My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 31

The dragon’s body really was hot.

Xu Zhiyi even began to worry a little.

Wasn’t Master an ice spiritual root? Why was her body so hot? Could it be because her spirit-beast contract had taken effect?

Or was there some other reason?

Her mind filled with wild guesses, and Xu Zhiyi’s heart grew uneasy. If it really was because of her… then wouldn’t she have to take responsibility?

She patted both cheeks with her hands.

Before she could make up her mind, she heard a soft sound at the door. It seemed someone was standing outside and knocking.

Xu Zhiyi was so frightened that she jolted. She quickly hid the little dragon on the table in her hand and stuffed her into her sleeve.

She coughed lightly twice, pretending nothing had happened.

When she walked to the door, she could see a vague figure outside. It was probably… a junior sister.

This was only a nominal disciple of Shuanghan Peak, one who had been uniformly recruited and assigned by the sect.

To put it nicely, she could also be counted as Lord Hanshan’s disciple. But everyone knew in their hearts that at most, she was only a disciple of Shuanghan Peak.

She did not have much to do with Lord Hanshan herself.

Xu Zhiyi opened the door, and sure enough, a plainly dressed little girl stood outside, holding out a letter.

What was going on today? Why were there so many letters?

But it probably was not sent by that demonic cultivator who had written to her before. After all, there was no pigeon flying past the window.

She was getting paranoid.

She stepped out with one foot.

“Senior Sister Xu… this is a letter from Blazing Flame Peak.”

The young disciple respectfully presented it.

Xu Zhiyi frowned and pointed at herself with her finger, not very willing to believe it.

“For me?”

Please, she did not want to hear the words “Blazing Flame Peak” at all right now, okay?

It was practically a disaster.

“Mm… It is for Senior Sister Xu.”

As if afraid of being beaten, the young disciple quickly handed the letter over, then turned and ran. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the thick flowers in the courtyard.

“Hey, don’t run so fast, all right…”

Now Xu Zhiyi really suspected this letter might be poisoned!

So Xu Zhiyi, who was afraid of pain, quickly recited a spell in her heart and stacked a defensive buff on herself. Then she let out a long sigh, carrying the feeling of “the wind blows bleakly over the Yi River; once the warrior leaves, he shall never return.”

She opened the letter.

Only a few large characters were written on it in a vigorous, sweeping hand.

Xu Zhiyi, after the competition ends, shall we fight again? —Ji Ming

Why was it this person again? This was truly like being trapped in a ghost wall.

A loss was a loss. A win was a win.

Frowning, she folded the letter. She would wait until Master woke up before discussing this matter.

She did not know when Master would wake.

The increasingly scorching heat of Master’s body caught Xu Zhiyi somewhat off guard. The temperature of Master’s dragon body was getting higher and higher. If she did not cool down soon… she wouldn’t really be cooked alive, would she?

After staying here for some time, Xu Zhiyi had basically read all the miscellaneous books in order to integrate herself into the cultivation world.

The records about the dragon race in the books were vague, ambiguous, and practically nonexistent.

So… Xu Zhiyi could only act according to her own feelings. Forget it, she would treat a dead horse as a living one and try.

Since dragons were born between heaven and earth,

they probably were not that easy to kill.

Afraid that she might pinch too tightly and crush Master in her hand… Xu Zhiyi quickly cupped her hands and walked all the way toward the back courtyard.

The little dragon was still lying softly in her hand without much change. She was limp, but Xu Zhiyi’s palm could feel the rise and fall of the little dragon’s breathing.

That barely let her feel at ease.

This place counted as her private territory. No one would disturb her here.

Xu Zhiyi herself rarely came over either. She only occasionally remembered that there were still a few carp in the pond, so she would come over and scatter a few handfuls of fish food to keep the carp from starving to death.

She was a cultivator and did not need to eat, but the carp in the pond still had to eat, didn’t they? She could not favor one and neglect the other.

She looked around. He Fengyue and Xiao Ling had long since disappeared. Xu Zhiyi let out a long breath. She did not know why she breathed a sigh of relief, but she simply wanted to.

She really did not understand what kind of interest those two had, coming to her courtyard… to have an affair.

These were the female lead and second female lead.

This world had truly gone completely out of order. It was like a mouse becoming a bridesmaid for a cat.

Walking to the edge of the pond, Xu Zhiyi crouched down and touched the pond water with her finger. It was not particularly cold.

If she put Master inside… would she drown?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi shook her head again. How could that be possible? Master was a dragon. How could a dragon drown in water?

That was simply the greatest joke under heaven.

But the moment Xu Zhiyi soaked her palm into the pond water, she still released the command of the spirit-beast contract. In that instant,

the white dragon soaked in the pond water, with half of her tail still sticking out. The carp were frightened and quickly swam to the side.

The plump koi squeezed together in a group, pushing and shoving each other, not daring to disturb the pond’s new resident.

Water droplets slid down the scales, falling one by one onto the path with a pattering sound. The dragon kept snorting softly, and her enormous head rose from the pond water.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at Xu Zhiyi.

Her golden beast pupils were incomparably beautiful.

Perhaps because of the instinctive reaction of her body, Xu Zhiyi was frightened into a daze for a moment. The giant dragon’s breath swept past, lifting the loose strands of hair that had fallen beside her face and blowing them aside.

It was somewhat warm.

Their eyes met. Xu Zhiyi stood frozen in place, one hand covering her chest. Oh no. Her heart seemed to be out of control.

She could not calm down.

A lot of pond water sliding off the dragon’s body splashed onto Xu Zhiyi’s face. And at that moment, a wave of scorching white mist drifted past her cheek.

Immediately afterward, a faintly visible human figure appeared in the pond, leaning among the lotus flowers, soaked all over.

Silver hair fell over her shoulders. Her smooth shoulders were half-covered by lotus leaves, pale skin meeting fresh green. Xu Zhiyi stared for quite a while before finally reacting.

Master…! Master had actually changed back from dragon form into human form.

The rims of Xu Zhiyi’s ears instantly turned red. She hurriedly covered her eyes with her palms. Inwardly, she lifted her head forty-five degrees toward the sky and shed tears of remorse. She really had not meant to peep.

She had simply been too worried that her master would be burned alive by the heat.

Please, she was not a dragon. She knew nothing about dragons.

She could only rely on her own instincts.

Behind her, An Chengxi leaned against the stone wall at the edge of the pond. It was icy cold. Only then did An Chengxi’s reason fully return. Her heart was filled with vexation.

She raised her hand from the pond water. Quite a few koi were still circling around her. She used her fingers to part the wet hair stuck to her face.

She wore nothing, only sinking into the pond water.

“Yi’er… you saw everything?”

“Are you afraid of me…?”

She could not control the dragon race’s instinctive desires, so she could only blindly suppress them, forcing herself not to think and refusing contact. But that formation had completely broken through her boundaries.

She propped a hand against her forehead. Her mind was still burning, and she could not sort out her thoughts at all.
