In the dark universe, a Divine Beast, an Aerophant, slowly trundled along, carrying Xia Fei and Yang Ji.
The Aerophant was a rare docile Divine Beast, famous for its slowness and obedience.
It was covered in pure white fur, and it had three long noses, each one a kilometer long. Like the arms of an octopus, they pushed aside any asteroids in its path.
This Aerophant was, in fact, not at all like a terrestrial elephant; rather, it was like a crane with its long nose, with a very thin figure. Only its long noses could be likened to that of an elephant’s trunk.
“This guy is too slow. Where are you taking me?” Xia Fei asked with a frown.
The appointed day had not yet come, but Yang Ji had already dragged him out of the Law Realm’s forward base. Xia Fei was spending less and less time with Avril as of late, so he had hoped to spend more time with his beloved.
“We’re going to my home, of course. While Little Bao is slow, he’s very efficient. In any case, isn’t enjoying the scenery on the journey very pleasing?” Yang Ji replied with a smile.
Xia Fei pursed his lips. He could not deny that riding a Divine Beast more than three kilometers long and traveling through the stars was quite a pleasurable experience.
Alas, Xia Fei was used to putting efficiency before everything else. From the first day he had unlocked his seventh brain region, he had been in a race against time, rarely stopping to give himself a vacation.
The impatient Xia Fei and the easygoing Yang Ji were two extremes. The latter chattered on about how delicious the food on Earth was and how anxious he was to have the former visit his home and make Chinese food.
Yang Ji had also taken a great liking to Avril, Xiao Yu, and even Pod. He felt like Xiao Yu and Avril were both Xia Fei’s wives, so he babbled on about how Xia Fei had too few wives and that, once he was an adult himself, he would be taking one to two hundred wives.
Xia Fei had no opinion about this. How many wives Yang Ji married was entirely the man’s business.
Yang Ji could tell that Xia Fei was in no mood to enjoy the magnificent sights of space, so he urged the Aerophant to move faster.
“We’re here,” Yang Ji said, pointing ahead.
“So fast?!” Xia Fei was startled. As he had been thinking about other things this entire time, he did not notice at all that they had reached their destination.
Looking back, he saw that they were now extremely far away from the Law Realm’s forward base. It seemed like the Aerophant was a spatial Divine Beast, moving slowly but crossing spaces that could be measured in lightyears.
In front of them was an asteroid belt arranged in the shape of an eye. Little Bao had stopped right in the middle of it.
“Is this your home?” Xia Fei asked.
“No, but we’ll be there once we pass through.” Yang Ji smiled.
“Hmph!”
Little Bao let out a low snort, and its three long noses suddenly grew, extending into the darkness of space.
Strangely, the space in front of it rippled like water, Little Bao’s noses actually penetrating into the darkness.
The three noses pulled outward from three different angles, creating a triangle.
*Rumble!*
Space opened, revealing a vast sea of stars and a fantastical planet!
Pure white!
This planet was pure white as though it had been carved from a piece of mutton-fat jade and sparkled amid the black canopy of space!
Xia Fei could clearly see sharp cliffs, the milk-like lakes and waterfalls, the white flowers and grass covering the fields!
Xia Fei was stunned. He had never imagined that something so pure could exist anywhere in the universe!
Those white clouds were like cotton candies, so tempting that he wanted to eat them up.
While Xia Fei reeled in shock, Little Bao flapped its wings and approached the hallowed white planet. It flew right through the clouds and landed at the base of a white cliff!
The white mountain was twenty thousand kilometers tall! Atop the smooth cliffs was an absurdly large palace! Waterfalls spilled from the summit, the air moist and warm.
White! Everything was in perpetual white!
A stairway of unimaginable length, leading up to that mystical palace atop the mountain, was suspended in the air!
“This is your home?” Xia Fei swallowed and asked. At this moment, he felt no more than a country bumpkin. Up till this day, Xia Fei had always believed that the Half Moon Hill Villa of Avril’s family and the Skywing Clan’s Fiendwing Villa were the most impressive sights in the universe.
However, it was only today that he learned that Fiendwing Villa was pathetic compared to Yang Ji’s home!
Grandeur!
Yes, it was all about grandeur!
Yang Ji’s home was brimming with stunning holiness. This was no house! It was a sacred church! A god’s paradise!
Suddenly—
A gale howled!
Two pure white behemoths flew down from that sky-high palace, melodious sounds coming from their mouths!
Their wings unfurled to a span of eight hundred kilometers!
Necks like snakes, strong hindlegs, slender forelegs, bat-like wings…
Dragons!
These could only be dragons!
Xia Fei instantly became nervous, for that oppressive aura was just too powerful, and he could almost not stand!
Little Bao prostrated himself swiftly, his head touching the ground as he dared not to even look up at those two mighty dragons in the sky!
Furball cautiously observed the beings in the sky. As for Terror Genesis, Cloud Sea, and Southern Star, they clattered in unison. All of them were stunned by the sudden appearance of these huge dragons!
Little Goldie was the only exception. This king of dark space cared little about the kings of normal space. All it displayed was curiosity.
Yang Ji placed a hand on Xia Fei’s shoulder and said awkwardly, “My mom and dad are really reckless. Please don’t blame them.”
Xia Fei nodded stiffly, but deep down, he was feeling stunned to the extreme!
It turned out that Yang Ji and his family were dragons!
No wonder Xia Fei had felt a holy energy upon stepping onto this planet. It was because this was the territory of dragons!
*Whoosh!*
The two giant white dragons descended, and as they got close, they suddenly transformed into humans. They were a man and a woman, both dressed in white and seemingly in their middle age.
“Welcome, my friend!” The white-clothed man opened his arms and walked over with a smile, welcomingly embracing Xia Fei. The lady was much more reserved, only standing at the side and smiling from there.
“This is my father, Yangguang, and my mother, Hanxiao.” Yang Ji introduced the two hastily.
Yangguang? Hanxiao?1
Quite the meaningful names. Xia Fei privately wondered how they, as descendants of dragons, had picked such gentle names.
“My name is Xia Fei.” He lit a cigarette and tried to keep himself composed.
Yangguang laughed and pointed at Xia Fei as he told his wife, “Little Ji was right! He really is one of our friends! Look, he didn’t look surprised at all when he saw us, and he certainly doesn’t hold any hostility toward us.”
It was definitely wrong to say that he did not feel surprised; however, Xia Fei’s innocent and smiling face was truly deceptive, and he was also a good actor. This was why Yangguang and Hanxiao did not think that he was that surprised while Xia Fei’s heart was on the verge of jumping out of his chest!
Smiling, Xia Fei said to Yang Ji, “I did guess that you had some connection to the Draconids, but I didn’t think that you’d actually be one!”
Yang Ji and Yangguang both waved their hands, with Yangguang hastily explaining, “We’re called Yggdragons. We don’t have anything to do with Draconids.”
Madam Hanxiao added, “Yes, Yggdragons definitely aren’t Draconids. It’s only a name. We’re not even related.”
Yang Ji grumbled, “Mom, Dad, I told you not to show your true forms, but now look at what you’ve done! You’ve gone and scared Xia Fei.”
Yangguang said helplessly, “This is what we promised our friends. I lost a wager, so I promised that whenever our friends or their descendants came to our house, I would not only welcome them with my true form but would even let them ride me once.
“This was what we agreed on, so I don’t feel any regret,” Yangguang said seriously.
Riding a dragon?!
Xia Fei was stunned. This was something that was just too tempting!
Dragoons had to ride dragons to be considered true Dragoons! Was today really the day he got a chance to ride a dragon, to laugh proudly above the nine heavens?!
Yang Ji nodded. “Oh, so it was a promise.”
Turning to Xia Fei, Yang Ji smiled and said, “Since you’ve got the opportunity, you should ride my father a little. Even I only got this chance when I was little. Now that I’ve grown older, Father doesn’t let me sit on his back anymore.”
Xia Fei waved his hands quickly. “No need for that. As a junior, Xia Fei should respect your dignity. In addition, what relation do I have with your friends? You must have made a mistake.”
Yangguang was not taking this argument at all, erupting in laughter!
*Rumble!*
Yangguang suddenly transformed and threw Xia Fei on his back. Flying into the sky, he said, “A promise is a promise! No regrets! If you have any problems with that, we can talk about once I finish taking you around this eighth universe!”
*Bang!*
The white dragon rocketed into the sky, so fast that Xia Fei could barely open his eyes!
Yangguang had two horns on his head, so Xia Fei stood on his head and tightly held onto one of them.
“The eighth universe?! This is the eighth universe?!” Xia Fei shouted.
“Correct! In that long-ago battle, the universe was divided into nine, and this is the Eighth Universe! The paradise for my Yggdragon Clan and the exotic beasts!” Yangguang laughed as he explained.
*Whoosh whoosh!*
Wings, which spanned for eight hundred kilometers, took him above the heavens!
Yangguang instantly brought Xia Fei into the sea of stars, freely wandering the vastness of space!
“Awoooo!”
With every planet they passed, hundreds of millions of exotic and Divine Beasts would prostrate to the ground, paying respects to White Dragon Yangguang!
*Boom!*
Yangguang let out a low roar, so intimidating that it was difficult to describe in words!
While the Yggdragon Clan was very affectionate to Xia Fei, Yangguang radiated the aura of a king of beasts when in front of these exotic and Divine Beasts!
His every moment left hundreds of millions of beasts shaken, and his every breath made them shiver!
Dragons were dragons, the apex of the food chain!
Xia Fei would never forget this sight!
Riding a dragon, traveling the stars, and receiving bows wherever he went—even a god could not have greater power than this!
After taking Xia Fei around the sea of stars, Yangguang stopped in the void and began to suck in air.
Xia Fei felt like Yangguang’s stomach was about to explode from the air pressure, but it seemed like the latter did not plan to stop.
After taking in an unfathomable amount of air, Yangguang let out the strongest sound in the universe!
He opened his giant maw, and the stream of air fired out like a laser!
This sound was broad, deep, and boundless!
It passed through star systems, star regions, galaxies, reaching every corner of the universe!
Perhaps this was not even a sound but rather a god declaring, “Let there be light!”
