"Hey hey hey!"

Looking at the rippling lake surface, Nanyizi sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Thrown so far, if this guy doesn't have the strength of a Nine Hearts, hmph... Looks like they're doomed."

Nanyizi immediately activated the communication roulette to report the mission.

"Hunt complete!"

Yuanhui slowly sank to the bottom of the water along the current. His final consciousness gradually blurred. Images of Tonger sister kept appearing before his eyes, along with Uncle Wutien Di, but unfortunately, he couldn't even complete the first step before meeting his fate.

He vaguely felt someone trying to call out to him, and his right hand faintly felt warmth—it was Tonger sister!

Suddenly, the person changed again, Yuanhui shook his head, it was Mengluo... could it be?

*Thud!* a ball dropped down, "Cough, cough, who's this Tonger, Meng'er, it's Us!"

Yuanhui carefully examined the handsome face of this white-haired beauty.

"Who are you?"

He couldn't help but ask, "Brat, where's your mom?"

Uh, where's Our mom?

The child was stumped by his question...

"I don't have a mom!"

As he spoke, the child who called himself Us started crying!

"Sob, sob, sob, Us don't even know how he was born, after all, that was a very, very long time ago."

Suddenly, the dragon god realized, wiped his tears, and said comfortingly, "Ah, after all these years, after so many people passed by me, someone can finally see me."

Yuanhui, puzzled, patted the dragon god's head to comfort him.

"You'll find your mom." (The dragon god sounded a bit angry)

The dragon god picked up the ball and hit Yanlong on the head, his eyes full of boundless anger.

"You little idiot, you're just looking for your mom, too cunning, forget it, I'll just be straightforward!"

Calmly, the dragon god adjusted his transparent imperial robe and explained to Yuanhui.

"See that? I'm currently in soul state, in need of a host. Only by forming a contract with someone who can see me can I leave this giant birdcage!"

Yuanhui suddenly remembered his mother telling him that a dragon god fell in the Dragon Abyss, and the Dragon God would only appear when the Heavenly Descendant appeared.

Could the Dragon God his mother mentioned be this little guy?

"That's right, Us are the Panlong God who shocks the Six Realms, the leader of the Twelve Beast Gods!"

The child bragged proudly. For some reason, usually, he would pass out in fright if he met the Dragon God, but now, amidst the Dragon God's passionate speech, he showed no surprise.

The atmosphere was getting awkward, the dragon god immediately changed, turning his two arms into starlight that spread across the water. "See this? This is Our power!"

"Stardust?"

Finally, he reacted a little. Only super strong beings above the rank of Semi-Immortal could create this starlight that illuminated the entire lake bottom.

The dragon god slowly touched Yuanhui's chin with his index finger, drew a seal on his forehead, and chanted a spell.

"Can you complete Our unfinished mission for Us? As a reward, We shall grant you everything, including power and wealth!"

*Boom!*

The riverbed soil quickly dispersed, and the rising luminous pearl seemed to unravel the historical mystery, prompting the dragon god to howl to the sky.

"The Power of the World—The Sea-Calming Pearl!"

A huge pillar of light shot straight up from the water surface.

At this moment, Nanyuzi, who was watching the suddenly dazzling lake from the shore, was shocked and paralyzed by the sudden rise of the towering pillar of light. The sky couldn't bear this immense energy either, and the space momentarily twisted and seemed on the verge of tearing apart!

The tranquil Wan Zhang Long Pool once again sent out the dragon's majesty to the world.

"Hehehe," the dragon god boasted to the pale-faced Yuanhui, who had been scared, "we dragons are the creatures in this world that even gods dare not disrespect!"

Yuanhui suppressed his fear and smiled slightly, patting the dragon scales, thanking, "You saved my life, oh great Dragon God, I bow to you!"

Yuanhui was well aware that it was not a god who had come to save him, but the adorable creature in front of him—the Dragon God.

Flying high in the sky, they each had their own wishes to fulfill.

Yes, Yuanhui also had a wish to fulfill. They reached an agreement to fulfill their missions!

Perhaps they would eventually fulfill their wishes, but gods cannot interfere in worldly affairs...

It's like love is simple, but difficult to choose – does only the mighty deserve love? No, it must be protected by dreams!

When Yuanhui suddenly opened his eyes again, he found himself just sleeping on a rock in a mountain forest. Was this all a dream? He stretched and yawned lazily.

A white light flashed by, and Yuanhui became alert, quickly rubbed his eyes, and called out, "Dragon God?"

Just as he spoke, the Dragon God, now transformed into a child, bounced happily from behind a tree, with a bag of buns in his mouth and one in each hand, looking quite comical.

"This is really unfortunate," the Dragon God seemed dissatisfied with the situation and complained, "in this world, you don't even need to pay for things you buy. I wanted to give a gold bar to the food seller."

At this moment, on the other end of the forest... the bun seller was already foaming at the mouth.

The trees here were sparse but covered a wide area, making it a hidden place where one would not easily be spotted.

"This is the edge of the heavenly realm, where my final powers can reach."

The Dragon God's memories slowly unfolded, while Yuanhui relied on the observation of the large tree. It turned out to be the southern suburbs of Xiuhuang City, but it was more than twenty hours away from the city!

The edge of the heavenly realm was teeming with demonic beasts, a good place for seclusion. Thinking of this, Yuanhui brushed his bangs aside, looked at the waves crashing on the shore, and no longer hid his thoughts.

"Hey, can I call you Long...?"

"Huh?"

The Dragon God was busy stuffing his mouth and speaking with a sticky voice.

"What are you pondering about, little one?"

Playing with the scroll in his hand, Yuanhui chuckled, "Perhaps... should I give you a name?"

"That's enough, kid!"

The Dragon God seemed annoyed by Yuanhui's attitude and snapped angrily, "I have a name; I am Wu Xian... Wu, boundless! Xian, immortal!"

Yuanhui was taken aback by the sudden anger of the Dragon God and replied dazedly, "Yes... Wu Xian."

"That's right. My dragon life doesn't have so many doubts."

The Dragon God caught a water dragon with one hand and taught Yuanhui, "You can't let fate control you, after all, you are not as old as me. Although we've only known each other for less than a day, your doubts may be too many."

Speaking, he handed the water dragon to Yuanhui with his tender little hands. Yuanhui adjusted his body, grabbed the water dragon, and took a bite out of its head. Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, he understood that he wouldn't even show sympathy to himself, let alone others!

The first light of morning skimmed over the coast as Yuanhui had already begun preparing for a rebirth. Following the dragon god's instructions, he started releasing the internal energy within him and got ready to gather some wet fruits by the seaside.

"Hey there!"

The sudden appearance of the dragon god interrupted Yuanhui's thoughts. Looking at his bony figure hidden under the white robe, which was already as thin as a skeleton, the dragon god chuckled.

"Hehe, there's a funeral being held for you in the city now."

Yuanhui, who was ready to act according to plan, immediately grabbed the dragon god and asked, "What? I have to go back now! I can't let my father and mother worry."

After saying that, he went straight to look for his shirt on the seaside rocks.

Shaking his golden dragon robe, the dragon god comforted the anxious Yuanhui.

"Hehe, do you think going back home now would be causing trouble or showing filial piety?"

Yuanhui, who had stopped his hand from moving, asked the dragon god, "Why?"

The dragon god pointed to the end of the waves—the edge of paradise.

"If you go back, then the coronation of the young clan leader will proceed as planned, and the old man named Nan Yizi will inevitably start a great war between the Southern and Martial families, making you a burden to your family."

Thinking about the people around him and knowing the situation of the Imperial City, which was built of blue stone and couldn’t withstand the battle of the three major families, Yuanhui parted the grass on the mountainside. Seeing that there was no one around, he began searching for wet fruits by the seaside.

The bushes growing on the cliffs were all damp, and the damp region was indistinguishable. Yuanhui carefully turned over the rocky reefs on the beach with his muddy hands, only to be blown away by a sudden sea breeze. Desperately, Yuanhui unleashed a punch—the Dragon Return Punch. With a bang, the "sea stone" groaned twice and then stood up.

"What's happening?"

The sea stone went berserk, roaring like a demon towards the intruder who had disturbed its sleep behind, realizing that this was not just any sea reef, but a giant king crab!

The enraged sea crab swung its huge pincers at Yuanhui, forcing him to immediately activate his primary Qi Realm internal energy and unleash his talent skill—the Golden Flame Thundering Fist! The massive fist shattered a series of attacks by the sea crab, who agilely dodged as the fist fell on its body.

Seeing the opponent was no pushover, Yuanhui understood that he was in trouble.

"Actually, the level of the monsters here is very low."

The dragon god casually cleaned up the buns in his hands, widening his eyes as he looked at the sea crab while speaking.

"You are so cruel. This is just an ordinary hermit crab that can only use physical attacks, not even qualified to be called a monster!"

"What?" The breathless Yuanhui pointed at the hermit crab glaring at him and asked, "This guy isn’t even a monster?"

As the two argued fiercely, the hermit crab quickly fled into the waves trying to escape.

"Quick, catch it before it gets away!"

Helplessly watching the creature he was hunting for the first time flee, the dragon god comforted Yuanhui.

"Our goal is not to kill it, let it live."

The Dragon God picked some wet fruits from a few small wet fruit trees only half the height of a person and casually tossed them to Yuanhui.

"Kid, all the training before you were reborn is useless!”

With that, the Dragon God picked up a fruit and nibbled on it, smacked his lips saying it tasted like persimmon.

Yuanhui hurriedly reminded the Dragon God and tried to take the wet fruit from God's Hand.

"Lord Dragon God, wet fruits are used for making **... uh!"
