Chapter 75: You Are More Beautiful Than Everyone Else
Ming Zhaoshuang collected it with satisfaction, and as soon as she arrived in her room, she released Xiao Bai and said to the System:
“Show Xiao Bai, he has already woken up, but his cultivation has not returned.”
Xiao Bai curled up in her palm, licking her fingertip.
“Is there something?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Let me see your body and see if your cultivation can recover.”
Xiao Bai nodded.
Ming Zhaoshuang tore off the Shrink Talisman stuck on Xiao Bai in one breath. For a moment, her palm felt warm, and the dragon’s belly brushed past her fingertips.
The dragon scales were snow white and iridescent, appearing so dazzling and beautiful in the not-so-bright room.
His entire body instantly filled the room where Ming Zhaoshuang lived, even knocking over several books, and finally his tail carefully wrapped around Ming Zhaoshuang.
The Dragon Dao said: “Apologies, my true form is too large.”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s hands stroked his tail, but she saw this fellow shrink back, avoiding her touch.
The dragon lowered its head and stammered, “Sorry… my tail, you can’t touch it.”
“So cute!”
Seeing his foolish appearance, the System couldn’t help but laugh and say:
“As expected of a dragon, it recovers so quickly.”
Ming Zhaoshuang held his upper body, letting the dragon press against her, and rubbed against its dragon head, saying, “It’s alright, it’s good to suck like this too.”
The dragon stopped talking, letting Ming Zhaoshuang fiddle with him.
The System clicked its tongue, “Do you know that he is an adult dragon?”
Adult dragons definitely have physiological needs. Ming Zhaoshuang not only touched him but also rubbed against his neck. No man could resist that, right?
But Ming Zhaoshuang is now just an underdeveloped little dot.
She even treated them like cats and dogs, playfully teasing them.
Isn’t this just teasing them alive?
Ming Zhaoshuang obviously did not understand the meaning of the System’s words. She leaned against the dragon’s head and said:
“Xiao Bai, if you were in the young stage, you would be so cute.”
Except for mosquitoes, any creature is very cute when they are young!
The dragon’s tail moved, not refuting her words.
Ming Zhaoshuang nuzzled for a while before asking the System:
“Did you understand at all, how is his body doing?”
The System remembered its task and said:
“His body is no longer in great danger, he only needs to endure the pain from the Annihilation Lightning Tribulation. However, with the Dragon Race’s self-healing ability, he will recover in three years.”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned: “How painful is the pain from the Annihilation Lightning Tribulation?”
The System pondered for a moment: “Have you heard of ten thousand swords piercing the heart? It’s about that painful.”
Ming Zhaoshuang was surprised, but saw the dragon lying on her lap as if nothing had happened.
As if he were completely fine.
The System continued: “With my current abilities, I can only heal him to this extent. If he wants to return to the Immortal Crossing level, he will probably have to go to Beyond the Heavens…”
Beyond the Heavens, the last Heavenly Layer of the Thirty-Six Heavens, located in the Dragon Domain.
In this case, there’s no way for a while.
The System said nonchalantly: “Rest assured, their Dragon Race’s self-healing ability is strong. It’s just painful, as long as he doesn’t die.”
Ming Zhaoshuang heard this and lowered her gaze.
She asked: “Xiao Bai, do you want to recover your cultivation?”
The dragon nodded: “It’s very uncomfortable without cultivation.”
He didn’t want to hide in her sleeve forever.
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “If you want to recover your cultivation, you can only go to Beyond the Heavens.”
The dragon was stunned for a moment, recalling the years he had spent in Beyond the Heavens, and felt a wave of despondency.
He said: “Then I’ll come find you after I recover my cultivation.”
“Xiao Bai, why are you so good.”
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled. She cupped the dragon’s head, forehead touching forehead.
She said: “The problem is, my strength is insufficient, and you have no cultivation, neither of us can reach Beyond the Heavens.”
Thirty-Six Heavens, Beyond the Heavens is the highest.
If Xiao Bai were to recover to the Immortal Crossing level, then she could practically walk all over the Cultivation World. What a shame.
However, there are also benefits to this. At least Xiao Bai can only rely on her now. Xiao Bai’s Soul Power is strong, his knowledge is broad, and he also understands Talismans and Formations, so he can teach and explain to her.
If Xiao Bai truly recovered to the strength of an Immortal Crossing expert, for her, even if he didn’t dislike her, she would still feel uncomfortable.
Ming Zhaoshuang, having always been independent, only wanted to be the strongest, not to rely on the strongest.
The dragon said: “That’s also good, it’s fine for me to follow you all the way.”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyes and brows crinkled with joy, “You, a cultivator at the Immortal Crossing stage, following me, a mere Minor Golden Core, isn’t that demeaning?”
Long asked, “Is this demeaning?”
He seemed quite puzzled.
“Following you makes me very happy, happier than all my previous tens of thousands of years.”
“Really?” Ming Zhaoshuang teased him.
Long replied, “Really.”
Ming Zhaoshuang laughed heartily, her eyes and brows like a spring breeze.
Long said, “Although I have lived for tens of thousands of years, before reaching Deity Transformation, I never left Beyond the Heavens. After Deity Transformation, I only saw the Dragon Domain. After many struggles, it was cruel and bloody, and I found it exceptionally boring, so I returned to Beyond the Heavens.”
“Before meeting you, I never knew the Mortal World was so prosperous and lively.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang’s slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked, “But the Mortal World I brought you to see is not perfect.”
“In this world, are there any perfect things?”
Long said calmly, “Although the Grand Competition saw the Lingxiao Sect and Bixia Sect make fools of themselves, the Ao Tian Sect’s united spirit and their fighting spirit for the sect are even more commendable. Although the people of Shuangyu Village were insane, there were also those like you who upheld justice, and those like Wei Jiao who saved themselves and strived for self-improvement.”
If one were to go to the Dragon Domain, one would only see corpses and flesh and blood, greed and lust.
Therefore, Long did not feel that the Mortal World Ming Zhaoshuang encountered was not beautiful.
He liked this Mortal World very much, and he liked this Ming Zhaoshuang very much, so he did not feel wronged; on the contrary, he was very happy.
This was indeed an angle she had not considered, and Ming Zhaoshuang fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
Long then said, “However, I wish I wasn’t a dragon. I don’t want to stay in your sleeve.”
It was just that if he appeared, he would become a target and bring countless troubles to Ming Zhaoshuang.
After all, some people might not recognize Fushuang, but they would surely recognize Long. A dragon without cultivation and Ming Zhaoshuang, who only had Golden Core Stage cultivation, were simply a pushover that anyone could bully.
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang recalled that he seemed to be able to transform into human form at the beginning. It was a pity that Long was completely black at the time, and she couldn’t see his face clearly, nor did she know what he looked like.
“It would be great if you could transform into human form.”
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed, “Xiao Bai, what do you look like? Are you handsome?”
Long had rarely interacted with people and did not know what beauty and ugliness meant in the eyes of the world. However, since Ming Zhaoshuang asked, he seriously thought about his previous appearance. He seemed no different from others.
He then looked at Ming Zhaoshuang’s face. Her eyes were gracefully curved, like the crescent moon in the sky.
Finally, he said, “I look ordinary. I shouldn’t be ugly. But I also have two eyes and one mouth, nothing special, not as good-looking as you.”
Ming Zhaoshuang chuckled upon hearing this, “Who doesn’t have two eyes and one mouth? How am I better-looking than you?”
Long said seriously, “You are just better-looking than everyone else.”
