Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1685

Chapter 1685 Sworn Brothers

A deafening silence filled the area for a good moment after Yuan spoke, with the Seven Dragon Monarchs staring at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.

"I like your enthusiasm, Yuan, but I don't want to injure you before the Dragon God Festival. After all, I don't want to hear any excuses when you lose to me," said Long Wu Qing.

Her words shocked the others more than Yuan's words.

'That crazy bitch is declining a fight?! I didn't know she was even capable of that!' Hellfire Dragon cried inwardly.

"But I can't bear to watch you beat my friend any longer." Yuan sighed.

Long Wu Qing glanced at Long Yejun for a brief moment before releasing him.

"Consider yourself lucky, little brother."

She approached Yuan and continued, "Don't think we won't fight. We'll do it the moment the Dragon God Festival is over."

"I am looking forward to it."

Long Wu Qing left the scene shortly after.

"I didn't want to show you such a pathetic sight, Brother Yuan." Long Yejun approached him a moment later.

Despite his resilient body, the wounds caused by Long Wu Qing didn't recover normally, as if there was something preventing him from healing.

The same could be said for the others, too.

"Don't say that." Yuan shook his head.

"I can't believe you came out of the Infinite Spiraling Abyss with her. My heart stopped for a second back there."

"She saved my life." "How unexpected…" Long Yejun mumbled.

"By the way, what happened to you inside the Infinite Spiraling Abyss? Why do you smell like a human now?"

"Oh…"

It was at this moment that Yuan realized he forgot to transform back to his dragon form. However, considering that his true identity has been revealed to Long Wu Qing, it would only be a matter of time before it was revealed to everyone else. "Actually, I am human." Yuan decided to reveal his true identity.

"What…?" Long Yejun's eyes widened with immense shock.

"I apologize for deceiving you until now, but I am not one of Dragon God's descendants."

"W-why would you…?"

"I have my reasons…" he sighed.

Long Yejun lowered his head and fell silent, seemingly in deep thoughts.

"I see… so you were human from the start…"

When Long Yejun lifted his head and showed his expression again, it was filled with excitement and admiration.

"I can't believe a human has conquered the Baneful Dragon's Poisonous Swamp, the Sky Splitting Dragon's Tribulation, and even survived the Infinite Spiraling Abyss! Hahaha!" He laughed so hard tears began forming in his eyes.

"Hey, although we're not real brothers, can I still call you Brother? I've grown accustomed to it, and it wouldn't feel right if I changed it now."

Yuan nodded, "Of course."

The realization that Yuan was a human began to set in for the others, their faces filled with shock, some with disdain.

"Master Yuan is a human…? That explains his godlike smithing techniques! The art of smithing was originally humans to begin with!" Refined Obsidian Dragon muttered to himself.
