.
If Zhou Chun dared to use double dragons to pull a chariot right after forming his Golden Core, what if some narrow-minded Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator heard about it and shamelessly came to demand the Wind and Thunder Twin Flood Dragons?
