79: No fight, no friendship

"What kind of technique is this?"

The Little Dragon Girl was startled.

She twisted her dragon body desperately, trying to dodge, but the sky-mixing sash was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around her, its boundless power surging continuously as if to forcibly bind her.

"Break!"

The Little Dragon Girl's eyes widened in fury.

The Origin Qi within her body erupted completely, causing her dragon body to swell. Faced with that terrifying, monstrous strength, the sky-mixing sash showed signs of being forcibly broken out of.

Seeing this, Su Quan took advantage of the Little Dragon Girl's momentary distraction. His movement technique was like a ghost as he leaped onto her neck, his hands firmly grasping that pair of delicate dragon horns.

"Stinky brat, get off This Princess!"

The Little Dragon Girl was both shocked and enraged.

She began to shuttle through the clouds at high speeds, flipping back and forth, trying to shake the youth off.

"Take this!"

Su Quan gripped a dragon horn with one hand and slammed his other fist down hard.

Several pink dragon scales flew off, and blood began to seep out.

“Yin——”

The Little Dragon Girl let out a groan of pain.

She swung her dragon tail around and dove fiercely into the sea, carrying the youth on her back as she plunged toward the depths.

Su Quan also knew that if he fell into the deep sea, he likely wouldn't have a good time.

He used the Little Dragon Girl's horns like a steering wheel, exerting strength like a wild bull as he tried to forcibly control the direction of her swim.

One dragon and one person began a contest of strength in the sea.

Seeing that she couldn't escape to the deep sea for the moment, the Little Dragon Girl steeled her heart. She simply crashed herself and Su Quan together against the rocky seabed.

Boom, boom, boom—

Rocks shattered and dark undercurrents surged.

The Little Dragon Girl endured the sharp pain, crashing again and again in a self-destructive manner. Su Quan, on her back, wasn't faring well either; he refused to let go and was similarly battered until he was dizzy and disoriented.

After tossing around for a while longer...

Both of them were running out of physical strength.

If they continued to fight, it would only result in mutual destruction.

Su Quan's original intention wasn't necessarily to slaughter this Little Female Dragon. Panting heavily, he took the initiative to speak: "That... I can stop riding you, but you can't attack me either. Let's stop fighting today. How about we call it a draw?"

The Little Dragon Girl was just waiting for such a way out. She exhaled a spectacular dragon breath and said, "Fine, but you have to get off This Princess first!"

Seeing the situation...

Su Quan immediately let go, his whole body floating back to a safe position.

The Little Dragon Girl didn't continue her attack. Her dragon body surged with brilliant light, and when the light dissipated, a beautiful young girl clad in light blue gauze appeared before him.

Her skin was as white as snow, her small mouth was pink and tender, and several dragon scales adorned her delicate collarbone. A head of smooth, azure hair fell to her perky buttocks, and two small pink dragon horns grew on her head, making her look quite adorable.

"Human, you are very strong!"

The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, and her blue eyes were full of solemnity: "Previously, no one has ever been able to fight This Princess in the same Realm without falling into a disadvantage. You are the first!"

"You are also very strong!"

Su Quan, who had ulterior motives, didn't mind taking the initiative to show weakness: "If we continued to fight, I'm afraid I would be the one to lose!"

"Not necessarily, This Princess is also exhausted!" The Little Dragon Girl shook her head with a light laugh, suddenly feeling a bit of curiosity and admiration for the "girl" before her: "You humans have a saying, it's called 'from fighting to friendship'!"

"Let us get to know each other. I am the Seventh Princess of the East Sea Dragon Palace, Long Jue!"

Su Quan cupped his hands in a formal greeting: "I am the daugh... daughter of the Su Family of Haiya Prefecture, Su Quan!"

"Su Quan, I've noted it down!"

The Little Dragon Girl nodded slightly, her curious gaze falling on the youth. She also learned to cup her hands and asked, "Is this a etiquette of your Human Race?"

At this moment, the Killing Intent in the air gradually dissipated.

Having fought for a good while, both had recognized each other's strength, and a sense of mutual respect inevitably grew in their hearts. This was the often-mentioned 'from fighting to friendship.'

"Correct, this is precisely the etiquette our Human Race uses to show respect to outsiders!" Su Quan smiled with pursed lips, while his mind was actually racing with thoughts of how to harvest regret value.

"Interesting. This Princess has learned some more knowledge of the Human Race today!" The Little Dragon Girl's azure eyes curved into crescents, and a sincere, joyful smile appeared on her beautiful Face: "To be honest, This Princess is quite interested in your human culture!"

"If the Princess doesn't mind, I can find some time in the future to explain it to you!" Su Quan said.

"If that's possible, that would be wonderful!"

The Little Dragon Girl clapped her tender white hands in excitement, her two small pink dragon horns twitching, having completely forgotten the purpose of this trip.

In truth, the life of a Crab Spirit was an insignificant matter to the high and mighty Dragon Clan.

"Princess, my breath-holding is reaching its limit!"

As Su Quan spoke, bubbles came out of the corners of his mouth. He said, "I have to go back first. We'll meet again if fate allows!"

With that, he kicked off hard with his wind fire wheels, shooting toward the surface like an arrow from a bow.

"Goodbye!"

The Little Dragon Girl raised her slender, snow-white neck and repeated the phrase she had just learned.

She watched the youth disappear onto the sea surface before withdrawing her gaze and swimming toward the deep-sea Dragon Palace... "Little Jue!"

The Old Dragon King's aged voice echoed from within the palace: "That human Cultivator's head, have you brought it back?"

The Little Dragon Girl was walking somewhat distractedly and was startled by the sudden voice. Seeing it was her Mother Empress, she immediately stepped forward and said, "No, that human Cultivator had some tricks, and your daughter could do nothing against her!"

"Was that human not a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?"

"She was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!"

"Among those in the Golden Core Stage, there is someone you cannot handle?" The Old Dragon King said with some shock: "Little Jue, you are the most talented East Sea Dragon in the history of the Mountain Sea Realm. Your Bloodline purity is comparable to an Imperial Daughter. How could those weak humans be worthy of being your opponent?!"

"Could it be that you, Little Jue, were soft-hearted and spared that human's life again?" the Old Dragon King asked suspiciously.

This daughter of hers was excellent in every way—talent, appearance, Heart-Nature, and will were all top-tier. But there was one thing she was very dissatisfied with: she was too kind and lacked the ruthlessness a strong person should have.

Previously, there had been an incident where Long Jue had casually let a human fisherwoman go.

"How would your daughter dare to deceive Mother?"

The Little Dragon Girl gave a helpless, bitter smile. She did indeed have the intention of letting Su Quan go at first, but by the end of the fight, the other person had left by their own strength: "That human girl is exceptionally talented, possesses monstrous strength, and has several Magical Artifacts with her!"

"Your daughter only fought her to a draw!"

"If that's the case, hasn't the Human Race produced another extraordinary Heavenly Prodigy?!" The Old Dragon King's tone became serious: "This is not good news for our Dragon Clan!"

"The Ascension Assembly is approaching. The Human Race must not be allowed to steal the spotlight in the Mountain Sea Realm!"

"It would be best to strangle this girl in the cradle as soon as possible!" The Old Dragon King's Face turned fierce, her Killing Intent savage: "Little Jue, do you have any way to lure this girl into the sea?"

Hearing this, the Little Dragon Girl was startled.

She was a hundred percent unwilling to see her newly met human friend meet with misfortune. Thus, weighing her words, she said, "Mother, although that person has some talent, your daughter is not weak either. I am confident I can defeat her fairly and squarely at the Ascension Assembly!"

"Ignorant!"

The Old Dragon King was furious: "That human Cultivator killed a Crab Spirit of our Sea Race; she deserves to die!"

"But, but what does the death of a Crab Spirit have to do with our Dragon Clan?" The Little Dragon Girl bit her cherry lips and looked up to ask.

In her eyes, the Human Race had always been respectful toward the Dragon Clan, even worshiping them as faith totems in some places. she really didn't understand why her mother had such a great prejudice against the Human Race.

"The Crab Spirit lived in this sea area with our Dragon Clan. As the overlords of the sea, if the Human Race dares to kill the Sea Race, they are not giving our Dragon Clan Face!" The Old Dragon King's tone was overbearing.

"But, but those humans and our Dragon Clan also live together in the Mountain Sea Realm. Why can't we live in harmony with each other like we do with the Sea Race?" the Little Dragon Girl asked in return.

"You..."

The Old Dragon King was momentarily speechless.

After a long while, the sound of a table being slammed in anger echoed in the palace: "Fool! It's natural selection, survival of the fittest. There aren't that many reasons!"

"Get out now, This King does not want to see you!"

"Then your daughter shall take her leave!"

The Little Dragon Girl breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't take her mother's words to heart at all, instead heading toward her own sleeping quarters...
