From the moment he became conscious, Shen Zhuochuan was fighting with his own kind.
Later, he traveled alone and met many different kinds of people.
He observed the joys, anger, and delusion of the world and still felt that fighting was the greatest pleasure in the world, while other joys, sorrows, and angers were meaningless.
Therefore, Shen Zhuochuan, this proud dragon, never imagined that he would fall in love at first sight.
Their first encounter was when they were both drawn into a secret realm.
The two met in the pitch-black cave. The woman was carrying a lamp, the light of which made her face shine.
Perhaps... it's not the lamp's fault. She stood there gracefully, her voice clear and melodious as she said to him: "Fellow Daoist, this cave is pitch black. Shall we travel together?"
Shen Zhuochuan treated all cultivators equally, regardless of gender or whether they were human or demon. He proudly raised his dragon head, exuding nobility and righteousness as he slightly nodded.
But the cave was narrow, and seeing her childlike cultivation level and frail figure, he worried that the sharp rocks on the cave walls might injure her.
At that moment, the handsome young man, Xiao Bailong, glanced at her arrogantly and raised an eyebrow in response, feigning modesty.
He then consciously walked ahead, taking the initiative to resolve any dangers without harming her in the slightest.
Song Tingwan was more lively back then than she was later. She saw him as upright and honest, but he was very guarded. She only took out first or second-grade pills and pretended to be embarrassed when she said them to him.
—I'm sorry, my cultivation level is low and the pills I refined aren't very good. I hope you won't mind.
For the most talented young dragons in the dragon race, none of the pills in Shen Zhuochuan's possession were below the fifth grade.
But seeing the woman's gentle, timid expression, he couldn't bear to refuse.
Meanwhile, Song Tingwan chuckled as she watched his conflicted expression, her lowered eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
In his eyes, she mistakenly thought that she was afraid of being rejected by him.
But Shen Zhuochuan wasn't that foolish.
Two or three days later, they were still wandering around in that cave, trapped there. The woman, however, was not worried at all, and even had the leisure to keep taking out delicious pastries from her storage ring.
Moreover, the pastries were rich in spiritual energy, and their taste was even better than anything he had ever eaten before.
Besides, she remained calm and composed the rest of the time, except when she was deliberately teasing him.
When searching for the exit together, she was clear and articulate, completely unlike her pitiful appearance.
Even though... her health was really bad.
They fear the cold wind and are afraid of the scorching sun.
It always makes people slow down and drape a cloak with a warming spell over her.
Each time they sat down at a resting place, the two would initially sit defensively at the farthest point, then slowly move closer together.
Later, they sat around the fire, eating the grilled fish he had taken out from his spatial storage, as well as the fragrant pastries from her storage ring.
The two naturally became friends.
He couldn't contain his curiosity any longer, "Why did you carry a storage ring full of pastries with you when you went out, fellow Daoist?"
Song Tingwan smiled and slightly raised her chin, saying, "The uncles and aunts in the clan knew that I was going out to travel, so they made this especially for me."
She seems to be a favored girl in the clan.
Later, they were trapped in the cave for a month.
Shen Zuichuan usually doesn't like to laugh.
But every time I meet her clear, smiling eyes, I subconsciously soften my tone, and eventually I can smile gently as if it's normal.
Finally, on this day, they found a way to break through. The secret realm stirred, and the two of them finally arrived in front of the treasure of this secret realm.
The stalactites hanging on the cave rocks glittered, and a rich spiritual energy that uplifted the spirit filled the small space.
But then a strange phenomenon occurred.
A python, the same color as the rock wall, opened its blood-red maw from the hovering sky, about to swallow Song Tingwan whole.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Shen Zhuochuan thrust out his spear, piercing straight through the giant python's mouth.
As the giant python's mouth was firmly gripped by the spear, a spirit jade tablet was flung out and swallowed into the python's belly through its gaping maw.
A world-destroying force belonging to the Mahayana stage exploded.
The cave was too small. When he sensed something was wrong, Shen Zhuochuan instinctively ran over and shielded her between himself and the rock wall.
But the death of the giant python wasn't enough; countless snakes emerged from the explosion.
The dense, countless dots made my scalp tingle.
The woman looked at the bloody wounds that Shen Zhuochuan had inflicted while protecting her, and was still pondering how to deal with them when Shen Zhuochuan suddenly pulled her to the middle of the cave. The beautiful and delicate woman frowned, puzzled.
The next instant, the person holding her hand suddenly transformed into a white dragon before her eyes, letting out a long roar, and all living beings scattered.
The dragon had a majestic appearance, and its scales emitted a dazzling white light as it swam.
The woman looked up, staring blankly at the handsome white dragon above the cave.
I wonder if other dragons are as handsome as his.
But she knew that when she saw the prototype of this white dragon, she was both shocked and amazed.
Then Shen Zhuochuan transformed into human form and calmly walked towards her.
"It's alright now."
This time, the woman smiled and handed over a seventh-grade pill.
"...It was given to me by the elders of my clan. I thank you for saving my life."
If he hadn't used his spear to control the giant python's mouth, she wouldn't have had time to throw out her spirit jade tablet before she could react.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the giant python, other dangerous hidden weapons also attacked.
Some people want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
The human heart can be more terrifying than a demon beast. At that time, Song Tingwan, whose cultivation level was practically zero, quickly hid and watched as Shen Zhuochuan fought fiercely with his opponent.
What I didn't expect was that the stalactites were so alluring, one wave after another.
As Shen Zhuochuan's injuries continued to worsen, when Song Tingwan warned him to be careful of the right side, he thrust his pistol in the opposite direction, killing the man with his spear.
He then conveniently dealt with the enemy who was heading towards Song Tingwan.
