Samsara Online

A gentle breeze of wind blew through the place and everyone’s hair swayed slightly as their gaze remained fixed on the distant horizon.

A few seconds had passed, but they were all seconds of silence.

After the Infinite Lightning Phoenix abruptly withdrew, just as abruptly as her arrival had been, each person seemed to be in a trance as each of them tried to comprehend the hidden meaning behind the words that the strongest creature of the Adastreia Continent had uttered before.

However, the surprises were not yet over.

"Girl." The voice of the mighty Light Saint Dragon thundered. However, his voice was somewhat complex and contained emotions that none of them could comprehend. With a sigh as complex as his voice, he slowly said, "With your strength, you should have been able to stop this little dragon easily and thus prevented the death of many people and even this dragon child...*Sigh*... Forget it, you have your own internal battles. Your life is probably harder than that of this old dragon who never leaves the house."

Saying that, the Light Saint Dragon’s body glowed and began to shorten at astonishing speeds as he slowly descended from the sky. When the bright light had disappeared, the huge oriental dragon was nowhere to be seen anymore and all that remained was an old man whose hair had turned completely white. However, although it seemed that this old man was extremely weak, the radiance in his golden eyes was as clear and powerful as two bright flashes of lightning in the middle of the gloomy night.

"It’s been a while... No, not that long." Long Bai looked at Xie Feng with a rare smile and nodded.

Xie Feng, who still remained stunned like everyone else, quickly bowed and replied respectfully, Sir Long Bai, although I haven’t seen you for two months your vigor is still as impressive as ever."

Even if he had his grievances with the elder dragon he shouldn’t say them out loud, or should he? Wouldn’t he be slapped to death? Xie Feng was still too young to be casually butchered like a fly.

"Hehe... Damn brat." Long Bai shook his head not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could he, who had lived thousands of times longer than Xie Feng, not understand what was going through his mind? However, his gaze soon focused on Ling Long and his eyes shone brightly.

Ling Long was in her human form and it was practically impossible for anyone who saw her to tell that she was actually a dragon and not a beauty of the human race. However, hidden in her dark eyes was a glint of madness and desire for battle that flickered constantly as if she were a mischievous child looking for some fun.

That wild glint could not escape Long Bai’s sharp gaze. He nodded softly before sighing and looking at Xie Feng, "Now do you understand how strong the little girl next to you is?"

Xie Feng looked at Ling Long and she smiled beautifully at him, revealing her smooth white teeth like perfect pearls; only when she looked at him did her desire to want to fight and tear enemies apart subside, like a baby in its mother’s arms. He patted her head affectionately and said softly, "You did very well today, Ling Long."

"Hehe... Big brother, praise me more!" Ling Long was like a puppy seeking her master’s approval and only lacked the tail and ears wagging back and forth.

"Big brother will spoil you a lot later. I promise." Xie Feng didn’t bother with his mask and took it off directly since all the people present knew who he was in real life anyway.

Not noticing the gasp that escaped Mu Yin’s lips when she saw his face, he gently kissed the dragon race beauty’s forehead, much to her delight.

Immediately, he received a reproachful look from the beauties beside him and Xie Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry at the situation. Ladies, you are all grown up, please don’t compete with a little baby. That was what he wanted to tell them.

"You will also have your cuddles later, I promise... You all did well." He could only say such words. Though it was no particular bother and he was happy to comply.

The girls’ reactions were different, some blushed, some smiled happily, some nodded in satisfaction, and some looked at him longingly. However, Xie Feng could not help but look at Ling Long and his thoughts went back to the first time he met her.

At the bottom of that seemingly bottomless abyss with no way out, a strange black egg with strange red runes lay solitary in the middle of a small room surrounded by four stone walls deep in the earth. How long had the egg been there? Xie Feng did not know.

However, when he kicked that strange egg, as if she was a princess waiting for the prince’s kiss, the small Ling Long the size of a domestic cat crawled out from inside and looked at him with a friendly smile as if he was her best friend and only family.

Back then, Xie Feng did not expect too much from his new traveling partner, and even if her stats were high, due to the fact that his power back then was overwhelmingly higher than the rest of the players at his level, he only wished he had someone to accompany him on his long and lonely journeys in search of answers to his endless questions.

Little did he expect that the little dragon that came out of that little egg would one day become the nightmare of one of the most fearsome and powerful existences in the whole world... During the battle against the Abyssal Dragon, the existence that had shone the brightest was not Shen Xinya; who had taken 50% of the boss’s health with a wave of her hands. Nor had it been Xie Feng; who could have killed the boss if he had wished to continue his attack instead of retreating to protect his loved ones.

The most brilliant existence had undoubtedly been Ling Long.

She alone had done what no one else had been able to do; completely and utterly suppress a Saint grade boss.

King Hu Yi couldn’t, Xie Feng couldn’t, Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian couldn’t either... Only Ling Long could.

Ling Long was a Heaven grade pet and among the pets she was undoubtedly the most powerful. However, at the end of the day, she was still a pet.

An Immortal grade pet could never face an Immortal grade boss, let alone suppress it. But Ling Long not only suppressed the Abyssal Dragon to the point where its scales split and it could only roar in pain; she literally crushed it completely while she was not just a pet weakened by her status, but was also two grades lower than the Saint grade boss.

What would Ling Long become if she wasn’t a pet? Probably only by being a Heaven grade boss could few existences in this land have a chance of defeating her... As for God grade Ling Long, worse yet, Saint grade... She would probably be invincible under the heavens.

Who was Ling Long? It was a question Xie Feng always asked himself but no one was there to answer for him.

But she was definitely not a mere normal pet. There was no way she was.

Probably, apart from himself, the mysteries surrounding the Ring of the God of Destruction, in addition to the Calamity Spear impossible to be completely identified by this world’s system, Ling Long was the most mysterious being in the entire Samsara world.

Even now, as a pet whose strength was fiercely suppressed by the rules of this world, Xie Feng was not even 20% confident of actually defeating Ling Long in a one-on-one battle. The only way he could defeat her was to activate Green Flame, but even then he was not 100% confident because Ling Long’s skills were practically the absolute nightmare of any melee fighter.

That’s how powerful she was.

However, such a powerful and proud beauty of the arrogant dragon race was willing to stay by his side at all times and her greatest happiness was when he talked to her or when he praised her for anything she did.

She was just as happy to receive praise from him for defeating a harmless rabbit as she was happy if he praised her for something as great as suppressing a boss of the highest grade in existence.

That’s how much she loved and appreciated him.

It didn’t matter how strong she was or how scary she would be in the future. Nor did it matter what her mysteries were; the reality and the only irrefutable truth was that she would continue to be his eternal traveling partner.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Xie Feng’s face at the thought of this.
