Chapter 43 The events that occurred at the Dragon Burial Abyss on that day became a complete mystery
Long Yingxue pushed off with her four claws, her body soaring into the sky like a golden lightning bolt, rising straight up to ninety thousand miles!
Her long, lithe dragon body rolled and darted freely through the sea of clouds, unleashing the full power of the dragon race in all directions.
The moment the demonic beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles sensed this power, they were all so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, trembling in fear.
Having gone through a life-or-death ordeal, she finally fully absorbed the essence of the true dragon, reunited with the true dragon body, and soared through the nine heavens!
Cheng Xiao stood at the bottom of the ravaged cliff, looking up at the colossal dragon that blotted out the sky, and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a real dragon, not a "loach" that can only wriggle its body while lying on the ground.
As the true dragon's intent vanished, the skeleton that had stood for a thousand years shattered and turned into countless white powders.
The moment the skeleton disappeared, the old Dragon King's last memories before his death appeared in Cheng Xiao's soul.
Standing before him was an absolutely stunning woman. Despite her breathtaking beauty, her expression was icy cold, her calm eyes devoid of any emotion. Her face was so pure, yet the red markings on her forehead added a touch of alluring charm.
The woman, dressed in white, stood proudly with a long sword in hand, her powerful aura of extreme malevolence soaring into the sky.
She was so beautiful, yet so terrifying.
This was the old Dragon King's last memory before his death, which was captured by Cheng Xiao's soul before it dissipated.
After seeing the memories, he became even more certain that the person who killed the old Dragon King was Chu Ning.
While Cheng Xiao was pondering, Long Yingxue had already transformed back into human form and landed beside him.
She was still herself, around ten years old, fair-skinned and adorable, with a delicate and pretty face, and two cute transparent dragon horns on her head.
The only change was that the ends of her long, silver-white hair now had a few streaks of gold, making her look even more holy.
"How was it?" Long Yingxue spun around in front of Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao stroked his chin and replied, "I didn't notice any changes. I thought your transformed body would grow bigger after you recovered, but you're still a little girl?"
"I'm only a little over a thousand years old. Isn't it normal for me to look like this? You can't expect a little girl from your human race to become a big sister after she gains some power, can you?" Long Yingxue retorted with a grin.
She's in a good mood right now.
Her strength has now returned to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Although she is still far from her prime, she is already very satisfied.
The biggest gain this time was probably that she was finally able to use the power of the true dragon bloodline again and unleash those powerful dragon techniques.
"Alright." Cheng Xiao nodded, pointing outside the Burial Dragon Abyss, and said, "Let's hurry up and leave. With such a commotion here, they probably think the Old Dragon King has been resurrected. Someone should be coming soon."
Long Yingxue nodded, but then, as if remembering something, she suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
After she finished speaking, she activated her spiritual power, transforming into a gust of wind that blew up all the white powder on the ground.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiao gave a thumbs up: "I think the matter of crushing bones was already bad enough to the old Dragon King, but I didn't expect you to plan to scatter ashes as well. What grudge do you have? Crushing bones and scattering ashes."
Long Yingxue had never heard Cheng Xiao tell a joke before, and although this joke was a bit... it still made her giggle non-stop.
She manipulated the white powder, gathering it together.
He then explained, "What are you thinking? The Old Dragon King is my grandfather. Although we've never met, he's helped me so much. I should at least collect his body and give him a proper burial."
After spending so much time together, Long Yingxue no longer intended to hide her identity.
However, judging from Cheng Xiao's expression, she didn't seem surprised.
He simply replied, "It was me who helped you, not some grandfather. He's been dead for years. But it's only right that you collect his body; you can't really just grind his bones to dust."
Long Yingxue now starts laughing whenever she hears the phrase "crushed to ashes".
She laughed as she stored the ashes in her storage space, then asked curiously, "If I said the Old Dragon King was my grandfather, then I'm a dragon princess, and you don't seem surprised at all?"
Cheng Xiao waved his hand and walked out on his own, saying as he went, "I'm not blind. Seeing your talent, I guessed it."
Actually, it's mentioned in the background story provided by the system.
Long Yingxue felt a little bored for a moment. She thought it was a secret, but it turned out it wasn't a secret at all.
However, she didn't care. She flashed to Cheng Xiao's side, flew up herself, and pulled Cheng Xiao up from the ground at the same time.
"I've already recovered, why am I still relying on walking?"
The next moment, Long Yingxue's enormous dragon body appeared, and Cheng Xiao appeared directly on her dragon head.
A dragon's roar echoed through the sky, and she excitedly shouted, "From now on, we'll fly! We can go anywhere in the world!"
Long Yingxue's figure weaved through the sea of clouds at great speed.
As she flew, she asked, "Where are we going next?"
Cheng Xiao patted the dragon head and calmly said, "Let's fight our way back to the Cheng family."
Long Yingxue was even more excited.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for!"
......
After the man and the dragon left, a huge mystery was left behind in the Burial Dragon Abyss.
Some people say that they could see the huge dragon skeleton in the distance yesterday, but the next day, the skeleton suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving not even a trace on the ground.
Some say that on the day the skeleton disappeared, he heard a dragon's roar coming from the Burial Dragon Abyss, very clearly, without a doubt.
Some even felt a powerful dragon's aura emanating from the Burial Dragon Abyss.
Many people later returned to the Burial Dragon Abyss, hoping to find out what had happened or what treasures they might have found.
But they gained nothing.
Not only were the true dragon's remains gone, but the oppressive aura and sandstorms that lingered all day long also vanished.
If it weren't for the smooth edges of the canyon, it would really look like an ordinary canyon.
Based on various rumors, people have made many speculations.
Some say that the old Dragon King was resurrected and then flew away.
Some say that the old Dragon King was reincarnated and regained his physical body.
Some even say that a cultivator found a secret method and, through the remains of the old Dragon King, abandoned his human form and transformed into a dragon.
But both are just guesses, and they can never get close to the truth.
After the sandstorms and oppressive atmosphere disappeared, the Burial Dragon Abyss gradually became a tourist destination for ordinary people. After all, there is a legendary story here, as well as a mystery that can never be solved.
More importantly, the canyon that was cleaved open by the sword was truly spectacular.
......
"Hakimi, I have a question for you. Answer me truthfully."
Hakimi was still basking in the joy of the female lead's favorability rating reaching 90% when Cheng Xiao's voice startled him.
After all, this was the first time Cheng Xiao had taken the initiative to talk to him.
He had no body and could not tremble, so he silently replied, "Ask away. I will tell you anything I know. It is my duty."
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xiao asked the question that had been on his mind.
"These instances aren't ordinary games; they're based on real events, even events that happened in different timelines, right?"
