Bang!
"Yi Hua!"
Lin Xiao was stunned by the sudden attack that Princess Lan Yi Hua launched at him but he couldn't care about the pain on his back right now. Looking back, he could see that Princess Lan Yi Hua was still fine but she was staggering with her twin swords blocking the attack.
He swiftly turned around then dived into the lake while shouting, "LIN HU, YOU BETTER COME OUT NOW!"
Splash!
The sudden pressure startled both people while Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief. He had thought that he would die in this annoying place, but now it didn't seem to be that way.
Lin Hu got out and roared loudly. Afterwards, it pounced towards the large Molten Black Snake as the two beasts engaged in a fierce fight. The two sides were unwilling to back down.
"Yi Hua, come here!"
Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded and rushed to the lake. She immediately jumped inside while watching the two beasts roaring and hissing to each other before their large body clashed in a fierce battle.
"How come there's a dragon in this small lake?"
Lin Xiao's lips twitched. He didn't know how to explain it to her. Should he tell her that the dragon was actually his? However, it would immediately reveal that he had already obtained Emperor's Inheritance and thus, he was qualified to become the Emperor.
Bang!
The fierce fight didn't last long. Despite being a rank lower, the dragon was known superior in many ways and the large Molten Black Snake rolled away in fear. Lin Hu kept on roaring until the Molten Black Snake ran several kilometers away and would not return back.
"Why don't you kill him?" Lin Xiao protested.
"He's too strong. If you want me to kill him, you should rank up first, Little Brat." Lin Hu didn't care whether his words hurt Lin Xiao or not as he went down and changed his body size to the small one. He nodded towards Princess Lan Yi Hua, who was staring at him with complicated gaze.
"Lin Xiao."
"Yes?"
Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw Princess Lan Yi Hua put her hands beside his head. He could see her expression very clearly and it would be a lie if he didn't say that he was tempted to kiss her right now. However, he sensed that her hand was slowly opening his headband.
He smiled bitterly and let her do as she wished.
The headband was removed and Princess Lan Yi Hua could see the mark on Lin Xiao's forehead. Looking at that familiar mark that was painted so beautifully in many books, Princess Lan Yi Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
To think that she would have a chance to see the legendary mark.
And the mark was on the forehead of the man who had been chasing after her for some time.
"Emperor Lin Xiao," Princess Lan Yi Hua muttered.
Lin Xiao patted her head and shook his head. "Even though I have the mark, I'm not officially the Emperor yet until I sat on that seat."
The princess let him patted her head as she looked at the headband. Previously, she thought that he liked to wear this because it was cool and so on. But looking at the mark on his forehead, she knew that he was keeping a low profile too.
Once they knew he would be the future Emperor, many of them might not be able to stay quiet anymore.
"You should wear this again."
Princess Lan Yi Hua put the headband back and sighed. Looking at the complicated gaze on her face, Lin Xiao was stunned. "Is there anything wrong?"
"You're going to be so high above. It wouldn't be easy for me to stand beside you," Princess Lan Yi Hua murmured then realized what she just said. Her cheek turned red as she looked away in embarrassment.
Lin Xiao was stunned but then he beamed. To think that she actually wanted to stand side by side with him. He didn't really mind if she was weaker because he would protect her, but if she wanted to stay by his side, he would also be happy.
"We could train more and I'm sure you wouldn't lose against me."
"Uhh."
Princess Lan Yi Hua had heard so many things about the Emperor's Inheritance that she felt that Lin Xiao would be going so far away from her grasp.
"Hey, how long do you want me to watch you flirting?" Lin Hu asked in annoyance.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "I'm just talking with her!"
"Tsk, if you're that worried about Emperor's Inheritance, it's just an inheritance that's useful to change your physique and increase your talent. Your woman's talent is as good as you and the only difference is that her training so far is not up to par because of lack of resources." Lin Hu felt annoyed.
Princess Lan Yi Hua was stunned. She looked at Lin Xiao. "is that true?"
"Yea. When I got the inheritance, it's just giving me pain and change my talent. There's no treasure that can make you directly get stronger or anything, so I'm just slightly better with this useless dragon at my side."
"Useless! You ungrateful bastard!"
"If you're not useless, try to appear more and not just when I'm inside a lake! You're just putting my life in danger!"
"That's the rule for Lake Dragon!"
"So, you're useless outside the lake and how many lakes are there in this world?!"
Hearing that, Lin Hu had no grounds to retort again. He snorted and then looked away from the two of them, feeling annoyed.
Princess Lan Yi Hua giggled when she listened to their conversation. Her face when she looked at Lin Xiao was now filled with smile. "There's a place that I must visit in the future. If I want to stand by your side, it means that I need to get the Phoenix Inheritance."
