The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 59

Luo Qingci couldn't believe her own words. After she spoke, the system remained silent for a long time, and Luo Qingci didn't have the energy to care. She was still in shock and deep thought. Once the idea crossed her mind, her brain was unusually active, constantly searching for other clues.

At that time, Luo Qingci was not unconscious. Perhaps she hid Ruan Li before fainting and found an opportunity to send Ruan Li away, only for her to be picked up by other dragons later.

Ruan Li had not hatched from the dragon egg for three hundred years. It was only after Luo Qingci took the egg away that it hatched. Was this a coincidence?

Details that had been overlooked in the past began to surge in Luo Qingci's mind. She remembered that after she was injured, she had coughed up blood several times, some of which had accidentally gotten on the egg and was eventually absorbed. The little dragon struggled violently when breaking the shell but calmed down after absorbing the spiritual energy she had sent over.

At that time, the system had ignored her. Since she had just entered the story, she didn't understand much about it, so she didn't think much of it or ask the system about it.

"System, answer me. In the original text, Ruan Li was saved by Luo Qingci, right?" She saw that the system hadn't responded and asked again.

"Yes." The system's response was brief and sounded oddly gloomy.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the original character's hidden plot. Character freedom unlocked 45%."

The system's confirmation made Luo Qingci very confused. "What else is hidden? What was Luo Qingci thinking when she saved Ruan Li?"

Luo Qingci had no way of knowing. She even wondered if Luo Qingci had already discovered Ruan Li's identity long ago.

"By the way, there's another thing. The original text mentioned that Ruan Li had congenital deficiencies, making it difficult for her to hatch. But when I took her out, she inexplicably hatched. Was this a coincidence, or was it because of my spiritual energy and blood? I remember my blood that fell on the shell was absorbed. Did it have an impact?"

"It's too late for you to notice now."

"So there really was an impact?" Luo Qingci was stunned. She looked around and took a deep breath. "I understand now. The sudden hatching of Ruan Li in the book wasn't a coincidence. In the original text, it was also because of Luo Qingci's blood and spiritual energy."

She still found it incredible. "This doesn't make sense. What could a dragon egg that hadn't hatched for three hundred years and a disciple of Tianyan Sect possibly have in common? How could her blood and spiritual energy be so special?"

She muttered to herself, and this time the system didn't respond, only stating that it couldn't reveal more.

If it couldn't be revealed, then there must be something more for her to discover.

Luo Qingci frowned while controlling the wind. "Luo Qingci, you're really hard to fathom. What's the point of doing this? Removing the roots of the grass but not the roots? Is it a matter of conscience? If she really knew Ruan Li's identity, what was her intention in keeping her around?"

Luo Qingci thought to herself and silently noted that Luo Qingci and Ruan Li must have some bond.

But there was no doubt that the original character was human. How could she have any connection with the dragon princess? Luo Qingci suddenly thought of the original character's background; she was an orphan, taken in by Tianjizi when she was young. This meant that her whole life was spent in Tianyan Sect, and the people she interacted with were also from Tianyan Sect. If there was a bond, it should be found in Tianyan Sect.
