Chapter 289: Scaring the Little Immortal to Death

The gazes of the crowd all fell upon Xiaoxian in an instant. Suddenly being watched by everyone else, Xiaoxian felt a bit embarrassed; she curled her dragon tail together, subconsciously placed her dragon claws in front of her chest, and stammered, "Why are you all looking at me? Sister Luo Shen, you tell me what the solution is."

Luo Shen smiled slightly, finding Xiaoxian adorable.

"The key to breaking this Illusion Realm must lie with you. You possess the most precious bloodline of the Dragon Race; even ordinary members of the Dragon Race feel an innate sense of awe toward you."

After she said this, the others couldn't help but agree. After all, although Xiaoxian didn't seem very serious, she was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in the true sense of the word!

"Since the Illusion Realm was created by the Dragon Race, Xiaoxian, try dripping a drop of blood and releasing your own bloodline pressure; perhaps that will break this Illusion Realm."

Luo Shen said with a smile.

"Will that really work? Although I am of the Dragon Race, I am not one of the Dragon Race's people, and inside an Illusion Realm, what use is a drop of blood?"

Xiaoxian thought seriously for a long time, but she couldn't fathom Luo Shen's intention, so she couldn't help but touch her dragon head, looking troubled.

"That is indeed reasonable."

Yi Zhuyue, who was on the side, seemed to wake from a dream. "I have been to the territories of many great powers before; most of them hide their domains. If outsiders accidentally wander in, they will only become dizzy and disoriented, returning to the same spot no matter what, and eventually heading in a different direction."

"Their purpose in doing this is to prevent outsiders from entering their territory. As for dripping a drop of blood, it is actually equivalent to identity verification. Once it is confirmed that you are of the Dragon Race, it will naturally break the Illusion Realm and let you in."

Hearing this, Luo Shen nodded with a smile, expressing her agreement with Yi Zhuyue's words.

"This Illusion Realm has no lethality; all it does is make us lose our way. Walking around and returning to the starting point clearly shows it wants us to change direction and leave this place."

Yi Zhuyue pondered for a moment and continued.

When all was said and done, the final hope still fell on Xiaoxian.

Xiaoxian thought it over and felt that what they said made sense, but she suddenly felt that cutting her hand might hurt a little, so she wrapped her little hand with her claws.

If it were an injury from something else, it would be fine, but to make herself hurt herself, Xiaoxian really couldn't bring herself to do it.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiaoxian closed her eyes as if a warrior facing death and said to Luo Shen, "Sister Luo Shen, you do it. I can't bring myself to."

That pitiful little tone was as pathetic as could be.

Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He hadn't realized before that Xiaoxian was such a little girl; he had always regarded her as a mischievous little dragon cub.

Now that he looked, she really did look like a little girl.

For a moment, a sense of affection arose in him. He took out Xiaoxian's favorite food from his Storage Ring, placed it in front of her, and spoke in a gentle, soft voice: "Be good, Xiaoxian. Just for a second, it won't hurt. Eat something delicious to take your mind off it."

As soon as Xiaoxian saw the delicious food in front of her, she instantly forgot her previous worries. She opened her big mouth and bit down directly, even ignoring the hand Su Chen was holding.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go quickly! Are you trying to eat me too!?"

Su Chen's gentle smile stiffened on his face. One had to know that although Xiaoxian was a young dragon, her bite force was no joke. He hurriedly used his other hand to push Xiaoxian's face.

But how could Xiaoxian let the delicious food right at her mouth fly away? She refused to let go no matter what, and no matter how Su Chen pushed, it was to no avail.

Amidst their playful scuffling, Xiaoxian's tongue also unconsciously licked Su Chen's hand.

The soft, hot sensation instantly made Su Chen's scalp tingle. For a moment, he actually stopped moving and froze in place.

Seeing Su Chen looking as if he had been struck by lightning, Xiaoxian finally let go with great triumph. She chewed the delicious food happily and said while chewing, "You said I was fat just now, now you know the power of this dragon!" Her little dragon face was full of coquettishness, carrying the joy of having avenged a great wrong, and she felt completely radiant.

However, although she had bitten Su Chen just now, she hadn't used much force, but because of her innate bite strength, Su Chen's hand was still a bit red.

Su Chen looked at Xiaoxian with a constipated expression. For some reason, he actually saw the feeling of a playful little girl in her dragon face.

He felt he must be crazy. Could it be that he had been pent up for too long, so he even found a dragon to be delicate and pretty? Seeing that Su Chen hadn't reacted for a long time and hadn't argued with her like before, Xiaoxian was actually a little nervous for a moment.

She asked cautiously, "Master, why aren't you talking? I didn't bite you silly just now, did I?"

"..."

Hearing this, Su Chen revealed a speechless smile, feeling more and more that he had been possessed just now. He had actually thought this dragon was cute, when she was clearly hateful!

Watching the farce between the two come to an end, Luo Shen finally walked to Xiaoxian's side.

"Xiaoxian, are you ready? I will be gentle."

Luo Shen said slowly, then suddenly took out a long, thin dagger. Xiaoxian even saw the sharp edge of the dagger.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to imagine how much it would hurt to have her palm sliced open by this knife.

"Come on, I'm ready!"

Brave dragon, not afraid of difficulties! Xiaoxian closed her eyes with a look of resignation and handed over her palm.

The crowd stared intently at Xiaoxian. Unexpectedly, Luo Shen suddenly produced a silver needle from nowhere and pricked her lightly; a bead of blood instantly welled up.

"It's over."

Luo Shen looked at Xiaoxian with a smile.

After hearing this, Xiaoxian raised her head in a daze. She had expected a very intense pain, but she didn't expect it to be over already, and she hadn't felt a thing.

Opening her eyes, she saw Luo Shen holding a silver needle, while the dagger that had been flashing with a cold light just now was tucked neatly at her waist.

"Fine, Sister Luo Shen, you scared me on purpose. You could have used a silver needle, but you used such a big thing."

Xiaoxian immediately realized she had been played by Luo Shen and couldn't help but say, feeling aggrieved.

Su Chen also hadn't expected Luo Shen to have such a playful side and couldn't help but glance at her. Just at this moment, Luo Shen also noticed his gaze.

She blinked gently, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of mischievous laughter, sparkling. It was like a brilliant gemstone.

Although Luo Shen didn't say it explicitly, Su Chen inexplicably felt that Luo Shen had just been venting his anger for him, just using this roundabout way to scare Xiaoxian.

For some reason, a warm current flowed through Su Chen's heart, and he couldn't help but return a brilliant smile.

"Alright, no time to lose. Xiaoxian, release your Dragon Race bloodline."

Luo Shen comforted Xiaoxian for a moment before saying this slowly.
