Chapter 572: Heading to Dragon Island
Chapter 572: Heading to Dragon Island
The entire Dragon Arrival Plaza was in chaos. Whether they were noble disciples, common citizens, or even the Sky Guardians, everyone was on the verge of losing their minds!
In the past, young dragons were a "seller's market." There were many people and few dragons, and the dragons had the final say in choosing their partners. Even the esteemed royal heirs had been rejected before.
But now, Princess Calantha, the noble royal heir, was willing to be someone else's second partner?
It was as if the emperor's chosen woman refused to marry the emperor and instead went to the capital's sewers to marry a beggar, or even become someone's concubine. This was simply out of the ordinary!
All the Skalians had their mouths agape in disbelief, staring at the scene before them.
Prince Charles Ryder was also dazed, his head almost splitting open.
However, he still wanted to make one last effort to win back the fallen noble dragon.
He raised the massive yellow crystal sphere and pleaded with a tone of utmost sincerity, "Princess Calantha, this is a natural crystal from the Western Sea of Soren Bay, about 60 centimeters in diameter. I want to give it to you."
But Princess Calantha completely ignored him.
She gently flapped her wings, and a wall of air made of wind elements appeared right between her and Charles, completely blocking his view.
As for Princess Calantha, she extended her massive dragon head and nuzzled Ethan Slade's arm, speaking in a coquettish tone, "Will you agree to be mine, please?"
"Sure," Ethan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.
But after some thought, he said to Princess Calantha, "How about this: you take me to Dragon Island, and we can talk more once we get there."
"Great, let's go!" Princess Calantha was overjoyed. She turned around, spread her wings, and gestured for him to sit on her back.
Ethan didn't hesitate, and with a small leap, he straddled Princess Calantha's back.
Princess Calantha took off into the wind, flapping her wings joyfully, preparing to return to Dragon Island.
The other young dragons also forgot about the Dragon Arrival Ceremony and followed the princess, ready to head back.
After all, for these young dragons, whether they participated in this year's ceremony or not didn't matter; next year would be the same. But someone as interesting as Ethan, if they missed him, it would be hard to find someone like him again!
Prince Charles Ryder, seeing Ethan riding on Princess Calantha's back, felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart.
In the past, when he read web novels, they often had scenes where a noble wife had an affair with a stranger. He used to mock those nobles for not even being able to manage their own wives.
Now, thinking about it, hmm... it seemed like he...
At the moment, the only one who could save him was the Dragon Envoy.
So, Charles urgently shouted to the sky, "Lord Dragon Envoy, shouldn't you do something to stop them?"
The Dragon Envoy didn't know what to do either.
He had presided over 30 Dragon Arrival Ceremonies in his lifetime and was very familiar with nearly a century's worth of ceremony records. Such an outlandish event had never crossed his mind!
But seeing the young dragons already forming a group to leave, he had no choice but to step forward and say to the adult red dragon, "Old friend, look—"
But the adult red dragon directly interrupted him, "Goodbye, old friend! Wait for my good news! We're off first!"
With that, she led the young dragons and quickly flew out of Dragon Arrival Plaza, soaring over the vast sea.
The Dragon Envoy had no way to stop them and could only stand in the sky, at a loss.
Watching the young dragons leave and finally disappear on the horizon, the entire nation of Leiyang, who had been following the ceremony through the network media, was instantly in an uproar.
As the group of young dragons left, did this mean the Dragon Arrival Ceremony was over?
What about the newly adult dragons below? They would be 19 next year!
The entire community of Leryang erupted in chaos, both online and offline.
This issue quickly escalated, becoming the talk of the town and overshadowing even the end of the civil war in Beck.
However, these events had little to do with Su Yu for the moment.
He rode atop the White Dragon Princess, following the young dragons back to Dragon Island.
The young dragons around him were incredibly enthusiastic, chattering away as they described the environment and geography of Dragon Island to him.
Su Yu's mind was always multitasking.
While he chatted amicably with the young dragons, he also communicated telepathically with the kitten on his shoulder, Morningstar.
Su Yu: "I didn't expect the [Dragon Race Goodwill Potion] to have such a strong effect! I thought it would just make the dragons a bit friendlier, but now they're acting as if I'm their long-lost friend."
Morningstar: "Haha, it's actually very normal. Did you forget who gave you that potion?"
Su Yu: "Uh, it was Kevyn Goldfinch, the ancestor of Eliza."
Morningstar: "What quality was the potion when the elder gave it to you?"
Su Yu: "Rare quality."
Morningstar: "That explains it! Even with the elder's godlike power, he could only refine the [Dragon Race Goodwill Potion] to rare quality, not even legendary. This means the potion is either extremely difficult to refine or the materials needed for a legendary quality are hard to find."
Morningstar: "You drank a legendary quality potion, combined with the heart of the Blue Dragon Scythi, which amplifies its effects even further. This result was entirely expected."
Su Yu: "Expected? You sound like a Monday morning quarterback."
Morningstar: "."
She seemed to have been caught.
Morningstar quickly changed the subject: "So, what do you plan to do once you reach Dragon Island? Are you going to use the dragons' good will to rule over the entire island?"
Su Yu: "I'm not sure. I'll just take it one step at a time. I don't know much about Dragon Island anyway."
Su Yu: "Ruling the island is a bit far-fetched. We're heading back to Blue Star in two days. If I had three or four years, I might consider climbing the ranks among the dragons, but even a god can't do much in two days!"
Morningstar: "Alright, let me know if you need anything!"
With that, she jumped back into the pet space and fell into a deep sleep.
The young dragons circled around Su Yu like a cluster of stars, describing the surroundings of Dragon Island as they flew.
Dragons generally favored shiny and sparkling things, so the island was piled high with countless treasures and gold from all over the world.
Some dragons even slept on mountains of gold and jewels!
Many of the young dragons mentioned they planned to steal some choice items from their parents' treasure hoards to give to Su Yu.
As for food, dragons generally preferred to eat fish and deep-sea monsters from the ocean, seabirds on the island, various land monsters, and even the Skrell if they got on their nerves. Anything meat-based was on their menu.
True apex predators of the food chain.
As they chattered, the group of young dragons successfully reached the airspace above Dragon Island.
