The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 193 (End of Main Text)

Since Luo Qingci's incident, Ruan Li has rarely returned to the Dragon Clan. Even now that Luo Qingci is back, due to her special identity, Ruan Li has only returned a few times.

Indeed, it is time to go back.

When Xuan Ying and Fu Sheng saw Ruan Li, they couldn't hide their joy. Xuan Ying, who was usually not one for smiles, showed a rare warm expression, but this smile turned to indifference when she saw Luo Qingci beside Ruan Li.

Fu Sheng had heard some rumors earlier, but now seeing the situation, he realized that the rumors were true.

The fact that Ruan Li brought her back to the Dragon Clan showed the trust and importance she placed on her. The moment Ruan Li stepped in, Fu Sheng thought for a moment that Luo Qingci had returned.

Xuan Ying furrowed her brows, and her gaze unconsciously examined Luo Qingci. The more she looked, the heavier her heart felt. The resemblance was too striking—every movement, every tone, and even the expressions were identical, making Xuan Ying wary.

In this vast world, it's not impossible for people to look almost identical, but the fact that even their mannerisms and expressions are the same suggests intentional imitation.

If that's the case, it undoubtedly has ulterior motives.

Ruan Li noticed Xuan Ying's wariness and hostility and stepped to block Xuan Ying's view. She said, "If you want me to return to take up the position of Dragon King, there's something I must tell you in advance."

With that, Ruan Li took Luo Qingci's hand in hers, speaking with firm conviction, "She will be the one who accompanies me for the rest of my life. Regardless of my status, this will not change."

Xuan Ying and Fu Sheng were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed immediately.

Xuan Ying could no longer hold back, "Your Highness, don't be foolish. She's a human, how can she... even the previous Luo Qingci didn't deserve Your Highness, let alone this woman who merely resembles her."

Xuan Ying had long noticed Ruan Li's special feelings for Luo Qingci. The kiss from Luo Qingci before her death had cleared all doubts for Xuan Ying.

Ruan Li's unwavering devotion to Luo Qingci was not just because of their teacher-student relationship but because they had mutual affection.

Xuan Ying had struggled to accept this, but even though Luo Qingci was human and not particularly likable, she had the qualities that matched Ruan Li. During the great battle, Luo Qingci's actions were distinctly different from those of the Immortal Sect. Even though she was once a proud figure at the top of the Immortal Sect, willing to die for Ruan Li earned her respect.

He reluctantly thought that Luo Qingci was worthy of Ruan Li, but how could this inexplicable woman be suitable to become their Dragon Queen?

Ruan Li's expression turned cold, and her gaze towards Xuan Ying carried a chill.

In the ten years after Luo Qingci left, Ruan Li seemed to have had her emotions stripped away, and her demeanor became more aloof. Even though this coldness had receded somewhat with Luo Qingci's return, it had become ingrained in her character. She was no longer the Ruan Li who needed Luo Qingci's companionship for reassurance.

Luo Qingci's departure had taken away her last dependence, and those ten years had made her grow more than any other period.

In front of Luo Qingci, she was a lover, a disciple, and the little dragon who had once been deeply attached to her. But facing Xuan Ying and the others, she was the Dragon Princess, the distinguished Golden Dragon. The aura of a high-ranking individual, combined with her bloodline and strength, was deeply embedded in her bones. This made Xuan Ying unable to resist lowering her head, biting her lip and remaining silent.
