480 Be Careful (1/2)

”Careful! Are you planning to hurt your mate?!” Xiao Shi screamed at the dragon.

If Xiao Shi had not been in front of Gao Lan Mei all along and had ended up wasting even a second, she would not have been able to save them both from the huge body that suddenly flew towards them.

'Ggggrowhl!!'

The dragon growled, probably at what Xiao Shi had said.

Xiao Shi just rolled her eyes and continued to move away from it. She was thankful that the dragon had not fallen onto the flame wall, but rather across it. Nevertheless, every movement from it was causing a great disturbance in the place. Not to mention the spiritual energy coming from its body, which was pressurizing enough to make the weaker feel suffocated.

Gao Lan Mei looked back towards the dragon's location at the same instance that its large head moved to look at them directly. She could feel her rising heartbeat as she looked at the dragon's large reptile eyes. The yellow slits that she loved looking at were now surrounded by red making them bloody and dangerous.

”Jiayi… be careful…” Gao Lan Mei murmured silently.

Xiao Shi carried Gao Lan Mei on her back as she ran away from the gigantic creature with dark scales. If not for the firewall near them, she may have never seen it blend so clear and well with the black smoke.

In truth, Gao Lan Mei preferred to run somewhere else. 'Why not?' She asked herself. It was an idea that she had been toying with for a while now. Then she could that fact that Xiao Shi would not die to buy time and save those that needed to be saved as Gao Lan Mei plans to run, bringing the enemies' with her towards their endings.

'Ggggrowhl!!'

The dragon suddenly growled loudly in Gao Lan Mei's direction, like it was protesting to what she was thinking. Its massive body, with red eyes having slits of yellow. Fangs that looked so sharp within its mouth and could easily cut her into two.

Since the dragon was also surrounded by Impurities, this should have scared Gao Lan Mei. However, she did not feel an ounce of fear by looking at the massive creature.

Gao Lan Mei had a feeling of nostalgia instead while staring at the huge bloody reptile eyes like she had seen them before. She tried so hard to remember where, but the more she did, the more her head ached.

She frowned in confusion as Gao Lan Mei bit her lower lip. Her gaze locked on the dragon that seemed to be studying her as well.

Aside from the confusion, the compelling feeling of connection to get closer to the massive beast was also prominent. She wanted to get closer to it, badly.

'Probably because he bit me without permission?' Gao Lan Mei was concerned because of the feeling. It only meant that Wei Jiayi had claimed her as his mate. She wanted to get close to it, despite initially wanting to leave.

The dragon seemed to know what she really wanted because it suddenly leaped and landed near Gao Lan Mei and Xiao Shi. They were so close to the firewall but needed to stop instantly as scared that the dragon might step on them.
