Chen Tianyang let out a self-deprecating laugh, leapt down from the enormous head of the flood dragon, and approached Pan Danfeng. He bowed respectfully toward the beast and said sincerely, "Many thanks, Brother Dragon. I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I have already spent too much time in this secret realm and have urgent matters awaiting me outside, so I must take my leave now. I hope we shall have the opportunity to meet again."
With a splash, the flood dragon rolled over in the river and let out two soft roars toward Chen Tianyang, seemingly expressing its reluctance to see him go. It then slowly submerged into the water and vanished from sight.
Relieved of the oppressive aura of the dragon, Wen Xingzhou finally let out a long breath. Though he knew the beast would not attack him, the mere fact that it was a legendary spirit beast—one that had injured Huangfu He in a single exchange—had left him trembling with involuntary fear.
