“I promise you, if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely help you.”
Mo Li could only make such a promise.
“Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”
“No need to thank me, all I can offer is just a promise.”
“No, your promise is enough. I believe that as a great descendant of the Dragon God, you will keep your word. Just don’t forget this small promise when you achieve great success.”
Achieve great success…
yeah right, it’s already good enough if I don’t die on the streets one day.
In this world, some people are already giving their all just to stay alive.
“Your great kindness, I will repay with my life.”
As Nolai spoke, he slightly nodded, and a red dragon horn-shaped horn, the size of a finger, floated in front of Mo Li.
“What is this?”
“This is a horn to summon me.
Although you are a descendant of the Qian Bai Yu, due to age restrictions, you cannot fully utilize your bloodline’s power.
Until you grow stronger, let me protect you.”
“As long as you blow this horn in this forest, I will come to your aid.
However, be aware that I can only hear it if it’s blown within this forest.”
“Lord Nolai, I have a question.
Why don’t you return to the City of the Sky yourself?”
“You may not know.”
Nolai sighed, shaking his massive dragon head.
“My father was a member of the brown dragon clan, residing on the outskirts of the City of the Sky under the protection of the Qian Bai Yu.
But he fell in love with a beast tribe member from outside, my mother, and they had me, a half-dragon.”
“Our family was exiled because of this, and after much hardship, only I survived.
Now I hide in this forest, not daring to move beyond hunting.”
Mo Li listened quietly.
This conversation revealed an important piece of information: the dragon race is indeed very exclusive and holds a strong prejudice against half-bloods.
She somewhat understood why Elsa warned her not to interact with the Qian Bai Yu.
“Our brown dragon clan is considered one of the weaker dragon species.
This matter wasn’t significant enough for the Qian Bai Yu to know, so I think if it’s you, you can do it…
This happened many years ago, and now my parents are gone.
At the very least, I want to bury their ashes back in our homeland.”
“…I can only say I’ll try my best.”
“With your words, I am relieved.”
“…But I’m also a half-blood.
How am I supposed to help you?”
“Your cloak is already too tattered to use.
As a token of gratitude, let me give you another gift.”
Before the words were finished, a white cloak draped over Mo Li’s shoulders.
The cloak had a unique design, with the hem made of separate pointed leaf-like strips, resembling the nine tails of a fox when walking.
It was entirely white with red edges and adorned with golden patterns.
In terms of appearance, it was very stylish, enough to ignite the chuunibyou spirit of a teenager.
“This cloak was made by a fox spirit.
It’s a spatial cloak that can store items. A small gift to express my gratitude.”
“This, I think it’s unnecessary.”
As someone who was poor, Mo Li loved to take advantage of opportunities, but she would never take advantage of a lifesaver.
In her view, the promise was to repay the favor, and besides, this promise was unlikely to be fulfilled.
“Lord Qian Bai Yu, I am already very grateful for your willingness to communicate with me.
This cloak is the only enchanted item I can offer, please don’t disdain it.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Mo Li didn’t act pretentious.
Since the other party insisted on giving it, he didn’t refuse.
Spatial enchanted items were exclusive to the fox spirits, and their rarity was self-evident.
Even the treasure-hoarding dragons found it difficult to collect spatial enchanted treasures under the fox clan’s monopoly.
Having such a cloak for storage was naturally very convenient.
“Lord Qian Bai Yu, please do not forget this promise.”
Nolai’s gift-giving was, of course, with ulterior motives.
She hoped these gifts would make Mo Li remember her and not forget her matter.
“As long as I’m alive, I will remember.”
But even if she remembers, she might be powerless.
“By the way, Lord Nolai, do you know the way to the Count Cuika’s territory?”
After a simple direction, Nolai watched the young dragon leave, her massive figure gradually disappearing into the forest.
She had been trapped in this forest for several years, not having seen her kin for decades, and was in a dilemma.
Although she knew the hope was slim, she could only pin her hopes of returning home on this young Qian Bai Yu who happened to pass by.
Meanwhile, this unnamed forest located at the junction of the Viscount Minster’s territory and Count Cuika’s territory welcomed an extraordinary traveler.
“Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling…”
The bells tied to her ankles made a crisp and pleasant sound.
The wide-sleeved robe with a cross-collar was embroidered with patterns of fluttering petals, and the curvaceous body outlined the girl’s enchanting curves.
The milky white over-the-knee socks perfectly showcased the absolute territory between the skirt hem and the semi-transparent long socks, and a pair of wooden clogs made a light sound as they stepped on the ground.
Suddenly, the girl in the wide robe stopped in her tracks.
She sensed something and looked in a certain direction, silently removing the cloak that covered her face.
A head of pure ice-blue hair cascaded down her shoulders, reaching her thighs, and her fluffy, adorable fox ears stood upright now that they were no longer being pressed down.
The girl’s appearance was like a blue enchantress blooming amidst the ice and snow, still youthful, yet exuding a captivating allure.
Pure and seductive, these two seemingly contradictory traits both belonged to her, each brought to its utmost potential.
Perhaps a mere glance from a mortal would be enough to be captivated by her innate charm and exquisite, holy appearance, falling completely in love with her.
It was a nobility and grace that came from her very bloodline, as if every strand of her hair was elegant and proper.
This allure was an addictive poison to the opposite sex, impossible to resist or quit.
The fox-eared girl slowly opened her eyes, which sparkled like crystals, one purple and one ice-blue, and looked thoughtfully in a certain direction.
Wearing a headscarf was not just to conceal her fox ears, but also to hide her appearance, as the looks of the fox tribe were an irresistible temptation to the opposite sex.
“Your Holiness, what’s wrong?”
Beside her, a fox maid about the same age as the girl asked as she saw her stop.
“…It’s the scent of Qian Baiyu,” the fox-eared girl said softly after a moment.
“Qian Baiyu??”
The fox maid was taken aback.
“You mean Qian Baiyu of the City of the Sky?”
The fox-eared girl nodded, then suddenly quickened her pace.
“Hey, Your Holiness, wait for me!”
Seeing her mistress suddenly use blood magic to move swiftly as if eager to find someone, the maid hurriedly followed without saying anything more.
“…It’s around here,” the fox-eared girl stopped, tapping her wooden clogs, her gaze fixed on the wet, muddy ground beneath her feet.
The scent ended here.
“Huh?… But I don’t smell anything, Your Holiness.
Could you have been mistaken?
This forest is rumored to have dragons, but maybe they’re just ordinary dragons.
How could it be Qian Baiyu?”
“Speaking of which, Your Holiness, since when did you become so interested in those stinky dragons?”
The maid was puzzled, thinking back, it seemed her mistress had never had any contact with the Qian Baiyu clan since childhood.
“Those rude, unreasonable dragons who love to sleep on piles of gold coins and have no personal hygiene, what’s there to be interested in?”
Aurevigia’s impression of Qian Baiyu was extremely poor from top to bottom.
For some reason, the relationship between these two mythical races had been bad since ancient times.
The fox-eared girl ignored her maid’s chatter, bending down to poke at the damp ground beneath her feet.
There was a stench… “What is this?”
The fox-eared girl tilted her head, her icy eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
