Chapter 33: Their King

Long Yu Heng followed his cousin to the lake and watched as he stripped off his shirt.

It was nighttime and the water was too dark.

At a time like this, usually, the town's residents would not dare to enter the water. However, it was different for the Long Fei and the other first-born male in the family.

It was during this time that he could swim in the water peacefully.

Long Fei's toes touched the water and he slowly entered. As he dived into the water, he could no longer see the man's body.

The rippling of the water suggested that there was a large creature inside the water. From where he stood, Long Yu Heng could almost see the glitter in the water. Then, the tip of the tail came out, and with a whip, the water splashed into his face.

Long Yu Heng screamed and cursed as he wiped the droplets on his face. "Long Fei!"

That man was doing this on purpose!

Long Yu Heng looked at his wet shirt and regretted that he decided to follow this man to the lake.

"Are you not going into the water?"

The voice came to his mind.

This was something that Long Fei could do when he had shifted into another form.

Long Yu Heng hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to take off his wet shirt and enter the water. Unlike Long Fei or his grandfather, Long Yu Heng's body would not shift to another form.

As he dived into the water, he saw Long Fei's blue and glistering scales underwater. His body was big and long. His scales were the shade of blue and purple. If anyone saw Long Fei in this form, that person would probably die in shock.

No one would believe that a dragon really exists in this world.

Long Fei continued to swim around him, leading him further into the lake water. The fishes saw the dragon and quickly parted to make way for him. They did not dare to get close to him but at the same time, they longed to get close to him.

As the dragon of the lake, Long Fei had certain power that would make the creature in the water look up to him.

To them, he was their king.

The longer he swam in the water, Long Yu Heng could feel his tiredness gradually swept away.

This was the power of the lake.

The lake was so pure that it could heal and made one feel very refreshed, especially when they were swimming alongside Long Fei.

A few minutes later, Long Yu Heng had no other choice but to swim up to breathe. He looked at the creature underneath his feet and felt slightly jealous that the man did not have to swim up to take a breath.

However, when he thought of everything that Long Fei had to suffer, Long Yu Heng thought that being born without the ability to shift was actually a good thing.

Their grandfather had always said that the blood in their body was a blessing. But after spending his time with Long Fei ever since he was a little kid, Long Yu Heng was starting to believe that this was more of a curse.

Long Fei might have a certain ability that most people did not have but to have that, he could not live life like a normal person.

After swimming around for a while, the cousins swam back to the shore.

The moment Long Fei came out of the water, the scale on his body had disappeared. Looking at him now, anyone would think of him as a normal person.

Long Yu Heng grabbed the towel which was prepared at the side cabin and threw it to Long Fei. He watched as the man wiped the water from his hair and asked, "Are you feeling better now."

"Hmm…" Each time that he entered the lake water, every discomfort on his body would immediately disappear.

However, Long Fe did not like it that he was too reliant on this lake.

Long Yu Heng chuckled. After spending a long time beside Long Fei, how could he not understand what was going on in Long Fei's mind?

The two of them sat at the wooden platform as they watched the calm lake water as well as the twinkling stars in the sky.

"Will you blame me if the blood ended with me and the family might not be able to enjoy as much wealth as we did now?" Long Fei spoke after a long silence between them.

"Of course, not." Long Yu Heng looked at his cousin and sighed. "You know very well that I don't mind the wealth. What we have now is enough to last for a few generations."

"But not everyone had the same thinking like you."

Long Fei trusted his cousin, Long Yu Heng a lot.

To him, this cousin was different than the rest of his family members. This was the reason why he had chosen Long Yu Heng as the person who would assist him in this life.

Long Fei thought about how the elders would look at him. They were always so respectful towards him, the junior. However, Long Fei knew that there was a reason for it.

Behind his back, most of them thought of him as a freak.

If only this power was something that could be transferred over, Long Fei did not doubt that the member of his family would try to do something to take this power away from him.

Unfortunately, this power was something that he was born with and would disappear once he died.

The elders and the rest of his family members could only protect his life because they do not want what they have to disappear.

"Are you sure that this is what you want?" Long Yu Heng asked, snapping Long Fei out of his thought. "You have spent a while being close to her. You know very well how she could make you feel. You don't have to rely on the lake as much with Miss Su by your side."

Long Fei let out a long breath. "Yu Heng, don't try to persuade me anymore. I have already made my decision. Perhaps, the two of us are really not meant to be. Perhaps, I am destined to live alone in this life."

A deep frown appeared on Long Yu Heng's face. He did not like the words that Long Fei had spoken.

"Don't think too much of it.. If we are really fated, then the two of us will surely meet again."
