Her whole body was soft, like a handful of snowflakes gently held in the palm of your hand. You dared not relax your grip too easily, for fear that she would melt away; yet you dared not hold her too tightly, for fear that you would crush her and destroy this beauty.
It feels like walking on a tightrope, requiring you to be careful and cherish it.
It contrasts with his cold, hard armor plates.
Her fragrant and soft body pressed tightly against him, giving him an urge to devour her whole. The blood in his veins surged violently, wanting to break free from some kind of restraint.
He retracted his sharp teeth and claws, as if afraid of scratching her delicate skin.
She rode on the back of the golden dragon, clinging to its thick horns with her soft, boneless little hands; or nestled in its arms, stroking its chin.
He hoped that time would just flow by like this.
But things didn't go as planned.
Stolen goods always carry some hidden dangers.
The red dragon has arrived.
Within those silky, smooth red auspicious clouds, a lithe and powerful dragon is emerging.
His figure shone with a dazzling light, like a magnificent sunset, as if he had traveled from the distant horizon.
As it dances, the surrounding clouds churn and surge, creating a magnificent spectacle.
His eyes were wide open, like two gleaming bronze bells, radiating a chilling light. Low, hoarse roars echoed from his throat. His long beard stood on end, revealing his extreme anger and discontent. Moreover, every scale on his body trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing resonance, seemingly echoing the rage within him.
All of this indicates that he was so angry that he could no longer control himself and was in a state of extreme agitation.
He was furious.
Who could understand his feelings when he happily carried that nine-eared rice stalk back to his cave?
He had hoped to earn her admiration and praise, but when he searched the entire cave but couldn't find even a trace of the Five-Colored Stone, the sense of disappointment in his heart was indescribable!
The feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom of a valley stunned the entire dragon, as if time had stopped flowing. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the empty space where the five-colored stones had once stood.
He was still tightly biting the nine-eared rice stalk in his mouth, momentarily at a loss.
Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be an exaggeration!
He searched his territory thoroughly, turning it upside down and disturbing the peace of all the creatures within.
He later inquired throughout the four seas and eight wastelands and learned that another dragon had stolen his treasure!
He arrived almost immediately.
He burst out of the clouds, and although he had never seen the Five-Colored Stone in human form before, he recognized her at a glance.
The girl's fair and jade-like skin was even brighter and more radiant than the moonlight. Her long, jet-black hair, like a waterfall, was casually draped over her body, with a cluster of osmanthus flowers tucked behind her ear, emanating a faint fragrance of osmanthus.
She was gently manipulating the thick whiskers of the golden dragon with her delicate hands, sometimes wrapping them around her slender wrists, and sometimes letting them hang down naturally.
The mighty golden dragon, however, was now like a docile big cat, lying there quietly with its eyes closed, letting the girl play with its whiskers, only occasionally swaying its huge tail, making a "slap slap" sound as it hit the ground.
As if by telepathy, the girl looked up and gazed at him from afar.
He saw that her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were actually radiating a five-colored light!
She was filled with unexpected surprise.
He was about to let out a low growl to call her when the girl instantly looked toward the golden dragon.
His burning passion instantly cooled down.
She didn't do it on purpose; she just wanted to see how the dragon beside her would react when she met Gu Long.
Jinlong, who was beside her, also sensed the ill intentions of the newcomer.
With a flick of his long tail, the girl was placed on his enormous head.
The two dragons faced off, roaring incessantly.
The red dragon spoke first, "Give me back my treasure!"
"Yours?" Jinlong scoffed. "What proof do you have that it's yours? I found it, so it's mine!"
Who would find something they picked up and end up in someone else's house?
Red Dragon roared, "Evidence? Of course I have it!"
Aren't the three drops of her heart's blood inside her the best evidence against him?
Seeing the Red Dragon so calm and composed, the Golden Dragon realized that the other party definitely had strong evidence.
“I offered three drops of my heart’s blood to the Five-Colored Stone, which gave her sentience. Isn’t that proof enough?”
Upon hearing this, Jinlong began to grind his teeth.
"So hurry up and give it back to me!" The red dragon spewed out a wave of heat.
“But I gave birth to her in human form, I created her, so she still belongs to me! Besides, it was your own fault for not taking good care of her, so she is naturally mine now!”
Jinlong was not willing to be outdone.
Neither of the two dragons would give way to the other, and the tension between them was more taut than a bowstring, with war about to break out.
Red Dragon shifts battlefield.
"Little Stone, I was the first one to arrive, and I'm letting you experience this world first. Come back to my side!"
Unlike the tense atmosphere just now, he spoke to her gently.
In his eyes, she was obviously more delicate than a stone in her human form; if he spoke a little louder, it seemed as if he could blow her away.
Before the girl could react, Jinlong objected.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Little Stone. It was I who enabled you to move freely, which is obviously a greater contribution than his. Besides, you're happy being with me, aren't you?"
He knows that trick too.
The girl rode on the head of the golden dragon, nervously tugging at its golden mane.
She didn't know what to do about the situation she was facing.
Both dragons shaped her; she is who she is today because of them, and each one is indispensable.
Why argue and fight? If everyone could live in peace...
She thought this way and intended to make the suggestion, but before she could even speak, the two dragons had already made their decision.
"Since neither of us is willing to concede, let's have a fight! Let's settle this in our own way!"
That's exactly what I was thinking!
The girl was put down by the golden dragon and placed in a place that was not far from them but was absolutely safe.
"Sweetie, sit here for a bit and don't wander off. We'll come pick you up soon after we've taken care of things."
The golden dragon gently stroked her hair with the tip of its tail.
Upon seeing this, the red dragon growled in dissatisfaction.
"etc……"
She had already witnessed fighting, and it could lead to injury and bloodshed; she didn't want that to happen.
Both of them are the most important people to her, and she doesn't want either of them to get hurt.
"It's alright, I'm the strongest. After I drive away that wretched red dragon, I'll take you to Huaijiang Mountain, where you'll finally see Yingzhao, the horse-bodied, bird-winged creature we've been longing to meet," he comforted her.
Red Dragon immediately replied, "I've brought back the Nine-Eared Rice you mentioned wanting. It's in our cave. I'll take you back to see it after I win the battle."
Neither of the two dragons would give way to the other.
Dragons, being apex predators, are exceptionally ferocious when they fight. This is especially true when two dragons are both enraged and want to kill each other.
In an instant, the world changed color, and the wind and clouds churned.
Two colossal dragons swirled and intertwined in the air, attacking each other with their sharp claws and fangs. Each collision triggered a deafening roar, and the surrounding air crackled with dazzling lightning due to the intense friction.
One of them is draped in crimson and purple clouds, controlling all the phenomena of the world; the other exudes a rich vitality, holding sway over all the plants and living things on earth.
Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, with lightning and thunder!
The dragon that controlled the weather spewed a thick tongue of fire from its mouth, tearing through the sky like a sword. Immediately afterward, a fierce wind arose, sand and stones flew, and the world was plunged into darkness, as if the end of the world had arrived. At the same time, another dragon roared, unleashing a yellow whirlwind that uprooted everything in its path, the raging storm making it impossible to stand.
Chaos ensued all around.
The other smaller creatures were terrified and fled in all directions, trying to find a safe place. However, they seemed so insignificant in the face of these two powerful forces.
She hid in the small cave, watching the wind blow and the rain fall outside.
All the creatures around had fled; no one wanted to be cannon fodder in the fight between the two dragons.
