After returning to Ancient Dragon Island, Zi Yan had already emerged from seclusion. The moment she saw Xiao Heng return, she stepped forward to greet him. Watching the Dragon Emperor, who looked like a little girl and had nearly thrown herself into Xiao Heng's arms, the Great Elder, who had been reporting on some matters nearby, almost thought his eyes were deceiving him.
Was this still the Dragon Emperor who had been imposing, dignified, and meticulous when speaking to him just moments ago? Why did she now look like a young wife?
"You're back!" Zi Yan moved close to Xiao Heng. She had originally wanted to leap into his arms just as she had when they were children, but after some thought, she stopped herself in time. Looking at Xiao Heng, she gave him a sweet smile and spoke softly.
"Mm!" Xiao Heng nodded. No matter what, having someone wait for him felt quite nice, especially when that person was a stunning beauty.
"Your strength...!" Zi Yan had intended to say something else, but when she sensed that Xiao Heng's aura seemed to have changed again, she could not help being surprised. It had only been two months. Could he have improved again?
"Just a little progress, nothing major," Xiao Heng said softly. Looking at Zi Yan's now curvaceous figure, he still felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. Sometimes he wanted to reach out and pat her head, but then felt that it was no longer quite appropriate.
"Making progress is already remarkable. Mr. Xiao Heng truly is extraordinarily gifted, to improve in such a short time. Old men like us might not make any progress even after several years." Hearing this, the Great Elder, who had followed them over, could not help feeling envious. Was this the difference between people?
