Chapter 57 The World Through Their Eyes
After hearing those murmurs, Long Yingxue felt nothing but disgust.
He said he missed her, but his huge golden vertical pupils were full of killing intent.
Long Yingxue also transformed into a dragon.
It also has a body that blots out the sky, with dark gold patterns on its silvery-white scales, and its almost transparent dragon horns on its head constantly emitting golden light.
In terms of presence, she was in no way inferior to the Dragon King, and even slightly overshadowed him because of the golden light emanating from her.
Battles between dragons are often the most straightforward and unpretentious.
They all possess formidable physical strength and bloodline power, rendering ordinary spells and techniques ineffective.
When two dragons entangle and fight, only the most primal collision remains.
Long Yingxue and the Dragon King were locked in a fierce battle, and the two immense forces caused the heavens and earth to change color.
......
"Can Little Dragon Girl win? What if she loses in the end?" Hakimi asked worriedly.
Everything was going according to Cheng Xiao's script.
Now that Long Yingxue has absorbed the Dragon King's inheritance, her strength has greatly increased, and she rushed back to save Cheng Xiao immediately.
But Hakimi always had some worries in his heart: what if he couldn't win?
"We will win," Cheng Xiao said succinctly.
"Alright, then let's do as you say and wait," Hakimi replied.
Moreover, even if he couldn't win, he would use the spiritual power in his soul to forcibly raise Long Yingxue's cultivation to the Void Refinement stage.
We've reached a higher level; surely we'll win this time?
Cheng Xiao now only needs to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for him to appear in front of Long Yingxue.
According to his plan, there is a high probability that Ao Shuang will come back to him and take him to threaten Long Yingxue, forcing her to hand over the Dragon King's inheritance, or else he will kill her.
He would then break free of the ice on his body, sever the master-servant blood pact by burning his golden core, and finally transfer his spiritual power to Long Yingxue.
Everything was then accomplished, and he successfully escaped death.
After seeing his death, Long Yingxue will definitely suffer a mental breakdown and experience strong emotional fluctuations, at which point her favorability towards him will inevitably increase significantly.
This is the same as in the first instance.
Cheng Xiao had figured out the routine.
The concept of "likability" is simply a matter of how strong the emotional fluctuations are.
All he needs to do now is wait quietly for an opportunity.
but......
Cheng Xiao circulated his spiritual power, and the ice shell that had been encasing him shattered instantly. After being frozen for so long, he was finally able to come out and stretch his limbs.
"Hey, bro, didn't you say you were going to wait here? Where are you planning to go now?" Hakimi asked.
He found himself increasingly unable to understand Cheng Xiao.
No, that's not right either. It seems like he's never really seen through it all.
Cheng Xiao remained silent; he simply rushed towards the main hall of the Dragon Palace.
The closer he got to the main hall, the stronger the aura of the turbid source became. He circulated the spiritual power in his soul to envelop his entire body, fearing that he would also be infected.
Currently in Shenhe Prefecture, they haven't quite figured out how the source of turbidity contaminates cultivators.
All they knew was that they must never absorb this energy.
But some things, including those of humans, spirit beasts, and demons, were completely corrupted after just one glance.
Cheng Xiao guessed that perhaps their cultivation levels were too low.
There is no problem as long as you don't actively absorb it.
Long Yingxue and the Dragon King were still locked in battle in the sky, while the remaining dragons lay prostrate on the spot, watching the battle in the sky with fanatical eyes, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.
The entire Dragon Palace's attention was drawn to that battle.
The main hall, which was originally heavily guarded, was now completely empty.
Cheng Xiao encountered no obstacles along the way.
The main hall has the strongest turbid energy, and "red coral" grows everywhere. The flesh and blood tissues are now writhing wildly, more intensely than ever before.
As soon as Cheng Xiao appeared in the main hall, he felt countless eyes staring at him.
During this time, he did not approach the main hall.
He discovered that the eyes here seemed to be able to see through him and directly into his soul.
In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, Cheng Xiao did not alert the enemy.
But now those concerns are gone.
Upon arriving at the main hall, he felt as if something was watching him, both physically and spiritually.
However, "that thing" seemed to just be watching him without taking any concrete action.
Cheng Xiao had been in the Dragon Palace for some time, but this was the first time he had seen the Dragon King leave his throne.
It seems that the "red corals" have become even more active since his departure.
He came to the throne, only to find that it was not a throne at all, and could not even be called a "seat".
It's just a large lump of flesh and blood, mimicking the shape of a chair.
Cheng Xiao sensed that the source of the Dragon Palace's turbidity was emanating from this "throne".
The "throne" was bound by a long rope, from which hung countless white bones. The rope emitted a faint golden light, but that golden light was fading and fading, as if it were about to go out.
The golden light seemed to be fighting against the source of turbidity, but unfortunately it was ultimately no match.
Cheng Xiao didn't dare to release his divine soul to investigate, but he had a vague guess in his heart that the "rope" seemed to be Long Yingxue's dragon tendon!
Now, everything makes sense.
Why was Long Yingxue, a princess of the dragon clan, stripped of her scales and tendons? And why has the Dragon Palace become like this...?
Cheng Xiao asked in his consciousness, "The task the system issued before the dungeon started, 'Let the Dragon Girl reclaim the throne,' does it mean exactly what it says?"
Hakimi replied, "I don't quite understand what you mean..."
"Stop playing dumb, explain the system task to me plainly." He interrupted Hakimi directly.
"Here's the thing, our mission this time is to heal the Dragon Girl's wounds, rekindle her hope to live, make her fall for you, and finally lead the Dragon Girl you've nurtured back to the Dragon Clan to make her the new Dragon King."
After Hakimi finished speaking, seeing that Cheng Xiao didn't reply for a long time, he continued to explain: "It's a revenge scenario, you know? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, this scenario is very difficult, after all, becoming the new Dragon King is not an easy thing."
"In other words, if she wants to become the new Dragon King, she has to sit on the throne," Cheng Xiao said, pointing to the throne made of "flesh and blood."
Hakimi replied without hesitation, "Of course! If she becomes the new Dragon King, she will definitely inherit the Dragon Palace. In the last instance, didn't you help Chu Ning ascend the throne? It's that simple and easy to understand."
Cheng Xiao noticed that Hakimi's tone seemed too relaxed, as if... he was completely blind to the abnormality in front of him.
After spending time with him, he realized that although the guide the system gave him had no physical form and could only reside in his consciousness, it could still see everything outside through his eyes.
"What does this throne look like to you?" Cheng Xiao asked.
"Huh? Can't you see it? Why are you asking me?" Hakimi's tone was full of doubt, but he still replied, "It's just a stone chair studded with jewels, isn't it? If you ask me, the dragons' aesthetic sense..."
Cheng Xiao didn't listen any further.
