[Ding, congratulations, host. You have won the favor of another Dragon Maiden. Do you accept?]
Just as Luo Feng was feeling somewhat at a loss, the electronic voice in his mind rang out again at an inopportune moment.
"What's going on?"
"A Dragon Maiden?"
"Her favor?"
If the system had not reminded him, Luo Feng would almost have forgotten this rule.
This system's inheritance came from the Dragon Kings of Dragon Valley.
It stipulated that he had to have Dragon Maiden companions by his side to carry on receiving the inheritance.
Previously, he had kept interacting with Wang Qiu'er and receiving new rewards without interruption.
That had led Luo Feng into a habitual way of thinking.
[Ding, if you accept this Dragon Maiden's declaration of love, your path of growth will be even smoother sailing.] [Moreover, thanks to the power of her bloodline rank, you may receive even richer rewards. Do you accept?]
Clearly, this system very much wanted Luo Feng to accept Zi JI!
It had already reminded him twice in just a few seconds.
This was a romance that had fallen straight from the heavens.
At the same time, it was a tremendous opportunity delivered right to him.
It was just that this happiness had caught him a little off guard.
Luo Feng was not ready yet!
"Husband, our Dragon Clan doesn't actually require monogamy the way you humans do..."
Perhaps she had noticed the conflicted look on Luo Feng's face.
Wang Qiu'er seemed to grow anxious.
So this little lass wanted to help bring about this new relationship too?
This way of thinking really was rather different from that of humans.
When Wang Qiu'er had seen Ma Xiaotao earlier, there had been some hostility in her eyes, more or less.
But why was she completely different when she met Zi JI?
Was it because they shared the same origins?
At that thought.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Luo Feng.
Luo Feng thought of Di Tian's family situation on the Douluo Continent.
In that era, Di Tian not only had the Emerald Swan by his side, but later accepted Zi JI as well.
Perhaps this was the Dragon Clan's idea of family!
As long as an accepted member of their own clan was involved, the more the merrier!
"Well, Qiu'er, aren't you jealous?"
Hearing even his darling wife persuade him from beside him.
Luo Feng let go of that little bit of hesitation in his heart.
A Dragon Maiden had delivered herself to his door; why turn her down?
It would not even cause any family conflict.
This was the sort of good fortune one could not find even with a lantern!
"Why would I be? Auntie Zi JI and I are very close. Actually, I could call her big sister too!"
All right, then.
The Dragon Clan did not seem as rigid about clan relationships as humans were.
If they went by their usual relationship.
Wang Qiu'er did indeed have to call Zi JI her auntie.
But if Zi JI joined their big family too, changing how she addressed her seemed fine!
"All right, then let's..."
After letting go of the last shred of insistence in his heart.
Luo Feng's gaze grew more direct as he looked at Zi JI.
And her face reddened even more as she looked at him.
Paired with her long purple hair.
And her almost perfect figure.
She was simply breathtakingly beautiful!
"W-well, how about we get to know each other a little better once we're out?"
Hearing such a forward hint from Luo Feng,
Zi JI was shy, but still nodded like a young girl.
"Mm!"
"All right! Let me go tell the ancestors first, then I'll leave with you!"
After saying this, Zi JI was just like a bashful young girl.
She lowered her head and ran off into the distance.
That flustered manner was definitely no act.
And compared to the demonic dragon who had been baring her fangs and brandishing her claws earlier.
The contrast now was truly enormous!
"Wonderful, husband!"
"Now I can call her Big Sister Zi JI!"
Seeing the two before her put aside their misgivings.
Wang Qiu'er beside him seemed even more excited than Luo Feng.
But he vaguely sensed that these two beautiful Dragon Maidens most likely still had something they had not said.
The dragon souls of those Dragon Kings in this valley must have reached some sort of agreement with their two juniors, right?
"Qiu'er, can you tell me now?"
"What exactly did the Dragon King seniors in this valley say to you two?"
Taking advantage of Zi JI's brief absence.
Luo Feng pulled Wang Qiu'er over again.
He stroked her beautiful blue-and-gold hair while murmuring into her ear.
Curiosity was not something only girls possessed.
At this moment, Luo Feng also very much wanted to uncover this valley's secrets.
"N-no, I can't!"
"The dragon grandpas said I can't tell you yet, husband!"
"Unless..."
Hearing Luo Feng's question, Wang Qiu'er's gaze grew evasive.
But the more this little lass acted this way.
The more Luo Feng felt there was something going on.
Still, he did not press her further.
After all, this was an internal matter of the Dragon Clan.
Although Luo Feng possessed the key to opening Dragon Valley, he was still fundamentally a human.
"Unless what?"
"The Dragon King grandpas said, unless you spread the branches and leaves of our Dragon Clan and bring it back to the pinnacle of the world..."
Well, well!
Who would have thought those old bones in Dragon Valley had such grand ambitions?
Smack!
Perhaps worried that Luo Feng would keep questioning her.
Wang Qiu'er used a very clumsy but effective method.
She stopped Luo Feng's mouth-with a Dragon Maiden's kiss!
"All right, all right, I won't ask!"
"Why is your Dragon Clan always so mysterious?"
Seeing that Luo Feng had finally stopped asking questions.
Wang Qiu'er's face once again showed that happy yet apologetic expression.
"Mm, thank you, husband!"
"Qiu'er promises you, when the time is right, I'll reveal the secret without you even having to ask!"
This little cutie was dangling a big pie in the sky before me too?
Just as Luo Feng was about to say something else.
Zi JI's sugary voice sounded behind him again.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Tell me about it too?"
Seeing Zi JI walk over with a smile.
Luo Feng no longer held back either, wrapping an arm around her slender waist and forcibly pulling her over too!
"Ah!"
Zi JI clearly had not yet grown accustomed to Luo Feng's enthusiasm.
She could not help letting out a startled cry.
But, blushing, she gladly accepted it all.
[Ding, congratulations, host, on having an intimate interaction with your second Dragon Maiden companion. Matching rewards...] [They will all be issued together once you leave Dragon Valley!]
Excellent!
It was just like when he had first gotten together with Wang Qiu'er.
There was no need for overly intimate interactions to receive substantial rewards.
As he looked at the bashful Dragon Maidens on his left and right.
He heard the system's reward notification.
Luo Feng could wait no longer.
So, with an arm around each of them, he swaggered toward the bronze gate at the valley entrance.
As the saying went, unfamiliar the first time, familiar the second.
By now, he knew his way in and out of the valley well!
Hum!
Clang!
Another burst of dazzling light instantly enveloped the three of them.
Fortunately, the process lasted only a few seconds.
When their vision returned.
The three of them were back beside the stream where they had previously encountered Zi JI.
But something seemed to have changed here.
There was now a burly figure standing by the stream with his back to them.
It was a man wearing a black robe with gold patterns, carrying an air of authority without anger.
He had dark-gold dragon horns on his forehead and a pair of black dragon wings.
Was this...?
Beast God Di Tian?
At the sight of that back, Luo Feng's heart immediately lurched.
The two Dragon Maiden beauties in his arms also trembled all over upon seeing that figure.
Wang Qiu'er even let out a low cry!
"Uncle Di Tian, why are you here?"
It really was him!
"Qiu'er, Zi JI, can either of you tell me what's going on?"
Sensing the auras of the three people behind him.
Beast God Di Tian slowly turned around.
His solemn, gloomy face bore a murderous air...
"Lord Di Tian, hear me out!"
"A Feng, he..."
Acting on reflex.
Zi JI stepped straight forward, shielding Luo Feng behind her.
But Di Tian showed her no consideration.
His tone grew increasingly grim as well.
"A Feng?"
"How affectionately you address him!"
"What? First the Auspicious Beast, and now even you, Zi JI, have been lured away by this human brat?"
