Chapter 234: The National Beast Returns to Its Place

In his impression, the Golden Dragon was noble and imposing, with a powerful presence in every movement. The people would always leave with their heads lowered and trembling after paying their respects, afraid of angering the Golden Dragon.

Now, seeing the Golden Dragon covered in wounds, Li Chunfeng couldn’t help but recall the scene from his dream, where the dragon was crying with tears. Could it be real?

The Golden Dragon snorted coldly. Li Chunfeng was being such a fool, why was he so shocked?

It had only been beaten by its father. Which child doesn’t get beaten by their own father while growing up? How can one grow up without a beating?

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed through the sky, and the Golden Dragon shivered. Oh no, father is coming after it again. It didn’t want to be beaten, so it ran, quickly ran, wuwuwu.

With a whoosh, the Golden Dragon vanished from sight.

Clang!

Li Chunfeng heard the sound of something crashing, as if the Golden Dragon had hit something.

“Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng.” Hu Zhan entered tremblingly. The rooms were next to each other, and it was dark inside. Hu Zhan searched for a while but couldn’t find Li Chunfeng.

A noise came from under the table. Li Chunfeng stretched out a hand, “I’m here.”

“Why are you hiding under the table?”

Li Chunfeng’s face darkened, pretending to be calm, “It’s cold.”

He couldn’t say he was scared by the Golden Dragon, that would be too embarrassing.

“Huh? Isn’t it warmer under the blanket than under the table?”

“What do you want?” Li Chunfeng asked, slightly impatient.

“I saw the Golden Dragon run away just now, and our National Beast also ran away. Did you see them?”

Li Chunfeng, hidden in the dark, twitched his lips.

Hu Zhan continued, “Even our carriage was smashed by the two National Beasts. How are we going to get back?”

“What?” Li Chunfeng was startled. So the noise he heard earlier was the Golden Dragon smashing the carriage.

Hu Zhan nodded, “It’s a mess. You don’t know, but our National Beast is also covered in big lumps and has lost several patches of skin, like it was beaten severely. It’s really bizarre.”

Silver Dragon was usually the most imposing. Their emperor and the people all treated the National Beast with great respect and care.

Li Chunfeng thought of the bruised and battered Golden Dragon…

“What about the Two-headed Dragon?”

Hu Zhan waved his hand and sighed, “Don’t mention it. Right now, Leng Qingliu is treating the Two-headed Dragon. It’s said that all four eyes are in terrible condition.”

“Did all three National Beasts get struck by lightning?”

Dragons can turn into real dragons, so they shouldn’t fear lightning, right?

Hu Zhan: “Who knows?”

“No, I need to quickly check the carriage.” Li Chunfeng didn’t believe Hu Zhan and thought he was talking nonsense. Battling the wind and rain, he went outside to see the carriage had been smashed beyond recognition, even the wheels were gone.

Li Chunfeng was stunned. The National Beasts had gone mad, abandoning the carriage and fleeing into the night!

Suddenly, the storm stopped, and golden light filled the entire sky, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the entire Tiansheng Dynasty. For a moment, it was as bright as day, blinding everyone’s eyes.

“What is that…?” Li Chunfeng stood at the door, rubbing his eyes.

Hu Zhan murmured, astonished, “It looks like Dragon Light.”

At this time, the streets were filled with people shouting in amazement. The people who had already gone inside their homes rushed out, wrapping themselves in clothes.

Through the walls, loud screams could be heard from the streets.

“The Temple is glowing.”

“The Divine Dragon has manifested.”

“Ah, ah, ah, the National Beasts, the Temple is covered by Dragon Light, the National Beasts have returned, the Divine Dragon is back, our Tiansheng Dynasty has a National Beast now.”

“Is it the Divine Dragon? Our Tiansheng Dynasty’s National Beast is the Divine Dragon! Wuwuwu, divine blessings, heavenly protection!”

Li Chunfeng’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, “National Beast… Divine Dragon?”

Hu Zhan, trembling, pointed at the golden light in the sky, “Our Tiansheng Dynasty has a National Beast now, it’s the Divine Dragon, it it it—”

It had actually chosen to become the National Beast of the Tiansheng Dynasty. Among the Seven Nations, the Divine Dragon had chosen the one ranked last.

“There’s no National God, so how could the National Beast appear alone? This is a mess, a complete mess.” Li Chunfeng wanted to cry but had no tears. The revered Divine Dragon of the Seven Nations had become the National Beast of the Tiansheng Dynasty. Who would dare say the Tiansheng Dynasty was last without a National Beast now?

In Yihe Palace, Ah Bao had been woken from her nap by the chaotic noise outside.

With the Divine Dragon becoming the National Beast, not only were the people excited, but the entire palace was also stirred up.

In the middle of the night, the emperor urgently summoned all civil and military officials to the palace.

“Empress, His Majesty has sent word for you to take the little princess to the Temple.”

Concubine De had just laid down when Zhilan woke her up. She quickly got dressed and asked in surprise, “What’s happening in the palace?”

Zhilan replied, “The National Beast has returned.”

Concubine De was shocked, “Is it the Divine Dragon?”

Zhilan cried tears of joy, “Yes, yes.”

Concubine De was stunned. Ah Bao had said she wanted the Divine Dragon to become the National Beast, but she hadn’t expected it to actually be true.

Concubine De turned and entered the inner room, “Ah Bao…”

Ah Bao had already woken up, sitting on the bed groggily, rubbing her eyes, “Liang Qin, are we going to the palace?”

She had originally planned to go to the Luo residence at midnight.

Now, with an hour still to go until midnight.

Concubine De dressed Ah Bao and picked her up, heading outside, “Yes, your father said we should go to the Temple.”

[Oh, why go to the Temple at this hour?]

“Tonight is not peaceful. It rained, and there was a lot of thunder and lightning. I didn’t expect the Divine Dragon to return and become the National Beast of our Tiansheng Dynasty.” Concubine De’s words revealed her excitement.

She spoke as she carried Ah Bao out of Yihe Palace.

Ah Bao’s little head rested on Concubine De’s shoulder, silently watching the dazzling golden light in the sky.

[It seems Hua Hua successfully taught those three dragon cubs a lesson. I just saw the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon crying and running away. Hua Hua is such a strict father, haha.]

Concubine De’s heart leapt to her throat. The National Beasts of the Fire, Earth, and Feng Nations were actually the children of the Divine Dragon?

No wonder the three dragons had become so docile after seeing the Divine Dragon in the great hall.

When they arrived at the Temple, the Tiansheng Emperor, along with civil and military officials and the citizens of the capital, had already arrived.

The Temple was still dark, but the Divine Dragon Wall in front of the Temple was shining brightly with golden light.

At this moment, the Divine Dragon, soaring in the sky, was silently sweeping the Temple grounds with its tail, clearing the fallen leaves from the storm.

The Tiansheng Emperor rubbed his eyes.

An elder from the cabinet whispered to the Emperor, “Your Majesty, is that… the Divine Dragon?”

He hoped he wasn’t seeing things.

The Tiansheng Emperor nodded.

“What is the Divine Dragon doing? It seems like… it’s sweeping the ground?”

The imposing and majestic Divine Dragon was using its noble tail to sweep the ground.

No one could understand the Divine Dragon’s thoughts. It wanted to stay by its little master’s side, but the palace was a forbidden place, and its little master wouldn’t let it in. It had no choice but to stay at the Temple, which was also fine.
