Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

Hearing footsteps coming from the other side, his partner in this life, Toyokawa Shoko, greeted him with a surprised and gentle look.

A flash of doubt passed through his mind, and Ritsu Narose walked over and sat beside her.

"When we first met, you were sitting on a park bench like this."

When his young wife mentioned his past, Ritsu Naruse immediately searched for the scenes of that time in his mind. He said nothing, but could only listen silently as Shoko Toyokawa beside him recounted the fake time he had spent with her.

From the first time they met to the second time they met, from the day of their engagement to the day of the wedding... Ritsu Naruse said nothing, just looked at Shoko Toyokawa, whom he had never seen before.

When she asked him why he was so silent, Naruse Ritsu slowly said, "I remembered a girl I once met."

Mentioning another woman in front of his married wife was really unromantic and had already caused his wife to frown slightly in dissatisfaction.

However, Ritsu Naruse turned a deaf ear to it.

"She suffered a lot when she was young."

With this he began to tell the story of the girl he had seen.

"That wealthy daughter suffered a drastic change and voluntarily followed her father into a life of poverty. Even more unfortunate, her father fell into depression, forcing her to shoulder even more of life's burdens."

His words revealed uncontrollable pity, but his wife looked at him coldly, which was uncharacteristic of her.

"If you like her so much, why didn't you get together with her in the first place?"

"Because I'm worried that any further action I take will cause her to dislike me."

"I still remember a scene I saw in the recording studio." From the corner of her eye, she glanced at her neighbor. Naruse Ritsu's tone remained consistent. "When I walked into the room with the milk tea and snacks I bought, she would sometimes frown in dissatisfaction, criticizing my undisciplined attitude."

"I admire her because it's her self-discipline that makes her so admirable. But when I see her expression when she's captivated by sugar, I can't help but turn a blind eye to the way her icy exterior melts."

"She's so cute—that's what I really thought at the time." Speaking of this, Naruse Ritsu smiled. "So I intensified my efforts to convey my kindness, while maintaining a level that she couldn't refuse."

"If I don't tell her, she will probably never know about this in her life—"

"Don't you think so, Xiangzi?"

Hearing this, Naruse Ritsu, who had turned her back mid-story, shuddered. She remained silent, and after figuring out her response, she sat up straight again, only to have her words once again dissolve into a watery silence.

Sighing, Toyokawa Shoko, who had returned to her original appearance, tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked in a nonchalant tone, "When did you find out?"

"I didn't find anything, I just wanted to test it out."

Suddenly, two blushes appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks, forcing her to close her eyes and concentrate on adjusting her rapid breathing.

"He ran away right after confessing his feelings, without even giving me a chance to respond—isn't Xiangzi really cunning?"

"Su Shi is right next to me, and I have no interest in ruining other people's happiness." Her tone gradually became stiff, and she turned into the familiar look that Ritsu Naruse was familiar with.

After hearing her half-truthful answer, Naruse Ritsu first looked around at the dreamlike scene of peaceful times before turning to the girl beside him: "What about you? Will you be happy in the future?"

"I—" Shoko raised her face stubbornly and forced a smile, "I'm not... unhappy."

"If you're truly happy, why is it so hard for you to smile?"

"If I don't laugh, I'll just cry..."

Even as she said this, her tone couldn't help but become lower.

The past flooded back into her mind, causing her nose to sore. The corners of her eyes turned slightly red, and her remaining self-esteem became a dam, blocking the surging tears.

"There's something I have to make clear to you."

"……what?"

"Besides Sushi, I also maintain special relationships with three...four women."

"..."

It took a long time for Shoko Toyokawa to understand what Ritsu Narose said.

She wanted to sneer at this guy for telling such a clumsy lie, but after seeing the serious look in Naruse Ritsu's eyes, she had to fall silent.

"You're kidding, right?"

Ritsu Narushe shook his head.

"I see……"

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly, then suddenly pulled out her small sickle and chopped it off, still shouting angrily, "Scum!"

“Where did this come from!?”

"Scumbag!"

"I admit it!"

"You bastard who plays with girls' hearts!"

"Although...I'm not playing with anyone!"

After releasing all the frustration in her heart, the breathless Toyokawa Shoko looked at Naruse Ritsu with a mocking look: "So you are targeting me again now?"

"Yes."

Just as he was about to nod, Ritsu Narose saw the small sickle coming towards him.

——"What are you doing?! You're talking as if I'm forcing you!"

Perhaps knowing she was escaping reality, Toyokawa Shoko acted more energetically than usual. Or perhaps this lively and active appearance was the future she was meant to have.

"A scumbag who runs a harem!"

After being glared at fiercely by Toyokawa Shoko again, Naruse Ritsu stared at her until her face turned red with embarrassment, then he looked away: "For me, there is no other way."

Without giving the girl a chance to attack him out of anger, he immediately expressed his true thoughts.

"After I've enjoyed the pleasure of love, can I choose someone I like and end my relationships with others? The feelings I've invested can be taken back by me, so should everything they've done be in vain?"

"If you're going to do that, you should say it openly at the beginning of the story, rather than shamelessly watching someone you love go through a long-distance race that's doomed to fail, without even a single comfort item."

"If I reject them in the end, all I'll get is their gazes filled with pain and even resentment, and a relationship that I've destroyed with my own hands."

"not to mention……"

As she spoke, Ritsu Narose's tone became erratic.

"Moreover, I hope that I can become an indispensable presence in the life of an important person. The feelings between her and me will turn into an unbreakable two-way chain, entangled together, and locked firmly in each other's lives."

"It's the same in the world, it's the same for everyone else, and you are no exception."

Facing the scorching gaze, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but hold her breath.

She didn't expect that Ritsu Narose would be such a heavy character, nor did she expect that he would dissect his inner self in front of her and reveal his deepest desires to her.

"But I'm not them. I've never done anything for you." Turning her head, Toyokawa Shoko said in an awkward tone that she herself didn't even notice, "To you, I'm just a stranger. After getting to know me, all you'll get is endless trouble."

"Is Xiangzi finally willing to tell me the truth?"

Ritsu Narose looked extremely touched, and as a result, received a punch from Shoko Toyokawa that was neither light nor heavy.

"Then let's start from now on," Naruse Ritsu looked at her and said word by word, extending his hand, "Please give your life to me."

Looking at him quietly, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly showed the softest and most heartfelt smile she had seen in recent days.

"I do not want--"

She said so...

……

Taking advantage of the time when Mingse Lu fell into the phantom dream, Tianhuilong, who had been exhausted, regained his spirit.

The ancient dragon's powerful vitality was fully revealed at this moment.

It staggered forward driven only by instinct, staring with greedy and eager eyes at the silver body in front of it that was gradually being devoured by the Mad Dragon Virus.

Suddenly, it saw that in the wriggling black shadow, the Sky Comet Dragon it controlled opened its mouth and seemed to be roaring silently.

The next moment, a very familiar red color appeared in Tian Huilong's blurry vision.

Before his consciousness could react, the burning pain of the dragon energy spread throughout his body.

After his spear wings were completely destroyed and could no longer be used, Ritsu Narushe breathed out dragon energy in the most common way - and at the same time, the rarest way for the Sky Comet Dragon race.

The gas compressed into a beam of light, ruthlessly tearing apart Tianhuilong's body.

As the dragon energy inside his body was awakened, unconcealable red lines appeared on the surface of his body.

The purple-black substance clinging to the face and nearly half of the body gradually hardened and fell off, and even the single horn on the head formed by the Mad Dragon Virus collapsed and destroyed.

Unlike most ancient dragons, the Sky Comet Dragon does not have the dragon horns that people often stereotype.

But now, the eerie, ominous tentacles snapped, and the blood-red dragon energy, like flowing rubies, solidified on the Sky Comet Dragon's head, becoming sharp horns extending backward. The dragon energy escaping from its chest did not immediately disappear in the wind, but instead became a flame that drifted with the wind and burned quietly there.

His spear wings were still restricted, and his combat power was greatly weakened, but he burst out with even stronger momentum.

Realizing that it was about to fall into an irreversible situation in the blink of an eye, the will to survive now completely occupied Tianhuilong's mind. In its moment of despair, it suddenly remembered that it still had a method obtained from a stronger person.

Gathering the remaining scales in front of him, he formed a barrier to obscure his movements. Hastily transforming into a humanoid form, he retrieved the tool that might lead him to his own escape.

"Don't try to escape—"

A crimson light flashed like thunder, instantly piercing the already fragile defenses. Naruse Ritsu's eyes widened as he realized what the barrier was about to do, and he made a split-second decision.

There was no chance to break the chains holding the spear's wings, nor was there time to regroup and exhale from his mouth. The dragon energy within him continued to flow, but in an unfamiliar path.

The pain from the dragon energy burning his left eye was overwhelmed by more intense emotions. The compressed dragon energy shot out at an incredible angle, accurately hitting the tool in Tianhuilong's hand.

The explosion occurred, but in the next moment, the two figures, red and black, suddenly disappeared between the white sky and earth, and soon appeared in the air one after another.

It was unclear what happened during that time. When the onlookers saw them again, the Tianhui Dragon, which was still breathing, had become an unresponsive corpse, and its once dazzling platinum color fell onto the cold and solid frozen soil.

The scarred Tianhuilong made an emergency landing, and the impact of the landing blew away the last lingering purple-black color in the icy air.

The howling blizzard gradually stopped, and as the sun shone on the land again, the girl who had once been reduced to a doll finally opened her eyes.

Lying on the snow, she looked at the young man standing in front of her silently.

88. Epilogue: His Topic

The underground palace, which is the residence of many ancient dragons, is extremely large, but Elsa feels more comfortable walking here than when she walks in human streets.

Passing by a room, she saw the golden ancient dragon still staring at the architectural model sent by Mingse Ritsu, thinking about how to continue expanding on the basis of this palace.

It was very quiet here, and the young ancient dragon she was entrusted to look after was still dormant - this was why she had the time to accept Naruse Ritsu's commission and why she became the witness designated by the Ancestral Dragon.

Arriving in Miraluz's room, Elsa saw this ancient figure, a figure as weighty as history, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. The projector in the room was playing "The Melancholy of Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty," and the sole audience member, wrapped in a blanket, quietly watched a story she had seen countless times.

"It's over." Elsa handed over her compiled report. "Tian Huilong has been confirmed dead. His body has been frozen and stored as he requested."

"Besides..." She seemed a little hesitant when she said this, "He seems to have known for a long time that you arranged all this."

"Him? It would be strange if he didn't know."

The Tianhui Dragon can appear in another world. Apart from coincidence, only the Ancestral Dragon who knows everything can do this.

The young Tianhuilong believed in coincidences, but he believed more in the knowledge and power of the Zulong.

After reading the "Record of the Heaven Return Dragon Subjugation" written from the perspective of the Ice Curse Dragon, Miraluz's calm expression finally relaxed.

"He will loathe me because I brought uncontrollable factors into his life, putting the people he values ​​at risk. He will thank me because this incident has eliminated many wrong options for him, allowing him to practice difficult choices in the future at the lowest cost."

At first, Zulong thought that the young Tianhuilong had sexual interest in ancient dragons of different races other than him. Later, she found out that this guy's sexual fetish was even wilder than she thought.

This was one of the few things in Zulong's life that went beyond her expectations, so she occasionally seemed to take it particularly seriously.

The path represented by Tianhuilong has a certain degree of feasibility in the eyes of Zulong - it is not only a method worth considering, but also an obvious temptation and trial.

She had expected Tianhuilong's resolute attitude, but she had not expected it to develop to the point of hunting down the ancient dragon.

To her shame, she had forgotten that indispensable part of Ritsu Narose's nature.

"It was precisely because he understood the pros and cons that he didn't resist this project," Miraluz said, his lips curling slightly as he thought of his most proud student. "And no matter how he viewed me, in the end, it was just a few insignificant additions to his memory."

As he was speaking, Miraluz suddenly stopped and looked at the open door of the room with a speechless look - a huge object suddenly protruded from the side.

"Come in if you're curious, Aureliet."

Calling out the name she had given to the Xuanhuilong, Miraluz watched the giant creature tremble, and then a figure touching his head and smiling foolishly appeared at the door.

After inviting this uninvited young man to sit down, she continued the topic she had just left: "Tell me - what did you see on this trip?"

Elsa frowned in annoyance, not expecting this question to come back to her. She spent a few seconds assembling her words, then calmly recounted her experience.

First is Tianhuilong, a dull guy.
