“A human?”
He immediately scoffed icily, “Ling’er, take a good look, Lan Ge’s companions are human. He must be using the humans’ power to destroy the Dragon Clan!”
Previously, Long Yan had refused to recognize Lan Ge but he was now putting the attention on Lan Ge’s half-dragon bloodline. The implication behind his words was very clear.
Besides, the Dragon Clan has always hated humans.
If it had not been for the human’s immense cruelty, they would never have needed to hide in the vast North Sea.
Wham!
Gu Ruoyun simply flung her hand and sent Long Yan flying out of the way. She stared at the ugly look on the young man’s face as she calmly remarked, “Lan Ge is one of my own. I’ll not allow you to touch him!”
The woman’s voice was filled with dominance and Lan Ge could not help but stiffen. His once sorrowful eyes showed signs of change.
“Lan Ge, remember this.” Gu Ruoyun seemed to sense the sorrow in Lan Ge’s heart as her voice calmly rang out. “Whether you’re a demibeast human or any other thing, no one can look down on you. Only you can look down upon yourself! No matter what anyone else says, you can’t allow their words affect your emotion. Do you have any idea how much danger you were in?”
Land Ge’s identity as a demibeast human has always been his shame. Hence, he had plunged into a deep sadness when he heard Long Yan’s words until he failed to notice his opponent’s incoming attack.
Gu Ruoyun was right. The earlier situation was indeed very dangerous for Lan Ge.
If Long Yan had intended to kill Lan Ge, he would be in danger if Gu Ruoyun had not been with him.
“I understand.”
He lifted his head as a sense of resolution appeared on his fair features.
Not only does he need to protect himself now, he also neede to protect Gu Ruoyun. Hence, no matter what happened, he could not let anyone affect him this way again.
“Long Yan, so what if I’m a demibeast human?” Lan Ge laughed icily as he turned his gaze upon Long Yan. “Even though I’m a demibeast human, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m the son of the Dragon Clan’s Princess! Lady Gu may be a human but she has helped me far too many times! She’s my benefactor and is the person that I wish to follow for the rest of my life. I won’t let anyone sully her reputation!”
“All these years, I’ve met cruel humans and I’ve also met kind humans. Of course, there are also humans like Lady Gu who are neither good nor evil. The human race can be divided in a multitude of ways so why must you think that all humans are forever the same?”
Lan Ge stared coldly at Long Yan as he spoke slowly.
In Lan Ge’s heart, Gu Ruoyun was not a kind and good person. Even though this woman has helped him many times, he understood that he would never have helped him if he was not a demibeast human.
However, she was not evil either. She would always abide by the principle of ‘not attacking unless attacked’! Even in the case of the demibeast human’s spirit who had been refined not too long ago, that had transpired because that spirit had wanted to obtain Lan Ge’s physical body.
Gu Ruoyun was only taking revenge in his stead.
Only a woman like this would deserve his lifelong loyalty.
“Long Yan, that’s enough out of you!” Long Ling’er noticed that Long Yan was about to burst into rage and instantly called him out. “Lan Ge didn’t do anything wrong anyway, why do you insist on pinning this on him? Lan Ge is the Princess’ son and I trust his judgment. Anyone who catches his eye can’t be all that bad.”
“Long Ling’er!”
Long Yan roared angrily and clenched his fist tightly. Everyone nearby could hear his bone-crushing voice.
