"The Dragon Race... a race of legends." Xu Zilan also looked away.
"The Dragon Race?"
"Yes. Just like Werewolves, the Blood Race, Vampires, and Snow Demons... If all those races exist, then of course the Dragon Race exists too." Xu Zilan nodded gently.
"But... the Dragon Race isn't among the Hundred Races, is it?" Gao Neng knew perfectly well that the Dragon Race wasn't part of the Allied Army of the other races.
"Just because they aren't among the Hundred Races doesn't mean they don't exist!" Xu Zilan's tone suddenly grew stern, her breathing even becoming a little ragged.
"Mom... are you a dragon?" Gao Neng hesitated for a moment before finally asking.
"No, I'm not. The Dragon Race is the Dragon Race... I'm human, just like you. Understand? Don't ever ask me that question again." Xu Zilan's brows knitted slightly.
"Okay, I understand..."
"You want to know why I can transform into a dragon, don't you?"
"Yes!"
