Being patted on the head felt so wonderful...
Bai Yujun tilted her head back, narrowed her Phoenix Eyes in bliss, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up. Her pointed ears, which had drooped downward from low spirits, happily twitched, their tips pointing up. A breeze tousled her jet-black hair, veiling her pretty face, while her tail wagged merrily.
If she was becoming an immortal, then so be it. She had tasted everything edible in this world and on Earth; she would go see what there was to eat in the immortal realm.
She shrugged and sighed, calming herself while keeping a smile on her face.
"Hoo~ I'm a dragon. I'll always remember the scent of home and never forget it. This dragon will come back someday~"
She turned to face the towering, ancient Dragon Gate, touching the relief-carved giant dragon on its pillar. She leaned close, widened her Phoenix Eyes, and examined it hard, even bringing her nose close to sniff it. Disappointment appeared on her face.
"Sigh, what a pity it isn't gold. No idea what material it is. I wouldn't dare ask~"
Mu was speechless.
"Mm... My head hurts!"
Atop the Giant Tree, Mu took a deep breath. One hand hugged her chest while the other vigorously kneaded her forehead. She suddenly wondered whether the little one would disgrace the dragon clan completely. Greedy for money, greedy for food, greedy for sleep—what a headache...
Perhaps Bai Yujun's nervous antics had become too much for the Dragon Gate to bear. The golden dragon coiled around the pillar, motionless until now, suddenly came alive. It lowered its head, raised a claw, and slapped it toward Bai Yujun, who was fussily inspecting the floor tiles!
Bang~
"Ow~"
"Who was that?! Believe it or not, I'll bite you to dea—ugh..."
