Long Yi added.

"Huh? You know? Could it be..."

Before Wesley could finish what he was saying, Long Yi had already grabbed hold of his collar, hoisting him up to his own height.

"Listen here, wee Wesley, weren’t you supposed to be the best at gathering information? Why didn’t you tell me the moment you found out?"

Wesley was now in a pitiable state, "Isn’t it because you beat me up? After that punch, I was so dazed I couldn’t even think straight!"

Long Yi looked flabbergasted. He put down Wesley and sighed inwardly, "I screwed up my moment of genius, how am I going to explain this to Elsa."

As it turned out, earlier, Long Yi was secretly celebrating. The glowing cocoon would only appear when union is complete, only when trust and interdependence are achieved between the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Knight. During this time, Dragon Blood Rebirth will transform into Dragon Blood Symbiosis and the dragon and the knight will become one.

This meant that the Dragon Knight would possess all the powers of the Dragon Clan. Its potential was limitless.

As Long Yi looked on, the light cocoon burst open, Alli’s body slowly floated out, Long Yi quickly stepped forward to catch her.

However, the feeling of her in his arms was inexplicably strange.

Her body was softer than he imagined, her butt was bigger than he thought, he could vaguely see her bulging chest, and her hair seemed longer.

Wait!

A girl?

Long Yi was dumbstruck.

Wasn’t Arin a lovable little boy?

Could it be that Dragon Blood Rebirth transformed him into a girl?

Just then, the glow faded completely, and Long Yi could finally see the person in his arms clearly.

The face was clearly Arin’s, but more delicate, and even more adorable. Her body was slender and tall,

Upon a closer look, her chest wasn’t very big, but beautifully shaped; her waist was thin and soft; her legs were long and strong.

Wait, why am I not putting her down? Am I behaving like a pervert?

And why is her face starting to turn red?

Suddenly, incredibly fine dragon scales appeared from Arin’s toes to her neck. The scales melded into one another, making it look like a tight silver bodysuit. A pair of tiny dragon wings appeared on her back, they were cute, but Long Yi wondered if they could fly.

Oh no!

She woke up!

Thud!

Honest man, Long Yi jolted, and Arin fell straight to the ground!

Arin, who was previously pretending to be unconscious, couldn’t pretend any longer. She opened her eyes, her face flushed, and looked at Long Yi, not knowing what to say.

"Well, actually, I didn’t see anything, it was covered, yes, it was all covered."

Long Yi’s words were incoherent.

Arin was feeling shy, but when she saw Long Yi looking even more flustered than her, a giggle escaped her.

I have been despised! Oh my god! I’ve been despised! Is it my fault? Is it wrong that I am a virgin? Back in my day, I only knew how to pilot fighter planes and fight in wars, I didn’t have time for dating, is it wrong that I haven’t seen a naked woman? Yes, I do have a girlfriend in this world, but she is way stronger than me, had it not been for my thick skin, she would have ravished me long ago, who would dare touch a hair on her head? Is it wrong that I am pure and innocent?

Long Yi’s face turned awkward, pale as a ghost. He turned around, unlocked the door and found himself face to face with Wesley.

Consequently, poor Wesley became the punching bag.

Meanwhile, inside the room, the girl had already gotten up from the ground, looking left and right in the mirror at her new self. Her heart fluttered, a semi-transparent silver dragon manifesting in her hand, cheerfully chattering at her.

This was Silver Flash’s new form, the Dragon Soul.

She could feel the ceaseless flow of magical power coursing through her body, the towering seven layers of magical power was enough to unleash unprecedented strength, but the way the magic worked was a bit weird.

However, the present Arin was not in the mood to ponder such things.

Outside the room, Long Yi stared blankly into the distance, thinking, why me.

Wesley was also aimlessly staring into the distance, wondering, why he always gets beat up.

Bajie was staring blankly into the distance, thinking, when would they eat.

From behind, the door to the ward cracked open slightly, revealing Arin’s blushing face, she asked timidly:

"Brother Long, are you angry?"

Long Yi turned around, and immediately, his thick-skinned face turned red again.

Damn it! Who am I scared of! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"No!"

Long Yi replied in as gentle a voice as he could.

"So... you all, come in, okay?"

The same shy voice as before.

Long Yi stood up, heading for the ward with rigid strides. Wesley and Bajie followed closely behind.

In the ward, Arin sat at the edge of the bed, still naked. After completing the Dragon Blood Symbiosis, Arin now possessed the consciousness of the Dragon Clan. The clan’s attire consisted of a layer of delicate dragon scales, negating the need for any extra clothing that might hinder her in battle.

"My name is Arin, or rather, I should be called Ai Lin-Kai Long. I am the little granddaughter of General Kai Long of the Iron Blood and the most unwilling secret of the Kai Long family to share with outsiders: a powerless genius who brought shame to General Kai Long."

Ai Lin slowly revealed her so-called ’secret.’

It was a secret known to almost everyone among the high-ranking nobility- the overbearing Iron Blood General Kai Long and his once bragged about magic prodigy. General Kai Long held high expectations for Ai Lin because her alliance with her silver mithril dragon demonstrated phenomenal talent. However, as she grew older, the magic power the mithril dragon could provide for Ai Lin gradually decreased until it disappeared completely a few years ago. Since the dragon could no longer provide Ai Lin with any Dragon Power, naturally she was void of any magic power as well. The boasting backfired into a blunder for Kai Long, leaving him unable to hold his head up high among his peers.

Countless attempted treatments proved futile, gradually causing the family to lose patience with her. Ai Lin, on the other hand, never gave up. She worked hard, but she couldn’t ignore the unfortunate fact that despite being a genius with the halo of a seven-layer Mage, she had neither magic power nor Fighting Aura.

Finally, Ai Lin managed to enroll in the Dragon Rider Academy with her talents. She hoped they would have a cure for her condition. Though she knew she was only looking to distance herself from her family, and the family shared the same hope.

So, Ai Lin sought out the most formidable Dragon Mage under her grandfather’s command and asked her to perform a permanent transformation spell, transforming her into a boy. If she couldn’t recover, Ai Lin’s plan was to vanish without a trace and never return to the family. She did not expect the treatment method found by Long Yi to cure her ailment and simultaneously break her years of mental barrier.

"I’m not going back,"

Ai Lin said.

"I want to be with Brother Long!"

Ai Lin announced loudly.

"I already have a girlfriend."

Long Yi responded instantly. He didn’t feel anything particular upon hearing Ai Lin’s story. Happy people experience happiness in their own ways, and so do the unfortunate. At that moment, his mind was still filled with the shock from earlier.

Ai Lin giggled with her hand over her mouth. Her cheeks were flushed, but she didn’t say anything else.

Ai Lin was fully recovered now. There was no need for her to stay. The challenge now was how to leave.

It wasn’t that Ai Lin was shy, she just didn’t have a pair of proper shoes to wear.

The boots Ai Lin used to wear were standard military footwear from the Academy. After reverting to a girl, the boots were too big for her. In any case, she declared obstinately that she wouldn’t wear them even if they did fit.

Apparently, they didn’t match her dazzling silver style.The Silver Dragon could have morphed into a pair of shoes to fit her if it hadn’t merged with Ai Lin in the Dragon Blood Symbiosis. Now, a transformation was evidently not possible.

For this, Long Yi was confused. Ai Lin, who could accept nudity, could not bear the thought of walking barefoot.

No wonder women from the previous world were frenzied about buying a whole heap of different styles of shoes, many of which they never wore. It seems that shoes are incredibly important to a girl!

Fortunately, Long Yi had a solution. He hurriedly left the ward. About two hours later, he scurried back, holding a pair of silver, feminine knight boots.

The boots had soft lambskin lining, polished metal on the exterior, and with Long Yi’s sharp calculations, the size and calf width of the boots were a perfect match to Ai Lin’s measurements.

Additionally, these knight boots had a feature that had never existed in this world before.

Heels.

Yes, that’s the secret to a poised stature, the origin of confidence!

Heels!

It was a pair of boots straight out of the Dwarves’ smithy from Golden Hammer. When the dwarf saw the heel, his first reaction was one of disdain. He ridiculed that such a superficial height enhancer would become the subject of mockery. However, Long Yi thought otherwise. While he was making his pair, he instructed Golden Hammer to make several pairs identical to the one he was currently manufacturing.

Long Yi firmly believed that, regardless of which world, everyone shares a common love for beauty.

The moment Ai Lin laid her eyes on these boots, she was captivated. She tried them on, walked a few steps, quickly mastering the technique of walking in heels. Looking at herself in the mirror, she looked even taller and, subconsciously lifting her head and chest due to the heels, appeared highly confident.

"This is... truly... amazing."

Ai Lin couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the confident girl in the mirror. Such immense power coming from a pair of heels!

That, of course, was impossible.

Long Yi was certain that Ai Lin’s confidence came from her own power, and, naturally, the faintly arrogant aura of the Dragon Clan in her bloodline.

"Brother Long, won’t these boots with heels be unstable for walking?"

Wesley asked in a soft voice.

"They’ll get used to it."

Long Yi replied. He didn’t add much height to the heels. The moderately high, thick heels were already very ordinary and considerably stable compared to the so-called skyscraper heels in his previous world.

"But, these boots are not suitable for fighting, right?"

Wesley asked again.

"Are you kidding? Would you fight in a formal evening suit?"

Long Yi retorted.

Wesley paused. Of course, he knew that. He just didn’t expect someone as masculine as Long Yi to have a sense of fashion.
