Hand yourself over to the nation, and may the dragon god's offspring bring prosperity to the en

The darkness faded, and Long Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with difficulty. Before her was a cave with stalactites. She looked around blankly and checked her beautiful scales again to make sure they were all there.

After confirming that there was no danger around, she tilted her head and wandered around the cave.

Is this the "safe other world" the elders were talking about?

Long Xiaoxiao is a dragon in the magical world. The dragon race was once revered by all people, but was later cursed by the dark witch. Generation after generation, they have to endure indescribable pain after the age of one hundred, and their lifespan is greatly shortened, making it increasingly difficult to reproduce.

One hundred years may seem like a long time, but in terms of the lifespan of dragons, if converted to human years, it is only about five years old.

The dragon race, which once shone like stars, has since fallen, sealing itself off and becoming indifferent to worldly affairs.

Long Xiaoxiao is the only offspring born to the dragon clan in the last hundred years. As her carefree childhood passed, and she was about to celebrate her hundredth birthday, the elders sought out the Witch of Light, begging them to find a way to protect Long Xiaoxiao from the curse.

The glimmer of hope revealed by divination lies in an unknown, otherworldly realm.

Long Xiaoxiao still remembers that day when the elders held back their tears, touched her head and said, "Xiaoxiao, take good care of yourself."

"Aren't you coming with Xiaoxiao?" Long Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

The elders remained silent, watching the magnificent sunset over the magical world. Finally, they gently shook their heads and pushed Long Xiaoxiao towards the gate leading to another world.

Long Xiaoxiao's last memory before losing consciousness was of those familiar tearful faces, trying their best to force a final smile at her in the dim light.

When Long Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she found herself in the cave.

"Little."

The unfamiliar mechanical voice startled Long Xiaoxiao. She looked around but saw no one, which made her even more terrified. She quickly curled up and buried her head under her body.

"I am your system, dispatched via the space transfer station to help the dragon race of Magic World No. 152 resolve the crisis."

Long Xiaoxiao kept her head down.

"..." The system pondered for a moment, then changed its words, "I can help you return to your world, and I can also help you lift the dragon's curse."

Upon hearing that the curse had been lifted, Long Xiaoxiao, who had been keeping her head down, immediately straightened up, looked around, and, not seeing anyone, asked, "Where are you?"

"I am everywhere," the system's mechanical voice said.

"Are you playing hide-and-seek...?" Long Xiaoxiao blinked and asked, but was interrupted before she could continue.

"No, that's not the point," the system said coldly.

"The key is to accumulate enough merit points and faith points in order to break the curse."

She wasn't bothered by being interrupted; she quickly forgot what she had wanted to say and even forgot that she had been afraid.

"What is that?" Long Xiaoxiao asked in a childish voice, tilting her head in confusion, her two small dragon horns swaying with her movements.

"Merit points are earned by doing good deeds and helping others. Faith points are earned by people's faithful faith in you."

Long Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand, but she didn't dare to ask. She could only nod as if she understood, and then suddenly changed the subject: "Then, Uncle, when can I transform into human form?"

She was still thinking about transforming into human form and going to the market with her second sister.

"..." The system scanned Long Xiaoxiao's body and said calmly, "Without completing the mission, you will never be able to take human form."

Long Xiaoxiao was startled and shrank back. After a while, she asked, "Then how am I supposed to complete the mission?"

Suddenly, a blue floating screen appeared in front of her, with dense numbers scrolling across it. Long Xiaoxiao stared blankly, not understanding what the system was doing.

After a while, the system said, "Three days later, someone will encounter danger while passing through this mountain, and you will need to rescue him."

"It's just about saving lives," Long Xiaoxiao nodded confidently, unusually raising her head to say, "Okay!"

He had a proud and arrogant demeanor.

……

Over the past three days, Long Xiaoxiao has explored the entire area, thoroughly familiarizing herself with the cave's exit and the surrounding terrain.

The time to save the person had arrived. Long Xiaoxiao was eager to get started and arrived early at the location the system had given her, waiting quietly while chewing on some wild fruit she had just picked.

At the entrance to Lingshan, a man in black sportswear chewed gum and waved to the phone camera: "Hello everyone, this is Xiao Wu Xunlong. Today we've come to—Lingshan."

After saying that, Wu Zhang turned the camera to Mount Ling and explained, "Mount Ling is the place where the Azure Dragon is recorded in the Chronicles of the Demon Dragon. Legend has it that an Azure Dragon who has cultivated for a thousand years lives here, and can summon wind and rain, ride the clouds and mist, and is omnipotent."

“From ancient times to the present, many people have hoped to see the dragon and come to this place, but the terrain of Ling Mountain is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff. It is said that thousands of corpses have been piled up at the foot of the mountain.”

The number of viewers for the live stream is steadily increasing. Wu Zhang has been live streaming his search for dragons for three years now. Although people scoff at it, they can't help but admire his perseverance. Therefore, when Wu Zhang goes live, people don't mind stopping in the live stream room for a while, just to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Xiao Wu's Dragon: "Xiao Wu, you're hiking again today?"

Likes sunny days: "That's fake. My home is right next to Lingshan Mountain. There are no dragons there, not even a tiger."

"I'm so arrogant, what can you do to me?": "Fake +1".

Seeing that no one believed him, Wu Zhang argued, "It's not about climbing mountains, it's about searching for dragons. How would we know if there are any if we don't go and see? Besides, there are no tigers on the mountain; they might have been scared away by the dragon."

"6. The streamer is really obsessed with dragons."

"I would call him Xiao Wu Haolong, meaning the opposite of Lord Ye's love of dragons."

"Hahaha, you're so talented!"

Ignoring the mockery of the crowd, Xiao Wu resolutely walked towards Mount Ling.

The roads to Lingshan were indeed rugged, becoming steeper the higher one went. The roads carved into the cliff face made it impossible to find a foothold, and the viewers in the live stream were terrified.

"I had a fit of acrophobia."

"Maybe we should just go down; it's not worth it for this little bit of data."

"Is the person upstairs new? This streamer is from a wealthy family. He just likes dragons and believes that dragons really exist. He doesn't start streaming for money; he just wants to share the joy of searching for dragons with everyone."

"This streamer is really talented."

The people in the live stream chatted excitedly, and the live stream became a trending topic. But Wu Zhang was unaware of all this; he was walking cautiously on the rugged mountain path.

The long trek had left Wu Zhang somewhat exhausted. He looked up and saw that he was only a short distance from the summit. He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, taking a few more steps.

Click!

It was the sound of stones sliding down, accompanied by the scraping of branches. Wu Zhang stepped onto loose gravel, and before he knew it, he was already falling.

"Holy crap! The streamer has fallen off a cliff! Call 110 immediately!"

"No way! No way! Streamer, are you okay? It feels like you're still falling."

"Wait...what is that!?"

Seeing someone fall off the cliff, Long Xiaoxiao immediately flew up, gently wrapped her tail around the falling person's body, put him on her back, and then flew towards the mountaintop following the system's instructions.

Wu Zhang felt a strange, icy touch, like snake scales. He opened his eyes in disbelief and was greeted by the rapidly passing mountain scenery and the obvious dragon horns on Long Xiaoxiao's head.

A dragon! It really is a dragon!

There really are dragons in this world!

Wu Zhang was so excited he could hardly speak. He carefully adjusted his posture, knelt on Long Xiaoxiao's back, and kowtowed three times: "True Dragon above! Thank you, True Dragon, for saving my life!"

The live stream chat exploded: "Am I seeing things? It's a dragon?!"

"Dragon horns, dragon whiskers, dragon scales, and it can even fly! It really is a dragon!"

"Could it be that the streamer is just creating hype?"

"Wake up! He's the heir to Wu Ye Pharmaceutical Company. Does he need a little bit of traffic?"
