“Master, you are truly amazing.”
After Qi Jing Chun left, Zhi Gui was the first to approach Li Mu Bai, looking at him with admiration.
Her admiration this time was not feigned.
She genuinely thought Li Mu Bai was incredibly powerful and awesome.
Although she had just confronted Qi Jing Chun, appearing fearless, her boldness stemmed from a sense of desperation.
She knew Qi Jing Chun wouldn't dare let her self-destruct.
Moreover, she had been suppressed for nearly three thousand years, accumulating boundless anger within her.
Adding to that, having just emerged from the Dragon-Locking Well, she was forced to enter a contract with someone.
This made her anger even more terrifying.
Even following Li Mu Bai, it could be considered a good outcome. Besides using her as a little maid, Li Mu Bai hadn't done anything to her.
But this anger always festered.
Because they, True Dragons, valued freedom above all.
Not to mention, they were highly noble.
How could they willingly be enslaved?
Unable to release her anger on her master, she naturally directed it at Qi Jing Chun, the Saint of the Heavenly Domain.
This is what they call, "You can deceive a gentleman with a square."
“How about it, now you see the benefits of having a master! Your master will protect you, don't be afraid!” Li Mu Bai laughed, reaching out to pinch her delicate face.
While reading the story, Li Mu Bai disliked Zhi Gui choosing Song Ji Xin as her lord instead of Chen Ping An.
But putting himself in her shoes, many in Zhi Gui’s situation would find it difficult to choose Chen Ping An.
After all, Zhi Gui carried endless hatred and anger.
After three thousand years of suppression, she finally crawled out of the Dragon-Locking Well, only to face scheming and forced servitude.
Song Ji Xin living next to Chen Ping An was a blatant ploy.
Zhi Gui couldn't escape this choice.
A True Dragon seeking revenge, after accepting a master, discovers that her master is a rootless weed, destined to become a handful of dust.
But her neighbor possesses True Dragon Qi.
Their Dragon Qis could complement each other.
However, Zhi Gui chose not to complement.
She was constantly consuming Song Ji Xin’s True Dragon Qi.
Of course, Chen Ping An’s Qi was also being consumed by her.
Initially, it was beneficial for Chen Ping An to have his Qi consumed.
Chen Ping An’s Soul Vessel had shattered, leaving his Qi rootless.
Qi residing on him would actually attract misfortune.
Zhi Gui was essentially making a fortunate mistake.
Of course, Li Mu Bai understood Zhi Gui, but it didn't mean he approved of her actions.
Seeing this unfold in someone else's story, he could remain indifferent.
If it had happened to him, he would have slapped Zhi Gui to death.
Just like he initially grabbed her by the neck, threatening to kill her.
If Zhi Gui hadn't accepted him as her master, he wouldn't have spared her.
But now, regardless of the circumstances, this girl had accepted him as her master.
She was his.
Moreover, observing her for two days, he found that she was quite skilled at serving.
So, even a dog is valued for its master, let alone a dragon.
He certainly wouldn't stand by and watch others bully his pet dragon girl.
“Yes, yes, yes! I understand completely! Long live Master, oh, no, Master, live forever!” Zhi Gui nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.
She looked incredibly adorable.
Who would believe she was a dragon?
Who would imagine she was so selfish in the story?
Tsk, tsk.
It's just that, whether human or dragon, different circumstances can sometimes lead to different ways of acting.
Just like Gao Qiqiang.
He only wanted to live a peaceful life as a fishmonger.
Yet, he was forced to become a powerful figure step by step.
“Hmm, I like hearing that!”
Li Mu Bai pinched Zhi Gui’s cheek again before retracting his hand.
Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Ping An and his mother, who looked quite confused.
Chen Ping An was hesitant to speak.
His gossipy expression was obvious.
Evidently, with his mother’s resurrection, Chen Ping An’s mindset had shifted.
He was now displaying his youthful side.
“If you have any questions, just ask. Why are you so hesitant?” Li Mu Bai said softly.
“That, is Zhi Gui the dragon from three thousand years ago?”
Chen Ping An asked with slight hesitation.
His face was filled with gossip.
After speaking, he couldn’t help but look at Zhi Gui again.
Clearly, he was wondering how a dragon could become like this.
“She is indeed the True Dragon that perished three thousand years ago, the last True Dragon in the world.” Li Mu Bai nodded calmly.
“Really!” Chen Ping An realized, then asked again, “But how come the dragon is a little girl? Is that how all dragons look when they transform into human form?”
“How is that possible! Humans have males and females, don’t we Dragons have genders too? If not, then do we Dragons all emerge from cracks in rocks?” Before Li Mu Bai could answer, Zhi Gui glared at Chen Ping An, speechless.
“Hehe…” Chen Ping An scratched his head awkwardly.
He also realized that his question was quite naive.
