Become a fairy alone

In the boundless Gobi Desert, yellow sand swirls and rolls.

If viewed from the void, it resembles a yellow veil covering thousands of miles, gently swaying in the wind on the ground.

Under the blazing sun, the intense sunlight cast a fiery, hazy glow over the dusty Gobi Desert.

Caw! A dozen or so red-billed sand storks soared into the sky from below, piercing directly into the hazy clouds. They moved with lightning speed, yet with a hint of disarray, as if something terrifying was approaching from below.

Before long, a sandstorm swept across the ground, as if an unseen giant hand was churning the dust wildly within it.

The surging sand curtain seemed to cover the sky and the sun for a moment, and a rock toad beast, more than a hundred feet long, with four legs and covered in earth-yellow crystal armor, emerged from the ground.

This rock toad beast's aura has reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. As long as it doesn't stray too far from its territory, it is a local tyrant in this area.

Demons like the Red-billed Sand Stork would have to retreat and avoid him at all costs.

The Rock Toad Beast has an extremely strong appetite and a ferocious nature. It can almost make demons who are not as strong as it tremble with fear.

At this moment, the rock toad beast was as frightened as a stray dog. It fled northwest in terror, as if it had encountered some terrible enemy.

The dozen or so red-billed sand storks thought they were doomed this time. With their strength at the Xuanxian or Tianxian level, as long as the rock toad beast didn't encounter any more valuable prey and spared some of its energy for them, devouring them would be a matter of moments.

To their surprise, when they came to their senses, the terrifying rock toad looked even more disheveled than they did.

The red-billed sand stork trembled involuntarily; this could only mean that a demon even more terrifying than the rock toad had appeared.

"Damn it, it seems our prey has been targeted by something else powerful."

Several blurry figures were hidden inside a stone wall deep in the sandstorm.

"What should we do? The rock crystal beads inside its body are something we must obtain. Without them, we cannot cross the Pingyang Desert."

"Recently, those people from the Dragon Realm have become increasingly aggressive in their purges of us remnants of the Immortal Army. If we can't leave the Pingyang Desert and enter that chaotic space before they find us, we'll be discovered by the Dragon Realm's search team sooner or later." Another, slightly shorter figure said anxiously.

"There's nothing we can do about someone getting there first. If they can make the Rock Toad Beast so afraid, even if we join forces, we might not be able to defeat them. Let's wait and see. If we miss this opportunity, then it's fate." The woman in purple with deep eyes said.

“These people from the Dragon Domain really don’t leave us a single way out. If all else fails, we’ll just have to fight them to the death. I’m tired of living in fear and hiding like a rat in the shadows all these years,” the burly man on the right said in a deep voice.

As they were talking, their expressions suddenly turned to utter surprise.

From the swirling yellow sand, a child with delicate features, about four or five years old, emerged with light, agile steps. The child's eyes still held a naive, innocent look.

"How is this possible?" The people hidden in the stone wall stared at this scene in disbelief.

They had seen some old monsters that retained the appearance of children, but the one in front of them was clearly a little kid who knew nothing, yet it made the stone toad beast flee in panic.

Logically speaking, such a child should be completely unable to comprehend the profound and mysterious laws and principles.

What they could confirm was that the child had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, but the faint fluctuations in the aura emanating from him made them all tremble with fear.

“The opponent is a dragon, and his strength should come from his bloodline talent. It’s impossible for someone his age to have cultivated to such a high level on his own,” the woman in purple said.

"How powerful must his father's or mother's bloodline be to give birth to such an offspring? Even the descendants of the Dragon King wouldn't be this powerful, would they?"

"Isn't it possible?"

Although their strength wasn't top-tier, they were still considered high-ranking members of the Celestial Army, possessing broad knowledge and the ability to deduce a lot of useful information from subtle clues.

As the group discussed the matter, they gradually pieced together a startling truth.

"A descendant of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon!" The eyes of the group were filled with shock.

Previously, they had fought alongside the celestial army against the Dragon Realm, knowing only that the Dragon Lord was incredibly powerful. They never imagined that the Dragon Lord would have descendants, and that their bloodline talents were astonishingly extraordinary—a fact unknown to the entire celestial realm.

"If we can return alive and bring this news back to the Immortal Realm, I wonder what a sensation it will cause. The Heavenly Court will surely reward us with extraordinary honors," the thin man in the middle said with a greedy look on his face.

"Since he might be a descendant of the Heavenly Dragons and is inexperienced in the ways of the world, even if he is strong, there are limits to his abilities. Don't you think this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us?"

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you." The others looked at him with idiotic eyes.

"Silence immediately, and do not even communicate with your mind." The purple-clad woman at the head of the group had an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

Even a descendant of a dragon king could have such a powerful bloodline talent.

Given that the opponent's mental capacity is not yet high, even if their strength is decent, it is impossible to allow them to appear alone in the depths of the Pingyang Desert.

It's to be expected that a powerful figure would be secretly accompanying the child, let alone the fact that the other party might be a descendant of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. If it's the latter, the person secretly protecting the child could probably wipe them all out with a single breath.

The rock toad beast in sight did not escape far. A handsome boy who looked no more than four or five years old took out a dark brown rattle drum.

With a gentle shake, a series of thumping sounds rang out. Then, the laws governing this world were completely stirred up, forming a huge vortex.

Centered on the boy, a tremendous centripetal force was pulling the terrified rock toad back.

The Rock Toad struggled desperately but to no avail. With a roar, it could only watch its body being dragged little by little back into the depths of the vortex.

"Roar!" Seeing that it could not escape, the Rock Toad Beast roared and launched a hysterical counterattack.

Instantly, countless meteorites of all sizes formed in the void, raining down on the other side.

The boy was not surprised at all; instead, he laughed happily and shook the rattle drum in his hand even faster.

With a series of booming sounds, sound waves spread outwards. The meteorites touched by the sound waves trembled violently, then exploded one after another like fireworks. The Rock Toad Beast summoned seven more demonic swords, but before they could unleash their full power, the sound waves, with incredible penetrating force, had already seeped into them.

The demon sword suddenly swayed in the air as if it were drunk, unable to be used to kill enemies, let alone travel normally through the void.

The next few Earth Toad Demon Pearls sent out also encountered the same situation very quickly.

Caught between a rock toad and a toad, the various treasures it usually consecrated were completely useless. It couldn't simply surrender, and forced into a corner, it turned and pounced on the boy.

The boy appeared handsome with clear features and innocent, pure eyes. He seemed like just a mischievous child. But to the Rock Toad Beast, he was nothing short of a little devil.

It was also somewhat on the verge of tears, wondering why it was so unlucky that the other party had specifically targeted it.

At first, it was able to escape from its opponent, but as it became more familiar with the rattle drum in its hand and gained more control over the power of the earth, even escaping became a luxury.

Before this boy arrived, he was considered the local tyrant.

As long as it avoids provoking those demons and monsters at the Nascent Soul stage outside its territory, and carefully avoids the search teams composed of several races from the Dragon Realm, it's basically the one bullying others in this area; it's never been oppressed to this extent before.
Enraged, the rock toad lunged at its opponent with its sharp claws. However, it quickly discovered that its body, like the demonic sword and the Earth Toad Demon Orb it had previously possessed, had lost its usual speed and power.

The power of the earth merged into the swirling sand and dust, like countless threads that wrapped around its limbs, creating immense resistance to any movement it attempted. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.

The boy giggled and swayed as he climbed onto its neck.

The rock toad felt greatly insulted and tried desperately to attack the boy. After realizing that this idea was unrealistic, it shook and rolled its body, trying to shake the boy off its neck.

No matter what it does, the other person can ride on it steadily.

Amidst the booming of the rattles, the Rock Toad Beast felt dizzy, and the earth power acting on it grew stronger, making its limbs feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Finally, the Rock Toad let out a mournful howl, and its enormous body, over a hundred feet long, collapsed to the ground, appearing utterly submissive.

Having grown and cultivated to such strength, it would never willingly submit to anyone and lose its freedom. However, the strength of this boy in front of it is simply unreasonable.

"Giddy up! You big dummy, carry me back." The boy sat back on the rock toad's neck, giggling, treating the rock toad as his mount.

The Rock Toad Beast was quite helpless, as it was no match for its opponent. It could only submit to the tyranny of this little devil and gallop away in the direction the opponent pointed.

Guagua...

A black fire crow flew by, and the rock toad beast froze, feeling a terrifying aura descend upon it, a suppression that came entirely from a realm above.

Although this little demon king's realm is similar to his, his strength is terrifying. Facing the mysterious fire crow, whose realm is one level higher, the chances of him escaping underground by using the power of the earth are not low.

But the Rock Toad Beast had no confidence whatsoever and could only hope that the little devil would take it with him when he escaped.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the mysterious fire crow suddenly folded its wings and landed on the little demon king's head, pecking at his hair and turning his head into a little bird's nest in the blink of an eye.

Before he could react, a rift tore open in the void, and a small white dog carrying a Nirvana Ant landed on the back of the Rock Toad Beast.

Seeing the little beasts acting so affectionately towards the boy, the Rock Toad Beast felt a chill run down its spine; any one of them could easily crush it.

Fortunately, it couldn't defeat the little demon king; losing only meant being used as a mount. If it had accidentally won, that would have been a true death sentence.

By the time the Rock Toad Beast arrived near the other party's cave, carrying the little devil, it was trembling with fear, barely daring to breathe. It sensed the presence of more than one Dragon Lord in the vicinity. Even though the Dragon Lord was restraining himself, the pressure was still suffocating it.

"Uncle Jin, Grandpa Xiang!" The little demon king on the back of the rock toad greeted the two middle-aged men opposite him who had a pair of dragon horns on their foreheads and dragon patterns on their faces.

"Xiao Yuan, you've caught another mount! Your cave is almost overflowing. Be careful, or your mother will spank you." Xiang Kuang laughed heartily.

"No, Aunt Yan, Aunt Qingcheng, and Aunt Ping will protect me." Little Lu Yuan raised his chin.

"Young Master!" Jin Tong responded with a smile. Luo Qing and Xiang Qingcheng had told the Dragon Lords more than once that they could simply address him as Xiao Yuan.

Wen Yan and Wen Tingdao had long been on equal footing with Lu Xiaotian, and they had also known Xiang Qingcheng and the others for a long time. They were all very familiar with each other, so they readily agreed to their suggestions.

However, Jin Tong, Gu Han, Yue Jifeng, and Ying Xuanming, who advanced later, insisted on their own opinions and continued to address Lu Yuan as Young Master.

Even in Jin Tong's eyes, Lu Yuan could only be considered the future Dragon Lord if the Dragon Lord returned.

However, the Dragon Lord had long ago designated Wen Yan to lead the Dragon Clan, so Jin Tong naturally did not object to the Dragon Lord's order. This was also why he respected the Dragon Lord even more. He did not make any other arrangements just because he had offspring, and still handed the Dragon Clan over to Wen Yan.

From the current perspective, Wen Yan is indeed a very qualified new clan leader. However, his recognition of Wen Yan's position as clan leader does not affect his decision to regard Lu Yuan as the young master.

Considering the sacrifices and contributions made by the Dragon Lord for all the races of the Dragon Realm, Jin Tong felt that she could and should give everything for Lu Yuan.

Wen Yan has gained the approval of the Dragon Clan and is the undisputed new clan leader. However, Lu Yuan is the hope that all the other clans in the Dragon Realm place their hopes on.

People including Yan Ji, the Moon Sky Palace Master, Ji Ting, and the four Law Origin experts who broke through later, or other Thunder Roc Palace Masters, Lan Yun Bamboo Monk, etc., did not have a high level of recognition for the Dragon Clan.

They fight for the Dragon Realm because of the Dragon Lord's personal charisma; the dragon race is not something they must support.

"Mother, Aunt Mu." Lu Yuan greeted Luo Qing and Mu Xia happily when he saw them at the entrance of the cave.

"How come you caught another mount? That makes nearly a hundred now," Luo Qing said, patting his forehead with a headache.

"It's a good thing that Yuan'er is a bit active. We can always let him play less when he gets tired of it." Mu Xia couldn't help but laugh and reached out to hug Lu Yuan.

"Aunt Mu, I'm an adult now, not a two or three-year-old child anymore. You can't just carry me around like that anymore." Lu Yuan's serious expression made Mu Xia and Yan Ji, who arrived later, laugh. (End of Chapter)
