Unexpected...
It was truly a pleasant surprise.
"Is this finally enough?" The Dragon Monarch spoke weakly; the ease after pain was delightful, but the exhaustion was real. Now, with the spine growing, the itch made it want to tear its flesh and scratch.
Liang Qu said seriously, "It's enough, thank you Dragon Monarch. When the Fourth Immortal comes again, I want to lie down before the Dragon Monarch!"
"Alright, you should hurry and go, it might come out any day. Oh, and leave the girl here, freeze me again; the itch is just unbearable."
"Dragon Monarch, there's still one thing missing."
"There's more?!" The Dragon Monarch glared.
"The Essence Blood," Liang Qu reminded, "I stored it with you before, it was originally mine."
The Dragon Monarch paused, remembering, and its tooth ached.
