Chapter 372: True Soul Realm dragon

When Hong Long and the man in the azure robe had been talking, they had lowered their voices so that Lin Fan couldn't hear what they were saying. Of course, he could hear a few things when they raised their voices, but beyond that, he didn't really hear the bulk of their conversation.

It wasn't that Lin Fan wasn't interested, it was just that he trusted Hong Long since they had also spent quite a bit of time together.

Along with Momonga, Hong Long had also taught him quite a bit since they were both body cultivators. As well, since Hong Long was a Dragon Race Expert, he had also been teaching Xiao Feng quite a bit.

So when Hong Long and the man in the azure robe came over, Lin Fan didn't put his guard up because of his trust in Hong Long. However, it wasn't just his trust in Hong Long that caused him to make this decision. It was also the fact that the man in the azure robe didn't have any hostility at all.

The little azure dragon around his arm on the other hand was another question, but in this place, it couldn't do a thing. Almost everyone here was more powerful than it, so it could only silently glare at Lin Fan's group.

When Hong Long and the man in the azure robe landed in front of Lin Fan's group, Hong Long revealed a smile and said, "Xiao Fan, I want to introduce someone to you. This is Qing Ao and his child, they are relatives of mine. All of this has been a misunderstanding and I've already cleared all of this up, so there's no need for you all to fight anymore."

The man in the azure robe introduced as Qing Ao cupped his hand and said, "Little friend Lin, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Lin Fan looked at Hong Long for a bit before giving him face and also cupping his hands to Qing Ao, "Senior, it is a pleasure to meet you as well."

Hong Long nodded when he saw this before saying, "Now that we're all acquainted with each other, let's have a talk."

Lin Fan and Qing Ao were both confused when they heard this, but Qing Ao quickly followed up by bringing out a set of pure jade furniture that he placed in front of him for everyone to sit at.

After everyone took a seat, they all just sat there in silence until Hong Long said, "Xiao Fan, if I were to have Xiao Ao guard you, what would you say?"

Once again, both Lin Fan and Qing Ao looked at Hong Long with confused and shocked looks. Neither of them knew what was going on right now, but that didn't stop Hong Long.

While Lin Fan was deep in thought, Qing Ao looked like he wanted to say something, but Hong Long sent him a secret message with his spiritual sense, "Just follow along with my plan."

Qing Ao looked at Hong Long with a doubtful gaze, but he still decided to follow along with Hong Long and just sat there waiting.

Lin Fan on the other hand had been in thought for a quite a bit before looking right at Hong Long and asking, "This is for Xiao Feng, isn't it?"

Hong Long gave a nod of appreciation before saying, "But it's also beneficial for you since Xiao Ao is a True Soul Realm dragon, which definitely has some weight in this upper realm. After all, there's nothing wrong with making more friends, don't you think?"

Lin Fan looked at Qing Ao in surprise when he heard this.

The True Soul Realm, that was the realm that all the leaders of the Galactic Humanity Alliance were at. This was a very important realm of cultivation in this upper realm, so this Qing Ao must be someone who also had quite a bit of influence in this upper realm.

If Lin Fan were to become close with Qing Ao, that would definitely give him some firm backing, but there was also the fact that Qing Ao was a dragon. While he was powerful, he was still a beast in the end, so collaborating with him was a bit…

Still, for now, Lin Fan didn't have to reveal his relationship to Qing Ao since there was no need for a True Soul Realm Expert right now. But building this relationship meant that he would have the protection of a True Soul Realm Expert in the future.

In the long run, this was definitely a good deal for him.

After a bit of thought, Lin Fan gave a nod in the end.

When Hong Long saw this, he gave a clap and said, "Very good, then that's settled." Then he changed his tone and said, "To be honest, if we're converting the ages, Xiao Ao should be around the same age as Xiao Fan, though he would be considered a bit older than you in human years. Xiao Fan, how about you and Xiao Ao become sworn brothers? That would definitely help you in the future since that would make you a part of our Dragon Race. Also Xiao Ao has always been saying that he wanted a little brother."

Lin Fan and Qing Ao were once again shocked when they heard this, but this time they found it much easier to accept.

In the beginning, Lin Fan had already decided to get closer to the Dragon Race since no matter which realm it was, dragons were one of the most powerful races. With them as his backer and with what they knew, they definitely would be able to help him.

As for Qing Ao, while he didn't have any impression of Lin Fan, he knew how important Xiao Feng's existence was to the Dragon Race, so he would follow his Uncle Hong's suggestion in the end.

Lin Fan waved his hand and brought out a bottle of wine with two cups before saying, "Brother Qing, if you would please."

Qing Ao gave a laugh and said, "Brother Lin, you are too polite. It is an honour to become sworn brothers with you."

But before they could go through with it, the little azure dragon jumped onto the table and fell down on its back as it threw a tantrum, "No, no, no, this treasure doesn't want this! Daddy, they were the ones who were bullying me, you can't just let them go that easily! You have to take revenge for this little treasure!"

Qing Ao had an awkward look on his face when he saw this, but he also quickly stood up and rapped the little azure dragon on the head as he said, "What are you doing? Get off the table right now or I swear I will punish you!"

The little azure dragon was taken aback by this since it had never been spoken to like this. Before, no matter what it did, its daddy would have spoken to it in a gentle voice and softly guided it instead of using this sharp voice.

The little azure dragon gave another sniffle as it said, "Daddy doesn't love me anymore!" But seeing the stern look on its father's face, it still got off the table in the end. It stood on the side looking aggrieved.

Qing Ao then said, "What are you doing staying in your dragon form still, don't you see that everyone else is in human form?"

The little azure dragon still had the same aggrieved look, but it also began changing. The little azure dragon's figure changed until it became a child that was around the same age as Lin Fan's pets, though it did look a year or two older.

The surprising thing was that with how naughty it was, Lin Fan was certain that it would be a boy, but it turned out to be a little girl who was like a porcelain doll in a small azure dress.

Qing Ao then turned back to Lin Fan and said in an apologetic voice, "Brother Lin, I'm very sorry about this. It's my fault for not being strict enough with her, that's why she turned out this spoiled."

The little girl had a look like she had been betrayed by the most important person in her life when she heard this.

Lin Fan just waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Brother Qing, shall we?"

Qing Ao nodded as he picked up his cup of wine, "Of course, it's an honour Lin."

The ceremony didn't take long and soon after, they had become sworn brothers.

Since this was a joyous occasion, they continued drinking the wine that Lin Fan brought out and chatting with each other.

During this chat, Qing Ao also introduced the little girl to Lin Fan. The little girl's name was actually Qing Bao Lan, which was why she kept calling herself this treasure the entire time. Of course, the way she acted was the complete opposite of how she was named.

One gave the name Lan in hopes their child would turn out elegant and graceful, but she was the exact opposite of that…

During their talk, it turned out Qing Ao was a very poor drinker and it didn't take him long to become drunk. He was also a drunk that liked to complain, so he complained about Qing Bao Lan the entire time.

After his complaints, Lin Fan asked with a smile, "Brother Qing, I actually run a pet training store. How about you let me help you discipline her a bit?"

It was too bad that the smile he revealed was his normal smile.
