Chapter 450 Extra Five: The Girl Who Serves the Dragon

The most powerful beast race on the Orcish Continent is the Dragon race.

The dragon race is a race of heaven and earth, enjoying boundless lifespan.

The place where the dragons live is called the Dragon Realm, and only members of the Dragon Servant Clan from outside the Dragon Realm can enter.

Legend has it that the Dragon Realm is filled with countless jewels and gold, enough to make one dizzy with envy.

However, only the Dragon Servant Clan knows what exactly lies within the Dragon Realm.

The Dragon Servant Clan, as a beast race that serves the dragons, sends eligible young girls from their clan to the Dragon Realm every five years for the dragons to choose from.

If you're lucky, you might become a dragon's companion, enjoying an endless lifespan, and your family will also prosper.

The selection meeting, which takes place once every five years, has arrived again. The dozen or so dragon-serving tribes around the Dragon Domain have sent their eligible girls to the square.

Jiang Xi was wearing a linen dress that had been washed white, and her hair was braided into a thick, long braid that hung down her back.

She stood awkwardly among a hundred or so girls, waiting to enter the Dragon Realm.

The beastmen of the various dragon-serving clans stood outside the plaza, awaiting the results.

If she is chosen, it is a blessing for the clan. If she is not chosen, a girl who has been to the Dragon Realm can still marry an excellent beastman of the Dragon Servant Clan.

In this era, the ratio of females to beastmen was not exaggerated.

A skilled orc can marry several females.

Similarly, a capable female can marry several orcs.

Not long after, golden light suddenly rose above the square, and a huge golden dragon appeared in the air.

The beastmen immediately knelt down.

"Welcome, Dragon God!"

"Welcome, Dragon God!"

Greetings echoed one after another, spreading like waves through the forest and startling a flock of birds into flight.

The golden dragon didn't speak, but instead raised its head and suddenly exhaled a cloud of golden mist.

The mist slowly descended, settling on the kneeling orcs.

In an instant, all the orcs felt a powerful force flowing into their bodies, filling them with strength and making them want to throw punches and roar.

After the golden dragon finished spraying golden mist, its body emitted golden light and it drooped downwards.

In an instant, all the girls in the square disappeared, and the giant dragon floating in the air also slowly vanished.

After the oppressive aura unique to the dragons disappeared, the beastmen outside the square gradually got up and relaxed.

They did not leave, because they were waiting for the unsuccessful females to come out.

So, the orcs set up fires in twos and threes on the flat ground outside the square and began to roast meat for lunch.

During this time, other young beastmen from the Servant Dragon Clan came to the Third Servant Dragon Tribe to inquire about the female with braided hair in the female group.

"Is that a female from your tribe? I've never seen her before."

The third servant dragon, the leader of the orcs, glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"What's it to you?"

The young orc groaned and scratched his head sheepishly.

"I'm just asking first. If she's not chosen, I'd like to marry her and bring her back to our Sixth Clan."

The orcs of the Third Servant Clan by the campfire were displeased.

"Do you even have a chance?"

"Go away, get out of here, she would never marry you."

The young beastmen were somewhat displeased by the rebuke, but since they were outside the Dragon Realm and wanted to marry a female member of the Servant Clan, they could only suppress their anger and prepare to go and ask the beautiful female directly later.

Dragons have long lifespans, and the Dragon Maiden selection happens only once every five years; not everyone can stay on.

Generally speaking, it's extremely rare for even one person to survive in five years.

According to the records of the ten major dragon-serving clans, only two can survive for a hundred years.

Nevertheless, the Dragon Servant Clan still diligently sends eligible young girls to the plaza every five years.

After all, each time, they receive the blessing of the dragons, which strengthens their bodies and gives them the opportunity to break through bottlenecks and become even stronger.

Therefore, the election held once every five years is just a formality for the beastmen.

For the Dragon Servant Clan, only females who participate in the selection process and enter the Dragon Realm are considered true females and eligible for marriage.

Therefore, even if orcs like a female in their tribe, they have to wait until the selection meeting held every five years, and only if the dragons do not want her can they choose her.

Among the ten major dragon servant clans, due to their close blood ties, most would choose from females of other dragon servant clans.

This is also why the sixth servant clan came to ask the third servant clan.

Of course, intermarriage within the same clan is not forbidden; as long as they are not siblings, they can marry.

Choosing from other races is just a tradition passed down through generations; many orcs and females also choose mates from their own race.

After the orcs of the Sixth Servant Clan left, several orcs fawned over the leader of the Third Servant Clan at the campfire, massaging his shoulders and back.

"Brother Kai, don't worry, once Jiang Xi comes out, I guarantee she'll only be able to marry you."

The leader of the orcs was named Kai, the son of the third chieftain of the Dragon Clan. He had long had his eye on Jiang Xi, but had been rejected repeatedly.

If it weren't for his father's firm opposition, insisting on waiting for the election held every five years, he would have married her long ago.

This time, he personally led a group to keep watch, just so she could come out and immediately marry her, giving no orcs a chance, nor giving her a chance to escape.

A mere orphan girl, with no background or support, wouldn't she be completely at his mercy after leaving the Dragon Realm?

After the golden light in the square disappeared, Jiang Xi and the group of girls found themselves in a world filled with golden light.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the blinding golden light.

She then discovered that they were in a huge square with countless towering stone pillars, each carved with a winged dragon.

Looking out, it was so vast that the end could not be seen.

While she couldn't see the end, Jiang Xi could feel gazes coming from all directions.

She is very sensitive to gaze.

The girls around them were already incredibly excited.

Looking at the golden light in the sky and the giant dragon statue in the square, they were so excited that they hugged their close friends tightly.

"Dragon Domain! Dragon Domain!"

"I've heard that if we go into the Dragon Realm and then come out, our descendants will become stronger!"

"I wish I could be chosen by the dragons!"

"I really want to be a female dragon! I could live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!"

"My God! It's practically as old as heaven and earth."

"..."

The girls chattered excitedly.

Some of the girls had already begun to leave the group and explore the boundless square.

As Jiang Xi was observing, three or four girls walked past her and deliberately bumped into her.

One of them turned his head and glared at her fiercely.

"Let me tell you, don't even think about hitting on Brother Kai!"

Jiang Xi pursed her lips, choosing not to clash with them, but instead pondering the situation.

I need to think about what to do after leaving the Dragon Realm.

She didn't want to marry Kai, but among the Third Servant Dragon Clan, the other beastmen didn't dare to marry her either.

The Dragon Realm is located in the dangerous Ten Thousand Mountains, as is the Dragon Servant Clan.

Jiang Xi had never left the Shilong tribe, but she had witnessed the dangers posed by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts around the tribe.

She was too weak to even kill a chicken, and had no way of leaving these mountains.

The more she thought about it, the less she knew what to do.

Must we simply accept our fate?

She hung her head, trying to find a way out for herself.

As for being chosen by the dragons to follow this path, she never imagined it.

After all, the chances of being chosen by the dragon clan are even lower than the chances of her leaving the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

As Jiang Xi was thinking, she suddenly realized that the surroundings were becoming quieter and quieter.

She raised her head in confusion and looked around, only to find that the hundred or so dragon maidens who had come in with her were all gone.

Her pupils contracted and her heart raced.

After standing there for a while, she called out to the empty square.

Is anyone there?

The only response she received was silence.

Although Jiang Xi's heart was racing, she guessed that this might be the way the dragons selected females.

She wasn't sure if she should explore further, but the thought of being sent back outside made her too lazy to bother.

She wanted to conserve her energy to think about what to do after she got out.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xi sat down cross-legged, deciding to conserve her energy and wait until the selection of females was over.

When the time comes to leave, we'll still have the energy to run towards other beastmen.

If all else fails, she'll just pick one that catches her eye from among the other beastmen.

As long as they are not from the same servant clan, Kai, as the son of the third servant clan leader, has no way to deal with her.

Jiang Xi sat cross-legged, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered.

Her slender, white fingers lightly touched her face, her brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently, her facial expressions rich and varied.

Unbeknownst to her, her expression had already caught the attention of many dragon-like beastmen.

Just because she can't see them doesn't mean they can't see her, or that they can't see her.

The unmarried dragon beastmen were in the square, but they concealed themselves, and only the destined females could find them.

This is also why the Dragon Servant Clan sends in a young girl every five years, but only one can stay for decades.

Almost no females are able to find their presence.

Of course, there have also been instances where a dragon-orc fell in love with a female at first sight and took the initiative to appear before her.

However, dragons are powerful, beautiful, and extremely proud, and rarely take the initiative to choose females.

They believed in destiny, and that only the female they found in Longlin was the one sent by the gods to spend their lives with them.

A dragon chuckled softly.

"An interesting little female."

Other dragons teased, "You've fallen for her?"

"It's quite interesting that she didn't come looking for us. Could it be that she doesn't want to marry a dragon?"

"Perhaps, she felt unworthy of the great and sacred dragon race."

"Hey~ Stop being so narcissistic. You dressed up more dazzlingly than anyone else at this female selection event."

The dragon youths were discussing it.

Suddenly, a boy's voice rang out.

"I want her."

The air fell silent for a moment.

However, the boy had already walked out.

But as he stood before the female, a shrunken dragon egg suddenly appeared out of thin air and nestled into her bosom.

Jiang Xi was deep in thought when she was suddenly stuffed into her arms by a heavy, round ball, and she was stunned for a moment.

She looked down into her arms and didn't notice the boy standing in front of her.

She stared at the large, black egg with golden patterns, completely bewildered.

Soon, several gusts of wind were heard.

She looked up and saw several orcs wearing black and gold robes around her.

Females are not as tall as orcs to begin with, and Jiang Xi was sitting cross-legged on the ground, feeling as if she were surrounded by a group of giants.

She was about to speak and ask them if they had come to take back the eggs they were holding.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in the tips of her fingers as she held the big egg, as if she had been cut by something.

She hissed softly and looked down again, only to see a small cut on her fingertip from which a drop of blood oozed.

But then, the blood droplet disappeared into the large black-gold egg.

Then, Jiang Xi and the large egg in her arms simultaneously emitted a golden-black light.

At the same time, she sensed a strange connection within her body.

And the object of their contact... seems to be the egg in her arms... a dragon egg?

The black and gold light appeared only for a few moments.

But it was in those few moments that the entire dragon race was alarmed.

In an instant, Jiang Xi was surrounded by countless dragon-type beastmen.

Looking around, all she saw were golden vertical pupils, which made her feel as if she had fallen into a strange situation.

She picked up the dragon egg from her arms and handed it forward.

"Your, your dragon eggs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dragon-like beastmen surrounding her suddenly knelt down in unison, bowing to the dragon egg in her arms with her as the center.

Jiang Xi was truly stunned.

Later, she learned that this was Wang Long, the ruler of the Dragon Realm.

The previous king dragon had been dead for thousands of years, but the new king dragon in the dragon egg had also remained dormant for thousands of years and had never been born.

Now, Wang Long suddenly acted strangely and chose the female dragon.

This means that Wang Long is about to be born.

On the plaza outside the Dragon Realm, a golden dragon appeared, and a burst of golden light scattered.

Then, hundreds of girls appeared in the square, and the beastmen outside the square also quickly got up.

"Why are you out so early?"

Kai, accompanied by orcs, moved among the females in search of Jiang Xi.

But then, he suddenly felt a pressure coming from above, which forced him to his knees.

The voice of the golden dragon slowly rose, like the tolling of an ancient bell.

"The third servant dragon clan disrespected the female dragon, stripped her of her dragon aura, and exiled her to a foreign land, never to return."

The dragon's words startled all the orcs in the square.

"Dragon female?"

"A new female dragon has been born?"

"The Third Servant Dragon Clan? It's from the Third Servant Dragon Clan?"

After the golden dragon finished speaking, it disappeared from the spot without revealing the identity of the new female dragon.

However, the third dragon beastmen soon discovered that Jiang Xi was not among the females.

"Jiang... Jiang Xi... It's Jiang Xi!"

In an instant, all the orcs turned pale.

Jiang Xi lost her parents when she was young and suffered a lot of bullying in her clan. Kai even wanted to force her to marry him.

Their faces were grim when they suddenly noticed that the other female dragon servants and orcs in the square were avoiding them as if they were some kind of plague.

At the same time, the female members of the Third Servant Dragon Clan and the beastmen discovered that golden aura was emanating from their bodies.

The dragon energy passed down through generations, as well as the dragon energy brought by the giant dragon clan, vanished instantly.

Without the dragon's energy, they will no longer be able to survive in these Hundred Thousand Mountains and will be surrounded by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts from outside the Dragon Realm.

At the same time, the dragon aura on everyone in the Third Servant Dragon Clan tribe gradually left their bodies and disappeared into the air.

The Manchu beastmen and the females knelt in fear, facing the direction of the Dragon Realm, praying for the Dragon God's blessing.

But the only response they received was the rustling of leaves in the forest as the wind blew through them.

In the Dragon Realm, Jiang Xi was invited into a luxurious palace.

The palace is located at the highest point of the Dragon Realm, offering a panoramic view of the entire Dragon Realm's magnificent architecture.

Looking out the window, the buildings in Dragon Domain are as tall as a kingdom of giants, and in the sky, you can see giant dragons of various colors flying by from time to time.

The dragon stepped directly through the huge window and entered the building.

Golden light descended from the boundless sky, landing on the enormous building, as if it were the abode of a god.

Jiang Xi turned around and saw a huge dragon egg standing on the large bed in the center of the palace. It was several times larger than when it was in her arms, and as tall as her.

Even now, she still feels like she's dreaming.

The palace doors were knocked on, and the beast servants who served the dragons filed in, pushing food carts.

Jiang Xi swallowed hard when she saw the abundant food.

Barbecue, barbecue, barbecue, so much barbecue...

She had never seen so much barbecue in her entire life.

Jiang Xi lived a dream life, with endless new clothes and food every day. All she had to do was stay with the giant dragon egg.

That night, she slept in the same bed as the dragon egg.

In her dream, she seemed to see a golden-eyed beastman who said he was her beast husband and would come to find her as soon as possible.

Jiang Xi woke up, looked at the giant egg next to her, and leaned in to listen carefully to the sounds coming from inside.

Is her beastly husband... inside?

She tilted her head, touched the eggshell, and smiled.

Hello~

My childhood sweetheart, the dragon beast.
