LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 166
Chapter 166 I Am a Good Dragon!:
The red dragon was furious.
It had been peacefully slumbering in its treasure hall, basking in the glow of gold coins and the melodic clinking of gemstones. It was a scene of tranquility and luxury.
No Dragon Whisperers. No God-Slaying Witches. Just dreams of endless wealth.
But then, the Extraordinary Control Bureau had to ruin everything.
Claiming that a large-scale world ruin had emerged and was deemed extremely dangerous, they insisted on the assistance of the red dragon’s holy-domain-level power.
The interruption left the dragon seething. Its irritation from being forced awake was palpable. Yet, the promise of a reward—a mountain of dazzling jewels—was enough to temper its rage.
“For the sake of love and peace, I’ll endure anything!” declared the red dragon, masking its frustration as it set off, motivated by the promise of treasure.
Though it longed for jewels, the dragon’s irritation hadn’t completely faded. Dragons were lethargic creatures, often sleeping for extended periods. Being forcibly woken was infuriating, and the red dragon was eager to vent its anger on the world ruin.
“Dragon Charge!!”
The dragon streaked through the sky like a fiery red meteor, leaving behind a blazing trail.
As it breathed, a black mist seeped from its nostrils, and during its rapid descent, its piercing dragon eyes locked onto a dense crowd below.
The sight of what awaited spurred its malicious intent.
“Fear me! Tremble before the mighty Rex Sanchez!”
“The great Rex Sanchez will grant you… equal destruction!”
“Jie Jie Jie! Jie Jie Jie Jie!”
The dragon cackled wickedly, folding its wings as it dove straight toward the ground.
But halfway through, it froze in terror.
Dragon Whisperer?!
Why was he here?!
The red dragon’s descent faltered as a nightmarish figure came into view.
A dreadful sense of impending death surged through the dragon, overwhelming its instincts. This wasn’t the peaceful finality it had sensed from the God-Slaying Witch; this was suffocating, oppressive domination.
If it dared to harm anyone on the ground, it would die a miserable death.
If Xu Xi were hurt, it would suffer an even more tragic end.
Thus, the red dragon made a swift decision.
Under Xu Xi’s surprised gaze, the dragon swooped down, landing with a thud. Then, it did the unthinkable—it knelt, kowtowed skillfully, and raised its claws to show submission.
Loudly, it declared:
“I’m here to donate blood!”
Xu Xi’s surprise deepened.
The dragon’s earlier entrance had been arrogant, streaking through the sky like a meteor. Xu Xi had assumed it was an attack.
Now, the same dragon was claiming to be a volunteer blood donor.
With a faint smile, Xu Xi said, “Quite the coincidence, your arrival.”
As he spoke, the Jianmu sword-staff in his hand emitted a faint glow, hinting at the power of a forbidden curse.
The red dragon broke into a cold sweat. It realized that, even without the overwhelming murderous intent, Xu Xi had been fully prepared to strike.
Fearing for its life, the dragon adopted a more subservient demeanor. It rubbed its claws together, signaling its good intentions.
“I’m a good dragon! A very good dragon!” it insisted. “If you don’t want me here, I’ll leave immediately!”
“No, you’re just in time,” Xu Xi replied, shaking his head.
“I’m planning to transport these people. Since you’re here, you can help give them a ride.”
The number of people emerging from the ruins was staggering.
They weren’t just the townsfolk of Qingniu Town, who had perished during the early demon tide, but also those who had died later while seeking survival.
Although Xu Xi could use the Supreme Crown’s spatial magic to move them in batches, having the red dragon assist made the task much easier.
“Of course! No problem!”
The red dragon brightened visibly. With the oppressive threat now lifted, it returned to its usual demeanor.
As people began boarding its back, however, the dragon grew uneasy.
“This lizard is so big; it’d take a massive pot to stew it!”
“I think roasting it would be better.”
“No, no! Eating it raw would make us stronger!”
The simple townsfolk casually discussed culinary ideas, oblivious to the red dragon’s rising anxiety.
Though the dragon knew these people were weak compared to it, their words left it unnerved, as if they truly had experience eating dragons.
“I must still be half-asleep,” the dragon muttered, forcing a nervous smile as it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Xu Xi released his domain, gathering the remaining people and transporting them with wind magic.
“The number of people we’re relocating is significant,” Xu Xi remarked to himself. “But Yanshan City should be able to accommodate them. At least they won’t have to worry about food and shelter.”
The dragon’s flight stirred roaring winds and waves, but protective barriers shielded everyone, allowing them to gaze at the vast sky freely.
“Wow!”
The people were amazed, some even dancing with joy, feeling as though they had become heavenly soldiers flying through the clouds.
To them, Xu Xi was their Emperor of Heaven, and Ms. Wu was a revered heavenly general.
“A Niu, can you tell me how everyone ended up here?”
As they flew, Xu Xi turned to A Niu, who sat beside him.
The honest man scratched his head, looking unsure.
“Brother Xu, I’m not very smart, so I might not explain it well,” he said.
“I was asleep, and when I woke up, I found myself in the town. My mother and everyone else were there too.”
“And then?”
“One day…”
A Niu clumsily recounted his experience: how he inexplicably revived, returned to Qingniu Town, and was approached by Wu Yingxue, who asked if they wanted to see Xu Xi.
The townsfolk had enthusiastically agreed.
Thus, Wu Yingxue had sent them to Earth.
“Where’s Yingxue now?” Xu Xi asked, curious why the princess wasn’t with them.
“Ms. Wu Xiao said…” A Niu scratched his head, struggling to recall. “She wanted to kill some monsters first before coming to the reunion.”
