A Tail Wags and Wags...

With a crack, the Dragon Soul in Jiang Lin's chest shattered like an ostrich egg—except this ostrich egg was glittering gold, a bit like a premium edition ostrich egg...

Dazzling golden light burst from the Dragon Soul, as if it only lacked an old man shouting, "Golden Legend!"

Jiang Lin felt like his 24K Titanium Alloy Eyes were about to be blinded and hurriedly shut them.

The next moment, after the golden light faded, Jiang Lin felt his palm supporting something. It was soft, rather like a baby's little bottom...

"Papa..."

"???"

A soft, syrupy voice came from Jiang Lin's arms. When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he was holding a tiny infant.

Looking carefully...

Mm, it was a girl.

Her plump little face was rosy and baby-fat round. A long tail swished back and forth across Jiang Lin's palm, while her silver-white hair flowed like a naturally born Silver River, draping all the way down to cover her little bottom.

The Little Girl stood up in Jiang Lin's palm, rubbing her little head endlessly against his chest. The tiny dragon horns atop her head pressed softly against him, while her naked body was entirely covered by Holy Light.

When he took another careful look at her little horns... ding... the system's voice rang out...

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission. Reward: 3,000 Notoriety Points and qualification to enter the Cultivation Field.]

"The mission was completed just like that?"

While Jiang Lin was still dumbfounded, the system's voice rang out in his mind again.

[Congratulations, Host, for triggering the protagonist's storyline.]

[Protagonist—Ancient Dragon Race Girl of the demon race (unnamed). Her parents were killed by the Host's great-great-great-great previous life. Upon witnessing her parents' deaths, the Host's earlier great-great-great previous life spared her because he did not kill the weak. However, she resolved to avenge her parents. Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and the Dragon Race Girl was sealed together with the Ancient Battlefield. When she awakened once more, she had forgotten everything. In the end, the Dragon Race Girl will remember it all and personally burn the Host to death over ten thousand times with Dragon Breath. She will then resolve the knot in her heart, attain the Dao, and undergo Ascension. The road of a villain is arduous and full of twists and turns. Host, please take care of yourself.]

"Fuck me!"

Looking at the Jade Carved Little Girl in his arms—especially those innocent, watery eyes gazing at him—tears poured down Jiang Lin's heart like rain...

"Papa?"

Perhaps sensing the sorrow hidden in Jiang Lin's eyes, the girl lightly rose onto her tiptoes in his palm and reached out her soft little hand to stroke his face. "Papa, don't be sad... don't be sad..."

"No... I'm not sad. The wind and sand are just too strong... they got into my eyes."

Looking at the Little Girl, Jiang Lin's eyes grew faintly moist. Why... why is my life so hard...

"So cute..."

On the other side, when the three girls opened their eyes and saw the Little Dragon Girl, they cried out in surprise and collectively abandoned all thought.

Overwhelmed by maternal instincts, Lin Qingwan, and Chen Jia, tempted by sheer cuteness, nearly simultaneously opened their arms, wanting to hug the Jade Carved Little Girl.

"Mama... there are three Mamas... Mama... hug..."

The Little Dragon Girl in Jiang Lin's arms turned around to look at Lin Qingwan and the others, clapping her short, chubby hands in delight.

"Not Mama..." Lin Qingwan's cheeks reddened as she cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Lin, who was lifting his head to the sky to keep his tears from falling. "For now, you should call us Elder Sister."

"Little Dragon Dragon, let Elder Sister hug you." Chen Jia's eyes shone brightly. Or rather, Chen Jia had completely given up concealing that she was a girl—though whether she hid it or not made no difference...

"Elder Sister?" The Little Dragon Girl bit her tiny finger and tilted her head at the two Mamas before her...

How strange... Mama is Mama... why should I call them Elder Sister?

"Mama... Mama..."

After a moment, the Little Dragon Girl gave up thinking. She jumped out of Jiang Lin's arms and ran over the fine sand toward the two girls, still calling them Mama...

"Mooooo... honestly, I said call me Elder Sister." Lin Qingwan stroked the Little Dragon Girl's Silver River-like, dazzling hair. Her mouth said no, but her body was very honest.

Likewise, Chen Jia, whose only creed was "cute is justice," kept rubbing against the Little Dragon Girl's soft little face. For a time, the scene was exceptionally harmonious.

Xiao Xueli's eyes were also shining as she wanted to go hug the Little Girl, but the voice within her body made her stop involuntarily.

"Xueli, if it were anything else, I would not mind you giving it to Jiang Lin. But this ancient Dragon Soul is a living being, and its future achievements on the Great Dao are beyond measure. You must obtain her."

"But, Elder Sister Sword Spirit... I..."

"I know. Later, we can obtain some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and give them to Jiang Lin. For now, revenge takes priority. With her assistance, along with your Supreme Bone, your path of cultivation will become very, very fast!"

Xiao Xueli glanced softly at Jiang Lin, her eyes filled with helplessness and guilt. "Xueli understands."

Just as Xiao Xueli looked at Jiang Lin and was about to speak, Chen Jia abruptly stood up with her hands on her hips.

"I've decided! I'm not giving Little Dragon Dragon to you! And I'm not handing her over to the Sect either. I'm taking her home."

"Hey, little sister, will you come home with Elder Sister? Together with your Papa, of course."

At the same time, Lin Qingwan coaxed the Little Dragon Girl as well.

"Jiang Lin, I'm sorry. You know I carry a mission. Could I take care of this Little Girl for a while first? It will not be for long."

Xiao Xueli stepped forward as well.

"Eh?"

Drawing his gaze back from the night sky, Jiang Lin, having accepted reality, looked at the three of them. All of a sudden, he felt that this actually seemed possible.

If this little dragon stayed with him, she would be like a ticking time bomb. And the longer he kept her, the more likely she would be to discover that he was the one who had killed her parents. Rather than that, it would be better to let them take her away.

As for cutting the grass at its roots and striking first...

Jiang Lin looked at the Little Girl and shook his head. He might be a villain, but he was absolutely not that deranged.

"I don't think there's any probl—"

Before Jiang Lin could finish speaking, the Bewildering Secret Realm suddenly began to shake violently, and the sky changed dramatically.

"Ah..."

Centered on Jiang Lin, an enormous Spiritual Power storm swept through the Secret Realm. The next second, the four people and one dragon were blown into the sky...

Though he had no idea what was happening, the Poison Circle in the distance of the Secret Realm slowly dispersed, while mountains and rivers continuously collapsed into Annihilation.

"Not good, the Secret Realm must be closing! I'll leave the Little Dragon Girl to you! I'll be going first!" Jiang Lin shouted while spinning through the air, tightly gripping First Snow as he prepared to stab himself and leave the Secret Realm first.

"Junior Brother Jiang!"

"Jiang Lin, we will meet again!"

"Jiang Beast, I'm going to name Little Dragon Dragon! Her name will be Chen..."

"What did you say? What Little Dragon Dragon? What name?"

Jiang Lin felt his body slowly dissipating. Just as he was about to vanish completely and leave the Secret Realm, a strand of silver-white hair dangled before his nose.

Looking up, he saw the Little Dragon Girl happily sprawled atop his head, her tail wagging and wagging...
