Chapter 268 - What Are They Like? (1/2)

Jing Yi didn't dare to comment on that and just breached the topic he was interested in. ”Do you remember what you told me before we went to the Grandmaster's place that day?”

Qiu Ling cracked his eyes open. Naturally, every moment he spent with his beloved was etched into his mind. It just seemed … the topic they had discussed then was a bit dangerous?

He averted his gaze. ”Not really? Maybe it was about the duel? That was the same day, after all. Ah, my love, it couldn't be that you're still worried I might have —”

A finger landed on his lips and he was met with a slightly sterner gaze.

”Didn't you say you'd answer all of my questions at any given time?”

”Uh … Of course! So if you want to know if I'm —”

”That's great then!” Jing Yi smiled, shutting up Qiu Ling again.

A certain dragon king felt rather helpless. He always grew weak-willed in front of his beloved and now with that gaze … He pursed his lips and tried to look pitiful but Jing Yi just continued to stare at him. After more than a year he knew exactly how to handle Qiu Ling.

In the end, Qiu Ling could only sigh. ”Alright. What do you want to know?”

”You're really a dragon, right?”

”Mn.”

”Then … What about them? I mean … I've heard of dragons but I don't really know anything about them. What are they like?”

Qiu Ling blinked. This was all his beloved wanted to know? Why had he gotten anxious because of this? Well, he didn't really know how to answer this question though. Regardless, he would still try for the sake of his future marital bliss.

In a rare show of seriousness, Qiu Ling actually sat up and leaned against the back of the bed next to Jing Yi. ”What are they like? It's not so easy to say. You probably also wouldn't know how to describe to me what humans are like if I asked you.”

”That's probably true.”

”It's the same for me. Well, comparing both our races the most obvious difference would probably be that we dragons are immortal by nature. We do need longer to mature though. Think of Xiao Dong. He still isn't an adult so from a mortal perspective he isn't growing anymore and still looks very much like a child while you and that Shao Hai have both grown up.”

”Xiao Dong is a dragon, too?”

Qiu Ling coughed. ”Uh … Yes. You'd be surprised if you knew how many you've actually seen.”
