Xiao Yue, who had always been a beloved pet, had never suffered such humiliation. The white wolf ears on her head perked up in anger.
Her cyan eyes instantly turned into beastly vertical pupils, and she looked dangerously at the Dragon Girl, who was completely unconcerned.
The two sisters beside her, who had been feeling a little down, sensed the change in atmosphere and quickly stepped forward, reaching out their small hands to hold Xiao Yue:
"Wolfie, don't fight..."
The Dragon Girl's gaze grew more contemptuous, and she provocatively hooked her left hand:
"Weakling, come."
Even with ninety-nine percent of her power suppressed by Chen Luo's order, the Dragon Girl was confident she could subdue the wolf girl in front of her with one hand.
However, if she weren't gnawing on a roasted suckling pig at the moment, she might appear more imposing.
Unlike the wolf pack, who valued the collective and family, and the two little ones who had accepted human values.
The Dragon Girl had been an individual from birth. In her tens of thousands of years of wandering, she had lived most of her life according to instinct and the laws of nature.
Therefore, she only recognized Chen Luo as the one who had defeated her. And this wolf girl in front of her dared to try and steal her food!
"Let me use one hand! I'll beat you flat!"
Her dragon eyes shone with golden majesty, and her aura gradually rose, making the atmosphere in the arena dangerous.
However, since she hadn't unleashed her domain power, Xiao Yue could still withstand it.
Xiao Yue's cyan eyes flashed with a hint of anger. The next moment, she pushed off the ground, her figure turning into an illusion as she charged towards the Dragon Girl.
"Weak!"
The Dragon Girl stood her ground, showing no intention of dodging. Although Xiao Yue's speed was incredibly fast with the boost of lunar power, the Dragon Girl didn't believe she could inflict any damage.
And as a strong being, she had no intention of attacking first. Let this weakling make the first move!
I, the great Frostborn, can withstand any attack!
A white blur passed by the Dragon Girl.
The Dragon Girl turned around in confusion and looked behind her:
"Wolf weakling, can't hit?"
But when she saw what was behind her, the Dragon Girl froze, her small hand loosened, and her beloved roasted suckling pig fell to the ground.
She saw that Xiao Yue, who had just passed her, was standing behind Chen Luo with a look of indignation, pointing a fair finger at the Dragon Girl:
"Master! Awooo!! (This one bullied me and your disciple!!)"
Xiao Yue, excited, once again called out in her native tongue.
The clever Xiao Yue, seeing that the situation was not good, directly called for her guardian.
The Dragon Girl didn't understand wolf language, but looking at Xiao Yue at this moment, she suddenly understood.
I can't block this move...
Chen Luo, who had been watching the entire time and was about to intervene, looked at his "wolf leg" behind him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
This silly wolf, why is she so smart at this moment?
Chen Luo flashed his body, appearing beside the Dragon Girl. He casually summoned a Food Spirit, replaced the soiled roasted suckling pig with a new one, and offered it to the Dragon Girl.
As the Dragon Girl hesitated, Chen Luo directly stuffed the roasted suckling pig into her hand:
"Take it. Don't worry, I am her master, and I am your master too."
After a hesitant nod, the Dragon Girl couldn't resist the temptation of food and started eating again.
Chen Luo looked at this gluttonous Dragon Girl, his mouth twitching slightly.
This creature, I once considered her my lifelong enemy?
Feeling that his past goal had been insulted, Chen Luo felt a pang of melancholy.
However, he didn't forget the main task. Chen Luo waved to the slightly nervous little sisters and the stunned Xiao Yue, pulling them all over.
Looking at the four little ones before him, Chen Luo suddenly felt like a father.
Shaking his head, the young man, not yet twenty, dispelled this paternal feeling and said seriously to the Dragon Girl:
"Violet, I am stronger than you, but I will not look down on you, nor will I call you weakling all the time."
"Xiao Yue, Ruo Shui, and Ruo Xue are all companions I recognize, so I hope you will recognize them too."
The Dragon Girl looked up, her tender lips glistening with oil, which made Chen Luo's eyes twitch.
This... is actually my former lifelong enemy....
The Dragon Girl didn't understand.
Just as she didn't understand why she had recognized the boy who dared to look up at her, nor why she had protected the soldiers who had attacked her.
They were all weaklings, yet she seemed to have acknowledged them.
The Dragon Girl, who wandered the void alone, had only the simple concepts of strength and weakness in her life experience.
The strong were accompanied by the lonely starry sky, while the weak banded together for survival.
But this strong being before her, whom she completely recognized, still acknowledged these incredibly weak people as his companions.
The Dragon Girl didn't understand Chen Luo's choice, but she respected Chen Luo's will.
She nodded seriously at Chen Luo:
"Okay! I recognize them as my companions!"
With that, the Dragon Girl turned abruptly and flashed to Xiao Yue's side.
Xiao Yue's ears shot up in surprise, and she quickly shielded the two little ones behind her:
"Awooo!! (What are you doing!!)"
The Dragon Girl suddenly stopped in front of Xiao Yue. After a moment of hesitation, she looked back at Chen Luo, as if she had made up her mind.
"Here! Companions! Share!"
Although her gaze was reluctant, the Dragon Girl extended her hand and offered her treasured roasted suckling pig.
Xiao Yue didn't feel the previous condescending arrogance, but rather a clarity and sincerity like ice crystals.
Xiao Yue's guard slightly relaxed. After habitually sniffing with her little nose, she tentatively reached out her hand.
But the Dragon Girl reacted faster.
Swish!
Her outstretched hand was suddenly withdrawn. Under Chen Luo's twitching gaze, the Dragon Girl took another bite before offering the roasted suckling pig again:
"Delicious! You, eat too!"
Xiao Yue looked at the Dragon Girl, who was speaking with a slight slur due to chewing, and after a moment of stunned silence, she couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, you greedy thing."
The Dragon Girl tilted her head and said incomprehensibly:
"Greedy? This is the first time I've eaten anything, but it's really delicious. You all eat too."
"I listen to Master. You, are companions."
In a daze, Xiao Yue seemed to see a cub in her past life's pack, just beginning to adapt to its companions.
Then, a white blur flashed. Xiao Yue didn't take the suckling pig the Dragon Girl liked, but instead offered a food she preferred:
"Here, companion, share. Try my favorite food."
The two little ones behind Xiao Yue's eyes lit up. They also quickly ran to the dining table transformed by "Shi Wei Tian" (Food is Heaven), took their favorite food from the chef-attired Food Spirits, and ran towards the Dragon Girl:
"Dragon-Dragon, eat."
"We are companions, and friends."
The Dragon Girl, somewhat flustered, accepted the food offered by the three little ones. A feeling she had never experienced before surged in her heart.
The strong were not necessarily destined to be lonely; people needed to support each other to find their place.
Chen Luo watched the four little ones interact with satisfaction, a paternal smile appearing on his lips.
