Qiao Yi was not hostile in nature. Two hundred years ago, everyone was living in harmony. Ka Daiwen was chasing after Bai Wu, with Qiao Yi close behind and Hong tagging along. Their relationship was like a snake with the tail in its mouth, endlessly chasing after one another. However, time was not akin to fine wine whereby it would mellow down over the years.

Since Bai Ling was devoured by the Mother Nest, Bai Wu had no reservations and treated Ka Daiwen as a sister. He was still young at that time but there were already some plots going on within the clan. If it was not for his bloodline, his situation might be even grimmer.

Ka Daiwen was someone who only remembered the good things. One moment, she was weeping, grieving to Qiao Yi about Bai Wu’s heartlessness, but once Bai Wu returned, she would be ecstatic. Qiao Yi could only watch her with a bitter heart and sore eyes. Tang patted on Qiao Yi’s shoulders to comfort him. Similar to how Ka Daiwen only had eyes for Bai Wu and none for Qiao Yi, Qiao Yi only noticed Ka Daiwen and not Tang’s sister. The entanglement between them were interlocked with each other, there was no way out.

Hong was Tang’s younger sister. She was rather feisty and had a voluptuous body. She was nothing like Ka Daiwen’s refined elegance, and her ideas were rather short-sighted. Hong secretly gave Ka Daiwen the nutmegs that she discovered during her flight while she crouched beside her and whispered beside her ear.

Ka Daiwen’s wings flapped gently, alternating between a fast and steady tempo. Finally, she took the nutmegs from Hong’s hand and asked Bai Wu out to practice flying. During practice, Ka Daiwen had an accident, where Bai Wu tried to save her but ended up hurting himself. Qiao Yi rushed over right after Ka Daiwen passed the nutmegs to Bai Wu.

Two dragons were cuddling in the greenish-blue lake, one was white and the other was black. It was such a garish sight! He stared with his blood-shot eyes, it was as if he was drenched with boiling chili oil from his head onwards. The jealousy in his heart was like green grass fields that finally received the spring breeze, growing frantically over the whole mountain. Suddenly, a pair of flapping jet-black wings grabbed Ka Daiwen.

Ka Daiwen was stunned. She had no idea why was Qiao Yi here. How could he be restrained by a firewall, Qiao Yi was unable to utter a word since he lost his voice.

“Why are you here?” Ka Daiwen asked angrily with an exasperated expression.

‘Why am I here? I followed you everywhere day in, day out, but you just never noticed that there was a Qiao Yi behind you. Your eyes could only see Bai Wu who knew nothing about love!’

Qiao Yi did not speak. Ka Daiwen’s questioning was already bitter enough to leave him speechless. From this moment onwards, the seed of hatred reached the point of no return and grew into a towering tree. It went on up until today…

The dainty little black cat perched on Bai Wu’s shoulder while fireballs blotted out the sky. The heatwave burnt down all the trees along the path, the moisture in the trunk was vaporized into white foam while making hissing sounds.

Qiao Yi roared until both his eyes were blood-red and extended his wings to fly over. He was almost at the verge of exhaustion, but before he could even gather his strength again, he forced himself to catch hold of another fireball. The smell of burnt flesh lingered around the nose, six meters of wings were spread out and barbequed until they were crispy. Xiao Yi spat a mouthful of blood onto the floor with a muffled sound.

“I’ll follow you back if you let Bai Wu go today!” Ka Daiwen curled up on Bai Wu’s shoulder and said. Her fur was almost burnt off due to the heatwave.

“You… you’re willing to follow me back?” His voice was filled with joy, where he turned over instantly to look at her. He was trying to suppress his anger after seeing her condition before he reached out his dragon claws carefully to retrieve her.

“Cough… cough. No! She can’t go back with you!” Although Qiao Yi shielded some of the fireballs, Bai Wu was still badly injured. His silverish white scales were smoked until they were pitch black, but he was struggling to hold himself up and not collapse!

“Pfft! Who do you think you are? How dare you stop her?” Qiao Yi whipped his dragon tail and smacked Bai Wu on the leg with a ‘pang’. He took a few steps back to prevent his newly recovered leg from breaking again. Bai Wu’s body was already worn out after battling the army of dragons all by himself. His foundation was not that stable in the first place. It was an arduous task to fight with Qiao Yi who was in his peak performance.

“You have to come with me, but I can’t let Bai Wu go either!” Qiao Yi’s tone was vicious as he tried to forcefully snatch Ka Daiwen over.

“I’ll go back with you! I will mate and raise baby dragons with you. However, if you harm Bai Wu—even if you send out ten armies or a hundred armies of dragons—you will never have me.” Ka Daiwen said calmly.

Qiao Yi was ecstatic, but after giving it a thought, he felt pathetic. Bai Wu was already banned from returning to the dragon clan, Qiao Yi sent out such an enormous army in a hurry just because Bai Wu took away Ka Daiwen when the dimension collapsed. Whenever he thought of how Ka Daiwen abandoned him mercilessly and ran towards Bai Wu, Qiao Yi would be enraged with jealousy!

“Okay, okay, I’ll let him go! You’re really coming back with me right, Ryle?” Qiao Yi asked eagerly with a burning gaze.

Ka Daiwen nodded. A furless cat was not easy on the eye, but Qiao Yi felt that she was the prettiest Ryle. The razor-sharp dragon claws slowly retracted while he retrieved her carefully.

“Cough… cough… Ka Daiwen! You can’t do this!” Bai Wu vomited blood out of desperation, but he was not able to compete with Qiao Yi.

Ka Daiwen’s meaty paw stepped onto the solid black dragon claw, where she was met with an embrace instantly. Bai Wu tried to stop them, but he was hit with a fireball as big as a table—bang!

“Ryle! Ryle! I knew you will return!” Qiao Yi was like a child with candy. He spread his jet-black wings and curled up his long tail as he held Ka Daiwen up and spun around!

“Go and look for Xu Lan. Actually, Qiao Yi really likes me. I’m a little tired watching you two displaying your affection towards each other. However, don’t forget what I told you!” Ka Daiwen said calmly while she was lifted by Qiao Yi and spun around like a sphinx cat.

“…”

“Humph! Since Ryle had already said it out, I won’t make things difficult for you, but you won’t be so lucky if we meet again in the future!” Qiao Yi told Bai Wu scornfully.

Bai Wu’s sat on the ground and could not get up—his shin bone broke again. He gritted his teeth and stared at Qiao Yi! ‘My current strength is still too weak! Too weak!’ He roared in his heart. His eyes were crimson-red, with his scales rattling loudly.

“Let’s go, Ryle. You have no idea, the elders urged me to breed dragon hatchlings every year, but I…” His eyes reddened as he spoke. His fascia opened and shut rhythmically as if he was trying to hide the excess emotions.

“Master! Save me please, they extracted my dragon bone! I’m no different from those lowly humans anymore!” Li Xiu wailed and whine when he saw Qiao Yi leaving. Xu Lan was too busy evacuating the crowd that he totally forgot that Li Xiu was still in the police station.

“Pfft, you didn’t do as you were told and still dare to show up in front of me? I’d saved you twice already, why should I save you a third time?” Qiao Yi scoffed and said. He lowered his voice to the minimum because he was afraid that he would upset Ka Daiwen.

The black mist and thick clouds slowly gathered around Qiao Yi. The sky gradually turned bright again and the thunders slowly came to an end. After Qiao Yi was covered entirely in the black mist, they disappeared in a blink of an eye. The sight of the aftermath was unbearable—the path, houses, and trees were all scattered in a mess. The citizens that were hiding previously emerged and started to clean the roads and help the wounded. Those who helped and the ones being saved embraced and wept with joy as they carried them to the ambulance.

Bai Wu retracted from his dragon form and stared at the scene in front of him dully. His hatred for humans was not as strong as before. It might be because he stayed there for such an extended period of time, or it could be because of Xu Lan.
