Chapter 94 [Limited Time Dungeon] Collecting the Price...
Lu Qi's hair was not very long, and the messy white hair was covered with water droplets, sticking softly to his back.
The dragon brushed aside her long hair. It was hard to imagine that a terrifying weapon could perform such a delicate movement, allowing the beautiful long hair to rest on the crook of his claws without hurting her at all.
The white waterfall was lifted up, revealing her tail vertebrae covered with scars. Even if she healed herself, it would be difficult to remove the scars left by herself.
She was cruel enough to herself, and from the marks one could tell that the tail was not cut off in one go. When she was tearing her body apart, she obviously knew what she was doing, so she continued to push hard after failing.
The Immortal Dragon gently rubbed her wound.
Even if the lost flesh and blood can continue to grow back, it will leave traces of the "break".
Especially now, she has lost her tail, her dragon horns, and even the source of her power is no longer within her body. There seems to be no other way except to create a body for her.
This was not a difficult task for the Immortal Dragon, but he was still very angry.
The giant dragon that had pressed its offspring against the water mirror with its claws dissipated like a firefly, and its rarely used prototype appeared in its place. The human-shaped dragon ancestor loosened his hand and snorted coldly behind her.
"You've put yourself in such a state of embarrassment," the immortal dragon said unhappily. "The life and death of a dragonborn is determined by fate. What business has it of yours?"
Lu Qi climbed up, her messy long hair falling from her back, and her exposed skin could be seen in the gaps. Her graceful butterfly bones had obvious indentations as she moved.
"I can't just watch him die..." Lu Qi muttered.
She had clearly stood up, but she was unwilling to turn around to face Him. The Immortal Dragon frowned, and its slender finger bones fell on Lu Qi's shoulder.
"Turn back."
This simple action made the kid reject it like crazy, and he even squatted down with his arms crossed over his chest subconsciously.
"No!" the rebellious kid shouted vigorously, "It's all your fault! You ruined my clothes!"
"I've seen every part of you...but now you think I'm in the way?"
The Immortal Dragon spoke with dissatisfaction, but still followed the boy's words, took off his coat, and covered Lu Qi's head with it.
The loose clothes were finally able to cover her whole body, and the little girl was willing to turn around, revealing her round golden vertical pupils.
"When it's just born... can you, can you say you can see the naked body?" Lu Qi retorted stubbornly.
Why not just forget it?
Seeing her angry and embarrassed look, the Immortal Dragon did not continue to dwell on the trivial matter, but looked down at this troublesome little brat condescendingly.
She was young, acted out of the ordinary, was bold and disobedient. Only because her appearance pleased him would he suddenly decide to transform her into a Dragonborn.
At this point, the Immortal Dragon has forgotten what his original mood was like, but it is still similar to what it is now.
If any other dragonborn did such a thing, He wouldn't care no matter what, but this person was her. When facing her, the Immortal Dragon always has endless patience.
What else can I do? I can only pamper the offspring I chose myself.
The Immortal Dragon reached out and held down her head.
The head, so small that it could be held in one hand, shook in his palm. He could even feel her warm breath, gently touching his skin.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qi said angrily. "We haven't seen each other for so long, and you come up here and want to hit the child?"
The hand covering her head slid down, covering half of her face. The extended fingertips could even fiddle with her snow-white eyelashes, causing her to blink frantically.
"Who is the Dragonborn you saved?" The Dragon Ancestor pressed his fingers on Lu Qi's eyelids with a little force and calmly asked the Dragonborn who made Lu Qi pay such a price.
He remembered that the little cub came from the future and appeared twice for him, so it naturally belonged to him.
Even His true offspring would not have the same weight as hers.
The two cannot be compared.
She should be the one being pampered.
The Dragonborn can use His power herself, what kind of dragon would be so useless as to use her flesh and blood to resurrect itself?
"..." Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, she looked up at the Immortal Dragon's authoritative face, only needing to look at it for a few more seconds to remember Dan Feng who was still lying in the follicle, waiting for the fusion of power and memory.
"say."
"Meow." Lu Qi meowed.
The Immortal Dragon didn't buy it. The Dragon Ancestor narrowed his eyes cruelly, exerted a little force with his knuckles, and the fingers pressing on her face left a clear red mark.
"Don't try to fool me," the Immortal Dragon threatened, "or I will go to the Star God to extract your memories."
"What, how come you know Fu Li?!"
"It's normal for Star Gods to know each other," Long Zu replied casually, "but which Star God is Fu Li?"
...Oh, at this point in time, the Memory Star God Fu Li doesn't seem to exist yet.
That's right, the Immortal Dragon had taken her to meet several Star Gods, and she even tried to ask them for a gift... That was also the first time Lu Qi had met a Star God so directly, and no one would believe it if she told them.
"The power in your body is a little too mixed."
“…Eh.”
Everything is seen through, what's the point of struggling?
Lu Qi could only tell his old father the truth in bits and pieces with tears in his eyes.
It's not that the truth cannot be told, but the Star Gods may not be able to understand most of the emotions between humans.
Although the Immortal Dragon seemed very human, Lu Qi knew that this was because she was "spoiled". He would not understand what others meant to Lu Qi and would only think that she was doing something strange.
"And..." Lu Qi added cunningly after he finished speaking, "Dan Feng looks very similar to you."
As expected, the Immortal Dragon fell silent.
The art of language should be like this. Even if it cannot distort right and wrong, it can at least allow the truth to deviate to a certain extent.
Lu Qi's words were very instructive. The Immortal Dragon might not fail to see it, but he would still be moved by it.
Because this is the only fact in the whole matter that has anything to do with Him.
"You mistook him for me?" the Immortal Dragon said abruptly. "It seems I didn't exist in your time... humph."
Lu Qi: “…”
Lu Qi: “???”
She never said anything of the sort in her description, but the clever Dragon Ancestor deduced the ending from the clues.
However, the Immortal Dragon only said one sentence and didn't care about this topic. He released his hand that was pressing on Lu Qi's face, and looked at her disdainfully with the face that looked like Dan Feng.
"Bring something in exchange," the Immortal Dragon said. "My scales and strength are extraordinary. Once, I will show mercy. A second time, I will demand a price."
The topic jumped around quite a bit, and Lu Qi was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
The Dragon Ancestor wanted to reshape her body.
That handsome face showed a cold and ruthless expression, but even so, Lu Qi still felt friendly.
Dragon Ancestor has always been like this, hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
The little dragon quickly pounced on him and acted coquettishly in his arms.
"Everything I have is given by you," Xiaolong said sadly, "Take whatever you want. I can give you anything."
Slippery little bastard.
She really had nothing, and the power that belonged to Him was pitifully small. Even the clothes she wore could only belong to Him.
The little dragon's entire body was stained with His aura. His little face, hidden under the wide sleeves, was wide open pitifully. His vertical pupils, which should have been majestic, were weakly dilated and looked watery.
He doesn't look like a noble and arrogant dragonborn at all.
Still a little guy who hasn't grown up yet.
The Immortal Dragon sighed helplessly.
There are two completely different ways to heal Lu Qi's tattered body.
One is to wait until she sheds her scales and is reborn, and then infuse his power into her while she is still an ovary, allowing his power to merge with her again.
This way, she can be reborn in the follicle and break out of the shell again without feeling any pain.
However, the rebirth of the Dragonborn will erase his memory. Even if he can "see" his past in a dream, he is not the same Lu Qi after all.
There is another method, which is the simplest and most brutal.
That was to break open her chest again, and simply and roughly stuff the dragon ball condensed from his power into it. After a painful fusion, it would be used by her again.
The pain in the process may not be simpler than if she cut out her own heart and tail. With Him watching, the pain will be reduced, but it will not disappear completely.
The Immortal Dragon hesitated which method to use.
It might take a long time for her to be reborn. Her frail body was only relatively weak, not shattered at the slightest touch.
Even the immortal dragon couldn't tell the length of her life.
Perhaps in a few thousand years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years? Or even longer—the Immortal Dragon didn't think he would be by her side for such a long time.
Wasn't the last time he abandoned her the best proof that His patience could only last for a thousand years?
But the second one...
The finger bones slid down and stopped at the position of the heart.
Lu Qi leaned back because of his actions. She seemed not to understand what was about to happen. She still maintained a pitiful expression, her eyes full of trust in the Immortal Dragon.
The kid has great trust in his elders, so what's the problem?
The long white hair, which was almost the same color, was tangled together and mixed together and fell on her and His bodies.
The thin clothes could not stop Him from sliding down.
The body beneath his palm had grown considerably since the beginning. To the Immortal Dragon, she still looked immature. Whether it was her aura, her strength, or her behavior, it all betrayed her youth.
In order to minimize her pain during the fusion process, relying on her body's self-healing ability was not enough. Those things could not numb her from the pain, but would make her feel more clearly what it meant to tear and heal.
Then, there is only one way to make her feel comfortable.
The immortal destiny has the ability to heal, and his descendants also contain this power.
Now only one tenth of Lu Qi's immortal power remains, scattered on her tendons and veins. She needs to use enough immortal power to connect the veins and revitalize them.
Dragon's body fluids have healing powers.
There is only one possibility for me to be able to have contact with her body fluids for a long time and kiss her when it is not convenient to go out.
The slid finger bones moved gently, and the five fingers opened and grasped her waist.
The slender waist would almost break with a pinch, and it was as fragile as the white clouds in the sky. When the dragon's body wandered among the clouds, the wind it brought with it could scatter it.
Next, He needs to use very careful and precise force to avoid a second accident during the next "fusion".
"The price I will demand," Long Zu said slowly after careful consideration, "will be repaid with this body."

The author has something to say: Fix the Fu Li part.
Although I don't know when Fu Li was born, I will just pretend that he is not here now.
