Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3172: You Can Refuse, But Then You Don’t Eat

The Evil Dragon innerly roared. Merely having grasped two magic texts, now more study was demanded?

"If I learn this one, I will forget those two."

Qian Jiyun: "..."

Was that even a concern? Such a triviality.

"If you refuse to learn this, you will never truly master the other two. So, will you learn it or not?" His gaze turned sinister as he queried the Evil Dragon.

"I'll learn..."

The Evil Dragon conceded with a weak reply. Was there any alternative?

Shortly thereafter, Wei Na concluded the meal preparations. An Jiuyue distributed portions to Bai Yan and their companions, then sent a serving to Qian Jiyun. Naturally, the Evil Dragon received his share as well.

"Finally, I can eat."

The Evil Dragon rejoiced. While the study of magic texts had been mentally taxing in recent days, the undeniable pleasure of having food was truly magnificent.

Alas, his elation was short-lived as his meal was unceremoniously snatched by a heartless man, leaving not even a scent for him to savor.

"What are you doing? I am ravenous."

He directed a mournful look at Qian Jiyun. Before food appeared, hunger was not a concern, but now, missing a meal felt unbearable.

Could anyone accept their delectable meal being confiscated?

Though he found it unacceptable, he was powerless, unable to best the individual before him!

"Memorize these two passages, and you may eat," Qian Jiyun declared, gesturing towards the book with one hand.

"What?"

The Evil Dragon stared, utterly bewildered.

"These two passages span ten pages! How am I expected to memorize them?"

If such an ability were within his grasp, wouldn't he have long since departed to revel in life's pleasures?

"You are not obligated to memorize them," Qian Jiyun replied, raising an eyebrow as he observed the dragon.

The Evil Dragon: "..."

Indeed, memorization wasn't mandatory, but that meant no food, correct?

"Fine, I will memorize them. Is that sufficient?"

Under duress, one must yield. What else could be done? This was undeniably his domain, yet it had transformed into a place of another's arrogance.

With no other recourse, the unfortunate Evil Dragon commenced his memorization.

As it turned out, both humans and demonic beasts possess untapped potential. Motivated by the prospect of a morsel of food, the Evil Dragon diligently committed the magic text to memory, accomplishing in a single dawn what had previously taken two days.

An Jiuyue, who had been quietly observing the unfolding events: "..."

Why did this Evil Dragon resemble a child, requiring coercion to achieve progress? Witnessing his current exertion for sustenance, she mused.

Evidently, his mind had not been truly engaged previously. From this day forward, she resolved that Jiyun would assign tasks to the Evil Dragon, with food being withheld if the daily quota remained unfulfilled!

"We should be departing this frozen land soon, shouldn't we?"

Hong Tianxu also recognized the Evil Dragon's reliance on the pressure of food to spur his efforts.

...

Outside the Little Forest, a fierce blaze consumed the surroundings.

The inferno engulfed not only the books originating from the Saintess Sect but also various other possessions; anything left behind by the Saintess Sect, excluding herbs and sustenance, was reduced to ashes.

Who could ascertain if malevolent influences lurked within these discarded items?

Although these individuals lamented the loss, the consideration that retaining such objects might jeopardize their families rendered the destruction a necessary sacrifice, diminishing any profound regret.

"Qing Family Head, a moment of your time, please. Let us confer on our subsequent course of action," a Family Head called out to the Qing Family Head, who was engrossed in a search.

The Qing Family Head, who was urgently instructing his subordinates to locate the Eldest Young Master, composed himself upon being addressed by the summoned Family Head.

The Eldest Young Master was undoubtedly occupied with pressing matters and would undoubtedly be safe.
