"Boasting!"
Hearing Lu Yunxiao's words, Zi Yan shot him an adorable glare, though the slight worry in her heart faded away.
Lu Yunxiao's complexion was rosy, and the hand holding hers was steady and strong. He truly did not look injured.
Reassured, Zi Yan could not help but marvel at how powerful Lu Yunxiao truly was.
Even she might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
That day... if she had not taken advantage of Lu Yunxiao being utterly exhausted from refining the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer...
She probably would not have succeeded in turning the tables on him so easily.
Thinking about it carefully, it really had not been easy.
Fortunately, she had seized that opportunity. Otherwise, even now, Lu Yunxiao would probably still regard her as a little sister.
Hmph, she did not want to be anyone's little sister.
Zi Yan huffed softly to herself.
"How is that boasting? Heh, I was only telling the truth, yet you still don't believe me."
Lu Yunxiao shook his head and raised his right hand to pinch Zi Yan's cheek.
Smooth and tender, soft and bouncy—it felt wonderful.
"Mmph, let go of me!"
In full view of so many people, and in front of so many strangers at that, Lu Yunxiao was pinching her pretty face. Zi Yan's cheeks flushed slightly.
It was not that she minded Lu Yunxiao being intimate with her. Zi Yan had never cared about that, all right?
She simply felt that, as a Dragon Emperor, having her face pinched like this was far too embarrassing.
Especially with those scruffy birds from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan watching nearby. She had to preserve the dignity of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's Dragon Emperor.
"Nope, nope, I won't let go. What are you going to do about it?"
