"In short, it's not my fault," Gu Ran said.
Although it wasn't his fault, he still left a shadow clone to protect Su Xiaoqiang, lest any fools come looking for trouble.
The further you go in, the more desolate it becomes, with all the life around you being absorbed by the hatching cocoons.
Before long, the group arrived in front of a large, white, velvety ball.
"It's still a bit short of perfection." Zhang Daoxian looked at the callus, then cut his wrist and poured his blood onto the white ball.
The moment the red blood dripped onto the white ball, the red color immediately faded and was absorbed by the large white ball.
Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared on the huge white sphere, and a dragon claw emerged from it.
Gu Ran focused his attention on the large white sphere, knowing he couldn't afford to be careless with the dragons.
The others around them were also on high alert, knowing that slaying a dragon was no trivial matter.
At this moment, another dragon claw stretched out, and the dragon's head with its prominent horns also emerged.
In the next second, the dragon finally emerged from its cocoon, its perfect body fully revealed to everyone.
"Roar—" A dragon's roar echoed through the valley.
Gu Ran stared blankly at the dragon, then looked at his mother and asked, "Is this the second-generation species? Why does it look stunted?"
Yes, although the dragon in front of us is imposing and majestic, its body is quite small, about the size of a large mongrel.
Zhang Qiong explained, "The fetal blood has all been drained, so it doesn't have enough energy to develop its body. It's good enough that it can wake up. Moreover, it still has an embryo left, so this is actually the weakest time for it."
"So, to deal with this little thing, the entire family's elites have been mobilized? Isn't that going too far?" Gu Ran asked.
"Because they don't actually have many opportunities to see a real dragon, this is also to give the younger generation of the family a chance to train."
"What's so great about training this little thing? It's not even as strong as the second-generation species I encountered back in South Korea." Gu Ran walked up to the dragon, which bared its fangs and claws at him, its crimson-gold eyes radiating the majesty of a second-generation species.
It is obvious that it has the heart of a dragon, but its dragon power is much weaker.
Gu Ran used a chakra scalpel to cut its wing, drawing a drop of blood, and then kicked it away.
The little black dragon's body flew backward and crashed into the valley, whimpering like a pitiful puppy.
"This thing isn't even as good as the Deadpool I encountered in Japan." After kicking the little black dragon away, Gu Ran turned and walked out of the valley. "I'm not getting involved."
Just as he was about to leave, he realized that many people seemed to be stunned by Long Xiao's roar.
He then realized that a second-generation species is still a second-generation species, and the pressure brought by the crown rank would still intimidate those with insufficient bloodline.
Gu Ran had already faced the Dragon King several times, so he didn't take a small second-generation creature seriously at all, because he had already overcome his fear with courage.
But for many members of the Zhang family, this was truly the first time they had ever seen a real dragon, and their hearts trembled with fear.
Many people didn't even dare to look the little black dragon in the eye.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Ran clapped his hands and said to the young people here:
"The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. When you actually stand in front of it, you will find that dragons are not so great. Although we have their genes and our abilities are all thanks to the dragons, in any case, in the war to come, we stand on the side of humanity. We must use our willpower to overcome our awe of them. Only willpower is humanity's first-order weapon against dragons."
Actually, these young people are not young at all; most of them are around twenty to thirty years old, and many of them are older than Gu Ran.
They were all slightly taken aback when they heard Gu Ran's words, and a few of them seemed to be deep in thought.
"The final war, and the new war, are about to begin," Zhang Daoxian said to his people. "Please remember the words of the Supreme Elder, otherwise... you may not live to see the end."
The four elders of the clan exchanged glances and began to direct their clansmen to fight the black dragon one by one. They were not required to slay the dragon, but they were required to have experience fighting dragons.
At the very least, one must have the courage to look dragons in the eye.
*……*……*
The group's dragon-slaying experience didn't end until evening. To be honest, the dragon wasn't dangerous at all; it wasn't even as powerful as Xia Mi, who didn't have a dragon bone cross.
If it were Senior Brother Chu, he would have soloed the dungeon with just one sword, without even sharing the experience with anyone else.
But for someone who has never been on the battlefield, it is normal to feel fear when facing the next generation of the species for the first time.
Therefore, Gu Ran did not make fun of those people.
In the evening, while Su Xiaoqiang was having a meeting with his employees to discuss work, Gu Ran, having nothing to do, sat quietly in the courtyard to meditate, and handed over the blood samples of the next generation of the species that he had collected to the system.
[Second-generation level blood sample detected; reward distribution initiated]
[Reward: 10 Chakra Cards; Current Chakra Total: 740 Cards]
After receiving the reward, Gu Ran slowly opened his eyes and found Zhang Zhenqi standing in front of him.
"What's up?" Gu Ran asked, stretching.
"Am I not beautiful?"
"what?"
"Am I any less attractive than Su Xiaoqiang?"
Gu Ran glanced at her a few times. She was tall with long, white, and straight legs that were thinner than Su Xiaoqiang's. She had a slender waist and a large, firm chest.
She was also quite beautiful, with an oval face, big eyes, a playful look in her eyes and brows, and the air of a well-bred lady.
It can be said that Zhang Zhenqi is a rare beauty.
"There's nothing I can do about not meeting you at the right time." Gu Ran wasn't joking around; instead, he was very serious. "Feelings can't be forced."
"Why worry so much? As long as we're all happy together, that's all that matters. I've said before, I don't mind..."
"Don't be like that. Girls should take good care of themselves." Gu Ran stood up. "My heart is small, and I can only love one person. I've already fallen in love, and I can't change it."
After saying that, he had a thought and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, so that Zhang Zhenqi would not say anything else.
If you should leave, then leave; don't give her any chance to think about it.
Zhang Zhenqi stood there, her eyes filled with tears.
"But I've fallen in love with it too, what can I do?"
……
"Alas, I once whipped my famous horse while drunk, now I fear my love will burden my beauty!" Gu Ran teleported to Su Xiaoqiang's bedroom, picked up the platinum butterfly hair ornament, and gently shook it.
"So who have you been having an affair with this time?" Su Xiaoqiang's voice came from the bathroom, along with the sound of water in the bathtub.
"I have no romantic feelings for you, I'm only devoted to you!" Gu Ran shouted to the person in the bathroom, "I will never regret growing thinner and thinner for you!"
As she spoke, Gu Ran took off her clothes and opened the bathroom door.
"My beauty, I'm here!"
Su Xiaoqiang instinctively covered her chest with both hands, and when she saw him come in so ostentatiously, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Virtue!"
"Who cares what kind of person he is, come and play in the water, my wife!"
"You, you need to wash yourself before you come in, ah!"
"I'll wash it later, it'll get dirty anyway!"
"You...you bad guy!"
In an instant, the sound of phoenix flutes filled the air, the jade pot shone brightly, and fish and dragons danced all night.
*……*……*
Two days later, Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang returned to Shanghai.
That morning, the two of them were at Hongqiao Airport, waiting for a guest to arrive.
Soon, a flight attendant walked towards them, holding a little girl's hand.
"Brother Ran, Sister Xiaoqiang!" When Xiaolianhua saw the two of them, she immediately broke free from the flight attendant's hand and ran towards them.
The child was full of energy and ran around recklessly. Gu Ran was afraid that she would bump into someone, so he took two steps forward, picked her up, and spun her around twice in the air!
"Hahahaha!" Little Lianhua let out a clear laugh, her voice tender and refreshing, which put the surrounding passengers in a good mood.
Su Xiaoqiang stepped forward, first patting Xiaolianhua's head as a greeting, and then thanking the flight attendant.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do," the flight attendant said politely before leaving.
The flight attendant initially wanted to chat with Gu Ran because he was quite handsome, but upon seeing Su Xiaoqiang's appearance, she discreetly left to avoid making a fool of herself.
As a service worker, I'm very good at reading people's expressions.
"Sister, I brought you a gift!" Xiao Lianhua started rummaging through her backpack and found an iron box, which she gave to Su Xiaoqiang.
"What is it?" Su Xiaoqiang asked as she unwrapped the gift.
It turned out to be a glass flower.
"It's so beautiful, did you burn it yourself?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"My sister helped me burn it!" Xiao Lianhua said with a smile.
Gu Ran squatted down and patted her head: "What about me?"
“I’ve been protecting the legendary sword for you in the village, so you should be giving me a gift!” Lianhua said to Gu Ran matter-of-factly.
"Wow, you're even protecting the legendary sword!" Gu Ran laughed, taking her little hand and walking towards the airport exit, asking as they went, "Are there many people trying to steal the legendary sword?"
"My second sister often snatches that sword to play with and tease me, and my eldest sister sometimes uses it to dry her shoes. Actually, no one would snatch it; it's just a broken, withered branch, who would want it!" Lianhua complained maturely.
Chapter 556 The War of the New Dragon Clan
Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated: "I'm not used to you suddenly being so mature."
After the three of them left the airport, Gu Ran drove them to the top-floor clubhouse to meet Nuwa.
"Greetings, Nuwa!" Upon seeing Nuwa, Xiaolianhua respectfully bowed and paid her respects.
"Good girl." Nuwa reached out her little hand and patted Little Lotus's head.
Gu Ran watched from the side. Nuwa looked to be only the age of a first-year junior high school girl. It was quite amusing to see the two children greeting her.
"Do you like sweets?" Nuwa asked, pinching the child's cheek.
"I love ice cream!" Xiao Lianhua said happily.
“Alright,” Nuwa glanced at Lü Xue’er beside her, “Have the kitchen make her an extra-large parfait.”
