Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 138 Dragon Travels the World (7)

The man watched the Dragon Gate gradually disappear, his eyes filled with nostalgia and regret: "Even if the Dragon Gate wasn't only open for one day, they wouldn't have had any more chances."

The man then changed the subject, saying, "But even if the fish ultimately fail to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into dragons, it is still a very difficult thing for them to safely reach the Dragon Transformation Pool. Although they cannot completely change their fate, they have at least changed half of it."

"What do you mean by 'half'?" Although she had some guesses in her mind, Dong Xiaoli still wanted to hear the real answer.

“The carp spirits who swim their entire lives to the Dragon Transformation Pool, if they fail to transform into dragons, have only one fate.” The man shook his head again and said, “But death is not the final point. They will be born with their memories and set off again towards the same goal. Only this time… they are just bystanders and assistants.”

"Li Xiaoyu, can I seize this opportunity?" the man asked hopefully, looking up at Dong Xiaoli in the air.

Dong Xiaoli lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "My name is Dong Xiaoli."

"Thank you, Dong Xiaoli." The man knew that Dong Xiaoli acknowledged his following, so he said earnestly, "My master."

Dong Xiaoli simply smiled faintly, waved her sleeve, and a cloud rose from beneath the man's feet, carrying him to Dong Xiaoli's side.

As the saying goes, "The wind follows the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon." Controlling clouds and rain is the dragon's instinct.

"Host, why did you accept him?" Yingying asked, somewhat puzzled.

Dong Xiaoli smiled slightly and replied, "I still need a helper. This is a world full of myths, and being alone isn't necessarily a good thing."

Yingying thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "[Shall we transmit the plot now?]"

"Yes." Dong Xiaoli did not hesitate at all. Her mental strength was now 50, while the original body's demigod mental strength was 80. She thought that it would not be a big problem to accept the plot while flying.

After receiving the plot, Dong Xiaoli didn't say much to Yingying. While riding the clouds to find a place to stay, she pondered how to proceed.

Dong Xiaoli glanced at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye, feeling fortunate that she had taken on a follower; otherwise, the road ahead might not be so easy.

Don't ask Dong Xiaoli why she didn't go to the Dragon Palace.

Don't forget that Dong Xiaoli is merely a demigod-like dragon, not a true divine dragon.

Although leaping over the Dragon Gate is the only way to become a dragon, to become a true divine dragon, simply leaping over the Dragon Gate and undergoing the baptism of lightning is far from enough.

The dragon that leaps over the Dragon Gate is merely the lowest-ranking jiaolong (蛟龙). The difference between a jiaolong and a divine dragon lies in the dragon pearl and dragon horns.

After cultivating and obtaining the Dragon Pearl, the dragon will undergo the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. If it successfully passes the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, it will grow dragon horns and transform into a true divine dragon.

Only then will they be qualified to enter the Dragon Palace, receive the divine dragon's inheritance, and go to the Heavenly Palace to receive their rewards.

Dong Xiaoli led the man to a canyon where peach blossoms bloomed, grass grew tall and birds sang, and the scenery was delightful.

"Now that you've chosen to follow me, how should I address you?" Dong Xiaoli asked calmly.

The man bowed and said, "My name is Liu Menglong, Master."

Dreaming of becoming a dragon. Dong Xiaoli nodded and said, "Originally, I should have gone into seclusion to cultivate like other dragons, striving to obtain the Dragon Pearl as soon as possible. But Wu Yi and I both have worldly ties to sever."

"Originally, I was supposed to go with Wu Yi to repay the debt of gratitude after I transformed into a dragon, but..."

"Since Menglong has followed his master, he will naturally go with his master to sever his worldly ties."

“Alright, wait for me here. I’ll go find Wu Yi now to find out the whole story of this karmic connection.” Dong Xiaoli levitated into the air: “I will take you with me then.”

"Farewell, Master."

Dong Xiaoli's claim that she was going to find Wu Yi was obviously a lie; she had just landed near a small village. Dong Xiaoli sat atop a large, lush tree, looking at the village in the distance.

If it were Li Xiaoyu, she naturally wouldn't remember this karmic connection; she could only sense the karmic ties binding her, but wouldn't know its origin. After all, before transforming into a dragon, she was just a fish with only three seconds of memory.

But Dong Xiaoli did know, because she had the memories transmitted by the system.

[Host, aren't you going to find Wu Yi?]

"What do you want with him?" Dong Xiaoli said with a somewhat cold smile, "Yingying, don't you understand? Some paths are chosen by ourselves. No matter the outcome, whether we cry or laugh, once a choice is made, there is no turning back."

Even if the road ahead is full of obstacles?

Even if the road ahead is full of obstacles.

Even if there is utter destruction ahead?

Even if there is no hope of redemption ahead.

Even if everyone turns against you and abandons you?

Dong Xiaoli gave Yingying a deep look: "As long as you believe it's right, even if everyone else turns against you."

After a long silence, Yingying asked, "You won't regret it?"

"no way."

"With your personality..." Yingying shrugged nonchalantly: "Host, what do you plan to do?"

"I need to find a reason to appear in front of him, right?" Dong Xiaoli joked. "I can't just tell him that I'm a carp spirit or a dragon who came to repay a debt of gratitude, can I? I'm afraid of scaring the child."

【Host, you can wait until he comes of age. After all, it's not appropriate for you to marry him now.】

“But I don’t want him to go through so much suffering.” Dong Xiaoli smiled gently. “I don’t want him to have to bear so much at such a young age. From a child who lost both parents to the prime minister, he has experienced far too much.”

“The expenses for scientific expeditions are too high. If I were by his side, he wouldn’t have to work so hard.”

[Host, are you capable of turning lead into gold or tears into pearls?]

Dong Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said, "I can take on an entire bandit stronghold by myself and rob the rich to help the poor."

[Host, please don't get involved in karma!]

"Just kidding!" Dong Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and said, "As a quasi-god, plus a dragon, aren't the treasures in the sea all mine to find?"

"Right now, all I need to do is approach the other person without going out of character and get them to express their wish—scientific research." Dong Xiaoli shrugged and said, "After all, I'm just a fish that has transformed into a dragon with only three seconds of memory. How would I know anything about the mortal world, let alone scientific research?"

[So, host, how do you get the other person to express their wish without going out of character (OOC), and then appear by their side like a fairy godmother?]

"I have a skill called Dreamweaver," Dong Xiaoli said with a confident smile. "In a dream..."

Dong Xiaoli stretched out her right hand and grabbed at the air: "Anything is possible."

Generally speaking, people are most relaxed in their dreams.

Sleep itself is a form of mental rest.

Although dreams can affect sleep quality, nightmares, in particular, can make people sleep restlessly.

However, the dragon's innate skill—Dreamweaver Mist—only plunges people into a deeper sleep. It not only doesn't affect sleep quality but also allows the mind to rest better.

Everything awaited the arrival of night.
