Chapter 191 - The Lazy Dragon
"You are back." Li Moyun stepped down from the stairs, looking straight at Bai Rouyun with undisguised adoration in his eyes. The tenderness and love were overflowing in his actions, but it did not make Bai Rouyun shy. Instead, a brilliant smile lit up her face.
She had changed since her time of rebirth. Although her core was still the same, and her personality was as bright as always, she was now much more thoughtful. She understood the changes that had occurred were from gaining a better understanding of the world, and she was no longer as naive, nor blind.
She was able to see through things much clearer, and gain a rapid understanding of certain aspects.
Her emotions were much more vivid now, and she understood that one of the reasons for her previous simple mind was that her soul had been split. While she was capable of living normally, a flawed soul would naturally cause many problems.
"I am home." Bai Rouyun walked to Li Moyun and hugged him around the waist. Only when she was within his embrace did she truly feel at peace.
"Welcome home." Li Moyun gently caressed her hair as a smile appeared on his cold lips. These two figures were truly made for one another, and as Mo Chu stood aside and looked at them as they were bathed in the rays of sunshine which fell through the windows, made him feel that the picturesque image was simply perfect.
Neither Li Moyun nor Bai Rouyun mentioned the murder cases, which were still the talk of town, and instead focused on her experiences.
"This is Xiao Hua." Bai Rouyun showed the beautiful vine which was wrapped around her wrist. It resembled a bracelet, very delicate and also beautiful, but upon knowing the origin of the vine, he was somewhat astounded.
Then, Bai Rouyun continued by introducing Xiao Mao to Li Moyun, and the Cloud Leopard appeared from within the Primal Chaos Dimension.
It had been staying by Xiao Hua"s side, and the two were now capable of communicating mentally, as both of them had a connection to Bai Rouyun.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao observed them; they were unsure of these two additions to the family. Were they their pets? But their intelligence did seem rather high for being a pet. The Cloud Leopard could be considered a mount, but the flower was a hard one to understand.
It was not only Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao who were somewhat confused; Li Moyun also felt a little puzzled as to why Bai Rouyun had taken in the Cloud Leopard. He did not care much about her decision, and he was happy to support her; he just did not understand it.
"I felt that it was very pitiful," Bai Rouyun answered when she heard his doubts. "Xiao Mao was injured, and many would hunt him down for the sake of his bloodline. I felt rather connected with him, as I know how horrible it feels to be hunted down."
Li Moyun instantly understood. He said nothing more and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before hugging her gently, afraid that she remembered some unpleasant memories.
"Don"t worry," she said as she gently patted him on the back. "I am not sad. I am actually rather grateful for all of this happening, as the desperation back then was what caused the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da to sign a contract with me. This treasure gave me a new future, and my new life is much better than before."
Li Moyun looked at her eyes, but all he saw was sincerity and happiness. He instantly understood that she had, in fact, put down her past, and was living for her future with happiness and excitement.
Such realization made his heart warm, and he could not help but hug her tightly again. He truly felt that he was the most fortunate person in the world to encounter this woman and be able to be together with her.
"So, what would you like to do now?" Li Moyun had led Bai Rouyun into the dining room, where they took a seat and started eating. Xiao Long was lying comfortably on a small pillow on the table, having fallen asleep, and Bai Rouyun noticed that the little golden dragon had grown rather swiftly.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was indeed the strongest bloodline of all the golden dragons, but even so, their advance should be quite slow. These beasts always needed a lot of time and energy to advance.
"Some of the pill formulas that you gave Wen Sihan were meant for beasts," Li Moyun explained as he noticed the sleeping, lazy dragon on the pillow, and shook his head in helplessness.
"After realizing that they taste rather well, Xiao Long has been consuming them as if they were candies. At first, I was worried whether or not it would have a negative effect on his cultivation, but it seems that it doesn"t. All that happens is that the efficiency becomes lower and lower, until they have no effect at all."
"He seems happy," Bai Rouyun said with laughter in her voice. She could see that Li Moyun felt very helpless against this beast, which had personally created a contract with him.
Xiao Long was always either sleeping or eating. He did not like to work, and his favorite hobby was to sleep. Even eating was not as important as sleeping.
"Idiot mother, the dragon is cultivating while sleeping." The voice of Xiao Bao resounded within Bai Rouyun"s mind. "Baby dragons need to integrate with the dragon legacy that is within their blood. The stronger the bloodline, the bigger their heritage. The blood legacy will take a long time to be completed, and it is easiest to merge it into his body while he sleeps."
"Really?" Bai Rouyun was somewhat surprised when she heard this, but looking at the little dragon, it did make sense.
