Chapter 4
Dragon Overlord: "Little Dragon Rock, you've struck gold! Now you're puttin
As soon as these words were spoken, the clouds and mist above Dragon Island dispersed, and several dragon heads emerged at the same time.
Leading the pack was a massive black dragon, Dragon Overlord.
He was the first to emerge from the clouds, his dark, vertical pupils gazing at Longyan.
To be precise, he was looking at Shen Shu'an in the dragon's claw.
A look of surprise flashed across Long Ba's eyes. A few seconds later, looking at Long Yan, who was holding his head high, he understood: "Long Yan really got lucky. Now he's back to put on an act."
While it is not difficult for dragons to reproduce, it is extremely rare for them to give birth to dragon cubs with pure bloodlines.
Take Shen Shu'an in Dragon Claw for example. Such a little dragon who makes you feel friendly upon first meeting is a rare find!
Then, several more dragons swam over, their big heads lined up, looking curiously at Shen Shu'an.
"Longyan, where did you find this?"
Long Ba flew closer and lowered his head to examine Shen Shu'an on Long Yan's claws.
For some reason, I always felt an unusual warmth towards this kid.
It's as if, as if, his own child; how strange.
"Long Yan, at your age you can still make some contributions to the dragon race, I really have to think highly of you."
"Yeah, Yan-ge, he's rarely reliable!"
"But how come it's in human form?"
"Hiss, big guy, why does this little guy look like my cub?"
Do you think she and I look alike?
The dragons: "..."
They all fell silent, glanced at the dragon who had spoken, and then shook their heads in unison: "It doesn't seem like it."
Long Ba was slightly surprised, as he wasn't the only one with this feeling.
Among all the dragons present, only he and that dragon were at the Refinement stage.
That can only prove... Long Ba's divine sense lightly swept over Shen Shu'an.
Sure enough, a tiny but dazzling ball of light shone brightly on the girl's chest, as if playfully greeting her.
"Impressive, Longyan, you're incredibly strong. But it doesn't look like your offspring."
"It's been so long since a young dragon has visited the island. Your Highness is the only one left on the island now, so you'll have company!"
The surrounding dragons continued their excited discussion, all crowding closer to look at Shen Shu'an on the dragon claw.
Long Yan couldn't suppress his smile at this moment. He gently held Shen Shu'an in his paws and flew towards Dragon Island with his tail raised.
At the same time, he proudly declared to the surrounding dragons, "I snatched it back from the Holy Bright Sect!"
"I suddenly had a whim when I went out today, and when I went to investigate, I found my son in the crowd."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding dragons stared in surprise at Long Yan and Shen Shu'an in his claws.
"What?! Is that even possible?!"
"Whatever sect it is, I'll try my luck next time."
"The Holy Bright Sect, that sounds familiar."
"Damn it! I wish I could have the luck of bumping into a dragon cub while just going out for a stroll!"
Amidst the flattering and envious words, only Long Ba curled his lips and remained silent.
Long Ba, Long Yan's childhood friend, is currently in a bad state.
Good brothers, we cultivate together, we suffer together, we do good together.
I've just recovered, so why is it that you, Longyan, have also suddenly recovered from being bad?
Long Yan clearly knew Long Ba well. While enjoying the amazement of the surrounding dragons, he secretly glanced at Long Ba.
Seeing Long Ba's pouting expression, Long Yan felt a surge of satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Haha, little blackie, you're envious now, aren't you?"
Thinking this, he transmitted his voice to Long Ba: "It's okay, Hei Zi, you'll get better sooner or later."
Long Ba immediately sneered and retorted, "Heh, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, getting all arrogant just because you picked up a dragon cub!"
Long Ba and Long Yan were childhood friends. Because Long Ba was a black dragon, Long Yan gave him a nickname.
But that was in his childhood. Now, Long Ba is already at the third level of the Void Refinement Realm, and he's incredibly powerful!
The two dragons bickered in secret as they led a group of dragons to Dragon Island.
Meanwhile, Shen Shu'an, inside the Dragon Claw, silently observed the conversation between the dragons.
Long Yan landed, and Shen Shu'an was released from his claws. Unfortunately, Shen Shu'an couldn't even stand up straight as soon as he landed.
She hadn't spoken until now because the aftereffects of traversing space hadn't completely faded, and waves of nausea were rising in her head.
In addition, the dragons in front of her were all very large and spoke loudly, which made her dizzy.
So now, Shen Shuan felt a little nauseous.
[Beep, host stress level detected to have increased by 10 points]
"Um...yue."
Okay, I really feel like throwing up.
After trying to hold back, Shen Shuan couldn't help herself and slowly collapsed, covering her mouth.
[Beep! Host stress level detected to have increased by 25 points; cultivation efficiency will increase to 25%.]
[Haha, host, I thought you weren't sensitive to pressure.]
Shen Shu'an rolled her eyes, mentally giving the system the middle finger: "System, you're a real jerk!"
The dragons around Shen Shu'an were shocked to see him suddenly collapse.
"Ah! The baby's fallen!"
"No, the little one is kneeling!"
"The baby's about to throw up!"
"Do you think we're blind?"
"Please help! Is there anyone who specializes in medicine?"
"Yes, brother, I have a summoning talisman left behind by the White Ancestor."
As he spoke, Youlong crushed the Shadow Summoning Talisman left behind by Bai Aoxue.
In an instant, a semi-transparent azure dragon clone appeared above the dragon horde.
It was a jade-like azure dragon with snow-white whiskers and clear, icy eyes.
Bai Aoxue frowned slightly as she looked at the chaos below. "What summons is this?"
As she spoke, she scanned the area with her divine sense, then paused slightly before immediately appearing above Shen Shu'an.
"This is……"
Bai Aoxue looked at Shen Shu'an, who was protected by spiritual power, with surprise, but quickly became puzzled, "How can she be so weak?"
Among the dragons, some prefer dragon bodies, while others prefer human bodies, and some even prefer half-human, half-dragon forms.
Therefore, Shen Shu'an's physical condition at this time is not a big deal.
However, this level of cultivation is pitifully weak.
Dragons are born with unique advantages; even without diligent cultivation, their cultivation level will increase with age.
Normally, a dragon cub of this age would have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now, even without any cultivation.
If it weren't for that pure dragon origin, Bai Aoxue would have suspected that Shen Shuan was actually human.
However, the origin of the dragon race exists only within the body of each true dragon, which is the simplest and most straightforward proof.
"Ancestor, this child was raised by humans from a young age."
"She even considers herself human."
Longyan quickly stepped forward to explain.
Upon hearing this, Bai Aoxue frowned even more, but still cast a spell at Shen Shuan first.
The magic power flew into Shen Shuan's body, and Shen Shuan immediately felt much better. Her whole body felt light, and the nausea and fatigue disappeared completely.
She quickly stood up straight, looking at Bai Aoxue's illusory figure with some nervousness.
This is the ancestor mentioned by the dragons. He must be even more powerful than Longyan. Wouldn't that mean he is above the Nascent Soul stage?
According to her body's memories, this cultivation world is divided into upper and lower realms, and she is currently in the lower realm.
The cultivation realms are divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, Mahayana, and Tribulation Crossing. After Tribulation Crossing, one ascends to the Upper Realm.
"Strange, is there something wrong with my perception?"
"How could this be?"
Bai Aoxue looked at Shen Shuan and murmured to herself. She raised her paw and drew a complex and ancient magic rune in the air.
The magic rune transformed into a soft white light and headed towards Shen Shu'an.
Shen Shu'an watched the white light approaching him, her heart tightening: "System!"
[Beep, host, you're alright.]
The moment the system finished speaking, the white light touched Shen Shu'an's body and instantly burst into an even more intense white light.
Shen Shu'an's heart sank even further upon seeing this: "System, are you sure I'm really alright?"
[Host, you're really alright.]
This is a bloodline tracing technique; the Azure Dragon wants to find your dragon parents.
Shen Shu'an was immediately shocked: "This is still okay?"
Leading the pack was a massive black dragon, Dragon Overlord.
He was the first to emerge from the clouds, his dark, vertical pupils gazing at Longyan.
To be precise, he was looking at Shen Shu'an in the dragon's claw.
A look of surprise flashed across Long Ba's eyes. A few seconds later, looking at Long Yan, who was holding his head high, he understood: "Long Yan really got lucky. Now he's back to put on an act."
