Chapter 283: According To Seniority, That Is Your Little Grand-Uncle
After consuming the Nirvana Holy Liquid and recovering her vitality, Ao Bing’s tribulation continued smoothly.
Streaks of lightning tribulation morphed into weapons and attacked the dragon egg. But they were all blocked by the dragon armor formed by Ao Bing.
The surging lightning was also cleansing Ao Bing’s bloodline, making her new body in this second life even more perfect.
Soon, the Heavenly Tribulation cloud in the sky dissipated, and sunlight shone again on the Saint Mountain and on the dragon egg.
Crack!
The dragon egg cracked open, and a little girl in a black dress emerged. She exuded the aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Her aura was far beyond that of a normal Nascent Soul pract.i.tioner, very extraordinary.
An exquisite face also appeared before everyone. She looked incomparably cute.
Although that face looked young and immature, the girl had an extremely wicked body. Curvy in all the right places.
What a wickedly hot Dragon!
“What a cute Big Dragon Sister. Why have I never seen her on Dragon Island?” While shrouded in purple aura, Ao Wu’s eyes shone as he murmured to himself, “Her bloodline is also very pure. Even purer than mine!”
She’s looking over here now!
Ao Wu’s cute little face blushed.
This was because the girl in the black dress on the Saint Mountain had felt his presence. She turned toward Ao Wu and morphed into a Black Dragon before flying over to land in front of him.
She then turned back into human form and gazed down imperiously at Ao Wu. “Little brat, are you from Black Dragon Island?”
Little brat?
This stupid girl insulted me!?
d.a.m.n, I am not little at all! I am clearly not a little brat!
Ao Wu’s face flushed red from anger. He had thought this big sister was quite cute. A pity she was so foul-mouthed.
Ao Wu pointed at Ao Bing with one hand and propped the other on his waist. “How dare you! I am Ao Wu, the Seventh Dragon Prince of Black Dragon Island. How dare you be so rude to me?”
Duang!
Ao Wu was smacked to the floor, and a huge b.u.mp appeared on his forehead.
Ao Bing stuck her hands on her hip and huffed. “Who is the Second Dragon Prince of Black Dragon Island, Ao Lei, to you?”
Second Dragon Prince of Black Dragon Island. Isn’t that Second Elder Brother? Isn’t he called Ao Li? When did he change his name to Ao Lei?
Ao Wu rubbed the b.u.mp on his head pitifully. “Big Sister, did you remember wrongly? My Second Elder Brother is not called Ao Lei.”
Ao Bing mulled over that before asking, “Then is there an elder called Ao Lei in the Black Dragon Island?”
Upon seeing Ao Bing raise her fists again, Ao Wu wisely chose to tell her. “Yes, yes. My grandfather is called Ao Lei. Big Sister, you... Why are you asking about my grandfather?”
Grandfather? Ao Lei is this kid’s grandfather?
Ao Bing was stunned. She gazed at Ao Wu more kindly now, with a hint of grandmotherly benevolence.
“This is so unexpected. Little Lei, that strait-laced Dragon, managed to find a partner. The heavens must be blind!”
The corners of Ao Wu’s lips twitched. He quietly took a few steps back and said fiercely, “My grandfather was the previous Black Dragon King.
“Big Sister, you might have a very pure bloodline, but you will be punished for insulting my grandfather this way.”
Punished?
In a flash, Ao Bing was standing in front of Ao Wu. She pinched his chubby cheeks and tugged at them.
She chuckled. “I will be punished just for making a few comments about Ao Lei? Is that kid so pompous now? Also, who gave you the right to call me Big Sister?”
To be honest, that little Dragon kid’s chubby cheeks were excellent for pinching.
Ao Wu felt very aggrieved as his cheeks were being squeezed and tugged. “What should I call you then?”
Ao Bing let go of Ao Wu’s face and took out a black token. “This is my ident.i.ty token. Take a look for yourself.”
Ao Wu took the token and quickly retreated to stand beside Qi Shaoxuan. Pitiful tears were already trickling down his face.
This big sister looks very beautiful, but she is too violent. This kind of shrew, she will never find a partner...
Ao Wu studied the token which Ao Bing had handed him. A roaring five-clawed Black Dragon was carved upon it. It looked extremely fierce and domineering.
This was Black Dragon Island’s insignia. The sign of absolute power across the entire five regions. No one would dare to belittle the authority of this token.
Carved on the flip side of the token were five large words: Eldest Princess, Ao Bing.
Black Dragon Island... Eldest Princess... Ao Bing? What a familiar name...
Oh!
Ooohhh!
Oooooohhhhhh!
Ao Wu suddenly recalled his father speaking of this name before.
The so-called Eldest Princess Ao Bing was the most powerful prodigy of Black Dragon Island 10,000 years ago. She had the purest bloodline.
In that age of unrest, Black Dragon Island’s Ao Bing and the Southern Border Nirvana Mountain’s Immortal Phoenix Queen had been the two most powerful prodigies of the demon race.
If Ao Bing hadn’t mysteriously disappeared during that battle, she would have become the ultimate leader of North Sea’s Black Dragon Island. Led by her, the Dragon race would have stood toe-to-toe with the Phoenix race.
How did this big sister get this token? And her bloodline is definitely extraordinary. Could it be...
Ao Wu gasped. He was so shocked that a puff of dragon breath escaped his nostrils. “You, you, you, you!”
Ao Bing put her hand on her hip and thrust out her chest.
She nodded smugly. “That’s right, I am Ao Lei’s Eldest Sister. According to seniority, you should call me Grand-Aunt!”
Grand... Grand-Aunt?
The corners of Ao Wu’s lips twitched wildly as he studied the dragon-horned lolita, who was only half a head taller than him.
What is going on?
This big sister is my grand-aunt? She must be joking!
Didn’t they say that Grand-Aunt Ao Bing went missing 10,000 years ago? How can she be standing here right now?
Ao Wu stared at Ao Bing in a daze. For a moment there, he started to have doubts about the meaning of life. Qi Shaoxuan’s suspicious voice sounded out from the side.
With his Heaven’s Halberd in hand and shrouded in purple aura, Qi Shaoxuan stared straight at Ao Bing. “If I remember correctly, Dragon Lady Ao Bing existed 10,000 years ago.
“You claim to be Dragon Lady Ao Bing, but do you have any other proof? Just this Black Dragon Token alone is not convincing enough!”
To be honest, Qi Shaoxuan was feeling very jealous.
He had always been very proud of gaining the recognition of North Sea’s Black Dragon Island’s Dragon Prince and signing a Dragon G.o.d contract.
To his knowledge, he was the only person over the past few hundred years to be acknowledged by the Dragon race and become a Dragon Knight. It was a great honor.
But today, he had seen another Black Dragon in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
This Black Dragon possessed an extremely pure and powerful bloodline, such that even Ao Wu was feeling suppressed.
More importantly, she was a female Dragon!
An extremely hot female Dragon!
Qi Shaoxuan felt very despondent. The sour taste of jealousy made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He truly hoped that this young girl was not Ao Bing. This was because a Dragon Knight’s status was according to the Dragon one signed a contract with.
Qi Shaoxuan’s Dragon G.o.d contract was with Ao Wu. Thus, his status was the same as Ao Wu’s. He had to call the North Sea Black Dragon King “Uncle”.
If he met the previous Black Dragon King Ao Lei, he would be two ranks lower in seniority.
If this young girl was truly Ao Bing, the Dragon race’s Eldest Princess from 10,000 years ago, Qi Shaoxuan would also have to call her Grand-Aunt then.
And if Qi Shaoxuan heard correctly, this young girl allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to call her... Big Sister Bing.
Qi Shaoxuan’s scalp went numb at what this implied!
No, no. She cannot be Ao Bing. No way!
...
The brows on Ao Wu’s exquisite lolita face furrowed slightly as she gazed at Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu, both of whom looked like they were questioning the meaning of life.
She stared at Qi Shaoxuan. “You doubt my ident.i.ty? How dare you!”
Roar!
Ao Bing let out a thundering dragon roar and appeared right before Qi Shaoxuan.
A soft, tender right hand glowed with the sheen of precious jewels. It smacked Qi Shaoxuan lightly on the face.
“Dragon Claw!”
That smack looked very gentle, but Qi Shaoxuan’s face suddenly swelled up.
“Dragon Armor!”
Boundless purple aura gathered around Qi Shaoxuan’s body, morphing into a purple dragon scale armor.
A look of mockery appeared on Ao Bing’s face. She pressed her little hand against the armor.
Roar!
An earth-shaking dragon roar reverberated across the sky. That armor shattered into pieces, which shot out in all directions.
Unhindered by the flying pieces of armor, Ao Bing’s hand struck Qi Shaoxuan’s Heaven’s Halberd and sent him flying across the air.
At that moment, Qi Shaoxuan felt like a ma.s.sive violent Dragon
What a despicable female Dragon. How is she so powerful!
“So what if you are a Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage cultivator? I killed so many of you 10,000 years ago.”
Ao Bing gazed impa.s.sively at Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu. “How can a mediocre person like you be worthy of being a human partner to the Dragon race?
“A human partner represents our race to the human world. He is so weak, you better cancel that contract as soon as possible!”
...
Defeated?
All the spectators at the base of Saint Mountain were dumbstruck.
The great Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan—ranked number one on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List, and the invincible king of prodigies in his generation—was actually defeated by this little Dragon girl? Her mighty force was just too great.
Although no one believed that this little Dragon girl was as young as she appeared, no one doubted that her cultivation level was at the Golden Core stage.
A Golden Core cultivator able to defeat Qi Shaoxuan, a Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage pract.i.tioner, with just one strike? Her inborn talent was terrifying!
Qi Shaoxuan had come in such an arrogant bl.u.s.ter to challenge the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian.
In the end, the Divine Firmament Saint Shen Tian didn’t want to fight. He just sent a female Dragon, which had just hatched from her egg, and she managed to easily defeat Qi Shaoxuan.
From amongst the crowd, Li Yunfeng gazed at Ao Bing and Qi Shaoxuan with glittering eyes.
He already had tomorrow’s headline news!
...
Studying the domineering Ao Bing, Qi Shaoxuan looked very uncertain.
Ao Bing moved her fingers slightly, and the Black Dragon Token in Ao Wu’s hand flew back to her.
Ao Bing activated the Black Dragon Token with her divine consciousness. A brilliant light erupted from the token, filling the sky with a dazzling brightness.
Soon, the dazzling light gathered to form a majestic image.
It was the projection of a ma.s.sive Dragon submerged in lava. The exposed parts of the Dragon alone were already hundreds of feet.
It was pitch black, and its dark-red eyes possessed an indomitable authority. Even though the actual Dragon was far away, everyone could feel its terrifying power.
It was clear that this was an ultimate Dragon King. If the Dragon itself was truly present then, everyone across all five regions would be shuddering in fear.
But as the Dragon surveyed the area, its eyes were full of shock. “This divine consciousness... It’s...”
Ao Bing lifted her tiny head and stuck one hand on her hip. “Second Little Brother, it’s me. Your Eldest Sister.”
The look of shock in the Dragon King’s reddish eyes intensified upon seeing this face so familiar from his youth and feeling that familiar aura. He gave off waves of energy.
Boom!
A ma.s.sive volcano erupted and surging lava shot up into the sky, covering the surrounding region in a sea of fire and smoke.
A huge, domineering black elder gradually appeared in mid-air. His eyes were filled with uncontained joy. “Eldest Sister. Is it really you?”
Ao Bing pouted. “Let me ask you, who is the head of Black Dragon Island now? Do my words still hold any ground?”
This ancient Dragon Sage, who had looked so domineering earlier, was now smiling ingratiatingly.
“Eldest Sister, what are you talking about? I have already retired. My son Ao Ye is the one managing the affairs of Black Dragon Island now.
“But you still have the final say over everything on Black Dragon Island. Where are you? I will call all our brothers to come to fetch you!”
Ao Bing pouted again. “I am now at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. I have no plans to return yet. I will contact you when I want to go back. That’s all. Don’t bother me unnecessarily.”
With that, Ao Wu cut off the line of communication and kept her Black Dragon Token. She gazed at the stupefied Ao Wu.
“How about that? Your very own grandfather. I am sure you recognize him!”
Gurgle!
Ao Wu swallowed hard.
To be honest, he was very scared of his grandfather, Ao Lei.
The previous Black Dragon King, Ao Lei, was well-known to be very fierce and very stern.
Most grandfathers were especially doting and loving, but not Ao Lei.
All his life, Ao Wu had never seen Ao Lei smile. Ao Wu had even undergone his special training regiment.
From battle techniques, dragon skills to dragon history and literature, Ao Lei had been very strict and demanding. Ao Wu shuddered in fear at the memory.
Ao Wu had always thought his grandfather lacked the “smiling” gene.
But today, his entire worldview was shattered.
Grandfather smiled like an ingratiating puppy in front of this female Dragon!
Could it be this female Dragon, who looks just a tad older than me, is really my grand-aunt? But that is ridiculous!
“Congratulations, Big Sister Bing, on being reborn. You will soon be reunited with your siblings.”
Dazzling in mid-air with his golden wings behind him, Shen Tian slowly landed in front of everyone. His smile was like a breath of fresh air.
When he landed at the base of Saint Mountain, the flowers around him all bloomed brilliantly. The depleted energy in the area was also rapidly replenished.
For a moment there, he became the center of everyone’s attention.
...
Zhang Yunxi and the rest had already notified Shen Tian about Qi Shaoxuan’s antics.
However, Shen Tian was not angry at that.
After all, he had already signed the Dragon G.o.d contract with Ao Bing. He had a.s.sumed the responsibility of being the Black Dragons’ human partner.
According to a Dragon Knight’s customs, his status in the Black Dragon race was equivalent to Ao Bing’s. That was to say he was more senior than Ao Wu by two ranks.
And since Qi Shaoxuan had signed his Dragon G.o.d contract with Ao Wu, his seniority was on par with Ao Wu’s. This meant that he was two ranks lower than Ao Bing.
Put that all together, it also meant that Qi Shaoxuan’s status was two ranks below Shen Tian’s. He had to call Shen Tian... Little Grand-Uncle.
Shen Tian was a very magnanimous man toward grandchildren.
After all, he was the adult. Why get angry with a little child? It was completely unnecessary.
Shen Tian gazed benevolently at Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu. “Big Sister Bing, be more kind toward the children.”
Ao Wu blinked dazedly as he looked at this handsome man. He felt that he was so much more good-looking than Qi Shaoxuan.
He was also more good-tempered. He gave off a very refreshing vibe.
Why did someone like this big brother sign a Dragon G.o.d contract with Grand-Aunt? Wouldn’t he feel that Grand-Aunt is too old for him?
After quietly stealing a glance at Ao Wu’s head, Shen Tian’s eyes brightened. “This little Dragon boy is rather sprightly.”
The corners of Ao Wu’s lips twitched.
Sprightly little Dragon boy? I am not little at all!
Haha, in some ways, I am bigger than you!
Duang!
Ao Wu received a straight smack on the head.
Another b.u.mp appeared on Ao Wu’s head. There were two matching b.u.mps now, one on the left, one on the right.
Ao Wu felt like crying. “Grand-Aunt, why did you hit me?”
Ao Bing snorted. “Your elder is speaking to you. Don’t you have any manners? According to seniority, that is your Little Grand-Uncle!”
The corners of Ao Wu’s mouth twitched wildly. He was Black Dragon Island’s Seventh Dragon Prince. She wanted him to call this human Little Grand-Uncle? It would be such a loss of face...
Seeing Ao Bing’s “demon palm” rising again, Ao Wu hurriedly gave a big bow and greeted. “Greetings, Little Grand-Uncle!”
Sob, sob. I am so sad, so wronged. But... Sob, sob... I can’t say anything!
“He’s just a child and doesn’t know any better. Big Sister Bing, you are too impatient.”
Shen Tian sighed softly before taking a small Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring. He gently rubbed the liquid on Ao Wu’s b.u.mp.
The b.u.mp on Ao Wu’s head rapidly went down. Ao Wu was so touched that tears streamed down his cheeks.
He might be young, but he was not foolish.
He could feel that this Shen Tian... This Little Grand-Uncle held no ill-will toward him.
Little Grand-Uncle took out the Nirvana Holy Liquid, such a precious item, just to heal my swollen head... Generous, so generous!
And the cooling sensation of that liquid felt so good.
In the future, I will use this Nirvana Holy Liquid to heal all my physical discomforts.
Anyway, Brother Shaoxuan has quite a bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid too. He should be willing to spare me some.
But I don’t understand. Why did Little Grand-Uncle Shen Tian keep looking right above my head the whole time he was applying the Nirvana Holy Liquid?
Is there something there?
While Shen Tian was busy with Ao Wu, Ao Bing turned her attention back to Qi Shaoxuan.
She gazed at him and said in a calm voice, “According to seniority, you have to call me Grand-Aunt, and Shen Tian Little Grand-Uncle too.
“Are all the young Dragon Knights so ill-mannered nowadays? How did you manage to pa.s.s the test?
“Still staring? What are you staring at me for? Greet me now!”
Looking at Ao Bing, who only came up to his stomach but was standing in a very bossy manner, Qi Shaoxuan’s face turned extremely grim.
I came down here today all raring to go and ready to destroy four opponents at once!
Even though I slipped up and got defeated by the Divine Firmament’s three top prodigies, it was not too humiliating as it was a three-vs-one battle. As long as I defeated the Divine Firmament Saint, I could have regained my honor.
But now, I have met this lolita from 10,000 years ago. Not only do I have a Dragon Grand-Aunt, but the Divine Firmament Saint has also become my Little Grand-Uncle?
Just like that, my mortal enemy turned into my Little Grand-Uncle? What kind of cheap plot is this!?
That’s too ridiculous, isn’t it!?
