The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 448 Dragon Knight

After Qianlun answered, seeing that the Dragon Girl had no response, he took his laser tag and bid her farewell.

Wanlong Nest is a vast labyrinth of ancient caves connected like a honeycomb.

Qianlun, carrying Laser, stepped into another ancient cave, preparing to leave Wanlong Nest by another route.

Before they left, Qianlun gave Lu Zhou, who was standing beside the Dragon Girl with a faint smile, a deep look in his eyes.

His face twitched, and finally, a sigh and a sense of helplessness rose up in his heart.

He nodded to Lu Zhou from afar, feeling a little embarrassed.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed LaserTales, turned around, and left.

Looking at Qianlun's posture, Lu Zhou's lips curled up slightly, and the Dragon Girl's eyes, which were as pure as glass, also flickered.

"He has already bowed down to you, trying to show you goodwill, but he's still a little too proud; after all, he's a senior figure."

"Actually, from Wanlongchao's perspective, Qianlun is not bad, it's just that his grandson, Laser, is utterly useless."

The dragon girl's voice reached Lu Zhou's ears, and Lu Zhou responded.

"I saw!"

"You can tell him that I don't care about the past!"

As for Qianlun, he was indeed no longer a concern for Lu Zhou.

Not to mention, as the saying goes, even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha.

Judging from the Dragon Girl's words and actions, it is clear that she has made a decision to become his Daoist partner.

As for Qianlun, no matter what, he is ultimately a member of the Dragon Maiden's clan and made great contributions to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest in ancient times.

In the future, as long as Qianlun or Lei Zhan don't provoke him, Lu Zhou's gaze will not be fixed on them.

And clearly, do Qianlun and Lei Zhan still dare to provoke Lu Zhou now?
That's something we simply wouldn't dare to do.

After all, Lu Zhou has already stolen their home, and even their ancient emperor's daughter has been abducted by Lu Zhou.

They have not only lost their greatest support in this life.

They had already noticed that the Dragon Girl's attitude towards them clearly conveyed a sense of control.

Wanlong Nest is not entirely composed of ancient caves.

Whether it's the description in the book or the scene Lu Zhou saw when he first entered the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest instance, it's clearly just the tip of the iceberg of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest lies a world unto itself, with majestic mountain ranges that resemble coiled dragons, cascading waterfalls and flowing rivers, the fragrance of orchids and rare herbs, and ancient trees that have stood tall for countless millennia.
The Dragon Girl personally led Lu Zhou around the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Nest without any suspicion of him.

During this time, Lu Zhou saw the true dragon's nest located at the very core of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest.

They also saw the coffins where the Empress was buried in the Dragon Nest.

All the cultivators of the Myriad Dragon Nest, including the Dragon Girl, were extremely wary of these coffins.

While they were wary, they were also undoubtedly very unhappy.

This is only natural. After all, no matter who it is, it would be unpleasant and bothersome if outsiders kept dumping several coffins into their home!
Finally, Lu Zhou followed the Dragon Girl to a stone palace. The palace was not large and had not much decoration; everything was very simple and elegant.

But you can tell that this is the Dragon Girl's boudoir.

At this moment, the Dragon Girl's feelings are completely self-evident.

Given her status and her aloof nature, if one day she suddenly agreed to show a man around her home and then take him into her boudoir, it would be quite a surprise.

That says it all.

The Dragon Girl is clearly a very serious person.

She seemed to feel that all of this was not enough to clearly express her meaning to Lu Zhou.

Therefore, when she led Lu Zhou into her boudoir, she personally poured him a cup of tea.

She then sat down opposite Lu Zhou, and finally stared straight at him without blinking.

With a serious expression on his face, he spoke to Lu Zhou.

"I've thought about it!"

"I'm willing to follow you forever!"

I still remember the gathering of all races at Yaochi many years ago.

The Dragon Girl and Lu Zhou once had a deep conversation.

At that time, they talked about many great secrets concerning the design of the ancient emperor, the supreme being, and the entire world.

They mentioned the Myriad Dragon Emperor, who founded the Myriad Dragon Nest lineage, the Dark Turmoil, the Path to Immortality, and also discussed the True Dragon Pearl and the True Dragon's Legacy.

At that time, Lu Zhou told the Dragon Girl that he also needed to use the True Dragon Pearl, and that the Dragon Girl also wanted to use the True Dragon Pearl to cultivate and undergo transformation.

For a long time to come, the Dragon Girl will need to stay by his side and remain in his Wuji Dojo.

The implications of this are self-evident.

At the time, the Dragon Girl frankly stated that she was also an ordinary person and could be tempted by the True Dragon Pearl and the True Dragon's Legacy.

Even so, the Dragon Girl did not make any decision immediately.

That day, she received too much information and was deeply moved.

She said she wanted to calm down and think things through before making a decision.

And this composure she maintained has lasted for ten years.

Across a stone table, Lu Zhou and the Dragon Girl looked at each other, and he could sense that the Dragon Girl still had something to say.

He was eager to hear what the Dragon Girl would have to say.

Soon, he saw the Dragon Girl seem to take a deep breath, and then, as her red lips parted, Lu Zhou heard the Dragon Girl continue speaking to him.

“I am willing to follow you, not just because I want to visit your Wuji Dojo and obtain the True Dragon’s inheritance.”

"Also because I don't dislike you!"

"Not only do I not dislike you, I've also realized that I might have fallen for you!"

"In the years since you completely disappeared from my sight, I have thought of you 1,521 times."

"When I ask myself what's wrong with me, I feel lost and can't find the answer, but in an instant, a series of questions that I used to ask myself often, as well as questions that I've never thought about before, immediately pop into my mind."

"What have I lived for? For the Dragon Nest? Or simply to prove my path?"

Will I need a Daoist partner in my life?

As she was speaking, the Dragon Girl suddenly paused, looked at Lu Zhou, and continued after a moment.

"When I asked myself this question, your image appeared in my mind."

"A voice inside me seems to be telling me that if I ever need a Daoist partner in the future, then you might be a good choice."

"When I heard that Kunzhou and the others intended to attack the Demon Court, my first thought was of you, and then I immediately informed the Demon Court of this matter!"

"When Yan Ruyu asked me why I did this, my first reaction was to run away from her!"

"When I heard that you had appeared in the Demon Court a few months ago, my first thought was to see you immediately."

"When I heard the deity of the Myriad Dragons Bell say that you had appeared outside the Myriad Dragons Nest not long ago, my first reaction was to look in the mirror and tidy myself up, and then I couldn't wait to rush out of the Myriad Dragons Nest to see you."

"When I first saw you, I found myself unable to look you in the eye for the first time, and my heart suddenly started racing and racing." "I think, I don't know when it started, but I must have fallen for you, you think?"

The Dragon Girl's eyes were clear, like those of a girl in a comic book, sparkling under the light and reflecting Lu Zhou's figure.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Lu Zhou listened quietly to her story.

Throughout the entire process, the Dragon Girl remained calm, as if she were recounting to an old friend a series of unrelated events.

The Dragon Girl is still the same Dragon Girl.

She never hid her, never concealed her.

That's how it is, at least in front of Lu Zhou.

Whether it was the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Races in Yaochi ten years ago, or now, she has never denied her desire to obtain the True Dragon Inheritance after learning that Lu Zhou possessed it.

The only difference is that ten years ago, she simply didn't dislike Lu Zhou, but she didn't have any other feelings like liking him.

Ten years later, for some unknown reason—perhaps because she missed Lu Zhou too much, or perhaps because of the contrast with others, and through her occasional self-management—she unknowingly fell for Lu Zhou as well.

Lu Zhou got up, walked around the table, and came to the Dragon Girl's side, where he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

He reached out and took the dragon girl's hand. The dragon girl did not refuse, nor did she instinctively try to dodge.

Meeting Lu Zhou's gaze, a faint blush crept onto the Dragon Girl's exquisitely fair face.

She lowered her head, once again unable to meet Lu Zhou's gaze, and her heart pounded wildly.

In the silent stone hall, the pounding heartbeat was clearly audible to Lu Zhou.

Feeling a little flustered, the dragon girl subconsciously reached out to raise her slender, white fingers to smooth the strands of hair beside her ear.

But there was a hand that was even faster than her.

As soon as she raised her hand, it fell into a warm, large hand.

Lu Zhou held both her hands, and a gentle force caused her to sway slightly, making her long black hair flutter.

When the dragon girl came to her senses, she was already sitting on Lu Zhou's lap, being held tightly in his arms.

A strong masculine scent reached her nose, and this unprecedented experience made her feel dizzy.

This caused an even deeper blush to creep onto her neck, cheeks, and delicate pink earlobes.

It was precisely that delicate shyness that surpassed all others.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Dragon Girl's heartbeat that was out of rhythm.

Her breathing also began to become erratic.

Two tiny, translucent dragon horns, resembling jelly, suddenly appeared on the dragon girl's forehead.

As if the crimson hue was contagious, it began to spread across the small, translucent dragon horns, along with the dragon girl's rapid breathing and erratic heartbeat.

In her dazed state, Lu Zhou's voice reached the Dragon Girl's ears.

No. The Dragon Girl felt Lu Zhou whispering in her ear; she felt Lu Zhou's lips touching her earlobe.

"A person's first instinct doesn't lie."

"Your lack of physical reaction in rejecting my physical contact doesn't lie!"

"So you're right, you've fallen for me, you like me just as much as I like you."

These words, when they reached the Dragon Girl's ears, felt like demonic whispers, or like the whispers of a god.

Gradually, the lights flickered, and the Dragon Girl's eyes became hazy. She no longer had the energy to care whether it was a demonic sound or the whispers of the gods.

Feeling dizzy, she could no longer hear what Lu Zhou said next.

She felt as if, the moment Lu Zhou embraced her, this dignified Dao Slayer had been suddenly poisoned by some rare and powerful poison. All the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away in an instant, leaving her with no strength at all.

She didn't know that she was poisoned by love.

Just as of the eighty thousand words in the world, only the word "love" is the most deadly.

In the dim light, two shadows, completely merged, were cast on the walls of the stone hall.

Melodious and graceful music could be heard rising and falling in this stone hall, which was mostly quiet and cold.

It was exhilarating and fiery, dispelling the silence and coldness of the stone palace, and melting the Dragon Girl's heart, which had always seemed rather lonely and aloof.

That night, Lu Zhou fulfilled his long-held dream of becoming a dragon knight.

But throughout the entire process, the words "dragon knight" never even crossed his mind.

All he felt was pity and affection for the girl in front of him.

That night, the Dragon Girl truly smiled, and Lu Zhou saw it.

It wasn't the forced smile she used to have; it was a genuine smile.

She understood; she realized that she could laugh too.

She even has a very nice smile.

Her smile was like a shy flower just beginning to bloom.

A smile seems to illuminate the entire world.

That same night, the Dragon Girl found herself suddenly no longer so lonely.

To outsiders, and even to her own people, she was always the most noble and respected eldest daughter of the ancient emperor.

The reason it survived to this life is to prove the Dao, to restore the glory of the Dragon Emperor's unparalleled supremacy in the universe, to continue the splendor of the Dragon Nest, and to lead the Dragon Nest to even greater heights.

But no one knew that she slept for millions of years, and when she opened her eyes, she was in a different time and space, feeling desolate and lonely without her close relatives and friends.

No one knew that the real her did not want to live only to prove her Dao, nor did she want to be forced to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the glory of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

No one knew what she really wanted, and gradually, even she herself became confused, unsure of what she truly desired.

She always thought that nobody knew these things.

It wasn't until she met Lu Zhou that she noticed the occasional flashes of pity he showed her when he looked at her.

She keenly sensed that there seemed to be someone who was different from everyone else!
The person seemed to understand her loneliness and desolation, knowing that she didn't want to live just to prove herself, and didn't want to be forced to shoulder certain responsibilities.

The man seemed to have noticed her confusion!

Indeed, Lu Zhou had always known about her loneliness and desolation, and he also knew that she did not want to be forced to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the glory of Wanlong Nest.

This can be seen from the fact that, in the original work, the Dragon Girl never really managed the affairs of the Dragon Nest.

That night, the Dragon Girl smiled, brightening the world.

She found someone she could confide in without reservation.

She has found someone she can ramble on and on without any restraint.

She has found someone who understands her, is willing to cherish her, will always be with her, and will not make any demands on her or impose things on her that she does not want.

She suddenly realized that this feeling was really good.

It seems that everything in the future has found its purpose and become more meaningful.
