The Little Silver Dragon Missed Me!

"Golden Dragon Princess, you..."

Huo Wu's face flushed crimson as she glared at the Golden Dragon Princess.

With two Soul Elders supporting her and her own Ring Fusion Skill, even the academy's Soul King teachers wouldn't dare face her head-on.

Where did the Golden Dragon Princess get such nerve? Why was she so confident?

"If you're asking for a beating, I'll oblige."

Huo Wu spoke through gritted teeth, then called to her two teammates behind her,

"You heard her. Support me! Blazing Fire Academy must not be disgraced!"

The two support-type Soul Elders were still nervous, but when they saw that the Golden Dragon Princess really wasn't moving, they relaxed.

They drew on all their Soul Power and poured it into Huo Wu without holding anything back.

"I believe in the Golden Dragon Princess, but..."

"Please don't get hurt, Golden Dragon Princess!"

"The Golden Dragon Princess is unstoppable!"

"Haah!"

Her yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings fused, and a massive fireball rose above Huo Wu's head. The spectators could barely stand the heat, and the defensive soul-tool barrier activated at once.

Feeling warmth spread through his left arm, the Golden Dragon Princess smiled faintly.

"Prepare for your first defeat, Golden Dragon Princess!"

Huo Wu roared and sent the fireball crashing toward the Golden Dragon Princess.

The Golden Dragon Princess stood still.

In the stands, spectators clenched their fists, hearts in their throats.

The fireball had swallowed the Golden Dragon Princess, hiding him from view.

Several seconds passed without any movement inside it, and Huo Wu's heart tightened.

The Golden Dragon Princess couldn't have died in there, could he?

I... should lower the temperature!

Huo Wu might have disliked the Golden Dragon Princess and talked tough, but she had never wanted to kill him.

Whoosh~

"I told you. Your fire... is too weak!"

Huo Wu froze midstep, her eyes widening.

The Golden Dragon Princess was absorbing the fireball she had created with Ring Fusion. What kind of joke was this? Even she could barely control its scorching heat.

Yet not only did he show no sign of pain, he looked downright pleased. What was going on?

One of the Fire Dragon King Divine Bone's skills: All Flames Submit!

With this skill, the Golden Dragon Princess didn't even need to release his Martial Soul. The Divine Bone would absorb all those flames.

Huo Wu now wore much the same expression Tang San had when he'd said, "Too bad! My Blue Silver Grass... is immune to fire!"

The Golden Dragon Princess stamped his right foot, and the ground instantly cracked like a spiderweb!

The force of his punch was astonishing. The rush of air alone blasted Huo Wu and the others off the stage.

All seven of them landed in a neat row, unconscious.

The Golden Dragon Princess lowered his fist, casually straightened his pale green clothes, then brushed back his glossy black hair.

His outfit was modest, showing only his long, straight legs beneath the hem of his pale green skirt.

But those few simple movements left the spectators unable to look away, and an uproar swept through the stands.

Without checking the Blazing Fire Academy teachers' reactions, the Golden Dragon Princess left the Soul Arena with Xiao Wu.

"Little Rui, pack up. We're going home!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up. She had been in the human world for so long without returning to the Star Dou Great Forest.

She hurried inside to pack, and Xiao Wu did the same. She wanted to go back and see it too!

On the way back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy,

the silver dragon scale hanging around Lu Ming's neck began to glow. He touched it and sensed the message the Little Silver Dragon wanted to send.

A faint smile crossed his face. So the Little Silver Dragon missed him!

The Imperial City Soul Arena was still looking for a suitable opponent for him, and that would take some time. He might as well take a few days off.

He could visit the Little Silver Dragon and check on his little house in the Star Dou Great Forest. He wondered how it was doing.

Two and a half minutes later,

the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Wu came out together.

Xiao Wu was panting hard. The rush had clearly taken it out of her.

With Golden Dragon blood in her veins, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had a much stronger constitution than the little rabbit. If she hadn't waited for Xiao Wu, she would have been out ages ago.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm going back to the Star Dou Great Forest for a few days. Stay with Xue while I'm gone!"

Lu Ming kissed Xiao Xiao on the cheek. Her cool skin felt so nice that he took a long time to pull away.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Xiao Wu could hardly bear watching. If My Lord kissed them like that someday, they could die happy.

Lu Ming pretended not to notice their expressions. After all, they weren't the only ones who coveted his body.

He couldn't help being both dashingly heroic and an aloof beauty!

What were other people supposed to do when he had both these looks and his Martial Soul?

"You two, come here!"

Lu Ming spoke imperiously and spread his arms.

A pair of blue-green wings crackling with lightning unfurled behind him.

Xiao Wu and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion exchanged a look, nearly fainting from the sudden surprise.

The Golden Dragon Lord was going to fly with both of them!

"Hold tight!"

The Wind-Thunder Wings beat, and Lu Ming shot off like lightning, vanishing beyond the horizon in just a few breaths.

Little Rui on his left, Xiao Wu on his right—he could move as he pleased!

Lu Ming had truly learned a thing or two from Ancestor Han.

At the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest,

a faint golden light flickered in the sky, growing brighter by the moment.

The Soul Beasts guarding the lake, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, went on full alert as they watched the approaching figure.

Boom!

"Golden Dragon Lord!"

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python lit up with delight and greeted him with broad smiles.

Since they had last parted, the Golden Dragon Lord had grown even stronger.

"The Golden Dragon Lord was so fast, Little Rui nearly forgot to breathe a few times!"

"Mm-hmm! My Lord's escape speed is incredible!"

Xiao Wu chimed in, then immediately covered her mouth.

She hurried to explain.

"My Lord, Xiao Wu didn't mean it like that! I'm bad with words. You weren't escaping!"

Xiao Wu blushed scarlet, sweat breaking out down her back.

Lu Ming didn't make a fuss. He walked up to his little house.

Its construction was anything but simple. It was made of vegetation, but no ordinary vegetation.

Thanks to the Lake of Life, those plants filtered out impurities. The Heaven and Earth Essence and life energy inside the wooden house were not only abundant but even purer.

If the Lake of Life was a paradise for cultivation, then the little wooden house beside it was a paradise within that paradise.

"Xiao Wu, here's your chance to make up for it. Go cook."

Delighted to receive an order, Xiao Wu seized the chance to prove herself.

Little Chef Xiao Wu was on duty. The Golden Dragon Lord's stomach was in her hands.

"What the hell!"

Space warped.

A silver circle opened beneath Lu Ming's feet, and he dropped straight through it.

"Ow, my butt!"

Lu Ming rubbed it and looked around.

He immediately recognized this as a separate space, much like the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' space.

A pleasant, jasmine-like scent hung in the air.

"Golden Dragon... come in!"
