The little golden dragon’s frame of mind was just like a child’s. Could you count on a child to think about a problem so profoundly?
“I won’t…” The little golden dragon shook his head, and his voice was so soft that it could hardly be heard.
Yang Xi looked at Shen Yanxiao’s back and spoke to the little golden dragon slowly.
“It is not up to us to decide what happens in our lives; when we encounter problems, we must not escape them or deny ourselves, because we are not isolated. There are many companions and many expectations around us. For those companions, we must stand up and not fall down.”
“But… But I can’t do anything. I’m timid, afraid, and useless. I can’t fight even the lowest undead.” The little golden dragon lowered his head. His despair did not come from the environment, but from himself.
Since he was little, he was always on the run with his companions, many of whom were young dragons of his age; but in the process of escaping, these young dragons grew up, little by little, from the ones being protected to the protectors.
Look at his little companions, who used to be like himself, as they all began to bravely fight against the enemy to protect his own safety; then, look at his own short stature… The little golden dragon’s heart was full of anxiety.
He asked himself countless times why he was not growing up, why he could not fight alongside his companions.
Why was he always the object of protection?
He thought about making himself strong. He consulted other dragons and asked them to teach him, but his weak physique made him unable to fight.
He was just a burden, a burden that they could never get rid of.
Yang Xi whispered, “Do you think Little Xiao is fierce?”
The little golden dragon raised his head, looked at that figure with a trace of coldness, and nodded firmly.
A human who could receive the obeisance of a Mythological Beast and Holy Beast was absolutely not simple.
“But did you know? Before the age of thirteen, Little Xiao had always been treated as good-for-nothing trash in her family.”
“How could that be!” The little golden dragon opened his eyes wide and stared incredulously.
Yang Xi let out a chuckle and his thoughts flew back to those memories.
“Little Xiao was born in a family of human beings. Her family was very strong, but she was very weak. She was like you. For some reason, her mind and strength were suppressed. It took her thirteen years to find a way out of her predicament.”
“And then she became so fierce?” The little golden dragon seemed to understand something. Finally, his eyes were not as dull as before.
Yang Xi shook his head.
“It’s not that simple. Although she restored her mental state and gained some strength, that strength, even among human beings, was still nothing. However, she did not give up. She climbed up step by step and seized every opportunity to improve herself. She used the time that others took to rest or to have fun to enrich herself; even when she was eating and sleeping, she did not forget to cultivate. She never wastes her time on pleasure. Every minute and second is invaluable to her. She made ten times the efforts of ordinary people, and finally reached the present stage. Up to now, she has encountered many setbacks, experienced several major disasters that almost took her life; her companions and her family had been seen as objects to be removed many times due to her talents, but even so, she never gave up. Those enemies who attempted to harm her companions and family were beaten up by her one by one.”
