Chapter 1035: Exposing the Truth "Do you want me to die?" asked Pi Zi Long. [www.shuhaige.com Novel House] Lu Yun was taken aback. "You're out of your mind! I'm doing just fine. What makes you think I want to die?" "If you don't want to die, then just drop the question. When the time comes, I'll definitely tell you." "Ridiculous! You've already brushed off my concerns so many times—how much longer are you going to keep putting it off?" Lu Yun was furious. "By heaven! Are you really treating me like someone who doesn't appreciate a toast? You think I didn't notice your body was a valuable asset, and that I didn't have any other place to go, so I let you take the advantage? You think I enjoy staying inside your body, ##(percent sign)…(percent sign)…#?" By the end of his speech, Pi Zi Long launched into a furious tirade, his passion and intensity leaving Lu Yun utterly stunned. This was far sharper and more incisive than the village's own sharp-tongued elders. How could Li Pi-Zi have ever been so humble before? As a noble dragon lineage, he had never before sounded like a widowed woman complaining—his complaints left Lu Yun completely stunned. Lu Yun had always been especially cautious about the mysterious entity that had unexpectedly appeared within him. Who knew what this creature was, and if he inadvertently offended it, who could say when it wouldn’t suddenly burst through his body like a surgeon’s incision? Lu Yun firmly believed that the entity had managed to enter his body without his knowledge, and thus had the very capability to exit at will—perhaps even through his unique, solitary eye. In that case, Lu Yun would undoubtedly be the first world-class strongman to be completely bewildered and fall flat on his face. He absolutely didn’t want to be that strongman. He simply wanted to live a peaceful life, earn a good income, enjoy many women, take good care of his three uncles and aunts, and ensure everyone around him lived happily. That would be more than enough. Yet though this idea may sound rather naive, Lu Yun is currently making good progress in that direction, isn't he? Although his current focus is on learning how to approach girls, Lu Yun believes there are many beautiful young women around him, and his uncle and aunt will surely be delighted and deeply satisfied with the growing number of grandchildren. Indeed, Lu Yun sees himself as their own child—like their own son! Therefore, as long as he hasn't yet allowed his uncle and aunt to enjoy the happiness of having grandchildren, he absolutely must not die—must not die—and he still intends to reveal the little secret he's been quietly holding in his heart. Previously, Land Yun could shout at or even threaten Pi Zi Long purely out of his youthful spirit. And usually, Pi Zi Long regarded himself as a junior, even when there were minor disagreements with Land Yun—he had generally yielded to Land Yun's authority. But today, with Pi Zi Long acting as if he wanted to bite Land Yun's head off, such a scene had never before occurred. Human curiosity is endless, and at this very moment, Land Yun felt exactly that. If he missed this opportunity, he would never know when he might next have a chance to ask—clearly, thoroughly, and with strong justification—what exactly lay hidden within his own body. In truth, even if Pi Zi Long remained silent, Land Yun had already sensed certain clues in his heart, though he refused to acknowledge them. "Have you finished yelling?" Lu Yun simply couldn’t bear it anymore. This creature inside him seemed like a constantly chattering public address system, every sound spreading out through his limbs and body, shaking him so that his very frame trembled uncontrollably. Lu Yun was genuinely afraid that if this persistent scolding continued, his nerves wouldn’t collapse first—his body would be shattered by the sheer force of this noisy, ungrateful presence. “Enough? Enough for what?” Pishu Long seemed to have struck a nerve, his anger surging as he roared, “Back in my day, how majestic and handsome I was! When have I ever been threatened like this by someone so insignificant as you—some little pest!” Little pest? This guy actually called him a pest! Lu Yun was furious. Whether you’re a dragon or not, you’ve been living inside my body without paying rent—fine. But to call me a pest? That’s simply intolerable! He had to explode. If he didn’t explode, then this creature, who might just be a four-legged snake, truly underestimated him. Once Lu Yun got passionate, he completely lost his composure and launched a counterattack right away: "For heaven's sake, did you think I was asking you to stay inside my body? Go bother someone else! You really think you're a dragon, do you? Even if you are a dragon, can you outlast a bullet? Can you outlast a missile? Hah! You're nothing but a chicken with a dragon's tail—what a joke! What a mess!" Now it was the boisterous dragon who was at a loss for words. Was he really that afraid of death? In front of those young ladies, this guy was always on the edge of panic, completely lacking the spirit of a man. But now, facing him, he seemed completely transformed—was it because his regal aura had erupted, making even this dragon, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, feel overwhelmed? "Let's talk it over. Let's talk it over. When you're angry, you hurt yourself. This isn't going to help you in the least." "Pi Zi Long cleared his throat, awkwardly smiled, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed—there was no way he could pretend to be a child anymore. If he could just free himself from Lu Yun's body, he'd never have stayed with that dangerous Magistrate for so long. 'Hey, if my manly stuff actually gets hurt, I'll just treat you like a widow!' He hadn't even remembered why he'd gotten injured in the little forest at Po Yu's waterfall cave—now he was furious, red-faced, and ready to burn off his dragon whiskers. 'Wait, you've got a sister too, and she's a four-legged snake. I'm human—what kind of cave do you think I'd want to stay in?' Lu Yun's words hit Pi Zi Long hard. But right now, Lu Yun simply couldn't afford to dwell on such matters anymore. If he couldn't figure out what exactly was inside his own body, not only would he face a constant threat from this strange guest, but even Yang Yanping—his own mother-in-law—had tried to take his life on more than one occasion. He simply had to stay vigilant!" Pishi Long sighed, unexpectedly not jumping up to shout or complain, "I do have a younger sister, but she's fallen for someone she shouldn't have. By clan regulations, even though I fought desperately to secure her hand, it all fell apart—my very life, my very essence, consumed by the sacred flame, suffering endlessly through the cycles of fate. This is my final warning: if you mention my sister again, it will be at the cost of your life. If necessary, we'll meet our end together." Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, and the subsequent harsh words he had prepared instantly stalled in his throat. Though touched by Pishi Long's heartfelt lament, Lu Yun didn't continue his scolding—yet this didn't mean the matter was settled. "You're a dragon, aren't you?" Lu Yun suddenly asked, the most natural thing to say in such a moment. Indeed, Pishi Long's deep voice replied, "Yes." "However, as soon as he spoke, Pi Zi Long realized he had been outwitted and was instantly furious. He couldn't believe it—him, a high-ranking dragon of nearly ten thousand years, had been completely unmasked by a mere young man. He had to retract his statement, had to absolutely retract it. Though his status was noble and once spoken, it was considered water spilled, still, that didn't mean every matter had to be treated with such gravity. With a chuckle, Pi Zi Long said, 'Dragon? What kind of dragon? That's something only found in legends. I'm not one of those. In fact, in legend, dragons are the most noble among all living beings...' Lu Yun stood speechless. If it were anyone else, learning that a dragon resided within him would have driven them mad. Even Lu Yun, accustomed to countless wonders, was utterly stunned, so much so that Pi Zi Long's subsequent explanations faded into mere whispers. Dragon! For goodness' sake—there truly was a dragon living within him!" It made sense that when Yang Yanping discovered she possessed the art of dual presence—seeming both present and absent—every part of her body exuded a fierce, concentrated aura of hostility. This wasn't mere irritation; it was a deep-seated resentment, year after year accumulated through persistent conditioning and mounting grievances, so potent that Lu Yun at first believed he was destined to die. Inside his very body, there lived a legendary dragon, and this dragon harbored an unbreakable enmity with the exceptionally beautiful woman beside him. Would he have to choose between them? While Lu Yun could certainly maneuver around Yang Yanping, he deeply cherished her and had intentions of incorporating her into his inner court, yet ultimately, his own life remained paramount. Moreover, he simply had no means of expelling the dragon from within him. No matter how many times you explain, in the end it all comes down to Lu Yun himself staying alert. Even if he manages to avoid Yang Yanping, this world is absolutely crazy—dragon sightings are already happening, so what’s next? With dangers appearing everywhere, Lu Yun now realizes that his path ahead will inevitably be difficult. Worse still, during intimate moments with the women, he can’t easily use his Yin-Yang expansion technique or that rather awkwardly named spell. Lu Yun furrowed his brows, suddenly feeling that he wasn’t as simple or ordinary as he once thought. Otherwise, why would this boisterous, down-to-earth dragon have chosen him specifically? Lu Yun intends to find out the details. The dragon has already subtly revealed his identity. Though Lu Yun tries to justify his own surprise, he’s not easily fooled. Right now, the most pressing question is: why has this boisterous dragon ended up inside him? The clumsy dragon ranted on for a while, only to find Lu Yun showing no reaction at all, wondering if perhaps he had been completely stunned by his barrage of complaints. Just as he was about to mock him a bit, Lu Yun suddenly asked, "When did you actually get inside me?" After carefully pondering the question, the dragon confirmed there was no mistake and then solemnly paused before slowly responding, "Right when your parents passed away." Lu Feng's unfortunate old father died then! Although at the time Lu Yun was too young to remember the event clearly, he did recall that his parents had taken him along when they went to the city, and that everyone else on the same trip had died—only he had survived, rescued by the villagers who had arrived in time. He later learned that his mother had shielded him with her own body. Hearing the dragon now say this, Lu Yun was utterly stunned—had the dragon been inside him all along, silently present for so many years, and only just now finally noticed? ...
