Chapter 476: Chapter 349: Trish: "It’s Simple, Just Insult Me as Much as You Like!
White Dragon Trish soared beneath the clouds as heavy as lead, with raindrops incessantly striking her broad wings.
Her gaze penetrated the curtain of rain and captured the scene on the barren land below.
Standing at the very center was the Red Iron Dragon, surrounded by four familiar figures—Heryam, Kahill, Ludwig, Seraphina.
"Why are they here too?"
A hint of doubt arose in her heart.
She silently pondered: "Could it be that the chief is just giving them an important task?"
Since deeply understanding and practicing the niche theory, Trish had long been in a state of profound thought, her mental perception becoming exceedingly keen, far surpassing an ordinary White Dragon.
For some reason.
At this moment, an indescribable sense of unease was quietly growing and spreading within her, as if something bad was about to happen.
Soon, the White Dragon reached her destination in the sky.
But she did not land immediately; instead, she gradually slowed her flight speed, circling under the gloomy sky a few more times.
She was buying herself extra time for thinking and observing.
Finally, she landed slowly in front of Galos.
"Honorable King of Molten Iron."
Trish’s gaze avoided the nearby teenage dragons with burning eyes.
She focused on the Red Iron Dragon, lowered her head, and praised, "Every time I see you, you seem more majestic and powerful than the last time."
"Even these sky-covering heavy clouds cannot conceal your magnificent and robust dragon body."
Saying this, she dared not delay and quickly took out the sealed Black Oil Crystal, handing it over to the Red Iron Dragon.
"The road here was not safe."
Trish let out a long breath, seemingly relaxing from tension, while saying, "Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, such as a group of thoughtless Giant Eagles attempting to intercept, and a sudden thunderstorm area... they did not truly stop my stride."
"Luckily, I completed the mission successfully and delivered safely."
Actually, her journey was calm and smooth, not confronting even a decent creature.
But to emphasize that her trip was not a simple errand but involved risk and responsibility, making herself seem important, she calmly told a little lie.
Galos stored all the Black Oil Crystals into the space items.
"Hmm, you arrived quickly, with decent efficiency."
He responded simply, with little detectable emotion.
At this moment, Trish quickly glanced at the teenage dragons beside her with the corner of her eye.
This glance made her heart tighten suddenly.
She noticed an almost uncontrollable smile on the faces of those four dragons, and their eyes unabashedly showed eager looks, intensely focused on herself.
Oh no...
Trish instantly understood the source of her unease, with alarm bells ringing in her heart.
"Since the supplies have arrived safely, if you don’t have any urgent matters,"
The White Dragon blinked her eyes, making her tone sound natural and full of responsibility, saying, "I’ll prepare to return to the Border Area now."
"Under my careful education and guidance, the young dragons in Dragon Valley are in a critical growth period."
"They are thriving, growing stronger every day, and soon they’ll shine for the tribe, but they still have many survival skills and rules to learn, needing my guidance every moment."
Under Trish’s anxious gaze, the Red Iron Dragon slowly shook his head.
"No rush."
His huge mouth seemed to curve slightly upward, as if smiling, saying, "Heryam, Kahill, they can also be considered students you’ve taught in some sense."
"It’s been a while since you last saw each other; today is a chance reunion, there might be something to talk about."
White Dragon Trish remained silent for a few seconds, then turned her gaze to the teenage dragons, her chest and head rising up.
"Heryam, Kahill, Ludwig, Seraphina."
This time, she did not immediately reveal a scornful, disdainful, or superior gaze as usual,
Instead, covered with ice-like scales, her dragon face showed a gentle smile.
The White Dragon changed her usual demeanor, speaking in a sincere tone: "Seeing the way you are now truly makes me emotional."
"You four are without a doubt the most outstanding and excellent students I’ve taught."
"In the past days, to maximally urge you to grow and stimulate your potential, I had to adopt some... well, perhaps extreme methods, doing many things against my gentle nature."
"These methods might not have been understood by you at the time and might have caused you resentment."
She shook her head helplessly, saying, "But now, seeing with my own eyes that you have become indispensable pillars for the Molten Iron Tribe, playing increasingly important roles within the Dragon Group, I am sincerely proud and delighted for you."
"Next, I will take you as examples to inspire and teach those younger dragons."
"Let them all strive towards you, let them all be proud of you."
Hearing these heartfelt and completely different words from White Dragon Trish, the four originally aggressive teenage dragons couldn’t help but pause in surprise, showing expressions mixed with shock and confusion.
Could it be... Trish’s previous insults and oppression were really all for their good?
