Qian’er stared at the white dragon in a daze. Something flashed in her head, so fast that she couldn’t catch it.
“Princess, I’ve been looking for you for over a hundred years, and I’ve finally found you. The dragon race is gone… It was wiped out overnight a hundred years ago. The Dragon King… and the Dragon Queen have already…”
The white dragon spoke sorrowfully about the tragedy of the dragon race.
Tears rolled down Qian’er’s face. She asked subconsciously, “Do… do you really know me?”
“Princess, you’re the most noble princess of the dragon race. How can I not recognize you? I knew it was you the moment you drew close. There’s a seal on you, so you don’t remember what happened. You’ll know everything once the seal is lifted.”
Qian’er asked in confusion, “Then do you know how to lift the seal?”
“The slave mark on you is your seal. Of course, the Dragon King and the slave mark flute have an agreement. If you want to lift it, you can show the flute the contract, and it will lift the seal.”
Qian’er’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Really? I can undo the slave mark?”
She thought that what she longed for would never happen, but it turned out to be so simple.
“Of course you can. My princess, humans can’t trap you. My princess, you’re a princess of the dragon race. How noble and sacred you are.”
The old minister was sad as he spoke. The dragon race had been so glorious back then that any human who saw them had to kowtow to them as if they were precious treasures.
Now, most of their descendants were imprisoned by humans and were willing to be raised by them.
“Then… do you know where the contract is?” Qian’er didn’t know anything about being noble and sacred; she had been raised as a slave.
She had nothing to do with these concepts at all.
“The contract is with me. I’ve been hiding all these years and looking for you, to lift your seal and save the dragons.”
The old minister was truly teary-eyed. He had finally found the princess after a hundred years.
“Ah, to save the dragons? Weren’t the dragons destroyed?” Qian’er suddenly felt that the mountain was huge. She had to save the dragons?
Could she do it?
“Although the dragon race was wiped out, the dragon descendants are still around. They scattered and fled in order to preserve the dragon race. Only you have the power to gather them. Of course… the Dragon King and Queen knew that when Heavenly Palace Cliff changed masters, the dragon race would face a great disaster in the future. You were still at an innocent age, and they didn’t want you to suffer. They wanted to protect you even more, so they sealed your power and turned you into an ordinary person.
“Not long after you were sent away, the dragon race faced the greatest disaster. Heavenly Palace Cliff destroyed the dragon race and killed the Dragon King and Queen and the dragons who weren’t willing to submit. However, many cowards submitted to them. This golden dragon here is a cowardly dragon of low status. They work for Heavenly Palace Cliff. Heavenly Palace Cliff uses them to control and confuse humans, giving them nonsense to spout and to replace the instructions of whatever god. In fact, Heavenly Palace Cliff is just using them to control the human world.”
Qian’er was confused. “Is Heavenly Palace Cliff our enemy?”
“Princess, Heavenly Palace Cliff is the heavens. Heavenly Palace Cliff is no longer the same after the Heavenly Emperor changed. They also stole our dragon race’s Holy Soaring Painting. Princess, you have to take it back.”
Qian’er bit her lip. She had to save the dragons and go to the heavenly palace to take back the Holy Soaring Painting. This…
