"Little Dragon Girl?"

"So that was why there wasn't a name—it was her."

"But Little Dragon Girl is only thirteen right now. She should still be in the Ancient Tomb and hasn't met the young Yang Guo yet."

"If that's the case, then I'll definitely become her exclusive dragon rider!"

Seeing the childhood goddess before him, who looked like an immortal fairy, Jiang Lin felt as though he were dreaming. A faint possessive desire rose in his heart.

When Little Dragon Girl saw the child staring at her without stopping, her lovely brows furrowed slightly, and a phantom blue sword appeared in her hand.

"Jiang Lin, I feel like you're thinking bad thoughts?"

Jiang Lin instantly came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

"Huh? No, no. It's just that this is the first time I've met such a beautiful girl, so I didn't know what to do. Haha."

"By the way, although you said you don't have a name, you should have family, right? What do they call you?"

The girl's indifferent eyes watched Jiang Lin for a while. Only after the hairs on his body stood on end did the phantom blue sword in her hand disperse.

"In the Ancient Tomb, I only have my master, Granny, and senior sister. They all call me Long'er."

"Long'er? That's a nice name. But you're a little older than me, so I'll call you Sister Long from now on. How about it?"

Although Jiang Lin wanted to possess Little Dragon Girl from the bottom of his heart, he was currently just a stranger to her. At this stage, he needed to slowly build her favorability and erase the distance between them. Calling her sister was just the right way for Jiang Lin to get closer to Little Dragon Girl.

"Sister? Mm, that's fine." Little Dragon Girl nodded.

"Sister Long, do you know why you came to this world?"

Jiang Lin asked curiously. He wanted to know what the system and he himself looked like in the eyes of these summoned people.

A trace of recollection appeared in Little Dragon Girl's eyes. "When I was preparing to rest tonight, a sister's voice appeared in my mind and asked whether I wanted to leave the Ancient Tomb and go outside to take a look."

"Because Senior Sister always told me that the outside world was beautiful whenever she returned, I agreed."

"Then a Bronze Gate appeared before me. After opening it and walking for a while, I came here and saw you."

"Then that sister told me to stay by your side, and that you could take me to see the outside world."

After hearing that, surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes.

It seemed that the summoned people really did come from real worlds. But this Little Dragon Girl really was inexperienced in worldly matters—she believed whatever others told her.

And that sister's voice? Could the system be female? Then why was there only a cold mechanical voice in his mind? Was it giving them different treatment?

"By the way, do you feel any changes inside your body?"

"Do you mean this?"

Little Dragon Girl lifted her delicate hand. A dragon's roar then rang out through the room, and the temperature of the entire house dropped by seven or eight degrees.

Then flakes of snow drifted down from the void. As they continued to multiply, they swirled and gathered around Little Dragon Girl. Finally, an enormous ice dragon, both tangible and illusory, appeared behind her.

At once, a terrifying pressure spread from Little Dragon Girl's body. Jiang Lin, who stood closest to her, was directly frozen in place.

"Yes, that's it. Hurry and put it away. Do you know how it appeared in your body?" Jiang Lin asked with some difficulty.

Little Dragon Girl nodded. The next moment, the ice dragon behind her turned into blue motes of light and merged into her body.

"When I passed through the Bronze Gate, under that sister's guidance, I touched a dragon-shaped stone tablet. Then I appeared in a mysterious space of ice and snow."

"At the deepest part of that space was a dragon girl who asked whether I wanted to accept her inheritance. Before I could answer, I fell unconscious. When I woke up again, it and some related inheritance information had appeared inside my body."

"That sister told me this was a gift for agreeing to come to this world."

Jiang Lin nodded, but a trace of suspicion toward the All-Heavens Card-Drawing System arose in his heart.

This system seemed a little too human-like, didn't it? Could it have been handcrafted by some mighty expert? But why had it chosen him?

Shaking his head, Jiang Lin stopped thinking about it. Right now, he was just a nobody. There was no use in overthinking.

The most pressing matter now was figuring out how to settle Little Dragon Girl in front of him.

Jiang Lin looked around, helplessness appearing in his eyes.

The entire room only had one bed, one table, and one stool. That was all.

Even if Jiang Lin wanted to make a bed for himself on the floor, there wasn't even a blanket. The bed had only an extremely thin quilt and a bedsheet washed nearly white.

Helpless, Jiang Lin could only test the waters and say:

"Sister Long, it's already late. How about you make do and sleep with me on the bed for one night?"

Little Dragon Girl glanced at the narrow wooden bed, hesitation in her eyes.

Jiang Lin hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, Sister Long. I'm always very well-behaved when I sleep. I definitely won't move around recklessly."

"And we can fold the quilt into a long strip and place it in the middle of the bed. I guarantee I won't cross the line."

Little Dragon Girl looked at Jiang Lin's serious expression, remained silent for a moment, then said, "Granny said that if anyone tried to take advantage of me, I should kill him directly."

"Jiang Lin, you won't make me kill you, right?"

"Damn, Granny Sun's teachings are that fierce?" Jiang Lin clicked his tongue.

But at this stage, Jiang Lin was only a six-year-old child. Even if he had the desire, he lacked the ability, so Little Dragon Girl's concerns were somewhat unnecessary.

"Sister Long, I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't do that. I swear on my character!"

Jiang Lin spoke earnestly and firmly, so Little Dragon Girl said nothing more and tacitly agreed.

Damn, she actually agreed. We're really going to share a bed!

Jiang Lin felt excited for a moment. He jumped directly onto the bed, then folded the thin quilt into a long strip and placed it in the center of the wooden bed.

"Sister Long, do you want to sleep on the outside or the inside?"

"Jiang Lin, you sleep on the inside."

"Okay, Sister Long."

Jiang Lin lay down on his side against the wall, then shifted the quilt barrier a little toward himself, making more room for Little Dragon Girl.

After all, the wooden bed wasn't very large. It was more than spacious enough for Jiang Lin alone, but with Little Dragon Girl added, it was a little cramped. To keep from squeezing Little Dragon Girl off the bed in the middle of the night, Jiang Lin could only inconvenience himself.

Little Dragon Girl naturally noticed Jiang Lin's small movements, and something unusual appeared in her originally indifferent eyes.

However, Little Dragon Girl did not take Jiang Lin's kindness for granted. She merely lay down outside the original middle boundary.

What a good girl—

Jiang Lin could not help feeling moved.

What Jiang Lin found somewhat regrettable, however, was that Little Dragon Girl was lying facing outward. That meant he could only see her back, not her face.

But Jiang Lin was not disappointed for long, because Little Dragon Girl had a special natural fragrance. As time passed, the scent continually drifted into Jiang Lin's nose, soothing his mind.

Before long, Jiang Lin fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, a pair of cool eyes opened.

Listening to the even breathing behind her, Little Dragon Girl slowly turned around and quietly looked at Jiang Lin's face.

"Jiang Lin, what kind of person will you be?"

"Senior Sister said that all men outside are very good at deceiving people. If women aren't careful, they will lose their chastity to them, and once the men grow tired of them, they will abandon the women. Will you be like that too?"

"Or are you actually a very good person? Otherwise, why would that sister bring me to your side?"

"..."

Little Dragon Girl murmured softly for a long time. Having left the Ancient Tomb for the first time, her heart was clearly filled with confusion and helplessness. And now, the only person she could rely on was this six-year-old boy before her, who was mature beyond his years.
