Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Sister?
Lan Xin and Yang Xiao naturally had no idea that the giant dragon would recall the tragic past of her home destroyed and kin lost in a flash.
Seeing the little girl transform into a giant dragon, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, filled with killing aura, both of them were startled.
Yang Xiao immediately stepped in front of Lan Xin, holding the Bronze Divine Sword, and said:
"Lan Xin, get on the Giant Eagle and leave quickly."
After swallowing a Small Blood Pill, the Giant Eagle’s Qi had recovered swiftly, and its feathers had regrown by about half, regaining its basic ability to fly, and it had already stood up.
At a life-and-death juncture, Yang Xiao could still run back to save the Giant Eagle, which was very touching to the creature.
Although the Giant Eagle couldn’t speak, as a high-level mutated creature with intelligence, it was very emotional.
The Giant Eagle let out a cry and flapped its wings, ready to carry Lan Xin to safety.
Lan Xin looked up at the enraged giant dragon in the sky, hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and said:
"Little sister, I didn’t expect you to be a transformed giant dragon. Have you encountered some trouble? Speak to us, tell us, we can think of a way to help you. Also, I think you were cuter when you appeared as the little sister before; this form now is rather frightening."
Lan Xin’s words were gentle, as if she was comforting her own sister.
The enraged giant dragon looked at Lan Xin and said:
"You don’t need to pretend to be a good person, and I don’t need your pity. I am a lofty dragon, a divine beast, you do not have the right to pity me."
Lan Xin smiled faintly and said:
"I am not pretending to be good. What I like, I like, what I hate, I hate. Although I care about life, I will not beg for mercy from you. However, I believe you are a kind dragon, a kind-hearted little girl.
Maybe you have encountered something sad and distressing, but you know what? We have faced very sad and distressing things too. Our world plunged into an apocalypse overnight. By the time we woke up, our loved ones, our parents had died, and even our friends, neighbors, and many strangers. Most people died inexplicably. We didn’t even have time for sorrow and tears before immediately facing food shortages, starvation, and the threat of various mutated creatures..."
Lan Xin spoke the truth, her voice full of sorrow and compassion, her eyes moist with tears.
The giant dragon in the sky paused, surprised to learn that Lan Xin and Yang Xiao had suffered the same catastrophic changes as she had.
After escaping her plight protected by her father’s divine skills, who forcefully transported her several kilometers away, she immediately ascended through the clouds, flying towards Shenlongjia, oblivious to the apocalyptic catastrophe that had befallen humankind.
"You... you’re saying that humankind has suffered an apocalyptic disaster?"
Yang Xiao nodded affirmatively and said:
"That’s right, overnight, more than ninety percent of the human population perished. All the elderly, children, and middle-aged people died, leaving only some of the younger generation. Until now, we still don’t know what happened. Based on our analysis, we have been attacked by an alien civilization."
After hearing Yang Xiao’s words, the Silver Giant Dragon fell silent for a moment, reverted to her human form, and descended to the ground, her face marked by sorrow as she said:
"So, you humans have also suffered a great disaster. I thought it was only our Dragon Clan that had experienced such a catastrophe."
Seeing the dragon transform back into a little girl, Lan Xin approached gently and said:
"Little sister, can you tell us what happened to your Dragon Clan?"
By this point, Yang Xiao and Lan Xin both believed that dragons did exist in this world, albeit normally unseen.
Just like the yetis of Shenlongjia which, before the apocalypse, despite decades of search by numerous scientific expeditions and adventurers, had never been found, but were incidentally encountered by Yang Xiao during the apocalypse, who even became the Great Chief of the yetis.
There are many miraculous things in this world, and one should not doubt their existence simply because they haven’t been seen.
The little girl looked at Lan Xin and Yang Xiao.
Lan Xin was naturally beautiful, with an extraordinary presence, provoking in her a sense of admiration and heartfelt affection.
While starting from yesterday, Yang Xiao risked his life to save Miyamoto and the Giant Eagle, and today he once again braved dangers to rescue the Giant Eagle. Such actions also earned the admiration from the little girl.
If she put aside the hostile attitude, the little girl actually admired Yang Xiao’s sense of righteousness.
Now knowing that humans also faced the cataclysm of the apocalypse, the little girl realized that Yang Xiao and Lan Xin had also lost parents, siblings, and relatives, suddenly feeling a sense of shared suffering.
The killing aura of the little girl completely disappeared, turning into a naive and adorable child, with a touch of sadness.
The little girl briefly recounted the events that happened to the Dragon Clan.
"We, the Dragon Clan, have always lived in the depths of the ocean, far from the mundane world. But, about half a year ago, hundreds of Samurai dressed in water-repelling Fish Scale Armor and possessing superpowers came to the deep sea, and began hunting us, the Dragon Clan,
After a desperate struggle, we were no match for them. Many dragons were slaughtered, and many were captured. The entire ocean was stained red with blood. I was lucky; in the end, my father fought to the death to send me out, living me to hide at Shenlongjia and instructed me never to leave Shenlongjia easily unless he came for me..."
Having spoken, the little girl recalled the devastation of her Dragon Clan, nearly wiped out, and was overcome with grief, her tears flowing non-stop, sobbing with a choked voice.
Though this Giant Dragon possessed extraordinary divine skills, she was still just a child, bereft of her parents and loved ones, and had been living alone at Shenlongjia for half a year. She felt profoundly lonely in her heart.
Lan Xin walked over to her side and gently embraced the little girl.
The little girl suddenly flung herself into Lan Xin’s arms, hugging her and bursting into loud cries, like a lost child who had finally found her kin after great difficulty.
While Yang Xiao empathized with the Dragon Clan’s tragedy, he also watched bewilderedly as Lan Xin embraced the little girl:
"@#￥%"
There’s this move? Lan Xin’s gentle female strength is even more powerful than my damn Bronze Divine Sword! This must be the power of love!
Lan Xin held the little girl, comforting her as though she was her own younger sister, gently soothing her and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and at last, the little girl stopped crying.
"My name is Lan Xin. If you don’t mind, from now on, I can be your sister. How does that sound?"
The little girl immediately turned tears into laughter and said while holding onto Lan Xin’s hand:
"Lan Xin Sister, then it’s settled. From now on, you’re my sister, and you have to take care of me."
"Mm!"
Lan Xin nodded.
Yang Xiao thought to himself, the girl has struck it big at little cost, casually making a Divine Dragon her sister, so he said:
"Then I’m your brother now!"
The little girl glared at Yang Xiao, snorted, and said:
"You’re too ugly. I don’t want an ugly brother like you."
Yang Xiao: "..."
The little girl continued:
"Lan Xin Sister, when I find my own brother, you should marry him and become my sister-in-law. My brother is so handsome; he is the most handsome among all the Dragon Princes."
Yang Xiao: "@#￥%"
Damn it, didn’t manage to become her brother, and now my girl is being snatched away?
Even though Yang Xiao and Lan Xin haven’t officially become a couple, it’s still unacceptable for someone to just steal the beauty by his side, isn’t it?
