What was a dragon?
Dragons could be big or small, they could rise or hide. When large, they could breathe out mist. When small, they could hide. When they rose, they could soar through the universe. When they hid, they could hide within the waves. When it was late spring, the dragon could ride the changes.
When they grew scales and claws, their bodies were invincible.
When they soared, they could breathe out dragon breath.
That was a dragon.
They were born demigods, the strongest in the world.
How could they bow and scrape for fear of death, and remain silent out of fear of being alone?
"Li Muyang." Spiritual master Ziyang had a look of disappointment on his face, pointing to Li Muyang. "Who can help you if you do this? Do you really want to be alone for the rest of your life and become the only dragon in the world? "
Li Muyang understood Qiandu and Spiritual Master Zi Yang's concerns.
Killing humans, killing humans in public, this was a great taboo.
This would only make those human beings hate you even more and cause irreconcilable conflicts and hatred between the humankind and the dragon-kind.
"If you treat me well, I'll treat you well. If you treat me badly, I'll treat you badly. This is the most basic principle and principle of human interaction. But why do dragons need to be treated differently? "Li Muyang looked at Spiritual Master Zi Yang and asked.
"Just because I'm a dragon and have a dragon in me, I have to be inferior to humans? I don't fight back, I don't fight back, I don't scold back. When others spit on my face, I can only wipe the spit off myself. I smile and say it's okay … Why do you need someone like me, who is regarded as a dragon, to do something that humans can't do? "
"When I was young, my mother taught me that I should know my limits and have dignity. Only when you live with dignity and decency can you be a living person. Not a slave or a target of discrimination … As a member of the Dragon Race, shouldn't it be the same? If you live without dignity, you're a failure, whether you're a human or a dragon. Such a life is better than death, isn't it? "
"But do you know …"
"I know," Li Muyang looked into Spiritual Master Zi Yang's eyes and said, "Grandpa, I know what you're worried about. However, I knew better than anyone else that you shouldn't think of yourself as a dragon. You shouldn't think of yourself as a strange creature. Only then can you truly integrate with the human race. Even you yourself think that you are a different kind of person, that you are not the same as them … In that case, the more you try, the more it will push the relationship between you and them further apart. "
"Also, when someone insults you, you have to scold them back. When someone wants to kill you, you chop off his head … This is how humans interact, and it is also suitable for the Dragon Clan. " Li Muyang looked at the corpse at his feet and said, "If I don't kill him, there will be more people spitting on my face. When the number of people increased, I couldn't kill them, and they began to raise their butcher knives to kill me. If I hadn't killed them then … I would have been torn to pieces by them. I want to be kind to others, but they will think that my fate is lower than theirs. "
"So, I killed him." Li Muyang used his foot to kick the corpse on the ground. "He also had to die."
Spiritual Master Zi Yang looked at Li Muyang with a dull expression. After a long, long time, he sighed deeply and said, "I hope you understand."
With that, he turned and walked back in the direction he came from.
His footsteps were extremely fast, and his movements were like smoke.
Li Muyang looked at Qiandu and said, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Qiandu nodded vigorously and said, "Very. It can't be better. "
"I promise that no one will spit on my face again," Li Muyang whispered.
A smile appeared on Qiandu's lips and she said, "I think so too. But if someone spits on your face again, I'll help you wipe it. Don't be in a hurry to kill. "
"Okay." Li Muyang nodded in agreement.
Just as Li Muyang expected, after Li Muyang killed the brother called 'Zhang Dajun', everyone backed away in fear, and avoided eye contact with Li Muyang for fear of making eye contact with Li Muyang.
If you can't make people love you, then work hard to make people ignore you.
If you can't do both, then let them be afraid of you. This was the safest thing to do.
Under Qiandu's leadership, the two walked along the blood-stained stone steps and ascended to the broken tower of Wind City, which had been reduced to ashes in some places.
Above the tower, a young general in black armor and an eagle helmet was commanding the countless demon eagle army to lift boulders to repair the city wall.
"Use your strength, fill that hole for me — — leaving such a big gap, do you want them to shoot your head with arrows?"
"What are you guys doing? Work harder, do you still want to eat meat at noon? "
"If you can repair this section of the city wall for me today, each person will be rewarded with a bottle of Wind City wine — — that wine is very strong, I feel dizzy just smelling it — —"

The young general inadvertently turned around and saw Li Muyang and Qiandu standing behind him. The corners of his mouth drew back, and he quickly walked over to the two.
He bowed to Qiandu and said with a smile, "Sister Wang, it's freezing cold, you should go back to the house and rest. I'll keep an eye on it, those guys can't be lazy. "
Qiandu reached out to help him wipe the dust off his shoulder. "You're not afraid of the cold, what should I be afraid of?"
"That's true. Sister Wang has the glass mirror to protect you, what is a little wind and snow? "The man grinned, revealing two dimples on his cheeks. His smile was extremely beautiful.
"Smooth talker." Qiandu chided softly.
"Hey, I learned it from someone — —"
As the young general spoke, his line of sight shifted to Li Muyang.
His eyes were like a knife, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to small, sizing up Li Muyang again and again.
Finally, his line of sight rested on Li Muyang's face, as he said helplessly, "When I was at Starry Sky Academy, I was thinking that when you found out the true identity of me and sister Wang, you would be shocked, stare at Qiandu and say, Qiandu, I didn't expect you to be the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court. Then look at me with a face full of shock and say, I didn't expect you to be the Prince of the Dark Flame Empire — — You're just a commoner with no family background, but the people you associate with are good friends like me and Qiandu. But what I didn't expect was that when we met again, it was me and Qiandu who were shocked — — Of course, it may be just me. I didn't expect that Li Muyang, who I eat, live, and go to the library with in Starry Sky Academy, is a dragon — — Tell me, in the entire divine continent, who else is more rare, delicate, and different than you? "
"— —"
Qiandu rebuked the young general, "Canghai, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Sister Wang, I didn't say anything wrong." Lin Canghai said with a wry smile.
Seeing Qiandu's displeased expression, Lin Canghai did not dare to disobey this sister Wang who had been extremely strict with him since childhood.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Muyang into his arms, saying softly, "We're together again, that's great."
