Li Moyun's eyes narrowed as he noticed the respect that these three experts held towards Xiao Long.
Their respect was not fake, even their eyes were shining with reverence, and the enthusiasm they held was overwhelming as they stared at the tiny dragon body.
Xiao Long was somewhat surprised when he noticed these hot eyes that were staring at him with no attempt made at hiding the gaze.
The tiny body of the dragon moved closer to the neck of Li Moyun. The nervous behavior of the tiny dragon made these three experts finally notice the figure that was holding him.
The leader of the group could not help but frown as he looked at Li Moyun. The instinctive reaction of Xiao Long showed that he relied on this human a lot, but Xiao Long was not an ordinary beast.
For him to bond with a human was truly an embarrassment that these experts could not accept.
"Who are you?" The leader of the group glared at Li Moyun as if he was an evil man who had kidnapped a little child.
Li Moyun felt somewhat embarrassed. He had indeed felt rather guilty when the egg had attacked him, and left Bai Rouyun behind, but since he had accepted this little beast, he would protect Xiao Long with his life.
"I am Li Moyun." Even though he was rather cautious when looking at these experts, he was not impolite. He had understood that the respect within the eyes of these three experts was completely sincere, so he hoped that they would not cause too much trouble.
The leading expert was examining Li Moyun. Although they had never met one another before, the obvious disdain within the leader's eyes was enough to make Li Moyun's expression sink.
It was natural that the experts from Wushi Continent looked down upon those that came from here, but it was so apparent that he could not help but take offense.
Xiao Long also noticed the apparent dislike in the eyes of the experts, and his initial impression of them sunk to the lowest point.
Although the little dragon was aware that his identity was noble, he would never let anyone insult his master.
From as far back as Xiao Long could remember, he was floating around deep within impenetrable darkness.
It was lonely and cold, his mind was muddled, and he did not understand what was happening. However, suddenly, a ray of light had appeared within the darkness. A familiar scent had washed over him, giving him a sense of familiarity.
This ray of light and the scent were enough to give him a feeling of belonging. When the light increased in strength, Xiao Long finally managed to break out of his shell, and the first thing he noticed was Li Moyun.
He, who had been hidden in the darkness for so long, suddenly felt as if he had found his savior. There was an instinctive pull on his soul that made him wish to be close to Li Moyun, and the longer time they spent together, the more certain he was of his own feelings. Li Moyun was the most sacred person in his world.
These experts had looked down upon him, and thus they had caused his anger to rise. He could not accept anyone looking down on his master. Even if his current strength was not enough to be considered strong in the Wushi Continent, he still had a holy identity as his master, the master of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
The experts from the Wushi Continent were naturally much more sensitive than anyone in the Innate Realm, and they could instantly sense the displeasure that was present in both Li Moyun and Xiao Long.
While they did not care much for Li Moyun's feelings, they could not help but frown when they noticed the unhappy expression on the little dragon's face.
"Your Highness, we are here for the sake of bringing you back to the Wushi Continent."
Being unable to understand the thoughts of Xiao Long, the leader decided to take the initiative to state their purpose. Unfortunately, the little dragon did not display any sort of excitement or happiness. Instead, it seemed even more unhappy.
Seeing the increasingly darkening face, the three experts felt somewhat panicked. They were Elders in the Golden Dragon Clan, Dao Protectors to be more precise, and they had been waiting ten thousand years for the birth of their King.
Who would have thought that when they finally located him, he was no longer interested in them, but instead protected a person whom they deemed to be no better than an ant?
"Your Highness?" The leader could not help but clear his throat as he looked at Xiao Long, waiting for him to speak, but the cute little dragon just snorted, as he hid his face in Li Moyun's neck, pretending to be a cute pet.
He did not care for his image. It was indeed true that he was a revered creature, but in fact, he was much more proud of his position as Li Moyun's beast companion than being some king of the dragons.
The three experts felt helpless as they looked at the cute appearance of Xiao Long. They had waited for so many years, and during this time, they had naturally imagined the domineering and fierce appearance of their King when they found him again, but what they found was very different from their expectations.
This cute little dragon did not seem intimidating at all. Had they perhaps recognized the wrong master?
However, upon closer examination, they did see that the tiny dragon in front of them was golden, and he did indeed have five claws on each leg.
