In the distant past, about seven thousand years ago, human beings had not yet been created in this world by the Original One, and the era when the seven gods ruled the seven kingdoms had not yet arrived in this world.

At this time, Teyvat was ruled by ancient dragons.

"Princess, please put the prince down! It would be bad if the king saw us."

"Humph! I will never admit that a black coal ball is my brother!"

The young girl with long black hair was holding a dragon egg in her arms, which looked almost the same color as a coal bale. She felt extremely disgusted with it.

The girl had a pair of dragon horns on her forehead and some dragon scales on some parts of her body, but other than that, she had no other features similar to those of a dragon.

In the era when humans had not yet been created by the Original One, this would undoubtedly be a freak with an extremely ugly and disgusting appearance.

There was no creature in the world that had any features similar to her, so the elders of the ancient dragon clan believed that she must have been cursed.

But due to her status as a princess, and no one being disrespectful to her, the girl had to stay at home and live in this cave where they could only see part of the sky with her brother who was still in the egg and had not yet fully hatched.

"Really? But if the king saw this, he would surely be angry, right?"

The dark blue ancient dragon couldn't help but laugh loudly upon hearing that. Then it stretched out its giant claws and gently patted the princess's head, who was not even as big as its claws, as a lesson to her.

The dragon eggshell is very hard, so it won't be easily damaged even if the princess kicks it like a ball.

The girl stepped on the inconspicuous little coal ball, raised her head and put her hands on her waist, looking at the giant dragon in front of her, unwilling to admit defeat. She couldn't help but fight back: "Humph, you are one of the seven [Dragon Kings], but you have to squeeze in this small cave with me and have fun with me. Don't you know how to say a few good words for me or take a few tails for me when my father wants to teach me a lesson?"

"Compared to your father, what kind of dragon king am I? I am just a slightly stronger ancient dragon. As for the last two conditions you mentioned..." Gu Long laughed loudly, then approached the girl with a very annoying expression, and said with a dark face, "I can't do these two."

"You--" The girl was so angry that her facial features were distorted. She scooped up the unhatched dragon egg with both hands and threw it to the ground like throwing a basketball.

All ancient dragons knew that dragon eggs could not be crushed at will, especially the eggs of the heirs of the Dragon King.

But no matter how good an egg is, it will get mad if it is thrown around by someone.

So, after the girl fell to the ground, the dragon egg bounced up instantly and hit the girl's jaw hard.

The girl's face turned black and she was forced to fall to the ground after being hit hard on the jaw, and the dragon egg bounced into the ancient dragon's giant claws.

Looking at the beautiful scene of the premature baby sister being hit hard by the late-born baby brother, Gu Long couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Gu Long lowered his head and looked at the dragon egg in his claws, then looked at the girl who was lying on the ground with her chin covered. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, but there was a ripple in his eyes.

"Princess, please remember what I say next time."

The girl touched her injured area, slowly sat up from the ground, and asked dissatisfiedly: "What?"

Gu Long grinned, looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Princess, did the king say that you and the prince are the children chosen by the world?"

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, looking incredulous.

"Huh? I don't believe it!"

The girl turned around unconvinced, crossed her arms and snorted, "Since I was born, I have been locked in this dark cave like a freak."

"Besides my father, the only people I see every day are the dragon elders and the seven elemental dragon kings including you." The girl's eyes were gradually wet with tears. She turned around and looked at the ancient dragon with resentful eyes and said, "I know the reason, because I am a freak."

"Except for the pair of dragon horns on the top of the head and the few dragon scales on the body, there is no other similarity between him and you. They call it protection, but in fact it is imprisonment!"

The girl pointed at Gu Long with her left hand and said word by word in an angry tone: "And you - I always thought you were the only Gu Long who would stand by me, but you actually spoke for that stubborn old thing."

"If I were not the nominal princess of the Ancient Dragon Clan, I would have been secretly dealt with long ago!"

Gu Long was speechless for a moment. Most of what the girl said was true, but to those who knew the truth, those words were extremely disrespectful to the current Dragon King.

Whether from the perspective of the Dragon King or the princess, they were both innocent.

This is just a misunderstanding, and it won't be long before the princess will understand the Dragon King's intentions.

Gu Long was neither anxious nor angry when he heard this. He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the princess venting her inner grievances. All he could do was to stretch out his claws and gently stroke the girl's forehead to comfort her.

Before the war predicted on the stone tablet comes, all it can do is follow the Dragon King's orders and do its best to teach the princess how to protect herself, so as to prevent her from being plotted against and used by the elders who are still immersed in the former glory of the dragon clan.

The giant dragon opened his eyes and looked towards the unhatched dragon egg in his claws.

"Princess, please believe me. I swear to my ancient dragon name that I will devote my whole body and soul to you."

The girl wiped the tears from her eyes, looked at Gu Long with hope and asked, "Really?"

Gu Long grinned and chuckled, "Of course. After all, Princess, you are the only child I have watched grow up."

The girl's eyes lit up, and she wiped her tears with her hands. She put her hands on her waist, turned her back and said smugly: "In this case, I will forgive you."

The princess is really easy to coax, as if she has never grown up.

Gu Long felt helpless, and then couldn't help thinking, "With this IQ, will I really not be cheated in the future?"

Gu Long sighed helplessly, and then couldn't help but whisper: "Alas, I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will be smarter than the Princess in the future."

After hearing this, the girl raised her head with an unhappy look on her face and asked, "What did you just say?"

Gu Long's heart was immediately filled with alarm bells, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No, nothing. I was just talking nonsense."

The girl snorted softly, then seemed to suddenly sense something and subconsciously turned around to look towards the entrance of the cave.

Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching from afar, the girl's face turned pale. She quickly took the dragon egg in the ancient dragon's claws back into her arms, and knelt obediently beside it, hoping that the other party would not target her so soon.

The ancient dragon seemed to have noticed something as well. Hearing the heavy footsteps gradually approaching, it changed its previous state of laughing and playing with the little princess. Its expression showed the unquestionable majesty of an elemental dragon king, as well as respect for the person in front of it.

A giant dragon covered in jet-black dragon scales slowly walked out, its golden pupils frightening the dragon. Its eyes first swept over the girl who was kneeling on the ground, and then fell on the ancient dragon.

Seeing this, Gu Long quickly leaned forward and said, "I await your arrival at any time, [King]."
