"Heh heh, I avenged you this time. How are you planning to repay me?" Black Dragon cackled. I immediately sneered. "Little Black, you ate two claws, so you came out ahead. And you still plan to extort me?"
"Hahaha, Black Dragon, you're even blackmailing my little brother? That's going too far. You always praised him to me when you weren't seeing him, so why do you start arguing with each other the moment you meet?" Xia Ruize said meaningfully.

I helplessly shrugged. I had adopted this little black dragon back when it was still a tiny snake, and we had bickered our way through all these years. I had long since gotten used to it. But I still rather missed the days I had spent with it, and it probably felt the same. Otherwise, Xia Ruize wouldn't have said that it often spoke of my good points. It seemed this Black Dragon was more stubborn than most when it came to its pride.
"Yitian, you're truly a remarkable person. Even Black Dragon likes you so much. You should know this fellow doesn't like humans, right?" Xia Ruize smiled, then continued, "If fate weren't entangled with us, forcing me to bring it along, I'd actually want to return it to you."
