IS Chapter 22
by VolareHis Life-Bound Sword was drawn out, not in his hand, nor by his side.
As a sword cultivator unable to touch his Life-Bound Sword, he should feel uncomfortable, as if a part of his body was missing, but in fact, that feeling wasn’t strong.
…Because this dragon’s aura and his sword were truly similar.
Ye Zhuo’s knuckles slightly bent, raising his hand as if to summon his sword.
But Li Yuan saw through his intention, instead grabbing his wrist and pressing it onto the cold jade couch.
In terms of physical strength alone, humans naturally couldn’t compare to the Dragon race, and Ye Zhuo couldn’t pull away.
In the elusive fragrance, Li Yuan was very close to him.
Ye Zhuo didn’t like being so close to others. Although because of the Life-Bound Sword, he didn’t have much resistance to this person, subconsciously he still wanted to push Li Yuan away.
However, all the strength in his body was melted away by the hazy fragrance, his fingers only pressed against Li Yuan’s shoulder, without much force at all.
This action, on the contrary, allowed him to touch Li Yuan even more.
Completely different from the Life-Bound Sword, this was a living body, and its presence was especially obvious.
Three inches below his fingers was his chest, this person’s heart was beating, Ye Zhuo could hear the sound of his heartbeat, feeling that slight vibration.
–All of this was not something he could get used to.
Just like catching that deer fawn, there was a bit of a light, floating weight, under his fingers was its warm fur body, and its pounding heart.
That really made people feel uncomfortable.
Of course, dragon whelps and deer fawns were not quite the same.
The deer fawn’s body was in his hand, and it would die with a little force.
Dragons couldn’t die.
Even the dragon that hadn’t grown up ten years ago, your sword, after all, couldn’t take its life.
Ten years later, the dragon would come to the human world from the East Sea again, appearing in front of you in a show of force, using his sword to question your sword, letting you see how much he had learned in the past ten years.
Ye Zhuo still remembered the deer fawn’s heart beating very fast, making him immediately think of the sound when the sword blade pierced through, and the subtle sensation transmitted from the sword.
The dragon’s heartbeat was very slow, like the undercurrent in the ocean abyss, and he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to stab into it.
When there was a reverse scale, a person’s sword would be blocked by the dragon scale. But even without the heart-protecting reverse scale, the dragon still wouldn’t die.
The most potent poison in the human world could at most make it sleep for a month, and it would wake up unharmed. When heart blood flowed out, he had felt that heart, without a reverse scale, but still with an invisible barrier, solemn and powerful, able to cross ten thousand ages.
Whether it was a natural weakness, or protected by elders, it was not unexpected.
After all, dragons were creatures of the Great Dao.
After ten thousand years, when this human realm had turned to dust, the dragon would still be there, even at that time it would be considered the prime of a dragon, and at that time, its power should be like the sun, moon, and primordial universe.
Ye Zhuo opened his eyes, his fingers quietly touching the dragon whelp’s chest.
Feeling that Ye Zhuo seemed to be different, Li Yuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Zhuo shook his head.
Is that so? Li Yuan looked into his eyes, wanting to see something from them.
…But he only felt rippling waves, never mind, Li Yuan felt that he should go see a doctor.
But that faint gaze made Li Yuan vigilant, this person seemed to be plotting against him again.
“What,” Li Yuan asked, “What else do you want to take?”
Innocence was groundlessly suspected, Ye Zhuo was noncommittal, raising his eyes to look at Li Yuan, with a smile that was not a smile.
“I heard that your Dragon race has a secret method, which can evenly divide your own bloodline to other races, transforming them into flood dragons, is that true?”
“There is, but it can only be used once. After using it, one’s own bloodline also falls to the level of a flood dragon,” Li Yuan said.
The Dragon Realm was so vast that nothing was surprising, and there were indeed those who had used this method, regressing from a True Dragon to a Flood Dragon, and dying of old age.
“You should say, no,” Ye Zhuo said, “Otherwise, aren’t you afraid that I’ll find a way to take your bloodline away too?”
Perhaps it was the effect of the fragrance, but Li Yuan felt that this person’s voice was a little lower, with a bit of hoarseness, like a solitary moon in the cold sky, half hidden behind the clouds, its light becoming hazy like water.
–It sounded like it was real.
Li Yuan sneered, “Come on, Ye Zhuo. Even if I gave you a Flood Dragon bloodline, would you think much of it?”
Ye Zhuo thought for a while in the fragrance, and replied, “You’re right.”
Li Yuan had expected this, and snorted coldly.
It seemed that the fragrance wasn’t strong enough, causing this person to talk nonsense here, the previous two times he hadn’t said a word and let others do as they pleased.
The Second Palace Master Ye’s attire was simple today, and it wouldn’t be difficult to tear it open, it would be scattered in a few strokes.
Especially when he was unarmed and without cultivation, he would always subconsciously struggle when restrained, and when the struggle failed, his eyebrows would furrow slightly, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
Li Yuan’s gaze went from his chest to his waist.
Those thin, well-defined muscles were very beautiful, but he knew that it wasn’t just for looks, this person could withstand the Two Extremes Realm, and block the True Dragon’s original form, this body was originally meant to ascend to the heavens and ask about the Dao, witnessing the pinnacle of humanity.
However, it was so dazzling.
He felt like a jade sword without a sheath, slender and translucent. Touching it with his fingers, it felt like he would be cut in the next moment.
Unconsciously, the Dragon Scent Guide became a few points stronger.
Ye Zhuo was indeed displeased: “Don’t touch me.”
Li Yuan pretended he hadn’t heard this sentence at all.
What, Ye Zhuo could touch him, but he couldn’t touch this person?
It wasn’t like he hadn’t touched him before, a touch was already the lightest thing.
His five fingers had already grasped that warm, supple waist.
Li Yuan stared at something, pondered for a moment, and then leaned down.
Ye Zhuo: “…”
He always felt that this dragon didn’t seem to remember how to circulate cultivation techniques.
He wanted to speak to remind him, but in the next moment, he swallowed all the sounds in his throat.
“….!”
What was this dragon doing?
If they were going to cultivate together, then they should, why do these unnecessary things!
Ye Zhuo was angry, almost wanting to circulate his spiritual power to throw this person out!
But he couldn’t gather any spiritual power at all, his wrists were firmly restrained, his waist was also held down, his shoulders and back sank into the soft pillows, and he couldn’t even get up, he could only pant, lying on his back.
Li Yuan could naturally feel Ye Zhuo’s chaotic breathing, and the violent rise and fall of his chest.
He couldn’t say what kind of thought was driving him to do this, he thought it was just the Dragon race’s nature. When he saw something beautiful, he naturally wanted to explore it.
He had just wanted to touch it with his hand, but this person was very unhappy.
–It was indeed better than he imagined.
Like tasting exquisite, bright red candied fruit, lustrous and supple, he really wanted to swallow it into his stomach.
When Li Yuan finally raised his head from Ye Zhuo’s chest, he saw this person’s misty eyes, in the ubiquitous Dragon Scent Guide, even a slightly angry expression was difficult to maintain, he could only see that the corners of his eyes were red with anger.
The Human race was really fragile, just a taste and he turned into this.
In fact, in the eyes of the Dragon race, the Human race was very exquisite.
He only needed to transform into his original form, and he could swallow him whole, sucking, biting and chewing.
At that time, the feeling would definitely be much more delicious than it was now.
Meeting those dark golden vertical pupils that were deep and bottomless, Ye Zhuo finally realized something.
This dragon was no longer concealing his pupils, the dragon form was beginning to appear, what was he thinking?
Why did his intuition tell him that he should retreat, leave this place?
“Li Yuan,” Ye Zhuo gasped a few times, hearing his own voice was hoarse and unfamiliar, “If we’re going to cultivate, then cultivate, why do you have to do these unnecessary things?”
How could he concentrate on circulating his cultivation technique like this? It would only add obstacles!
“I did it if I wanted to,” Li Yuan said, “It’s just instinct.”
Ye Zhuo’s chest rose and fell a few times, as if he was angered by his answer, Li Yuan: “What?”
Wasn’t he allowed to?
He saw this person looking at him coldly: “If you can’t cultivate, I’ll kill you.”
“You’re already like this, how can we not,” Li Yuan slowly caressed the side of his waist.
–Like what?
Ye Zhuo directly pulled the feather quilt on the side and covered his entire face in it. He could do whatever he wanted, he was annoyed just looking at this dragon now.
But he was pushed away by Li Yuan again, as if he had to see his face.
Looking down at the radiant person beneath him, the expression in Li Yuan’s eyes was not clear.
This kind of Li Yuan made Ye Zhuo feel unfamiliar.
The memories of the previous few times were already messy and unclear, he wanted to recall what exactly had happened, but there were only some fragmented pieces, Ye Zhuo looked directly into those dark golden dragon pupils, inexplicably feeling a pressure like a deep sea surging around him.
But the Dragon race fragrance that permeated his body made him rise with scorching thoughts that were definitely not from his original heart, wanting to end everything, and sink himself into that deep sea.
…Maybe he was wrong before.
This was not a dragon whelp, but a True Dragon from the Hidden Abyss that had indeed grown up.
And he was now, in the palm of its hand.
Ye Zhuo felt dangerous now.
“Li Yuan,” Ye Zhuo gasped, “…Wake up.”
Li Yuan said calmly: “Okay.”
Then he leaned down and continued to taste his tea snack today.
