That autumn, the leaves fell in abundance, and the streets of Weilong Kingdom were covered with withered yellow leaves. Even the century-old tree in front of the Dragon Palace had turned into rotten wood.

Pedestrians hurried past the gates of the Dragon Mansion, fearing that there might be cannibals there.

As the first rays of sunlight broke through the dawn, the sound of orderly footsteps suddenly came from afar. Looking closer, it turned out to be the imperial guards from within the palace. They were clad in armor and wielded long spears, completely surrounding the Dragon Palace.

A man wearing an iron mask stepped forward and announced loudly, "The Long family is guilty of colluding with the Shu Yi Kingdom. Order the entire family to be executed immediately!"

And so they stormed into the Dragon's mansion, hacking down anyone they encountered with a single stroke. That day, the autumn leaves turned a blood-red hue...

Just then, a blurry figure came into view. He shouted and let out a dragon's roar—a roar that resounded throughout the entire Mighty Dragon Kingdom!

Qingge suddenly woke up from her dream, cold sweat streaming down her face. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and looking around, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It was just a dream after all—"

I thought it was just a dream, but suddenly a mournful dragon's roar rang out from outside the window.

Hearing the dragon's roar that pierced the sky, Qingge froze, her expression changing drastically. "This, this is a dragon's roar? Could it be..."

Qingge hurriedly sat up, threw on a coat without bothering to tidy her appearance, and rushed towards Qingyang's palace, her mind anxiously thinking about what happened back then—

Meanwhile, Gu Liyan and Mo Chen, who were still resting, were also awakened by the dragon's roar.

"Dragon's roar? How can there be dragons in this world?" Gu Liyan asked in surprise.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Mo Chen spoke with a grave expression, "Didn't you hear that mournful cry? It doesn't seem like a good omen!"

Gu Liyan frowned, noticing a faint red tinge in his vision. He immediately got up, went to the window, and opened it. He was stunned to see a blood-red dragon-shaped cloud in the east where the sun was rising. His body trembled slightly.

Noticing Gu Liyan's unusual expression, Mo Chen rushed over. "What's wrong? Another fire..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen caught a glimpse of the scene outside the window out of the corner of his eye. The blood-red dragon-shaped cloud seemed to have come alive, clearly resembling a long dragon!

He was stunned for a moment. "This is Dragon's Wrath!"

Suddenly, Gu Liyan's gaze sharpened as he saw Qingge rushing out. He frowned and hurriedly chased after her, with Mo Chen following closely behind.

"Qingqing!" Gu Liyan called out.

Qingge was taken aback. There was only one person in the world who would still call her Qingqing. She turned her head and saw Gu Liyan walking towards her. Her anxiety was inexplicably relieved, and she felt a warmth.

Gu Liyan had already arrived in front of Qingge, and Qingge smiled slightly and called out "Gu Liyan".

Gu Liyan smiled slightly and nodded, the two of them still acting as if it were the first time they met.

Qingge pursed her lips and said, "Gu Liyan, I'm... I'm sorry..."

Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment before he realized that Qingge was apologizing for what she had said earlier. He then smiled and said, "I didn't mind."

Qingge glanced at Gu Liyan, as if she wanted to say something, but Mo Chen came up to the two of them and asked in confusion, "What are you two standing here for? Where are you planning to go?"

"Qingqing, you seemed to be in a hurry just now. Where are you going?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion.

Qingge raised her hand, pointed to the dragon pattern in the sky that resembled the evening glow, and said with a serious expression, "The calamity of the Mighty Dragon Kingdom has already befallen us, and this dragon's might mark is the best proof."

Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow. "Dragon Might? I think the reason why the Kingdom of Mighty Dragon is named this is related to this, right?"

Qingge looked at Gu Liyan with some surprise, "How did you know?"

“Dragons are rare mythical beasts. Since their name exists in this world, it means that dragons have appeared in the world before,” Mo Chen said.

Qingge nodded. "That's right. Not only that, but the Weilong Kingdom also has descendants of the dragon race. They have a trace of dragon blood in them, but a few years ago, they were framed by villains and their entire families were ordered to be executed by the previous king..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's expression changed, and he opened his mouth but said irritably, "How foolish! Since you already know that the dragon race has bloodlines and that you are a descendant of the dragon race, why do you still do something that will anger both heaven and man to silence them!"

Qingge shook her head. "That's not the case. It's mainly because of their bloodline. Although some people are kind-hearted, others are born as children of a demonic dragon. Once their resentment is released, it will cause chaos!"

Mo Chen frowned and said, "So that's why you killed everyone?"

Qingge shook her head slightly and said with a serious expression, "Yes and no. A few years ago, a powerful soothsayer came to Weilong Kingdom. He was appointed as the national advisor by the previous king and predicted that Weilong Kingdom would be destroyed by Long Yuan in the near future. At that time, the monarch was very concerned, so some people secretly attacked the Long family in order to please the monarch and nip them in the bud."

Mo Chen was puzzled. Pointing to the sky, he coldly asked, "If that's the case, since they've already been executed along with their entire families, shouldn't they be fine? So where did this dragon's resentment come from? And how did it attract such divine and human wrath?"

Gu Liyan also looked at Qingge with a puzzled expression.

Qingge pursed her lips, looking ashamed, and said, "Actually, it's because of me. I had a good relationship with some of the younger generation of the Long family, and I couldn't bear to see them wiped out. So, out of compassion, I saved some of the descendants of the Long family and let them live in different parts of the Weilong Kingdom..."

Mo Chen frowned and looked at Gu Liyan, saying, "Once the Dragon's Resentment erupts, it will definitely attract natural disasters. If we intervene to resolve it, we might bring trouble upon ourselves. You..."
