116: Endless hatred

Deep within the East Sea.

The Dragon Palace stood majestic.

A pink Little Female Dragon appeared, transforming into the exquisite figure of a young girl. Floating behind her was a massive azure Dragon, already lifeless.

The Dragon's body was covered in wounds; large patches of Dragon scales had been forcibly torn off, and tendons were ripped out—it was a shocking sight!

"Greetings, Seventh Princess Your Highness!"

The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals guarding the Dragon Palace knelt one after another, trembling all over, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Heavens!

What were they seeing?

The corpse of a Pure-blooded Dragon Clan Member!

One must know that in the billions of years of the Mountain Sea Realm's history, there had never been a record of a Pure-blooded Dragon Clan Member being killed.

"Bury its corpse in the Dragon Tomb!"

Little Dragon Girl's voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of intense exhaustion.

The Dragon Tomb was the final resting place for generations of the Dragon Clan; buried there, Long Rui's tortured Soul from being murdered might find a sliver of peace.

"Yes!"

Several crab spirits dared not delay, carrying Long Rui's corpse toward the depths of the Dragon Palace... the Dragon Tomb.

For ten thousand years, it had been shrouded in a dark current of air, filled with the noble will of the Dragon Clan. Even after falling for countless years, that world-dominating arrogance could still be felt.

Other races did not dare to set foot here easily.

The girl's figure was graceful, with delicate pink Dragon scales covering her sensitive areas. She leaned against a newly erected spirit tablet, completely indifferent to her appearance.

Carved upon the tablet were Long Rui's Bloodline Legacy and life records.

"Why, why is it like this!"

Little Dragon Girl's pretty face twisted in pain, her left hand unconsciously clutching the dirt. Clear tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes; the immense agony almost made it impossible for her to breathe.

"Long Rui... he finally agreed to be my dual cultivation dao companion. This Princess finally found true love, yet it just had to..."

She tilted back her slender neck and poured strong liquor down her throat.

It was pungent and stinging, making her cough violently.

She vainly hoped this would help calm her emotions slightly.

"And Second Sister... we met in our youth, and she grew up with me. I thought our deep sisterly bond could break through racial barriers!"

"But why, why, why!"

Her roars grew louder and louder.

On one side was the dual cultivation dao companion she had chosen, and on the other was her sworn sister.

In just a few short minutes, everything was gone.

And it was her best sister who killed her Dao Companion!

Her heart was knotted, her delicate body curled into a ball of pain. In a daze, the world seemed to hold only her. Her heart was like dead ashes, and the thought of ending her life right there arose.

Just then, an incredibly massive body slowly drifted out of the darkness.

Coldness and ruthlessness were revealed in the dark green vertical pupils.

"Useless thing. How did I give birth to such a waste like you? Your dual cultivation dao companion was killed by the Human Race, and instead of thinking of revenge, you hide here crying. You are truly a disgrace to my Dragon Clan!"

The Black Dragon King's words were like a bolt of lightning striking Little Dragon Girl's mind.

They allowed her, on the brink of despair, to seemingly find a reason to live.

"Mother..."

"Do not call me mother!"

The Black Dragon King scolded coldly, her massive Dragon tail sweeping, stirring up a titanic whirlpool in the deep sea.

"Did you really think your private dealings with the Human Race could be hidden from me?"

"If this were any other Dragon girl, I would have thrown her into the Abyssal Flame Chasm long ago. But you are different; you are my most valued daughter. For such matters, I can turn a blind eye!"

"I just didn't expect you to be so foolish, being deceived like a pig!"

Hearing this, Little Dragon Girl's beautiful eyes showed a hint of confusion as she whispered, "Foolish?"

"That's right, foolish!" The Black Dragon King's vertical pupils swirled with an intoxicating vortex that seemed capable of manipulating the mind. She said coldly, "Do you know that your so-called sworn sister has actually been deceiving and using you all along!"

"Deceiving and using..." Little Dragon Girl looked dazed, subconsciously following the Black Dragon King's words as she asked, "What deception? What use?"

"That 'good sister' of yours has no ordinary identity. She is the only daughter of the Human Race's strongest expert, Su Jing. Her Cultivation talent is superlative. Do you know why she insisted on hiding her background while associating with you?"

Without waiting for Little Dragon Girl to respond, the Black Dragon King gave a definitive answer.

"She was afraid you would become wary!"

"Her talent actually comes from an ancient Cultivation Technique called the Dragon-Subduing Scripture. Anyone who creates or practices this Cultivation Technique is regarded by our Dragon Clan as a mortal enemy, to be executed by every Dragon!"

"Is it because..."

A suspicion formed in Little Dragon Girl's heart.

"Correct!"

The Black Dragon King nodded and continued, "The practice of this Cultivation Technique is related to our Dragon Clan in every way. Dragon blood, Dragon breath, Dragon essence, Dragon Qi, and so on can all significantly increase the practitioner's Realm!"

"And the most terrifying part is that the core Profound Truth of this Cultivation Technique is... Slaying Dragons to Attain the Dao!"

Hearing this, Little Dragon Girl was suddenly shaken and stood up in shock.

The vortexes in the Black Dragon King's eyes grew even more terrifying as she continued, "Do you think your so-called good sister was kind to you? Do you know that if I hadn't been protecting you in the shadows, you would have likely been killed by her several times already?"

"And your poor Dao Companion, Long Rui, didn't have such good luck. She used you to meet Long Rui. That child Long Rui was naturally simple and kind; who would have thought he would be tricked into trusting that Human Race member so quickly and meet such a tragic end!"

"Mother..."

Little Dragon Girl's breathing gradually became rapid, and her beautiful eyes turned blood-red. Under the Black Dragon King's terrifying suggestions, she naturally followed the other's line of thought.

A bone-chilling killing intent erupted, followed by a miserable, loud laugh.

"I am truly so stupid, truly so stupid! I was deceived by her for so long, despite my absolute sincerity toward her!"

Seeing the girl's reaction, the Black Dragon King's whiskers twitched with satisfaction. She said coldly, "My foolish daughter, I told you long ago that the Human Race are the most cunning and treacherous creatures in the world. Their inferiority, insidiousness, and malice are engraved in their Bloodline and marrow; they are only fit to be food for our Dragon Clan!"

"I truly never expected that woman could be so cunning. After so many years of friendship, she was actually wearing a cloak of hypocrisy and deception the whole time!"

"It's all my fault. If not for me, Long Rui would never have met that woman, and he wouldn't have fallen today!"

Little Dragon Girl clenched her fists and sobbed quietly.

She felt ridiculous for having valued their sisterly bond so much before.

No wonder Su Quan had always hidden his background; no wonder Su Quan always wanted to spar and fight with her; no wonder Su Quan was never willing to be honest with her; no wonder Su Quan killed Long Rui despite her... Scene after scene from the past, under the Black Dragon King's Gu, developed in the darkest possible direction.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Little Dragon Girl burst into a fit of manic laughter, her pink hair dancing wildly as tears burst from the corners of her eyes.

She laughed at her own shortsightedness, her own stupidity.

Perhaps in Su Quan's eyes, she had been a complete joke all along?

"Xiao Qi!"

At this point, the Black Dragon King's tone softened. She said heavily, "You must remember, the reason you didn't die during your interactions with that Human Race woman is actually because Long Rui blocked the disaster for you. I hope this lesson Long Rui taught with his life will allow you to learn and gain some insight!"

"Remember one thing: the majesty of our Dragon Clan must never be desecrated by the Human Race!"

This final sentence completely ignited Little Dragon Girl's fury, and her last shred of reason was submerged.

Her eyes were blood-red as she let out a hysterical roar.

"Su Quan, I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you! I will..."

A mournful Dragon roar soared upward, echoing through the ten-thousand-foot deep sea, stirring up monstrous waves on the ocean's surface that crashed violently against the cliffs.

Water splashed and dispersed into the wind fire wheels, turning into wisps of water vapor.

The youth dressed in a red robe stood frozen in place, one hand clutching the qiankun circle and the other holding a Purple Lightning Spear.

Before him was Su Jing's tall figure. Her face was as dark as ink, like a volcano on the verge of erupting...
