Shen Fei instantly understood Chen Fei's dilemma, but still occasionally covered her mouth to snicker. "..." Chen Fei→..→, missy, enough already! Noticing Chen Fei's increasingly dark expression, Teacher Shen straightened her face and said seriously, "Yes, yes, those evil capitalists, may they perish!" Capitalists: Are we eating your rice or what! "The fish are done!" The children, who had been roasting over the same fire, shouted excitedly, echoing through the schoolyard just five years ago. Beside the fire, they roasted not only clothes but also fish, weaving the task in wherever they could. Fearless as young calves, the children picked fish from the shore and daringly coaxed the female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan to keep catching fish from the stream, applauding and cheering each time she tossed a fish ashore. Whether swimming upstream or downstream rapidly, splashing water everywhere, Yilan would return covered with a variety of big and small fish, earning a lasting round of applause and cheers, which quite went to her head. The elementary schoolers naturally claimed these spoils of war, busying themselves with gutting and scaling the fish. Stuffing the bellies with sliced ginger and freshly picked wild onions, scoring the outside, rubbing it with oil, roasting it beside the fire until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then sprinkling some pepper, salt, and cumin powder on top—they were only described with two words: delicious! "Delicious!" "Genuinely fragrant! So tender!" "So tasty!" With a plentiful amount of fish brought back by the female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan, each elementary schooler had one to themselves, enjoying it tremendously. The two watchdogs that usually wagged their tails and fawned over everyone come mealtime were now hiding, tails tucked, in the bushes, unwilling to come out. If it weren't for their concern for their owner and a crowd of little ancestors, the two would have probably already run away scared by that huge creature. Even the outwardly strong but inwardly weak "Ah Hu" managed to hold on. Finally cooling down the scalding roasted fish, Chen Fei took a small bite, spat out a few fine bones, and seeing Yilan still causing trouble in the stream, he couldn't help but express concern, "Won't the fish in this stream be over fished?" The natural conditions in Xingdu Kush Mountain Area weren't very good. The harsher the environment, the weaker the ecological balance. The stream in front of them was a rare lucky find, but the crystal clear water wasn't deep—the clearer the water, the fewer the fish; even if it was flowing, it might not sustain many fish. "No worries, it's not breeding season yet, and there are plenty of fish both upstream and downstream." Teacher Shen Fei enjoyed her meal immensely, teasing Chen Fei's little bird with a small piece of boneless fish belly. The little glutton, guessing the relationship between Teacher Shen and his father, flew over without hesitation, pecked, and gulped it down neatly. The Pure Light Sparrow, an omnivorous magical beast, didn't mind meat or vegetation and soon had a round belly, swallowing up the fish belly on Teacher Shen's hand into its crop. "The environment here is really great." Chen Fei nodded in agreement. The mountain scenery was mostly monotone, with only occasional greenery, most of which was moss and lichen, along with a few plants adapted to arid, cold, and barren soil. Only near sources of water did the vegetation thrive. Sky Knight Terry shook her head, sighing emotionally. Her boss, Captain Moran, confidently said, "This is due to Her Majesty the Empress's efforts!" Her Majesty the Empress spent thirty years painstakingly nurturing and educating these young Metallic Giant Dragons, cared for by the Silan Royal Family, indeed making them very different from their ferocious and inaccessible kin. If this perseverance continues, in a thousand years, the Metallic Dragon Clan will completely change its adverse image in the minds of all Intelligent Species. ... Nearly half of the employees who had gathered at the Aircrew Base had already dispersed. In terms of efficiency in memory searching, the Psychic Illusion Dragon Clodia surpassed Psychological Counselor Li Bai's hypnotism, needing only five minutes to search through nearly a month's memories. "That's enough for today!" The Illusion Dragon lifted its head to glance at the sun setting towards the western horizon. The sky was filled with multicolored clouds, painting the final glow before the sunset. "Yilan hasn't returned yet." Executive Manager Hanna Gagar, who had remained at the Aircrew Base, kept looking anxiously toward the gate. Not only the female Metallic Giant Dragon but also two Sky Knights hadn't returned; she wondered where they had gone, having not seen them all day.

The team leader of the first team of the North District One Sky Cavalry Group of the Silan Dynasty, leader of the attending personnel of Sky Dragon City, Micro, cast an inquiring glance at the returning Sky Knights. "Back already!" Captain Moran of the Shadow Fox Squad nodded nonchalantly. The same question and the same answer meant no mishaps had occurred, marking yet another peaceful day. Micro raised an eyebrow; after such a dramatic rush out, he had expected some sort of disturbance, but surprisingly, nothing had happened. This was indeed good news. Chen Fei and the female Metallic Giant Dragon appeared outside the gate, with a rope perfectly intact around the latter's neck, the other end held by the former. A well-fed, worn-out Little Bird perched on a shoulder, its head tucked, eyes half-closed, occasionally chirping sleepily. The donkey from the production team, no, the dragon, was being led back. This scene broke quite a few spectacles. -
