As soon as White Dragon said this, Qin Jishi froze where he stood.
He thought he had misheard, his eyes filled with bewilderment and confusion.
"W-White Dragon... what did you just say?"
"Jishi!"
White Dragon was exceptionally serious. "I want to take Si'er back to the Scale Armor Clan."
Qin Jishi: "..."
After receiving confirmation once more, Qin Jishi's eyes reddened uncontrollably.
"Jishi!"
White Dragon suddenly smiled softly. "Don't overthink it. I simply want to take Si'er back to the Scale Armor Clan. After all, he's already grown so big."
"Heh heh!"
"I'm sure that when that brat Divine Dragon sees Si'er, he'll be both shocked and delighted to become an uncle."
"..."
Divine Dragon?
Black lines appeared across Qin Jishi's forehead as he recalled what the other man had said during the Divine Son Competition.
That he would introduce his older sister to him if there was a chance.
So that was it?
Qin Jishi's stunned expression left White Dragon somewhat confused.
"Jishi, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"No!"
Qin Jishi came back to his senses and said sincerely,
"White Dragon, thank you!!"
He understood perfectly well that White Dragon was thinking of him.
Xuanyuan Qi had told him about the Myriad Worlds World Ending Spear. How could White Dragon not have noticed the change in Qin Jishi's heart?
She knew what he was worried about!!
This way!
She was merely giving him a reason.
White Dragon shook her head. "Jishi, we're family."
That's right!
We're family.
Qin Jishi's eyes reddened, while a smile shone through White Dragon's misty gaze.
As the sun set, with lush green grass all around them, the two stood on the little path and embraced each other as they wept.
"White Dragon, before I leave, I want to return to the World-Saving Pavilion once."
