Chapter 1455 Seeing that Lu Yun had fallen asleep, Lei Zi realized he would have to skip his morning class and lay down as well, though he couldn’t settle into a deep sleep. With his eyes closed, he kept his ears alert to any sounds from Lu Yun’s side. "Worthy Dragon, worthy Dragon, come out and show yourself!" Lu Yun continuously summoned him with his mind. "What's the point of calling me that? My ears aren't deaf!" The Worthy Dragon was awakened by Lu Yun's voice and seemed deeply annoyed, his tone full of irritation. "What exactly happened last night with that patch of black light on my body?" Lu Yun asked directly. "Black light?" The Worthy Dragon paused, then gave a perfunctory reply, "What black light? I haven't the slightest idea." "Don't lie to me! You fought that black light all night long—how can you claim not to know its origin?" Lu Yun nearly shouted. With all this going on, Lu Yun’s life was hanging by a thread, and yet this four-legged snake still dared to brush it off. The humble dragon chuckled, "What matters is that as long as Dragon Grandmaster is here, your life will be safe. Anything else, just don't ask—tell me, and you'll be scared half to death. " "Stuff and nonsense! Last night, in my dream, my life was on the line—how dare you boast about being able to protect me? Are you even blushing? And don't forget, you yourself struggled against that black glow—almost overwhelmed, pressed down until it spread all over me." Lü Yun chuckled in return, "I'll tell you this: if you can't beat them, just say so. If that happens, I'll simply find a bottle of pesticide and drink it down—done and done. Then, you, the most handsome dragon in the sky and on the earth, will have to follow me into the afterlife as well." "Upon hearing this, the humble dragon jumped up, furious, shouting, 'You little scamp! Last night, I spent hours saving your life—your ingratitude is beyond comprehension. Now you dare to criticize me? You... you go ahead and be buried with me. I'm truly cursed—having to settle for a body so clumsy and ungrateful as yours!' The dragon seemed genuinely stirred by Lu Yun's words, roaring wildly and hysterically. "The four-legged snake, what exactly do you mean by 'the Lord of Magic'?" Lu Yun asked. "Uh... When did the Dragon Lord ever mention 'Lord of Magic'? You must have been knocked out cold last night—did you mishear? Did you mishear?..." The humble dragon seemed aware of his slip and hurriedly covered up. Yet the more the humble dragon stammered, the more Lu Yun was convinced that the 'Lord of Magic' he spoke of was indeed connected to the dark glow described by Lei. "Four-legged snake, you still want to hide it now. What's going on with those two glows—one blue and one black—on my body? The blue one is yours. The black one—that's the 'Lord of Magic' you mentioned, isn't it?" Lu Yun declared firmly. "We're on the same team, you know. If there's another entity inside me, you'd better tell me right away. Otherwise, one day I might just snap under the pressure and shock, and suddenly realize my own fate. Then you'll be in trouble too." The Humble Dragon remained silent for a long time. Lu Yun grew increasingly anxious—this was a matter of his very life, and no room for error was allowed. Even if there truly existed another powerful creature within him, he needed to know what it was. Suddenly, Lu Yun felt utterly unfamiliar with his own body—how utterly ridiculous was that? "Speak up!" he barked impatiently. He had asked so many questions precisely because he didn't know what kind of monster lay hidden within him. Over time, under the weight of his constant speculations, he might very well lose his mind. The Humble Dragon emitted a soft sigh, though still silent for now, and clearly there was some response. Lu Yun focused intently, waiting for the Humble Dragon to finally unravel the mystery. After a while, the reserved dragon finally heaved a heavy sigh, saying, "You always talk about how you're a young man—just let the dragon take care of your love interests. The dragon will naturally protect your life. What's there to ask about?" He waited for a long time, only to hear a series of bland, unremarkable remarks, and immediately, Lu Yun exploded, "Can you just get to the point? You've already driven me to the brink of death with your endless chatter—how about the black light and the Emperor of Magic?" The reserved dragon sighed reluctantly, "Alright, then. I'll tell you the truth. But I won't tell you much—because right now, you're not strong enough. Knowing too much will only add pressure to you, rather than help." Lu Yun nodded, saying, "I just want to know if there's another terrifying creature still living inside me." "The dragon isn't a monster at all—he's a powerful, elegant five-clawed green dragon, plain and unremarkable in his charm." "The Plump Dragon muttered discontentedly, finally turning to the main point and speaking slowly, 'You were right. The dark glow that appeared on you last night—yes, that was indeed the Demon Sovereign I inadvertently mentioned.' Though he had anticipated this, Land Yun was still stunned upon hearing the Plump Dragon's confirmation, and quickly asked, 'So, that means the Demon Sovereign is still residing within me?' The Plump Dragon nodded, then said nothing further. 'How did he enter my body? Did he enter just like you did?' Land Yun was eager to know all the details. 'Was that little ancient figure he created? If he's already inside me, then why is he still treating me poorly?' Could it be that you're not afraid I might not withstand the strain and pass away, affecting him as well? Facing Lu Yun's series of questions, the humble dragon grew silent, giving a light scoff. "We've agreed upon this, haven't we? I only told you what lies within my body—I never promised to reveal much more. When you grow strong enough, the dragon will naturally share everything with you. Hehe, perhaps then I'll be able to step free from this frail body of yours and soar once again through the nine heavens, roaming the skies to seek out my dragon sister. Hahahaha..." As he spoke, the humble dragon burst into an unapologetically arrogant laugh, completely oblivious to the immense suffering and strain Lu Yun was enduring at that very moment. Truly, this four-legged serpent is a paragon of self-centered existence.
