Chapter 10

The more you borrow, the more you have to repay, so if you want to repay more, you have t

The next morning, as soon as Shen Shu'an stepped out of her cave, she was greeted by a large number of dragons who had been waiting at the door since early morning.

Shen Shu'an: "?"

Caught off guard by the numerous gazes, Shen Shu'an froze, looking at the dragons with confusion.

She wanted to ask, but was hampered by her illiteracy.

But before she could speak, a chorus of exclamations arose simultaneously.

"Wow, it really has turned into a little dragon."

"Hehe, little dragon cub, so cute! I haven't seen a little dragon like this in a hundred years!"

"Yes, Your Highness's dragon body is larger now, so it's not as cute anymore."

"Did Longyan really pick this up? I think it's my own child."

Shen Shuan was listening quietly when she heard this, her pupils dilated, and she looked up in shock.

"Hahaha, look how cute she is."

"That's hilarious, stop teasing the child."

Shen Shuan: No, are you guys alright?

"Okay, get out of the way, I'm taking my child to school. Don't block my way, you never seem to have anything better to do!"

Longyan exerted a great deal of effort and finally managed to squeeze into the dragon herd.

As soon as Shen Shuan saw Long Yan, she immediately clung to him as if he were her lifeline, quickly wrapping her arms around his shoulder.

"Oh my, so cute, so cute."

"She can even arrange them nicely. Can any of you arrange one for me to see?"

Long Yan ignored the group of childless street urchins and, with Shen Shu'an in tow, flicked its tail and flew towards the center of Dragon Island.

On the way, Shen Shuan enjoyed the morning breeze, her eyes squinting comfortably.

The wind was painful when it was in human form, but gentle when it was in dragon form.

This damned cultivation world is a massive racist community!

Suddenly, the system's untimely voice rang out: [Host, you now have 100 points, why aren't you repaying the loan?]

As Shen Shuan followed the wind's lead and tried to wag her tail, she thought to the system, "Because I really do have a hundred points, System."

The system was shocked: [Host, didn't you say you would pay back the 50 points you owed me as soon as possible?]

  

"Oh right." Shen Shuan perked up a bit: "Then I'll pay you back 50 points first. By the way, System, could you help me borrow another 50 points? There are two months of interest-free financing."

The system briefly crashed: [? Host, is this even possible?]

"Why not, Master? It's not that we won't pay; we're offering a delayed, slower, and more lenient repayment!"

The little white dragon spread its paws, looking quite innocent.

"Speaking of which, let's just borrow it all. Let's borrow as much as we can. The more debt we have, the better."

Shen Shuan's mind raced, and she suddenly perked up, her icy blue eyes sparkling.

【…Host, isn't this a bit inappropriate?】

The system was slightly flustered. Could it be that its host was a deadbeat?

"Don't worry, Tongzi, just take out the loan! As long as we owe enough, we can do whatever we want!"

"Moreover, loans are made first and then repaid; only with loans can repayments be made."

"Just watch as I use these points to develop rapidly in the early stages, then I'll lead you to the pinnacle of dominance!"

Shen Shu'an said affectionately to the system in her heart, "System, we are one now. If I am well, you are well, so the more loans I take out, the better for me."

"Moreover, the more you borrow, the more you have to repay; therefore, if you want to repay more, you have to borrow more!"

system:【???】

The system was a little confused. How come it seemed to make some sense?

Its chip trembled slightly, and it weakly asked, "Really? Host."

Shen Shu'an patted his chest with his paw, "It's all part of the package, the whole system, let's prosper together!"

"Alright, little one, we're here."

As they were talking, Long Yan suddenly swerved and braked dramatically, stopping in front of a floating island.

That's right, Dragon Island is like that, with islands within islands, and islands nested within islands, countless and endless.

The island has a simple and clear training ground and a few small cave dwellings. It is not luxurious, but rather back to nature.

Shen Shu'an blinked and looked up at the dragon rock in front of her: "Huh?"

"Uncle, is it really just me and the other prince, two little dragons, going to school together?"

"What did you say?" Long Yan scratched his head, still not understanding.

He transformed into a man with a dragon's head and a human body, staring intently at Shen Shu'an.

Longyan: "OnO"

Shen Shuan: "QnQ"

A few seconds later, the two of them pretended to ignore what had happened and looked away.

Long Yan cleared his throat and introduced Shen Shu'an, "From now on, Shu'an, you will be attending classes with His Highness."

"That's right, our Dragon Clan's Emperor resides in the Upper Realm, while His Highness resides in the Lower Realm."

"But even though he is a prince, you don't need to be afraid. Our dragon race doesn't have that hierarchy. The Dragon King is here to protect the dragon race."

"His Highness is at most a little richer than us now."

"From now on, study hard, play if you can, and play by yourself if you can't. Study if you can, and wait for your uncle to pick you up from school if you can't."

Shen Shuan understood and nodded with starry eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright, Uncle will be going now. Go to school by yourself, sweetie."

"Hehe, you two can keep each other company this year, two is already quite a lot."

Shen Shu'an: "..."

Shen Shuan blinked, staring in shock at Long Yan's retreating figure.

What? Two is already a lot?

She was starting to understand why she had been kidnapped the moment she appeared.

Shen Shu'an couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "So, the number of dragon cubs is really small, or rather, it's extremely small."

[…Host, didn't you just say something pointless?]

Shen Shu'an: "Never mind."

Shen Shu'an immediately flew towards the cave in front of him, and at the same time, his heart stirred slightly. He had just heard something about His Highness and His Majesty being in the upper and lower realms.

Now that I think about it, it sounds kind of familiar.

Ugh, you're so dense, hurry up and think!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have skipped ahead when I was reading the book!

Dragon King, Dragon King, what's the plot again?

Filled with doubt, Shen Shu'an entered the cave dwelling with a plaque bearing the five large characters "Dragon Island Kindergarten".

Upon entering, the first thing you see is bright light.

On the cool, smooth marble floor, two soft, pure white futons were laid out, with a step above them, and on the step, another large futon.

Now, one of these two small cushions has a dragon seat.

Shen Shuan glanced at it briefly, then swam straight to another small futon and sat down.

On the small futon, there was only a dark, unidentified object, which looked like a black snake coiled up.

But that one glance was enough to put Shen Shu'an on high alert.

She remembered it all immediately.

The dragon prince described in the book, Xuan Yi, is from the upper realm. His birth mother is not a dragon and died from injuries after his birth.

Xuan Yi lived alone in the wilderness for more than ten years, relying on the storage ring his mother had taken off before her death.

It was only by chance that the dragons found it; it was the posthumous child left behind by the Dragon King before his ascension.

Therefore, although the dragons acknowledged his identity, they still felt awkward, and his personality was also very aloof.

As he matured, he became a formidable figure, possessing a status and strength that could not be ignored, but also exhibiting a highly unpredictable temper.

In one of the secret realms, this character directly fought with the male and female protagonists and ultimately won.

Shen Shuan recalled the memories in her mind, and even her breathing became soft.

Immediately, the entire dragon cowered on the futon, becoming a flat, white blob.

A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard again.

Shen Shuan looked up and saw a tall woman.

She entered the cave, her hair completely white, but her face looked very young.

A jade hairpin held up her long hair, and she wore a fiery red satin robe, with the buttons meticulously fastened to the top.

Her gaze fell on the two flat, black and white shapes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She chuckled, "Have you been waiting long?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuan quickly sat up, raised her little head, and shook it.

She successfully mastered the "Dragon Breath Technique" yesterday and transformed into a dragon's body, but she has not yet found a way to turn back into a human.

And since he doesn't speak dragon language yet, he can only attend classes as a mute little dragon.

However, the one next to him, for some reason, also had a dragon body.

Seeing Shen Shuan puffing out her little head, the woman smiled.

With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a burst of magical power, instantly transforming Shen Shu'an into a five- or six-year-old girl.

"I know you don't speak dragon language, so please use this posture for lessons from now on."

"Learn some dragon language and then transform into dragon form."

"Your name is Shen Shu'an, right? Little Shu'an, I will be your teacher from now on. Long Yunmei, you can call me Aunt Mei."

Shen Shuan was startled, looked down at her chubby little hands, and opened her mouth.

But a few seconds later, she looked up at the smiling Long Yunmei, stammered for a moment, and finally called out, "Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei."

"Oh."

But just as Shen Shuan finished speaking, a soft laugh came from beside her.

Shen Shuan frowned and turned her head to look, only to see a five or six-year-old kid with a stern and aloof expression.

She looked much the same as she did then, with her short and stocky appearance.

In an instant, Shen Shuan understood, and she clenched her little fist.

Ha, ha, so it's all thanks to this prince that she's become younger too!
