Report to the lady! The young masters are madly infatuated with a village girl

"What do you owe me?" Adilide's golden hair fluttered violently in the water, and his blue eyes burned with anger. "You betrayed me and left the dragon tribe to pursue a fleeting love?"

Dias did not answer immediately, but turned to Yang Xining: "Xining, time is running out."

Yang Xining's purple-gold eyes flickered in the dim sea: "Uncle Yas, I can't--"

"You must do this." Dias interrupted her, his voice gentle but firm. "Adilide is the father of these children, and I... have lived long enough."

Loud roars and the rustling of scales could be heard outside the palace. Ye Wuhen's ear fins stood up in alert: "At least twenty dragons are approaching. We don't have time!"

Tears glistened in Yang Xining's purple-gold eyes as she looked at the scar on Dias's face.

I remembered what my mother once said - Dias betrayed the entire dragon clan for her.

“Why is it you…” Her voice choked, “Why is it always you who is sacrificed?”

Dias smiled, a smile so gentle it was heartbreaking: "Because this is my own choice."

He took Yang Xining's hand and pressed it against his chest. "Come on, if you move quickly, you can finish it before those bastards get here."

"No!" Adilide suddenly rushed forward and pushed Dias away. "If you want to take it, take mine! I don't need your pity!"

Dias was pushed against the broken palace wall. He patted his shoulders and sat up calmly: "Xining, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you... My nephew has been spoiled since he was a child."

Yang Xining looked at this scene in shock. She found that Adilide did not want Dias to die.

A loud bang came from outside the palace, and the entire Dragon Palace was shaking. Ye Wuhen quickly swam to the door to check, his face suddenly changed: "They're here!"

"There's no time!" Dias suddenly grabbed Yang Xining's wrist and used his other hand to tear open his shirt, revealing a patch of golden scales on his chest. "Do it!"

Yang Xining's hands trembled uncontrollably, and divine power gathered and dissipated at his fingertips.

She had imagined countless times the scene of killing her enemies with her own hands, but she had never thought that one day she would kill the man who had been silently protecting her mother with her own hands.

"I can't do it..." She shook her head and stepped back, her tears merging into the sea water.

Dias sighed and suddenly turned to Ye Wuhen: "Mermaid boy, come here!"

Ye Wuhen was stunned for a moment: "Me?"

"The reverse scale is right above the heart. Use your water halberd to pierce it, and then pierce it outwards!" Dias shouted sternly, "Quick! Unless you want to watch Xining die here!"

Ye Wuhen looked at Yang Xining, who closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Sorry." Ye Wuhen's water halberd condensed instantly and stabbed into Dias' chest without hesitation.

"No!!!" Adilide let out a heart-wrenching roar, but it was too late to stop it.

The water halberd accurately pierced the edge of the reverse scale. Dias groaned and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Wuhen flipped his wrist, and a palm-sized piece of golden scale was picked out completely. Suddenly, golden light became brighter, illuminating the entire inner hall.

The moment the scales left his body, Dias's golden hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fine wrinkles appeared on his skin.

His eyes began to blur: "Hurry... go..."

"No!" Adilide broke through the barrier and caught the fallen Dias, "Uncle!"

Adilde lost both his parents when he was young, and was raised by Dias.

In his memory, Dias was the uncle whom he respected and would follow throughout his life.

Since childhood, Dias taught him swordsmanship, how to use divine power, and how to become a qualified Dragon King...

Until Dias chose Idorus and betrayed him.

This action filled Adilide's heart with resentment towards Dias.

Countless times, thoughts of making Dias regret flashed through his mind.

However, even so, he never really wanted to kill.

At this moment, looking at Dias lying in his arms, Adilade felt mixed emotions in his heart, and all the grudges and hatreds of the past surged up in this moment.

Dias's breath was rapidly weakening, but he still managed to raise his hand and gently stroke Adilide's cheek: "Live well... and be a... good father..."

His hands fell limply, and his body began to transform into specks of golden light and dissipated into the sea water.

"Uncle Dias!" Yang Xining knelt on the ground, his tears merging into the sea water.

Adilide held the gradually disappearing Dias in his arms, raised his head and let out a heart-wrenching dragon roar, shaking the entire inner hall violently.

Ye Wuhen was knocked over by the shockwave and crashed against the wall: "Xining! The door can't hold!"

Yang Xining suppressed his grief and held Ni Lin tightly in his hand: "Adilide, we have to go!"

Adilide slowly raised his head, his blue eyes burning with rage: "You go."

He carefully took the last remaining strand of Dias's golden hair into his arms and said, "I'll cover your retreat."

"Are you crazy?" Yang Xining swam in front of him. "Twenty dragons! You will die!"

Adilde suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her head, resting his forehead against hers. "Look at my memory, and take it... to the children."

In an instant, countless images flooded into Yang Xining's mind.

The heartwarming moments of Adilide's childhood with Dias, the anger and hatred she felt upon learning Dias had chosen Idorus, and the painful struggle she endured while being controlled by the dragon...

And, complicated feelings towards her and the children.

When the two separated, the mother-of-pearl gate collapsed and twenty dragons of various shapes roared and rushed in.

A dazzling golden light burst out from Adilde's body, and his human form gradually changed - dragon horns grew on his forehead, scales covered his skin, and his hands turned into sharp claws.

"Go!" He rushed towards the enemy without looking back, "Go save that damn world! If I were still alive... I would definitely go to see them!"

Ye Wuhen grabbed Yang Xining's wrist and said, "It's time for us to go!"

Yang Xining took a last look at Adilade who was fighting among the dragons, gritted his teeth and activated the teleportation talisman given by Bai Qiancheng.

A strong light flashed, and the two figures disappeared from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

When they appeared again, they had returned to the temple in Kunlun Snow Mountain.

The blizzard was still raging, but Yang Xining's heart was colder than the ice and snow.

She knelt in the snow, holding the golden scale tightly in her hand, tears forming ice crystals on her cheeks.

Ye Wuhen returned to his human form and stood silently beside her, not knowing how to comfort her.

The door of the temple suddenly opened, and Bai Qiancheng walked out with the white fox in his arms.

"Did you get it?" he asked coldly.

Yang Xining slowly raised his head and lifted up the scales: "The price... is too high..."

Bai Qiancheng took the scales, a glint of pity flashing in his icy blue eyes. "Sacrifice is always inevitable." He turned and walked towards the temple. "Come in, the ceremony can begin."
