Gian G had not sensed a significant flow
of spiritual energy nearby it had all
been absorbed by the Golden Dragon tree
with even the Surplus utilized to
generate the scales giangi attempted to
pluck the scales by hand but her efforts
were in vain the scales were not only
incredibly tough but also tightly a fix
to the trunk she then Drew her black
gold dagger preparing to pry the scales
loose apologies dear tree this may hurt
a bit please bear with it as GI anji's
dagger slipped into the gap between a
scale and the trunk the Golden Dragon
Tree emitted a high-pitch scream ah what
are you doing the Golden Dragon Tree was
visibly agitated shaking off several
leaves in its furied Gian instinctively
recoiled and suddenly a strikingly
handsome figure with blonde hair and
blue eyes appeared before her you little
brat how can you be so rude look at your
knife you've cut into my beautiful skin
the blonde man was visibly enraged
extending his hand to show G on g a red
mark on his pale delicate armed giangi
quickly tucked her black gold dagger
behind her stammering I just wanted to
pick some scales I didn't mean to hurt
you I see you are a young girl and I
thought I would allow you to gather a
few scales without without interference
yet you resorted to using a knife the
blonde man paced back and forth in front
of the Golden Dragon Tree clearly
Furious however upon noticing cheetah
sister behind Gian G his expression
softened sha Li you are here too oh she
is your savior sha Li must be cheetah
sister's name it had an inexplicable
charm the blonde man scrutinized Gian G
from head to toe then reverted to his
previous anxious yet somewhat irate
demeanor gon G dar not speak only
secretly scanning the blonde man
confirming her suspicions that the
Golden Dragon Tree was indeed his true
form with combat prowess too formidable
to be identified however Gian G had no
intention of confronting him directly
with just over 20 minutes remaining she
would simply use her double points card
and await her return Why apologies I
only resorted to using my knife because
I couldn't extract the scales the blonde
man's anger flared again as he stepped
forward and effortlessly plucked a scale
from the Golden Dragon tree how could
you not extract it look it's right here
as he spoke he plucked two more scales
from the Golden Dragon tree and tossed
them into gian's hands Gian was
momentarily taken AB back and slowly
replied how did you manage to do that I
didn't catch it the golden-haired man
upon hearing this stepped forward and
collected three or four additional
scales do you understand how could you
not take them off look I've just done it
the man's enthusiasm grew as he
continued to gather more scales and now
held 16 Golden Dragon Tree scales in her
possession she carefully stored them
away lamenting that they were not
gathered by her own hand thus yielding
no increase in her points Doo you
comprehend the golden-haired man
suddenly inquired yes yes I understand
Gian nodded stepping forward to attempt
to collect the scales herself the
golden-haired man began to mumble to
himself this is all for sha Li sake Gian
did not hear him clearly and turned back
to ask huh unfazed by the lack of
response she reached out again to touch
the Golden Dragon Tree scales too her
astonishment she easily plucked one off
this time earning a 50 point increase
each scale was worth 50 points and there
were likely hundreds on this tree Gian
gazed at the dazzling array of gleaming
scales her mouth watering at the sight
while observing the expression on the
golden-haired man's face she continued
to gather the scales senior am I doing
it right G in tentatively asked the
golden-haired man while shall I nodded
in satisfaction indeed that's exactly
how it's done very good after speaking
he stood up yawned and remarked I'm
