"Nanli, do you think I've grown taller?" Hongyun turned into a human form and excitedly circled in front of the candle.

After releasing the martial soul fusion state, Nan Li waved for Hong Yun to come closer, then placed one hand on his head for a long time before finally coming to the conclusion: "Are you four feet tall? It feels like only one meter and two."

The red cloud was petrified on the spot.

Instead, Dong Yun looked at it carefully for a moment and said uncertainly: "It seems like, an inch taller?" About three centimeters.

Hong Yun put his hands on his hips and nodded rapidly, "I have grown a full inch!"

Nan Li added ruthlessly: "He's not even 1.5 meters tall. He has to stand on tiptoe to barely hug my waist."

Hong Yun stared at Nan Li with his big eyes in disbelief.

Nanli: You little brat, you want to rebel?

Hongyun pointed at Nanli with one hand, turned to look at Dongyun with eyes full of grievance.

Dong Yun said faintly: "Are you accusing me of my sister?"

Hongyun was stunned: I was so shocked.

Hong Yun handed Nan Li a string of things in an angry tone. When he saw her take it, he cleared his throat and prepared to ask for praise. However, Nan Li didn't even realize what he gave her.

“These are my scales!!!”

Nan Li: “What’s for?” What’s wrong with the scales? What use are they?

"You, you, you..." Hongyun wanted to accuse her, but when he turned his head and received Dongyun's deep gaze, he immediately wilted. He squatted on the ground, "Isn't it said that 'dragons have heart-protecting scales'? We, the Qiongs, also have them."

Nan Li carefully observed the string of things that Hong Yun gave her: in the middle was a red scale, fan-shaped, emitting a faint golden light even in the dim mountain. This should be the heart-protecting scale that Hong Yun mentioned.

There is a crescent-shaped scale on each side of the fan-shaped scale, which is light in color, almost white. This is... "reverse scale?"

Dong Yun's eyes suddenly became different when he looked at Hong Yun.

The reverse scale is an inverted scale that grows between the dragon's throat and heart. It is one of the most fragile and sensitive parts of the dragon. A dragon only has one reverse scale, and the 異兽 should be similar, with no more than two at most. Did they remove all of them?

What Dong Yun didn't know was that these scales were plucked off in two steps by Tunyun Huohuo after he adjusted his body size and chose the most suitable proportions, just to make Nanli look better.

However, Nan Li frowned, "Is this your scale? How can you pull out the reverse scale and the heart-protecting scale? Are you okay?"

As he spoke, Nan Li reached out and patted Hong Yun on the head, completely failing to understand the inner meaning of the scales.

"It's okay, new ones have grown." Hongyun buried his head in his knees and sighed in his heart: I have it so hard.

"Oh, you can also shed your skin, no, your scales." It must be said that the scales of the Swallowing Cloud Fire Hound are in line with Nan Li's aesthetic taste, but she can't think of what to do with them.

As the red cloud began to swing, he raised his head with a look of despair on his face: "You can use it as a necklace or a headdress."

"What do you want to do?" Dong Yun looked away from the scales, somewhat suspicious. Dong Yun didn't believe that he had no other purpose for sending such a thing except to please Nan Li.

"Do you really have to do something?" Hong Yun pointed at the dragon tooth ring on Nan Li's hand unconvinced, "At least it should be better looking than this thing!"

Of course his scales can help him sense Nanli's location, but he would never say this even if he was beaten to death.

Nan Li sighed softly and flicked his finger at the beast's head, "Okay, okay, I'll wear it, okay?"

Hongyun watched her hang her scales on her belt.

Okay, I'm completely convinced.
