Chapter 66: Shrunken

Her eyes winced in pain as the dragon bit her finger. She pulled her hand away, wanting to inspect the injury, however, she could not find any injury on her finger.

Su Ruan frowned, wondering if it was only her imagination.

She had thought that the dragon's teeth were a little sharp and her fingers would bleed. Surprisingly, there was no sign of anything.

Su Ruan turned to the dragon again, noticing that he had stopped making too much fuss. Her gaze fell on the injury on his body ad her lips parted as she watched how his injury had slowly healed by itself.

This… was too magical, right?

Suddenly, Su Ruan was having a hard time believing everything that she had seen that night. If it was not for the slight pain on her finger, Su Ruan would believe that everything she experienced was nothing more than just a dream.

In a few minutes, the wound on the dragon's body had stopped bleeding. His skin was repaired and finally, it stopped, leaving only a deep scar.

Long Fei glanced at this scar and huffed in frustration. Although it was merely a scar, Long Fei knew best that if he was to shift in his human form, the wound would show on his body.

However, he could not deny that it was amazing that he could heal this much with a tiny drop of Su Ruan's blood.

This was why his grandfather had always pressed that it was important for him to find his partner. It was also the reason why his parents were inseparable after they were married.

Satisfied with his recovery, Long Fei moved his head and nudged Su Ruan's hand again. The way he was acting now was almost like a puppy.

"You… are healed." Su Ruan muttered softly.

The dragon lifted his head to meet her eyes and blinked.

A thought came to her mind and Su Ruan looked at the creature in puzzlement. "Are you… thanking me?"

The dragon nodded softly before he let out a huff.

Su Ruan glanced at the injury spot on his body again and saw that other than a small scar, there was no other sign that hinted that he was injured before.

She raised her hand hesitantly and patted at the dragon's head. A thought came to her mind and she spoke again, "The last time I fell into the water… I saw you, didn't I?"

Long Fei did not answer her this time but continued to watch her expression.

He wondered if this girl would link this creature to Long Fei. If she found out, then how would she react? Would she think of him as a freak?

"You are the legendary lake's dragon, aren't you? Now that you are healed, are you going back into the water?" Su Ruan asked.

A light flashed in his eyes. Whatever he do now, he could not return to the water temporarily. That troublesome group was tricky. Who knew if they were already waiting by the water to keep their eye on him.

If he wanted to heal properly, the only thing he could do now was to stay by Su Ruan's side.

With this thought in mind, Long Fei leaned over and put his head in Su Ruan's lap.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Su Ruan did not know whether she should be afraid of this dragon or not. His reaction was simply too adorable, right?

"You… want to stay with me?" Su Ruan asked.

The dragon slithered closer to her and coiled his body around her. His head continued to rub against her hand.

Su Ruan could not help but found that the situation was a little strange. The dragon's fierce look did not seem to match his action.

"I have to go back to the house before anyone would realize that I have gone missing," Su Ruan said with a helpless tone. "You can't possibly stay with me like this." She braved herself to touch his head. "You should go back into the water. That is where your home, right?"

Long Fei raised his head to look at her and realized that she was right.

They both could not stay here for too long. Otherwise, someone might notice something.

A thought came to his mind and Long Fei groaned. He really did not like this idea but it seemed that it was the only way for him to survive.

Moreover, now that the bullet was extracted from his body, he could use his power back.

Long Fei hesitated, wondering if this will be the right decision.

Seeing the look on Su Ruan's face, Long Fei finally made up his mind. Even though he hated doing this the most, it was the only way for him to stay close to her.

Su Ruan was dumbfounded upon noticing that the dragon began to move away from her. She had thought that with the way he had acted around her, the dragon would want to continue to pester her, asking her to stay around.

She could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, she soon noticed that there was a change in the dragon's body.

It seemed that his body had shrunken a little bit?

Su Ruan continued to watch the creature with her mouth slightly agape.

In just a few seconds, she had witnessed how the dragon's body shrunken until he became very small. Once the shift was over, the dragon lay on her lap for a long time, as if he was too tired after that shift.

A thought came to her mind and Su Ruan could not help but blurted it out. "Mu… shu?" Su Ruan was reminded of the dragon character in that Disney movie, Mulan.

Long Fei tilted his head up quickly and stared back at Su Ruan in anger when he heard that name. He huffed at her but the effect did not work as well as he had thought due to his small size.

That stupid name! That stupid dragon!

This was the reason he hated shifting into this size.

Even though he was in danger, Long Fei would refuse to shift into this form. But it was also due to his stubbornness that the group of people was unaware that he still have this skill to adjust his body to any size that he liked.

Now that she was no longer afraid of him, Su Ruan scooped the tiny dragon into her hand and gave him a look over. Suddenly, a smile curled on her lips.. "You're adorable."
