God's Gift

Yu Youyou ignored Anxing's voice. She happily tied the long sword she got from Anxing around her waist, and walked around the garden with her head held high, imitating the warrior in the story.

After walking a few laps, Yu Youyou looked at the empty garden and sighed in frustration.

When will Lu Keming come back?

-

When Lu Keming returned to the castle, night was closing in on the plains from all directions. Across the vast wilderness, gusts of cold night wind blew across it, bringing a bit of coolness.

The aquatic plants in the wetland bloomed small white flowers under the moonlight, moss and weeds grew mixedly beside the small pond, and the sound of insects could be heard intermittently in the night breeze.

The Lu family's territory is too vast, and most of the area is undeveloped. The endless wilderness is shrouded in the darkness, with only the sparse moon bringing faint light.

Lu Keming walked alone in the night. His hot blood gradually cooled down in the night wind, and his exhausted limbs made it extremely difficult for him to move.

The cold moonlight fell on Lu Keming's cold skin, adding a bit of loneliness.

When the clouds blocked out the moonlight, the ground was swallowed up by darkness again.

A firefly flew up from the weeds, circled in front of Lu Keming's eyes for a few times, and then flew forward with him.

Lu Keming stopped and looked at the fluorescent green light in front of him, with a hint of confusion in his golden eyes.

As the night wind blew, more and more fireflies spread their wings and flew out from the grass. As Lu Keming's footsteps rose and fell, they flashed and lit up on both sides.

A long road made of fireflies extends across the fields.

The fluorescent light all over the sky was reflected in Lu Keming's golden eyes. He stood there in shock, looking at this road of fireflies in confusion. The quiet heart in his chest began to beat again.

He raised his finger, and a glowing firefly landed on his fingertips.

"Youyou..."

Lu Keming's breathing quickened a little. The coldness in his eyes was dispelled by the warm light, and a smile full of joy appeared on his face.

As we walked along, the night was cold and desolate, my bones and muscles were torn and reorganized, and the pain extended to every inch of my body.

Originally he was numb and lonely, but now he felt like he was alive again. A feeling of fullness and sourness spread in his chest, but was replaced by uncontrollable joy.

He walked alone all his life, until she came down from the sky, tore his world into pieces, but also put him back together bit by bit.

The love surged out, making him dizzy and flattered.

His Youyou, his savior.

Lu Keming quickened his pace, fireflies dancing in the sky, the wind from his running lifted his clothes, he just wanted to see her quickly.

The road lined with fireflies leads all the way to the Lu family castle. At the end of the road, Yu Youyou, with a sword on her waist, is waiting for Lu Keming with her chest held high.

Fireflies scattered, lighting up the garden in the night.

Yu Youyou looked at the breathless Lu Keming and asked in a serious tone:

"Corporal Dragon, why are you back so late?"

Lu Keming looked at the sword on Yu Youyou's waist and roughly guessed her current role. The smile on his lips became more and more genuine. He walked to her, knelt on one knee, took her hand and kissed her.

"I'm sorry, Master Warrior, I'm late."

Her breath fell on the back of her hand. Yu Youyou couldn't help laughing at first, but then she put away her smile and patted Lu Keming's shoulder seriously.

"It's okay, Corporal Dragon, I won't blame you today."

Lu Keming smiled, his eyes filled with Yu Youyou's figure, but he did not stand up, still kneeling on one knee in front of Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou noticed Lu Keming's golden eyes, bent down in confusion, squatted in front of Lu Keming, and looked into Lu Keming's eyes curiously.

"Lu Keming, your eyes have turned golden."

She stared into Lu Keming's eyes. In the past, his eyes would only look like this when Lu Keming was about to transform into a dragon.

Now that I am still in human form, I can already do this. What is it like...

Yu Youyou tilted her head, scratched it and thought for a while, and finally found a description for his eyes.

She held up Lu Keming's face and said in a surprised and joyful voice, "It's like the light of stars."

"So lovely."

Lu Keming's face was held by Yu Youyou. He stared at Yu Youyou intently. The love in his chest continued to swell, making his brain dizzy.

"I almost turned into a dragon today."

he said.

"In the past two years, I have often lost control of my body. Sometimes, even in front of others, the scales on my skin would pop out uncontrollably, and my eyes would turn into this golden color."

"We can't let those humans find out that I'm abnormal, or they'll think I'm a monster."

"If I were discovered by humans, they would be afraid of me, terrified of me, and would pluck my scales off or kill me with weapons."

“So every day is very difficult for me to endure.”

He complained one sentence after another, recounting the difficulties of the past two years, but it was also as if he was telling Yu Youyou about the hard work he had endured over the past twenty years.

Yu Youyou listened to Lu Keming's words carefully, her moist eyes were full of Lu Keming. She moved in front of Lu Keming and patted him on the back.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"But everything is getting better." Lu Keming lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Youyou, "Youyou is here, and everything is getting better."

After that, he looked up at the countless fireflies in the sky, laughed again, and asked Yu Youyou: "Youyou, do you want to go to the sky to take a look?"

Yu Youyou opened her eyes wide, looked at Lu Keming expectantly, and said excitedly: "I do!"

Lu Keming smiled and nodded, stood up and took a few steps back, then took off the dragon ring on his finger, took off his uniform, and let the blood in his veins boil wildly.

The twisted bones made a series of crackling sounds, and hard black scales quickly covered the fingers upwards and soon spread throughout the body.

Bone spurs protruded from the shoulder blades on his back, piercing through the white shirt, and a pair of huge dragon wings spread out behind him.

Soon, a giant dragon several meters tall appeared in the garden.

Lu Keming spread his wings and flew in front of Yu Youyou. He bent his neck and lowered his huge head in front of Yu Youyou's chest.

The golden dragon eyes looked at Yu Youyou. Yu Youyou cheered and caressed the dragon's horns lovingly.

Lu Keming rubbed Yu Youyou's palm affectionately with his head, then lowered his body and motioned Yu Youyou to climb onto his back.

Yu Youyou rubbed her palms and excitedly ran to Lu Keming's side. Following his sharp claws, she climbed onto Lu Keming's back in a few steps.

Lu Keming looked back at Yu Youyou who was sitting firmly, and uttered a low voice in his throat.

"Hold on."
