The Zhu-Robed Minister continued, "At the heart of the story is a young hero of our race who sneaks into the Dragon Race Crystal Palace by night and single-handedly battles the Dragon Race's Immortal multitude and the many vassals under its command."
"Our young hero is dashing and spirited. He slays the aquatic clans until rivers run red, leaving them quaking in their boots. He charges in and out seven times, and no dragon can stand against him!"
"In the end, our young hero makes a clean getaway, laughing as he leaves, and greatly exalts the prestige of the Human Race..."
"But for a story to be complete, it needs a detailed beginning and ending..."
"In my view, the cause of this affair was the Dragon Race abusing its strength to bully the weak and bringing calamity upon the world. Coveting the hundred mu of fine farmland that this young hero and his whole family had worked so hard to reclaim, they slaughtered his entire family, young and old alike, and even spared not the infant in the cradle. Their hearts were truly vicious, their cruelty loathsome..."
"This young hero was steadfast of heart and devoted to his family. To avenge them, he put aside the impetuousness of youth and devoted himself to cultivation."
"In the end, under the cultivation of our elders, he mastered his arts. Then he went alone to storm the Dragon Race Crystal Palace by night..."
"And the result was that this young hero avenged his family. The Dragon Race, from top to bottom, received the punishment they deserved. From then on, neither the Dragon Race nor its many vassals dared show disrespect to the Human Race..."
