Chapter 970 - 29: Dragon Slayer Warrior

"L-little sweetheart?" Buck blinked, "Am I missing you so much that I’m seeing things?"

"No, dear Buck, I am your little sweetheart." Tianmiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I’m sorry I didn’t listen to your advice to stay home and sew dolls with the maids."

"Little sweetheart? You, you, you..." Buck stammered, not knowing what to say. His mind was in chaos, filled with question marks. What was going on? Where was he? Why was his little sweetheart here, and why was she riding a dragon?

"Didn’t you say I was an angel?" Tianmiao laughed, "Then I am. An angel who descended to the human world to protect you. Here just for you." Tianmiao spoke softly, like a gentle breeze brushing past Buck’s ear.

"Angel..." Buck stared at Tianmiao in a daze.

"Don’t worry, dear Buck." Tianmiao smiled, "Would you like a ride?"

"C-can I?" Buck stuttered. The Dragon Clan wouldn’t allow anyone other than their masters to ride them. The dragon at Tianmiao’s feet was much larger than an ordinary dragon. It was obvious this was not just any dragon; would it allow him on?

"You can come up, but your griffin, I’ll have to put it away in the Dragon Pet Space and release it for you when we arrive." Tianmiao pointed at the griffin beneath Buck, "Even if my dragon agreed to let it up, it wouldn’t dare." This was bloodline suppression; the griffin had a deep-seated submission and fear of Kong Hou from its very blood.

Spirit Pet Space? What is that? Buck wanted to ask, but figured it was some mysterious tool of the angel’s, so he chose not to question further.

Just like that, under Buck’s astonished gaze, his griffin disappeared. However, his connection with the griffin remained, just that he didn’t know where it was. Nervously, Buck climbed onto the dragon’s back, sitting beside Tianmiao.

"Buck, no need to worry. Considering how often you fed her cake and ham, Kong Hou doesn’t mind carrying you for a ride." Tianmiao comforted, noticing Buck’s tension.

Hearing this, Buck’s mouth dropped open and his eyes widened.

Kong Hou? The little cat beside his little sweetheart? He too liked that little cat very much, often feeding her cake, ham, smoked meat. So, that was a dragon?! And such an enormous dragon at that?

That fact was truly magical.

...

When the Griffin Knight Order was "overtaken" by Kong Hou, everyone in the order was dumbstruck.

"I’ll go on ahead, you guys speed up." From afar, Buck’s voice was carried by the wind.

"Was that... our instructor, Mr. Buck?" the deputy leader of the knight order asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that was Mr. Buck. And the one beside Mr. Buck is his little angel, Tianmiao." The leader of the Griffin Group confirmed. He had been to Buck’s residence many times and had met Tianmiao many times.

"Wait, that dragon, is it... is it that little angel’s?" The deputy leader asked with wide eyes.

"Though I’d like to guess it’s Mr. Buck’s, I fear what you’re saying might be the truth. That little angel, even the esteemed Mr. Wallace speaks of her with great respect." The leader of the Griffin Group said in a daze, "Could she really be an angel?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain her ability to use Instant Magic and having a dragon mount?" the deputy leader said excitedly, "And today, we got to see not one, but two dragons!"

The leader pondered how history would record this day.

The mighty Griffin Group of the Empire, setting out from the Imperial City to the Dark Swamp to thwart a conspiracy, was first overtaken by the Dragon Knight Jesse and then again by Jesse’s sister Tianmiao riding a silver giant dragon. A group of Griffin knights were desperately chasing behind...
