Stunned, Feng Ruqing stopped struggling as her body stiffened. She raised her head and stared straight at the black dragon before her.
Its eyes were as gentle as a stream of water.
“Previously, you were so omnipotent and had always been protecting me. When I finally got the chance to protect you, although you still have an unyielding spirit, your body was so weak that even a kid could hurt you.
“I can still remember that a kid had taken advantage of your poor health and wanted to push you down to the ground. Fortunately, I saw it. I rushed to save you and pushed him away. You are mine and no one can hurt you even the slightest bit.
“It was a pity that I was weak too. The parent of the kid came and wanted to kill me. It was you who held me tightly in your arms and shielded me with your own body from being beaten up to death. Even though I know that was just a dream, my heart was ripped apart. I wanted to kill all of them but I was afraid that I would bring you trouble.”
The black dragon’s eyes were blazing with murderous intent, but when it lowered its eyes to look at the lady in its embrace, its eyes were filled with gentleness and sorrow.
“Little Ninth, tell me. How can a dream be so heartbreaking? You left me even in my dream. I don’t want to lose you again. Hence, I have not taken a sip of water or a bite of food since. I want to wake up. Luckily, I was awake when I breathed my last in my dream. I am finally awake and I get to meet you! Little Ninth, you can never leave me again for the rest of my life!”

Feng Ruqing stroked the black dragon’s eyes, tears broke free from the corners of her eyes without her knowing it. However, the corner of her lips curved into a smile.
“Big Gray Doggie?”
“I am Big Black. Little Ninth, have you truly forgotten about me? That’s the name you gave me,” the black dragon said anxiously.
“Big Gray Doggie?”
“I am Big Black, not Big Gray Doggie. That was just a dream.”
“Big Gray Doggie,” Feng Ruqing said affirmatively.
Feng Ruqing put her arms around the black dragon and held it tightly in her arms.
‘That’s great! Che’er is here and now you are here too!’ The two people that she loved the most in Hua Xia were here.
“Brother Fu Chen, why is Mother crying?” Qing Han turned to look at Fu Chen as she pursed her lips together with a dull ache in her heart. She did not want to see Feng Ruqing crying.
‘Mother should smile, she must not cry.’
“I thought you don’t want to talk to me?” Fu Chen glanced at Qing Han.
“Oh, I have forgotten to do that.” Qing Han was slightly startled.
Swoosh!
A glimmer of cold light flashed. The black dragon tugged Feng Ruqing in his embrace and turned his back to the light sword. His eyes were icy cold.
The light sword pierced through the black dragon’s skin and blood started to ooze from the cut. Feeling the stinging pain, the black dragon merely frowned but did not move the slightest. It was because there was someone in its embrace that it had wanted to protect for its whole life. The one it had yearned and loved for years.
Before Mu Yong threw another wave of attack, Jiu Ming had rushed past everyone and stood before Feng Ruqing in a blink of an eye.
The aura emitted from the sword vanished without a trace as soon as Jiu Ming appeared. A peaceful silence was finally restored to the world.
“Who are you?”
“You want to go against the Mu family of Tian Shen Manor?” Mu Yong stared coldly at Jiu Ming as he snarled. His face darkened a few shades.
‘The Mu family…’
Hearing the two words, a sense of cruelness glinted in Feng Ruqing’s eyes. She stared coldly at Mu Yong.
She could still remember that someone from the Mu family had proposed an arranged marriage and wanted her to be the concubine of the Mu family’s young master.
