Chapter 6

Luo Xiao furrowed his brows, but at this moment, he did not say anything more.

Wutu is a barren and chaotic land, and Yongcheng is merely a city in the vast Wutu. Luo Xiao originally thought he was the first to find the suffering Lvyunzi.

But he did not expect that someone had already beaten him to it.

Putting aside Luo Xiao's extremely strong possessive desire for the Valkyrie Lvyunzi, even if he were to send her back to the Zulong City-State Li family during this difficult time, he would receive great rewards.

Luo Xiao had just become a dragon tamer, and his Gilded Fire Dragon had boundless potential, but he also needed a truly powerful force to pave his way to the heavens. The Li family he once served was the perfect choice!

Of course, this time he would not enter the Zulong City-State Li family as a servant, but as a true dragon tamer.

The people of Yongcheng might not know Lvyunzi's background, but Luo Xiao was very clear about it.

"The journey is long, Miss, you will have to endure the ride on my Gilded Fire Dragon back to the Zulong City-State. However, my Fire Dragon is naturally fierce and dislikes others stepping on its back. This gentleman will have to find his own way," Luo Xiao said.

"Zhuminglang has just entered the Dragon Taming Academy, and his young dragon has not yet formed. For now, he can only summon some ghost birds to send messages. We will need Mr. Luo's protection and vigilance along the way," Lvyunzi said.

"Stepping into this barbaric Wutu before becoming a true dragon tamer is indeed courageous. Since that's the case, let's set off as soon as possible," Luo Xiao seemed unwilling to linger here.

...

Zhuminglang was a person who understood how to read people's expressions and intentions.

This terrifying dragon tamer, Luo Xiao, despite showing great respect for the Valkyrie, was clearly wary of the vast power behind the Zulong City-State.

However, Wutu Yongcheng was too far from the Zulong City-State, and Wutu had never been a place of civilization.

Barbaric and primitive, it was filled with conflicts and battles, and the tribes and cities were constantly at war. Unless there was a sufficiently powerful force standing firm, there could be no true order.

In this remote place, even though the Valkyrie came from a more glorious city-state clan, her plight here was truly helpless. Even if Luo Xiao did something out of line, the powerful city-state clan behind her would likely never know.

The Valkyrie's body was still weak, probably due to poisoning... well, perhaps partly because of his own actions.

She had not recovered even a fraction of her former strength, and having him pretend to be someone from her clan was to warn the powerful dragon tamer Luo Xiao, to prevent him from taking advantage of her.

Luo Xiao's gaze on the Valkyrie was too intense, and even with great effort to control himself, the desire in his eyes was still evident.

The Valkyrie had already experienced one humiliation and was well aware that anything could happen when she was weak. She did not believe that Luo Xiao was genuinely there to escort her.

Without fully recovering her strength and returning to the Zulong City-State, no one was trustworthy.

On the contrary, this man who had already done everything he should and shouldn't do was relatively safe for her.

Luo Xiao walked ahead, heading towards the back mountain that was now a maple forest.

The Valkyrie Lvyunzi slowed her steps slightly.

After understanding the Valkyrie's intention to have him pretend to be someone from her clan, Zhuminglang sighed and whispered to her, "It's hard for you."

Having lost her power and strength, the once brilliant and glorious woman now walked on thin ice.

Lvyunzi's expression changed when she heard these words.

Her steps slowed even more, and when she was level with Zhuminglang, she whispered, "Don't let him see through it. Yongcheng has already been turned into a sea of fire by him, with few survivors..."

Zhuminglang was shocked.

Destroying a city and slaughtering its people!

Was this Luo Xiao a psychopath? Even to avenge the Valkyrie, it was unnecessary...

Suddenly, Zhuminglang realized something and recalled Luo Xiao's undeniable infatuation with Lvyunzi.

This psychopath might be targeting him. He didn't know who the little beggar people were talking about, so he simply destroyed the entire city!!

Zhuminglang's heart raced, and he couldn't help but feel wary of this pale-faced Luo Xiao in green and red robes!

"He was once my father's servant, but he was expelled from the family for secretly peeking at me practicing swordsmanship. He harbors resentment and has now become a dragon tamer..." Lvyunzi continued.

Lvyunzi was very clear about her current situation. She had to rely on Zhuminglang to play the role of someone from her clan to intimidate Luo Xiao, otherwise, she would still be at his mercy.

"He didn't directly take you away because he wants to use this opportunity to return to your clan?" Zhuminglang asked.

"Yes," Lvyunzi replied.

"He is forcibly escorting you, and it's hard to say if he will lose control along the way!" Zhuminglang said.

Lvyunzi did not speak again.

Despite her calm demeanor, Zhuminglang could see the alertness in her eyes, like a wounded deer, constantly thinking and seeking her own sense of security.

Sigh, at least she was a woman who had shared a beautiful time in the dungeon with him. He had to do something for her.

Wait a minute!

He was supposed to retire in Sangzhen.

This way, wouldn't he have to go to the prosperous and powerful city-state, where his ordinary life would be buried in a more vast world?

What about the promise of no responsibility?

...

...

The sky was distant, and the Gilded Fire Dragon was a rare and powerful dragon. Its scales always shimmered with flames, casting a red glow across the sky, making it look magnificent!

Zhuminglang had ridden a flying dragon before, but without a windproof coat, he could only let the fierce wind slap his face, especially in the cold autumn.

Riding the dragon, despite being on the dragon's back, the Valkyrie and Zhuminglang were still at the mercy of the dragon.

Luo Xiao, though a living person, always gave the impression of being a beast that could turn into a man-eater.

Zhuminglang was convinced that without his presence, the weak Valkyrie would have already been devoured by Luo Xiao.

Several times during their rest stops, Zhuminglang felt his life threatened by this man!

...

A campfire, a few large stones, and the three of them sat around the flames. Zhuminglang skillfully roasted a large blue fish, and soon the aroma filled the air.

Dividing it into three portions, he served it on lotus leaves and first handed one to Lvyunzi. Their fingers touched, and her hand was still cold.

"Mr. Luo Xiao, this is yours," Zhuminglang said to Luo Xiao.

"Thank you," Luo Xiao did not act overly arrogant towards his clan members.

Taking a bite of the fish, Luo Xiao suddenly raised his gaze and looked at Zhuminglang, asking, "Since Brother Zhuminglang is entering the Dragon Taming Academy, do you know the different ranks of dragons? What is your young spirit, and can you summon it for me to see?"

Zhuminglang looked up at him.

Are you crazy? I just cooked such a delicious fish, and you don't enjoy it but try to probe me!

Sure enough, he's a psychopath.

After cursing him in his heart, Zhuminglang maintained the same smile and replied, "Mr. Luo, how can you joke like this? I'm not a true dragon tamer yet, and I haven't formed a spirit domain, so I can't summon my young spirit. My young spirit is indeed a storage dragon, but it's inconvenient to carry. It's still in the warm nest of my clan, preparing for hibernation."

A young spirit is a small creature with the potential to become a dragon.

Dragon tamers cannot freely summon young spirits, so taking care of them is a very tedious task. Almost no one would take a weak young spirit on a long journey, especially since not all young spirits will become dragons.

A young spirit that cannot become a dragon is worthless.

Many people spend their entire lives and all their wealth, yet may not choose a young spirit that will eventually become a dragon.

The Dragon Gate is a lofty goal for many, one that they may never even have the chance to aspire to.

"I have also just become a dragon tamer, so I might make some mistakes with common knowledge. Ha ha, but what are the different ranks of dragons? I always feel that my Crimson Dragon is much stronger than other dragons after it transformed," Luo Xiao laughed falsely.

"Dragons are ranked as Dragon Prince, Dragon General, Dragon Lord, Dragon Emperor, and Dragon King... Perhaps Mr. Luo's dragon has noble blood and the potential of a Dragon Lord," Zhuminglang laughed along, but in his heart, he had already cursed Luo Xiao's entire family.

They were almost at the Zulong City-State, and this Luo Xiao was still not giving up.

Obsession is truly a terrifying thing!

Speaking of which...

Luo Xiao was expelled from the family and severely beaten for secretly watching the Valkyrie practice swordsmanship.

Just watching her practice, and she wasn't even undressed.

So, wouldn't he, who had done everything with the Valkyrie, be thrown into a pot of boiling oil by the Li family, then wrapped in a large leaf to be fed to a dragon?
