Chapter 11: The Dragon Girl's Bet

  When Wu Ming heard the call, the white shadow did not make a sound, but approached him like a gust of wind. The exquisite movements, as if a heavenly maiden had descended to earth and was dancing, were truly breathtaking, making Wu Ming sigh in admiration, his heart increasingly yearning for a future life of heroic swordsmanship in the martial world.

  As he drew closer, Wu Ming finally made out the features of the person in the dim light. If it wasn't Little Dragon Maiden, then who was it?

  She was still wearing a snow-white gauze long dress, and with the fluttering movement, the skirt flew up, looking like a fairy in the sky. However, the faintly cold and detached air around her gave people a feeling that she could only be admired from afar, but not approached.

  Wu Ming's current body is that of a little kid, but mentally he is an out-and-out big shot.

  Facing the elegant and beautiful peerless beauty, and recalling his relationship with Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Hero, even if Little Dragon Girl seemed indifferent, he couldn't help but feel a kind of inexplicable heart palpitation.

  "Dragon sister, how did you end up here?" As soon as Wu Ming's words left his mouth, he felt that he had asked a very foolish question. The ancient tomb was originally the range of Xiaolongnv's activities, and it should be normal for her to appear anywhere.

  "I've come, naturally I'm looking for you." Little Dragon Maiden said coldly.

  "Looking for me?" Wu Ming was somewhat surprised, had he been lost in the ancient tomb for a long time?

  The little dragon girl glanced at Wu Ming and said, "You still don't know that your wife can't find you and is worried to death. If it weren't for the fact that she begged me, I wouldn't have bothered to look all over for you."

  "Sorry, Long Jie, I've caused you trouble." Wu Ming's heart was sweating profusely. It seemed that the time spent scouting ahead earlier was far longer than he had felt.

  Alas, without a watch and mobile phone, these modern things, in this ancient tomb that doesn't distinguish between day and night, it's really a very helpless thing.

  Wu Ming sighed inwardly at that moment, but then heard Xiao Long Nu say in a cold voice: "Don't talk about these useless things, come with me."

  Little Dragon Girl finished speaking and didn't wait for Wu Ming's response, she got up and floated forward, but her speed was much slower than when she came.

  "Oh..." Wu Ming lightly responded with a sound, silently speechless in his heart, and quickly followed the pace of Little Dragon Girl.

  The little dragon girl seemed to be walking very slowly, but in fact she was not slow at all. Wu Ming almost ran forward, but he was far behind her.

  "Slow down, Long sister..." Wu Ming was both embarrassed and speechless.

  "I'm already very slow. Forget it, I'll take you with me." After finishing speaking, the little dragon girl seemed to not want to delay any further, turned her head and flew over with a swift leap, her slender white hands gently embracing Wu Ming's body in her arms, then floated forward quickly flying away.

  Little Dragon Girl's movements were too fast, Wu Ming only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and his body was already in her arms.

  A faint coolness spread through the skin where they touched, and a delicate fragrance like lotus and orchid wafted from the little dragon girl's body, making Wu Ming involuntarily take a deep breath. It was truly elegant and fragrant, wonderful to the extreme. Indeed, she lived up to her reputation as the legendary little dragon girl.

  And then, as the little dragon girl continued to display her lightness skills, Wu Ming's face would occasionally come into close contact with her body. Although she was still young and not fully physically developed, the soft sensation still gave Wu Ming an indescribable thrill.

  Poor Little Dragon Girl didn't know any of this, she simply treated Wu Ming as a little kid, occasionally even putting Wu Ming's head on her chest, letting Wu Ming unintentionally eat a few more bites of tofu.

  For Wu Ming, this was the most exciting and happiest moment since he came to the world of Shen Diao, being able to get the legendary Little Dragon Girl, which was his heart's desire.

  Although it's still far from that step now, in Wu Ming's heart, this is undoubtedly the first intimate contact between him and Little Dragon Girl, with great significance.

  Unfortunately, happiness is always short-lived. The little dragon girl's speed was very fast, and in a short while, she brought him to the entrance of the ancient tomb and put him down at the first opportunity.

  "You wait here, I'll go find Auntie." After leaving these words behind, Little Dragon Maiden flew off once again.

  "Hmm." Watching the absolutely beautiful back view drifting away, recalling the intimate contact with her before, Wu Ming's heart actually rose with a thread of wonderful feeling, as if reluctant to part yet full of expectation.

  "Little Dragon Girl, wait for me, I will definitely let you get rid of the influence of Jade Maiden Skill as soon as possible, restore your youthful vitality at this age, and enjoy the joy and happiness of life wholeheartedly."

  Standing at the entrance of the tomb, basking in the warm sunlight, Wu Ming silently told himself.

  After a few minutes, Wu Ming heard footsteps coming from the ancient tomb and quickly turned his head to see Old Lady Sun and Little Dragon Girl rushing towards him, one after the other.

  "Child, where did you go just now? You scared Grandma to death." Seeing Wu Ming, Sun Bao's wife rushed over and hugged him tightly in her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes.

  "Mom, it's all my fault for being naughty and wandering around, making you worry." Feeling the sincere maternal love from Grandma Sun, Wu Ming felt a mix of guilt and warmth in his heart.

  "What? What did you call your grandmother?" Little Dragon Girl had been very indifferent before, but now she seemed a bit shocked.

  "Dragon sister, I acknowledge Sun's wife as my godmother. From now on, we are a family." Wu Ming knew that he couldn't hide it anyway, and he didn't want to hide it either, so he just acknowledged it straightforwardly.

  "Is this true?" Little Dragon Girl asked coldly, looking at Old Lady Sun.

  "Alas..." Old Lady Sun sighed and said: "Miss, this child's life is pitiful. I, an old woman, couldn't bear to see him all alone, so I took him in as my adopted son. I hope you'll consider his young age and the fact that he's my child, and agree to let him stay in the ancient tomb."

  "But Granny, have you forgotten the rules set by our ancestors and the instructions left by our Master?"

  "Girl, these old women haven't forgotten, but can't we make an exception just this once? Look at this child, so young and already without father or mother, now suffering from the bullying of his schoolmates, do you want me to stand by and watch him suffer?"

  "Grandma, this is the rule of the ancient tomb sect. Are you asking me to disobey my master's orders and go against our ancestors? By the way, didn't I ask you to send Yu Feng over last night to take care of that child's problem? Why has he come back?"

  "Miss, the thing is...". Knowing she couldn't hide it anymore, Old Lady Sun recounted the events leading up to this point, speaking in a way that thoroughly defended Wu Ming while criticizing the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect as being of the lowest character. As she spoke, Old Lady Sun became increasingly agitated, "Miss, the stinky Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect are just like this, how can an old woman return the child to them? Isn't that just pushing the child into a fire pit?"

  "Mother-in-law, don't say anything more, I won't agree."

  "Mother, since Dragon Sister won't agree, then forget it. Anyway, the world is big and there's always a place for children to live."

  "No, child. Now that I've acknowledged you as my son, I must take good care of you." Old Lady Sun shook her head and hugged Wu Ming tightly, then turned to look at Little Dragon Girl with a trembling voice: "Miss, all these years, I've raised you from childhood, wiping your behind and changing your diapers. Have I ever asked anything of you? Can't you just make an exception this one time for my sake?"

  "Grandma, let me think about it." Although Little Dragon Girl had become very apathetic due to her practice of the Jade Maiden Skill, she had been raised by Grandma Sun since childhood and still had deep feelings for this old woman hidden in her apathetic heart. Now that she heard Grandma Sun say this, her heart also relaxed a little.

  After a moment of hesitation, the little dragon girl suddenly asked: "Auntie, you just said that this child will have to formally compete with Zhao Zhi Jing Dao Zhang of the Quanzhen Sect again in the evening, is this true?"

  Before Grandma Sun could respond, Wu Ming hastily replied, "Yes, Dragon Sister."

  "Nature won't be fake." With Wu Ming's words, Sun Bao also nodded in agreement.

  "Mother, otherwise it would be like this. The Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect have always been at odds, if this child wins against the Quanzhen Sect's Taoist in the next trial, it would be equivalent to helping the Ancient Tomb Sect share its worries, I will make an exception as the current leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect and allow him to enter the sect. I think Master and Ancestress will also understand."

  "Girl, must you win at all costs?" In Old Lady Sun's eyes, Wu Ming's chances of winning were extremely low.

  Little Dragon Girl nodded and said: "Right, we must win, otherwise I won't be able to account for myself to Master in the underworld."

  "But..." Grandma Sun was about to continue, but Wu Ming shook his head and said, "Mom, forget it. Let's do as Long sister says. I believe in myself and I'll definitely win in the end."

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have triggered the quest [Dragon Girl's Gamble]."
