Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 294 The Little Dragon Girl Arrives, the King's Aura
At Changle International Airport, a passenger plane slowly lands.

Two unassuming, handsome young men and women, carrying bags, walked down the gangway. Their every move exuded an unusual competence as they blended into the crowd and headed towards the exit.

Airport staff opened the cargo hold and loaded and unloaded checked luggage. A gentle breeze blew by, as if something had lightly passed by, carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Whose baby appliance leaked because it wasn't installed properly?"

He muttered something to himself, entered the cabin and began unloading cargo, completely unaware that an unseen, slender figure behind him paused slightly, turned halfway around, and cast a death stare at him.

Clenching his fist, the figure snorted coldly, ultimately deciding not to hold a grudge and continuing to stride forward.

At the airport entrance, Wan Boqian and Gao Mi hailed a taxi and gave the driver their destination address.

That's right, they were the two members of the hunting team that Cheng Shuangfan was recruiting.

Originally, according to the hunting team's requirements, only Gao Mi barely met the passing grade. However, these two had crossed paths with Lu Mingfei, fought side by side in Wuxia, and Lu Mingfei even saved Gao Mi's life. So, based on the idea that it's easier to build relationships with acquaintances, Cheng Shuangfan brought these two assistant specialists in after learning about it.

Of course, the two weren't entirely useless. Wan Boqian's Word of Power was Bloodline Jigsaw, making her an expert at finding dragons and hybrids.

Gao Mi is intelligent and has proven her practical skills. With proper nurturing, she is sure to achieve great things in the future.

This time, the target was just a weak pureblood dragon, even weaker than the Night Queen Lilith, making it perfect for them to practice on.

"I heard that Ye Sheng and Ya Ji have been found. I wonder if they can come back to continue their previous mission."

The taxi sped along the highway, and Wan Boqian whispered to Gao Mi.

“Difficult. Dating is prohibited in underwater work teams.” Gao Mi shook her head. “We can only change partners.”

"What a pity, they were such a perfect duo."

The driver in the front seat had been holding back the whole way, only seeing the two people in the back huddled together, whispering. Their voices were low and hard to hear clearly, but he vaguely caught the keywords "romance" and "perfect couple." He immediately understood and enthusiastically chimed in:
"Hey buddy, you're back to meet your girlfriend's parents, right? Let me tell you, you can't bring that stuff on your first visit. You should bring cigarettes, alcohol, and tea as gifts. If all else fails, Brain Gold will do."

Gao Mi & Wan Boqian: "..."

The two were silent for a moment. However, they were still purely platonic friends, classmates, and colleagues.

"Sir, I'm in a hurry, please drive faster." The two exchanged a glance, but didn't explain further, only urging the driver to concentrate on driving and stop gossiping.

"Hey, are you still shy about getting on? What's the big deal? I've driven more young couples than you've eaten at any restaurant."

The driver noticed that the two weren't very interested in talking, and with a disappointed pout, he turned his attention back to the road, unable to satisfy his curiosity.

The two agents behind them stopped communicating and silently observed the vehicles that were overtaken and overtaken.

However, no one noticed that on the roof of a van behind them, a wisp of gray, semi-transparent smoke, barely visible to the naked eye, was swirling around.

The slender figure following closely behind Wan Boqian and Gao Mi knew their destination. The reason she didn't take a taxi like the two of them was mainly because she was afraid that if things changed and she couldn't react in time, and secondly because she usually preferred green travel and was responding to the country's call, it was definitely not because she was short of money and couldn't afford expensive fares.

After transferring more than ten times and finally arriving in the city center, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath:
"How come the people at Kassel College have so much funding? Do they get their money from the wind?"

Gao Mi and Wan Boqian were unaware of the whispers behind them. They carried their bags and walked into a photo studio. When they went up to the second floor, they found that there were already five people sitting there. The leader was Cheng Shuangfan, an S-level executive officer.

"Welcome, our hunting team is now fully assembled." Cheng Shuangfan stood up and had the group introduce themselves. Apart from the two recent graduates, the others were all seasoned veterans who had graduated long ago.

"Let's talk about our target this time." Cheng Shuangfan pulled over a whiteboard, used a magnet to attach two almost identical ID photos to it, and pointed to one of the photos—a beautiful woman with raised eyebrows—and said:
"Shao Nanyin, a pure-blooded dragon, has been lurking in the human world for twenty-three years. Her current identity is a nightclub manager. She is cunning, quick-witted, and has outstanding acting skills. She is good at manipulating people's hearts."

As the two least experienced individuals, Gao Mi and Wan Boqian, even though they had memorized the information about the target and related people perfectly, still took notes, afraid of missing any useful information they had overlooked.

Cheng Shuangfan pointed to another photo: "Shao Nanqin, an orphan, a professional accountant. She met Shao Nanyin in an orphanage when she was young. She was bewitched by her and believed that the other was her sister. Over the years, the two have been inseparable."

With Cheng Shuangfan's abilities, capturing Shao Nanyin would not be difficult. As long as they cooperated properly, they could complete the capture without harming any of their own people.

However, the other party was extremely cunning. For twenty years, she had been lurking in the human world, but she had not given up her vigilance against humans, especially hybrids. The team's early reconnaissance work did not go as smoothly as expected. She was far more alert than ordinary dragons, and the slightest movement could attract her attention.

Moreover, Shao Nanyin lives in an upscale residential area and is almost never alone. She is either accompanied by her sister Shao Nanqin or is in a nightclub surrounded by admirers. If we rashly capture her without knowing the extent of her power, it could very likely result in accidental injury or death.

Pureblooded dragons are not like cats and dogs; when faced with violent arrest, their resistance is strong enough to tear an ordinary human to shreds.

“Shao Nanqin has been going on blind dates for the past two years. I have already left a message on a blind date website to attract her attention. I will ask her to meet up tonight if the situation is right.”

Cheng Shuangfan planned to complete the capture in three days, mainly to find out if there were other dragons behind Shao Nanyin. After all, the two of them lived in the city next to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's hometown, and Shao Nanyin appeared before Brother Chu came to China to carry out a secret mission. It was hard to say whether it would involve the events of that year.

"The two of them have a habit of pretending to be each other's 'covering shifts' for each other. In particular, Shao Nanyin will often pretend to be Shao Nanqin to check whether the blind date is sincere in order to help Shao Nanqin screen potential partners."

"Then, Captain, you can find a quiet place to arrange an offline date. We'll set a trap and lure you in," one team member suggested.

Pureblooded dragons aren't super beasts; they have feelings and can feel pain. Torture them, and they'll spill every single word about what sins they committed in their past lives.

"It depends on the situation." Cheng Shuangfan had hunted the dragon girl Lilith and knew how cunning pure-blooded dragons, especially the weaker ones who were not good at fighting, could be. If you were not careful, they would notice you and flee thousands of miles away.

"Let's discuss the task assignments. You two, Lao Zhang and Lao Li, will be in charge..."

On a tree outside the temporary base, a girl in the shadows listened intently to the news brought back by the wind demon. The hunting team's plan could not be said to be foolproof; it was simply a bit too cautious.

Such a huge fuss over a mere last generation of offspring is simply outrageous.

After listening briefly and learning that they would not officially meet until that evening, the girl prepared to leave and revisit the place she had been before.

Let's meet that Lu Mingfei who's changed his appearance and see if he's the one who hid the White King's dragon bones.

Yeah, and there's another idiot who's lost his mind.

Let's see if he gets missing any limbs while he's in Japan joining the fun.

...In a high-end apartment in the city center, a young woman dressed in casual clothes lay on the sofa, her black hair cascading down her back, her face pale and unhealthy.

Her name is Shao Nanqin, and she is an accountant at a subsidiary of Huanya Group.

Today is a workday, and she should be working like a slave at her desk.

Unfortunately, she had her period today, and even getting out of bed caused her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain, so she had to have her sister impersonate her and go to work.

Accounting is a job that demands very high professional competence. Just getting certified and qualified for the job is a challenge for countless people. Her younger sister dropped out of school early to work and support her education, so logically she couldn't possibly impersonate her and be qualified for the accounting job.

But Nan Yin is an incredibly capable girl, smart and competent; there's almost nothing she can't do.

Back then, the two sisters received admission notices from 211 universities at the same time, but because they didn't have the money to pay the tuition, she suggested choosing a teacher training college that didn't require tuition, and then applying for poverty subsidies and work-study programs to get through the four years of university life.

However, her younger sister, Nan Yin, said she had no interest in going to school and planned to work in a nightclub to support her studies. She had already torn up the acceptance letter before her older sister could object.

With a do-or-die attitude, Shao Nanyin brought back 30,000 yuan in cash on her first day working at a nightclub, and no one managed to take advantage of her in the slightest. In just three years, she rose from waitress to manager.

When Shao Nanqin graduated and joined Huanya Group, wanting to work hard and support the family with her sister, the latter took out over a million yuan and bought a house in the city center, saying that this way she wouldn't have to travel too far to work, and the two sisters could still live together forever.

Shao Nanqin was so moved she almost died.

Therefore, one of her requirements for choosing a partner is that he must live with her sister in the future.

However, she has never been successful in blind dates over the years. Although she is beautiful and has a great figure, she is a homebody who likes to read romance novels. Her blind date partners are either indecisive or want to take advantage of her and run away.

But she's not stupid; she also has a clever younger sister who helps her keep an eye on things. Anyone who tries to take advantage of her will be beaten up by Nan Yin's people.

"Sigh, why can't there be men who are good-looking, have good personalities, and whose moral character is above average?"

Shao Nanqin lay on the sofa, one hand holding her phone and chatting with her substitute sister, while the other hand rubbed her slightly sore lower abdomen after taking ibuprofen.

"Yes, some of you sisters do. But those good men are like limited-edition sneakers; they're sold out on the day they're released." The younger sister's reply was very honest. Good men are already reserved; why would they have to resort to dating websites to meet a young, introverted woman like her?

"Ding--"

A computer notification sound suddenly rang out, its crispness echoing in the quiet living room. Shao Nanqin lazily raised her eyes and saw a comment from a user with the ID "Cheng Shuangfan" under her dating post.

Upon seeing the contents, she sat up abruptly, temporarily forgetting the pain in her lower abdomen.

"I noticed your profile picture is Xiao Suqian. You also like 'The Human Weapon Fell in Love with a Monster'? Just between us, do you prefer the male lead x female lead couple or the male lead x second female lead couple?"

This message, like a magnet, firmly attracted Shao Nanqin's attention.

She never imagined that someone could recognize that the person in her profile picture came from a romance novel that wasn't particularly popular but that she especially liked, and even accurately describe the love triangle between the male lead, the female lead, and the second female lead.

This...this is a comrade!

Shao Nanqin instantly felt her weak body filled with strength, and even the pain in her abdomen disappeared without a trace. She got up and replied:
"Of course I ship the male lead and the female lead! They're childhood sweethearts!"

The other party replied quickly: "Then why did you use a picture of the second female lead as your profile picture?"

Shao Nanqin typed a reply with the speed of someone who had been single for 25 years: "Of course, it's our Su Qian who is beautiful, strong, and tragic. She loves so deeply and has sacrificed so much for the male lead. Even though she has amnesia and doesn't remember him, she still steps forward to shield him from bullets. Who could resist loving her?"

"I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old. They ultimately failed to meet at the right time, otherwise the ending might have been different, and she would have had her own happiness." With one sentence, Cheng Shuangfan successfully won over Shao Nanqin's favor.

She sat in front of the computer and eagerly opened Cheng Shuangfan's profile. She found that he was a handsome and tall man who looked only a year or two older than her. His casual photos were sunny, handsome, and sporty, and even his ID photo, which was supposed to show equality among all people, was impeccably handsome.

“Your name sounds so weathered. Is it taken from Du Fu’s line, ‘Hardship and sorrow have turned my temples gray, and in my decline I have stopped drinking wine’?” Shao Nanqin asked, intrigued.

“Yes.” His reply was swift, almost without hesitation: “Your name is also very beautiful. Is it taken from Yuan Zhen’s poem, ‘Playing the Nanlü tune on the zither, the wind and color are already clear’?”

"I don't know either." Shao Nanqin was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage and had no idea where her name came from.

While she was chatting with a handsome online date who was a complete stranger but very much to her liking, Shao Nanyin, who was temporarily filling in at a subsidiary of Huanya Group, waited in vain for her sister's new message and shook her head helplessly.

She knew her sister always suffered from severe menstrual cramps, so she gave her painkillers earlier and assumed she had fallen asleep while playing on her phone.

"Sigh, I hope this idiot doesn't sleep on the sofa without a blanket again." Shao Nanyin sighed slightly, feeling like she wasn't raising an older sister, but a daughter who was always causing trouble.

"I should call and remind her later, so she doesn't cry again tonight."

Thinking this, she decided to finish her work as soon as possible and go to the break room.

But the next second, she suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation. It was like a memory buried deep in her bones suddenly awakening, making her tremble involuntarily.

She seemed to... sense the king's presence.

Shao Nanyin suddenly stood up, her face pale, her forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and her eyes behind her glasses gradually gleamed with a golden light.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, soaking the stray hairs at his temples.

She staggered to the window and saw a black Mercedes parked downstairs.

A gray-haired foreigner pushed open the door and came out, but he was not her target.

A man in a suit with slanted eyebrows got out of the back seat. He seemed to be talking to the people in the car, but suddenly looked up at her floor as if he had something in mind.

Even from such a distance, Shao Nanyin could still feel the terrifying pressure in that gaze.

With a thud, her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless.
