171: Chapter 46: One of the Nine Famous Songs, “Forgetful Machine” (Part 2) 171: Chapter 46: One of the Nine Famous Songs, “Forgetful Machine” (Part 2) …
Ye Yinzhu didn’t know how long he had slept, but when he awoke, all he could hear was the wind whistling by his ears.
It was very cold around him, and as he came to his senses, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Fortunately, seventy percent of his Douqi had recovered, automatically protecting his body.
Stimulated by the icy cold, he gradually became fully alert; and to his horror, he found that his body was rapidly advancing, or rather, flying swiftly through the air.
It was not just wind that blew across him but also clouds.
He was constantly moving through bunches of cold, moist, cotton candy-like white clouds, and the sun in the sky seemed much closer, its light more dazzling.
Beneath him were round scales that sparkled with dazzling silver light under the sun, and the familiar aura in his spirit had already told him whose it was.
“You’re awake,” Li Sha’s cold voice sounded.
“Are you taking me to Silver Dragon City?” With the return of his senses, Ye Yinzhu’s memory also naturally restored.
“What do you think?
Since you’re awake now, hold on tight, I’m going to start speeding up,” replied Li Sha.
Before Ye Yinzhu could react, a powerful surge of force hit him head-on.
Luckily, his reactions were fairly quick; he clamped his legs tightly around Li Sha’s broad dragon back and grabbed onto the scales to prevent being thrown off.
The sound of the wind’s howl grew louder, with more white clouds passing over his body.
All Ye Yinzhu could do now was to press his body tightly against Li Sha’s back and stimulate his Zhu Douqi to protect himself from the chill.
“Li Sha, how long have we been flying?” He didn’t need to worry about Haiyang.
After nearly perfect treatment, Haiyang only needed rest and would wake up soon.
With the tremendous life force from Green Silk and the Zi Zhu Magic Needle, not only had the corrosive curse on her body pletely vanished, but her body had also been thoroughly transformed.
From now on, she would only bee healthier.
“A whole day,” Li Sha answered simply.
“Then how much longer until we reach Silver Dragon City?”
“Soon.
Why do you talk so much?
If you keep this up, I’ll throw you down and let you make your own way,” Li Sha said.
It was the first time she carried a human, and she was very reluctant in her heart, forting herself with the reason to bring Ye Yinzhu back as soon as possible.
However, for some unknown reason, after she started carrying Ye Yinzhu, she didn’t feel the anticipated repulsion.
Throughout the entire day’s flight, she continually monitored the condition of Ye Yinzhu’s body, making sure to fly steadily for fear he would fall off her back.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t argue.
If he were on the ground, he would have some confidence, but now he was in mid-air.
Arguing with Li Sha would only bring trouble upon himself.
As the flight continued and Ye Yinzhu’s own condition kept improving, he gradually grew accustomed to the sensation of the swift wind.
Out of boredom, he couldn’t help observing Li Sha’s true form.
As a Silver Dragon, Li Sha’s true body was indeed much more beautiful than that of a Black Dragon.
She was about sixteen or seventeen meters in length, a full third smaller than the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu, but each of her dragon scales was so symmetrical.
The huge wings stretched out on both sides of her body, almost as wide as her length.
Her dragon head was raised, with a silver horn about a meter long on top of her head.
From the dragon neck all the way to the tail, there was a series of silver dragon fins, and Ye Yinzhu’s current position was between two of these fins.
Around her massive body, there was always a layer of purple light, which contained the essence of the Wind element.
The instant acceleration before was due to the effect of these massive Wind elements.
Clearly, the flight of a Silver Dragon did not rely solely on the dragon wings and body.
As a well-known Magic Dragon, magical assistance was naturally indispensable.
He wondered how Zi was doing now.
Zi had overexerted his strength last time and would need a long time to recover.
It was a pity that Li Sha was not his real contracted Magical Beast; otherwise, having such a flying dragon would make traveling much more convenient.
After being quiet for a while, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help asking, “Li Sha, there are many Dragon Knights on the continent, like Marshal Xi Duofu, for example.
Do they have to ride a dragon like I do now, bending their bodies down to avoid being blown off by the wind?”
Li Sha snorted disdainfully, “That only proves how weak you are.
Do you think we Giant Dragons just randomly sign contracts with humans?
It’s a bit easier for underage Dragon Clan, which can grow with you humans, making the contract relatively easier.
But for us adult Giant Dragons, without enough strength, don’t even think about it.
Dragon Knights naturally don’t need to do like you.
To sign a contract with our rank Nine Giant Dragons, at the very least they must have Zi rank strength, so such wind won’t affect them.
Moreover, after signing the contract, Dragon Knights will always craft a set of dragon saddles for themselves to better bine with the Giant Dragons and better unleash both parties’ strength.”
“No wonder the number of Dragon Knights is so few, without enough strength, it’s impossible to cooperate with a Giant Dragon,” Ye Yinzhu said suddenly enlighted.
“Now that you understand, so remember, even though you have my soul attachment, do not summon me in the future.
I won’t help you.
You’re far from qualified.”
Ye Yinzhu fell silent.
Li Sha, being in her true flight form, prevented him from glimpsing the expression on her face.
What she showed was defiance.
…
“Grandpa Qin, why do I have to practice zither and Douqi every day?”
“Because on our continent, strength is the source of everything.
Without sufficient strength, you can’t possibly do what you want to do.
Without enough strength, you can only be subject to others’ contempt and humiliation.”
…
At that time, Ye Yinzhu didn’t fully understand Qin Shang’s words, but at this moment, he finally grasped their deep meaning.
For the first time in his life, he felt a strong desire for power.
Looking down at Li Sha’s immense body, he secretly vowed that one day, he would subdue Li Sha with his true strength, making her his summoned magical beast.
“Did I perhaps speak too harshly?” Li Sha felt a touch of pity as she sensed Ye Yinzhu’s silence, but the pride of the Dragon Clan prevented her from softening the atmosphere between the two.
Amidst this heaviness, Li Sha accelerated once more, flying at top speed toward Silver Dragon Valley.
The so-called “faster” flight that Li Sha referred to had taken half a day at high speed.
As dusk approached, they finally reached their destination.
The flapping of her dragon wings slowed, and Li Sha glided downward in a sweeping motion, “We’re here.”
During the half-day journey, Ye Yinzhu had mostly recovered his Douqi and spiritual power.
Looking down, he saw an oddly shaped valley appearing in their slanting path forward.
Following Li Sha’s gliding direction, this was clearly their destination, Silver Dragon City.
It turned out that Silver Dragon City was not a real city like those of the humans but was, indeed, a valley—indeed, a valley more suitable for the powerful Dragon Clan to live in.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Yinzhu straightened up on Li Sha’s back, carefully observing everything about Silver Dragon City before him.
Since Li Sha had already slowed down to a glide, the current wind force didn’t have much impact on Ye Yinzhu.
The valley before him was somewhat strange.
It was entirely different from what he had seen in the Burna Mountain Range.
The Burna had been full of rolling peaks, most with elevations over a thousand meters.
This valley, though quite high, had an exceptionally peculiar shape.
To call it a valley was somewhat misleading; it resembled a colossally large well.
Sharp cliffs, looking as if they were carved by ax and chisel, surrounded the valley, mostly exceeding two thousand meters in height.
The inside of the valley, however, was made of gentle slopes, all slanting downward.
A stark contrast presented itself; the outer cliffs were too steep for any vegetation, while the inner slopes supported vast plant growth—which was a pity since most plants were withering in winter.
Without a bird’s-eye view from above, this spectacular sight would be hard to notice.
Silver Dragon City, this was Silver Dragon City!
Ye Yinzhu thought to himself.
A terrain as unique as Silver Dragon City’s could not be scaled by even the finest samurai without the power of flight.
It was truly an impregnable fortress.
But for the Dragon Clan capable of flight, such a natural barrier was likely only there to deter humans and lower-level creatures.
It held little significance for the dragons themselves.
Around the valley of Silver Dragon City lay vast, primitive forests, with Silver Dragon City at its core, a truly blessed land.
Not far from Silver Dragon City was a huge lake, which resembled a massive piece of icy blue crystal from the birds-eye view above.
Even from high in the sky, Ye Yinzhu could feel its purity and clarity.
As the scenery swept by below, Li Sha’s giant wings gradually folded, and they entered the bounds of the valley.
“Who is this?
Sister Li Sha, you’re back,” a surprised voice rang out as a huge silver dragon rose from below and soared upwards.
Ye Yinzhu looked closely and saw that this silver dragon was larger than Li Sha, with extremely intense magical fluctuations surrounding it.
A faint purple light entwined around the silver scales.
The dragon let out a spirited roar, and the elements of magic in the air trembled almost simultaneously.
“Green, can’t you keep it down a bit?
Besides, we’re not related by blood, so please don’t call me your sister in the future,” Li Sha replied, her tone even colder than when she addressed Ye Yinzhu, suggesting she didn’t get along well with this silver dragon.
“Sister Li Sha, you’re back, and that’s just me letting everyone know!
Saying that just now really hurt my feelings,” replied Green.
Although Ye Yinzhu didn’t understand the expressions of silver dragons, he could tell that this Green was wearing an ostensibly flattering face.
He couldn’t help but smirk inwardly—it seemed that the emotions of dragons were not so different from those of humans.
