Hua Qing Si stared at Yang Kai with hatred and dread, thinking about what she had gone through. She couldnβt help but pout then sit down on the ground and make a scene, βHeartless bastard, you are worse than a dog. I curse you to suffer in hell for all eternityβ¦β
Yang Kaiβs face fell and he glared at her in silence, waiting for her to finish her tantrum, yet she didnβt stop grumbling even after a long while, and he could only yell at her, βEnough!β
Hua Qing Si suddenly quieted, choking with sobs, while her fragile shoulders shivered lightlyβ¦
βJust look at yourself, you are a great Third-Order Dao Source Realm Cultivator, yet youβre spewing profanity like a street thug. What a disgrace!β
Hua Qing Si said aggrievedly, βWhat can I doβ¦ fight you? I canβt defeat you, and I donβt even have the right to curse you?β
βAs long as you obey me, I wonβt torment you,β Yang Kai snorted coldly and spoke.
Hua Qing Si nodded repeatedly, saying, βIβm obedient, very obedient.β Not forgetting to wipe her tears and show him an ugly smile.
βYou should have done so long ago,β Yang Kai snorted and spoke.
Yang Kai mulled this over for a while, then walked toward Hua Qing Si and stretched his hand toward her.
Hua Qing Si moved back instinctively, seemingly out of fear, but upon noticing that he didnβt harbour any malice, she pursed her lips, summoned her courage, and stretched her hand toward him and let him pull her up.
βCome with me!β As he spoke, he used his power and teleported along with Hua Qing Si.
A flash of light streaked past her eyes for a short moment, and by the time she regained her sight, they had already arrived at a bamboo house, a simple yet graceful bamboo house.
βThis place has buildings?β Hua Qing Si was bewildered. βDoes someone live here?β
βYeah, but thatβs a matter of the past,β Yang Kai replied calmly.
Many years ago, he brought his friends and relatives from Tong Xuan Realm into the Shadowed Star. During his trip, more than ten thousand people resided in the Small Sealed World, and many houses were still left here.
βSit down!β Yang Kai beckoned at her then sat down.
Hua Qing Si hesitated for a moment then sat down opposite Yang Kai.
βIβll ask you several questions, and you have to answer me honestly,β Yang Kai spoke only after she sat down.
Hua Qing Si nodded in response.
βDid you travel to Maplewood City to investigate the cause of Han Lengβs death?β Yang Kai asked.
Hua Qing Si hesitated for a while, but she still nodded in the end. βThatβs right!β
βWhy?β Yang Kai stared at her.
Hua Qing Si organized her thoughts and words for a moment then said, βJunior Brother Han Leng is my masterβs disciple, a banished disciple, and it looked like he had stolen one of my mastersβ treasures before escaping from the Star Soul Palace. So, I hunted him down mainly to retrieve that treasure.β
βWhat is it?β
βI donβt have any idea, as my master didnβt tell me, but he told me that itβs a token.β
βA token?β Yang Kai raised his brows, but he quickly recalled something and took a strange token off his Space Ring. He showed it to Hua Qing Si and asked, βIs it this one?β
The token was pocket-sized with a very special texture, which was neither wooden nor metallic, and the word βDragonβ was carved on its front side, while the design of a True Dragon soaring into the firmament was carved on its backside.
He had gotten this token from Han Lengβs Space Ring, but he couldnβt fathom its function at that time, and that was why he just placed it in his Space Ring and paid no more heed to it.
Now, Hua Qing Si had just told him that she came after this token under her masterβs orders, and he immediately realized that the token was anything but simple.
Hua Qing Si was a Third-Order Dao Source Realm Cultivator and her master should be at least a Second-Order Emperor Realm Master, yet he was still preoccupied with the token, which clearly showed its worth.
βDid you find it in Junior Brother Han Lengβs Space Ring?β Hua Qing Si asked.
βThatβs right.β
βIf he didnβt have another token in his Space Ring, then this should be my missionβs objective,β Hua Qing Si cast a glance at the token with a weird look plastered on her face.
βCan you recognize what it is?β When Yang Kai raised this question, he paid close attention to her expression.
Hua Qing Si first shook her head, then stretched her hand and took the token. Upon examining it closely for a while, her expression changed and her body shook all over. She couldnβt help but cover her mouth and let out a surprised cry.
βSpeak!β Yang Kai urged her impatiently.
βIf I am not wrong, then it should be the famous Dragon Island Token,β Hua Qing Si said in alarm.
βDragon Island Token?β Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, βWhatβs that?β
βHave you never heard about it?β Hua Qing Si stared at him, seemingly surprised that he didnβt even know the Dragon Island Token. [He is really ignorant!]
But upon casting another glance at his face, she swallowed the mocking words that had just reached her tongue, and said carefully, βSir, did you ever hear about the Dragon Island?β
βDragon Island? Does a dragon live in it?β Yang Kai asked back, then chuckled, βIβm just cracking a joke.β
But, Hua Qing Siβs expression was still tense and solemn.
βDoes a dragon really live on Dragon Island?β Yang Kai asked sceptically.
Hua Qing Si nodded in response.
βAre you serious?β Yang Kai rolled his eyes at her.
Dragons were one of the strongest Ancient Divine Spirits, and beings the likes of True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes were only the talks of legends and ancient records, and they didnβt exist in this world.
Hua Qing Siβs face got flushed and she rolled her eyes at Yang Kai. She said, βIf the Dragon Island is real, then a dragon should be living in it, and it isnβt just one or two.β
The corners of Yang Kaiβs mouth twitched. He was left speechless!
Hua Qing Si said, βItβs said that the Dragon Island is the most mysterious force of the Star Boundary, and itβs also the strongest because a lot of True Dragonsβ descendants reside there, and there are even Ancient and Primordial Dragons. Even the ten Great Emperors dread those ancient beings, but ordinary people such as us still arenβt sure whether it exists or not, and itβs only the strongest cultivators who have access to this secret and itβs also only them who can find the Dragon Island.β
βAs for the Dragon Island Token, itβs a token from Dragon Island,β Hua Qing Si added, βAnyone who holds this token can go to Dragon Island and ask for a favour from the Dragon Clan, as long as it isnβt anything overboard which they canβt accept. For example, if I travel to Dragon Island with the token, then I can ask the Dragon Clan to use a True Dragonβs Power to raise my cultivation base into the Emperor Realm, and it wonβt be limited to just the First-Order of the Emperor Realmβ¦β
As she brought up this subject, a longing look appeared in her pretty eyes and she held the Dragon Island Token tightly, while her breathing turned rough.
Yang Kai stretched his hand and the Dragon Island Token flew back to his palm. He cast a glance at Hua Qing Si and said, βGo on!β
Hua Qing Si revealed a sheepish smile and hid the zealous look apparent on her face, then said, βSince primordial times, only five Dragon Island Tokens appeared, and itβs still only a talk of ancient legends. Itβs said that three of them were used up, and every usage has shaken up the whole Star Boundary.β
As she spoke up to this point, she raised a finger and said, βOne of them was eighty thousand years ago. The Northern Territoryβs second greatest sect, the Profound Frost Sect was destroyed in one night. None of their tens of thousand disciples had survived and their Emperor Realm Masters also perished. Itβs said that a Dragon Aura was left in its ruins and is present to this day. A lot of cultivators visit it to try their luck and seek a fortuitous encounter.β
βThe second one was fifty thousand years ago. Some gutsy person provoked the Divine Spirit Shi Huo, and the whole Southern Territory was turned upside down by the infuriated Divine Spirit. Sects were destroyed, families exterminated and innumerable beings perished. Even the ten Great Emperors made a move, to no avail and none could stop the Divine Spiritβs killing spree. If Dragon Island didnβt step in to repel it, all of the Southern Territoryβs people would have suffered the brunt of its rage.β
βAs for the third time, it was thirty thousand years ago. The strongest master of the Human Clan, Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, died with signs pointing to the Dragon Clanβs involvement in this ordeal. That battle had been earth-shattering, many stars were shifted and World Principles were toppledβ¦β
βThe Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was killed by the Dragon Clan?β Yang Kai suddenly interrupted Hua Qing Si and questioned her sceptically.
Hua Qing Si stuck out her tongue. βItβs only a legend and Iβm not certain of it, but itβs quite likely. After all, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was the strongest master of the Human Clan, and his opponents wouldnβt have been able to slay him despite joining hands, and the Dragon Clanβs involvement is the sole logical explanation for this.β
As she spoke up to here, she looked in confusion at Yang Kai, βHave you heard of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor?β
βAre you taking me for a country bumpkin?β Yang Kai looked askance at her.
Hua Qing Si laughed sheepishly and said, βIn any case, itβs said that those three incidents are all related to the Dragon Island Tokenβs usage, and if this token is really the Dragon Island Token, thenβ¦ You should properly consider how you will use it. After all, itβs a priceless treasure.β
βSince when are you so concerned about me?β Yang Kai snorted coldly.
Hua Qing Si mumbled out of displeasure, βIs it wrong to show any concern for you?β
βAre you sure itβs the Dragon Island Token?β Yang Kai asked.
Hua Qing Si shook her head. βI have never seen the real Dragon Island Token and donβt know what it looks like, but from its design and texture, it can be surmised that itβs this one. If you are still sceptical, then why donβt you ask some knowledgeable person. You may probably get more clues about it.β
βWe arenβt even sure whether Dragon Island is real or where it is. Itβs too early to give any thoughts into the Dragon Island Tokenβs matter,β Yang Kai said then put away the token.
He already had a person in mind, and he should question him, as he might have some accurate info about it.
βSirβ¦β Hua Qing Si said coyly, while twisting uneasily. She stared at Yang Kai and said stammeringly, βI have already told you everything you want to knowβ¦ So, why donβt youβ¦β
βEnough daydreaming!β Yang Kai rejected her bluntly.
βDo you really plan to imprison me here for life?β Hua Qing Si was quite frustrated. βIβm from the Star Soul Palace and I came here to investigate Junior Brother Hang Lengβs death under the order of my master. If I donβt go back to make a report, then my master will sooner or later come over and he may even trace this back to you.β
As she spoke up to here, she nodded repeatedly, saying affirmatively, βHeβll surely trace it back to you. You donβt want to be eyed by him, do you? Heβs a Second-Order Emperor Realm Master, so hurry up and let go of me. Letβs part on good terms.β
