As someone who was extremely bad at directions and who was stuck in the forest for months, Shen Ying could not help but praise the worm who was beside her. “Good job, Long Worm!”

“It’s expected, expected!” The black dragon smiled humbly. The forest was not that big to begin with. “Exalted Goddess, what are your plans?”

“Er…” Shen Ying thought for awhile and glanced at the narrow path in front of her. “I’ll probably go and look around at the crowded places!” Chef should be looking for her. For all she knew, they might bump into each other. The key thing was… “Did you bring anything to eat?” She was not used to not having food to eat.

“Eat… Eat…. Eat what?” The black dragon trembled, thinking about the sea beast that was chopped into pieces previously. Its entire body drained of colour. “Exalted… Exalted Goddess, I underwent grain liberation from a very young age, so I…. I… don’t.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying looked disappointed. She turned around and scanned the black dragon from head to toe. As if discovering something, she said, “Long Worm, you…”

Boom!

Before Shen Ying could finish her sentence, the black dragon’s legs turned to jelly and it fell to its knees. It began to cry out, “Exalted Goddess! You can’t eat me… I still have to show you the directions. And my flesh tastes very horrible, really!”

“No, I-”

“Exalted Goddess, don’t forget that I used to be a demonic wyrm. I’m poisonous – you’ll definitely have the runs if you eat me.”

“Actually…”

“I know that you’re hungry, but I haven’t gotten a wife and given birth to little worms. I will not die in peace, Exalted Goddess…”

Shen Ying pursed her lips. What the hell was it talking about?

“I did not want to eat you!”

“Exalted Goddess, I’m not… Eh?” The black dragon paused and its tears ceased. It looked at her in disbelief. “You… did not?”

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded. “I don’t know how to cook.” Chef is not around either.

The black dragon heaved a huge sigh of relief. It looked like it just escaped death. “That’s good, that’s good. Then what was Exalted Goddess saying earlier?”

Shen Ying squinted at him. “Oh, I just wanted to remind you to change your clothes.”

“Huh?” What does she mean?

“You… don’t know that there’s a huge hole in your robes?” Shen Ying pointed toward his back.

“Exalted Goddess, you must be joking.” The black dragon explained seriously, “My black robes was made completely out of dragon scales. It would not…” He touched his back lightly and realised that there was a colder spot. He paused mid-sentence.  ( Boxno vel. co m )

“Don’t you feel like it’s a little breezy around your ass?” It’s been exposed for half a day.

“…”

A while later…

Ah ah ah¬

A painful cry echoed throughout the space.

He forgot that his tail had been torn into half. He had been walking around the entire forest with his butt exposed.

His life was desolate…

The dragon and the human walked side by side for about an hour. They made their way through the vast field and began to see other humans around. Each of them had frightening auras. The black dragon guessed that most of them were divine beings, based on the aura that they were emitting. Perhaps because they cast some kind of hiding spell on themselves, he could not detect their true forms.

They asked around, but did not manage to locate either Yi Qing or Lonemoon. So they continued heading toward the east. The more they walked, the more people they met. In about another hour, they found themselves flying with about ten other people around them. These people seemed to be heading in the same direction, but they were rushing. There were excited looks on their faces and they flew exceptionally quickly.
