Little Night flapped its wings, looking curiously at Cui Hongtai, who was caught in its grasp. Its eyes flickered with curiosity.
It found this little guy in its claws quite strange—although he was human, his appearance was bizarre, and he exuded a faint dark elemental aura.
Little Night regarded him like a child studying a toy, completely unconcerned.
Cui Hongtai was stunned at first, but soon realized that no matter what this creature was, being trapped in its claws was definitely bad news.
He roared, struggling desperately to break free.
However, the more he struggled, the more he realized the terrifying strength of this massive beast holding him!
His own power was insignificant before this dragon—barely even a flicker of resistance.
He was like a mosquito caught in a fist; no matter how much he flailed, he would be crushed easily.
Little Night didn't even feel Cui Hongtai's struggles. Its crimson dragon eyes blinked as it examined him carefully. Probably due to Little Night's increased power, its grip was gentle yet firm enough that Cui Hongtai's body sounded like popping beans.
Bones inside him cracked repeatedly. Not only his bones, but his bronze dragon spear was crushed in Little Night's claws, severely deformed and essentially destroyed.
If even bronze couldn't withstand Little Night's strength, how could Cui Hongtai?
There was none of the fierce energy Cui Hongtai had just gained from Jin Zhu's buff. He spat a mouthful of fresh blood and painfully called out, "Little Princess… save me…"
Only now did Jin Zhu come back to her senses. She stared at this enormous beast, unwilling to believe it was truly a dragon.
Her urgent priority was to rescue Cui Hongtai—if anything happened to him, she'd be defenseless, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Frantically, Jin Zhu waved her staff and cast a spell.
But this time, she wasn't buffing Cui Hongtai; instead, she was trying to cast a debuff on Little Night.
With black dragon bloodline flowing through it, Little Night was completely immune to debuffs.
The black aura Jin Zhu sent surged at Little Night but was stopped by its scales, having no effect.
However, Jin Zhu's spell did catch Little Night's attention.
As a dragon, Little Night despised and rejected curse-based dark magic.
Seeing Jin Zhu use such low-level magic provoked Little Night's anger.
Losing all interest in Cui Hongtai, Little Night casually slammed him to the ground and roared fiercely at Jin Zhu, who was still casting.
"Roar!"
Little Night didn't unleash its molten lava breath—otherwise, Jin Zhu might have been burned to ashes.
Instead, the roar created a powerful wind blast, knocking Jin Zhu off her feet.
Beating its wings twice, Little Night landed before Jin Zhu, looking down at her from above.
Jin Zhu scrambled up just in time to see this terrifying sight, her face drained of color, screaming as she retreated frantically.
"Y-you… what are you?! Stay away from me!"
Lu Fan slowly approached Jin Zhu, full of disdain. He patted Little Night's body and sneered, "Princess Jin, you're quite something—always boasting that only your Taiji Kingdom has dragon tamers, but when faced with a real dragon, you don't even recognize one."
"T-this… this really is a dragon?!" Jin Zhu trembled, filled with shock and disbelief.
"How could this be?! How could anyone besides our Jin family possibly have a second dragon in the world…"
"Heh!" Lu Fan sneered, spitting on the ground, "The one your Jin family calls a dragon? Don't insult the 'dragon race' by calling that a dragon!"
With that, Lu Fan stepped forward again, deliberately unhurried as he approached Jin Zhu.
Jin Zhu was powerful, but her class favored support—buffing allies and debuffing enemies. With Cui Hongtai sprawled on the ground like sludge, she could barely show half her strength.
Besides, Little Night had thoroughly terrified her, completely freezing her fighting spirit.
Seeing Lu Fan advancing, she only shook and retreated in fear.
"What… what do you want?! I'm the Taiji Kingdom's little princess! You hit my subordinate and me—you know what Taiji Kingdom will…"
"Hit you? So what if I hit you?!" Lu Fan showed no mercy. Reaching Jin Zhu, he slapped her hard across the face.
The sharp slap sounded crisp. Jin Zhu staggered but didn't fly back—Lu Fan controlled his strength precisely.
That slap left Jin Zhu's other cheek swelling immediately.
Lu Fan sneered coldly, "That slap's for teaching you a lesson about knowing your place. Just some Taiji Kingdom nobodies, coming here to our Dragon Kingdom and acting all high and mighty!"
