Chapter 69: Dead Creature

After having her breakfast, Su Ruan walked out, wanting to look around the orchard.

She still could not stop thinking about what had happened last night and was hoping that she could find some proof to let her know that he was not crazy.

Following her instinct, Su Ruan walked slowly to the place where she had found that dragon. She finally found the tree where she had seen that creature but could not find anything that would prove that last night was not a dream.

Her eyes were staring at the spot where she had found the dragon in a daze. Slowly, she approached the place and crouched on the ground, and touched the soil. Her brow furrowed as she could not find any blood spots.

"Sister Ruan, what are you doing here?"

Hearing her cousin's voice, Su Ruan stood up quickly and flashed a smile. "Yu Xi. I was walking around and thought I saw something."

Ma Yu Xi craned her neck to look at the spot where Su Rua has been looking at earlier. "Did you find anything?"

"No. I think my eyes were playing tricks on me."

Ma Yu Xi decided not to think too much about this matter and walked closer to her cousin. "Sister Ruan, are you ready?"

Su Ruan raised a brow and shot a puzzled look. "Ready for what?"

"Have you forgotten?" Ma Yu Xi inched closer and whispered, "We are supposed to join Young Master Long and his cousin fishing the day after tomorrow."

A faint smile curled on her lips when she saw the expression on Ma Yu Xi's face. "Are you excited about it?"

"Of course." Ma Yu Xi heaved a sigh. "Didn't I mention it previously? It was hard for one to meet anyone from the family. But it seemed that after you returned to this town, I get a chance to meet the Young Master a few times."

Su Ruan smiled as she continued to listen to Ma Yu Xi gushing about the trip.

She lowered her head, thinking about going to meet the young master again. She suddenly thought about the story that Long Fei had told her at the bakery café not too long ago.

Perhaps, the man would know something about the dragon?

A loud commotion snapped her out of her trance.

In a distance, a few workers from the orchard were seen running towards the lake. Even those who were working in the warehouse had come over to take a look.

Su Ruan exchanged her gaze with her cousin and they were both wondering what was going on.

"Sister Ruan, we should go and take a look too." Ma Yu Xi tugged at her hands and dragged her towards the lake.

When the two arrived, there was already a large crowd gathering by the lake.

Su Ruan craned her neck and followed everyone's gaze, however, there were too many people and she could not see anything.

"What's going on?" Ma Yu Xi asked the person beside her.

The young man turned and was surprised to see Ma Yu Xi. "Miss Ma. I heard that they found a dead, giant snake in the lake."

"A giant snake?" Ma Yu Xi looked at him n shock. "Dead? How can there be a giant snake around this lake?"

"Un." The young man nodded. "I heard that Old Man Xiao was on his boat when he saw the creature floating on the water. He thought that it was still alive and had called several men to catch it. However, when they got close, they found that the creature had already died."

"That's too scary!" One of the onlookers whispered. "I am never going to take a swim in the lake ever again."

Meanwhile, Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the news. She could not stop thinking about the little friend she met yesterday and worried about him.

That tiny creature had left before she woke up.

Perhaps he decided to shift back to his original size and return to the lake.

Could it be that someone saw him and killed him before he managed to return to the lake?

Feeling a little anxious, Su Ruan started to push through the crowd to get closer to the lake. Her mind was filled with the image of the dragon, lying on the ground, unmoving.

She did not know why but her heart was in so much pain upon thinking of the dragon's death. She had only met him briefly but could already feel a certain connection with him. She would be very sad if he died.

As she got closer to the water, Su Ruan saw a few boats on the lake water, working together to pull something out from the water.

Because their orchard was the closest land, the men planned to drag the creature over so that they could figure out what to do with it.

Su Ruan continued to watch the water anxiously. She could only pray that the snake was not the little friend that she had made last night.

A group of men appeared from behind the crowd, instructing them to move aside as a crane was going to pass.

It was said that the creature was too big that it would be difficult for them to drag it out to the land. Therefore, someone had suggested using the heavy machine to pull it out of the water.

Ma Hao Dong appeared with the group with a serious look on his face. The creature was going to be dragged over to his orchard and he came to take a look at it lest the men would accidentally destroy his trees.

Soon, the boats finally stopped at the lake and the crane came closer to drag the creature out.

Su Ruan joined the others to watch the scene where the men would pull the creature out of the water. Her heartbeat accelerated and her hands balled into tight fists as she waited.

Finally, she could see the creature in the water.

Her eyes narrowed as she tried to focus.

Seeing the creature's head, Su Ruan finally heaved in relief.

It's not him.

Fortunately, the dead creature was not her dragon!
