All the hollow eye sockets of the dragon bones suddenly lit up with a dim blue glow. Although lifeless, it filled her with a suffocating sensation! Their colossal bodies towered above, surrounding her in the center!
"Intruders of the Dragon Abyss! Perish!"
A deep, powerful voice, filled with majesty, boomed forth. The sound echoed through the entire Dragon Abyss, causing even the air to churn and tremble!
An inexplicable force compelled Jin Bao'er to swallow, her face paling. She was too terrified to even move… Facing such an unshakeable behemoth was something she had never imagined in her life!
"Senior, please wait! I mean no harm!"
A dry sentence, utterly devoid of credibility! Yet, it was all she could utter as she suppressed her fear! After all, in the face of absolute power, anything she said was pointless!
However, as soon as she spoke, the voice paused, and the giant dragon in the center slightly turned its head…
In an instant, all the bone dragons' eyes seemed to fix upon her!
So, they hadn't been looking at her just moments ago?
Before she could snap out of her shock, the largest bone dragon's head slowly lowered, approaching the tiny figure on the ground… its tone laced with surprise!
"You… are not of the dragon race?"
Jin Bao'er was stunned! What did that mean? They couldn't tell if she was a dragon? No… that wasn't right! If they couldn't tell, then their previous declaration should have been directed at her…
But… why? She truly wasn't a dragon!
Before she could recover, the colossal forms stirred with surprise, whispering amongst themselves.
"Not of the dragon race? Their aura is quite similar!"
"They must be of the dragon race! I can sense some dragon might!"
"That's strange, why would a female of the dragon race be with the phoenix clan?"
"Could they be a hybrid?"
"…"
However, what appeared as murmurs to them was like thunder to Jin Bao'er! Her ears roared, and she heard every word clearly!
She couldn't help but ponder. Was it because of the soul contract she had with Long Li Xing? That's why she was mistaken? After all, it was their only connection, it had to be correct!
Just then!
"Silence!"
The voice of the bone dragon head, filled with authority, spoke out, and instant silence fell upon the surroundings! Clearly, the bone dragon with the largest head was the most influential elder in the Dragon Abyss!
"Which dragon clan do you belong to, female? And why are you here?"
At this question, Jin Bao'er's eyes widened slightly, and she instinctively retorted.
"You are mistaken! I am not of the dragon race…" female!
Her words cut off abruptly! Her expression became hesitant as she thought of Long Li Xing and their ambiguous relationship. In that case, it seemed she *could* be considered a dragon female…
Besides, this identity seemed to be the most effective right now!
"I suppose… I am, in a way!"
Recalling the scene where they had discussed it last time, and she had almost agreed, she felt a sense of release.
"In a way?"
The colossal bone dragon questioned with a hint of menacing displeasure!
Sensing this, Jin Bao'er quickly looked up and said.
"To be frank, we haven't officially established our relationship yet, which is why… However, my sudden arrival here was not my intention. I was drawn in by a summoning array, which led me to this place. I hope you will forgive me, seniors."
She spoke with utmost sincerity, her tone filled with respect and firmness…
"So that's how it is! No wonder!"
"Huh, does that mean she's actually human?"
"Human~ Have the current dragon princes and princesses' tastes fallen this low? Aren't mother dragons appealing enough?" a white dragon asked incredulously!
"Exactly! Mother dragons are strong enough, and it's easier to have offspring. Why choose a mere human girl?" a red dragon scoffed!
"Hmph, in any case, such poor taste can't possibly be from our red dragon clan! It's probably from the azure dragon lineage!" a blue dragon sneered!
"What do you mean? What's wrong with the azure dragon lineage? Doesn't the azure dragon lineage have more descendants than your red dragon clan!" an azure dragon retorted angrily!
"Hey, little one, what's the name of that dragon?"
A colossal dragon whose single bone socket emanated a faint golden hue spoke, sounding quite curious!
Jin Bao'er's face darkened: …
For some reason, she felt like she had met her potential in-laws and was being looked down upon by all her distant relatives! Was she that bad?!
However, they were the dragons, usually aloof and majestic, and not as difficult to deal with as she had imagined… Overall, she could accept it! But to expect her to maintain the same good attitude as before was impossible!
She straightened her back, her expression calm and indifferent, her tone laced with a hint of gritted teeth!
"Junior Jin Bao'er, I apologize for not being strong enough!! The dragon you all speak of with such poor taste is named Long Li Xing!"
Despite her tone, the numerous colossal dragons paid no mind to her attitude and began to discuss.
Perhaps because no one had spoken for so long, the bone dragons seemed exceptionally excited.
"Long Li Xing? What a strange name! Never heard of it!" a red dragon mused!
"So flashy, our azure dragon clan has no such hobbies!" an azure dragon objected!
"It sounds like a sissy! It definitely wouldn't be from our blue dragon lineage!" a blue dragon declared decisively!
"Hey… what do you mean? Are you implying it's from our white dragon lineage! Ours is called magnificent and high-class! What sissy! You'd better explain yourself clearly!"
The white dragon was furious. Even without discernible expressions on its bone form, its indignant tone clearly conveyed its displeasure!
Jin Bao'er lowered her gaze, utterly speechless, and rubbed her sore neck… The legendary noble and powerful dragons were actually this group of beings!
"Hmph, whoever responded is the one it applies to! What, you're not satisfied? Want to fight?"
The white dragon, in its anger, violently swished its tail, ready to charge into a fight!
As a tiny figure at the feet of the bone dragons, Jin Bao'er leaped backward upon hearing this. Before she even landed, she distinctly felt the ground vibrate. She quickly steadied herself upon landing.
"Enough! To be so impulsive in front of a junior, are you not ashamed to be a dragon?!"
The massive bone dragon spoke with authority, its tone stern and commanding, forcing the two dragons to cease their aggression.
However, both sides still let out displeased snorts! Although they had no expressions, Jin Bao'er inexplicably felt that their current expressions must have been brimming with fighting spirit!
Following that, the bone dragon shifted its gaze to Jin Bao'er and said gravely.
"No dragon has entered the Dragon Abyss for over three hundred years. To leave this place, unless a dragon perishes, the gate to this world will not open…"
"Unless… your male companion is willing to sacrifice his life to open the gate, otherwise, you will spend your entire life here!"
As soon as the words fell, Jin Bao'er's head shot up, her brows furrowed tightly! To spend her entire life here? What a joke! Let alone the lack of spiritual energy here, even if there were spiritual energy, it would be devoured. She probably wouldn't live for even ten years!
