CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 352: A LOVING FATHER, FILIAL SON, AND DUTIFUL DAUGHTER

"What is this? Why has it turned black?"

"Your Majesty looks so terrifying!"

"Princess Lu Tixiya, do we need to do anything?"

As the gaps between the Golden Mountain Range scales suddenly refracted a dense black light, and the terrifying black light increasingly threatened to drag the entire Dragon Palace into darkness, the Dragon Elves panicked, seeking out the Fairy Queen candidate with a calm demeanor.

"There’s no need to do anything. This is just a normal phenomenon that occurs when Your Majesty is asleep, so there’s no need to panic. Just avoid touching those lights."

Lu Tixiya, the oldest fairy in the current Dragon Palace, was very composed when dealing with such a sudden situation.

Back when she was young, she and her two sisters had witnessed similar scenes many times. At that time, Your Highness would let out extremely painful roars, which were even more terrifying.

Now, although the scale and intensity of the black light are more terrifying, Noah seems to have adapted and can maintain a deep sleep without any special anomalies being revealed.

Therefore, Lu Tixiya was particularly calm. This confidence originated not from anything else, but from the long years she spent with Noah, and she was filled with confidence in him. She believed that regardless of what trials or difficulties Noah was experiencing, he would definitely get through them.

However, this confidence began to waver as the black light surrounding Noah grew denser and lingered for a long time.

Because the original golden hue of Noah’s scales dwindled in the black light, and the originally majestic and noble Golden Dragon had transformed into a Black Dragon whose scales were as dark as ink, exuding an aura of extinction and despair.

"Princess Lu Tixiya, is it normal for Your Majesty to be like this?"

Seeing Noah change into such a shape, the fairies guarding Noah couldn’t help but ask. Now, Noah had the confidence to sleep openly in the main hall instead of hiding, lying directly on the Dragon Couch.

Therefore, the fairies who served him daily could see the changes in the Holy Dragon’s sleeping posture, causing considerable concern for the Dragon Palace Chief today.

Because he needed to appease the fairies’ agitated minds and explain to them that the transformation of Noah was normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

"What are you chattering about? With such poor behavior, you still want to join the Dragon Guards? Don’t you recognize Your Majesty’s Flame Brilliance posture?"

When Lu Tixiya, the Dragon Palace Chief, glanced over, the originally noisy Dragon Elves fell silent. On reflection, it did seem true; Noah wasn’t unfamiliar with the destructive Black Dragon form.

"But Your Majesty’s Flame Brilliance form seems somewhat different from now."

A Dragon Elf timidly voiced.

"What’s different? Have you observed Your Majesty’s dragon scales up close?"

This comment silenced any further fairy’s doubts because it would challenge Lu Tixiya’s authority as the Dragon Palace Chief.

However, even though Lu Tixiya could suppress a group of Little Fairies with her authority and compete with Sifreya for the rank of Fairy Queen, she couldn’t eliminate their inner anxiety and doubts.

Especially as Noah’s black light remained persistent and intensified, by the third year of Noah’s slumber, it had engulfed the body of the Ancestral Golden Dragon, transforming into a giant black glowing cocoon lying diagonally within the Dragon Palace. Such unease reached its zenith.

"What’s there to worry about? When I sleep and transform, I also become an Ice Cocoon. Why are you panicking? Isn’t this a normal transformation process?"

Ice Princess Scadilo stepped into the Dragon Palace after being informed by Dragon Palace Chief Lu Tixiya and, upon entering the court, summoned the anxious fairies and scolded them.

"You group of fairies with impure Dragon Blood dare question my father’s transformation? Didn’t you also evolve through cocoons thanks to my father’s blessing?"

Her reasoning was sound, and coupled with her identity as a Holy Dragon Descendant, it quelled many elves’ unease and anxiety. But unless Noah fully awakens, that fear and unease will always exist; however, no fairy dared express these emotions in the presence of the Dragon Palace Chief or the Ice Princess, these two noble figures.

"Father!"

Driving away all the fairies, leaving only Chief Lu Tixiya beside her, Ice Princess Scadilo turned to the giant black cocoon lying diagonally on the golden treasure couch, her eyes revealing a worried expression.

She hadn’t lied earlier. It wasn’t strange for Dragon Species to cocoon during transformation, yet the cocoon her father formed was exceedingly abnormal.

"What exactly is this? Do you know?"

Scadilo’s gaze sought answers from the fairy who had served her father for over two hundred years, as she couldn’t find similar circumstances even in her bloodline heritage memories. She had never heard of such an anomaly during Dragon Species transformation.

"Yes, similar situations have occurred in previous transformations of Your Majesty. Each time, Your Majesty appeared extraordinarily pained. But this time, Your Majesty is very quiet, with no anomalies."

Lu Tixiya’s expression showed apprehension because she knew that when a living being cries out in pain, their condition isn’t too severe. However, suffering silently after being severely injured is truly deadly.
