"you you you……"
The moment he found out that it was Shen Yi who was speaking, the young prince couldn't even speak clearly and looked at Shen Yi's face in shock.
"You...you can actually talk?"
"Is this weird?"
"Are you a monster?"
Shen Yi fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he gave an ambiguous answer: "You can think so."
"You are actually a monster!"
"..."
"You must have eaten a lot of people when you grew up, right?"
"...I have never eaten anyone."
"You lied! How could you have never eaten anyone?"
Shen Yi was immediately silenced by him. If his body grows up, he must eat some people, right?
Fortunately, this topic did not last long, and soon the young prince remembered more important things.
"Hey, did you just say you had candy?"
"Yes, I have candy."
"Then give it to me quickly!" The young prince showed excitement on his face, and he immediately stretched out his hand, as if it was a matter of course.
When Shen Yi saw this scene, he almost got up and slapped him, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
"You should know that when you gain something, you lose something else. You can have sugar, but you have to exchange it for something else."
"What do you want? Silver? I don't have that, but I have this." Without any explanation, the young prince took out a piece of gold and handed it to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi glanced at it. In normal times, he would have accepted it without hesitation, but now... what's the use of the money if he can't get away?
So he shook his head decisively and said, "I don't want this?"
Hearing his words, the young prince suddenly became dissatisfied: "This is gold, what do you want if you don't want this?"
"Money is of no use to me. I want the amber on your body. If you are willing to give it to me, I will give you lots and lots of candies."
The young prince glanced at the amber decree on his waist, and as expected, he decisively refused.
"No, I can't give this to you."
"Why?"
"You're a man-eating demon. If I let you out, wouldn't you be bringing trouble to the common people?"
"What?" Shen Yi's voice suddenly rose, "Who told you that I am a man-eating demon?"
"My dad, my brother, and the servants guarding the door."
"They fart!" Somehow, Shen Yi's emotions became excited. He looked very angry, but the nine-foot-long body brought an unparalleled sense of oppression to the young prince, making his body He froze and turned pale.
"How dare you be so rude!"
"What's so rude? I'm telling the truth, they're just farting! You were deceived by them!"
"impossible!"
"How is it impossible?"
"If you don't do all kinds of evil, go around eating people, and don't bring harm to the common people, why would my dad arrest you?"
"Hmph, your father caught me here because of cannibalism and causing trouble?"
"right!"
"Bullshit!"
"you……"
"I have been living my life in the deep mountains. I hunt when I am hungry and go back to the cave to sleep when I am sleepy. Before this, except for the woman who lives with me, I have never seen other human races. You humans are greedy and grab I just want to peel off my skin and take my flesh and bones to refine magic weapons and elixirs. I also do all kinds of evil and harm the common people. What I say is so high-sounding, it is nothing more than an excuse to avoid being talked about by others. You guys The human race is the one who does all the real bad things!”
"It's impossible...you look so scary, how could you not have done anything bad?"
"Hmph, is it possible that you can tell whether a person is good or bad by looking at his appearance?"
"cannot……"
"I was born like this, so what can I do? Besides, before this, have you ever heard that I did something that was unreasonable?"
"No...no..."
The main reason why the old witch was targeted by the Daliang royal family was that she accidentally blew up the fourth prince to death. As a young prince, this little kid should have heard about such a big event. Shen Yi had originally prepared it. Let’s use the story to deceive the other party, and make the fourth prince into a villain who does evil and bullies men and women everywhere while relying on his power, while he is a righteous dragon who opens his mouth to help when he sees injustice.
He didn't expect that the young prince would answer so simply and just say no.
This caused Shen Yi to be a little dazed, but he quickly reacted.
"Hmph, isn't that enough?"
"So you've never eaten anyone?"
"certainly."
"You're not doing evil everywhere?"
"That is."
"My father caught you here just to use you to refine magical tools and elixirs?"
"Um."
"But you can talk, but you are also a monster. If you don't eat people now, you will eat people in the future."
"What are you talking about? I am not a monster, I am a spiritual beast in the mountains!"
"You..." The young prince's eyes were full of doubts about Shen Yi. He looked so terrifying and didn't look like a spiritual beast at all.
"I am originally a spiritual beast. Oh, by the way, let me tell you a secret. You must not tell anyone else."
"What secret?" As soon as he heard it was a secret, the young prince became interested and quickly leaned in to listen.
But Shen Yi continued to act, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something, hesitated, and then said: "Forget it, this secret is too important, so I won't tell it anymore."
"Why are you like this?"
"I can't trust you."
"Then how are you going to tell me?"
"I'll tell you after you get me out."
"I can't save you. Those dog slaves are all my father's people. Except for my father, they will only listen to my brother and not me."
"Then give me a piece of this amber and I can tell you."
"this……"
"If you help me today, I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. If you encounter difficulties in the future, I will try my best. How about it?" When he said this, blood flowed out of Shen Yi's nostrils again. This picture The appearance is really pitiful.
The young prince couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He began to waver. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you!"
"Thank you!"
"But you have to give me the candy after I help you."
"certainly!"
"And there's that secret you have to tell, too."
"Yeah, I will tell you, but you must not tell others. If you tell others, more people will come to arrest me."
"Hey, also, after I help you, you have to swear an oath not to eat people."
"I, Xuan Li, swear here that if I ever eat a human being, I will be struck by lightning, my soul will fly away, and I will never be reincarnated!"
Seeing Shen Yi swearing such a vicious oath, the young prince believed him immediately. After nodding, he said to him: "Your name is Xuan Li?"
"Um."
"Okay, I will call you Xuanli from now on. You wait here, and I will go back and find you a piece of law."
"OK."
"Ok...what does this mean?"
"..."
After that, the young prince got out of the iron gate, and his figure came into view. He didn't know where he went. Shen Yi waited for a while before seeing him outside the iron gate again.
"I'm back."
"Did you find the decree?"
"Um."
The young prince walked up to Shen Yi holding an amber token, stretched out his hand and handed it to him.
Shen Yi blinked.
Shen Yi couldn't move, but couldn't reach out to pick it up.
The young prince reacted quickly and took another step forward.
"where to put?"
"You can find a piece of scale and stick it on for me."
"Oh." According to Shen Yi's wishes, he found a scale on Shen Yi's claws and stuck the rope on the law in his hand.
The moment the scales touched the decree, Shen Yi felt another cool feeling sweep through his brain. The stiffness disappeared and he felt the presence of his body.
He knew that he could move, but he did not start moving immediately. Instead, he first tried to turn his head and look at the back half of his body, remembering his current posture, and then slowly started to stand up from the ground.
Details determine success or failure. In order to escape, he cannot make any mistakes. If anyone detects any clues, he will be finished.
Seeing Shen Yi stand up, the expression on the young prince's face was obviously a little nervous.
Fortunately, Shen Yi didn't do anything to him after he could move. He used his senses to check the items on his body. As expected, the shrinking jade talisman and space earrings were all still on him.
Using his senses to grab a random sugar jar in the storage space, Shen Yi took it out and placed it in front of the young prince.
"As promised, this is candy for you."
"So many! Where did you get them?"
"I conjured it up."
"Can you change more?"
"No, we don't have enough mana."
"Oh." The young prince's face was a little disappointed, but there was still excitement in his eyes. In this ungrateful place, he had not eaten sweets for a long time, so he immediately reached out and took out a candy from the sugar jar and stuffed it. He put it in his mouth, and then asked: "Can you tell me the secret you mentioned?"
"sure."
"What do you say."
Shen Yi's expression became mysterious. He leaned his head over and said something in a very low tone.
"I am a dragon."
"Deaf? What is deaf?"
"You don't know about the Dragon Clan?"
"Dragon clan? I've never heard of it." The young prince shook his head and looked at Shen Yi's confused face.
"Well, the Dragon Clan is an ancient mythical beast. Nowadays, I'm afraid I'm the only one in the Dragon Clan."
"So pitiful... Is this why my father brought you here?"
"No...he just caught me because I was valuable. He didn't know that I was a dragon."
"oh."
"I still have some magic power. If you answer my question, how about I give you an extra candy?"
"Okay! What do you want to ask?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
"I know, this is Huangshaping, where my father's military camp is stationed."
"Huangshaping?" Shen Yi became confused. He had never seen a place like Huangshaping on the old witch's map, so he quickly shook his head: "I'm not asking about this, I'm asking what this place is. What are the boundaries of the state?”
"This is the Great Scenery State."
"ah?"
"What's wrong?"
Shen Yi's mind went blank. Why did he come to Dajing Fengzhou inexplicably?
Following the little prince's voice, he unconsciously took out a candy from the storage space and handed it over.
The other party looked at it after catching it, and returned the candy to Shen Yi the next second.
"What?"
"I also have a question to ask. I'll give you this candy."
"What?"
"Tell me about your dragon clan."
"This... our dragon race is the most powerful race in the world. We can catch the moon from the sky and catch turtles in the sea. We are omnipotent. We have strong bodies and magical powers that can destroy the world. In ancient times, the strongest of you human race saw We are all respectful.”
"You must be bragging!"
"Where is it?"
"If the Dragon Clan is really that perverted, how come you were caught by my father?"
"Tch~ Your father is so strong, why are you such a noob...weak?"
"That's because I'm still young!"
"Isn't this enough?"
"What?"
"Let me ask you, how old are you today?"
"I turn five this September."
"To put it into perspective, I'm not even a year old."
"Impossible! How can you do this when you are so old and you are not even one year old?"
"Originally, I will only turn one year old in June this year. It's just because I'm a dragon and look much older than you humans. If you give me another ten years to grow up, don't talk about your father, even if it's empty. Even the demigods of the highest level are like ants in front of me, they can be destroyed with a snap of a finger."
"I don't believe it unless you swear it!"
"If I lie to you, then the sky will be struck by thunder, your soul will be scattered, and you will never be reincarnated!"
"you……"
"You must remember that what I tell you today is a secret between us. You must not tell anyone else, do you understand?"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand." The young prince nodded solemnly.
"We pull the hook."
"pull."
"Hang yourself with a hook, a hundred years..."
"..."
"...Tell me about other things about the Dragon Clan."
"Well……"
Shen Yi hesitated. How did he know about the Dragon Clan? What he just mentioned was all made up on the fly, and he couldn't make up the history of the Dragon Clan at the same time.
However, regarding the Dragon Clan, it is not only recorded in the Records of the Lost Sky, but also mentioned in some ancient books. Otherwise, the old witch would not know about the Dragon Clan. This is what she told herself personally.
So Shen Yi handed the candy back to the young prince and said, "If you want to know about the Dragon Clan, go read more. The more you read, the more you will understand."
"Reading..." The young prince was a little dissatisfied. He was at the age when he was playful, and reading and writing was his least favorite thing.
But when it came to studying, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he said quickly: "No, the time has come, Xuan Li, I have to leave, otherwise the teacher will hit my hand with a ruler."
After saying that, he picked up the sugar jar, turned around and ran towards the iron gate.
"Wait!" Shen Yi wanted to stop him, but he didn't look back at all. He could only watch as the other party passed through the iron gate and disappeared into the corridor around a corner.
"Fuck!" Shen Yi still has questions to ask, but now he can only wait until next time.
After learning that he was now in Dajing Feng Prefecture, Shen Yi felt a little panicked. The last thing he wanted to see was that the old witch was sent to Wuchuan, Daliang, while he was in Dajing Feng Prefecture. The two sides were far apart. If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
But what can he do? This is not something he can control at all. Like countless people in this world, he prays to the so-called Three Heavenly Gods for blessings in his heart, hoping that things will not be that bad.
And he had just revealed his identity as a dragon to the young prince. Of course, it was not to show off, but to leave a back-up.
After all, Shen Yi didn't know exactly how to escape. If he failed to escape, it would undoubtedly accelerate his own death.
Ordinary people may not know this clearly, but as a Xuan-level venerable, the young prince and his father should know what the Dragon Clan is. After failing to escape, the value and benefits of the Dragon Clan identity may be able to save his own life.
As for the successful escape?
In this case, Shen Yi is undoubtedly digging a hole for himself by exposing his identity as a dragon, but what's the point?
It's nothing more than a bet that the young prince is not strict with his words. Anyway, he will stand out before he dies. (End of chapter)
