Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Who said opportunities can only be one?
On the second level of the carousel, Dashiell sat alone on a wooden horse, eating dessert while watching the fireworks.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, as if sensing sothing, he stared intently at the top of the clouds.
In the next second, the Flood Dragon Horn that he had just suppressed returned to quivering restlessly.
Just now, he seed to have sensed the presence of his kin!
No, that feeling is sowhat different from his kin, like it’s a higher level…
A dragon!
His potential kin!
Excitedly, Dashiell’s Flood Dragon Horn trembled, and seeing no one around, he swiftly transford into his original form and shakily flew upwards into the sky with effort.
…
On the second floor of the castle, Scarlett Jennings watched as the fireworks faded and suddenly, as if recalling sothing, she asked Samuel Chalrs,
“Earlier, when you told the guests I was your fiancée… do you mind?”
Samuel assud she was belatedly holding him accountable for announcing it without permission but didn’t expect her to ask this instead.
His dark eyes shifted as he asked her in return,
“Why would I mind?”
“After all, you are the head of the Chalrs Family…” Scarlett paused, pointing at herself, seriously said,
“And I am, first and foremost, a Master, and secondly, a mber of the Jennings Family.”
Even if their backgrounds match, Scarlett had never considered developing any real relationship with Samuel.
Because she knows her world is different from his.
She couldn’t take on the role of a fiancée.
The Chalrs Family wouldn’t want a mistress who is devoted to the Mystical Sect.
She thought this was sothing they had silently agreed upon from the start.
Thus, they always said they were dating rather than engaged in public.
Because there is a fundantal difference between a dating partner and a fiancée.
Though she didn’t state it explicitly, Samuel understood what she ant.
She had her own priorities, and nothing would change because of him.
Feeling slightly helpless, Samuel simply looked at her for a long ti and seriously responded,
“What if I said I don’t mind?”
Not even before did he ever mind this issue.
He’s always only worried if she would mind.
Scarlett, being looked at so seriously by him, felt a strange flutter in her heart, belatedly realizing that discussing this now seed rather pointless.
After all, they were pretending.
And only for a year.
Telling herself this, she nevertheless couldn’t help but ask him,
“Then if… one day, you suddenly discover soone secretly engaged you to a fiancée… would you mind?”
Although Scarlett maintained a serious expression, Samuel could still see a hint of… tension in her eyes.
Was she planning to co clean?
He hid a barely noticeable amusent in his dark eyes.
After a long pause, he slowly answered her question,
“That would depend on what kind of person that fiancée is. If that person…”
If it’s you…
Before those two words could leave his mouth, both he and Scarlett sensed sothing amiss.
Scarlett quickly turned her head.
Upon clearly seeing the little silver Flood Dragon trying to fly up in the distance, her almond eyes widened.
“Dashiell!”
Ignoring Samuel’s unfinished sentence, as soon as Scarlett recognized the little Flood Dragon, she decisively raised her hand, sending a Concealing Talisman along with spiritual power turned into a Binding Chain sweeping toward Dashiell.
Dashiell was still struggling to fly higher, but since Flood Dragons don’t fly well, and with his true form being relatively small, halfway through, he felt his body swaying in the night wind.
Barely managing to stabilize himself and prepare to keep going, the next second, he felt his tail bound by sothing.
Then, with a force from behind, Dashiell’s entire body was violently yanked backward.
Scarlett used a Binding Chain to pull him into the castle’s inner wall where she and Samuel were, finally seeing Dashiell’s original form: a nearly two-ter long slender silver Flood Dragon, its scales shimring with a silver light, stunning upon first glance.
With just one look, Scarlett retracted the amazent in her eyes and put on an angry expression,
“Who told you to transform and fly around in the sky? Do you know if soone saw and recorded it, it would cause a huge stir?”
Although after the “Inspiration” show, people were slowly beginning to accept the existence of mysticism.
But accepting mysticism and directly encountering ghosts and casually seeing demons are two different concepts.
Any change in awareness requires a gradual process.
If it causes a panic, it might even attract people from the Mystic Regulation Office.
Feeling wronged by being suddenly pulled back, Dashiell imdiately protested,
“Why are you pulling ?! I sensed a dragon above the clouds! If I fly up, I might transform into a dragon. There’s my opportunity!”
Scarlett looked at the silver Flood Dragon in front of her with a complex expression, eventually couldn’t help but ask,
“Did you drink alcohol?”
What dragon?
Where did the dragon co from?
And opportunity?
“Your opportunity is right here.”
Scarlett said, not forgetting to point at Samuel beside her.
Op·Samuel·portunity, expressionless, glanced at the little Flood Dragon before him, his peripheral vision with a hint of coldness again toward the clouds above.
Detected by a little demon, that’s useless.
Dragon: …So should I leave?
Dashiell didn’t notice the big boss’s mood and continued justifying himself to Scarlett,
“Who said there can only be one opportunity? Maybe I have many opportunities!”
Transforming into a dragon is naturally about casting a wide net.
What if he catches a big one soday?
Seeing his attitude gave Scarlett a headache, and fearing the commotion might draw attention, she had to motion to Dashiell,
“Turn back into human form before speaking.”
Though he spoke confidently, Dashiell internally knew he had been a bit reckless earlier.
He obediently turned back into human form and looked up, unable to sense even a hint of the earlier presence.
The young boy imdiately wore a disappointed face.
Sigh, his opportunity slipped away~
Scarlett gave him a few more words of education but didn’t take the dragon matter too seriously, after all, as Dashiell ntioned before.
The Heavenly Dao doesn’t allow a True Dragon to appear in the Mortal Realm anymore.
Dragons, how could they appear with the re release of so fireworks?
Due to Dashiell’s incident, Scarlett and Samuel couldn’t continue their previous topic, seeing it was getting late, they returned to the banquet with Dashiell.
The guests were still discussing the earlier fireworks show, and they didn’t inquire much about Scarlett and Samuel’s return.
Soon, the banquet dispersed.
Scarlett saw off all the guests and then followed Donovan Jennings and other Jennings Family mbers ho.
Just before getting into the car, she recalled Samuel’s unfinished statent and couldn’t help but ask him,
“What were you trying to say earlier up there?”
If that person, what?
Samuel’s dark eyes locked onto her, and after a long pause, he replied, “Nothing.”
He was unwilling to say more, and Scarlett felt it inappropriate to press further.
After all, she wasn’t sure what she actually wanted to hear from Samuel.
Parting ways with Samuel, Scarlett turned and got into the Jennings’ car.
Though the banquet had ended, the Jennings’ affairs were still unfinished…
