Actions Speak Louder Than Words

"Hmm? This isn't right, is it?"

Seeing the Longwang Clan in this state, a dragon immediately looked at Long Xiao.

The Longwang Clan's current actions are far too decisive.

They were so straightforward that they even seemed to have a lot of confidence in them.

"Could it be that they've been intentionally keeping the Atavism hidden all along? Waiting to see our reaction?"

"Logically speaking, the matter of Atavism ancestral form is far more important than the Dragon Emperor's status. The Dragon Ancestor have known or seen it immediately. Now that he's so decisive, is he going to turn around and blame us for what we did?"

"..."

While gazing at the dragon scales, they secretly discussed the matter, and before long, many of them felt something was amiss.

"What's the panic?"

Long Xiao's voice rang out:

"Having held the position of Dragon Emperor for so many years, how could I possibly have done it without some skill in bluffing?"

"Over the years, he has kept many things from us, and there are many things he is unwilling to mention. He doesn't want us to know the truth, so he must have some concerns."

Don't you want to know?

After finishing speaking, Long Xiao paused, then changed the subject, saying:

"The Dragon Emperor is currently ignorant of the situation and cannot see the bigger picture, but how could the Dragon Ancestor not understand?"

"Once the Dragon Ancestor emerges and learns of these matters, he will surely make the right decision."

During the conversation.

At this moment.

In the distance, deep within the earth, a sudden surge of energy emanated.

Rumble.

The ground rumbled and groaned, and in the blink of an eye, dust billowed into the sky.

The next moment, a sound came from beneath the ground, echoing throughout the area:

What major event has occurred among the Dragon Race?

As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon shadow appeared in mid-air. It was enormous and majestic, and although it was old, it showed no signs of weakness.

"Dragon Ancestor."

All the dragons present, including those from the Longwang Clan, bowed slightly and spoke respectfully towards this dragon.

To become Dragon Ancestor is not simply a matter of age and strength; one must have had a distinguished record in their youth.

And Long Yi in front of us is exactly like that.

"How?"

Long Yi's gaze swept across the field, and he immediately asked:

"Judging from your expressions, is there some conflict within the clan?"

After speaking, his gaze fell on the Longwang Clan, and he said:

"But what is it that's making them unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Longwang Clan nodded, looked at Long Xiao, and said:

"The Dragon Ancestor has appeared; speak now."

Long Yi's gaze then fell on Long Xiao.

Long Xiao took a deep breath and spoke:

"Dragon Ancestor, we do have some dissatisfaction with the actions of the Longwang Clan, but this is not directed at him personally. It's just that as the Dragon Emperor, there are some things we cannot do too excessively."

Long Yi nodded:

"Yes, being the Dragon Emperor is an identity, but more importantly, it's a responsibility. Tell me, what are your duties?"

Long Xiao nodded, glanced at the Longwang Clan, and then said:

"Let me start with something earlier."

"Many years ago, a powerful Human Race dared to act arrogantly in my Dragon Race's territory, claiming he was just taking a casual stroll."

"That time, the Longwang Clan attacked him, but we didn't see the outcome of the battle. We only heard him say that the arrogant Human Race had been defeated, but there's nothing to prove it."

"Only the Longwang Clan truly knows the truth, but we feel that this matter concerns the clan's overall confidence, and it would be inappropriate to simply gloss over it, especially since..."

Long Xiao's voice trailed off slightly as he looked at the Longwang Clan, tracing his body from midsection to rear.

Only after the Longwang Clan's expression changed slightly did Long Xiao speak:

"Not long ago, news spread that the Longwang Clan lost that battle, and that the arrogant Human Race even carved words on the Longwang Clan's testicles as a form of humiliation."

"The Human Race' pride in this matter is perhaps just one of their despicable tactics, an attempt to sow distrust among us and make us suspicious of each other."

"But,"

Long Xiao glanced at the other dragons around him and continued:

"As the Dragon Emperor, it's impossible that I haven't considered these things. Even if this is just a rumor, fabricated by Human Race, I can clearly sense the doubts in everyone's hearts, and I should find a way to resolve them to avoid internal conflicts."

Hearing this, Long Yi nodded slightly and said:

"You make a good point, so what?"

"Then, in reality, the Longwang Clan simply brushed it off with an indifferent attitude."

"The explanation given was that this was a common saying among Human Race and not to be believed, so it was suppressed."

"We don't believe it. He really can't sense that we care about this!"

After Long Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the Longwang Clan.

Longwang Clan looked at Long Xiao and sighed softly:

"Long Xiao, you're being too sensitive."

"Me, sensitive?" Long Xiao sneered.

"Your testicles are more sensitive. Didn't it hurt when you had your words carved on them?"

Longwang Clan looked at Long Xiao:

"So you're saying this because you're convinced there are already words on my testicles?"

Long Xiao narrowed his eyes, not letting himself be led astray by the Longwang Clan's words, but instead said:

"Let the facts speak for themselves. There's nothing shameful about testicles. Show them to the world, and everything will be clear."

After speaking, without waiting for the Longwang Clan's response, Long Xiao turned to look at Long Yi and said:

"Now that the Dragon Ancestor is present, we hope that this matter can dispel our doubts."

Long Yi looked at the Longwang Clan and said:

"Wangzu, do you have anything to say?"

Longwang Clan shook his head:

Facts speak louder than words.

"Good."

Long Yi raised his voice slightly:

"Give up resistance."

As the sound faded, its power enveloped the Longwang Clan.

The Longwang Clan consciously withdrew their strength.

The next moment, in front of all the dragons, Long Yi turned Longwang Clan over, flipped him over so that his belly was facing up, directly in front of all the dragons present.

All the dragons turned their gaze toward the scales covering the eggs of the Longwang Clan.

Long Xiao examined the details with extreme care, trying to find some evidence in the smallest of things.

Brush.

A force landed on a scale on the back of the Longwang Clan's abdomen.

Immediately, the scales began to move, and the connections between them loosened, quickly turning into a soft little pile.

All eyes turned to examine the small pile closely in the blink of an eye.

There are no Human Race writing systems or symbols.

"Could it really be on the eggs inside?"

An idea flashed through the minds of many dragons.

At this moment, Long Yi spoke up:

"Bear with it."

As the sound faded, it raised its claws, the sharp tips slicing across the pile.

After the first stroke, a squeeze followed by force.

Kiss

Two pink and dewy orbs, one on the left and one on the right, appeared outside the body and were seen by the dragons.

Brush.

As the force swept over, all the dragon blood on the surface disappeared.

Long Yi raised his claw and waved it lightly, causing the two eggs to spin around and be fully displayed.

After a short display...

Long Yi's gaze fell on Long Xiao and his group of dragons. He shook Longwang Clan's testicles and said:

"Do you still have any doubts about this matter?"
