Chapter 657: Chapter 0654: Going for a Drive (Third Update, Celebrating 10,000 Coins Reward)

This chapter is “Really Long, Truly Long,” an additional update as a reward.

Ros could dive to a depth of 1,500 meters. Liszt had previously tested his own diving limit to be 400 meters; any deeper was beyond his reach.

He still remembered the whales on Earth. Orcas had a diving limit of 260 meters, blue whales of 500 meters, sperm whales had a record of 2,035 meters, and the champion record was held by Cuvier’s beaked whale at 2,992 meters. It had nothing to do with strength but was a matter of body structure, after all, the ocean’s overlord, the orca, was limited to only 260 meters.

Similarly,

Ach was an elf of the sea; she had no problem diving into the deep seawater of 1,500 meters, and so could Ros. However, an ordinary great whale might dive two or three thousand meters deep but might not necessarily defeat Ros, who after all was a low-level Gemstone Dragon Seamonster.

At this moment, Ros was taking Liszt deeper and deeper. A bundle of rope used to determine water depth was continuously released, with its top floating on the surface. Keeping it vertical was how they measured their depth.

As the diving depth increased, so did the pressure his body felt.

The depth of 400 meters was comfortably reached.

He patted Ros’s dorsal fin, “We can still go further, Ros. Keep going down!”

Ros obediently followed the command and continued to dive deeper. The depth increased bit by bit, and just as they were about to reach 550 meters, he finally couldn’t hold his breath any longer and signaled to Ros to quickly stop. He needed to familiarize his body with this depth to determine his diving limit.

“550 meters, this is my new diving limit.”

After diving, taking a bath, and having dinner,

Liszt returned to the volcano crater, continuing to wait for the awakening of Little Fire Dragon Leo. Leo, in his sleep, was still having delightful dreams, which seemed rather monotonous: it was about robbing, and then transporting the wealth to its volcano crater lair. Shiny gemstones and gold coins were its favorites.

Night fell, and the moonlight was clear.

Liszt leaned against Leo’s thigh, and during a moment of boredom, it suddenly occurred to him that if he could experience Leo’s delightful dreams, then Leo, if willing, should also be able to experience his dreams. In fact, if Leo wanted, it could even sense whatever Liszt was up to at night.

“No, absolutely not!”

Everyone needs privacy.

Liszt valued personal privacy, especially at night, “I must block this open heart-to-heart connection at such times… just like how I usually block the emotions shared amongst the elves.” He had several dozen elves, and if each one of them opened up their perception, he would be overwhelmed by these emotions.

So, without much need for training, after some exploration, he could automatically block emotional connections.

Now, he was exploring how to block Leo’s heart-to-heart connection—it must not affect their Dragon Riding endeavors while ensuring his own privacy remained separate.

The task was difficult, but not impossible to achieve; it just needed time.

…

He spent the first half of the night figuring out how to block the connection, and the latter half, he slept soundly.

The next morning, Liszt woke up routinely before the sun even rose, and upon waking up, he immediately noticed that Little Fire Dragon Leo was twisting its head, looking at him.

Sometime, Leo had already awoken.

Upon seeing Liszt wake up, it immediately let out a cheerful cry, “Oh-ho!”

The heart-to-heart connection flooded Liszt’s mind with its emotions too—pure joy. Leo, after getting rid of its malicious thoughts, no longer resisted Liszt at all.

“Just a moment, Leo. Let me brush my teeth and wash my face first.”

“Oh-ho.”

After Liszt quickly freshened up, he immediately mounted the already waiting Leo, sitting his backside on the Dragon Tooth Platform, instantly feeling as if man and dragon merged into one again. Their Magic Power connected and circulated through their bodies, their spirits synched at a harmonious frequency, sharing breath and fate.

He took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said aloud, “Let’s go!”

“Oh!”

With a powerful kick against the cliff, Leo’s body instantly leaped into the air, and his wing-like flaps steadied his flight into the sky. United in spirit, moving with intention without a need for verbal communication, Leo understood what Liszt wanted, and Liszt understood Leo’s thoughts.

They were one.

The higher they flew, the higher they soared, surpassing the hundred meters where Sky Knights could reach. Looking down, they could see Ach, deep in thought by the seaside, shrinking to a mere speck.

A thought flashed through the mind, “Let’s go down and say hello to Ach.”

Leo was already coordinating a descent towards the base of the mountain, his flight speed incredibly fast yet the warmth radiating from him bore no hint of scalding heat. Even the Dragon Tooth Platform beneath Liszt’s seat, which sparkled with sparks like the scales on other parts of the dragon, caused no harm to Liszt.

The Fire Dragon had absolute control over its Fire Attribute magic power. Unless it chose to, it would never let the magic inadvertently materialize into real flames.

Whoosh!

Their wings brushed past the forest of Human Skull Fruits, and the man-dragon duo blinked into presence by the seaside.

They landed next to the rock where Ach was sitting, and this impressive entrance sparkled admiration, surprise, and excitement in the little sea monster’s beautiful eyes.

“Brother! Leo!”

“Oh!” The Little Fire Dragon greeted with a disdainful grunt.

Toward anyone other than Liszt, it still harbored a prideful and contemptuous attitude, for at its core it was nothing more than an Evil Dragon. If not for Liszt’s spiritual guidance, it wouldn’t have bothered to glance at Ach at all—it was at the pinnacle of power, not to be concerned with just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Liszt patted Leo’s head, coaxing him to lie down.

Then he flipped off his back, saying to Ach, “Come on, I’ll take you for a ride.”

Ach paused, “Ah, but Ach can’t leave her shell.”

“Then we’ll take the shell with us.”

With that, Liszt picked up Ach’s nearly three-meter-wide giant shell with ease; his current strength was immense, and with the Dragon Dou Qi activated, carrying a thousand catty weight was nothing to him.

“Oh!”

Leo opposed having the seashell placed on his back.

But objections were futile, so he could only turn his head skyward, looking resigned. Liszt used ropes to secure the seashell onto the scales on Leo’s back, whose length had grown to over twenty meters, making his back wide enough not only for seating people but also for transporting goods.

The Sapphire Dragon had previously served as a mode of transportation.

After securing the shell, Liszt quickly took his place on the Dragon Tooth Platform and gestured for Ach to sit in his embrace—Ach’s face flushed with a hint of shyness, but she happily settled into Liszt’s arms.

This intimate gesture had become familiar to her, even though she had learned much and became shy after reading various books. She continued to grow and was no longer the naive Little Sea Monster who knew nothing before, yet she still couldn’t resist Liszt’s affectionate actions.

A beautiful girl in his arms.

The touch took one’s breath away.

Liszt forcibly suppressed his racing heart and urged the slightly annoyed Leo to take off quickly towards the blue sky and white clouds, “Leo, ascend, I want to know how high you can fly!”

The wings flapped.

Answering him was Leo’s majestic roar, “Oh!”
