From the woods behind, a Taoist priest emerged, exuding an air of otherworldly grace yet appearing youthful, with a hint of asceticism about him; this was the Great Dragon the little demon had spoken of.
At this moment, Nian Wanzhou was still imitating Nezha's havoc in the sea, playing in the water and shouting, "I am the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, why don't you kneel down before me! I'll drown you all, hahahaha!"
After saying that, he splashed water on the little black snake.
Then he stopped, and with a "whoosh," he hid behind the little black snake. "Uncle Black, a demon is coming!"
The little black snake immediately became alert, looking in the direction of the approaching demon, and suddenly sensed a familiar feeling.
He slid out to greet a Taoist priest: "Venerable Yuheng! What brings you here?"
Seeing the little black snake rush out like a puppy and surround the Taoist priest, Nian Wanzhou was terrified and slowly retreated back into her eggshell.
It's like a socially anxious child who's too afraid to leave their room when guests come over.
Yuheng chuckled and stroked the little black snake's head: "Weren't you about to transform into a dragon? I'll help you. And that... little thing, who is it? Did you pick up another cub??"
That was clearly a small... I couldn't see what it was, a snake?
But there's a familiar sense of belonging.
"Yes, she's a little dragon cub I just met. I don't know whose dragon egg it was, but I felt sorry for her, so I took her with me." The little black snake skillfully coiled around the Taoist priest's wrist, very obediently. "By the way, Venerable One, you are also a dragon. Can you tell who her parents are?"
"Sigh, the little cub is so pitiful. It hatched without any parents to watch over it, and it's quite silly too."
Nian Wanzhou hid inside the eggshell, thinking to herself: Who are you calling stupid? You stinky snake.
"Call her out; I didn't get a good look at her earlier." Yuheng thought he should take a closer look. If she really was one of their kind, he wouldn't mind taking her back to raise.
For thousands of years, the dragon race has never had a newborn. Now, a dragon cub has suddenly appeared, and it has no parents. It seems very strange.
You must understand that newborns are precious treasures to the dragon race, who have difficulty conceiving.
How could it have been abandoned?
Moreover, among the dragons still in the human world... I've never heard of any carrying eggs. Even dragons that form Daoist couples are pitifully few, so where would they get eggs or offspring?
Other dragons would not easily mate with demons of different races to lay eggs, as that would not only confuse their bloodlines but also incur divine punishment.
In ancient times, dragons were cursed; if they mated with other demons, their offspring would destroy the world and become an ominous force.
Therefore, Yuheng did not believe that it was a dragon whose bloodline had been mixed up with that of other demon races.
If that's true, Heaven would destroy her immediately.
"Wanzhou, come out and meet Venerable Yuheng! He's a good person, he won't eat you, hurry up and come out~" The little black snake ran over and dragged Nian Wanzhou out, like a parent forcing a child to come out and meet a guest.
"No, don't pull me!" Nian Wanzhou snatched back her tail, drooping her ears as she slowly crawled out of the egg, introducing herself awkwardly but politely, "Hello, Venerable Yuheng... I am the little white dragon, Nian Wanzhou, hehe."
When Yuheng saw Nian Wanzhou's true form, he gasped. It really was a white dragon!
Although it's still a little dragon cub forcing a smile, it really is a dragon! A rare white dragon! Who on earth would abandon such a precious white dragon in the secret realm!
What if it gets eaten!
"Do you really not remember your parents?" To be absolutely sure, Yuheng still had to ask clearly. If they did have parents, he was afraid that if he really took them away, they would treat him like an egg thief and beat him up.
Nian Wanzhou shook her head. Heaven hadn't told her whether it was true or not; in short, it certainly wasn't.
Just like Sun Wukong, she was a stone formed between heaven and earth, and then she sprang out of the stone and grew into a monkey. Except she was an egg, and eventually she sprang out and became a white dragon.
Yuheng looked troubled. He had come to help the little black snake transform into a dragon, but he hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain.
The little black snake was covered in the aura of the white dragon, which also aided its cultivation. Even without me, the little black snake could successfully transform into a dragon.
Unexpectedly, the White Dragon has this function.
It's like finding a treasure.
Shouldn't we pick it up, no, take it back to the sect?
"Ahem, it's alright. Perhaps when you grow up, you'll be able to find your parents." Yuheng coughed lightly, concealing his joy. "Little Black, you can transform into a dragon now. Let's begin."
The little black snake nodded and entered a gradual state.
He has now experienced the tribulations of humanity and the earth, and is only missing the final tribulation of lightning.
Soon, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and lightning began to flash continuously within them, accompanied by muffled thunder. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning the size of a palm struck the little black snake.
"Ah!" The little black snake cried out in pain, trying to get away, but it held back.
It all happened so suddenly; Nian Wanzhou had never seen anything like it before. Terrified, she hid inside her eggshell, watching. Silently, she prayed for the little black snake to survive!
The lightning tribulation lasted for half an incense stick's time, with a full ten bolts of lightning striking the ground, followed by a torrential downpour.
The lightning surged through the area, threatening to engulf the land. The little black snake roared and leaped into the sky. Lightning continued to strike, and the snake continued its ascent, its form gradually growing larger.
In the end, it transformed into a dragon.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the area within a few dozen meters was completely destroyed. Many trees had turned charred black, and the flooded areas were impossible to walk on.
Nian Wanzhou's eggshell and jade balance were completely unharmed.
Seeing such a breathtaking scene for the first time, Nian Wanzhou was greatly surprised.
Who could have imagined that such a fantastical cultivation story would actually happen before her eyes? It took her a year to barely adjust to becoming a dragon, and then she witnessed the grand spectacle of a dragon transforming into a dragon; it was impossible not to be shocked.
Now she truly believed that she wasn't dreaming; her father really had transmigrated into a book and gone to cultivate immortality!
As the little black snake transformed into a dragon and descended, reverting to its original form, Nian Wanzhou exclaimed, "(⊙o⊙) Wow!"
stunned……
Is this even possible? Why can't she grow bigger? What exactly is this cultivation stuff?
Yuheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. This little white dragon was so adorable and confused. She really wanted to pat her little head.
Ugh, I can't take it anymore!
It's been hundreds of years, almost a thousand years, since I've seen the little dragon cub. My hands are itching to touch it! But I have to maintain my aloof persona; I can't change it.
But the little white dragon never even considered getting close to you!
At this moment, the little white dragon was circling the little black snake with shining eyes, and didn't think of asking the jade-like Venerable one any questions.
The little black snake—no, it should be called a little black dragon—had two adorable little horns, shiny black, standing upright on its head.
