Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Truly fearsome enemies.

The Green Dragon… The Dendro Dragon Sovereign… was utterly speechless.

The dragon couldn't fathom how this hard-headed Dragon colleague of them actually transformed into that appearance.

After all, this guy always refuses to go out of his… or her den! And if she does come out, the dragon chooses to transform into a grumpy old man.

Nevertheless, the Dendro Dragon Sovereign didn't dwell on it, as she also transformed into her glorious humanoid form.

Clad in serene yet lively aura as she comes out in her full glory. Her long crystalline hair with a tip of jade green tint, shimmered across the void. Her long silky hair dancing, as if happily praising their master on the further note.

With a face as smooth and soft like a marshmallow, emerald coloured eyes… radiating a serene and calm way, ancient as it seems… as if she had already seen the birth and fall of civilization.

Not to mention the mention her beautiful white dress, branded with occasional green coloured motif. Perfectly hugging her perfect body that has been carved bu the heavens themselves…

To make it short, she looks like an elven fairy princess that has given the world a chance to gaze upon her beauty.

Even the toughest rocks shatter upon the existence of a fragile flower.

Zhongli knew it himself, that's why, as to not look like a toad wanting to eat swan's meat… not that he is lowly of course, thus he just silently gazed at the maiden before closing his eyes and covered his head with his hood while clasping his hands on his back, gazing at the stars above, like a mysterious and elegant master.

Though surprisingly, even with his hood, his tied silky brown hair with subtle gold streaks still showing, which added more mystery and elegance to his appearance.

Though prior to his elegant and mysterious looks on the outer side, what about his inner self?

'Two beauties surrounding me, I might be eating more than I can eat!'

Yeah, he was totally flustered right now, if not for the elegant and mysterious appearance of Zhongli, what would his face be?

But, what can he say?

A man knows when to advance and when to retreat. My doing this rule, only he can became a true man worthy of such.

As such, he has to tread carefully as to not accidentally step into an unforseen thorn.

He doesn't want to provoke even one of this dragons, not at least now.

Though, can you blame him?

He doesn't even know a single thing about this current body of his. Not a single cheat nor external hand to help him, he also doesn't have the memories of the previous guy!!

So yeah, gotta tread carefully, or else, he might get beaten up right here and now.

"Hmph! Old rock, that appearance doesn't suit you! Thousand seas and thousand rivers, even if you cross the farthest seas, climb the tallest mountain, you wil never suite in here!"

As the Geo Dragon Sovereign were preparing to walk towards the direction of a beautiful palace, she suddenly stopped.

She stood still, feet planted on the grounds of the moon.

"Yes, you heard that right. Old rock, you are…"

The Dendro Dragon Sovereign hurled several insults at the seemingly calm and undeterred Geo Dragon Sovereign, standing calmly like a tall mountain, undeterred by the gushing wind.

But remember…

A mountain may remain undisturbed, but once angered, its thunder strikes with an unstoppable force.

And with that, with a blurry of motion, the undisturbed mountain finally shook. Showing its might with a force enough to shake the earth.

*BANGGG!!*

The black haired woman directly punched the elven like humanoid dragon in the face.

You want to talk to me? Fine, I'll talk to you! No questions ask, let's talk with our fists!

"You little-"

After that, the two women beat up each other right there and now.

Zhongli on the other hand, shivered slightly, even though the punches were not directed at him, he can feel it… he will get smashed into oblivion if it did hit him.

But suddenly, he remembered that, Neuvillette, is the Hydro Dragon Sovereign in the latent era, so why…

Still, he shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it even further, as thinking too much would just make his head ache.

As the two dragons were fighting, another bunch arrived.

Intense elemental aura can be seen on there body.

Zhongli, who sensed them, looked at the newcomers and instantly knew who they are.

They are the other Dragon Sovereigns, ruling the planet.

Fiery and intense energy can be felt from one of them. He is the Pyro Dragon Archon. He looks like a hybrid of Phoenix and Dragon.

The Cryo Dragon Sovereign, on the other hand, emits freezing cold energy, blurring the exact appearance of it, though, Zhongli is pretty sure that this is also a serpent type.

The Hydro and Electro Dragon Sovereign are also pretty much the same type, only leaving the Anemo Dragon Sovereign to not be a Serpent type, instead, he has a Quadrupedal body, much like how a western dragon looks like.

Once they stepped on the moon, the looked around to see the two fighting woman.

"Hmm? Isn't that…"

"Hahahaha! The two are at it again! They really have a bad blood with each other huh?"

"Hmm."

"And ohh?"

The Pyro Dragon Sovereign looked around to see Zhongli, who is nonchalantly gazing at the sea of stars.

"A Deity huh… Interesting. Perhaps…"

He again turned to look at the man and understood what's going on.

"Hey! Young Man. You are with the Geo Dragon right?"

Zhongli was startled with the sudden question. But nevertheless, he nodded thoughtfully.

"Hahaha! I know it! So when is it?"

The dragon laughed and suddenly questioned the Deity.

Of course, this baffled Zhongli. He doesn't know what the dragon were saying.

"…"

Sensing his confusion, the Pyro Dragon spoke again.

"What? Aren't you gonna marry the Geo Dragon?"

"Ehh?"

Zhongli finally understood what the guy were saying, the dragon guy totally misunderstood his relationship with his master!

"Wait, ahem! You misunderstood something. My relationship with her is just a pure Master and Disciple relationship, nothing more."

"…"

It was the Pyro Dragon's turn to become speechless. He felt so embarrassed because he totally misunderstood the relationship between his colleague and this young man! And to top it all up…

"…" 5x

The probing stares of his other colleagues and the questioning look of the young man made him more embarrassed.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Scratch that. We should prepare ourselves to meet the Dragon King."

To dodge the embarrassment he felt, he decisively changed the topic, to which the other Dragons nodded.

They soon enveloped themselves in their own energy as they change their form while Zhongli watch them with an intrigued look on his face.

The Electro Dragon transformed into a purple haired young man, wearing matching purple kimono, looking as sharp as a lone samurai.

The Pyro Dragon looks like a fierce looking man, with his tail still sprouting from his backside.

While the two other Dragons, the Anemo and Hydro dragon, looks like your normal westerner celebrities.

Meanwhile, the Cryo Dragon Sovereign is different.

The dragon transformed into a beautiful maiden.

Her figure is slender and graceful as if it had been carved from the purest ice. Her long hair of pale silver color cascades down on her back, shimmering faintly with a cold glow like the starlight reflecting on frozen ice.

Her eyes are a clear glacial blue, calm, distant and immeasurably deep. Her skin is like a porcelain… Flawless and full of majesty, untouched by any mortal imperfections. She dresses herself in flowing robes of white and icy blue color, with patterns on the edges which naturally resembles frost-laced runes.

That's what Zhongli's perception in his mind.

His mind is full of nothing but the poetic description for the glacial woman that had just transformed.

Beautiful, truly beautiful.

His mind didn't even register the other Dragons. To him, they are just some random dudes you can find anywhere.

The truly fearsome enemy was this icy cold woman!!

Zhongli glanced at a certain part of the woman's body.

Truly fearsome, he thought.

'Remember Zhongli, you are the Lord of Rocks. You must stay strong! You cannot be a fragile rock that will crumble with just the appearance of a lone flower!!'

Zhongli repeatedly said in his mind like a mantra to free himself from the worldly desires.

He is a Deity! A Deity with the power to control the earth. He cannot crumble in this way!

After a while, he successfully cleared his mind of all the temptations.

In fact, his eyes are even glowing as if he had just gained enlightenment!!

"Oi. Are you okay?"

The Pyro Dragon Sovereign spoke while lightly tapping the guy's shoulder, yet, he didn't react.

Instead, the guy's face looks so serene while gazing at who knows where.

Yep, it seems like the guy really gained enlightenment.
