Li Wei and Gu Sewei sat on a flat patch of ground halfway up the mountain, reminiscing about the past eight years.
Strange noises continuously echoed from within the snow mountain beneath their feet.
It was the sound of Saint Xi gnawing on metal ores.
Li Wei listened as Gu Sewei described how he had changed in her eyes over the years.
Finally, Li Wei suddenly brought up a question he felt was very important.
"I have a question. When we go back and see Teacher Gu Ze, am I supposed to start calling him my brother-in-law?"
"Huh?" Gu Sewei was a little flustered upon hearing this.
Only then did she remember that Li Wei was Gu Ze’s disciple.
’How am I going to explain this to Gu Ze?’
Gu Sewei hemmed and hawed for a long time before saying, "I don’t know either. Maybe we just shouldn’t tell my brother yet."
Li Wei had no objection to that.
The breakthrough in their relationship had happened in the Dream World.
In the real world, both of them were still virgins.
While Li Wei and Gu Sewei were waiting for Saint Xi to finish eating, a group of uninvited guests arrived on the Snowfield.
"ROAR!"
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Saint Xi let out a powerful, resonant roar.
She burst out from inside the mountain, shattering the peak of the snow mountain that she had already hollowed out.
BOOM!
A massive amount of snow and rubble was sent flying, scattering in all directions.
Li Wei quickly raised a Magic Shield to block the falling snow and rubble from above.
He looked up at Saint Xi, who was soaring into the sky.
The Holy Giant Dragon, her body gleaming with a golden luster, soared through the sky, freely unleashing her Power and reveling in her hard-won freedom.
WHOOSH!
A fierce gust of wind battered the ground, and a colossal shadow fell over Li Wei.
CRASH!
Saint Xi landed on the mountainside, looked down at Li Wei, and said, "I don’t have to hide anymore."
Li Wei looked at her and said, "Even though you’ve gotten much stronger, you can’t let your guard down. The enemies we have to face are unimaginably powerful."
Hearing this, Saint Xi nodded. "Oh, I know."
She gazed toward the distant sky. On the other side of that sky were her enemies.
Her enemies were incredibly powerful. Even though she had become a Legendary Giant Dragon, she was still no match for them.
A thousand years ago, the Dark Demon Dragon had already entered its Peak Stage.
Calculating the duration of a Peak Stage based on a dragon’s lifespan, it was possible that after a thousand years, the Dark Demon Dragon was still in its Peak Stage.
It might be another few hundred years before it would decline from its peak.
Saint Xi had never given up on the idea of taking revenge on the Dark Demon Dragon.
But the only way for her to achieve her revenge was to wait for time to pass, wait for herself to grow stronger, and wait for the Dark Demon Dragon to fall from its Peak Stage, when its power would decline.
Besides the immensely powerful Dark Demon Dragon, Saint Xi was also currently threatened by the Light Divine Sect.
So far, all Li Wei knew was that the Light Divine Sect seemed to be searching for a Holy Giant Dragon.
As for why they were searching for a Holy Giant Dragon, he wasn’t sure.
Furthermore, Locks from the Alchemy Tower also seemed to be under someone’s orders, searching for traces of Giant Dragons.
If Saint Xi exposed her identity, she would attract a huge number of enemies.
Li Wei also understood Saint Xi’s desire for freedom, her longing to soar freely through the sky.
But in the current situation, unless Saint Xi was willing to stay in some remote, sparsely populated corner of the world, she would be discovered sooner or later, attracting countless troubles.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to persuade Saint Xi to hide away in his Magic Cottage.
A Giant Dragon shouldn’t have to cower in a hole like a rat.
Saint Xi also understood Li Wei’s inner conflict.
Their souls were already connected, allowing them to sense each other’s subtle emotions.
Saint Xi said nothing. She lowered her head, and a sacred radiance emanated from her body.
The sacred radiance enveloped her entire body. Soon, it rapidly shrank to the size of a normal person.
When the light dissipated, Saint Xi, now transformed into a human girl, appeared before Li Wei.
Li Wei looked astonished. "Ah, you can turn into a human?"
Gu Sewei also stared in amazement at the girl Saint Xi had become.
Saint Xi was wearing a Battle Skirt of white and gold. Her soft, golden hair cascaded down to her waist, and two golden Dragon Horns protruded from her hair, looking like ornaments clipped in place.
She blinked at Li Wei as the Dragon Mighty in her eyes gradually receded. The golden, slitted pupils that symbolized a Giant Dragon vanished, replaced by normal, round golden irises. Yet her aura remained noble, like that of a distinguished Little Princess of the Empire.
Saint Xi explained, "After breaking through to Legendary Level, I gained a ’Transformation’ Extraordinary Trait. I can turn into any creature I’ve touched."
Li Wei looked surprised. "That’s amazing! Is this an ability unique to Holy Giant Dragons, or do all Giant Dragons have it?"
Saint Xi said, "It should be an ability exclusive to Holy Giant Dragons. In my ancestral memories, I’ve rarely seen other Giant Dragons that could turn into humans or other creatures."
Li Wei smiled. He looked at the two Dragon Horns on Saint Xi’s head and asked, "Can’t the Dragon Horns be hidden?"
Saint Xi replied, "This is the best I can do for now. I’ll be able to hide them once I get a little stronger."
Hearing this, Gu Sewei said with a smile, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."
Li Wei looked at her and saw her rummaging through her Spatial Ring.
After a moment, Gu Sewei took out a golden crown. She placed it on Saint Xi’s head with both hands, and the crown merged seamlessly with the Dragon Horns. You wouldn’t even notice them without looking closely.
At a glance, one would just think the Dragon Horns were part of the crown.
Li Wei smiled in satisfaction. "It really suits Saint Xi."
Saint Xi touched the crown on her head and asked curiously, "Really?"
"Quick, let me see what it looks like!"
Gu Sewei waved her hand, and a mirror made of Ice Crystals appeared before Saint Xi, clearly reflecting her current appearance.
Saint Xi stood preening in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection again and again, occasionally adjusting the crown on her head to make herself look even prettier.
Li Wei looked at Gu Sewei with some curiosity and asked, "Why do you have a crown in your Spatial Ring?"
Gu Sewei said, "Oh, this isn’t just any crown. It was a gift from Her Majesty the Queen when I became a Saintess."
"Ah, then isn’t it very important to you?"
Li Wei was just about to tell Saint Xi to give the crown back to Gu Sewei.
But Gu Sewei interrupted him. "It’s fine. It’s just a decorative piece. Although it’s made of pure gold, it’s not a special Magic Item. It only has sentimental value."
"Besides, seeing how much Saint Xi likes it makes me happy too," Gu Sewei said with a smile.
After she was done admiring herself, Saint Xi ran over, hugged Li Wei’s right arm, and looked up at him, wheedling, "Let’s go get something good to eat! Rocks and ice taste awful. I want to eat that roasted meat from last time."
Li Wei patted Saint Xi’s hair with his left hand and said with a smile, "Alright. Once we get back to the Ice and Snow City, I’ll let you eat your fill."
"Oh yeah! Then let’s hurry up and go," Saint Xi said impatiently.
Gu Sewei smiled faintly as she watched Saint Xi, who was clinging to Li Wei like a little girl, pestering him to buy her something delicious.
