Chapter 1041: Living with Two Dragons in the House
"So, why exactly did we bring this guy back?"
Inside Lingyun's house, Liuli looked at the Great Red, who was curiously observing the room, a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
Within the Dimensional Gap, after Lingyun told the Great Red that her head would be cut off by someone, the Great Red had indeed fallen into a period of silence. But after Lingyun stated he was leaving, for some unknown psychological reason, the Great Red had actually followed him.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Great Red; even Ophis herself did not remain in the Dimensional Gap, but instead followed Lingyun and the others back to this house.
"It's just taking in two dragons!" Lingyun shrugged indifferently.
In fact, he somewhat understood why both the Great Red and Ophis had followed; after all, Lingyun had previously displayed the form of a dragon as well. Furthermore, in that state, both Ophis's Infinite and the Great Red's Dream resonated with Lingyun, and coupled with the strength Lingyun displayed that was on the same level as theirs, it all made them feel curious.
In this world, the more powerful a dragon is, the purer it is. Driven by this curiosity, both Ophis and the Great Red chose to temporarily leave the Dimensional Gap and follow Lingyun to the place where he resided in this world.
"It's just taking in two dragons? But are these dragons just ordinary dragons?" Tachiro Shirone, who was to the side, couldn't help but retort.
One had to know, the two dragons Lingyun had taken in were the two most powerful existences in this world. If it became known that such existences had appeared in Kuo Town, one could only imagine what kind of turmoil it would cause. More importantly, Ophis, as the Infinite Dragon God, had another identity in this world: the leader of the Khaos Brigade. And what kind of existence was the Khaos Brigade? They were the greatest enemy of the Three Great Factions at present. The leader of a hostile faction appearing in one's own territory would undoubtedly cause an unimaginable storm.
"Rest assured, to Ophis, the Khaos Brigade is merely a tool created to reclaim the Eternal Silence. Now that I am here, the Khaos Brigade is an expendable existence to Ophis. Getting Ophis to abandon the Khaos Brigade is a very simple matter," Lingyun said with a smile.
"Things aren't as easy as you make them sound!" Tachiro Shirone retorted once again.
"No, this kind of thing might be even easier than you imagine!" Lingyun said with a shrug.
"Kin, you want me to abandon the Khaos Brigade?" Ophis suddenly turned her head toward Lingyun.
"What if I said that is indeed the case?" Lingyun said softly.
Ophis stared at Lingyun without blinking, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to become heavy in an instant. Tachiro Shirone, to the side, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and even her cat ears and tail, which she had been hiding, appeared at this moment.
"If it is the request of kin... I agree," Ophis tilted her head and said indifferently.
"Eh?" Hearing Ophis's words, Tachiro Shirone couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
From this period of time, she had also learned some information about the Khaos Brigade, and naturally, she knew Ophis's status within it. Under these circumstances, Ophis had actually made a declaration to abandon the Khaos Brigade; wasn't this the enemy leader announcing a defection first?
"That's right, you see, things are just that simple," Lingyun said, spreading his hands.
In fact, Ophis making such a choice was entirely within Lingyun's expectations. The reason the Khaos Brigade appeared was because Ophis wanted to use their power to defeat the Great Red, and after Lingyun appeared, Ophis already had a better choice. Under these circumstances, the weight of the Khaos Brigade, which had never shown any particularly important value, versus Lingyun, was naturally completely different in Ophis's eyes. If she could obtain Lingyun's help, abandoning the Khaos Brigade was not something worth agonizing over for Ophis.
"Hmm, kin, this thing, it looks quite interesting. Is it what is called a dessert in this world?"
The Great Red, who had snuck into the kitchen at some point, emerged after some rummaging, carrying a plate from the kitchen. On the plate was the very dessert Lingyun had made earlier. After this plate of dessert was brought out by the Great Red, a faint, lingering fragrance began to spread throughout the room.
When this plate of dessert was brought out, Lingyun could clearly feel Ophis's little nose twitch, as if she had caught onto something.
Ophis's gaze moved gently, finally landing on the plate of dessert in the Great Red's hands, and a rare flicker of emotional fluctuation appeared in her eyes.
Noticing Ophis's subtle emotional fluctuation, a hint of a smile flashed in Lingyun's eyes. He had looked into what conditions were needed to abduct an Infinite Cute Dragon, and how to get the Infinite Cute Dragon to return to the Eternal Silence; this was one method, and the other method was dessert. After all, this Infinite Cute Dragon was, in a sense, a little foodie!
In fact, Lingyun did not want Ophis to return to the Dimensional Gap; after all, that situation felt far too lonely. Moreover, the Dimensional Gap was, in a way, quite a dangerous place. After all, even the Great Red, who was a notch stronger than Ophis, had her head cut off in the Dimensional Gap, didn't she? And the person who cut off the Great Red's head had Ophis as their next target, which in itself was an extremely dangerous thing for Ophis. Under these circumstances, Lingyun chose to keep this cute dragon by his side.
However, getting Ophis to give up returning to the Dimensional Gap was not an easy task. What Lingyun needed to do now was to let Ophis experience a life completely different from the past. After all, Ophis had previously focused all her attention on reclaiming the Dimensional Gap and naturally never bothered to care about what this world was actually like.
And now that Ophis had Lingyun by her side, reclaiming the Dimensional Gap was no longer an impossible thing. Under these circumstances, as long as Lingyun provided a little guidance, he could let Ophis experience a completely different living environment. If, under these circumstances, Ophis still chose to return to the Dimensional Gap, Lingyun would naturally not stop her, but if Ophis had other thoughts, wouldn't Lingyun's goal be accomplished?
