Yu Longting arched his brows coldly and irritably, "Get lost."
"But my grandfather is still in his hands," Bai Zanhe bit her lower lip tightly.
Watching the Great Demon King Yu grow ominously, like a monster from a horror movie, it was almost tear-inducingly scary, I shook Yu Longting's arm, "For the sake of the fact that you and Xuanjing grew up together, and on Dragon Dad's face, don't be utterly ruthless."
"Dragon Dad?" Yu Longting's expression softened, as he easily cleared the mist and broke into a smile.
I was so mesmerized that I stared at him for a long time.
Yu Longting just patiently gazed at me, and I scratched my head, my face a blend of embarrassment and eagerness, "Calling him 'Your Majesty' like Xuanjing does is too silly, it's dead early in the morning! 'Dragon God' is too distant! Calling him... perhaps 'Dragon Dad' is more fitting, both warm and proper."
The main reason I pleaded for Xuanjing in front of Yu Longting was because I had just found out that Yu Longting and Xuanjing had always been childhood friends, pfft, besties.
Turns out Xuanjing was practically raised by Yu Longting's father and was an old fox even older than Yu Longting.
Secondly, it was because Bai Zanhe's grandfather was in Xuanjing's hands, provoking Xuanjing might inevitably lead to a no-win situation.
Otherwise, given the deep hatred between me and Xuanjing, there really was no reason to spare him.
"Calling me Dragon Dad is good, I really nickname," Yu Longting, pleased, supported my waist and lifted me off the ground, holding me like one would hold a child, "This is for you."
Since there was no one else in the cave, I didn't resist this embarrassing hug too much, and I took the pure white Fixed Water Pearl that Yu Longting handed to me, "Hey, this... it's an inner core." Googlᴇ search Nove1Fire.net
An inner core is the origin of a demon beast, upon touch one can feel the heartbeat's rhythm, mirroring the Small Heavenly Cycle circulating within one's Qi Sea.
"This is the only relic left by my father; it can control the winds, tides, and rains," Yu Longting walked toward the depths of the cave.
I felt something was off, thought for a moment, and realized, "The Dragon Scale you gave to Xuanjing, isn't that a relic of Dragon Dad?"
"That's my scale; I was tricking him," Yu Longting said lightly.
The corner of my lips twitched involuntarily, "You used your own scale to deceive Xuanjing into thinking it was a relic from Dragon Dad? Then... wouldn't Xuanjing go mad if he found out?"
"A Snake Scale can only store sound for single use; he wouldn't dare to activate the Snake Scale to hear the old man's last words. How could he find out?" Yu Longting was brimming with confidence.
Really... so scheming...
Calculative... blatantly... decisively...
In front of this scheming Black Snake, Xuanjing was merely a naive little rabbit.
At the deepest part of the cave, there was a huge square altar.
It was guarded by four imposing Divine Beasts on all sides, with various spells carved on the ground—Mystic Thunder, Ice Sky, Earth Fire, Wind Rain…
Yu Longting pushed the Fixed Water Pearl in his hand towards the center of the altar; it rolled along the unseen barrier in the air and finally settled atop the Formation," Who would have thought, two months ago, Xuanjing had stolen the old man's coffin, and Beichen and I only discovered it recently."
"So, you mean Xuanjing stole Dragon Dad's coffin, took the Fixed Water Pearl from inside it, and placed it on this Formation to pray for rain." Although Yu Longting didn't spell it out for me, I understood that this altar was used to control the weather in the vicinity.
No wonder Yu Longting said the coffin had been stolen two months ago, this place has been raining for two months straight.
Suddenly, I felt as though someone had struck my skull hard, and amidst the pain and dizziness, a man's voice gently spoke in my mind, "I'm male, forget Fairy Sister; call me Celestial Brother."
What... Celestial Brother... why would he call himself Celestial...?
Who exactly is he...?
No, he's Dragon Dad!!
I... I seem to have met Dragon Dad before...
