The Shell Maiden looked dazed, as if she had remembered something, staring in shock.
Having lived so long, this was only the second time the Shell Maiden had seen it. It had still appeared when she was very young, but later, for some unknown reason, it had never appeared in the Dragon Palace again.
"Dragon Lord!" Coming back to herself, the Shell Maiden hurriedly lifted her skirts and rushed inside.
In an inner side hall, the Young Dragon comfortably turned over. It seemed immersed in a hot spring, happy and at ease, its tiny tail swishing from time to time.
Perhaps it was dreaming of something delicious, for it occasionally smacked its lips. Just as the Shell Maiden rushed in, she heard the Young Dragon cry out, "Big Brother Master!"
"Could Mr. Su have come?" Knowing that the Dragon Lord's master possessed mysterious powers and came and went without a trace, the Shell Maiden thought he had returned and hurriedly searched all around. Yet she saw no one.
Could it have been sleep talk?
"Dragon Lord..." She had wanted to wake the Dragon Lord and have him look at the rainbow outside, but seeing how sweetly the Young Dragon slept, the Shell Maiden, one of those who doted on the Young Dragon beyond measure, could not bring herself to speak. As she withdrew, she even reminded the Demon Race to keep their voices down and not disturb the Dragon Lord's beautiful dream.
"At a time like this, Mr. Su must be doing quite well too." Thinking that her Dragon Lord seemed bound to Mr. Su by some thread of fate, and seeing how peacefully the Dragon Lord slept now, she knew Mr. Su must be safe as well.
With that thought, the Shell Maiden finally set her mind at ease
