It had seen shameless people before, but it really never saw someone as shameless as this…

However, even though the Black Flood Dragon was pissed off, it recognized the change in tone from Hong Dali. It hurriedly replied, “What do you want? This Lake Ze An isn’t big, but it’s not small either. There are quite a lot of rare treasured items in my territory. How about I give you some of them for free?”

It wanted to get rid of these vermin. Once they were gone, they could discuss other stuff!

Rare treasured items. Those were things Hong Dali lacked. After all, his lackeys were waiting to upgrade themselves. Hong Dali thought about it and made a decision. “Alright. Since you’re so generous, it’ll be unreasonable for me to reject you. However, I don’t know the effects of these items. Big bro, shouldn’t you introduce them?”

The Black Flood Dragon was decisive now that they officially discussed terms. “Most of the rare items in this lake are trash. There are a few Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass that can be considered treasures.”

Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass? Hong Dali asked, “What kind of treasure is Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass? Is it useful for us?”

Once he realized that Hong Dali was interested, the Black Flood Dragon hurriedly explained, “This Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass can’t really boost your strength. However, it’ll allow you humans to breathe freely underwater. Is that valuable enough?”

Spirit Grass that allowed humans to breathe underwater. Hong Dali was instantly a little disappointed. He could control the flow of water, so breathing underwater served no real purpose.

However, there were plenty of items that could boost humans’ attribute points, but items like these with secondary effects were rare resources. Hong Dali was indifferent, but it would be nice for the lackeys to breathe freely underwater. After all, a skill was a skill, right?

However, Hong Dali did not agree just like that. It was not that he was greedy. Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity and build a good relationship with this beast. He smiled and said, “Since this big bro is so sincere, I can’t ask for too much. Oh right, how should I address you, big bro?”

“Don’t worry. I’m Black Flood Dragon Wuwei.” The Black Flood Dragon responded.

“In that case, I’ll call you Brother Wuwei.” Hong Dali smiled. “Then, Brother Wuwei, let’s make a deal?”

When it heard that Hong Dali still wanted to negotiate, the Black Flood Dragon forced itself to keep calm. After all, it was a peak Stellar-level beast and possessed its own pride. It humphed. “Kid. You should always give yourself a way out. It’s good for both you and me. This Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass grew up under my watch. They finally matured after 400 years. If this still isn’t enough, and you still want to raise more conditions, then I’ll never let you go, no matter the cost. At most I’ll just take you all down together with me at the bottom of this lake!”

“Relax, relax.” Hong Dali calmly responded. “Brother Wuwei, don’t panic. Why not hear my two conditions out?”

The Black Flood Dragon said coldly, “Speak! I’ll see what kind of conditions you still have. Finish them in one go.”

Hong Dali thought for a while and said slowly, “Actually, Brother Wuwei, these two conditions are quite simple. First, you must promise that you won’t cause trouble for us once we leave. Otherwise, if you try to lay your hands, oh wait, I mean your mouth, on us the moment we exit your body, it won’t be very nice…”

Once it heard Hong Dali’s condition, the Black Flood Dragon instantly agreed. “Hm, this is a reasonable condition. You’re worried that I’ll take revenge on you once you leave. That’s a rational worry. Alright. I’ll promise you. I won’t create trouble for you.”

Hong Dali slowly shook his head. He smiled and said, “Just words alone aren’t enough. You must find some way to prove your sincerity, right?”

The Black Flood Dragon was enraged. “You!”

However, there was nothing he could do. These young people were too strange. They were not powerful, yet they could injure its internal organs. They made the Black Flood Dragon worried. He could only bow down and say, “Black Flood Dragon Wuwei swears to the heavens that when these few young brothers leave Wuwei’s body, I will not make things difficult for them. If I break my vow, my heart shall be pierced by ten thousand lightning strikes and die a horrible death!”

After he made his vow, Black Flood Dragon Wuwei humphed. “Are you satisfied now?”

“Eh? Brother Wuwei knows how to make a vow?!” Hong Dali was surprised. “Amazing!”

“Cut the bull**.” The Black Flood Dragon humphed. “Speak. What’s your next condition?”

Hong Dali smiled and said, “The second condition is quite simple—does Brother Wuwei need help with anything? You see, we must be fated to meet when we come from so far away. We’re in your belly now, which means we must be destined to meet. If we don’t help Brother Wuwei do something, we won’t feel good! If I don’t feel good, I can’t sleep well. If I can’t sleep well, I won’t want to leave…”

He uttered a whole lot of crap. There was only one purpose—to improve the relationship with the Black Flood Dragon and ease the tension between them.

After all, so many people were trying to kill them on the outside. He had to look for some strong backup, right?

The Black Flood Dragon did not accept it instantly. Instead, he thought for a while before asking, “Kid. How I’m doing here is none of your business. Don’t you think you’re crossing the line?”

“Just share with me.” Hong Dali gently patted the Black Flood Dragon’s stomach wall. “What if I can help?”

The Black Flood Dragon was curious now and asked, “Oh? For real?”

“It’s worth a shot.” Hong Dali nodded. “Try speaking?”

“Alright!” The Black Flood Dragon was not modest. It directly said, “I’ve been training for thousands of years in this Lake Ze An. I’ve even reached the peak Stellar-level condition now. I’m one step away from shedding this snake form and gaining a dragon form. Do you think you can help?”

What the heck. It wanted to transform into a dragon!Read latest chapters at NovelFull

Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. No wonder his title as “Animal’s Best Friend” did not work here. It indeed possessed that level of strength.

“It’s a little difficult.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Transformation into a dragon is no small feat!”

“No **. Why else would I be listening to your conditions if it was so easy?” Although the Black Flood Dragon was disappointed, it was happy to see Hong Dali stumped. “You’re out of ideas, right? Young kid, it’s easy to be mocked when you boast too much.”

“Hehe, don’t be so sure.” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “Then, Brother Wuwei, what do you think makes a dragon?”

The Black Flood Dragon turned serious. It thought about it for a while before saying, “I heard about this from the Green Phoenix long ago. Visible yet invisible. Tiny yet huge. Short yet long. Climb to the heavens in spring, dive to the ravines in fall. Summon the wind and rain, nothing is impossible. That makes a dragon.”

“Haha, something’s not right!” Hong Dali instantly laughed when he heard the Black Flood Dragon’s response. He shook his head. “What Brother Wuwei said isn’t the entire picture.”

When he heard that, the Black Flood Dragon was confused. “I’m wrong? Then, what do you think makes a dragon?”

“Dragons…” Hong Dali turned serious too. He thought carefully about all the things he read about dragons on Earth. “Mythical creatures apt at transformations, able to summon the clouds and rain to benefit everything else. Those are dragons. Brother Wuwei, listen to it. Summon the clouds and rain to benefit everything else. Only then can the creatures be revered by humans and beasts alike. Once respected, they become masters of their own ideas. Only masters of their own ideas can transform into dragons when they encounter the wind and the clouds!”

The Black Flood Dragon listened to Hong Dali and murmured to itself, “Once respected, they become masters of their own ideas. Only masters of their own ideas can transform into dragons when they encounter the wind and the clouds! Dragons…”

Hong Dali saw that the Black Flood Dragon was beginning to understand. It was time to pile on. “Brother Wuwei, I read about something a long time ago. It meant something like this. You need to possess the same level of insight as your strength. At first, I didn’t understand it. I’ve been thinking about the difference between strength and level, until today. Now that I’ve met Brother Wuwei, I finally understood. Think about it. You possess the strength to transform into a dragon, so you need to possess the level of a dragon now too. Stirring up the clouds and rain are what Brother Wuwei should’ve been doing in the past. However, since you’re about to transform into a real dragon, then you must do what real dragons should do now.”

The Black Flood Dragon talked to itself. “You need to possess the same level of insight as your strength… Since I’m about to transform into a real dragon, then I must do what real dragons should do now… what real dragons should do…”

Thinking up to this point, the Black Flood Dragon suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar. The sound pierced through the clouds and shattered the ground. Hidden within this earth-shattering roar was a hint of overjoyed excitement!

Lake Ze An. The enormous waves rushed toward the land!

Those Honorary Aristocrats surrounding Lake Ze An retreated by another 500 meters!

At the bottom of Lake Ze An, the Black Flood Dragon was overjoyed. It dashed around in the water and its excitement was obvious.

Hong Dali stood in the Black Flood Dragon’s esophagus and smiled, “Brother Wuwei, why are you so happy? Did you experience some enlightenment?”

“Hahahahaha.” The Black Flood Dragon laughed. “Little brother, what’s your name?”

“I’m Hong Dali.” Hong Dali introduced everyone. “This tall guy is Big Bro Levis. This red-haired guy is Big Bro Blood Demon. This cool guy is my lackey Li Yang. That is Sister Ye Huayun…” Finally, Hong Dali introduced Acka. “This is Acka. It’s Sister Green Bird’s child!”

The Black Flood Dragon was feeling extremely relieved without a single bit of discomfort or displeasure. Even the wound from Acka was healing rapidly. “Hahaha, Hong Dali and your friends. Thanks to your reminder, I, Wuwei, finally understood everything. It’s been 200 years. I’ve been stuck at this step for 200 years! I finally got it today. I got it! Hong Dali and the rest. Starting today, you’re my brothers from a different race! If you run into any problems in the future, you can just look for me. I’ll give it my all and I promise not to disappoint. Hahahaha!”
