1218 Dragon Goddess Yeyou

"Why are you still on the ground? Get up." Xi Meili looked down upon Liang Xuan with a slight frown on her face when he refused to stand up even after recovering.

"I…I had enough… Can we just end this…?" He responded in a tired voice, seemingly out of the energy and will to continue.

"Of course, we can end it right now, but are you sure you want to die already?" Xi Meili calmly said.

Liang Xuan's body trembled upon hearing her words which basically told him that he'd die if he gave up.

"..."

Liang Xuan mumbled in an inaudible tone a moment later.

"Huh? What did you say?" Xi Meili subconsciously leaned forward.

"I said… die!"

Liang Xuan suddenly sprang into action and went for Xi Meili's throat with his claw-like hands, his gaze bursting with killing intent.

A cold smile appeared on Xi Meili's face, and almost as if she anticipated his trick, she gracefully dodged his grasp with ease before grabbing his hand and crushing it with immense strength.

"Argh!!!"

Liang Xuan screamed out in pain as his hand became unrecognizable and many times smaller than originally.

"How pathetic." Xi Meili sneered afterward. "And you wanted me to marry you? When you're this weak and despicable? You make me laugh."

Her words were like sharp swords piercing Liang Xuan's heart. Not only was she tormenting him physically, she damaging him mentally as well.

Xi Meili would continue to torment Liang Xuan without stopping over the next several days until Liang Xuan truly couldn't continue any longer.

"I'm bored. We'll continue this another day." Xi Meili said to him.

"Guards! Take him away for questioning! If he fails to answer a single question, bring him back here and call for me!"

After saying such words to the dazed guards, Xi Meili went to clean herself.

And once that was done, she tried to see Yuan. Unfortunately, Yuan was not available for some reason.

"Is he in closed cultivation?" Xi Meili wondered out loud as she left his doorstep.

Meanwhile, Yuan was still busy looking through Dragon Goddess Yeyou's memories. Despite it only being a small fragment of her memories, it contained more than a hundred thousand years' worth of memories.

At the beginning of her memories, Yuan could only see complete darkness, almost as though he was in the void.

This scenery remained like that for thousands of years, which made Yuan wonder if there was something wrong with the memories at first.

Eventually, something changed.

A slit of horizontal light appeared in this darkness, slowly growing larger until Yuan could see new scenery.

It was at this moment that Yuan realized the darkness was simply the Dragon Goddess Yeyou sleeping.

When Dragon Goddess Yeyou awoke from her thousand-year-long slumber, she was first greeted by a tall figure standing not far away from her. However, when compared to her own size, this tall figure was only but the size of an ant, so in her eyes, it was akin to being disturbed by an insect.

Dragon Goddess Yeyou was about to curse at this figure, but before she got the chance, this figure spoke first.

"I hope I didn't disturb your slumber, Dragon God."

"And what will you do if you did? Die for me?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou responded.

"You can try to kill me if you'd like, but I would like to request that you do so after we have a little chat."

"I have nothing to say to a human." Dragon Goddess Yeyou sneered. She also did not miss the small detail of 'try to kill' in his speech, which implies that she might not be able to kill him.

Normally, she'd kill someone this disrespectful without giving them another thought, but she just woke up from a long slumber and couldn't be bothered to move around so soon, and there was something about this human that she could not pinpoint.

The figure chuckled, "Don't be like that, Dragon God. When was the last time you spoke to a human? A million years ago? Ten million?"

It has been at least a hundred million years since Dragon Goddess Yeyou has spoken to a human, but she did not admit such a thing to this human.

"Well, we don't really need to chat if you don't want to. Instead, just listen to me." This human continued to speak without an ounce of fear in his voice, which puzzled Dragon Goddess Yeyou, as she has never encountered a human that did not fear her.

In fact, even demons that were known to have no fear would show signs of fear when they encounter her.

'Does this human not understand what it means to be fearful? No… even those who have never experienced fear would instinctively be fearful of me. Perhaps he's not actually human?' Dragon Goddess Yeyou wondered inwardly as the human continued to speak.

"As you probably know by now, the war between humans and demons has finally come to an end after countless years of strife. Although most are celebrating by now, I cannot help but wonder why humans had to fight the demons alone even though the beasts also suffered from their torment. After all, if we, humans and beasts, had fought together, the war could've ended much sooner."

"What? Humans defeated the demons? Do you take me for an ignorant dragon — enough to believe such blatant lies?" Dragon Goddess Yeyou did not believe the human initially.

But the human seemed more surprised by the fact that she did not know about the end of the war even though hundreds of thousands of years have passed.

"It appears I have underestimated the amount of sleep a dragon— a supreme dragon requires…" The human spoke with a profound smile on his face, looking as though he was delighted to learn this information.

"Anyways, you are free to do your own research if you do not believe me, but it has been approximately 400,000 years since humans defeated demons. I'm even willing to wait until you confirm my truth before we continue this chat."

"..."

Dragon Goddess Yeyou was speechless, and she found this human to be increasingly interesting with every passing second, but this fact would not be realized by her for a very long time.
