Seeing Shao Zifeng’s body tremble violently, Qiuqiu immediately puffed up with anger and let out a furious roar towards the continuously rolling clouds of snow dust.

Following Qiuqiu’s roar, the tumbling clouds on the snowy mountain abruptly halted, and the pressure on Shao Zifeng disappeared in an instant.

He gasped for air, wiping the sweat from his forehead, guessing that this must be what it felt like to be oppressed by Qiuqiu’s dragon might.

His gaze swept across the clouds, and just as his body started to relax, it tensed up again. In the midst of the rolling snow dust clouds, he saw two enormous orbs staring right at them.

Are those… eyes?

Eyes bigger than patio doors.

No wonder some people have megalophobia; they’re just too huge!

The worst part is that the specks of light in my peripheral vision seem dead, not daring to move an inch.

“A little Western insect?” the enormous orbs said with interest, focusing on Qiuqiu: “Even the king of your kind didn’t dare to bare his teeth before me, yet you have some nerve.”

Hiss.

That tone doesn’t sound very friendly. Could it be an enemy?

Shao Zifeng swallowed hard, managing to squeeze out a forced smile on his face.

“It’s still young, just joking with you…”

“Roar!”

Qiuqiu trembled, but stubbornly continued to roar with its neck outstretched, refusing to submit.

Shao Zifeng quickly pulled it down from his shoulder and held it in his arms, covering its mouth.

Next time, I really need to teach this kid what’s called strategic submission.

With this personality, it’s bound to be beaten to death sooner or later.

“Young man from the Dong Huang clan, there’s no need to be nervous.”

Clanking like the sound of metal striking metal, those huge eyes turned towards Shao Zifeng, sizing him up.

Shao Zifeng actually felt a trace of kindness from its gaze…

What the hell!

I actually felt kindness!

“Your bloodline is fairly pure, but you are too weak. It seems the Dong Huang clan is in dire straits now… Eh, you even possess a divine gift, though this one is somewhat useless. If it were back in the day, you might qualify for Feeding Hunting…”

The deep voice resonated at the bottom of Shao Zifeng’s heart, not attempting to hide at all.

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, suppressing the urge not to speak.

Currently still unsure of the stranger’s origins and considering the size of these eyes, he knew he couldn’t afford to offend it.

After evaluating Shao Zifeng, it seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

“Young man of the Dong Huang clan, how many offspring do you have now?”

“This one…” Shao Zifeng looked at the two eyes several times bigger than himself, a bit confused about what to call it.

“Hahaha.” Seeing his puzzlement, the voice laughed in his heart: “Technically I am many generations your senior, but I’ll let you call me Grandpa as a concession.”

Shao Zifeng’s face darkened.

I’d like to take that concession too, why don’t we switch places?

“Alright, you really don’t know what’s good for you, child. Back then, your ancestors wouldn’t stop calling me Grandpa, and even that didn’t interest me.” The voice deepened with displeasure: “Dong Huang clan is the name of your ancestors; has it ceased to be called that?”

Shao Zifeng thought carefully and answered earnestly, “I’ve never heard of it; nowadays, we are known as Xia.”

“Xia…”

Upon hearing this word, the voice suddenly paused; it stopped speaking for a long while as if lost in some recollection.

After a moment, it spoke with a sigh: “Calling it Xia is fine too… I never expected the least promising lad from back then to continue a bloodline for the Dong Huang clan.”

“Boy, how many descendants does your Xia clan have now?”

It seemed genuinely concerned about this question, staring intently at Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng pondered…

After years of recuperation, the population of the Great Xia had grown quite rapidly. Although he hadn’t followed any census, he still had a general impression.

“The Great Xia now has about six hundred million people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a hint of sorrow in those eyes.

“Six hundred million… Only 6 ones left?”

Shao Zifeng was baffled.

Wait a minute.

Something’s wrong with your accent.

“It’s several billion, not several ones.”

Shao Zifeng cautiously corrected.

“Kid, no need to console me, the bloodline of the Xia has always had a sparse population. I should have known this long ago.”

As he spoke, Shao Zifeng felt himself enveloped by a powerful wave of sadness.

No, you got it all wrong…

It seems like you’ve misunderstood something.

Shao Zifeng thought for a moment, “This ‘yi’ is a unit of measurement.”

“Of course, I know ‘yi’ is a technical unit, just like when we won a great victory, my brother would reward me with a female dragon…”

Slap!

Shao Zifeng covered his forehead with his hand.

He felt that if he kept talking this way, he would get tangled up in it.

Shao Zifeng’s mind spun rapidly. Based on his scant historical knowledge, the unit ‘yi’ didn’t seem to equate to the same value as it did in ancient times.

For instance, during the Western Han period, ‘yi’ represented one hundred thousand, and it seemed it wasn’t used before that.

The one before him, who kept saying ‘the Xia’ this and that, seemed to be from an ancient era.

Maybe he should try using a smaller unit?

With this in mind, Shao Zifeng cautiously asked, “Do you know what ‘wan’ is?”

“Wan?”

The huge eyes became somewhat vacant, then Shao Zifeng heard a voice inside his mind.

“I once had ten female dragons. Ten times ten is one hundred, ten hundreds are one thousand, ten thousands are…”

At this point, it got stuck and glanced vaguely at Shao Zifeng.

“Ten thousands make a wan.”

“Great Xia now has six wan wan people.”

After saying that sentence, Shao Zifeng suddenly felt much more relaxed.

“Six… how many?”

The eyes amidst the snow and fog snapped into focus, and the stammering voice exploded in Shao Zifeng’s heart.

“Six wan wan, which means six wan times ten thousand.”

“Six wan wan… Six wan wan.”

Boom!

The Forgotten Glacier suddenly shook violently, and the snow dust enshrouding the iceberg churned fiercely once again.

Accompanied by the clinking of metal, the dull scales under the clouds appeared and disappeared intermittently.

“Roar!!”

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar that could pierce the heavens and the earth resounded.

Inside the Forgotten Cold River, all the mutant creatures turned towards the iceberg, trembling as they lay down on the ice field.

The clouds kept rolling, and the eyes that were originally obscured by the snow dust grew brighter and brighter.

From the swirling snow, a huge head emerged. It was the head of a dragon.

The blue and white skin of the dragon’s head was covered with blue mane. Compared to the dragons of legend, its appearance was more ferocious, the thick mane was hornless, giving it a bald look in the middle.

The ice-blue pupils reflected a shimmering light. It wanted to stretch out further, but it seemed as though it was trapped within the misty snow.

It was then that Shao Zifeng saw the iron chains hanging all over its body. To him, each chain was massive, almost as wide as his own body.

But to the dragon before him, they could only secure its whiskers and mane; even its scales bore marks from the chains.

“Six wan wan! Child of the Donghuang tribe, are you certain it’s six wan wan?”

The hornless dragon before him looked at Shao Zifeng with a crazed gaze.

“I’m certain!”

“Six wan wan.”

“Hahaha, that’s great! Heaven has not forsaken us Donghuang.”

“My Donghuang children, six wan wan. Sooner or later, we must kill…”

“Roar!”

Before it could finish speaking, the chains enshrouded in the mist suddenly lit up.

Crack.

Bolts of thunder appeared out of nowhere, zigzagging above the clouds.

The Hornless Dragon seemed to endure great pain as its body twisted violently.

Qiuqiu sensed the aura of the chains and buried its head in Shao Zifeng’s embrace, its body trembling continuously.

The little deer, on the other hand, stood uneasily by Shao Zifeng’s side, eyes filled with a wary look at the chains.
