"Stop, you ants!" The dragon roared in pursuit.
Qi Aoshuang narrowed her eyes. As she suspected, the alluring woman was nowhere to be found. Naturally, Leng Lingyun noticed as well. The two shared a glance, understanding what had happened.
The guard flew after them for a while, but returned in the end. Evidently, he had not been able to catch up to Carter.
Once the dragon returned to the ravine, he saw Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun. Currently angry, he was unwilling to acknowledge them. He merely gave a nod.
But Qi Aoshuang spoke. "These people were only here to attract your attention. That woman must have slipped in."
The dragon froze. He recalled what just happened. Thinking carefully, his expression changed. He immediately flew back.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
"Why did that woman go in?" Leng Lingyun frowned, watching as the dragon left.
"It's hard to say." Qi Aoshuang also frowned. Using beautifying potion to attract the brainless prince Banis and using his squadron to attract the dragon's attention to slip in. Naturally, that woman could not directly fight the dragons. What was she trying to do in secret?
It was unrelated to her, but Ben was the current dragon king. She could not just sit still and watch. No matter what that woman was planning, one thing was certain: it definitely would not benefit the dragon race!
Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun did not enter Dragon Valley. Warning the guarding dragon was already enough. Because they could not be identified, hastily entering was not necessarily the right choice. The best decision was to wait until Ben came out of seclusion.
Merely two days later, after Ben left seclusion, after hearing the report by his underling, he immediately went to the ravine.
Ben was like a completely new person. The Ben before them had elegant, flowy hair with profound eyes as cold as the night sky. His handsome face emanated a firm, domineering aura. He gave off the air of a king. Two people in grey followed behind him, or more accurately, two dragons in human form.
Once he saw the ordinary two people, he paused for a moment, then asking cautiously, "Claire?"
Qi Aoshuang smiled. Before she could say anything, White Emperor and Black Feather suddenly bounced out, jumping onto Ben's shoulders.
"Ah! It's really you!" he exclaimed happily.
Qi Aoshuang nodded. Ben then looked at Leng Lingyun suspiciously. "Then who are you?"
"Ben, do you dragons typically live in your dragon forms or in your human forms?" Qi Aoshuang was curious.
"Once a dragon matures, they can assume a human form. Of course, it is their choice which form they choose. However, you must assume your human form to enter the palace." Ben sighed gloomily. "Although the dragon race is proud and looks down on humans, they can only assume the human form once they mature. To be forced to assume the human form in the palace is a bit ironic."
"Perhaps, the dragon god deeply wishes for dragons to coexist with humans," Leng Lingyun uttered in a low voice.
"Indeed." When they reached the palace, Ben descended, instantly assuming his human form as he did. Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun also descended. Immediately, two beautiful maids appeared.
"Your majesty."
The two beauties bowed respectfully. Their eyes were filled with unconcealable reverence. To dragons, strength equated to law.
Ben nodded offhandedly. "Prepare two rooms for my friends."
"Yes, your majesty." The two maids bowed, then withdrew.
Ben led Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun to the main hall, then through a corridor to arrive at a small palace hall.
Another beautiful maid came to offer the three fresh water, then left. The dragon race did not enjoy tea, all choosing to drink underground fresh water.
"Ben, I came here to ask you for something," Qi Aoshuang said solemnly after getting seated.
"What is it?" Seeing that Qi Aoshuang had a serious expression, he too became serious."
"Do you know what the God Feather Heaven Slayer is?" Qi Aoshuang asked in response.
"Relic weapon?" Ben asked probingly.
Qi Aoshuang nodded.
"We do have what you want, but..." Ben rubbed his temples. "But who knows which nook or cranny it fell into. It will be difficult to find. I think it was a pair of wristguards."
Qi Aoshuang started to sweat. She hadn't expected the dragon race to treat it like nothing. At the very least, the mermaids had given it to their princess as a gift. The dragons, on the other hand, didn't even know where they put it."
"Claire, what do you want it for? Don't the sprites treat theirs like some kind of offering from their god?" Ben asked, not understanding.
"Ben, my name is now Qi Aoshuang..." she said quietly. Her eyes flashed through a myriad of emotions: grief, heartbroken, anger, hate...
