Night at New North Bridge was similar to the summer nights of other places in the capital, brimming with the stifling heat of summer. The grass was littered with people endlessly fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans. Many people used the hand not holding the fan to carry a bag of ice. Chen Changsheng waited for a very long time until an ideal chance came for him to go from the tree to the well and jump in.

It was still that familiar feeling of falling, that icy chill that bored into the bones. None of the torrid summer heat above could be found in this underground space. The thick mantle of snow on the ground signified that this place would always be the cruel winter.

As he watched the Black Dragon slowly float over like a moving mountain range, although he had seen this sight many times before, he still found it impossible to control his emotions, feeling almost scared witless.

The Black Dragon floated in the space in front, gazing at him from high up. The emotion revealed in its dragon eyes was one of cold indifference. Only he could clearly tell that the deepest depths of those eyes concealed a hint of impatience and complaint.

After returning to the capital from Xunyang City, he had only come to see the Black Dragon once. It was just that pressure placed on the Orthodox Academy recently had been far too great and he had been far too busy. He had truly found it impossible to tear himself away.

The wound between the brows of the Black Dragon should have slowly gotten better. At least, he couldn't see any problems on the surface.

Chen Changsheng took out the food such as roast lamb and chicken that he had prepared as usual, also cleaning up the trash on the floor. Just as he was prepared to speak, a sudden chilly wind blew into his face.

It was the Black Dragon's dragon breath, containing a frightening might and cold.

The most powerful soul could be dispersed by this icy dragon breath.

The dragon breath of the Golden Dragon could melt metal. Chen Changsheng had never seen it before, but he could be very sure now that its peer the Black Frost Dragon's dragon breath could definitely freeze metal into bits, because he was currently frozen to a halt, the cold piercing into his bones and his body in incomparable pain. After some time, he was finally able to break through the ice with great difficulty. Fear still lingering in his heart, he said, ”In the future, don't joke around like this anymore.”

He didn't know that his body had once been bathed in the true blood of the Black Dragon, or else that dragon breath would have simply frozen him to death. Then it would no longer be a joke.

A hint of happiness and content flashed across the Black Dragon's massive eyes and the cavernous space echoed with the sounds of 'zhizhi' as it laughed.

Chen Changsheng was already used to the strange laughter of the Black Dragon. He told it what had happened recently to the Orthodox Academy, which could also be considered an explanation for his lack of visits.

The Black Dragon slowly descended to the ground before him, blocking out the radiance of the several thousand Night Pearls studding the ceiling of the underground space.

Chen Changsheng stood in its shadow, staring at it for a long time. He firmly resolved that he must get an answer today.

Back then when he had endangered his life and attempted Introspective Meditation for the first time, he was just about to die, but when he finally woke up, he was lying on his bed in the Orthodox Academy, and he wasn't even wounded. On the contrary, he had obtained an unimaginably tough body, strength and speed.

He knew that this was definitely related to the Black Dragon. Later on, he had asked several times, but the Black Dragon had always avoided answering his question. Hearing his question, or maybe sensing his resolve today, the Black Dragon did not act as it had done before, using disregard to humiliate him, or using its dragon breath to humiliate him. Instead, it fell into a long silence.

”Are you sure you wish to know the answer?” the Black Dragon said in human tongue.

This was not the first time Chen Changsheng had heard the Black Dragon speak in human tongue. During the first time, he had not understood why the Black Dragon's voice was similar to that of an irritable and easily angered young girl. He later on realized that although the Black Dragon had been locked in this underground space by Wang Zhice for several centuries, when relative to the long lives of the Dragon Race, it was truthfully still in its youth. It could not be called a child dragon, but it should be…

A young maiden dragon?

Chen Changsheng replied, ”I wish to know the answer.”

After another long silence, the Black Dragon described the circumstances back then.

Only then did Chen Changsheng realize that he had originally been so fortunate.

After a long silence, he looked at the Black Dragon and asked, ”How should I thank Your Honor?”

After the journey in the Garden of Zhou, he very rarely addressed the Black Dragon respectfully. However, his mindset was somewhat restless, filled with a lingering fear and gratitude to the Black Dragon, so he respectfully addressed it with 'Your Honor'.

Yet the Black Dragon clearly did not wish to hear these words. A tinge of vexation appeared in the depths of its massive eyes.

And then the Black Dragon thought of something and the vexation turned into anger.

If Chen Changsheng were more sensitive in certain aspects, perhaps he would have been able to see a little shame.

All the meanings in the depths of the Black Dragon's eyes ultimately transformed into a fiendish intent.

You obtained my first blood and then actually asked me how to thank me!

The world of the underground space instantly became incomparably frigid. The mantle of snow on the ground was jolted into the air and snowflakes began to float down from the sky. Everywhere was a dense white.

A dragon cry fell directly in Chen Changsheng's sea of consciousness.

It was her voice, this time in dragon tongue.

Her voice was very soft, very clear.

Her emotions were very chilly, very intense.

Chen Changsheng was almost shocked into unconsciousness. When he turned his thoughts to that dragon cry he had just heard, he realized that it was the Black Dragon's words to him.
