Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Si Mingjing’s Transformation, The Birth of the Giant Dragon! 2
Mo Yinhe immediately hugged the Giant Dragon.
Usually, when he hugged her, it was a man embracing a woman, a protective gesture. But now, as he spread his arms wide and embraced the dragon, he was the one being protected.
"Mo Yinhe, hold on tight! It’s time to strike back!"
This was her first time transforming into a Giant Dragon, and the excitement was indescribable. It is said that dragons can stir the seas and overturn the rivers, and now she wanted to experience what that felt like.
The feeling was this: the entire tranquil undersea became dramatically turbulent, tossing everyone around, making them unable to stand steady!
This was absolute dominance!
So exhilarating!
A stark contrast to the earlier frustration!
Si Mingjing was like a playful child, frolicking in the water, launching a furious, unstoppable counter-attack.
"A dragon!"
"A dragon!"
"She’s a dragon!"
"She’s from the most noble Dragon Clan of Mu Continent!"
Those who had been plotting to assassinate Si Mingjing were stunned, petrified! They fled in all directions! Even the submarine drivers didn’t dare to launch torpedoes to attack Si Mingjing. Because those who kill dragons will face relentless vengeance from Mu Continent! How could they dare strike at a dragon?
Suddenly, Si Mingjing swallowed a mouthful of seawater. Then, she forcefully spat it out. The scene was like a massive fountain bursting forth from the Giant Dragon’s mouth, sweeping away more than twenty submarines and all the people in the water. This even included Qu Liushang, who had been utterly dumbfounded since the moment Si Mingjing transformed into a Giant Dragon.
Qu Liushang, blasted over twenty meters away by the water sprayed from the Giant Dragon, came to his senses and suddenly shouted, "Ajiu!"
Si Mingjing is Ajiu! Si Mingjing is really Ajiu! His long-standing uncertainty was confirmed in this moment! What Mo Yinhe had said turned out to be true! His fiancée had returned! Mo Yinhe had recognized Ajiu early on, but he had failed to do so, losing the initiative once again! Thinking of how he had never shown Si Mingjing a pleasant expression, Qu Liushang was filled with bitter regret.
Qu Liushang wanted to swim over, but the force of the water was too strong, pushing him further and further away...
The Giant Dragon, after causing a stir, turned and fled. Before escaping, it circled above the Royal Capital, coiling and spiraling with a daunting howl, then soaring away. Many of the undersea residents of the Royal Capital witnessed this spectacle.
Si Mingjing surged upward from the seabed, searching for her senior brother. Zhang Muguang, protected by the Force Field Protective Shield, kept rising, rising, rising, surrounded by silence, with no one else around.
As he was lost and bewildered, a Giant Dragon suddenly surged up from the seabed.
Zhang Muguang’s jaw dropped in shock. Th-th-this... What is this? A dragon? Am I hallucinating? I must be hallucinating! Otherwise, how could there be dragons in this world?
"Senior brother."
That Giant Dragon suddenly called out to him.
Zhang Muguang was completely petrified. He was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.
Giant Dragon: "..."
"Mo Yinhe, quickly grab my senior brother. I’ll take you both out of here," Si Mingjing called out helplessly.
Mo Yinhe didn’t want to bother with Zhang Muguang at all. He would rather have left him to fend for himself in the sea.
"Hurry up!" the Giant Dragon barked sharply.
Mo Yinhe grabbed Zhang Muguang, who had fainted from fright.
A small, feisty dragon might be tolerable, but it’s best not to provoke a large, feisty one, Mo Yinhe thought. He was still pondering. This girl’s identity can no longer be concealed. The ensuing troubles... just thinking about them is a headache! What’s worse is that not long ago, I personally promised Qu Liushang to allow him fair competition. I regret that to my very core right now! I wish I could go back and stomp my past self into a mud pit. Was that kind of promise something to be given so casually? I’ve really dug a huge pit for myself.
Without a moment’s delay, the Giant Dragon burst forth from the calm sea surface, shooting straight up into the sky above the ocean.
For Si Mingjing, the experience was incredibly cool and invigorating! Her voice was filled with unparalleled excitement. "Mo Yinhe, I absolutely love this moment! What about you?"
Unexpectedly, Mo Yinhe said, "I prefer your little cute dragon form, cuddly and soft when held in my arms, both cute and adorable."
"Can cuteness be eaten as food?"
Si Mingjing felt Mo Yinhe had no taste. Only a Giant Dragon like this, capable of crushing everything, truly captures my heart! I prefer being strong and invincible!
Si Mingjing, tireless, soared through the clouds in the blue sky, galloping freely.
She said, "I’ll take you flying back to Xingguang Island!"
"It’s too far, and we might be spotted by people on land. Let’s find an island to land on, and I’ll have someone come to get us." Mo Yinhe didn’t want her to overexert herself. Flying back to Xingguang Island would take several hours. If she really flew all the way back, she’d be exhausted to death.
...
「Meanwhile,」
News of Si Mingjing turning into a Giant Dragon had reached the Royal Palace of Gendaya Country. The Queen had been waiting for news of Si Mingjing’s execution, never expecting this turn of events. It struck her like a bolt from the blue; she simply couldn’t believe it.
The Queen lashed out at her confidant, "What nonsense are you spouting! How could a girl from Prison Star possibly belong to the Dragon Clan?"
The confidant insisted loudly, "Your Majesty, it’s true, it was a dragon! Not only did we see it, but many in the Royal Capital did too! She turned into a Giant Dragon, and those we sent couldn’t dare to harm her. Whoever slays a dragon faces the relentless revenge of Mu Continent. Your Majesty, we can no longer kill Si Mingjing."
The Queen staggered, collapsing onto the carpet.
"How could this happen? How could this be? What about avenging my Yang’er’s severed arm?"
"Your Majesty, we can never touch her," the confidant replied.
To the Queen, this was an unbearably cruel reality.
Refusing to accept it, the Queen thundered, "Shut up! Just shut up! Bai Jiusi is about to marry my Yang’er. So what if Si Mingjing is a dragon? My future daughter-in-law is also a dragon, a legitimate dragon maiden from Mu Continent, not a wild dragon like Si Mingjing!"
The confidant thought, Wild or not, she’s still a dragon! Nobody dares to touch her, unless they want to make an enemy of Mu Continent.
The King of Gendaya went to rest. When he woke up, he learned of the Queen’s failed attempt to assassinate Si Mingjing, who had then transformed into a dragon and escaped.
That cunning girl is actually a dragon? The King of Gendaya was astounded, a chill running down his spine. Fortunately, I didn’t actually kill that girl. Otherwise, wouldn’t Mu Continent seek mad revenge?
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."
The Crown Prince was none other than Qu Liushang.
After freshening up, the King of Gendaya ordered Qu Liushang to be brought in. He sat in the dining hall, having finished his breakfast and a bowl of medicinal herbs prepared by Si Mingjing. Seeing his son walk in disheveled, he gestured for him to sit down for a meal.
"Father, Si Mingjing is Ajiu," Qu Liushang declared, devoid of any desire to eat. All he wanted now was to reclaim his fiancée.
"Nonsense, Ajiu is about to marry your brother," retorted the King.
"That Bai Jiusi from Mu Continent is a fraud!"
