Yamaguchi Mura Chicken was over the moon when he received a reply from Mei Magogoko. His affection for her, once shattered, now rekindled and grew even stronger.
What a wonderful girl.
The moment she heard he was in trouble, she set out from Sakura Island's No. 6 Novice Village without a second thought, unwilling to waste even a moment.
Sure enough, Mei Magogoko still loved him deeply.
What happened in the livestream with those seven or eight players was nothing but an accident.
She just wanted to survive better, and to meet him!
"Yoshi! Only two more hours until I can get back into the game. This time, I swear, I'll find a good hiding spot. I won't let those damn monsters kill me again!"
Mei Magogoko is still waiting for him!
At this moment, Yamaguchi Mura Chicken was filled with determination.
...
Silvermoon Forest, Dragon's Lair.
A full day and night had passed.
The tremors on Su Nian's body gradually subsided, but he still showed no sign of waking up.
Anna had already counted the scales on Su Nian's body twice.
There were exactly 14,785 black dragon scales. Some pale red scales growing together with the barbs weren't included, mainly because they were hard to count—she could only estimate.
As she counted, she also wiped, polishing the black dragon's scales until they shone. In the end, she even wove a tiny pink flower wreath and placed it on the black dragon's huge head.
"Hehe, so cute~"
"Big brother, when will you wake up? Anna really misses you..."
With nothing else to do, Anna rested her chin on her hands and lay beside the black dragon, her adorable peach blossom eyes gazing at the sleeping dragon, filled with longing and affection.
In just two days, the black dragon's body had swelled up like a balloon.
At first, Anna could barely hug the dragon's head with both arms. Now, even hugging half of it was a struggle.
At night, after the rain, a cold, damp wind blew into the cave.
The chilly wind howled through.
Anna shivered and snuggled into Su Nian's embrace.
"Will big brother catch a cold? It's so cold..."
She sniffled and stroked the black dragon's scales.
They felt a bit icy.
So she crawled out of Su Nian's embrace and dragged over the bear skin mat.
"Big brother is so big, but the mat is so small."
Anna tilted her head, thought for a moment, and finally draped the bear skin mat over the black dragon's massive head.
"Mom said, if your head gets cold at night, you'll catch a cold, and if your belly gets cold, you'll get sick."
"Anna will curl up next to big brother's belly to protect it, so we only need to cover his head. Hehe~"
Her innocent whispers echoed in the empty cave, then gradually faded into silence.
Anna had curled up beside the black dragon and fallen asleep.
With his head half-covered by the brown bear skin mat, the black dragon looked a bit comical.
He no longer had his usual fierce and majestic appearance. Instead, he looked like a bride about to enter the bridal chamber.
But this embarrassing scene was witnessed by no one.
Only the stars, peeking through the clouds, smiled down, silently recording this moment.
...
Unaware of everything happening outside, Su Nian remained deep in slumber.
His dragon inheritance was nearing its end, entering the final stage—the inheritance of Draconic Rhetoric.
Yet, during this process, something unexpected happened. Not only did he awaken part of his magical powers, but a mysterious force also pulled him into an unknown space.
It was a world built entirely from purple crystal.
Before Su Nian lay a massive pink dragon, her sapphire eyes bright and deep, like a calm lake or the clear summer sky.
Su Nian sensed a connection.
This beautiful dragon was his ancestor.
Connie Naeolid Wotru Stupak.
Compared to her, his ten-meter-long body seemed minuscule. One of Connie's wings could probably cover half a city.
"You..."
[You carry the blood of me and him... very pure.]
No sound came, but the giant dragon's gaze was gentle as she lay quietly. Yet Su Nian could clearly sense her will in his mind.
[I will grant you a unique inheritance. Survive, and drive them out of the land that belonged to me and him.]
A purple crystal condensed before the dragon and floated to Su Nian.
Then, everything shattered like glass struck by a baseball.
Su Nian was hurled out by a powerful force.
It felt like he'd been kicked.
"Uh..."
Su Nian was stunned. His ancestor was certainly eccentric.
She dragged him in on a whim, gave her instructions, and then just left—without even explaining what was inside that purple crystal.
"I guess 'they' means the players... Honestly, I would have driven them out anyway."
Su Nian scratched his claws and cautiously approached the purple crystal.
The crystal glowed with a soft purple light, mysterious and alluring.
What the heck is this?
Su Nian instinctively felt he should swallow it.
Normally, as a cautious dragon, he should just toss the crystal away.
But his ancestor would never harm him.
Su Nian could sense the pink dragon's kindness and warmth.
So, without hesitation, Su Nian raised a claw and crushed the purple crystal.
Hmph, as a powerful mutant dragon with a system, all unsafe factors must be eliminated at the source. What if his ancestor tried to possess him?
But Su Nian was overthinking it.
For some powerful beings, if they want to give you something, you'll take it whether you want to or not—just like Su Nian at this moment.
After the crystal was crushed, it turned into a streak of purple light and shot into Su Nian's body with a whoosh.
