His Spirit Abyss Realm mental force improved a bit more.
Arthur's expression softened.
Fine.
He sat back on the dragon bone resentfully, watching Yue munching on a Dragon Crystal with great joy, and asked, "Is there only you, a Dragon King, in this Dragon Valley? What about the others?"
Yue replied indistinctly while holding the Dragon Crystal in his mouth, his dragon tail carelessly tapping the pile of rubble beneath him. "How could there be only me?"
He raised a claw and pointed towards the depths of the valley's center, a rock-yellow halo rippling out from his claw. "Go that way; there are still the remnant souls of the Earth Dragon King and the Wind Dragon King guarding the Old Ancestor's remains. The Water Dragon King was the proudest; back then, he fought until his Soul Flew Away and Spirit Scattered, not even leaving a remnant soul behind, only a dragon scale sinking into the cold pond at the bottom of the valley."
"I don't know where his dragon bone fell."
As he spoke, he crunched down another piece of Dragon Crystal, light splashing between his teeth. "The Fire Dragon King is in a similar situation; it was actually he who brought back the Water Dragon King's scale."
"His dragon soul was badly shattered and scattered within the lava at the bottom of the valley. Usually, it looks no different from ordinary flames."
"And many, many more."
Yue suddenly tilted his head. "But they all have very cold temperaments and won't come out."
"Unlike me, I can't stand the loneliness. I was already planning to leave, and I just happened to run into you guys."
Arthur gave an 'oh' and looked in the direction Yue pointed; the depths of the valley's center were shrouded in mist.
He could vaguely see several sections of dragon bone remains even larger than mountains, quietly lurking in the shadows, exuding a desolation that had been silent for ages.
Feeling the familiar aura from Yue, Arthur couldn't help but ask, "How do you plan to get out?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Yue's dark gold vertical pupils. "Hmph, hmph."
"I've already picked a candidate. A kid named Long Yue accidentally stumbled in here before."
"I saw that his name was the same as mine, so I gave him the Mountain Dragon King Spirit."
"That kid has good potential, and his Bloodline even carries a faint trace of Dragon Clan aura." Yue wagged his tail proudly, the rock-yellow halo on his dragon horns flickering. "I left a mark in his Spirit, thinking that once he grew up, I'd work with him from the inside and outside to tear open the Dragon Valley Seal."
Arthur's eyelid twitched as he heard this. "So you've already set everything up?"
"Otherwise?"
"Guarding this wretched place for hundreds of thousands of years, if I don't go out for some fresh air soon, my dragon soul is going to get moldy."
He raised a claw and pointed to the gold and silver light screen in mid-air, his tone carrying a bit of anticipation. "But now that there are two Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, it saves a lot of trouble."
"When the time comes, I'll follow you guys and walk right out."
After chatting for so long, Arthur asked the question he cared about most: "If you leave, what about your bone?"
Yue: "Hmm?"
Seeing the glint in Arthur's eyes, Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, no longer calling him 'Mistress'. "Kid, I suspect you're thinking about something very bad."
Arthur coughed twice, his eyes drifting towards the pile of dragon bones behind Yue. "Nothing, nothing. I just suddenly felt that such good dragon bones would be a waste to leave here."
Yue's fur immediately stood on end, and he swung his dragon tail at Arthur's back, his dark gold scales glowing with anger. "You brat, you're eyeing my bones?! Believe it or not, I'll blast you to death with a mouthful of dragon fire!"
Arthur nimbly jumped away and waved his hand with a smile. "Don't get angry, how about this."
In the original story, Tang Wulin spent a thousand days burying the dragons and received the gratitude of the dragon souls, along with the mountain dragon king torso bone.
Arthur could have done the same, but he felt that doing so would be too hypocritical.
After all, he didn't have any empathy for the Dragon Clan.
So he spoke plainly, turning it into a deal: "I'll help you bury these bones so the Dragon Clan's remains don't have to be exposed in this desolate valley anymore."
"Give me your bone in return, how about it?"
"Bury them?" he repeated softly, his dragon tail unconsciously sweeping over the shattered dragon bones beneath him. "Kid, do you know how many Spirit Bones are in this Dragon Valley?"
"It will take a lot of your time."
"Besides, why shouldn't I wait for the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings to wake up and have them help?"
Upon hearing this, Arthur slowly strolled over to a nearby dragon bone remnant and sat down. "It won't take much time."
"And if you know to ask them for help, don't I?"
"I could also just ask them to give me a bone directly. Could you refuse?"
Yue's dragon pupils suddenly constricted, the rock-yellow halo around him exploding outward. His dragon tail slammed into the ground, sending rubble flying. "You dare!"
Separately, the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings were only on the same level as him and couldn't command him. But now, with the two Dragon Kings who had obtained the Dragon God's Legacy commanding together, it was equivalent to the Dragon God's command.
"Why would the new Dragon God listen to a human like you?"
Yue's roar was somewhat blustering, but the rock-yellow halo on his dragon horns flickered slightly, showing he wasn't so certain.
"Eh, you're really forgetful." Arthur sneered, tapping his forehead with his fingertip. The colorful light spot in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly lit up.
A faint colorful glow spilled from his forehead, faintly resonating with the aura of the gold and silver light screen in mid-air.
Arthur said sarcastically and in a very irritating manner, "You were just calling me Mistress, and you forgot already."
When it comes to abusing authority, Arthur is a professional!
"And..."
Arthur leaned forward slightly and uttered a devilish whisper, "Yue, you wouldn't want me to whisper bad things about you into the new Dragon God's ear, would you?"
Yue: "?"
Yue's dragon soul suddenly froze, his dark gold vertical pupils widening instantly as if he had heard some incredible tall tale. Even the rock-yellow halo on his dragon horns stalled for a moment.
For the first time, a Dragon King of this World felt the shock of the island culture from another World.
"You... what did you say?" His voice cracked with a hint of unbelievable shock, his dragon tail unconsciously curling into a ball. "Wh-whispering bad things into their ears? You brat, have you no shame!"
A loud boom came from the gold and silver light screen in the center of the valley, and an even more majestic Dragon God pressure swept over. Yue's soul body was pressed down slightly, and his expression became even more unsightly.
Yue gritted his teeth hard, his dark gold vertical pupils churning with anger and grievance.
After a long while, he finally let out a low growl that seemed squeezed through his teeth. "I promise you! But if you really dare to talk nonsense in front of the two Lords, even if my Soul Flies Away and Spirit Scatters, I'll take you down with me!"
"You won't regret this choice."
Arthur patted the dust off his pants and stood up.
In an instant, he soared into the air, heading straight for the sky. With the help of the colorful light spot, he had long since ceased to be suppressed by the Dragon Valley.
He unleashed a thick and majestic spirit power.
A colorful glow surged from around Arthur, lifting him even higher.
His mental force intertwined with the power of the colorful light spot, forcefully tearing through the thick mist above the Dragon Valley to reveal a clear light screen.
He transformed into a beam of light.
At this moment, the sky of Dragon Valley lit up.
