"Me? Join you? You want me, the great Dragon Mother, Baili'er Blach, to join a little dragon whelp like you? Are you joking?
That joke isn't funny at all!"
The Dragon Mother's expression instantly darkened, and she looked ready to kill a dragon.
She felt she had been looked down on.
"The Descenders have a saying: a wise man knows when to yield to circumstances.
I find it very interesting, and very sensible.
I may be young, but my potential is limitless.
Lady Barbara joined me precisely because she recognized that.
Your wisdom far surpasses Lady Barbara's, Mother. Surely you can see it too?
Your Green Forest is already gone. Even if you make a comeback later, what do you plan to do? Gather another group of retainers, occupy a territory, and fight the surrounding powers to the death?
Only to be driven away by Metal Dragons in the end?
That isn't what a clever dragon should do."
Xiluo shook his head, looking as though he was doing this for her own good.
He sent the Dragon Mother's blood pressure soaring.
Her alluring face flushed crimson.
If they hadn't been in the Royal Capital, she would have struck right then and taught this little whelp who dared look down on her a proper lesson!
"Don't compare me to the likes of Barbara!
You little whelp, how dare you act so arrogantly before me? Do you think I can't deal with you just because I'm injured?"
The Dragon Mother threatened him, trying to intimidate Xiluo.
Instead, Xiluo blinked and said earnestly,
"Mother, with all due respect, in your current condition, you really can't deal with me."
"!"
At those words, the Dragon Mother's face twitched violently.
"Fine! Just fine! You little dragon whelp, you really don't think anything of me anymore.
