"I said, how long are you going to hug the master?"
In the beast mirror, Heipi was sitting on the ground, holding his chin with his hand, looking with disgust at Xiaoju who was holding Ye Guilan and not letting go.
"You cry if the master doesn't show up. If the master comes, you still cry." Heipi sighed, holding his forehead with his hand, "How can I stop you from crying?"
"You have to take care of me when I cry..." Xiaoju's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't help hugging Ye Guilan tighter, "Miss, Heipi always bullies me."
"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't bully you!"
Heipi stood up excitedly when he heard this. Xiaoju looked back at it with tears in his eyes. Heipi's voice got stuck inexplicably. In the end, Heipi messed up his hair with his hands in annoyance and stopped protesting.
Ye Guilan smiled and hugged the little maid tightly, gently wiped the tears from her eyes, and gently pinched her little face.
"Heipi is right, you can't cry all the time."
"Then I won't cry anymore. Miss, don't hate me." Thinking that Ye Guilan would hate herself for crying, Xiao Ju's tears seemed to well up again.
Ye Guilan laughed. If she hadn't known that Xiaoju was a magical dragon, she would have thought it was an aquatic creature with a high water content.
"Master, is your current strength... at the phantom level?"
Perhaps in order to divert Xiaoju's attention, Heipi quickly asked about Ye Guilan's situation.
Ye Guilan looked at it with a smile and nodded slightly.
"The Phantom is at level 7 and should be reaching level 8 soon."
Heipi couldn't swallow his mouthful of saliva and coughed out in a very embarrassed manner, "Phantom, Phantom, level seven, level seven——!"
"Phantom level seven, Miss is so amazing!"
Xiao Ju stopped crying instantly and looked at Ye Guilan with eyes full of joy, "The young lady in the past was very powerful, and the young lady now is just as powerful!"
Ye Guilan's dark eyes lit up. It seemed that my mother's original strength was above the seventh level of Phantom!
Yes, if you don't have some hard power, how could your mother's spiritual energy be in your own spiritual seed and be so well preserved?
"Is my mother that powerful?"
Ye Guilan looked at Xiao Ju, who smiled and nodded, "Miss is very powerful in the later stage, and her strength improves very quickly."
Late stage?
Ye Guilan's brows moved slightly, does it mean... after my mother activated her bloodline ability?
"The young lady herself said that she almost doesn't feel like herself anymore." Xiao Ju looked at Ye Guilan, and the human pupils suddenly turned into a vertical line like a beast.
"It's just that soon, the lady...is gone."
"Destroyed dragon!"
Heipi suddenly roared and turned into a black panther, blocking Ye Guilan.
"What's going on?"
Ye Guilan looked at the black skin and Xiaoju whose pupils changed instantly. It looked like... the weird room in the underwater ruins.
Xiaoju's beast pupils shrank hard, and when she slowly opened them again, the dragon scales on her neck sprouted from her body like grass.
The little maid knelt on the ground in pain, hugging her body tightly with trembling hands.
Ye Guilan's eyes widened, this scene was exactly the same as that time, suddenly transformed into a dragon?!
"Decommissioned Dragon! You can do it! Believe in yourself!"
Heipi blocked Ye Guilan and began to retreat. As he retreated, he yelled, "Didn't you carry it last time? You can do it this time too!"
The little maid's body was bent into a ball in pain, and her palms had turned into dragons.
A large number of dragon scales poured out from under Xiaoju's neck and began to climb up its face.
"Master, I will turn into a bird and take you...Master!"
Heipi only felt that his back was empty. Ye Guilan jumped out from behind him, rushed to Xiaoju, and held her in his arms.
Heipi stared at Ye Guilan, watching her hold it in her arms without hesitation, just like last time.
"Xiaoju, don't be afraid that I'm coming."
Ye Guilan murmured, looking at the neck of the little maid in his arms that was completely covered by dragon scales, and it was trembling violently in his arms.
Unlike last time, Xiaoju instantly transformed into a dragon without any resistance. Xiaoju curled up in pain, as if she was resisting some force.
Poof!
As he resisted turning into a dragon, a wound suddenly opened under the dragon scales, and blood gushed out from under the scales.
This is?!
Ye Guilan looked at the blood flowing out. The little maid in his arms gasped and huddled in her arms and continued to tremble. As its resistance time lengthened, the wounds under the dragon scales increased one after another.
"ah--!"
The little maid let out painful sobs, and Ye Guilan couldn't help but hug her tighter.
Just as he was about to pass on his spiritual energy, Heipi heard an urgent growl, "No, Master! If it comes into contact with other spiritual energy in this state, it will instantly turn into a dragon!"
Ye Guilan quickly took back his spiritual energy, and Xiaoju's dragon claw was directly inserted into his body.
In pain, she unconsciously used her sharp claws to peel off a scale.
Ye Guilan felt very distressed, which was why there were traces of peeling scales on its body.
"Woooooooo... don't say it, don't say it anymore." Xiaoju murmured and cried unconsciously, and Ye Guilan felt its body trembling violently. The little maid told her about the strange murmurs she heard before she transformed into a dragon.
It turned out that these murmurs had been following Xiaoju and had nothing to do with the underwater ruins.
Ye Guilan's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he thought of something, he gently pushed the little maid away from his arms.
His eyes fell on her neck.
There, it was completely covered by the dragon's scales, and there seemed to be wounds constantly appearing underneath, with blood gushing out from under the scales.
The blood dyed the dragon's scales completely red, and the wounds under the scales clearly showed their shape because of the blood.
It was a circle, stuck on Xiaoju's neck.
This shape is like a blood-colored collar.
Collar...collar!
Ye Guilan couldn't help but hold Xiaoju's shoulders tightly, her eyes flickered a few times, and she couldn't look away from her neck again.
"Master, it seems that the waste dragon has been carried through!"
Hei Pi opened his mouth and paid close attention to Xiao Ju's condition, fearing that it would suddenly transform into a dragon and hurt Ye Guilan. After finding out that it had survived, he immediately shouted in surprise.
Xiaoju's violent trembling has eased a lot, her hands have returned to their human appearance, and the dragon scales covering her body have slowly faded away.
There are only wounds carved under the scales one after another, and the bloody skin where the scales were peeled off.
"Miss..." Xiaoju raised her head and looked at Ye Guilan with tears in her eyes. Tears instantly fell from her eyes.
Ye Guilan watched it turn back into a human's black eyes, with gentle eyes, "Well done, you didn't give in."
"Woooooooo..." Xiaoju cried and threw herself into Ye Guilan's arms again, "That voice is always ringing in my ears. I'm afraid, I'm so scared..."
Ye Guilan's breath tightened, "Xiaoju, let me ask you, can you hear clearly what that voice said now?"
Xiaoju hugged Ye Guilan tightly, crying and nodding in her arms.
"Kill her, kill her..."
Xiaoju choked and spoke, tears streaming down her face again, "I don't want to kill Miss, I don't want to kill Miss..."
Heipi was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Wailong, what on earth are you talking about? Who asked you to kill your master?"
Ye Guilan only felt that she was in an ice cave now.
