Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1021: Traveling Through the Human World Chapter 1017: Chapter 1021: Traveling Through the Human World Meng Bingci felt a hint of bitterness and helplessness as she spoke these words.

As a mother, she had to tell Zhu Minglang these things, that her own younger sister couldn’t be completely trusted, but rather it was her enemy, Zhu Xuehen, whom Meng Bingci believed would not harm Zhu Minglang.

“Besides this matter, she is your relative,” Meng Bingci added.

Although this statement sounded a bit odd, Zhu Minglang knew how to differentiate.

Many relatives, as long as the ancestral inheritance wasn’t brought up, indeed seemed genuinely close; but once it was, they became no different from enemies.

“Okay, then I can still learn swordsmanship from her,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yes.”

“Can I ask her to beat someone up for me?”

“That depends on her mood.”

“What if it’s Hua Chou?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“You need to be close enough to her.”

“Oh, okay.”

…
Having stayed with Meng Bingci in the eternally chilly White Frost Palace, where the mountain peaks were constantly covered in snow and even the tiles on the palace roofs were frosted over all morning.

It wasn’t too far from Yuhan Palace. Indeed, from a spot where the view opened wide, one could gaze upon the Yuheng Star Maiden, resembling an innocent, romantic girl counting stars. She sat on the edge of the Star Pavilion, her long legs of pale skin swinging.

Zhu Minglang was learning the Heavenly Level Sword Technique from Yuheng, and on the frost-covered Sky Sword Platform, if Zhu Minglang made even a slight error, the Yuheng Star Goddess would yell from a great distance, “Silly little brother!”

It was quite peculiar.

The Seven Great Star Gods were usually as elusive as dragons that show their heads but not their tails.

Take Xuan Ge, who had just been promoted to Star God. To Zhu Minglang, Xuan Ge seemed incredibly busy, as if endlessly preoccupied with concerns.

But the Yuheng Star Goddess seemed idle to Zhu Minglang.

So idle it appeared she had nothing to do. Whenever Zhu Minglang practiced his sword, she would watch, like a little sister confined in a large courtyard with nothing better to do than sit on a stool and naively watch her brother practice.

“Why aren’t you practicing anymore?”

Just as Zhu Minglang put down his sword, he heard a urging voice from afar.

“My main job is as a Dragon Shepherd; constantly practicing the sword is neglecting my duties. Besides, the sword can practice on its own; it doesn’t need me to be there.” Zhu Minglang said this and casually tossed the Sword Spirit Dragon into the air.

The Sword Spirit Dragon traced strong, smooth sword marks in midair, flawlessly performing a set of Ground Level Sword Technique moves, strictly following the technique without any errors.

“Then let’s go have fun in Fairy City. A lot of divine ministers are coming to present offerings recently; how about we disguise ourselves and tease them?”

Her voice suddenly appeared behind Zhu Minglang, startling him as she was very close.

He turned around and saw the Yuheng Star Maiden’s large eyes twinkling excitedly.

“Do you often do this?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Traveling alone in the mortal realm can be very dull, and it’s always hard to blend in. Besides, I have only a few close people, with Ling’er not around and your mother thinking such behavior is childish, it just so happens that you can accompany me around,” the Yuheng Star Maiden said, her hands behind her back, youthful and cute like a young girl.

“Alright,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Agreed?” the Yuheng Star Maiden asked.

“Of course, it’s my honor to accompany my aunt on a stroll through the mortal realm,” Zhu Minglang flattered.

“Such sweet talk, I’ll forgive you then for these days of stealing the Spiritual Energy of Yuheng Star Palace,” the Yuheng Star Maiden laughed.

Zhu Minglang froze for a moment before managing an awkward laugh as well.

He had been found out!

These days, Zhu Minglang had found a geomantic treasure, using the Spiritual Energy Water Wheel and the Spirit Glowing Dragon to wildly plunder the spiritual energy from Yuheng Sacred Mountain. He thought the Building Dragon Sect’s secret method would be hard to detect in the process of operation, but he was exposed by God Yuheng while only halfway through the implementation.

This geomantic treasure was actually the vine bridge between Yuhan Palace and White Frost Palace. In Zhu Minglang’s view, a deity of God Yuheng’s stature surely wouldn’t miss this bit of Spiritual Rhyme, and thus he stealthily snatched the pure Spiritual Energy swirling near Yuhan Palace.

This pure Spiritual Energy had allowed Bai Qi’s cultivation base to make a breakthrough, making him more audacious. Perhaps, it might even help Bai Qi ascend to the status of a God principal through this wave of energy plundering.

“Make sister happy, and sister will take you to a better place where the Spiritual Energy is even purer!” God Yuheng said.

“No problem!”

“I’ll change my clothes.”

“I’ll wait right here.”

God Yuheng was amused by Zhu Minglang’s self-proclaimed “respectful nephew” and left the sword platform of White Frost Palace with a laugh, floating towards her own Yuhan Palace.

…
God Yuheng really was on a secret inspection visit.

Her outfit…

Zhu Minglang found it hard to describe.

If she had pulled her hair into twin tails like Lou Qian, Zhu Minglang would clearly be like taking a flower-like young girl shopping.

“Is there something amiss?” asked God Yuheng.

“Very good, very good,” Zhu Minglang replied with a bitter smile.

“It looks too youthful? Should I dress more maturely? Give me a moment,” said God Yuheng, disappearing on the spot before Zhu Minglang could even reply.

“…”
After a long while, God Yuheng reappeared. This time, she wore an exotic, beautiful garment featuring an orchid-purple waist ribbon wrapped tightly around her slender waist, which made her shapely figure somewhat visible, showcasing her graceful posture even more vividly.

“How about this?” God Yuheng asked.

“Although it fits the aura of an elder better, isn’t this attire a bit too bold, lacking the grace and elegance befitting a Yuheng Star goddess?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Is it a bit too enchanting?”

“Just a tad, purely the issue with the clothes, not related to your inherently pure and noble essence.”

“Good, I like it.”

“…”
Could it be that God Yuheng had missed some crucial stage in her growth, how could she perfectly switch between girl and woman? It’s not just about the attire; her temperament and aura were also transforming.

…
Zhu Minglang bravely took the enchantingly dressed God Yuheng down the mountain.

During this descent, Zhu Minglang was deeply afraid of running into the True Gods of the Yuheng Star Palace.

Truly a bit unpredictable.

With God Yuheng’s bizarre temperament, he should probably introduce her to Nan Yu Suo, felt like they could become sworn sisters!

“Stop!”

Just as Zhu Minglang was about to step out of the mountain gate of Yuheng Star Palace, a voice came from behind.

Zhu Minglang turned back to see Sikong Cheng and Sikong Yuan with a blue sand mole on their foreheads.

They both looked fierce, clearly not intending to let Zhu Minglang leave easily.

Zhu Minglang raised his eyebrows toward God Yuheng beside him, signaling her.

God Yuheng adopted an indifferent attitude and said, “Wearing this outfit, I am just a worldly woman. You cannot rely on me being a Yuheng Star to intervene in everything, as that would lose the sense of immersion and authenticity of traveling.”

“I’m just worried you might find me heavy-handed, since they are your people.”

“There are so many idlers in Yuheng Star Palace, losing one or two won’t matter to anyone.”
