My Boyfriend Is A Dragon

Panda Novel

The sun had barely risen when the alarm started blaring in the dimension. Everyone dragged their fatigued body to the well and saw the big red words floating quietly in the air.

Even after a sleepless night, Xu Lan was abnormally energetic. Determination shone in his bloodshot eyes.

For their current mission, they had to pay a visit to the fire element and to find out why the village had not been getting baby girls in more than ten years. Upon successful completion of the mission, they will receive 700 gold coins in addition to a single-use mind control ability.

Bai Wu thought Xu Lan was acting strange but he could not put a finger on it. Xu Lan had not been forthcoming either. Bai Wu had no choice but to continue leading the group to Yanyi Village located at the wood element.

The Five Elements, a simple concept consisting of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth was frequently used to explain the fundamentals of the world. The idea of mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements was a crystallization of ancient philosophers’ collective wisdom. The missions in the dimension were dispensed in accordance with the Five Elements, which ensured variations in the level of difficulty and content.

“Elder, how’s this a mission? Not having any baby girl birthed in the village? How do you think that place looks like?” Fang Lingzi trailed behind Bai Wu and fired her questions without a pause. She seemed to be curious about any and everything in this dimension. She had been bothering everyone with her questions.

“No idea. We’ll find out when we’re there,” Bai Wu replied absentmindedly, his attention lingering on Xu Lan.

Xu Lan was acting strangely that day. After seeing Bai Wu walking alongside Sheng Ya, Xu Lan raised his brows without approaching him. Xu Lan directed his attention elsewhere and started talking cheerfully to his companions.

It was not in Xu Lan’s nature to bother over trifles. After the load was taken off his mind, he was not as inhibited anymore. He could enjoy his time with the group, his cheerful laughter gave a joyous vibe to the atmosphere.

“Heck! Zhang Fei! Not bad, a female with a Ph.D.? Didn’t expect someone like you to find yourself such an impressive wife!” Xu Lan gave Zhang Fei a slap on his shoulder and chuckled.

“Uhm, I’m not bad myself alright? I’m working at the Central Science Park,” Zhang Fei scratched his head and smiled shyly after hearing someone complimenting his wife.

“Haha, not bad, not bad at all! The Central Science Park eh?” As Xu Lan joked around, he wondered where did everyone in the dimension come from?

Bai Wu sulked and walked in front of the group. Occasionally, he turned his head around to steal a glance at Xu Lan. Even though Bai Wu was unsure what Xu Lan saw at Darkwater Town, he found it hard to resist when Xu Lan was undressed. His tense masseter muscle did not convey his anger sufficiently; his pale jaw protesting silently. However, all of these emotions dissipated the instance he heard his name called.

As they were transported back to the empty land immediately after the completion of the mission, Bai Wu did not manage to ask Xu Lan about it. Bai Wu lowered his head in frustration, he wondered when would these missions finally come to an end.

Xu Lan looked at Bai Wu from the corner of his eyes and smiled. He knew that it was necessary to talk to Bai Wu. After all, certainty gave him comfort in this unpredictable world.

“Who are you?” a man in a straw cloak and straw hat asked after putting down the buckets of water.

“Hello, is this Yanyi Village?” Bai Wu smiled and asked innocently.

“Yes, and you’re?” the middle-aged man leaned backward and sized the group up. He voiced his question cautiously without coming across as impolite.
