Chapter 220: Is That... The Legendary Azure Dragon Beast?

At this moment:

Qin Muyin's delicate face turned pale.

Even though she knew the majestic creature in the sky was Chen Ye in transformed form and would not harm her, she couldn't help but feel fear.

The overwhelming aura of the Azure Dragon was simply too powerful.

This was the instinctual fear of a weaker being toward a stronger, more fearsome creature.

A primal fear, rooted deep in her very bones.

"Chen Ye?" Qin Muyin called tentatively.

"Sister Qin, don't be afraid, it's still me!"

The massive dragon spoke, and Chen Ye's voice emerged from its mouth.

However, now amplified countless times, his voice became incredibly deep and resonant, filled with an awe-inspiring presence.

"My mind remains clear, even in this Azure Dragon form."

Hearing this, Qin Muyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Ye, how do you feel right now?" she asked.

"I feel… a bit unaccustomed to having such a large body!" Chen Ye replied.

As he moved his enormous form through the air, flying and spiraling, gusts of wind followed in his wake.

At that moment:

He felt as though the planet's gravity no longer had any effect on him.

Still, it was true that he was struggling to adapt.

His human body had only been 1.8 meters tall, and he'd long grown used to it.

Now, in his Azure Dragon form, his body was 450 meters long, nearly 300 times larger. Naturally, the change felt strange.

Chen Ye flew in the sky for a long time.

Meanwhile, Qin Muyin patiently waited below.

At first:

Chen Ye's flight was clumsy—his movements wobbly and crooked, like a toddler taking its first steps, as if he might fall out of the sky at any moment.

Over time, however, he began to adapt to his massive form, flying more smoothly and steadily.

After half an hour:

Chen Ye had fully mastered the art of flying, controlling his body with ease.

He could even perform simple aerial maneuvers like spirals and flips.

After all, he was an adult, not a real infant.

Learning to control his dragon body was akin to learning to walk.

And for an adult, learning to walk again was quick and straightforward!

"Whew!"

A fierce wind blew as Chen Ye guided his enormous dragon body down to the ground.

"Boom!"

Perhaps due to a miscalculation, he landed a bit too quickly, causing a thunderous crash that shook the earth.

Qin Muyin felt the ground tremble beneath her feet, but compared to his earlier clumsiness, this was already a significant improvement.

Next:

Chen Ye used his thick, sturdy claws to crawl on the ground.

This, he found, was much simpler and mastered almost immediately.

"Sister Qin!"

Chen Ye crawled up to Qin Muyin and looked down at her from his towering height, his voice brimming with excitement.

"I want to test some of the Azure Dragon's attack capabilities. You should step back for safety."

Qin Muyin looked up at the majestic dragon head.

Just as she was about to back away, a thought struck her.

"Chen Ye, if you want to test your abilities, why not head to the front lines? You could help the military clear out some monsters and reduce their burden," she suggested.

Hearing this:

Chen Ye didn't hesitate long. His massive dragon head nodded several times.

"That makes sense. But… about my identity…"

"Don't worry!" Qin Muyin immediately reassured him, knowing what he meant.

"No one else will know about this… at least not from me."

The two had once cooperated in a secret realm and lived together for over a year.

Naturally, they had built trust.

Chen Ye had no doubts about Qin Muyin's promise.

"Alright then, Sister Qin, where are the most monsters? Take me there!"

"No problem!" Qin Muyin laughed.

"I'm also curious to see how powerful you've become in your Azure Dragon form."

"Let's set out now!" Chen Ye said.

But Qin Muyin didn't move.

Instead, she suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Chen Ye, you're now the first giant dragon in history.

I wonder… could you indulge my curiosity and let me experience what it feels like to be a dragon rider, like in those novels?"

Chen Ye: "…"

Good heavens!

I thought we were friends.

And now you want to ride me?

"Well, climb on," Chen Ye sighed.

After all, the Azure Dragon Fruit had been provided by her.

For that alone, he couldn't refuse her request.

"Alright!"

Qin Muyin's face lit up with a childlike smile as she leapt onto Chen Ye's dragon body.

She seated herself on his neck, gripping the long strands of hair that extended from the back of his head.

She remembered that in novels and movies, dragon riders often held on this way.

She didn't consider grabbing his horns—not because she didn't want to, but because his current form was so massive that the distance between his two horns exceeded ten meters.

No human could grasp both horns at once.

In fact, sitting on Chen Ye's neck felt like sitting on solid ground.

However, Qin Muyin had overlooked an important detail: the soul within this massive dragon was still very much human.

The current situation was…

Chen Ye was being ridden by a woman.

And she was sitting on his neck.

What's more, with Qin Muyin sitting astride him, her legs slightly apart, Chen Ye's highly sensitive dragon senses could pick up… a distinct and fresh aroma.

Fresh seafood.

Hiss!

That scent struck directly at Chen Ye's very soul…

"Set off!!"

Qin Muyin cheered excitedly, unaware of the awkwardness she had inadvertently caused.

Her joy resembled that of a carefree young girl.

Chen Ye quickly suppressed his wandering thoughts and soared into the sky, carrying Qin Muyin with him.

"Head north. The situation there is particularly tense, and the monster numbers are the highest," she directed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye adjusted his course and flew swiftly toward the north.

His speed was astonishing.

With a burst of acceleration, he covered several kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Given his massive form, such speed created intense air resistance, which could have overwhelmed an ordinary human.

Fortunately, Qin Muyin wasn't ordinary.

Activating her telekinetic shield, she easily negated the effects of the wind, keeping herself entirely unaffected.

In this regard, she was indeed a qualified "dragon rider."

Meanwhile, in an unknown region of space:

A planet was nearing the end of its life.

Its core had been severely damaged, the surface continually cracking and spewing flames.

Having lost its magnetic field and gravitational balance, the planet was now unable to resist the gravitational pull of a nearby celestial body and was rapidly hurtling toward it.

The planet's fate was sealed—utter destruction awaited.

As for its inhabitants?

Long gone. They were either killed or taken captive.

Nearby, a massive interstellar battleship hovered in space.

The architects of this planetary destruction were none other than the owners of this battleship.

Within the battleship, countless alien creatures of bizarre shapes were bustling about.

Suddenly, a smaller spacecraft exited from warp speed and docked with the main battleship.

A group of aliens quickly disembarked and headed to the command chamber, kneeling before a throne.

Moments later:

The battleship seemed to set its sights on a new target, altering its course and heading in a specific direction.

On Blue Planet:

In the northern region of Xia Nation, where the climate was perpetually cold, the freezing weather often hampered the soldiers' ability to perform at full strength.

As a result, the front lines remained tense.

If not for the occasional aid of powerful individuals, this line of defense might have already been breached by monsters.

At this moment, it was precisely 4:00 PM.

A group of soldiers was rotating shifts.

"Old Li, no monster activity today?" one soldier asked.

"There was a wave of mindless ones earlier. They've been taken care of," Old Li replied.

"Sigh! I've been stationed here for four years now.

I wonder how much longer we'll have to hold this line."

"Missing home?" Old Li teased.

"Of course, I do.

When I left, my baby was still nursing.

I don't even know if she'd recognize me now," the soldier admitted wistfully.

"If you really want to go back, I can speak to the commander and see if you can get a transfer," Old Li offered.

"Forget it.

I was just talking.

We're shorthanded everywhere—getting a transfer is easier said than done," the soldier sighed.

"By the way, there's been quite a few monsters today.

Be extra careful during your shift," Old Li reminded him.

"Got it.

Go take a break!"

Conversations like this played out across the camp.

Suddenly, a loud shout broke the monotony:

"Look up!

What's that?!"

Everyone instinctively raised their heads.

What they saw left them all stunned, their jaws practically hitting the floor.

"Is… is that a dragon?"

"Holy hell!

It really is a dragon!"

"Aren't dragons supposed to be mythical creatures?

How is this possible?"

"It's heading straight for us!"

"Sound the alarm!"

Instantly, the entire military camp was thrown into chaos as alarms blared.

Soldiers and officers who had been resting grabbed their weapons, readying themselves for combat.

"What's going on?" the camp's commander bellowed.

"Why is the alarm sounding?

Where's the monster?"

"In… in the sky!" a soldier stammered, pointing upward.

When the commander looked up, his expression changed drastically.

"What the hell is that?

A dragon?"

A subordinate rushed over and asked loudly, "Commander, should we open fire?"

"Of course!

Even if it's a dragon, it's probably a monster.

Open fire, now!" the commander ordered.

With the command given, the camp's artillery roared to life.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several anti-aircraft cannons locked onto the massive figure in the sky, unleashing a barrage of firepower.

In the sky:

Seeing the soldiers below firing at him, Chen Ye's enormous dragon eyes revealed a helpless expression.

He couldn't blame the soldiers.

If he were in their shoes and saw a dragon flying overhead, his first instinct would also be to attack and bring it down.

This military camp was a crucial stronghold, the last line of defense against the monsters.

Its importance couldn't be understated.

"Didn't you inform them in advance, Sister Qin?" Chen Ye asked.

Qin Muyin, hearing this, looked a bit embarrassed.

"I've been trying to contact the military, but the signal here is poor.

And with you flying so fast, it's even weaker.

I haven't been able to reach them yet…

Never mind, Chen Ye, wait here for a moment.

I'll go down and explain things myself," she said.

"Alright," Chen Ye agreed, hovering mid-air without descending further.

Though he wasn't afraid of the anti-aircraft fire, he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Waiting a bit longer wouldn't hurt.

As for how Qin Muyin planned to explain his presence to the military, Chen Ye wasn't worried.

He trusted her completely, given her promise to keep his identity confidential.

Soon:

A green light enveloped Qin Muyin as she gracefully descended.

Seeing her arrival, the artillery fire below quickly ceased.
