Chapter 10 - A Dragon in Li Muyang's Dream!

The fight had thrown the whole place into chaos. There were screams, quick footsteps, loud bangs when things fell to the ground, and the crackling noises as items were broken.

Li Muyang was standing in the center of the chaos, but he remained untouched.

Through his bloodshot eyes, Li Muyang stared at Crow, who had repeatedly pierced his palm and hence triggered his furious response.

“Clang!”

After pushing away the table with a broken leg that was pressing against his legs, Li Muyang walked over to Crow, who had fallen to the ground, step by step.

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

With each step, he put his feet down hard on the ground. Under his feet, those Blue Water leaves and fruits that dropped to the floor crunched loudly.

Li Muyang’s heart could no longer control his actions. It seemed that the irritated monster that hid in his body was driving him to do something crazier.

“Li Muyang!” Cui Xiaoxin got up from the ground and called Li Muyang’s name hurriedly.

The exploded Qi pushed Cui Xiaoxin down, leaving several cuts across her face and hands. Those cuts did not affect her delicate appearance. Instead, she looked more touching and beautiful with them.

Cui Xiaoxin only saw that Li Muyang rushed toward the killer, who had pretended to be a waiter of the Beast-faced Pavilion, then the killer flew out. Meanwhile, a great force threw Cui Xiaoxin against the wall. And slowly, she slipped down the wall.

Cui Xiaoxin felt that her body was about to fall apart, but while gritting her teeth, she still managed to stand up and rush over to Li Muyang.

She didn’t know what had happened, but she knew that Li Muyang was doing something very dangerous.

“You damned fool!” Crow cursed and floated up from the ground.

He didn’t climb up, nor stand up. Without any help, Crow floated there in the air like a ghost.

Crow floated horizontally first and then stood up straight when he was in midair.

While standing in midair, Crow stared fiercely at Li Muyang, who was striding toward him. With an ice-cold voice that sounded as if it were from hell, he said, “What a reckless idiot!”

His right hand waved a few times in the air, and then a door with silver radiance appeared.

Crow muttered something strange. Then, a flock of black crows giving off the smell of death headed toward Li Muyang at high speed.

A large number of crows nearly filled all the space in the Beast-faced Pavilion.

They were silent, but their eyes looked as fierce and greedy as their master’s.

“Flap! Flap! Flap!”

While flapping their wings, the group of crows that looked like a dark cloud was going to envelop Li Muyang. They would gnaw at Li Muyang until there was nothing left of him.

“Evil beasts!” someone thundered all of a sudden.

A round red light ball appeared above Li Muyang’s head. The Beast-faced Pavilion was full of rays of golden light. As soon as those black crows touched the golden light, they would turn into a cloud of black smoke and disperse with the wind.

The golden light lasted for a very long time and faded until all the black crows in the room were turned into black smoke.

Then, the red light ball disappeared, as did the Void Gate that had summoned the black crows.

All the crows vanished, and the dense smoke also faded away.

Crow, the killer, was gone. And even Cui Xiaoxin, who came to the Beast-faced Pavilion with Li Muyang, had also disappeared.

Li Muyang looked around and found that a waitress of the Beast-faced Pavilion, whose face was full of horror, was hiding under the table. He waved at her with his bloody hand and shouted, “Take me to a clinic quickly…”

Before he could finish his words, his head began to spin dizzily.

His eyes dulled, and he slumped to the ground.

…

“You insignificant human beings! You traitors!”

“An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. I will punish you for all your evil intentions in the name of the Heavens.”

“Kill! Kill!”

…

A giant dragon was roaring, and the wildfire was burning.

An enormous figure flying in the air could be seen everywhere in the world. People could not see its whole body but only parts of it. On that figure were pitch-black, hard scales that were covered with flowing clouds and flickering electric patterns. In the firelight, there were the cries and pains as well as the negligible struggles and resistance of humankind. These scales reflected those scenes as clearly as bronze mirrors.

With its breathtaking majesty, the giant figure that could mount the clouds and ride the mist kept destroying cities and countries.

Each time it wagged its tail, a city would perish.

Each time it stretched out its claws, city walls would collapse.

When it opened its mouth, the earth-shattering Dragon Breath would melt everything in its sight.

Flesh and blood of humans, the tall and upright thorn trees that reached to the sky, and the towering city walls made of bricks and tiles, they were turned into ashes in an instant.

Li Muyang was the bystander of this strange world and also the witness of this war.

He was high up in the air as if he were the giant dragon that was doing the slaughtering.

The huge dragon was also aware of his presence, so it swung back and flew toward Li Muyang, carrying along with it wind and thunder.

It tore the dense clouds apart and blew the icy winds away.

Li Muyang could almost feel the heat waves that spurted out of its mouth and could even hear its heart beating in its chest.

Li Muyang strove hard to open his eyes wide, hoping to see the dragon’s appearance clearly.

And Li Muyang saw something! He saw the dragon’s eyes!

The pair of dragon eyes looked very similar to his own eyes.

As Li Muyang was wondering, the giant dragon rushed straight at him and then went into his body with its long tail.

Li Muyang saw with his own eyes that his body was broken open, and then his mind went blank.

“Boom!”

The whole world quieted down.

In addition to the burning sparks that were spreading further into the distance, the rest of the world fell into eternal darkness.

When Li Muyang opened his eyes, the sun was shining brightly outside of the window. On a huge silk tree, a colorful bird was dancing and chirping joyfully as if it were celebrating Li Muyang’s recovery.

In June, Jiangnan City was hot but had an elegant style, like a graceful woman in a thick, long robe. Though the airtight robe had covered her up, this woman did not make others feel gloomy.

The women in Jiangnan City were pretty and natural, who were a pleasant sight without makeup.

Li Sinian was a representative in this regard.

Except for her messy hair and dirty face, Li Sinian also had dark circles under her bloodshot eyes. But still, she stared at Li Muyang without blinking.

Therefore, the moment Li Muyang opened his eyes, he caught Li Sinian’s big, watery eyes.

“Brother!” Li Sinian called him happily in surprise. “You woke up! Are you all right? Is there anything wrong? Wait a minute. I’m going to call the doctor…”

Without giving Li Muyang a chance to say a word, she immediately turned around and was about to run outside.

Li Muyang stretched out to stop her, but he found that his right arm was tied up so tight that he couldn’t move it at all.

Fortunately, his mouth was fine, so he shouted in a hurry, “Li Sinian!”

She turned around, looked at Li Muyang, and asked, “Brother, what’s up?”

“Wait,” said Li Muyang, trying to show her a big grin. However, when he realized that his face was also wrapped with strips of gauze, he was greatly frightened and asked, “My face… Is it all right?”

“Brother…” Li Sinian’s face darkened. She was about to say something but then hesitated.

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, “It’s okay. Anyway, I’m ugly. Perhaps, my disfigured face is a chance for me to be reborn as someone else…”

“Brother…” while shaking her head, Li Sinian looked at Li Muyang and said, “there’s nothing wrong with your face. But since your forehead is a little swollen, the doctor has wrapped your whole head up to make you look better.”

“Then why did you look so sad?” Li Muyang asked in confusion.

“I suggested finding the best doctor in the empire for you so that he could adjust your face in passing. In that case, when you woke up, we could give you a big surprise.” Li Sinian said bitterly, “But they all disagreed.”

“…” Li Muyang had nothing to say.

“Brother, don’t worry.” Li Sinian came over and stroked Li Muyang’s injured right hand. She looked at his eyes and said seriously, “When I can work to make money in the future, I will definitely invite the most famous doctor in the empire to do plastic surgery on you…”

“Is my appearance that bad?” Suddenly, Li Muyang felt a throbbing pain when he breathed.

“It’s okay.” Li Sinian grinned. She put her arms around Li Muyang’s shoulder and said, “Anyway, I am used to seeing your face. Even if people in the whole world think that you are ugly, I will only feel that they are blind.”

“You are indeed my good sister.” Li Muyang looked very happy. Then, a little embarrassedly, he looked at Li Sinian and said, “I want to ask you a question, but you are not allowed to laugh at me.”

“Brother, trust me. You have been a poor guy for so many years, but have I ever laughed at you?” While patting her chest, Li Sinian assured him.

“Are you sure that you will not laugh at me?” Li Muyang asked.

“I’m sure,” Li Sinian answered.

“Well…” Li Muyang blushed a little, avoiding eye contact with Li Sinian, and he asked in a weak voice, “Do you think that I look like a giant dragon?”

“Hahahaha…” Li Sinian burst into laughter.
