"What happened to you in there?"
After being rebuked for a few times, Dugu Bo also confirmed that the person in front of him was still Xuan Ming.
After all, this guy is the only one who has the ability to confront people in a serious manner.
"I took a nap." Xuan Ming put on his ill-fitting clothes.
"This spring is making such a big noise, but you don't know anything about it?" Dugu Bo was a little suspicious.
Xuan Ming paused, "Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and said, "The truth."
"The truth cannot be told." Xuan Ming said.
The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King resided in the two dragons on his back. The Fire Dragon King didn't say anything, but the Ice Dragon King talked to him for a while.
It is said that they were originally gods in heaven, but they had an accident and fell to the mortal world. Now they have met him, their destined person. If he can pass the test, he can obtain the inheritance of the Dragon King.
However, he couldn't tell anyone about this.
"You shouldn't have been stained by anything dirty, right?" Dugu Bo asked.
Xuan Ming's eyes twitched slightly, and before he could speak, an icy blue light flashed in the eyes of the black dragon behind him on the right. The next moment, a dragon breath carrying terrifying freezing power suddenly spurted out!
Dugu Bo was shocked and quickly dodged.
The dragon's breath was like a raging glacier. Wherever it passed, the air condensed into tiny ice crystals, and the ground was instantly frozen into a thick layer of ice.
Although Dugu Bo dodged the attack, the bone-chilling cold still made him shiver.
"Be careful when you speak," Xuan Ming said.
"Otherwise, you might die."
The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are both dead. Most of their remaining power is contained in the dragon bones at the bottom of the spring. When the dragon souls and dragon bones are integrated, they can also unleash demigod-level power.
Although the two Dragon Kings only had dragon souls lodging in him, if they were really pissed off, the power contained in them would easily kill an ordinary Titled Douluo.
"This junior is sorry." Dugu Bo bowed with a guilty conscience.
Hearing this, the Ice Dragon King did not do anything else. The terrifying icy power slowly dissipated, and the power of the dragon soul also subsided.
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Xuan Ming with great resentment, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The legend of the real dragon is actually true!
Moreover, the residual soul of the real dragon actually took residence in this kid!
With that kind of pressure just now, if the other party really wanted to kill him, it would not be impossible!
"They won't let me say it." Xuan Ming said.
Dugu Bo's eye twitched, "They?"
"Could there be more?"
"…"
Xuan Ming didn't say anything, and Dugu Bo's expression became more and more interesting.
Yes, this ice and fire pool has two properties. The first one is extremely cold. If it can achieve symbiosis with it, then the other one must also be extremely hot at the same level! The dragon souls of two real dragons? Is this kid really lucky?
"By the way, I have to leave for a while." Xuan Ming said.
"Leave?" Dugu Bo was stunned.
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask me about this. I have to go out for a while anyway." Xuan Ming said.
The Ice Dragon King said that she felt a familiar force in the direction of the Star Forest and asked him to go there now so that she could confirm it.
I don't know whether the Ice Dragon King was talking about the sleeping Silver Dragon King or the golden-eyed Black Dragon King.
…
They left without delay, leaving Sunset Forest. Dugu Bo got Xuan Ming a carriage without asking him where he was going or what he was going to do.
As for the issue of safety, with two dragon souls around, Xuan Ming would basically not encounter any danger.
"When we get to the Star Forest, you won't kill me, will you?"
Halfway through the journey, Xuan Ming suddenly asked a question.
"Kill you? Why?" the Ice Dragon King asked puzzledly.
"Didn't you say that there might be people of your clan over there?" Xuan Ming said.
The Ice Dragon King snorted, his dragon soul wavering with disdain: "Although I mentioned that there might be people of the same clan, so what? Since I have said that I will choose you as the successor, I will not give up on you until you are unable to bear the responsibility or you get into trouble and lose your life."
"As for my fellow tribesmen, I am at least a senior of the Dragon Clan. Even if I am just a remnant soul, they have to respect me a little."
"I hope so." Xuan Ming was still a little unsure.
Seeing that Xuan Ming was worried, the hazy shadow of the Ice Dragon King poked out and hovered in front of him, "Since you don't trust me, why did you come?"
"I'm afraid you will kill me." Xuan Ming said.
"So, you don't believe what I said about the inheritance?" The Ice Dragon King was a little unhappy.
As the Dragon King, who would dare to doubt whether what she said was true or false?
The noble Dragon King never disdains such means!
"My luck is a bit problematic. Every time something good happens, it is followed by bad luck." Xuan Ming said.
"So, I just can't believe that this good thing of inheriting the power of a powerful person will happen to me."
"Bad luck?" The Ice Dragon King was a little confused.
"Tell me about it."
Xuan Ming paused, "Which part do you want to hear?"
"Let's start from the beginning." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Start from the beginning..." Xuan Ming thought for a moment and started from the beginning.
He never took the initiative to tell others about his past, because he didn't think there was anything worth talking about. What's more, he couldn't really talk about his past. He himself didn't want to recall it. If he talked about it, others would just think he was playing for pity.
But he was just stating the facts, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Perhaps he was used to it, or perhaps he was numb.
Many people say that he is a pessimistic person, but he thinks he is still quite optimistic and sunny.
Optimistic, no matter how unlucky he is, he still has hope for tomorrow and he is never negative.
Sunshine...at least he's not gloomy.
"What an unlucky child..."
After listening to Xuan Ming's self-introduction, the Ice Dragon King felt a little reluctant.
Although she had lived for countless years, she had spent most of them practicing and becoming stronger, and with the support of the Dragon God, it seemed that she had never experienced any bad luck.
But this child has only lived for such a short time, and his life can already be described as rough and bumpy!
What a disaster! With such bad luck, it's only natural that I don't believe her.
"Do you really think I'm unlucky?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Isn't it?" said the Ice Dragon King.
"I feel okay, at least I'm still alive." Xuan Ming said.
"After all, the truly unlucky people died a long time ago."
"I am still alive, I still have a chance to change, I can still see the sun tomorrow, I can still eat delicious food, and there are people who care about me, instead of being left alone, a rotting and smelly corpse lying on the side of the road."
"Are you a little too optimistic?" the Ice Dragon King asked strangely.
After going through so many things, she could not see any gloom in this child's heart. He was really optimistic! He was not just saying it! "Optimistic... Actually, I was not so optimistic before." Xuan Ming said.
"But later I realized that I was so unlucky. If I hadn't been more optimistic, I would not have survived."
"I always say that I'm not good at deceiving myself, but actually... I seem to be a master at deceiving myself."
"When you are in bad luck, think about the good side, make yourself feel better, and don't make things worse for yourself."
"When you are lucky, think of the worst, so as not to be unlucky again."
"…"
"Have you told this to anyone else?" asked the Ice Dragon King.
"No, I don't tell these to anyone." Xuan Ming said.
"Why?" asked the Ice Dragon King puzzledly.
"People are treacherous. When I say this, those people will only think that I am being artificial and pretending to be magnanimous. Some of them will even make things worse for me and try to drive me completely crazy. Then, they can point at the crazy me and say, look, this person's true colors are revealed." Xuan Ming said.
"They pretend to be compassionate and pity those who have fallen, while at the same time they are keen to kick down those who are desperately trying to climb up."
"You push a person who wants to live to death, and when he really wants to die and is really dead... you pretend to want him to live again."
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and calmed down. "It's not that I don't want to talk, I just don't want to gamble. What kind of people are listening to me?"
"Then... why are you willing to tell me all this?" The Ice Dragon King had a little expectation.
"Could it be…"
"Because you are not human." Xuan Ming said.
"…"
"ah???"
