Chapter 52 (2/2)

Why wouldn’t it give up when it was living in such pain, even though it was still so young? The otherworld might be better than here!

“Baiqi, can you go faster?” Zhu Minglang asked.

The White Ice Morning Dragon flapped his wings, raising a strong wind in the skies above the forest, the trees swaying like seaweed in the waves.

Riding this wind, the White Ice Morning Dragon flew faster. Soon, his pure white silhouette appeared at the edge of the ancient pine forest. The Lichuan Plains and Lichuan River would be in sight after passing over the fir forest.

At the cliff, a Great Dragon covered in moss slowly landed on the summit.

Standing at the vantage point, a white figure was reflected in the Great Forest Dragon’s huge pupils, slowly pulling away.

“Yiyi!!!”

The unperceptive Cliff Vultures finally realized the dragon’s hoard was stolen, and the dragon’s infant was also taken away. All the Cliff Vultures immediately hovered in the skies above the cliff in a panic, trying to pick up on a scent to chase that thief!

“HOU!!” the Great Forest Dragon roared. The Cliff Vultures immediately flew into the tree crowns in fear, not daring to make any noise.

Hiding on the tree branches, the Cliff Vultures trembled in fear, afraid that the mother forest dragon would bite their whole family to death.

The dragonling came up to the Great Forest Dragon’s feet, making very gentle cries, acting like a spoiled child seeking attention.

The Great Forest Dragon looked down, opened its mouth, and spat out a piece of meat from its stomach.

The forest dragonling let out an excited cry and jumped on the piece of meat. With no one competing with it for food, it no longer had to devour ravenously. It could wait slowly for the meat to melt in its throat before swallowing.

The mother dragon looked at the bite mark on the dragonling’s forehead, then looked at the gradually distancing white figure. In the end, it didn’t give chase.

It slowly sank into the empty pit, and closed its eyes…

Shortly afterwards, the full dragonling came up to its mother. The Great Forest Dragon didn’t open its eyes, only lifting its wings and wrapping the dragonling beneath.

After flying beyond the forest, the plains and river entered their sights.

The breath of the baby dragon wrapped in Zhu Minglang’s clothing grew weaker and weaker. It tried very hard to keep its eyes open, looking at Zhu Minglang.

“Why are you doing this?” Zhu Minglang looked at the tiny eyes, unable to feel the rage in its heart. It was like the baby dragon was saying goodbye to this stranger, carrying a hint of unwillingness, in addition to a hint of gratitude.

It couldn’t hold on any longer, even though it was trying very, very hard.

Its injuries were too heavy. Without the undergrowth, it would have instantly died, relieved of life and suffering.

However, that thorny undergrowth allowed it to stay in this world for a little longer.

That short while had made this tiny creature taste pain. If there was an afterlife, it wouldn’t want to be reborn here…

“Ai, I don’t know if this method works… Come into my spirit domain,” Zhu Minglang said, not feeling optimistic.

Since they met, it was fate!
