"Fire Fox, you never told me about this?"
Wang Shouzhe stared at Ancestor Fire Fox in stunned disbelief.
Primordial Water Azure Dragon's little-girl manner of speaking hit him like a thunderclap. Thinking back on everything they had done to Primordial Water Azure Flood Dragon, he suddenly felt guilty, as though he had been abusing a minor.
Th-This, this was just too...
"Brother Shouzhe, you never asked." Ancestor Fire Fox looked utterly innocent, her pretty eyes whirling as they rolled. "Oh no, Brother Shouzhe, you must hold fast to your true heart. Remember what you promised me: before I take human form, you're not allowed to dual cultivate with any other Spirit Beast, especially not—"
"I won't! Don't worry."
Before Ancestor Fire Fox could finish, Wang Shouzhe hurriedly cut her off, breaking out in a cold sweat. What a joke. Only a ghost would dual cultivate with a Spirit Beast... much less a baby dragon...
"Hehehe~ Brother Shouzhe, you're the best." Ancestor Fire Fox burrowed into his arms, smiling especially sweetly and blissfully.
Seeing her like this, Wang Shouzhe felt rather helpless. Forget it, forget it~ He would just treat her as a battle pet that could talk and act cute.
While the man and fox spoke, Primordial Water Azure Dragon had already begun excitedly soaring through the waters and into the sky.
Her massive body wound through the lake and darted amid the clouds, treading on vapor beneath the blue heavens. With every breath, she swallowed clouds and exhaled mist; her roars boomed like thunder. She truly now had something of the bearing of an ancient divine beast's bloodline.
Before transforming into a dragon, her roars had been closer to beastly howls. But now, whenever she raised her head, what emerged were soaring dragon chants—long and distant, ringing through heaven
