Five Dragons (1)


    In the end, Mu Wanwan was unable to swallow the congee herself. She took the spoon, walked to the bed, scooped a spoonful of congee, and tried tentatively to feed it to the tyrant.


    Only, his lips were tightly pursed because of the pain. Mu Wanwan tried several times, but couldnt push the spoon in.


    She thought for a while, and said in a low voice, Excuse me.


    She squeezed the dragons jaw with one hand, forcing his mouth open, blew the congee to cool it down, then fed it to him.


    It might be because he was too hungry although he was seriously injured and disabled, the tyrants body still yearned for food. After stuffing the congee in, Mu Wanwan saw him swallow it instinctively.


    There was a hint of joy in her eyes. If he could swallow on his own, that really saved her a lot of trouble.


    However, perhaps because she had identally fed him a little too quickly just now, some of the soup snaked down the corners of his lips, shining with a glistening light, it just felt strange.


    Mu Wanwans face was a little red. Like a thief plugging his ears as he steals a bell1, she reached out and wiped the soup traces from the corners of his mouth. As she was about to finish feeding the remaining half bowl of congee, she heard Fulius unfriendly voice from outside the door. Madam, are you still not ready?


    Mu Wanwan thought for a while, then poured the congee into the porcin bowl on the table. Before going out, she couldnt help but nce at Mister Long, who was lying in bed. She said softly, Ill be back soon.


    She closed the door and followed Fuliu out of the yard. The air was much fresher, but Mu Wanwans heart was less at ease than it was when she was by the tyrants side.


    Although it was hard on her eyes and nose when she was around him, it was all right once she got used to it.


    While the dragon with broken horns and rotten tail was a little ugly, at least he wouldnt harm her, nor would he disgust her like Bai Shuiyao. Beside Mister Long, she didnt have to worry that she might be killed at any time.


    Were here. Fuliu pulled open the doors of the ancestral hall. Madam, today is thest day.


    Mu Wanwan nodded and knelt before the row of golden tablets under Fulius cold gaze.


    Her knees were a little swollen. When she knelt on the smooth, icy ground, it stung like she was being pricked with needles; it hurt so much that Mu Wanwan sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Kneel well, spat Fuliu, before walking away with the food container. Mu Wanwan quietly changed to a morefortable position, then looked up at the golden tablets that had only been mentioned briefly in the novel.


    These tablets were not quite the same as what she had seen on TV and in real life. The tablets shone with a golden light, and they were all enveloped in ayer of hazy white light, which seemed to be a protective shield, safeguarding the tablets tightly.


    The tablets were engraved with the words of this world. Because of the original bodys memory, Mu Wanwan could read them


    The Supreme Leader, Long Ying of the Golden Dragon n


    The Supreme Leader, Ao Ming of the Green Dragon n


    From top to bottom, there were a total of eleven tablets: Golden Dragon, Green Dragon, Red Dragon, ck Dragon, and White Dragonthere had been a leader from every n before. The eleventh leader, the one who ruled before the tyrant, was Ao Bing of the Green Dragon n.


    Ao Bing, Ao Qin


    They were father and son, but the tyrannical leader was now Mister Long.


    Mu Wanwan sensitively noticed that something seemed to be amiss. Suddenly, a paragraph from the novel describing the friendship between the tyrant and Ao Qin shed in her mind


    The young five-wed deformed dragon with ck, white and gold spots in the past has now be the first dragon to break through the seventh rank. ording to the rules, as long as he can break the dragon horn of the current leader, he can be the new leader.


    The current leader, Ao Bing, was already very old. He had been seriously injured in a battle with the leader of the witchs tribe a few days ago, but he still epted the tyrants challenge. When the tyrant clutched the bloodied broken horns in his blood-stained hands, smiling before the terrified faces of countless from the dragon n, it was Ao Qin who stepped forward and took the lead to congratte him.


    Mu Wanwan didnt think too much about this when she was reading the novel. But now, kneeling in the cold ancestral hall and looking at Ao Bings tablet, then linking it to the miserable appearance of Mister Long, who had been neglected in his bedchamber after his defeat, she felt as if she had touched upon some truth.


    Madam seems to be observing very seriously? A somewhat icy voice suddenly came from behind her. The startled Mu Wanwan looked back reflexively to meet Ao Qins handsome, smiling face.


    I


    A tremendous pressure had filled the air at some point; cold sweat slid down the corners of Mu Wanwans forehead, and it was so stifling that she couldnt utter a word.


    Ao Qin followed the direction of her line of sight just now, swept an indifferent nce at Ao Bings tablet, then shifted his gaze away unconcernedly. He stretched out and gently pressed his white and slender hands on her shoulder. His smile was very friendly, but it made Mu Wanwan feel almost cold all over. What is Madam specting about?


    When had Mu Wanwan ever experienced such pressure? She only felt that her chest was stuffy, and when she came round again, her mouth was already filled with a fishy sweetness.


    Madam, I am very sorry, Ao Qin withdrew the pressurezily, I have just ascended to the sixth rank, and dont have a very urate grasp on my spiritual powers.


    Mu Wanwans throat was full of the taste of fresh blood; she was so nervous that she could barely speak


    For the first time, she became clearly aware of how dangerous this world was, and that she was just so small and weak.


    Its me who has overstepped. Ao Qin withdrew his hand, his eyes bent into a smile. Madam, dont be nervous, I wont do anything to you.


    Starting tomorrow, Madam need note to kneel at the ancestral hall every day, Ao Qin said in a low voice, seeming very respectful. Please make sure to take good care of the sovereign.


    Mu Wanwans face was pale. She saw that Ao Qin was about to leave after he finished speaking, thought of a particr dragons miserable wounds, then gritted her teeth hard and said, Lord Ao Qin.


    Ao Qin stopped in his tracks and looked puzzledly at this chongxi prop that was no different from the ant in his eyes.


    Can you Mu Wanwan gritted her teeth, Give me some medicine, the sovereigns wounds


    Has there been no elixirs for the sovereign yet? Ao Qin narrowed his eyes, seemingly very annoyed and surprised at this. Madam, please rest assured, I definitely wont let those servants treat the sovereign like this.


    The elixir will be delivered to you soon. Ao Qin smiled, After all, the sovereign is also my good friend. I wont allow these servants to bully and humiliate him.


    Mu Wanwan thought, Ill be damned if I believe you, but still smiled joyfully and thanked him several times under his mocking gaze.
