âLord Father, please stop! Iâm begging you, Chu Feng and Grandmaster Ox didnât lie to you. The Dragon Vein Source is really within my body! I donât know why it canât be detected right now, but itâs definitely in there. I can sense its presence!
âLord Father, I promise you that Iâll do my best to assimilate this energy so as to not let you down, but Chu Feng and his master arenât liars! They are benefactors of the Dragon Clan! Lord Father, you mustnât make things difficult for them!â
Long Xiaoxiao desperately pushed herself off the ground and kneeled on the floor, begging her father desperately.
She knew that this was not a lie. The energy was definitely within her body. Even if others couldnât sense it, she was able to feel its presence.
âLong Xiaoxiao, shut your mouth! You arenât worthy of being a member of the Dragon Clan. I shall teach you a lesson on Lord Fatherâs behalf right now!â
Long Mumu walked up to Long Xiaoxiao to make a move on her.
Chu Feng wanted to stop Long Mumu, but he found that his body wouldnât listen to his command at all.
It was the oppressive might from the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief. The latter had directed it only toward him and his master, sealing off their movements.
So Chu Feng could only watch helplessly as Long Mumu marched up to Long Xiaoxiao and beat her up.
Using the same means as her mother, Long Mumu struck Long Xiaoxiaoâs face with her hand relentlessly.
In this instant, her seemingly fair and slender hand had become the most vicious and vile weapon in the world, raining down blows on Long Xiaoxiaoâs face.
Pah!
Pah!
Pah!
Such clear sounds exploded loudly in the air, and even the powerful shockwaves that rose as a result of it couldnât conceal the sounds.
Soon, Long Xiaoxiao was beaten to the point where her face had become a mishmash of blood and flesh. It was impossible to see through her original appearance anymore.
Long Mumuâs attacks werenât fatal, but they were aimed to disfigure Long Xiaoxiao and maximize her suffering. It was indeed an extremely vicious move.
Yet, no one stepped forward to stop Long Mumu at all.
Everyone had implicitly given her their consent to punish Long Xiaoxiao.
This made Chu Feng extremely angry.
âHahahahaha!â
All of a sudden, a peal of hearty laughter sounded in the air. It was coming from the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
âClan Chief of the Dragon Clan, I have already told you that Princess Xiaoxiao is the future of your Dragon Clan, but you still chose to treat her in such a manner. I hope that you donât regret your decision in the future,â the Ox-nosed Old Daoist spoke with a light voice.
âI donât know whether Iâll regret it in the future, but I know for sure that youâll definitely regret daring to make a fool out of our Dragon Clan!â
Right after saying those words, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief opened his hand, and countless sharp blades could be seen twirling above his palm.
While these sharp blades were miniature at the moment, they would morph into the size of a real sword once the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief released them.
This was a fact that everyone knew.
Long Mumu pummeling Long Xiaoxiao was just the starter.
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief was going to make a move, and the ones who would suffer as a result of that were definitely Chu Feng and the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
All of a sudden, one of the Supreme Elders shouted out in astonishment. âLord Clan Chief, look at Princess Xiaoxiao. Hurry!â
Upon hearing those words, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief turned his gaze over, and he saw that Long Xiaoxiao was currently undergoing a transformation.
Despite being struck to the point of disfigurement by Long Mumu, there was not even the slightest sound coming out of Long Xiaoxiao. In fact, she didnât dodge Long Mumuâs attacks at all, allowing the latter to strike her again and again.
Long Xiaoxiao was knocked down by Long Mumu after each and every strike, but she would still rise up right away. It was as if there was a dogged will within her that didnât allow her to bow down and admit defeat.
But at this moment, she was lying on the floor, moaning in pain.
Her cries sounded so heart-wrenching that it was impossible to imagine just how much pain she was in.
âKepp faking! Mere physical pain, and you act as if youâre dying. Long Xiaoxiao, I never knew that you had such acting talent in you!â
Long Mumu wasnât moved to see Long Xiaoxiaoâs state at all. Instead, she mocked her mercilessly, using vile words to put her down.
âLong Xiaoxiao, donât try to garner sympathy! Do you think that the Dragon Clan will let you go just like that?â
After Long Mumu said those words, she turned to the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief with a smug look on her face.
âLord Father, please do not sympathize with this traitor. She has colluded with outsiders to destroy the foundations of our Dragon Clan. She deserves to be executed!â
âShut up!â
Who would have thought Long Mumuâs words would be faced with a furious bellow from the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief?
That wasnât all. The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief even pushed Long Mumu aside before carefully helping Long Xiaoxiao back to her feet. Then, he placed a hand on Long Xiaoxiaoâs head and fondled it gently.
âXiaoxiao, how are you feeling right now? Grandmaster, whatâs wrong with Xiaoxiao? Save her! Young friend Chu Feng, Xiaoxiao is your friend, right? Help her!â the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief suddenly cried out.
At the same time, he also reined in that terrifying oppressive might of his.
He had turned a blind eye to Long Xiaoxiaoâs miserable plight before, but all of a sudden, he was showing so much concern for her.
This left Long Mumu and her mother in a state of bewilderment. However, when they took a closer look at Long Xiaoxiao, they froze in place.
They immediately understood what was going on.
There were some changes that were happening to Long Xiaoxiaoâs body. Her howl of agony was not because of Long Mumu striking her, but the changes she was undergoing.
One just had to pay closer attention in order to sense the mystical aura that was arising in Long Xiaoxiaoâs body. It was an energy very similar to that of the Dragon Clanâs bloodline, but it was many times stronger than that.
However, what stood out the most were the two things rising out of Long Xiaoxiaoâs headâhorns.
This pair of horns was actually connected to her soul, and the powerful aura was coming from these horns.
Furthermore, the horns were still growing. Soon, they started to branch out like a tree.
Even though they still werenât too big yet, it was clear that they were growing more and more in resemblance to something.
Dragon horns!
