Chapter 178 - Golden Dragon Clan
Qin Huiling looked down at the table and a gentle smile surfaced on her lips. She could tell what this approval meant to Mo Chu, and seeing him so emotional made her feel happy.
She did not know much of the background of the three people in front of her, but she had never asked either. She understood that they came from the cultivation world, and that they were not someone that an ordinary citizen like her could normally mingle with, but due to the twists and turns of reality, she had become a friend to them.
She knew that she would benefit greatly from this relationship, but this was not the reason for her to wholeheartedly treat them well.
She had not forgotten that when she reached Canglan City for the first time, she had been hungry and tired, but had nowhere to rest or eat. In the end, it was Bai Rouyun who took her in, and gave her food and shelter.
It was also Bai Rouyun who helped her time and time again, never asking for anything in return. Knowing that her personality was so kind, Qin Huiling had long since begun respecting her sincerely, and wished to progress alongside her.
In her eyes, Li Moyun was indeed brilliant and powerful, but the reason she followed them was Bai Rouyun and Mo Chu. Those two had treated her with such sincerity and gentleness that she wanted to repay gratitude. She also felt comfortable being alongside Bai Rouyun, and did not wish to leave her behind.
Qin Huiling was realistic. She knew that the two of them would not be able to stay together forever. Bai Rouyun had been weaker than her when they had first met, but she had already overtaken her cultivation base, and in the future, the gap would only grow more and more apparent.
Even so, she wished to stay by her side as long as possible. She wanted to be able to look back at the time they spent together with happiness, and one day, when Bai Rouyun was dominating the world, she would be able to say that she was once her friend with pride.
Even though the gap between the two of them was increasing, and although Qin Huiling easily could tell that Bai Rouyun was much more outstanding than her, there was no jealousy.
She felt a slight envy, but this envy never turned negative. In her opinion, everything that Bai Rouyun had was the result of her hard work. Others were not entitled to try and take it away from her.
In a way, both her and Little Chu were remarkably similar. They were the type of person who would bury every gratitude that was given them in their hearts, and slowly guard the person as they progressed.
They did not use words to display their emotions but actions.
The four did not speak much, as they each were deep in thought, feeling a myriad of emotions. Instead, they were slowly, but elegantly, consuming the dishes on the table.
Xiao Long also came out from within the contractor space, and began to happily gobble down dish after dish.
Seeing the small dragon, they all laughed and felt rather amused. While Mo Chu was aware that it was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Qin Huiling was unaware of it, and was under the impression that it was merely a subpar dragon bloodline.
Dragons were horrifying creatures, and their strength could not be belittled. For a dragon with a pure bloodline to appear on this continent was already impossible, so she did never connect the dragon with its real race.
While the group was enjoying their meals in the restaurant, a somber mood had appeared in the Golden Dragon Clan on the Wushi Continent.
Located in a mountain range, where the beautiful tall peaks stood proudly pointing towards the sky, the soft clouds gently wrapped the peaks in their soft curtain, and the gentle sound of bells could be heard in the air was one of the strongest factions within the Wushi Continent.
This faction was the Golden Dragon Clan. It was a clan that did not accept any outsiders. Every member of this clan were Golden Dragons, and they were extremely haughty, as their bloodline was the purest within the entire Wushi Continent.
They were the real overlords, they could dominate the entire continent, but at the current point in time, it was not a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that was spread around the city that had been created by the Golden Dragons.
While the majority of the dragons did not know what was happening, the tense and stifling air was enough to make them feel bad. They dared not say anything, and they all slowly returned to their own homes before the Elders gathered in the discussion room.
"I heard that our King has hatched from the egg." The first to speak was the patriarch of the Golden Dragon Clan. He was a Four-Clawed Dragon, which was already extremely difficult to come across, but he knew that one day, the King would return to their side.
"Yes, he hatched on a lower plane." The one who answered was a rather youthful-looking young man.
"Are you interested in him returning so that you will be obligated to return the power you have accumulated over the past many centuries?"
The truth was that these dragons were not sure of their own emotions. The King of the Golden Dragons was the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. He had been oppressive and powerful, but due to an accident, he had died.
But before his death, the Dragon King had changed his body, and turned himself into an egg.
He was unsure how many years it would take to recuperate, but the Dragon King was patient.
The current patriarch was the one who had thrown the egg to the prison continent, as he had thought that this King would never return, but he was not sure what to do now that he had come into being once more.
