Shen Yangge, who should have been indignant, instead brightened. He slowly coiled around Chu Xuanzhen, bringing his dragon head face-to-face with him.
Only half a month or so had passed, yet Shen Yangge had missed Chu Xuanzhen's face terribly. Unable to help himself, he opened his dragon mouth and licked that handsome face, covering it entirely with his tongue.
He dared not use too much force, though, or he could disfigure Chu Xuanzhen on the spot.
A massive Golden Dragon and a mortal hovered above Capital City, a sight that left everyone profoundly shaken. The enemy soldiers had never witnessed such a divine manifestation, and they revered the gods above all else. Nearly half of them had already laid down their weapons.
Was this Great Chu's Divine Dragon?
With such a divine being protecting it, what would it matter if they captured Capital City? Great Chu's army could simply abandon the city and rise again. As long as their faith endured, they would never disappear.
"Commander Ake, what should we do now?"

A single sweep of the Divine Dragon's tail had knocked hundreds of men from the Western Regions to the ground, their fates unknown. Such divine power struck fear into every one of them.
