Chapter 1765 – A Loss For Both Sides (1)
If the dragons in the north decided to work together, banded together like strands of a rope, and fought to the death with Long Yan, Wen Ya would feel that they were a race who was truly worthy of admiration and she would also be willing to fight side by side with them and, even if she died as a result, she would have no complaint.
But this was not the case at all.
The dragons in the north curled up in the valley and lived in earnest. They did not have the courage to fight Long Yan at all. Even the several proposals of Long Shi to attack Long Yan had been rejected by that group of idiot golden dragons. Long Shi alone fought Long Yan’s army of undead several times and was plunged into many dangerous situations. In the end, that group of dragons did not admire the heroism nor fighting spirit of Long Shi. On the contrary, they repeatedly denounced Long Shi and said that his unauthorized actions were likely to expose their whereabouts.
On several occasions, Long Shi was hard-pressed by those pig-like teammates of the same race, and so, he no longer held hope in them.
All this had been witnessed by Wen Ya and Shen Yu with their own eyes, and they felt that it was not worth it for Long Shi.
Long Shi was a dragon. It was his natural instinct to smear the ground with liver and gall for the sake of the Dragon Race. But even so, Long Shi was deeply hurt by the dragons themselves.
But who was Shen Yanxiao?
She was a human being of the Radiance Continent!
She had nothing to do with the Dragon Race. The only one who had anything to do with her was Long Shi, who had once saved her father’s life. But right now, even Long Shi was opposed to Shen Yanxiao’s idea.
Why should they let their daughter fall into crisis for such a group of dragons who had already lost their fighting spirit?
If she failed, the dragons would not shed a tear for Shen Yanxiao, nor would they feel a trace of sadness for her. Only her parents and companions would be sad for her.
Even if Shen Yanxiao succeeded, the dragons would not appreciate her at all.
Shen Yanxiao didn’t have to work so hard for them like this.
“Mother, I’m not doing this only for the dragons, but also for us, human beings.” Shen Yanxiao couldn’t put up a tough attitude when facing her parents. She knew that Shen Yu and Wen Ya were worried about her safety.
Could she really betray her parents’ good intentions?
“Say no more about this.” Wen Ya displayed an unusually firm attitude.
The scholar would die for his bosom friend, but the dragons were not so close to Shen Yanxiao.
The little golden dragon, who had been silent from the very beginning, watched Shen Yanxiao suffer various protests. He bit his lips, parted his legs, and walked over to Shen Yanxiao silently. He stretched out his hand to pull at Shen Yanxiao’s clothes.
“Big sister, you don’t have to do that, I… I don’t mind me being like this. Even without the Dragon King’s Decree, I will think of other ways to become stronger. I will not forget my promise. I will live bravely, strive to make myself stronger, and I will avenge those who have died protecting me. Big sister, you don’t have to take any risks. If you met any accident, your parents will be sad. I… I’ll be sad, too.” The little golden dragon raised his head and his big clear eyes sparkled with tears.
Shen Yanxiao’s eagerness to get the Dragon King’s Decree was because the dragons would not want to provide him with some blood to replace what in him was contaminated. But she didn’t have to take such risks.
The little golden dragon had already seen too many people sacrificed for him, and he was no longer willing to let others take on danger for him.
Shen Yanxiao was not his father’s subordinate. She didn’t have to work so hard for him.
The little golden dragon’s soft voice calmed the atmosphere, and his sensible words made people want to love him dearly.
Shen Yanxiao lowered her head. She looked at the little golden dragon with an earnest look and smiled, “As I said, this is not only for the dragons, but also for us human beings.”
