The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 50

Luo Qingci was completely baffled at this moment, and the system looked equally speechless.

"You really are more suitable to be her master."

"What do you mean?" Luo Qingci was puzzled. What could have led Ruan Li to think this way? Just a few words from the male second lead, and it could increase Luo Qingci's favorability?

"You'll understand when you see Xuan Ying," the system said, feeling that Luo Qingci might grasp the peculiar thought process of the little dragon cub.

The more the system explained, the more strange it seemed to Luo Qingci. Xuan Ying's cold demeanor—did it somehow make the little dragon cub associate her with it?

"Don't tell me it's because you found my icy face more attractive than the male second lead's?"

"So it seems."

The system sighed, tacitly agreeing.

Luo Qingci couldn't believe it. "I know the little dragon cub likes beauty, but this is too ridiculous. I've worked so hard and barely increased my favorability, and just a comparison like this earned some?"

"The little cub is actually a face-lover. If it knew I was directly pursuing beauty, it would be even more..."

"Host, please speak carefully. It's really inappropriate."

Luo Qingci was just venting her frustration. After all, the little dragon cub she raised wouldn't do such things, but she couldn't help but feel defeated.

When she met with Ruan Li, she would certainly have to question her and see if it was just her appearance that mattered... oh, no, it was the dragon's appearance.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ying was unaware that Ruan Li had started to view Luo Qingci more favorably because of him.

Ruan Li, however, was unaware and simply frowned slightly. "I'm fine, but why are you here? Why are you in such a hurry to take me away? What if we get exposed?"

Xuan Ying glanced behind Ruan Li and reassured her, "Your Highness, don't worry, I have a plan. They don't know yet that you are missing."

Then his expression grew even more serious. "Please stay away from here. I will handle the matter of the red dragon properly."

"Stay away? What's going on?" Ruan Li was somewhat confused.

"There's no need for your Highness to ask too much. This place is unsafe and might involve you," Xuan Ying said, bowing and apologizing.

He tried to move closer to Ruan Li, intending to embrace her, but she quickly stepped back, creating a distance of half a body length between them. Xuan Ying was momentarily stunned and then slightly surprised.

Ruan Li, with a serious expression, held out her hand to stop him. "There's no need for that. Men and women should keep their distance. I can return on my own. How are things within the clan?"

Seeing this, Xuan Ying slowly withdrew his hand. "Everything is fine. We all hope Your Highness will return soon."

Ruan Li smiled wryly. "The Dragon Suppressing Divine Tree is not something I can deal with right now. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

With that, she turned and disappeared from Xuan Ying's sight.

Xuan Ying, in his black robe, watched her for a long time before lowering his hood and vanishing into a shadow.

Luo Qingci unconsciously curled up the corners of her lips. "My disciple is truly impressive. You see, she's just like me."

The system remained silent but couldn't help but criticize. Don't blame this remark if the female lead ends up with a string of bad romantic entanglements. One comment about not mixing genders could ruin everything.
