Chapter 10: The Cold Dragon Maiden x the Reclusive Sixth Brother, the Survival of the Supreme.“Are there any ghosts and monsters in this world, or are you the only special one?”

“Have you encountered other supernatural beings?”

Long Zhi ultimately didn’t transform into a horse to carry Bai Yu to the capital. It wasn’t her reluctance but just a playful remark from Bai Yu.

Sister Long, still recovering from her injuries, needed proper rest. Also, riding a conspicuous white horse wouldn’t suit her current identity, potentially attracting trouble.

Although Bai Yu was robust, taking a few steps wasn’t a concern. The important thing was the companion on the journey. Walking alone was dull, and without Lu’er, he felt a bit lonely.

Fortunately, Sister Long had taken her place.

“Yes.”

Long Zhi nestled in Bai Yu’s arms for a rest, finding comfort in his embrace. Using a mysterious technique, she communicated directly with Bai Yu, sharing her experiences with various creatures.

“So, you’ve seen other monsters?”

Bai Yu smiled, and Long Zhi continued to recount her encounters, providing insights into the supernatural beings she had encountered over the centuries.

“Ah…”

The materialistic god of war’s heart shattered again. Long Zhi was not special. Indeed, there were many supernatural beings in this world.

“Are there immortals in this world?” Bai Yu asked again.

“I don’t know,” Long Zhi replied. “Perhaps there are. Monks and Taoists, driven by faith, often seek divine help for rapid progress and have a natural restraint against evil worship. They can subdue demons who have practised for hundreds of years in just a few decades.”

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, “You don’t know?”

Long Zhi added uncertainly, “I’m not sure.”

“Why do you cultivate then? Hoping to join the ranks of immortals?”

“Join the ranks of immortals? Why?” Bai Yu questioned.

Long Zhi thought for a moment and gave a simple answer, “Because I have nothing else to do, so I think I should practice, that’s all.”

Bai Yu paused, processing this response.

“Have you practised for thousands of years without leaving Leaping Dragon River?” he asked. Sᴇaʀᴄh the NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Bai Yu seemed to have a sudden realisation, widening his eyes in disbelief as he questioned Long Zhi.

All of Long Zhi’s experiences she just mentioned happened in the river.

“Yes!”

Long Zhi responded naturally.

“Have you never come out once?”

“I came out of the mountain when I fought with that old turtle.”

Bai Yu: …

“Why didn’t you leave before?”

“I was afraid of being taken away by others.”

Bai Yu: …

This supreme being is also an otaku? Do you have to be invincible to become a monk?

Bai Yu gained a deeper understanding of the fairy lady in his arms in just a few sentences.

“By the way, you’ve practised in the river for so long. Have you hoarded some treasures?”

“Don’t dragons like shiny things?” Bai Yu, recalling something, rubbed his palms together and anxiously asked.

“Shiny things? I don’t like them! I have never seen other dragons, and I don’t know,” Long Zhi replied confusedly.

Bai Yu laughed awkwardly.

“I read in ancient books that dragons like shiny things.”

East and West dragons are different.

“Uh… I read that there are legends in ancient books, so I believe them to be true.”

“There are treasures, but the young master used them during the tribulation. Other than that, Long Zhi has nothing else.”

She prepared the Dragon Essence Profound Stones for the Dragon Ascension Calamity, a one-time-use treasure. Apart from that, she has nothing. She doesn’t need anything else.

Bai Yu: …

You didn’t even play with action figures? Have you quit drugs? Living in the river with nothing for thousands of years, how did you manage?

At this moment, Bai Yu felt a profound respect for Long Zhi in his arms.
