Dragon Girl New Chapter

Chapter 6

Will they switch?

"Yes, I know the Dragon King of the South Sea. He's willing to give up anything, except his own daughter."

They want to trade me? In exchange for what?

No wonder he was waiting for me in the South China Sea a year later; he had already planned to use me the moment he saw me.

The stone chamber suddenly fell silent, and he abruptly pushed open the door. I saw his pale face; I had seen him even less in the past month. He looked both pale and haggard. Life is always harder for someone who is constantly worrying.

I smiled at him and asked, "Didn't you go out?"

He shook his head.

I flicked my sleeves and turned around dramatically. "But I'm going out. I'm so tired of living at the bottom of the Jing River. I want to go back to the surface. The stench of this mud is almost suffocating me. I really don't understand how a dragon could live in such a place."

He stared at me coldly and replied indifferently, "You've been here for three months now. Do you think you're so noble? You're just an unchaste woman who eloped with me."

I casually made a face. "So what? Don't you know that dragons are born with a hierarchy? Even if I elope with you, I'll still be a sea dragon, while you," I deliberately looked him up and down, "you're just a river dragon, a river dragon that lives in the mud."

Reply [12]: A purple tinge slowly rose on his face, and I knew he was angered by me.

I turned to leave, deliberately ignoring his presence. The water rippled slightly, and he had already flashed in front of me in a single step.

"You're going to stop me?"

"This is the Jing River, not the South China Sea. If I don't want you to leave, you can't leave."

I glared at him with hatred. Strangely enough, I didn't truly hate him, but I had to force myself to look one of intense despair. Without hesitation, I drew my treasured sword, the one we had found together in the marketplace. That day, I had already sensed his murderous intent.

"Get out of my way. Although I am a dragon girl, you cannot disregard my supernatural powers."

He smiled slightly and drew his sword: "You want to fight me? You're too naive."

I snorted and thrust my sword at him. He easily blocked it, only defending and not attacking. I, on the other hand, only attacked and not defended, as if I wanted to kill him.

The water of the Jing River became even darker, and the silt at the bottom of the river was stirred up by our sword energy.

I attacked him relentlessly, and he grew impatient. He struck the spine of my sword with his own, and my hand went numb, causing the sword to slip from my grasp and fall to the ground.

He smiled mockingly, remaining silent, which only made me more embarrassed.

I gritted my teeth and revealed my true form: I was a white dragon, my long tail coiling towards him. He leaped into the water, also revealing his true form: he was a purple dragon.

We tumbled and rolled as we fought, his purple scales gleaming brightly in the dark river.

He wrapped his arms tightly around my body, and we both froze.

I gazed at his strong body with envy. Although I was a sea dragon, I was only a weak and defeated one, while he was different; his body was both beautiful and powerful.

I lowered my head: "Okay! I promise I won't run away, but let me get to the surface! I hate the smell of this riverbed, it's driving me crazy."

He looked at me with a hint of pity, his long tail gently brushing against my body. In that moment, I clearly felt a touch of warmth. I looked up in surprise, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He returned to human form, that indifferent human, and I also returned to human form, a woman so beautiful she didn't resemble myself.

In fact, we all wear masks and never dare to show our true faces.

He took my hand and led me to the water's surface, where I was shocked by what I saw. The river was flowing uncontrollably towards both banks, and many ordinary people were struggling and crying in the water.

He brought the flow of water to a halt, but countless corpses lay scattered along the riverbank.

"Don't resist me anymore, remember, don't resist me anymore." He never let go of my hand.

I lowered my head and remained silent, but in my heart I was thinking, "Impossible."

I, who defy even fate, how much more so a dragon?

But I still feel regret. I know my own strength now. I shouldn't have fought him in the water. I swear that I will never resort to violence again in any future resistance, because doing so usually results in mutual destruction between myself and innocent people.

He placed the lost sword back beside me, and we sat together on the high mountain, looking down at the land below.

The disheartened crowd began rebuilding their homes, and the sun shone brightly in the sky. I don't get to see the sun often; this was only the third time.

"Do you know about that mortal world? I left the seabed to find out about it, but I still don't know what it's like."

He pointed to the clouds in the sky: "Clouds are the reflection of the world in the sky. One day when you understand the clouds, you will understand the world."

Reply [13]: I always felt that his tone of voice carried a hint of helplessness and sorrow, “You are a dragon, what else are you dissatisfied with?”

He gave a cold laugh: "Actually, dragons are just as greedy as humans, always wanting to get things that don't belong to them."

"What do you want? What are you going to exchange me for?"

He glanced at me and said, "It's a pearl from the South China Sea. Pearls that can grant immortality if you eat them."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Another aquatic creature superstitious about merfolk gods. "Do you really think pearls like that exist? I've lived in the South China Sea for so long and I've never seen one."

He said calmly, "You haven't seen it because the Mermaid Goddess didn't show it to you. Without that pearl, how could she have lived for so long without ever aging?"

I was taken aback: "Are you so sure? And do you know it's a pearl?"

He didn't answer me, but instead changed the subject by asking, "Have you ever seen my father?"

I thought about it and realized I had never actually met his father. I shook my head.

He looked at the sky thoughtfully: "Actually, I've only seen him a few times, probably no more than five times!"

"Why? Where did he go?"
