Chapter 44 The True Dragon Descends
Cheng Xiao has begun to doubt the reality of these worlds.
Although the world is all-encompassing, what separates him from it is not just the distance between planes, but even the distance of spacetime.
Otherwise, why would he find traces of the female protagonist from the first instance in the second instance?
Even her cultivation level had reached the Nascent Soul stage.
"I don't know," Hakimi replied crisply.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, it was within Cheng Xiao's expectations.
After all, this consciousness born from the system seems to have no use other than giving him pointers on how to win over the female lead.
If there's anything special about it, it's probably that a few jokes from my hometown occasionally pop up.
He hadn't heard anyone say that in a long time.
"The moment I opened my eyes, all I knew was that my mission was to help you win over the heroine, complete the mission, and increase her affection level..."
Cheng Xiao interrupted Hakimi directly: "Alright, I understand."
It seems there are some things, some secrets, that he still needs to uncover himself.
Long Yingxue carried Cheng Xiao as they soared through the sky. Before long, a huge mansion appeared in the distance.
She shortened the journey that would normally take several days to complete to the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"We're back," Long Yingxue transmitted to Cheng Xiao using her divine sense.
"Yes, we're back."
......
The New Year has finally arrived on the Cangling Continent.
Whether they were poor or rich, everyone was looking forward to this day.
Every New Year is a grand occasion, with everyone starting preparations a month or even two months in advance.
Getting married is no exception.
Now the entire Cheng family is present in the main urban area of the city.
The atmosphere was noisy everywhere.
As the largest family in the area, the Cheng family hosts the annual hunting festival, and today is the day of the festival.
During this festival, the rich can participate in the hunt to prove their strength to the people of the city, while the poor and those without cultivation cannot participate in the hunt, but they can still share in many benefits.
Many impoverished families are even waiting for these benefits to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
The Cheng family holds this event every year. This grand event is not only to showcase the Cheng family's heritage, but also to bring the leaders of each generation of the Cheng family to the forefront in front of the public.
Today, they are announcing to the entire city the rise of a new generation of geniuses in their family.
Cheng Xian rode a fourth-tier spirit beast, the Purple Flame Unicorn, and walked proudly at the front of the group.
He deliberately released his spiritual power, exuding a powerful aura, and enjoyed the worship and praise of countless onlookers on both sides of the road.
"As expected of the young master of the Cheng family! To have such cultivation at such a young age!"
"With the Cheng family's future spanning the next hundred years, they are destined to dominate this Cangling Continent!"
"As expected of an old and established family, their heritage is truly profound. I heard that the ancestor of the Cheng family is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"..."
As soon as Chengxian appeared, the people below began to flatter him.
Their voices were very loud, clearly intended for Cheng Wanshan, who was in the main seat, to hear.
Listening to these insincere flatteries, Cheng Wanshan, sitting in the main seat on the high platform, was beaming with pride and felt a surge of heroic spirit.
Sitting next to him, Li Mu was dressed in his finest attire and couldn't stop smiling.
Even though her son was walking in front, even though her own son had run away from home and his fate was unknown, she seemed to care about nothing at all.
The way he looked at Sung-hyun was more like the way he looked at his own son.
At this point, the sacrificial ceremony to the heavens before the hunting festival had reached its most enthusiastic climax.
After the ceremony, everyone will go out of the city to hunt, led by Cheng Jia.
Cheng Wanshan stood up, raised his wine glass, and was about to announce the army's departure.
Just as the bugle call to depart sounded, a deafening piercing shriek suddenly echoed through the sky.
Everyone immediately covered Re Duo's face, not knowing what had happened.
Immediately afterwards, the previously cloudless sky darkened.
Cheng Jiaming clearly chose a sunny day, but now it looks like it's going to rain.
Before anyone could react, another dragon roar followed, high-pitched and carrying the unique pressure of the dragon race.
To the astonishment of everyone present, the originally sturdy protective barrier suddenly cracked open and shattered on the spot, turning into a shower of light.
It should be noted that the wilderness of the Cangling Continent is extremely dangerous, with many spirit beasts gathering there. This city-protecting formation is their greatest reliance, and it can even withstand a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
But now it has been breached.
Everyone was in shock.
They looked up in alarm, wanting to see what had happened.
A dragon, hundreds of feet long and covered in silvery-white scales, was flying rapidly toward the city!
The golden sunlight made her scales shimmer, and the crystal-clear dragon horns on her head exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
As they got closer, the dragon's oppressive aura was released without reservation.
In just a moment, the spirit beasts that were still moving around in the training ground seemed to feel a fear deep in their blood.
The purple flame unicorn that Cheng Xian was riding on let out a mournful cry, its legs went weak, and it lost control of its bladder, its foul-smelling liquid flowing all over the ground.
Not only it, but tens of thousands of spirit beasts throughout the city collapsed to the ground, trembling, unable to even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
With a loud bang, Yingxue's massive body landed directly in the center of the training ground.
The violent airflow instantly overturned the surrounding viewing platform. The thick dragon claw landed and crushed dozens of high-level spirit beasts that couldn't dodge in time into mincemeat, and the blood instantly stained the ground red.
The city's guards and Cheng family's elite troops were instantly thrown into chaos.
They all drew their weapons, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone was trembling and kept pushing back, not daring to go forward at all.
They couldn't understand why the dragons, who were always arrogant and kept to themselves, had launched a large-scale attack on human cities in the past few hundred years.
Cheng Wanshan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He emerged from the ruins with a smile, asking in as gentle a tone as possible, "May I ask which dragon lord has descended? Is my family perhaps offended in any way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the forced good expression on his face instantly crumbled, and the brick was replaced by even greater anger.
Of course, besides anger, his face showed even more shock.
Because he saw that the terrifying dragon actually nodded on its own initiative, and a white figure slowly leaped down from the dragon's head.
The person who came down was dressed in white and had an upright posture.
Cheng Wanshan was all too familiar with that face.
Just six months ago, he had thrown the unruly Cheng Xiao into the Spirit Beast Garden, waiting for this good-for-nothing to submit on his own.
But six months later, he not only killed people in the Cheng family and emptied their coffers, but even the experts he sent to capture him were all killed.
Now he's even more arrogant, causing trouble at the hunting festival hosted by the Cheng family!
He had planned to wait until the hunting festival ended before taking action to kill the rebellious son, but he never expected that the son would walk right into his trap.
Many members of the Cheng family present recognized him as the eldest son of the Cheng family.
In their minds, he was just a good-for-nothing waiting to die in the Spirit Beast Garden.
Now they are completely different people.
Cheng Xiao landed on the ground and said to everyone present, "Why didn't you invite me, the eldest young master, to such a grand celebration at the Cheng family? If you didn't invite me, I had no choice but to come by myself."
