Chapter 1165 “Another Miracle (8)”
“Let go of you?” Dragon Flame sneered at the boy using his smirk, “If I let you go now then how am I supposed to break the contract with her if you’re in danger?”
Actually, he could also forcibly shatter the bond between himself and Bai Yan if he grows strong enough, but such forceful measures required strength and time, something he doesn’t want to wait for. It’s easier to simply have the woman do it of her own free will.
After hearing that comment, the boy stopped struggling and turned back to stare at the old goat. As a result of this, Dragony Flame found himself creeped out by the kid’s gaze, especially that single red eye of his.
Gulping insecurely: “What are you trying to do? I warn you, you’re not my opponent! If we start fighting then you’re not going to get off easy.”
The boy’s expression remains icy cold during that threat, totally different from his innocent and cute appearance. “My mother said you’re proof that she is alive, right?”
Slowly but surely, the old goat nodded: “Yes, she did say that.”
“Fine, you’re not allowed to leave my side at all from now on, I want to know at all times if she is safe or not.” There’s no warmth in that statement, only cold threatening indifference in the boy’s voice.
Turning back to the little missy, he speaks with a warmer note: “Dragony, let’s go, I believe Mother will be alright even if we’re not by her side!”
The girl nodded: “I know that Gege, I know Mother will be just fine even without us.”
“Mmm.” Stirring up a smile at the support, the boy’s lip curves into a thin arc over the agreement.
Right this moment, the party could clearly feel the ground beneath their feet lifting up into the air as their conversation dragged out. Faster and faster, the dark forest of the underground valley disappeared behind them until they moved at incredible speed, then pop…. They felt it, the light shining above their heads and the open landscape of the world coming into view.
“Hahaha!” Dragon Flame was the first to cry out with glee in his voice. Watching the open blue sky, this old goat became ecstatic in his demeanor. “I’m finally free of that wretched place. What beautiful sky, what beautiful clouds! I, Dragon God, am finally free! No wait…” Shaking his goat head, “I am
But that day won’t be too long….
Half Qing Sing was also staring up into the sky, but unlike the old goat’s happy elation, her eyes were more of curiosity.
“Oomph!” Making a dry cough, Dragon Flame turns back to the snake and asked after noticing the oddity: “Oh yeah, I haven’t asked yet, how did you wind up down there in the first place?”
Musing for a while, Half Qing Sing decides to give the truth since she saw no harm in it. “I don’t know, from what I can remember I have always been there in the first place. This world here though, I think this is my first time seeing all of this.”
“Don’t think?” The old goat captured that word like a bee to the honey. “Seen or not seen, which is it? Don’t go spouting such vague answers.”
The snake didn’t want to argue with the old goat on the subject and huffs a grunt: “What else do you want from me? I can’t remember a lot of things aside from the time I spent in that underground world so deal with it.”
It couldn’t be helped. These old mates have had a longstanding grudge, if not for Bai Yan’s intervention then they would’ve already gone at each other’s throat after that exchange of verbal abuse.
While the pair bickers away to one side, Bai Xiachen remains silent on where he stood, only staring off like he’s in some sort of pain due to loneliness.
