The land of the beautiful moon...

The angry Dragon looked at the three men who were surrounding him and looking at him with displeasure written on their faces.

But the one who irked him the most was none other than the man in the black and red brocade robes who was looking at him with cold eyes. His face was a mask of disapproval and disappointment.

It only made the Dragon breathe out a surge of Fire in anger which broke the rocks around him into crumbles and dust.

It was him, the Dragon, who was supposed to be angry from all his Bond mates who had left him all alone, but to his disappointment, the man was looking at him, not with softness in his beautiful and captivating eyes but irritation.

The only one from whom he's not angry was his Ming'er since she wasn't aware of their bond yet. But the other two didn't have a single excuse for ignoring him.

He huffed out a puff of smoke and turned around, neglecting the presence of those three unimportant persons who were standing at the top of the cliff.

"Why exactly is he being so stubborn and rebellious?" The man in black and red brocade robes asked with a frown.

Zhang was acting too out of his character.

"He's feeling neglected I think!" Ruoshan answered his brother's question as he kept his eyes trained on the dragon.

The frown on the man in red and black robes only deepened as he glanced at his brother who raised one of his eyebrows while returning his look.

His mind was in an uproar because of the lilac fragrance that was clinging to all of them, Zhang Yong who was currently in his dragon form, his brother Ruoshan and even Lord Yueliang.

He now remembered exactly how he first came across that fragrance for the very first time. It was back when his brother visited him about one and a half months ago after someone had rescued him from the Black Devil's Circle.

The lilac and honey mixed fragrance was clinging on him. He personally didn't like fragrances but that one was an exception. He had felt a sense of familiarity with it even though he had never come across it before.

Exactly how his 'Sweet Prey' was related to all these three people who were a part of his life? He thought as he glanced at his brother and the Moon Deity.

"As far as I remember he was the one who wanted to stay in the Han Empire as the Fourth Prince. Seeing that, I don't think he has any right to act like this." His voice was cold and indifferent.

If he could, the Dragon would really have pouted at the words of the Demon Prince of the Southern Province. But unfortunately, dragons didn't look cute while pouting. So, he simply dismissed the idea.

"Still you kept in contact with each other after he came to the Han Empire. But you haven't met him for the past nine months, even though you know very well that he needs tactile contact with at least one of his bonds." This time it was Lord Yueliang who spoke and from his tone, it was clear that he was not happy with the Second Demon Prince's behavior.

"I thought that Wen Guiying will take care of him in my absence. There were some strange movements happening in the 'Volcano of Flames'. I just went to take a look at that. Never knew that I would be trapped there for almost seven months, fighting some weird looking creatures." The Prince defended himself as he explained the reason behind his absence.

"Speaking of Wen Guiying, the Supreme Immortal has been Zhang Yong's constant target for the past nine months. You should be prepared to face him after you made him suffer." Ruoshan informed his brother with a small twitch of his lips.

The Second Demon Prince closed his eyes for a few seconds to calm his mind down. But then he heard his brother speaking again.

"Then what about your sudden visit to the Wang and Jin Empire? As far as I know, you have done exactly nothing there in these past two months." Ruoshan asked with a sparkle in his eyes which only made the Second Demon Prince more suspicious.

Both Ruoshan and Lord Yueliang had a slight idea exactly what was the reason behind his brother's sudden visit to the Wang and Jin Empire but none of them were eager to end his misery.

The Second Demon Prince was left speechless for a few seconds. He hated it when all his Senior brothers started targeting him at the same time.

For the rest of the world, he was a dangerous, cold-blooded, ruthless, destructive, and tricky Demon Prince of the Southern Province. Everyone feared him and at the same time also could not stop themselves from admiring him for his high cultivation powers and breathtaking beauty.

But that same Demon Prince became a little brother when it comes to their friend group.

He was the youngest out of all of them but every time all of them started to point out his wrongs, he felt like a toddler who was being scolded by his Elders.

Just wait for the moment when the ruler of his heart would finally take over him. That would be a memory to behold!

"I just wanted to spend some time away from all the chaos." That's the only thing that he thought of saying.

Obviously, this gifted him with two pairs of raised eyebrows and mocking eyes.

While these three were busy bantering among themselves, the Dragon was fuming in anger down below in the Valley of Ice Spirit River.

First, he was ignored when the Second Prince was not here and even after returning, he's still ignoring him. This was too much for the fragile heart of Zhang Yong to take in as he was already felt left out.

Without waiting for a single more second, he leaped into the air and soared high in the sky.

He heard some loud voices calling him but he ignored all of them. Then a deep cold and demanding voice entered his mind, ordering him to return back on the ground, but he ignored it too.

A portal formed in the thin air a few meters away in front of him and in the next few seconds, he entered the portal which closed itself behind him.

"Where is he going now? To see the Supreme Immortal?" The Second Demon Prince asked particularly to no one but he still got a reply which only made his frown deepen.

*********

In the calming environment of the Xiao Tiantang, a girl was continuously hitting a punching bag which was levitating in the thin air beside the pond.

Her movements were timed perfectly and precisely. Looking at her body actions it was clear that she had been familiar with a punching bag for a long time.

Her long hair was pulled in a high ponytail with a few loose strands falling down her neck. She was wearing a white crop top and black shorts along with black boots.

Sweat glistened on her body as the rays of the sunlight, which was approaching noon in an hour, fell on her.

Her hair was sticking to her neck, shoulders, and arms due to the sweat but even after her disarrayed and sweaty appearance, she looked like a goddess in her glory.

The water pixies were playing in the pond with Snowy and Mallow. Their laughter and squeals were taking over the silence of the Xiao Tiantang.

Li Ming stopped punching the bag and put her forehead against it to catch her breath. She had been training this new body of hers for the past six months and she could finally see some results.

Her height has increased in these past months. She was now 4'11" which was still too small for her age and liking. She was 5'6" back in her previous life and she wanted that exact height here too if not more.

It took her barely five minutes before she was once again full of energy. The spiritual energy in the air took over her tiredness and restored her stamina.

Once again she was back to punching and kicking the bag with her fluid movements.

A loud shriek stopped her in the middle of a punch after about ten minutes or so.

Li Ming hurriedly turned around to look exactly what happened that made the pixies cried out.

Her eyes widened as she took in the shape of a dragon that was flying directly towards her. She was about to launch a ball of energy at the coming danger when the dragon suddenly dived with lightning speed and the next thing she knew, she was surrounded by large and powerful wings that draped her into a cocoon and she was tucked in the embrace of the Dragon.

What the actual hell was happening here?
