Dressed as a Girl-Did That Mean I Had to Be the Golden Dragon Princess Too? (Please Bookmark and Keep Reading)

Sunset Forest, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Xiao Xiao sat on the roof of the wooden cabin, her green clothes reflecting the vitality all around her.

She ate wild fruit and quietly watched the "hot pot." Every movement and expression spoke of a well-bred young lady.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao froze. She stared hard at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Her small hands tightened.

Splash!

Lu Ming spread his wings. His Flying Thunder Wings beat in midair, flinging off the well water. Long black hair clung to his back.

His broad, muscular chest was striking, and his long legs were no less shapely than a girl's.

After two and a half years, Lu Ming had reached the Soul Elder realm and grown to 160 centimeters. With his handsome face, he would have looked just like Tang Wulin if only he seemed a little more brooding.

"Little Lu!"

Xiao Xiao flew up and pulled Lu Ming into her arms. Once again, he nearly passed out in her milk-scented embrace.

"My Little Lu keeps getting taller. It's only been two and a half years, and you're almost as tall as me."

Xiao Xiao smiled, but the air suddenly turned awkward.

"You... Little Lu, how could you be so shameless..."

Xiao Xiao hurriedly turned away, not daring to look at him.

Only then did Lu Ming realize he was completely naked.

Back in the space of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, he had been covered in blood, so his slightly yellowish skin had hardly shown.

But the well water had washed all the blood away, revealing his sturdy, wheat-toned body.

Whoosh!

Lu Ming's youthful face reddened. He still didn't have a storage Soul Tool, let alone any clothes.

"Sister Xiao Xiao... do you have any men's clothes?"

Xiao Xiao blinked. She had never even dated anyone. How could she possibly have men's clothes?

"Where would I get any? Little Lu, you don't mean..."

Lu Ming said nothing. Covering himself with one hand, he tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Then could you find me some leaves to cover up with?"

Xiao Xiao pouted. How could she make Little Lu wear leaves?

But there didn't seem to be another way!

She took a few steps, then stopped and turned back with a bright smile.

"Little Lu, I've thought of something else."

Lu Ming suddenly had a bad feeling. It couldn't be anything good.

Xiao Xiao paced outside the cabin door, looking anxious.

Creak...

The door slowly opened. A soft little hand eased it aside, and a breeze swept through.

Black hair swayed in the wind. Golden eyes glimmered in the sunlight, while long legs, half-hidden beneath a pale green skirt, drew the eye.

(At readers' request, I added a picture. It's Lan Xuanyu with the colors adjusted, so just imagine it's the protagonist. I hope you'll keep supporting the story!)

Xiao Xiao turned quickly at the sound. Surprise replaced the anticipation and excitement on her face.

"Little Lu,"

she asked tentatively,

"is that you?"

Lu Ming clutched the hem of his skirt, his face burning red. The shy look made Xiao Xiao's heart skip a beat.

"Sister Xiao Xiao, this feels so weird!"

He gripped the skirt tightly. The draft underneath made him uncomfortable.

It was actually cool and rather comfortable. He had simply spent more than twenty years as a boy and wasn't used to this.

"It's not weird! Not at all!"

Xiao Xiao looked Lu Ming up and down with her emerald eyes. The longer she looked, the more beautiful he seemed. Even she felt a little inadequate.

"My Little Lu, you're a little enchantress! An irresistible beauty—so lovely it hurts to look at you!"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help praising him, and she wasn't exaggerating. If not for his wheat-toned skin, every man he passed on the street would try to strike up a conversation.

Lu Ming stared blankly. He formed a mirror from Ultimate Ice, and the face reflected in it left even him dazed.

Hey, gorgeous, can I add you on WeChat?

Lu Ming shook his head.

Did I have to become the "Golden Dragon Princess" too?!

Just then, Dugu Bo called from outside the barrier, "Senior Xiao, may we come in?"

"Come in!"

Dugu Bo led Dugu Yan inside by the hand, then stopped short.

Who's that girl beside Senior Xiao?

How can she be that beautiful?

My Yan Yan can't compare at all.

"Sister Xiao, is she your younger sister?"

Dugu Yan trotted over to Xiao Xiao, gazing at Lu Ming with open envy.

Over the past two and a half years, she and Dugu Bo had needed herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to treat their poison.

Their repeated visits had gradually brought them closer to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao smiled, at a loss for words.

"Don't be shy, sister!"

"Stop clutching your skirt. Put your hands on your hips or fold your arms like I do. Just act natural."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan reached out to adjust his posture. The instant she touched him—

"Don't! Dugu Yan, it's me, Lu Ming!"

Lu Ming backed away and shouted.

Silence!

A long silence!

Dugu Bo's mouth fell open. "You're Lu Ming? The one I haven't seen in two and a half years? The one who taught me how to cure the poison?"

He couldn't mistake that voice. After all, he had admired Lu Ming immensely back then.

Lu Ming nodded.

"Just get on with what you came here to do. Stop staring at me."

He pouted and shouted indignantly.

Dugu Yan gripped her skirt in disbelief.

Boys are supposed to look bold, and girls gentle. How am I supposed to compete with that expression?

Dugu Bo nodded faintly and took Dugu Yan aside to dig up herbs. His hoe was just "too slippery" to get much digging done!

After absorbing the Immortal Herbs, Xiao Xiao looked a few years younger, and her Soul Power had grown deeper and more abundant.

If she formed an In-Phase Resonance Dual Soul Core, she could break through on the spot.

"Little Lu, why don't we become sisters from now on?"

Xiao Xiao teased.

Lu Ming pouted. He was a man, and that was that.

Gold, gold, gold. Three Soul Rings appeared, their pressure startling Dugu Yan.

"Look, Sister Xiao Xiao. I'm a three-ring Soul Elder now!"

Lu Ming changed the subject to escape her teasing.

He told Xiao Xiao what had happened over the past two and a half years. She slapped her thigh several times, delighted by how far her Little Lu had come.

"I've changed over these two and a half years too!"

Xiao Xiao summoned her Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Xiao. No—that wasn't a flute anymore. It was a long green sword.

"After I absorbed the Immortal Herbs, my Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Xiao really did change."

Xiao Xiao's face lit up.

"Now it's called the Green Xiao Sword!"

Lu Ming summoned his second Martial Soul, the Heavenly Frost Dragon Sword.

In an instant, Xiao Xiao sensed the Ultimate Ice contained within it.

They smiled at each other. They had both gained so much over those two and a half years!

Lu Ming had a score to settle.

Once Xiao Xiao became a Peerless Douluo and stood at the pinnacle of Soul Masters, the time would come.

After two and a half years, it was time for Bibi Dong to pay!

"Brother Lu Ming, would you be interested in joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Dugu Bo had finished gathering herbs. Seeing Lu Ming's talent, he casually raised the question.

Dugu Yan chimed in.

"Si—Little Lu, come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with me! You'd amaze everyone!"

Lu Ming smiled. "I am interested, but Sister Xiao Xiao and I have important things to do first. I don't know how long they'll take."

He ate enormous amounts, and Sister Xiao Xiao was a Soul Master, not a merchant. Supporting him without joining a faction would put a lot of pressure on her.

His appetite was only growing. Few people could afford to feed a Golden Dragon King.

"Senior Dugu, could you ask Heaven Dou Royal Academy about these conditions? If they agree, I'll enroll."
