"What? That solid-gold Buddha next door at Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, who'd been fed incense for three thousand years, got a chunk bitten off by a dragon hatchling last night?"
The Sect Master of Divine Wood Sect clutched the astronomical bill for damages and angrily searched the whole mountain for the little menace.
Meanwhile, the only dragon hatchling left in the cultivation world was fast asleep with her round little belly sticking out. Beside her lay half of an extraordinary spiritual weapon, chewed to pieces.
After the dragon race was sealed all those years ago, she fell into Divine Wood Sect, the poorest sect in the entire cultivation world.
Seeing the exquisitely adorable little dragon hatchling, her senior brothers were all ready to shower her with their overflowing paternal love.
But no one expected the little one's appetite to be astonishing!
The sect's only few hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and the only valuable thing in front of the mountain gate, a white jade stone lion, were all fair game. Add a little cumin, and she could chew them up and taste chicken.
To keep her fed, everyone in the sect was forced to compete fiercely every day.
Even the Grand Elder, who had been in secluded cultivation, was shaken out and declared he was going down the mountain to borrow money for formula from the neighboring Divine Fire Valley!
While the major sects thought Divine Wood Sect had taken in a glutton, a sword cultivator hailed as a genius came up the mountain to challenge them.
But everyone at Divine Wood Sect was busy earning money for formula, so no one came out to fight.
The genius drew his divine sword and pointed it arrogantly at the little dragon hatchling, who was busy eating.
"Is there no one left in Divine Wood Sect? Believe me, I'll crush this baby dragon!"
The little dragon hatchling sighed and stepped forward. She grabbed the divine sword and chewed it to bits with a series of crunches.
Then she burped. "It tastes like rust. Not good. Pay up!"
As she watched the devastated sword cultivator and the cultivation world's powerful figures standing there in shock, the little dragon hatchling innocently licked her lips.
So what if she eats Divine Wood Sect into poverty?
If everyone in the world dares bully her senior brothers, she'll eat the whole cultivation world until it turns upside down!
