Chapter 406: The Cerulean Serpent (2/2)
”Fine by me.”
After discussing it, Ming Yue sat and watched, sensing the state of her body.
”Ugh, I really did a number to myself”, she thought, finally seeing the state of her body
Some time passed by before two things happened. Xue Yue opened her eyes and looked behind her. Several hundred meters away was Commander Zi Jing's ship, slowly closing the distance but a meter every few minutes.
”The girl is on it as well”, she thought.
But the second thing grabbed her attention as she took a peek below her.
”This is...”
Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the lake surface. It was no longer motionless like a mirror but instead, there were waves. They were small but slowly grew more and more powerful.
”Is it the serpent?” she wondered.
The next moment, a large shadow revealed itself, swimming just under the surface of the lake. It swam past her before circling around, it was large, massive even. A long snake-like body that seemed to make the lake look more like a pond.
It circled once, twice, before it shot out of the water.
The Cerulean Serpent revealed itself with cloudy blue scales and a pair of white and black eyes. It stared at her curiously as she stopped in front of it. With that, the serpent absolutely dwarfed her, she was slightly larger than its eye. That was how big the serpent was.
If it so pleased, the beast could swallow her and the boat whole.
As for Zi Jing and Yu Zhen, the two commanders looked in horror as the ship stopped where it was.
”That's the Cerulean Serpent... Why did it awaken?”
”Is it going to eat her? Can we even attempt to save her?”
Neither of them knew what to do, they were dumbfounded by this sudden development. Shen Varuna yelped in fear as the serpent emerged. She fell down in fear, feeling the strength leave her legs.
At the same time, Xiao Yin and Hei Yue looked on with both worry and anger. But they knew that the Serpent was nothing something they could contend with. The aura it emanated was both immense and grand, befitting of an ancient and powerful creature.
And the legendary creature looked at Xue Yue curiously, before speaking in an older woman's voice.
”Strange, how strange... You have the aura of a dragon on you, a very familiar aura at that. But you are human, very much so. I wonder why?” she asked.
Xue Yue was quiet, trying to think of something to say before finally speaking out.
”You must mean this sword.”
She held it out and unsheathed it, revealing the two gems on the guard.
”These gems here were a gift from a dragon known as Xiu Luo Yang, Dragon of the Sun.”
The serpent pulled back in surprise before coming even closer to inspect.
”It is true, you do have his energy... How strange to think you would have met him.”
”Do you know him?” Xue Yue asked.
”Of course, he is my younger cousin!”
”Your... younger cousin?”
