Chapter 470 - 360: First Encounter

The dragon power surged and the runes which should have long since disappeared reemerged all over Suolin’s body. Accompanying the turbulent dragon power, those silent primordial substances initiated another evolution. They were desperately absorbing Suolin’s dragon power, integrating themselves into Suolin’s body. The formidable steel armor reemerged from her body once again, but this time, Suolin didn’t control them and let the armor grow freely. To her surprise, when the growth of these heavy metal armors was complete, they all fell off, and her body became flawless again!

But, this was not the end!

Her body started to become unstable, her skin changing colors, a huge metal armor appearing and disappearing suddenly!

And behind her, two bulges rose sharply!

Damn it! I’m turning into a dragon!

Yes, Suolin’s body originally belonged to a chameleon, forcibly fixed into a human image by magic. She replaced her heart with that of the Black Dragon, and this obtained the complete primordial substance of the Iron Dragon’s egg. Under the magic of Dragon Blood Reincarnation, Suolin was about to break free of the spell and regain her dragon form again!

"Brother Long! Please help me!" Suolin called out anxiously in her heart. At this moment, Long Yi was lost in inexplicable joy, even his work movements became somewhat frivolous. Suddenly hearing Suolin’s call, he sobered up instantly.

The entrance to the basement was in the backyard, Long Yi directly rushed down, only to see Suolin had already collapsed on the ground, her body constantly changing.

"You restarted the Dragon Blood Reincarnation?" Long Yi asked.

"Yes."

"Stupid, Dragon Blood Reincarnation needs to be guided!" Long Yi exclaimed. The reason why Long Yi was able to successfully cast Dragon Blood Reincarnation was because he had been guiding it with the power of the Giant throughout the entire process! Without the power of the Giant, Dragon Blood Reincarnation would invariably evolve in an uncontrollable direction!

Long Yi couldn’t care less now, he pressed his hand firmly on Suolin’s chest and forcefully injected the surging power of the Giant into Suolin’s heart. At the same time, Suolin’s body instantly calmed down.

"Now listen to me, don’t suppress your transformation, let your body change on its own!" Long Yi said.

"But... I don’t want to become a dragon!" Suolin was still hesitating.

"Trust me!"

These three words were more effective than anything else. Suolin immediately abandoned control over her body and let the Dragon Blood Reincarnation take over everything. Her body was slowly lifted by the tremendous dragon power. In front of Long Yi, her body started to transform, wings grew from her back, eyes grew on her head, which at the same time, split open into a large mouth. Her hands turned into dragon claws, and a huge tail extended out.

In the blink of an eye, Suolin had transformed into a three-meter-long black dragon in front of Long Yi! With huge wings, she appeared to be a Black Dragon; but her entire body was enveloped in sturdy and heavy steel armor, like an Iron Dragon; however, her slender figure made her look more like a chameleon.

"I... I actually turned into this..." Suolin looked at herself in the mirror from a distance, muttering. At this moment, she felt as if all the bindings on her body had been liberated, and a torrent of power was being transported from her heart to her entire body! Moreover, she didn’t have the feeling of the Dragon Clan, unable to cast magic at all, it seemed that Fighting Aura and Magic were both easily accessible.

But Suolin didn’t show a bit of excitement.

"Don’t rush, it’s not over yet!" Long Yi said.

At this moment, Suolin started to transform again. Her tail and wings slowly retracted, the heavy armor on her body melted away, and in a few seconds, she recovered her human form again!

"Now, how do you feel?" Long Yi asked with a smile.

"For the first time, I feel that being a human being is so wonderful." Suolin muttered.

The sudden change had nearly exhausted Long Yi, as it happened so unexpectedly that his Giant Power had been almost completely consumed. But the final result was undoubtedly good.

Dragon Blood Reincarnation brought a complete integration of the body, and she was finally able to completely unleash the power of this body. However, Suolin still only possessed six Dragon Marks. Because Suolin was now Long Yi’s contract dragon, and also a servant, her personal power was suppressed to six Dragon Marks.

But Suolin didn’t feel frustrated because she had finally gained complete control over this body.

The pair of short boots by the bed turned melting white liquid flew to Suolin’s hand, Suolin pulled each end, amazingly separating the liquid into two balls. After the smaller ball separated, it turned back into the shape of a mask again. The other ball, colored black by the dragon power, melted into Suolin’s body.

Suolin walked to Long Yi, holding the mask in her hand, looking at him from the bottom up.

"Brother Long, can you help me again?"

Long Yi nodded, the crystal core that had been taken out before was reinserted, Suolin wore the mask, and the white liquid covered her entire head, but only a mouth floated on it.

Liquid metal seeped out from under her feet, solidified into high heels, making Suolin’s line of sight meet Long Yi’s lips. Then Suolin suddenly stretched out her hand, cradling Long Yi’s face.

"I no longer need a pretend face, but, I need this. I love you, Brother Long."

All of a sudden, Suolin disappeared before Long Yi, and then a pair of soft and tender lips were imprinted on Long Yi’s lips.

Long Yi was startled, and quickly grasped Suolin’s shoulders, while at the same time, Suolin jumped out.

"You this is..." Long Yi looked at the slight fluctuation in the air, his face full of confusion.

"I... I like you... Even though you said that I have a special sense of beauty, I know that I am ugly, so... I turned invisible..."

Long Yi was utterly bewildered. What a good day it was! Good things were pouring in from all directions?

"First, I truly don’t think you’re ugly," said Long Yi.

"Secondly, although I’m delighted you’re fond of me, I honestly can’t figure out why you’d fall for me."

"Lastly, could you stop being invisible? Talking to thin air feels strange."

Suolin quietly appeared. She seemed unchanged, except for the shocked expression gagged on her face under the white mask.

Seeing Suolin’s current state, everything suddenly fell into place for Long Yi.

So, this was our first meeting.

When Ai Lin and Little Zi rushed over feeling the fluctuation of Dragon Power, their faces were stricken with surprise.

It was clear that, apart from her color and figure, Suolin now bore no difference from the Fine Gold Golem!

Ai Lin took a brief look at Long Yi. Long Yi nodded subtly, indicating his awareness.

Originally, some very strange sounds emanated from the Fine Gold Golem, like ’timeline’, ’time node’, and so on. Long Yi didn’t understand at the time, but after encountering the giant girl in the Lava World, he finally comprehended that time travel was indeed possible. Undoubtedly, that Fine Gold Golem was a time-traveler.

Suolin, who now resembled the Fine Gold Golem by almost 90%, couldn’t possibly bear no relation to it, Long Yi was sure of it.

Just now — forget it. Even if you ask Suolin, she certainly wouldn’t know either.

Suolin soon realized that nearly everyone was focused on her mouth. Consequently, the shocked little mouth disappeared swiftly.

That night, Long Yi tossed and turned in his sleep.

The day’s thrilling events kept him on edge even now.

In his half-awake state, Long Yi dreamed about Ai Lin, Little Zi, and Elsa.

He hadn’t seen Elsa for a while. Her beauty and her figure were becoming increasingly breathtaking.

Wait! This was just a dream!

If it was a dream, then no one would know what he’d done in it...

[—]

Suolin’s subtle transformation didn’t disturb the little villa’s tranquility. Naturally, Long Yi didn’t tell anyone about that kiss either. The powerful Suolin could freely transform between the dragon form and human form. Dragon Suolin possessed high-speed flying ability, could spray Dragon Breath, use magic and Fighting Aura, and had maximum defense power. Meanwhile, Human Suolin had extremely strong invisibility; she could shield most of her thermal radiation, to the point where even Dragon Clan couldn’t easily detect her.

Only, the increased heel height of her shoes took her a couple of days to get used to, especially on the grass, where the thin heels would always sink into the soft soil.

Until Long Yi told her, "You can thicken the heels of your shoes."

It was then that Suolin finally realized it.

In the twinkling of an eye, New Year’s Eve was upon them.

The royal banquet continued in tradition. However, unlike in previous years, the banquet would only last until 11 p.m. Afterwards, the Emperor would give a New Year’s Eve speech with the ministers in the city square, to review the past and look at the future.

This caused quite a stir throughout the Imperial City.

A New Year’s Eve speech by the Emperor, celebrating with the citizens! This was an unprecedented event in the whole world!

Naturally, security was of paramount importance.

Armored warriors had already lined up all around. Two hundred Dragon Knights from the First Dragon Rider Legion were stationed at various high points around the square. All Mount Dragons were in combat status, and any Dragon Rider in the Imperial City for the New Year holidays was considered standby and responsible for reinforcement in a key moment. Countless agents were also scattered in the crowd, keeping an eye out for any abnormalities.

At the moment, the three holiday-goers were walking around the crowd, their faces full of disgruntlement.

Wesley, the Chef, and Mosquito were quite lucky. Although they hadn’t been in the military for long, their squad was scheduled for leave of absence. Thus, to the envy of others, the three of them returned to the Imperial City.

Three days off for the New Year, today was the first day. In the afternoon, just after their arrival and before the seat got warm, they were keen on blowing their own trumpet about their latest achievements to Long Yi in his villa, but at noon, they got drafted to keep order on the square. That evening, they casually nibbled on some dry rations, which, in any case, was quite frustrating.

Especially for Wesley, whose Observation Technique had reached a high realm and was given important tasks in dire times.

Luckily, although the three men were disgruntled, they faithfully discharged their duties. After all, this is the basic morality of a soldier. (To be continued.
