Chapter 383: Chapter 383

The old Golden Dragon’s eyes trembled. "You, you are... Quick, quick, foolish boy, transform into your dragon form!"

The members of the Golden Dragon Clan immediately transformed into golden dragons. They were somewhat excited, trying their best to contain themselves as they said respectfully to Si Yan, "Priest, please come aboard. I will take you there."

Si Yan and the others mounted the golden dragon, which soared into the sky with a burst of strength, flying majestically straight to the refuge.

It wasn’t long before Si Yan and her group arrived at the Golden Dragon Clan’s refuge.

Si Yan looked up. The refuge of the Golden Dragon Clan was actually beside a huge, ancient tree that reached into the heavens.

Once they descended from the golden dragon’s back, Si Yan couldn’t help but take several more glances at the giant tree.

It felt somewhat familiar to her. She must have seen it somewhere before.

The trees in the Beast World were generally already very large. Yet, this tree’s trunk was as wide as a basketball court.

Not to mention its height; it soared high enough to touch the clouds—a true ancient tree of the heavens!

The male Golden Dragon said excitedly, "Miss, our refuge is beneath the Divine Tree."

Beneath the towering ancient tree, a large area was enveloped by the tree’s roots; this was the refuge of the Golden Dragon Clan.

The ancient tree of the heavens, with its sufficiently solid roots, provided complete protection for everyone.

"Yi Zhen, you’re back!"

The simple members of the Golden Dragon Tribe walked out from their burrows and embraced the returning members of their clan.

"These people are...?"

Yi Zhen said excitedly, "Uncle Cai, they are our benefactors! They saved Xiao Gang and Xiao You."

"Grandpa Cai," the two little ones ran over.

The old Golden Dragon acknowledged them with a gentle "Hmm?"

"It was the pretty sister who saved us," they chirped.

He smiled affectionately. "Alright, Grandpa knows."

Yi Zhen bent down and explained a few things to the members of the Golden Dragon Clan.

The Golden Dragon Clan members looked at Si Yan with even greater solemnity and excitement in their eyes.

A few venerable elders of the Golden Dragon Clan stepped out into the hurricane, their gazes fixed intently on Si Yan. Before long, their eyes grew moist.

Si Yan was somewhat at a loss.

Old Cai grasped Si Yan’s hand, his own trembling with emotion. "Child, are you... Priest Si Yan?"

Si Yan nodded. "I am."

When the members of the Golden Dragon Clan received confirmation, they became even more excited.

Old Cai said cheerfully, "It’s good that you’ve come back. It’s truly good that you’ve returned."

"It’s the Dragon Princess!"

"It really is the Dragon Princess!"

"The real Dragon Princess is much more beautiful than the fake one."

"Yes, and not only is she beautiful, but the Dragon Princess also has a very kind heart. She braved the hurricane to save the lives of the two little treasures."

Hearing the commotion, more and more members of the Golden Dragon Tribe came out. They looked at Si Yan with special fondness.

Si Yan felt even more at a loss.

Old Cai said, "Child, you’ve truly endured much these years. It’s windy outside; come in quickly."

Indeed, an ancient tribe always has its own heritage and depth.

Such a huge ancient tree was beyond Si Yan’s expectations.

She walked into the large hollow beneath the tree and touched its massive roots.

The roots of the Divine Tree were thick and strong.

A profound vitality flowed through the tree’s roots. This life force was so potent it even startled Si Yan.

Truly worthy of being called the Divine Tree.

She released her hand and walked deeper into the tree hollow. After she moved away, the spot she had touched gleamed with flecks of green light.

These green flecks of light danced playfully, as if overjoyed to see a loved one.

Upon entering the tree hollow, Si Yan saw a space as large as a basketball court, occupied by over two hundred members of the Golden Dragon Clan, some sitting, others standing.

Old Cai spoke to Si Yan with affection, "The young ones have gone out to continue rescuing our kin. In fact, our Golden Dragon Tribe has over five hundred beasts. Good child, sit here."

Old Cai offered Si Yan a chair in the center of the tree hollow. As soon as she sat down, the Golden Dragon Beastmen in the hollow curiously surrounded her, all staring with wide eyes full of intense curiosity.

Even though she was accustomed to pressure and had thick skin, she began to feel somewhat uneasy.

Old Cai glanced at She Wang and smiled at Si Yan. "Is that your Beast Husband, the Lord?"

Si Yan nodded. "Mm. Wang has a very good temperament; he’s kind and gentle. Don’t bully him."

Fearing that the Dragon Clan would not take kindly to a snake Beastman, Si Yan spoke up for She Wang in advance.

The members of the Golden Dragon Clan paused in unison.

Were those the adjectives to describe She Wang, who could extinguish a warrior from another tribe with a single swipe of his claw?

Ming Ji’s mouth twitched severely.

His sister was indeed blind.

Unaffected by everyone’s stares, Wang simply lowered his head to look at her. In his eyes, whatever Si Yan said was right.

Si Yan asked, "Haven’t Jin Tong and the others returned?"

Old Cai replied, "They don’t know you’ve returned yet. The priests are currently informing the young masters."

Si Yan looked over and saw that the priests of the Golden Dragon Clan had already begun using the clan’s unique communication methods. Official source ıs novęlfire.net

However, just as everyone was excited and the atmosphere was pleasant, a disdainful young man’s voice suddenly rang out, "The Dragon Princess, huh? How can you believe in some imposter who appeared out of nowhere?"

Si Yan looked up to see a Golden Dragon Beastman boy, about twelve years old, glaring at her with scorn and contempt.

"Changsheng, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to the Dragon Princess this instant!"

"Apologize? I won’t apologize! Some female pops up out of nowhere and becomes the Dragon Princess as soon as she arrives at the Golden Dragon Clan? Since when are things so easy!"

Old Cai looked embarrassed. "Don’t take offense. Changsheng isn’t bad by nature. He’s just a bit thoughtless."

Si Yan waved her hand, indicating it was fine, and so, she paid no further attention to Changsheng, who was off to the side.

Changsheng’s eyes held a fierce gleam as he stared at Si Yan. "Who knows if she’s here to scam us, seeing that the Golden Dragon Clan is full of gullible fools.

"Back then, everyone said that wicked female was the Dragon Princess, yet you didn’t have her verify her identity under the Divine Tree, allowing that earth dragon to deceive us for over twenty years!

"So, what now? Are you planning to continue to be muddled? Don’t you want to verify the identity of the Golden Dragon’s Dragon Princess? Don’t you want the Divine Tree’s recognition?!"

Si Yan was unaware of this and looked towards Old Cai.

Old Cai was getting angry. "Changsheng, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Yi Zhen, take him away."

Changsheng snorted, retreated a few steps to sit down, and continued to glare viciously at Si Yan.

"You’re an imposter, and I’ll definitely expose you!"

Ming Ji, who had a short temper, took large strides. His black robe billowed as he quickly stepped forward to confront the ill-tempered youth.

"Kid, I see you’ve got quite a lot to say. Don’t just talk big—tell me, how do you plan to expose our little female?"

Changsheng jumped to his feet, retorting disdainfully, "Every Dragon Princess of the Golden Dragon Clan has the ability to communicate with the Divine Tree. Does she dare to communicate with the Divine Tree? I bet she doesn’t!"
