Chapter 197 (2/2)
“Haha, if anyone could recognize you now, I’d eat my hat!” Xue Longfei was immensely pleased.
A trace of shock flashed through Leng Lingyun’s eyes. He handed over the mirror to Qi Aoshuang. When she took a look, she saw a head of green hair. Her eyes were still large, now a common blue color. Her nose was covered in freckles.
She nodded, pleased. Indeed, no one would be able to recognize her.
A few days later, Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun arrived at a dock near the border. Xue Longfei then departed.
As the sun started to set, Qi Aoshuang watched as the gorgeous vessel left, silent.
“Aoshuang, let’s go,” Leng Lingyun said quietly.”
“Mm.” Qi Aoshuang nodded, and then they left.
Their journey was smooth as expected. No one took notice of Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun now.
And so, the two smoothly passed Yowusali’s border and through the hazy swamp, heading to Dragon Valley.
Dragon Valley was between wide expanses of steep mountains.
It was a forbidden area.
Who knew how many had been able to make it out alive.
Just as they entered the mountain range, Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun sensed an incorporeal pressure.
The next moment, they saw black. A giant figure appeared overhead, throat rumbling, then descended before them.
“Humans, if you want to live, leave immediately. You are in dragon territory,” a thunderous voice said abruptly.
Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun looked up to see a giant dragon crouched before them, eyeing them disdainfully. He was likely a dragon guarding the entrance.
Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun exchanged glances.
“We are looking for Ben Berna Alexa Betlabu Etfeid…” Qi Aoshuang started to recite from memory. She had remarkable memory, able to remember Ben’s long family name from that one time he had introduced himself.
“Cease your talking! Lowly human, how could you utter our king’s name so wantonly.” The giant dragon abruptly burst into anger, about to spit out fire.
Qi Aoshuang was elated. She had bet correctly. Ben had been able to clear his name and regain what was rightfully his! Becoming the dragon king! If this was true, then it was too easy. However, this guard was just a little too thick.
“Is the dragon race really this thick? Could any human know the dragon king’s name? Tell Ben Claire Hill is here.” Qi Aoshuang humphed.
The guarding dragon froze. He looked at the small human, suspicious. The dragons were a proud race and would not give away their names to anyone? But his king’s true name had indeed been said by this human. Everyone knew that their king had been framed before, and they all knew some kind of human had saved their king. However, the human was famous for their golden hair and fair appearance. The tiny human did not seem to fit the description.
“Human, are you really Claire Hill? Claire Hills is known for her golden hair and jade eyes.” The dragon crouched down to look at her carefully to ascertain he was not wrong. Whether it was her hair or eyes, they all did not match the description.
“I used a secret method to change my appearance,” Qi Aoshuang explained. “If you bring us to meet your king, the truth shall be revealed.”
“But our king is currently in seclusion, receiving the dragon king inheritance.” Although the human seemed different from what their king described, she was able to utter his name. Perhaps she was really Claire Hill in disguise?
Dragon king inheritance?!
Qi Aoshuang understood. After becoming the dragon king, he would receive the dragon god’s bestowal and obtain gold power. Only then would he become the true dragon king.
“Thus, we will have to wait.” Qi Aoshuang smiled at the guard dragon. “Don’t worry, we will leave the dragon valley and wait outside. Once your king’s ceremony ends, please inform him.”
“Of course. The moment he leaves seclusion, I will inform him immediately.” The dragon nodded hurriedly. If the human before him was truly the king’s savior, he could not afford to offend them accidentally.
