Volume 1 Chapter 276 Kill for You
"Strange, why does it feel so cold?" Before Xiang Yun could observe further, a chill filled his whole body, especially his lower legs.
Xiang Yun quickly lowered his head and almost dropped his jaw in shock. He was actually sitting on a two-meter-wide and long thick ice bed, and the strong cold air was emanating from this ice bed.
Xiang Yun quickly jumped off the ice bed, complaining in his heart: "Which villain wants to harm me? Don't they know that men can't catch cold? If they hurt their kidneys, that would ruin their happiness for the rest of their lives!"
"Benefactor?" Seeing that Xiang Yun ignored her, the dragon girl on the side couldn't help but ask again.
When Xiang Yun heard these delicate words, he couldn't help but think of the important business, and looked over with a smile. After seeing the dragon girl's face and graceful figure clearly, he felt even more relieved.
Xiang Yun walked over and hugged Long Nu without saying a word, put his hands on Long Nu's back and said sincerely: "I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried about you, you know!"
Long Nu was not a fool, so she knew that men and women should not touch each other. She quickly pried Xiang Yun's hand apart, separated from him and kept a certain distance, then asked with an unnatural expression, "Does my benefactor know me?"
Xiang Yun shook his head and said, "I don't know him, what's wrong?"
"Then you just..." The dragon girl was furious and cursed loudly, but halfway through she felt that her attitude should be kinder. After all, the other party risked his life to save her from the dragon-eating eagle, so she said gently: "Since you don't know me, why did you save me that day?"
Now Xiang Yun's mind began to clear up a little, so his eyes were fixed on the dragon girl's huge dragon horns. The dragon horns were crystal clear and as beautiful as ice crystals. When worn on a beautiful woman, they were really attractive.
This dragon girl was definitely the most unique beauty he had ever seen in his life.
The dragon girl felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Benefactor, why did you do that day?"
Xiang Yun's concentration was so high that he recovered after only a short while. After a brief thought, he took out a Jiangshan ink-wash fan from his Xumi Ring and opened it with a "swish". Then he walked to the side and said softly, "I just help those who are in trouble when I see them. I don't need any reason!"
The dragon girl was slightly surprised when she heard this, but she didn't believe it in her heart. After all, he just hugged her and said some unnecessary caring words, so she asked directly: "That is an adult dragon-eating eagle, and its strength is comparable to the peak of the Qianyuan realm. I see that your cultivation is only at the Tengyun realm, even inferior to mine!
That day you knew clearly that you couldn't beat the dragon-eating eagle, but you resolutely stayed to save me, and in the end you almost died; I don't believe you would go this far for someone you've never met. You must have saved me for a reason, can you tell me?"
"Although you are beautiful, I didn't expect that you are actually smart!" Xiang Yun turned around and gave Long Nu a sharp look, then put away the folding fan in his hand and kept tapping it, and continued to say slowly without looking directly at Long Nu: "Your analysis is correct, but you overlooked one point!
I boasted a little bit, I have a kind heart, I hate to see bullies bullying others, I usually like to do things to punish evil and promote good, even if an old man fell into the hands of the dragon-eating eagle that day, I would still help him, whether you believe it or not, I am kind-hearted!"
After saying this, Xiang Yun turned around and met the Dragon Girl's gaze with his profile. Then he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, looking like a great master.
The dragon girl's cheeks turned slightly red, and then she spat softly, "You talk so beautifully, but I don't believe it!"
After that, the dragon girl hesitated for a while and said frankly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. No matter what, you saved my life. I owe you this. I will definitely pay you back when I have the chance!"
Xiang Yun was secretly delighted when he heard this, but he couldn't show his expression. He said righteously, "Today you have saved my life. From now on, we owe each other nothing."
Xiang Yun then looked around in the cave, and after finding the exit, he immediately said, "Let's go, we won't see each other again!"
Xiang Yun walked very decisively, stepping on the five-clawed golden dragon and rushing out, with no intention of stopping at all.
Seeing Xiang Yun's behavior, Long Nu finally felt a little uneasy, and secretly thought: "Could it be that he is really a kind person who likes to do good things without asking for anything in return?"
Seeing Xiang Yun walking further and further away, the Dragon Girl could not help but chase after him and shouted, "Hey, don't leave yet!"
Xiang Yun slowly stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked at Long Nu with a puzzled look, and asked, "What else?"
Seeing Xiang Yun stop, Long Nu stopped involuntarily for the sake of her girlish modesty, and asked with a red face: "Since you are my lifesaver, I still don't know your name?"
"Xiang Yun!"
Xiang Yun said decisively, turned around and prepared to leave again, but the dragon girl quickly called out again: "Hey, don't leave yet!"
Xiang Yun stopped and asked again: "What's the matter?"
The dragon girl said angrily, "Listen carefully, my name is Zhu Jingjing. This is the first time I tell my name to outsiders. You must remember it well."
Xiang Yun was startled when he heard this. His face was calm, but he was ecstatic inside. He shouted madly, "Wahahaha, you naive little girl, now that it has come to this, you can't escape my Five Finger Mountain!"
Xiang Yun in the sky nodded slightly when he heard this, then turned around and continued to fly forward, leaving only two faint words: "Gone!"
"Oh." Zhu Jingjing lowered her head in disappointment, and then raised her head in surprise: "Ah? You still want to leave!"
For some reason, Zhu Jingjing's heart was filled with a strong sense of loss. As a princess of the dragon clan, she had been surrounded by people since she was a child. Even the sisters, brothers and friends of the same age were constantly around her, trying their best to be nice to her, saying many sweet words to make her happy, as if they were holding them in the palm of their hands.
But this Xiang Yun actually wanted to leave me so much!
How could this be? Why didn't he want to stay with me longer?
The more Zhu Jingjing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more curious she became. The next moment, she looked up but could no longer see Xiang Yun. She couldn't help but feel extremely panicked, and hurriedly flew in the direction where Xiang Yun left.
How could Xiang Yun, who had never wanted to let Zhu Jingjing go, fly far? He deliberately slowed down his speed and waited slowly in front. According to his calculations, Zhu Jingjing should have caught up by now.
Xiang Yun, who had been keeping an eye on the exit, immediately increased his speed and pretended to be running away the moment he saw Zhu Jingjing chasing after him.
The flustered Zhu Jingjing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Xiang Yun again, and then she quickly accelerated to catch up with him and asked anxiously, "Xiang Yun, where are you going?"
Xiang Yun did not look back, but replied calmly: "Now that the matter here is over, I will naturally continue to wander around the world and see the prosperity of this world."
"Wow~" After hearing this, Zhu Jingjing couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This person's ideals and aspirations are too wonderful, right? Look at the prosperity of the world. How can he say such elegant words?"
This sentence made Zhu Jingjing feel inferior. She felt that Xiang Yun was so tall and majestic, while she was just a country bumpkin with no ambition.
After a long while, Zhu Jingjing asked again: "Isn't your name Xiang Yun? Why do you keep calling yourself "Zhen"? "
"Oh, well, that's because I'm the emperor of the Dayun Empire, so I'm used to being addressed like that!" Xiang Yun said casually.
"Emperor?" Zhu Jingjing frowned when she heard that. She obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "emperor", but she didn't dare to ask more. After all, she was afraid that Xiang Yun would say that she was uneducated and then not want to play with her anymore.
The two flew very fast and rushed out of the lake in the next moment. Xiang Yun immediately collected the Golden Dragon Energy and transformed into a mortal standing on the ground. Seeing this, Zhu Jingjing followed him and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to wander around the world? Why did you stop?"
Xiang Yun rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "That dragon-eating eagle is still nearby. If you continue to fly in the sky, you're courting death. What? Do you want to be caught by it again?"
When the dragon-eating eagle was mentioned, Zhu Jingjing's face turned pale, and then she moved closer to him involuntarily. She looked up at the sky with some fear, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If the dragon-eating eagle comes again, you will protect me again, right?"
Xiang Yun walked towards the deep forest in the distance and asked calmly, "Why, are you afraid of that giant eagle?"
"That's a dragon-eating eagle, how can I not be afraid!" Zhu Jingjing said unhappily, "Not only am I afraid, all dragons are afraid of dragon-eating eagles; after all, this kind of monster was created specifically to deal with us dragons!"
Zhu Jingjing said to herself: "Any power of our dragon clan will be weakened by about 50% when it hits the dragon-eating eagle. In addition, the dragon-eating eagle has a strong natural defense and sharp claws, so it is easy for it to catch our dragon clan in the air. Moreover, their sharp claws and eagle beaks can easily break through the dragon scale defense that we are proud of, and then devour our flesh and blood.
Therefore, the dragon-eating eagle is the natural enemy of our dragon race. Whenever we see it, we will avoid it and may even never come back to this area again in our lifetime."
Then Zhu Jingjing said with an aggrieved expression and tone: "This dragon-eating eagle actually knows the location of our dragon clan's dragon gate and is guarding here. I guess all the brothers and sisters who have left the clan over the years have suffered from the dragon-eating eagle's poisonous hands!
If you hadn’t saved me that day, I would be dead now.”
Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this, and remembered that he saw those dragon bones in the dragon-eating eagle's stomach. Thinking this way, this dragon-eating eagle must have eaten quite a few dragons!
Zhu Jingjing at the back was getting more and more aggrieved and looked like she was about to cry. Xiang Yun thought for a moment and said calmly, "Since you are so afraid of it, I will think of a way to kill it for you."
"Ah?" Zhu Jingjing was delighted when she heard that, but she became depressed the next moment. She smiled and said, "The dragon-eating eagle is so powerful that you can't possibly defeat it. But it's enough that you have this intention. I'm very happy to hear you say that. Thank you."
Xiang Yun stopped when he heard that, then turned around and looked directly at Zhu Jingjing, then raised his hands and tightly grasped her fair shoulders. In the face of Zhu Jingjing's slightly panicked expression, he said sincerely: "I will keep my word and kill the dragon-eating eagle for you!"
