Chapter 569 - A Pair of Pretty Eyes (1/2)

He had seen Jinde's dragon form a few times but he honestly hadn't liked it very much. Well, that wasn't completely true. When Jinde transformed for the first time, he had loved it. At least for a short moment.

It had been a sunny day. The warm breeze was pushing a few fluffy, white clouds across the sky but they hardly provided any shade. That kind of day was his favorite. Thanks to their superior physique, dragons didn't mind any kind of weather so Jinde would still spend the day outside if he had something to do there. Then his hair would gleam in the sun and his eyes would sparkle especially pretty.

Jin Ling couldn't help but follow him even more closely than usual, tugging at his sleeve every now and then so he would turn around and smile at him. Then he would be happy that Jinde smiled at him but also a little sad because his eyes would curve up when he smiled, hiding that beautiful golden color.

Thus after a few minutes, he would tug again and maybe this time, Jinde wouldn't smile like that. No, sometimes, he would crouch down next to him and look at him with his eyes open, sparkling in the sun.

”What is it, Ah Jin? Don't you like it outside? You can go in and wait. I'll be with you in a bit.”

Jin Ling hurriedly shook his head and grabbed Jinde's hand.

”You don't want to go inside?” Jinde tilted his head. ”Then do you want to wait over there?” He motioned at a row of trees, probably thinking how it would be cooler in their shade.

Jin Ling shook his head again. He just wanted to stay with his Jinde, nothing more.

Unfortunately, Jinde didn't seem to understand. He reached up and touched Jin Ling's forehead. ”Mn … You don't seem to have a fever. Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?”

Jin Ling shook his head for the third time, his gaze still trained on Jinde's eyes. So pretty … He was a little dazed looking at them, which in turn had to worry Jinde.

He got up and patted Jin Ling's head. ”Wait here for a bit. I'll be back in a minute.” With that, he wriggled out of Jin Ling's grip and turned away.

Jin Ling grew anxious and hurried after him but Jinde was so tall and his legs were long and finally, that tall and beautiful person transformed right in front of his eyes.

Jinde's dragon form looked a lot like his immortal form: A pair of dazzling, golden eyes and the whole body covered with equally golden scales. He was easily the most beautiful dragon in the whole realm.

Jin Ling stood rooted to the spot. Even though he knew that Jinde was a dragon, the dragons didn't transform that often so he had never seen him do it, despite growing up at his side. Right now, he could only stare slack-jawed and admire the beautiful creature in front of him.

Jinde, the dragon, turned around and nuzzled his head with its own. Jin Ling happily reached up and patted it, touching those golden scales. They were warm, just like Jinde's immortal body. They weren't as soft though. Between hugging a soft leg and touching pretty scales … Jin Ling wasn't too sure what he liked more but the soft leg would probably win by a bit.
