Chapter 136: You Woke Up

“Phew, finally made it home. Ah…”

“What’s wrong? Making such a sound all of a sudden.”

The Ice Dragon King and Ailin returned to the Dragon Clan Palace on the mountain. Seeing the ice cavern before them, Ailin let out an ambiguous sound.

“It’s nothing, just that staying in the human kingdom for a bit too long makes me feel a bit down coming back here and looking at this ice cavern. Father King, can’t we renovate this place a bit? You saw how exquisitely decorated the human palaces are, right?”

“True, I noticed, but I don’t think those things are necessary for our Dragon Clan.”

Come on, what are humans and what are dragons? For a dragon, all you need is a spacious area, and this ice cavern is a perfectly suitable place. Why chase after those so-called fine decorations of humans?

But Ailin clearly disagreed.

“Eh? Father King, how can you say that? Our Dragon Clan shouldn’t stay stagnant; we need to pursue change with the times!”

“Seriously, not all changes with time are good things. Besides, why do we have to chase after human changes? Can’t we carve out our own path and pursue our own transformations?”

“Oh, Father King…”

Seeing she couldn’t convince her father, Ailin had no choice but to bring out her trump card: the **cute act**.

“I really can’t deal with you. If you want to renovate so much, why don’t you just decorate your own room?”

The Ice Dragon King found himself helpless against his daughter. Since she was taking this route, why not just indulge her?

“Can I really do that?”

“Of course, but only in your own room, okay? Don’t disturb the other members of the Dragon Clan. Did you hear me?”

“Okay, I heard you. Thank you, Father King, for allowing it. Now, Father, how do we get into the Sacred Domain of our Ice Dragon Clan?”

Ailin hadn’t forgotten that her main purpose for coming back was to discuss that so-called Sacred Domain of the Ice Dragons. If she could just get a look inside, maybe she could find a way to strengthen herself. If she succeeded, then Aierjisi and Weirafiya could also return to their places of birth to pursue their class upgrades according to their missions in the game.

“Don’t rush. You just got back; aren’t you going to rest properly before rushing to the Sacred Domain? It’s a very sacred place. Rest well now, and I’ll naturally take you there when the time comes.”

The Ice Dragon King was calmly telling his daughter to rest up. After all, she had just come out from the enemy’s base camp yesterday, and she surely hadn’t rested well.

“But…”

“There’s no but! You’re my daughter; would I lie to you?”

Ailin initially wanted to say more, but the Ice Dragon King shut her down.

Well, no choice then, better follow Dad’s advice and rest properly for now.

“Then I’ll head back to my room to rest. By the way, I’ve been gone for so long; my room should have been cleaned, right?”

“Of course, I send dragons to clean it every day.”

“That’s good, then I’ll go rest now.”

Ailin returned to her room, looking at her familiar belongings and found herself at a loss for words.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have just rested well at Gaia’s place before coming back.

After all, resting at Gaia’s was far more interesting than her own room. But now that she was back, going down the mountain again wasn’t realistic, so she might as well sleep well here. Dragons are known for their sleeping abilities; some are said to sleep for 100 or even 200 years. Ailin found a comfortable spot and dozed off.

“The Sacred Domain of the Ice Dragons… sigh, why does this child suddenly want to go there? If she goes… no, perhaps it is indeed time for her to go now. I can’t spoil her too much.”

The Ice Dragon King looked at the wall behind his throne, where the names of all past Ice Dragon Kings were engraved, including his own.

And behind this wall was the entrance to the so-called Sacred Domain of the Ice Dragons. Only the Ice Dragon King had the right to enter, yet Ailin was thinking about going in.

Once inside, there would be no turning back. Entering the Sacred Domain meant facing challenges within. Depending on the Ice Dragon King’s capabilities, the trials inside would differ.

If she successfully passed the trials, that would be great; the Ice Dragon King would gain the powerful strength bestowed by the Sacred Domain.

But if she failed, the Ice Dragon King could be sealed within the Sacred Domain, possibly never to return.

That’s why the Ice Dragon King wanted Ailin to rest first. To face the trials, she must be in complete form. If she entered the Sacred Domain in her just-returned state, she would definitely be sealed inside.

…

As the sun set, Yake finally awoke from his coma. Aierjisi, who had been beside him, excitedly grabbed his hands when she saw he was awake.

“Yake, you’re awake? How are your eyes feeling now? Still hurt? Do you want me to use healing magic on you again?”

Looking at Aierjisi’s worried face, Yake found himself speechless for a while.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking? Did you lose your memory? Or did my father’s punch mess up your brains? If that’s the case, I’m going to settle the score with him right now!”

Aierjisi stood up, ready to leave the room to find her father. To have turned her subordinate into this state, she was going to give him a piece of her mind.

“No… I just spaced out for a moment; it seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen you so worried about me.”

Finally, Yake spoke his true feelings.

“Of course! You were hit in the eye by my father’s fist! How could I possibly not worry about you? Wait, when have I not worried about you? With someone like you, I have to worry about you every single moment!”

As Aierjisi spoke, she returned to the bed and gently pried open Yake’s eyes to check if everything was alright.

“It looks like your eyes are recovering well; they’re almost back to normal. How do you feel?”

“Pretty good; I can’t feel the pain anymore. By the way, what time is it? Is it almost evening?”

“Yeah, it’s almost evening. I almost thought you were going to be a vegetable, sleeping all day since morning until now.”
