Chapter 1537: The Story of Li Jun

When that dignified voice rang out, the silver light that pierced through layer upon layer of void condensed before everyone's eyes into a figure.

It was a woman, and she was remarkably tall and straight, a good head taller than the average man, yet despite her height, she was not burly; on the contrary, she gave off an air of slender, well-proportioned grace.

Her features were stunningly beautiful, her brows slightly sharp, and her eyes were purple-gold vertical pupils; as they moved slowly, they radiated an intimidating pressure that made one dare not meet her gaze.

She had a head of silver-white long hair, as if scorched by flames, falling in loose curls, exuding a mature charm. She was clad in a golden dragon-scale battle armor that fit her form extremely well, almost clinging to the contours of her body, thereby revealing curves that were full of fluidity and a sense of power.

And because of her tall stature, her legs possessed a breathtaking length, with fine dragon scales covering them, adding a few degrees of wild beauty.

But the most distinctive feature was on the beautiful woman's forehead, where a pair of purple-gold dragon horns actually grew; the horn bodies were like works of art, possessing a finely carved primitive, rugged charm.

At this moment, perhaps because she had previously gone through an extremely fierce battle, she was still gripping a somewhat exaggeratedly shaped dark-red greatsword in her hand, from which a terrifying fluctuation was rising.

The dragon-scale battle armor on her body was slightly damaged, and faintly, some pitch-black scars surfaced on her skin.

This was a woman of extremely special temperament, and the visual impact she brought was extremely intense.

But when Li Luo looked at her, the inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart suddenly grew even stronger.

"A-Zhen, why have you come as well?" At this moment, Li Li Tianwang gazed at this beautiful woman with silver curly hair and dragon-scale golden armor, and laughed with some surprise.

"Hehe, greetings to Zhen Li Tianwang; it's been many years, and your presence is even more impressive than before." Cloud Li Tianwang wore a gentle smile and cupped his fists in salute.

The beautiful woman called "Zhen Li Tianwang" gave Cloud Li Tianwang a slight nod, then snorted coldly at Li Li Tianwang and said, "Can I not come?"

Li Li Tianwang hurriedly waved his hands.

Li Luo, seeing this scene, could not help but want to laugh, because Old Ancestor Li Jun's image was that of a handsome youth, and when he stood beside this "Zhen Li Tianwang," he was instantly dwarfed by a large margin, his height not even reaching the other's waist.

"You're injured? Why did you fight so viciously with that 'Heavenly Demon Great Demon King'? Didn't I tell you that you only needed to hold it off?" Li Li Tianwang frowned as he looked at the torn dragon-scale battle armor on "Zhen Li Tianwang."

"That 'Heavenly Demon Great Demon King's' injuries will only be worse than mine. If I hadn't sensed other Great Demon Kings secretly watching, I would have crossed out of the realm domain and torn it to pieces." Zhen Li Tianwang snorted coldly.

Then her voice paused, and she said, "It's rare for me to come to your side, so naturally I want to seize the chance to wound that 'Heavenly Demon Great Demon King,' so that things here will be easier for you in the future."

That voice, which had seemed strong and fierce moments ago, now rare softened a little.

Li Li Tianwang was somewhat moved, and reached out to grasp Zhen Li Tianwang's palm, which was covered in dragon scales, saying, "A-Zhen, you're so good to me."

A look of distaste appeared on Zhen Li Tianwang's coldly beautiful cheeks, but she allowed Li Li Tianwang to hold her hand, while the tips of both her ears flushed slightly red.

And faced with this sudden display of affection from the two Li Tianwang before them, everyone present could not help but fall silent.

Cloud Li Tianwang's eyes showed admiration; within the circle of Li Tianwang of the ten Outer Shenzhou, this Dragon Race's Zhen Li Tianwang, whose fierce reputation was extremely prominent, could only be tamed by Li Li Tianwang.

As if sensing the atmosphere was off, Zhen Li Tianwang quickly shook off Li Li Tianwang's hand after a moment. Her gaze swept over everyone present, then landed on Li Luo.

"I came out now because I want to see this little fellow who has a resonance with me."

Li Luo, seeing Zhen Li Tianwang look at him, hurriedly bowed respectfully, then hesitated and said, "This junior is Li Luo, paying respects to..."

He paused here, his gaze somewhat bewildered as he secretly glanced at Li Li Tianwang, indicating that he was a little unsure how exactly he should address this one.

Because as far as he knew, this Heavenly Dragon Li Tianwang, who had an intimate relationship with Old Ancestor Li Jun, also had an extremely special relationship with their Li Li Tianwang lineage.

The subsequent bloodlines of the Li Li Tianwang lineage all contained Heavenly Dragon bloodline, which undoubtedly originated from this "Zhen Li Tianwang."

But the problem was... the one who truly gave birth to and continued the bloodline of their Li Li Tianwang lineage was not "Zhen Li Tianwang."

In the past, when Li Luo accompanied Li Li Jingzhe, he learned from casual chat that when Old Ancestor Li Jun was out training in his earlier years, by chance he formed a miraculous bloodline karmic bond with the then heavily injured "Zhen Li Tianwang." This was a contract originating from the Heavenly Dragon Race, and from then on, their lives and bloodlines merged into one.

But later "Zhen Li Tianwang" returned to her race for closed-door cultivation. The Dragon Race's lifespan was long, and such closed-door cultivation naturally took an extremely long time, while Old Ancestor Li Jun, during this period, continuously advanced in strength.

And Old Ancestor Li Jun's personality in his earlier years was free and unrestrained, quite romantic, so naturally he was full of stories.

The Li Li Tianwang lineage was thus born.

At the same time, because of the bloodline karmic bond between Old Ancestor Li Jun and "Zhen Li Tianwang," it caused the Li Li Tianwang lineage to awaken numerous Dragon Aspects.

When "Zhen Li Tianwang" later broke out of seclusion and ascended to Li Tianwang, she discovered that she had inexplicably gained a vast clan group with a bloodline connection.

This situation naturally left her bewildered and annoyed. According to secret rumors within the race, Zhen Li Tianwang even stormed the Li Li Tianwang lineage at that time, beating Old Ancestor Li Jun until his face was bruised and swollen, before finally swaggering off.

So in terms of relationship, Zhen Li Tianwang indeed had a bloodline connection with the Li Li Tianwang lineage, but emotionally speaking, there did not seem to be too much closeness.

It was just that later, as the years passed, those Great-Grandmothers who had once followed Old Ancestor Li Jun successively passed away from old age, and Zhen Li Tianwang also began to accept this matter. At the same time, she secretly instructed the Dragon Race to have more interaction and friendly relations with the Li Li Tianwang lineage, which counted as acknowledging this relationship.

But Zhen Li Tianwang still very rarely visited the Li Li Tianwang lineage, so the juniors of the Li Li Tianwang lineage did not know her well, and even those who knew of her regarded her with awe.

Precisely because of these entanglements that were once so complicated they left one sighing in admiration, Li Luo at this moment did not know how to handle this form of address, afraid of getting it wrong and making this fierce and domineering Heavenly Dragon Li Tianwang angry.

And Old Ancestor Li Jun, who received Li Luo's signal, also revealed a somewhat awkward smile; after all, the messes he had stirred up did indeed make things very difficult for his juniors.

"Of course you call her Great-Grandmother," Li Jun said.

However, just as his words fell, Zhen Li Tianwang beside him cast over a gaze full of fierce light: "What did you say?!"

Li Luo sighed inwardly; it seemed that this Zhen Li Tianwang, even after the passage of vast years, still refused to acknowledge her relationship with the Li Li Tianwang lineage?

But Old Ancestor Li Jun reacted even faster, immediately giving an awkward laugh: "Call her Great-Great-Grandmother!"

Only then did Zhen Li Tianwang snort coldly and withdraw her fierce gaze.

Li Luo was drenched in cold sweat. What kind of bizarre form of address was this? And what Zhen Li Tianwang had just taken issue with was not this form of address, but that it was missing a "great" character?

Though feeling strange inside, Li Luo still obediently bowed respectfully.

"This junior is Li Luo, paying respects to Great-Great-Grandmother."
