In the East Sea, there is a very special area of water known as the "Sea within the Sea". It is a "sea" on a piece of land within the larger sea. Compared to the deep blue of the ocean, this inner sea is shallower and displays a clean, translucent jade color, like a light green gem in the sea.

Around the Sea within the Sea grow many red cedar trees, also called Dragon's Blood Cedars. As the name suggests, they are plants that grew by chance in dragon's blood. The fact that a large grove of thick Dragon's Blood Cedars grows out of the sea here shows how much dragon's blood once irrigated this place. For this reason, the Sea within the Sea has a special ability to help injured dragons heal their wounds faster.

The Demon Dragon, with blood-red eyes, carried the unconscious little white dragon on his nose all the way to the Sea within the Sea. He swam through the tall Dragon's Blood Cedars rising from the sea and placed the little white dragon hanging from his nose into the light jade-colored seawater.

The white dragon in the jade-green shallow sea looked both beautiful and delicious.

The Demon Dragon raised his head and lay beside the white dragon, watching. As he watched, dragon drool involuntarily flowed from his mouth. His eyes slowly changed from red to black, and his sharp teeth were exposed.

"Eat... white dragon..." The Demon Dragon's eyes turned completely black. He opened his big mouth and bit down towards the white dragon. But halfway through, a few traces of red seeped out from those black eyes, causing him to abruptly close his mouth in mid-air, biting only air.

Gazing longingly at the white dragon, the Demon Dragon suddenly turned his head and plunged into the sea, disappearing from sight. He couldn't fully control himself at the moment, constantly struggling with the consciousness that had not yet vanished.

Worried that he would be unable to restrain himself from harming Bai Ling, he chose to temporarily retreat.

In her dazed state, Bai Ling felt a gentle force enveloping her, the water around her body warm and soft, soothing her injuries. She felt like she was sleeping under the spring sun, so comfortable that she didn't want to open her eyes.

But after some unknown time had passed, she felt the sun being blocked, with some dangerous aura lingering over her head, and something dripping down beside her, greatly disturbing her sweet dreams. Bai Ling angrily opened her eyes and met the Demon Dragon's pair of jet-black eyes and his wide-open mouth.

Waking up to find your mortal enemy drooling over your body?

"Holy shit, you scared me to death!" Bai Ling's body reacted faster than her mind. She sprang up and struck the Demon Dragon's chin, delivering an uppercut. A white rod shot straight up and hit the Demon Dragon's chin, knocking the unsuspecting Demon Dragon over, causing him to fall back into the sea, instantly splashing up waves and surging billows.

Bai Ling didn't know where she was or what was going on with the Demon Dragon. She stared at the Demon Dragon's exposed belly after he fell, thinking of Lu Linsheng who had been eaten by him.

— If the Demon Dragon's belly was cut open now, would Lu Linsheng still be there? After so long, he should have been digested, right?

Old Seashell weakly spoke in her mind, "Little master... run away quickly..."

Previously, Bai Ling had been tortured by that bastard Supreme God Xuan Cang to the point of being as miserable as a revolutionary martyr captured by the imperial army. Old Seashell had plucked up the courage to resist for her sake, only to be easily defeated by Supreme God Xuan Cang. He could only curl up in his shell and nurse his wounds together with his little master Bai Ling.

He had also just woken up not long ago. Seeing his little master directly confronting the Demon Dragon nearly shattered his shell from fright, and he urged Bai Ling to escape immediately.

Bai Ling wasn't stupid either. She knew she was no match for the other party. That wild idea had only flashed through her mind for a moment. Unfortunately, although she intended to flee, she was hopelessly outmatched. The Demon Dragon's sturdy body and big head quickly poked back, staring at her like a tiger eyeing its prey. Bai Ling had nowhere to run at all.

Losing the battle but not her spirit, Bai Ling glared fiercely at the Demon Dragon in front of her, feeling that she must enjoy herself to the fullest before being eaten. No matter what, she would hit his head a few times first. Even if it couldn't kill him, she had to beat him silly!

Bai Ling was itching for action, her tail swaying back and forth behind her. The Demon Dragon shook his head, let out a loud roar, and bit towards her. With nowhere to retreat, Bai Ling bravely pounced forward and pounded on the Demon Dragon's skull.

It wasn't a powerful attack. At least this time the prepared Demon Dragon wasn't knocked over by her, but after being hit, the Demon Dragon abruptly stopped, tilting his head and staring blankly in mid-air.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ling ruthlessly punched a few more times. As a result, she saw the Demon Dragon close his eyes and timidly bury his head in the sea, showing no intention of retaliating.

Bai Ling: "..." What the hell, at first he wanted to eat the dragon, now why isn't he fierce anymore?

"What's suddenly wrong with this Demon Dragon?"

Even Old Seashell, who had been frightened to the point of his little heart pounding, was puzzled, staring in astonishment at the Demon Dragon who hadn't moved for a long time.

Bai Ling didn't transform into human form, but maintained her white dragon appearance, walking on all fours and even having the audacity to try climbing onto the Demon Dragon's back, planning to go to the front and continue pounding his head.

Noticing the little white dragon stepping on his body, the Demon Dragon finally raised his calmed head and said to her, "I am... Lu Linsheng..."

The aggressively charging little white dragon suddenly paused, slipping and falling off the Demon Dragon's body. But she quickly climbed back up, her claws running crookedly on the Demon Dragon's body, coming to the front of the Demon Dragon's head.

"What did you say?" Bai Ling couldn't believe it.

At this moment, Lu Linsheng in the Demon Dragon's appearance moved his big head back a little and said, "I am Lu Linsheng now, but the Demon Dragon is still here. Sometimes I can't control myself... If next time the Demon Dragon wants to eat you, you should pound my head like you just did."

Bai Ling didn't know what to say. She stared blankly at the red eyes of the black giant dragon, suddenly shouted and rushed over, crashing into the side of the black dragon's head. Her claws tightly grasped the black dragon's whiskers as she wailed, "Lu Linsheng! Lu Linsheng!"

"You're not completely dead! That's great! You're not completely dead! Waaah!" She cried and rammed her little dragon head against the black dragon's big mouth. After ramming for a while, she looked up and her crying choked.

"... Why are you drooling at me again? Control your big mouth."

Lu Linsheng, drooling, rested his head on the water's surface, struggling with his instincts. He looked at her weakly and helplessly. "The Demon Dragon eats dragon clan members. He wants to eat you, but I don't."

Bai Ling recalled what he had just said, "You mean, the Demon Dragon is also in this body, and you can't always control the body?"

Lu Linsheng: "Yes, when I become a bit more powerful, I can completely devour him, but not yet. But don't be afraid, if the Demon Dragon wants to harm you, just hit him hard and I will wake up."

Bai Ling: "..." It's like an old TV at grandma's house before, if it breaks, just tap it a couple of times and it will work again.

With half her body hanging on the black dragon's neck, the dragon's mouth gently bumped against his mouth, "I won't be eaten by him. You need to recover quickly, I still want to hear you play the zither." She paused, her tone a bit low, "But I left your phoenix zither on Mount Youfu, I'll go to the phoenix clan next time to buy you one."

The black dragon was overjoyed at being bumped by the tiny white dragon. Although he didn't know what overjoyed meant, he happily and contentedly coiled his body, encircling the little white dragon.

"I will definitely recover quickly." He felt so inflated that he thought he could swallow another Demon Dragon right away.

Bai Ling just coiled into a small circle on his body, resting her head next to his mouth. She was in a particularly good mood now, even the wounds on her body didn't hurt.

"Little master, ask him if he can take you down into the sea." Old Seashell asked expectantly, obviously also in a good mood.

"What? Are there treasures in the sea?" Bai Ling asked.

Old Seashell was silent for a moment and said, "Below is the undersea palace built by the White Dragon Clan back then. You haven't seen the place where the clansmen lived before."

Bai Ling understood how much emotion and heartache were in that moment of silence from Old Seashell, but she didn't have a strong feeling. After all, emotions are something that develop after being together. She couldn't feel as deeply sad as Old Seashell for the White Dragon Clan members she had never met, it was like hearing a sad story, with favorability only at the level of a passerby.

"There's a dragon palace, is there anything inside that can heal your wounds?" This was what Bai Ling cared about. She was afraid the old man's injuries were too severe, unlike her who had thick skin and strong flesh, he might accidentally die.

Old Seashell was very moved, round white pearls falling down with a pitter-patter, "Little master, at a time like this you're still thinking of me, even if I die I'll die content!"

Having gotten an affirmative answer, Bai Ling didn't allow him to cry anymore. She scratched the scales on the black dragon's back and said to him, "I want to go see the dragon palace below, do you want to go with me?"

Lu Linsheng said, "Go. Your wounds haven't healed yet, I'll carry you there on my back."

A little white dragon thus rode on a big black dragon, swimming into the dark depths of the sea. In the eyes of the dragon clan, the seabed was not dim.

On the contrary, there were many bright spots of light in the sea, like snowflakes, and there were exquisite palaces that only the dragon clan could see. The palaces built with various corals, shells, pearls and undersea gems emitted a bright glow at the bottom of the sea, creating an effect that was in no way inferior to the daylight of the outside world.

Such a bright and luxurious palace stood quietly at the bottom of the sea. The dragon clan members who had lived in it were nowhere to be seen, leaving only such an empty dragon palace.

Bai Ling found that this place was much simpler than the 'dragon palaces' she had seen in film and television works before. There were no carved beams and painted rafters of houses in the human world, only a luxurious style full of wealth and brilliance. The huge golden dragon statue coiled at the palace gate was the most striking symbol of this style.

Only when she landed and took a closer look did she find that there was seaweed growing on the roof, and large clusters of blood jade coral had grown at the palace gate, almost blocking the way to the palace door.

Bai Ling transformed back into human form and could easily pass through the gaps in the coral. The black dragon also transformed into human form. Bai Ling turned her head to look and was stunned, "Why did you change into this appearance?"

Lu Linsheng's current appearance was outstanding, even better looking than Supreme God Xuan Cang. Although Supreme God Xuan Cang was a scoundrel, Bai Ling had to admit that his looks were at the pinnacle of attractiveness, and now Lu Linsheng had surpassed even him.

"Although you look very good now, I'm not used to it." Bai Ling said, "Just being handsome is enough, if you're too handsome I can't handle it." Now when she looked at Lu Linsheng, she always felt like she was looking at another person.

Lu Linsheng: "I can't change back. When I can fully control this body, I will be able to return to my original form."

Bai Ling missed his scholarly appearance, and even his black wool thread appearance.

They passed through the red coral forest and entered the interior of the building. Under the guidance of Old Seashell, Bai Ling visited the palace of the old clan leader and queen of the White Dragon Clan, the king's hall, the palace where she had stayed as an egg, and the treasure vault in turn.

"These are all left by the clan leader for you, little master. Only you, little master, who possesses the last bloodline of the White Dragon Clan, can enter here." Old Seashell said with relief.

Originally, with the threat of the Demon Dragon looming, he was also afraid to let the little master return to this old place, so he didn't say a word about it, only thinking of slowly telling her after the little master grew up. But now that the Demon Dragon had become like this, the heaviest burden in his heart had been lifted.

Bai Ling got a few medicinal items for Old Seashell to nourish his body, and curiously wandered around the treasure vault. In the corner of a large shelf, she found a gold pearl the size of a head. She remembered that Lu Linsheng especially liked such golden pearls, and this pearl was so big, she would give it to him.

"Lu Linsheng, look at this pearl, I'm giving it to you."

Old Seashell: "...Little master, this is not a pearl, this is a Dream Remembrance Pearl."

Bai Ling: "What, is this pearl harmful to people?"

Old Seashell: "That's not the case..." But sleeping on it would allow one to see the deepest memories in their heart.

Bai Ling: "If there's no harm then just treat it as a pearl."

She still gave it to Lu Linsheng.

Author has something to say:

Come, shine the light over here, give this Dream Remembrance Pearl a close-up.
