Chapter 300: The Draconic Wyverns

But...

Perrafin presumed Lee Shen's decision to take the triplets with him. Shyly, she walked to Lee Shen who's eyes were still scanning the Draconic Wyverns' insanely powerful and unique anatomy.

*purrs*

A soft purr like a kitten and Lee turned around to see the feline face of Zena. It had a peculiar expression as if she mildly disagrees with Lee.

Lee Shen couldn't figure out the reason right away, but a second later, his knit brows relaxed after comprehending the reason.

"Why don't we all fly together? Your elder siblings would be happy."

Lee Shen spoke in an excited tone and Perrafin's face brightened. It at once licked Lee Shen's face and jumped all around him ecstatic.

*growl*

Pyro let out a lazy growl and everybody heard it. The relatively threatening sound woke Fero and Hudson up from their nap and D peeked out of the sword. Cryo and Aero peek opened one of their eyes and started at Pyro.

But only Lee Shen could hear the embedded message in that expression.

{We are all males, Lee Shen.}

An atomic bomb of surprise blew up in Lee's mind and the resultant mushroom cloud made him not breathe for almost 10 seconds.

When Pyro transmitted an embedded message through a simple growl, Lee Shen was as if struck by lightning.

He had communicated with both Zena and Fero telepathically, but the possibility of this kind of active dialogue with a creature never crossed his mind.

When the beast addressed him by his name, the surprise doubled. Apparently, after the reconstruction, these three have upgraded their intellect to a whole new level, Lee deduced.

He also found that the beast has a sense of identity which means that either the soulbond had weakened or this is an after-effect of the reconstruction.

Still, the art of embedding a message inside a noise to transmit was incomprehensible to Lee Shen no matter how many times he spun his head around it!

Lee Shen decided not to pursue this trait and elongate the conversation. He was afraid that if he had asked to justify the claim, the beast might display his reconstructed sexual organ that could make the women go crazy!

Thus, gulping down his saliva, Lee nodded with a wryly smile. He quickly averted his sight and focused on warming up before flight.

----

"I am glad my skills are not rusty."

As the sword drew an invisible line in the air, Lee Shen slowly executed his actions in slow motion. Hudson and Zena saw beads of sweat dripping from his chin. His dress soaked in sweat constantly gave discomfort to him, which made Lee Shen tear apart and throw away in one pull.

'I should have done this earlier.'

Without dwelling on the torn tee-shirt, he picked up speed.

D, inside the sword, regulated the aura of the weapon which enabled Lee to swing it without worry. Had D not done this, the subspace would have been shredded by now.

[My control over sword aura is at the pinnacle!]

D exclaimed from the sword and his words marked a happy response on Hudson's face. Lee continued to chop the air without remorse and his motion picked up speed.

But...

His pace only lasted a few minutes and began to breathe heavily. Dropping the sword on the ground, Lee Shen plopped down on the grass.

"Now...I see...why she said...that...the last...10%...is...time-consuming!!"

Lee completed his sentence in between his breaths. His chest moved up and down in rhythm and displayed his weariness in a single glance.

After almost a minute, he stood up and walked to the house. After taking a quick bath, Lee Shen felt incredibly energetic.

Quickly designing an ordinary adventurer's outfit, he wore them and felt the presence of a second skin which was comfortable in nature.

Without wasting a second, he stepped outside the house. At the very moment, the hourly notification appeared in front of him.

=====

10 AM.

5,977,030 Essence harvested.

=====

A quick skim over the panel and it disappeared under his mental command.

"Boys!"

Lee Shen shouted like a platoon commander and the Draconic Wyverns came stepping towards him. Their prideful stature somehow faltered Lee Shen's mind for a fraction of a second, and he reflected that his resolve has weakened greatly.

Cryo lowered his head and Lee Shen climbed onto his horns. It took him almost half a minute to figure out how to sit on them and after sitting, Lee felt a faint coldness under his buttocks.

"Shall we?"

Not bothering the sensation, Lee sounded excited as he shot a glance at Hudson. At this act, Hudson nodded and turned around.

When Hudson waved his hand, the spatial fabrics of the subspace was distorted and a portal was formed. It was huge enough for a Draconic Wyvern to pass without any worry.

The portal took a moment to stabilise and the System Space was connected to the main dimension of Zaxaluke.

"Stay out o-"

Swish!

Hudson's words were cut short by Aero's wing beat as he zoomed past Hudson and disappeared into the portal. Following him, Pyro and Cryo took off from the ground.

'Too fast, too fast!'

Lee Shen almost fell from his seat when the Draconic Wyverns accelerated. Until now, he had only seen them gently skimming through the air and flapping the forelimbs while flying modestly.

Fortunately, lady luck smiled on Lee Shen as they slowed down.

Aero, flying up in front was accompanied by Zena and the two other boys following his tail. The beast of Air affinity turned his head all around and then suddenly took a right angle manoeuvre.

[I am surprised to see that these beasts could identify the directions.]

'Of course, they can. They were brought into the System Space from the main dimension.

And since the twin stars are burning bright, this beast could use their peculiar instincts to find the correct direction.'

[So you already told them the directions.]

'No. I thought you did.'

An awkward silence befell them.
