Obsessively Raised by My Doll 147

Chapter 147

The black dragon had never encountered a person who would climb up the pole like this, making such a big demand on it, its dragon grandfather.

But this time, it was indeed its fault, which was why it was being held by the throat, and could only blow its whiskers and glare.

“Don’t push your luck. This dragon has already dispersed the dark clouds. What more do you want?”

The aura was very strong, but at this time, even the palace staff behind Zheng Xuening could see that this terrifying black dragon seemed to be a bit of a paper tiger.

The words their Highness had just said seemed to have made the other unable to get angry.

Zheng Xuening did not speak, but just said to the black dragon, “If senior does not know how much damage has been done to the people of the Chaoying Kingdom, you might as well take a trip with this Princess.”

The black dragon was in a fit of anger at this moment. Hearing this, it immediately felt that every word this little girl said was a goading tactic.

“Let’s go then!”

In the end, the black dragon carried Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening and flew up, flying towards the place where the hail had fallen.

The black dragon’s figure was so huge that in a moment, it had disappeared into the clouds and flown far away. But the deterrence and pressure it had brought just now had still not faded.

All the palace staff in Changning Palace stood there in a daze. Seeing their Highness and Miss Lu being taken away by the black dragon, they were a little stunned.

“Do you think Her Highness dares to treat the black dragon like that?”

“Don’t use your head to speculate about Her Highness. Our Highness is not a mortal.”

“That black dragon won’t take Her Highness and Miss Lu away and not come back, will it?”

“How could that be? Didn’t she just say that she wanted the black dragon to compensate our Chaoying Kingdom?”

“But… that’s a dragon, after all. It can fly. And it can talk. What if it turns on them midway and throws Her Highness and Miss Lu down?”

The moment Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening had left, the remaining people in the imperial palace had panicked, a leaderless group. In the end, it was Helian and the others who had stabilized the people’s hearts, arranging for everyone to first deal with the collapsed palace, and then to see how many people were injured, to save them first.

A’sang from the Library Pavilion, hearing that there was no more noise outside, finally dared to poke her head out from behind a pillar and peek at the sky.

“Eh, the dark clouds have dispersed,” she murmured.

Not only that, but the terrifying thunder, lightning, and hail had all disappeared.

A’sang slowly moved to the door, held onto the doorframe, and cautiously looked outside.

And then she saw the figure of a dragon flying past in the sky, and on it were clearly the backs of two women.

“Is that Qingqing?” A’sang’s eyes widened, a little in disbelief.

One of the people on the dragon’s back was very familiar. It was Qingqing from her memory, that’s right. But… but how did Lu Dieqing get on the dragon’s back?

At this time, the imperial palace was filled with a calm but noisy aftermath. Whether it was the guards, or the palace maids and eunuchs, along with the old matrons, they were all bustling about, without their usual order.

The huge dragon had come, and hail had fallen from the sky. More than one palace had collapsed. Even if they hadn’t collapsed, many marks had been smashed on the palace walls and on the ground.

The emperor had not woken up since he had been scared into a faint.

The Third Princess had hurriedly come out of her bedchamber and had asked Sun Zongguan for the specific situation.

“The Crown Princess is now taking the black dragon to check on the casualties of the common people.”

Sun Zongguan said respectfully to the Third Princess.

Zheng Sixin was secretly shocked to hear that Zheng Xuening had done these things.

If it had been her facing that black dragon, she estimated that her performance would not have been much better than her father’s.

For her elder sister to be like this was really too unusual.

“Call the imperial physician. Let’s see to these injured palace staff first.” The Third Princess suppressed her complex emotions and also began to take charge of the situation.

…

The black dragon carried Lu Dieqing and the other and flew in mid-air. With its ability, with just a scan of its divine sense, it could know the scene below.

At this time, the black dragon was a little doubtful of its life. It had clearly come here for business, so how had it become like this?

A thousand-year-old black dragon was actually acting as a mount?

The more it thought about it, the angrier it got. The black dragon almost wanted to throw the two girls on its back directly from the sky.

But thinking of its mission this time, it could only silently swallow back its anger.

It was really strange. How could the Xuanqing Sect have detected that there was a successor hidden in the Chaoying court?

In a world where the spiritual energy was almost completely depleted, almost no one would embark on the path of cultivation on their own.

So how did these two mortal little girls on its back start to cultivate?

The black dragon was full of question marks, but at this time it could not bring itself to ask, so it could only hold it in, almost to the point of internal injury.

Just then, Zheng Xuening took the initiative to speak.

“Senior black dragon, look down. These common people are all mortals with no strength to even truss a chicken. Now, the houses they rely on for survival have been smashed by the hail. In winter, their old and young can only rely on fires for warmth. With the houses destroyed, they have nowhere to live, and they can’t sleep well.”

“How many people have nowhere to rest well tonight? Repairing houses requires silver. Such yellow and white things, senior black dragon naturally does not care for, but to mortals, they are more important than the spirit stones used for cultivation.”

“If today’s hail had accidentally hit the beggars in the capital, they would have no money to see a doctor, and could only endure their injuries and fend for themselves.”

“Every life here is related to the heavenly dao. Did senior black dragon not know that it would bring so many casualties before coming here?”

Zheng Xuening’s voice was unhurried, guiding the black dragon to look at the pathetic state of the common people below.

The black dragon’s divine sense swept over the capital and saw the appearance of those mortal common people. It could not help but fall silent.

It had been in the cultivation world since it was born and had almost gotten used to commanding the winds and rains.

Although there were mortals in the cultivation world, they all lived in specific places and were protected by formations. They were not at all as fragile as here.

For an ice dragon to appear and bring some hail was only normal. How could someone still lecture it for this?

To think that back then, their ice dragon’s old ancestor was a creature that could fly through the heavens and enter the earth. Whenever it appeared, it would bring long rivers and torrential floods, so majestic. It was just that later, it had offended a great power and had been suppressed at the bottom of the sea.

Now it was its turn to come to this mortal small world. It had just shown a little bit of its might and was already being lectured like this.

The black dragon was inexplicably reminded of its old ancestor’s treatment, and its heart felt a little hairy.

“I can’t bring the dead back to life. Just now, my divine sense swept over. These people are only slightly injured and will not die and go to be reincarnated. It’s not a big deal.”

The black dragon was still stubborn.

“Besides, mortals will die anyway. To die today and to die a hundred years later are both just a mortal. They will go to be reincarnated. Unless they can embark on the path of cultivation and go against the heavens, otherwise, what’s the difference?”

When he said this, the black dragon’s tone was full of contempt for mortals.

This kind of place with barren spiritual energy, if not for the Xuanqing Sect’s request, it would never have come, just to torment itself for no reason.

The black dragon was about to continue speaking when it suddenly roared, “Ah!”

Its body rolled, trying hard to throw Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening off its back.

“How dare you, you rat!”

These two little girls were actually stabbing it in the back with a dagger!

Zheng Xuening, using some unknown method, held Lu Dieqing and stood firmly on the black dragon’s back, her voice cold and resolute.

“Senior black dragon will also die and be injured sooner or later. Then to be stabbed a few times like this today, is there any difference?”

The black dragon was furious.

He had seen weak mortals, timid mortals, and even mortals who would prostrate themselves and fawn over him, but this was the first time he had seen such… such wanton behavior, daring to attack him!

“You rat! Today, your dragon grandfather will definitely…”

The black dragon was just about to circulate its spiritual power to teach these two girls a good lesson and knock them out from a high place, but it suddenly felt a pressure from between heaven and earth, which made it have to be quiet and retract its spiritual power.

Damn it. This mortal small world still had the power of rules. Cultivators who exceeded the spiritual energy range of this world could hardly use their spiritual power.

The moment it had made a move, it had felt its whole body being constricted by some kind of rule power, and its breathing had become a little difficult.

On the other hand, the two of them on its back were as if on flat ground, supporting each other, with not a trace of a change in their expressions.

Zheng Xuening’s dagger, which was stabbed into the black dragon’s back, had pierced its scales, and a few traces of blood appeared.

Lu Dieqing, watching from the side, suddenly spoke softly.

“Senior dragon, you were born with a long life. To be so blessed by the heavenly dao, you must have a benevolent heart.”

Her voice fell, and she gently raised her palm, circulating her spiritual power.

And so, a fine, dense spring rain, with her movements, slowly seeped into the area around the black dragon’s injured scales, and those blood marks immediately disappeared.

“Just now, we just wanted to let senior know that those common people were injured and their houses were damaged, and that they can be compensated. Just as senior felt just now, being healed by the Spring Rain Technique. It’s never too late to mend the fold after the sheep is lost.”

The fire that the black dragon had been holding in was just stuck there. Suddenly, there was a hole for it to vent, and a little of it leaked out.

Spring Rain Technique? What kind of technique is this?

The name doesn’t sound very impressive, but it’s quite comfortable to use.

The black dragon felt that not only had the pierced scale on its back returned to its warm and toasty state, but its other scales had also been cleansed by the gentle spiritual power, and it felt refreshed.

Zheng Xuening and Lu Dieqing, one singing the white face and the other the white face, had managed to make the huge black dragon, which could fly in the sky, unable to completely turn on them.

“Hmph, if not for the fact that this dragon has to do business for the Xuanqing Sect and still needs to use you, and this is the mortal world, which restricts this dragon, just for the offensive actions of you two girls, you would not have gotten off so lightly today.”

The black dragon, at this time, was still unwillingly saying harsh words.

Lu Dieqing heard its words, turned her head and blinked at Zheng Xuening, and the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

Lu Dieqing spoke again.

“Then, senior dragon, can you help us to settle these common people in the capital?”

The black dragon had appeared out of thin air, and it was impossible to hide it from the common people of the capital. Rather than letting people guess without reason and create endless panic, it was better to let the other cooperate and guide the situation.

“You are a senior who has lived for a thousand years. You are powerful and definitely very capable. Besides, these common people are all mortals and have never seen a dragon. To see you appear now is an eye-opener. In the future, when they talk about divine dragons, the first thing they will think of is you, old one.”

“If you do a good deed with your great power today, the legends of this mortal world will be enriched by one more, and you will be worshipped.”

The girl’s voice was soft, but it gave the still-aggrieved black dragon a way to step down.

The reason why Lu Dieqing had said these things was because she knew Ningning’s thoughts.

The black dragon had caused panic in the capital, which needed to be soothed.

The things that were inconvenient for Ningning to say, the steps that were inconvenient for her to give, she would say them, she would give them, as long as the result could be achieved.

The black dragon held it in for a while and finally said unwillingly, “Forget it. This dragon will do something to make up for today’s matter. It’s just that, before doing this, you two must first promise this dragon one thing, to find a person for me.”

Zheng Xuening: “You speak.”

The black dragon spat out a jade pendant from its mouth.

“This jade pendant was originally a pair. One is here, and the other, according to the Xuanqing Sect, was activated in your Chaoying court, to find its owner…”

Before the black dragon could finish, the jade pendant that had been hanging on Lu Dieqing’s chest suddenly became hot and glowed, and floated out from her collar.

The black dragon suddenly widened its dragon eyes.

“…You are the successor the Xuanqing Sect is looking for?
