Chapter 1: Newborn dragon girl

So dark.

Yi Longlong  blinked her eyes. When she became aware that she could not see anything in this piece of darkness, her first thought was not “Did the skies darken”, but “Did I go blind”.

After all, to a sickly person who was bed-ridden all year long, having an additional ailment wasn’t something difficult to accept.

However, she soon felt something was wrong.

The place she was in right now was small, tight and sealed. Although the air had some kind of fresh faintly sweet taste, in this very small s.p.a.ce, it was not very possible to be comfortable.

And so, Yi Longlong’s brain began to spin, trying to figure out the problem. Who was bored enough to place a sick person at death’s door inside a box?

It wasn’t a few moments later when this thought flashed across, that Yi Longlong finally found out the changes within her.

Her body seemed to be not quite as huge, no, to be exact, it was hugely different.

Presently, her body seemed to be not quite human… there was no way to ascertain this in the darkness. The sealed, narrow s.p.a.ce deepened her terror. Yi Longlong blanked out for a while, then began to diligently knock away at this thing encasing her.

No matter what, getting out was the first priority.

She lifted her “hand” and smacked this container imprisoning her, soft slender “hands” knocked on the smooth concave interior. This further showed that these “hands” were not like human hands. Yi Longlong strongly suppressed her uneasiness, don’t think about the body’s changes, just keep focusing on how to escape from this place.

Knocking with her “hands”, pressing with her body, and thumping with her head, she did not know how much energy was wasted. Yi Longlong finally heard a chain of crisp cracking sounds, and following that, a slit of light shone through.

Suddenly coming into contact with brightness after being in the dark, Yi Longlong subconsciously shut her eyes, opening them only after her eyes have become accustomed to the light.

Suddenly, expressively rich and intense colours flooded into her field of vision. Contrasting the monotonous depression, the magnificence of colours were close to being eye-blinding, giving Yi Longlong the urge to close her eyes once again.

It’s too dazzling. Having been in an all-white hospital ward for many years, it was mostly the white from the mattress and walls, and the black from the night. Being able to suddenly see this rich scenery gave Yi Longlong the misconception of being in a dream.

Cool and refres.h.i.+ng wind blew in the air, trees with jade-like leaves encircled a round lake. The wide and smooth mirror-like lake was comparable to a ma.s.sive piece of azure gem. Under the beautiful sunlight, the gem’s l.u.s.ter sparkled spectacularly.

The deep blue sky, refres.h.i.+ng green from the trees, and also the clear lake, was like a still picture; heart-moving and full of life.

A small distance from the edge of the lake and trees, the ground was piled with numerous white cobblestones of all shapes and sizes, just like the embellishments surrounding a decorative gem.

Such a scene reminded her of the coming of fairytale kingdoms from her dreams, but when Yi Longlong gazed down, she felt as if she was having a horrible nightmare.

Snow white, soft and small, it could not belong to the shape of a human. With the curiosity of a baby1, it was presented to her eyes.

The cage that previously contained her, was half a snow white egg sh.e.l.l, with the rest of it splintered across the surroundings.

Just what in the world has she become?

Connecting her observations, her appearance was like some type of newborn beast.

Strongly suppressing the impulse to hysterically scream, Yi Longlong excruciatingly climbed out of the egg sh.e.l.l. Using an unaccustomed body, she shakily walked towards the edge of the lake.

If she was going to die, then at least she will die knowing what caused her death. At the very least let her know, just what has become of her.
