Chapter 6

Luo Xiao frowned, but at this moment, he didn't want to 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 Li Yunzi.

But he didn't expect that someone had already beaten him to it.

Putting aside Luo Xiao's extremely strong possessive desire for the Valkyrie Li Yunzi, even if he were to send her back to Zulong City's 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, to which he had once been loyal, was the perfect choice!

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

The people in Yongcheng might not know Li Yunzi's background, but Luo Xiao was very clear about it.

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

"Zhu Ming 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 to guard and alert us along the way," Li Yunzi said.

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

...

Zhu Ming 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 powerful forces behind the Zulong City Li family.

But Wutu and Yongcheng were so far from Zulong City, 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 truly powerful force standing firm, there could be no real order.

Even though the Valkyrie came from a more glorious city and clan, she was now in a difficult situation, and no one would hear her cries for help. If Luo Xiao did anything out of line, the powerful clan behind the Valkyrie would likely never know.

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

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

Luo Xiao's eyes were too obvious when he looked at the Valkyrie, and even with great effort to control himself, the desire in his expression was still noticeable.

The Valkyrie had already experienced one humiliation and knew 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 abilities and returning to Zulong City, no one could be trusted.

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

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

The Valkyrie Li Yunzi slowed her steps slightly.

After understanding the Valkyrie's intention in having him pretend to be from her clan, Zhu Ming sighed softly and said to her, "It's hard for you."

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

Li Yunzi's expression changed when she heard this.

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

Zhu Ming was shocked.

Destroying a city and slaughtering its people!

Was Luo Xiao a psychopath? Even to avenge the Valkyrie, it wasn't necessary...

Suddenly, Zhu Ming realized something and recalled Luo Xiao's unhidden infatuation with Li Yunzi.

This psychopath might be after him, not knowing who the little beggar people were talking about, so he just destroyed the entire city!!

Zhu Ming's heart raced, and he couldn't help but feel wary of the pale-faced Luo Xiao in the green and red robe!

"He was once my father's servant, but he was expelled from the family for secretly watching me practice swordsmanship. He harbors resentment and has now become a dragon tamer..." Li Yunzi continued.

Li Yunzi was very clear about her current situation. She had to rely on Zhu Ming to play the role of someone from her clan to intimidate Luo Xiao, or she would be at his mercy.

"He didn't directly kidnap you because he wants to use this opportunity to return to your clan?" Zhu Ming asked.

"Yes," Li Yunzi said.

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

Li Yunzi didn't say anything more.

Despite her calm demeanor, Zhu Ming 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 a prosperous and powerful city, where his ordinary life would be buried in a more magnificent 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!

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

Riding the dragon, despite being on the dragon's back, the Valkyrie and Zhu Ming 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.

Zhu Ming was convinced that if he weren't there, the weak Valkyrie would have been devoured by Luo Xiao long ago.

Several times when they stopped to rest, Zhu Ming felt his life threatened by this guy!

...

A campfire, a few large stones, and the three of them sat around the fire. Zhu Ming 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 Li Yunzi. His fingers accidentally touched hers, still cold.

"Mr. Luo Xiao, this is yours," Zhu Ming said to Luo Xiao.

"Thank you," Luo Xiao didn't act overly arrogant towards clan members.

Taking a bite of the fish, Luo Xiao suddenly looked up and asked Zhu Ming, "Since you're 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?"

Zhu Ming looked up at him.

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

Sure enough, he's a psychopath.

After cursing him in his heart, Zhu Ming 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 at home, 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 complicated 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, but may not choose a young spirit that will eventually become a dragon.

The Dragon Gate is a place that stands high above the clouds, and many people don't even have the qualifications to look up to it.

"I'm also a recent dragon tamer, so I might make some mistakes with basic 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 Son, Dragon General, Dragon Lord, Dragon Prince, and Dragon King... Perhaps Mr. Luo's dragon has noble blood and the potential of a Dragon Lord," Zhu Ming laughed along, but in his heart, he had already cursed Luo Xiao's family tree.

They were almost at Zulong City, and Luo Xiao still hadn't given up.

Obsession is a terrifying thing!

Speaking of which...

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

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

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