The Water Kirin prevented Xie Jiuniang from digging up the dragon scales.
She wasn't the sort to be unreasonable, "All right, you two give me a reason that can convince me, otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
"Master shouldn't dig, this, this..."
The Water Kirin's inheritance wasn't complete.
It only knew not to dig, but couldn't articulate a reason why.
Xie Jiuniang probed, "Is there a Dragon Soul here?"
"No." The Water Kirin was very certain of this.
"Then why can't I dig up the dragon scales?"
"Water Water feels it's so dangerous, so frightening, wu wu." For the first time ever, the Water Kirin broke down and cried.
This completely dumbfounded Xie Jiuniang.
A dragon corpse made it cry, this was far too timid.
Fine, to avoid making the Water Kirin cry, Xie Jiuniang decided, albeit begrudgingly, to take away the dragon corpse. So, she found the largest-capacity Storage Ring she had on her, which could easily contain a small mountain.
