Nan Lingsha fell into a brief contemplation.
She carefully savored the words her grandmother had said before her departure.
Perhaps Zhu Minglang’s guess was correct.
Her grandmother was worried that people from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent had discovered the Ancestral Dragon’s secret and she herself might suffer persecution as a result, which was why she was so eager for her to leave.
Thankfully, however, the Ancestral Dragon City-State was still intact. She could find out what had happened when she returned and asked her grandmother.
Ancestral Dragon…
Ancestral Dragon City.
What exactly is this world like?
Nan Lingsha, too, started to feel somewhat lost.
She didn’t speak any further.
Instead, she slowly walked forward.
A sense of tiredness washed over her, and as she stepped into layer upon layer of mist, it was as if she were sinking into a dream woven from white clouds, becoming ever more deeply ensnared.
The Immortal Rabbit Dragon beside Nan Lingsha had been joyfully admiring the beautiful scenery of the Dragon Country among the clouds.
But suddenly, a vortex of Spiritual Power appeared on its body, sweeping the reluctant Immortal Rabbit Dragon into it.
Soon, the Chi Dragon also inexplicably got wrapped into a spontaneously opened Spirit Realm. In an instant, Nan Lingsha was left alone by her side.
She walked through the white, enchanting fog on foot, her eyes rippling with thoughts until they gradually became calm and clear.
Behind her, Zhu Minglang hastened his pace once more. He had just discussed the matter again with Mr. Jinli and felt that, regardless, he should take the opportunity to visit the Ancestral Dragon City-State again. If there truly were Ancestral Dragon Ruins, it would be very worthwhile to search for them.
Although many dragon species have continuously merged over the passing of years and evolved into more powerful dragons with the abilities of the Azure Dragon, Ancient Dragon, and Giant Dragon, due to nature’s selection, some dragons of the great wilderness and eternal past had vanished from the world. Their formidable power was once on par with the Gods, and naturally, acquiring the Ancestral Dragon’s inheritance or secret techniques would greatly enhance one’s strength.
“Miss Lingsha, how did your grandmother impart the Divine Consort inheritance to you?” Zhu Minglang continued to ask.
“I’m not familiar with her,” Nan Lingsha answered.
“???” Zhu Minglang was puzzled.
Hadn’t she just mentioned that her grandmother admonished her not to summon her dragon in front of strangers?
It was clear that her grandmother cared a great deal about Nan Lingsha; otherwise, why would she protect her in such a manner?
“What about the matter of the Divine Consort…” Zhu Minglang went on to ask.
“I don’t know,” Nan Lingsha responded indifferently.
“But only descendants of the goddess can control dragons of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline,” Zhu Minglang said, furrowing his brow.
“What Ancestral Dragon?” Nan Lingsha finally stopped and turned her head to ask.
Zhu Minglang slightly opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on Nan Lingsha for a long time.
Could it be…
Zhu Minglang felt somewhat unwilling to give up, and so pointed towards Mr. Jinli swimming nearby and said, “Mr. Jinli can vouch for us, we were just discussing the matter of the Ancestral Dragon.”
Nan Lingsha glanced at Mr. Jinli.
But Mr. Jinli’s large fish eyes turned towards Zhu Minglang, equally perplexed as it said, “What Ancestral Dragon?”
Zhu Minglang stood frozen in place, his expression rigid as if he’d stepped into a frigid arctic and been instantly immobilized!
Oh no.
Is communication completely breaking down!!
Where’s the rabbit, where did that rabbit go…
It was just here a moment ago, how could it have disappeared so suddenly—it could vouch for me too!
Facing the interrogative stares of Nan Lingsha and Mr. Jinli, Zhu Minglang finally couldn’t bear being treated like a patient any longer and forced a smile, “Nothing, nothing. I just miss the comfortable life in the Ancestral Dragon City-State, and I miss the Dragon Taming Academy.”
Only then did Nan Lingsha stop minding it, and she continued to move forward, serene and composed, while also meticulously admiring the unique scenery of this Cloud Dragon Country.
Zhu Minglang sighed.
He felt a touch of melancholy in his heart.
He really was something else.
Why did he have to let Mr. Jinli bear witness?
However, Zhu Minglang’s eyes from time to time were drawn to Nan Lingsha’s retreating figure.
The Dragon Capital had disappeared.
The Immortal Rabbit Dragon just now.
And that Chi Dragon.
“Do you want to paint? I could use a break. Oh, and my Big Black Tooth was injured in the fight just now, can you help me heal it?” Zhu Minglang asked Nan Lingsha.
“I can’t,” Nan Lingsha refused, and took out her inkbrush to paint amidst the lingering clouds.
Those clouds, like suspended granita, were depicted by Nan Lingsha’s brush as a white sand painting, effortlessly outlining the ethereal land of the Cloud Dragon Country, showcasing her rich imagination.
Zhu Minglang’s gaze was deep.
He whispered to Mr. Jinli beside him, “Can a person be both a Dragon Trainer and possess the Divine and Mortal art simultaneously?”
“No,” Mr. Jinli answered with certainty.
“Her dragon is gone, which means her painter’s Divine and Mortal art and the Art of Dragon Shepherd cannot manifest at the same time,” Zhu Minglang mused to himself.
“She has a dragon???” Mr. Jinli exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“An Error Beast Dragon and a Chilodon,” Zhu Minglang said.
“An Aberrant Beast? I never imagined this world would… ”
“Alright, alright, you go wander nearby.” Zhu Minglang nearly spit out foam, Mr. Jinli’s condition today was extremely severe.
Zhu Minglang found a cloud cluster and sat upon it. The soft cloud fluff was even more comfortable than some of the cushioned benches covered with fur.
It was a good opportunity to feed his dragon, especially the Saint Fruit of the Cloud Platform Mother Tree. He would use his Spiritual Power to help it digest the previous Spiritual Objects before feeding it the Holy Fruit, perhaps Little White could evolve to the Complete Period very soon.
While feeding, resting, and also appreciating Nan Lingsha’s focused painting, Zhu Minglang thought that instead of figuring out the Ancestral Dragon Ruins, he might as well understand the woman before him first.
In the initial period when she entered the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, Nan Lingsha would put on an act, at least she would just make him think she had a poor memory.
But gradually, she stopped disguising her behaviour.
And after the matters of the Ancestral Dragon City-State were fully resolved, she seemed to have discarded her concerns and summoned her dragons in front of him.
Even though Zhu Minglang was aware of an Aberrant Beast’s existence and its ability to heal others, he had never seen a Chilodon before.
This Chilodon was extremely powerful, even able to injure the Male Holy Candle Dragon in such a short time—that meant Elder Sword Sovereign hadn’t lied to him.
She indeed was a Dragon Shepherd, and her strength was at Monarch Level.
As for her temperament…
Zhu Minglang also had a rough estimate.
As a painter, her focus was was undivided, calm, and refined, seemingly only pursuing a higher realm in painting, indifferent to everything else.
As a Dragon Shepherd, she was coquettish and capricious, and if he wasn’t mistaken, it was her who impersonated Li Yunzi and repeatedly created scandals for him at the Dragon Taming Academy.
