Rise of the White Dragon-Novel

Chapter 354: Luan’s Old Dream

“Mom? What do you need to talk about alone that is so important?” Luan got serious.

Maira sighs. She herself didn’t think it was something so serious, but she still wanted to act cautiously.

“It’s like this…”

“~~~~”

After hearing the whole story, Luan’s serious expression softened: “Mom, this is so simple. You don’t even have to think about it. Oh yes, that’s for you.”

Luan was thinking that it was a much more important subject, however, when he heard it, he even thought that his mother was cute. Really, it wasn’t something that needed much thought, especially in this day and age.

Maira put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment, after she heard that he had something for her, Maira stopped pondering, “Yes?”

“Hehe, it’s something you might like.” Luan handed her a little box that looked more like a music box, “Check it out when you’re alone. Anyway, I’m leaving.”

“… Okay?” Maira nodded, confused.

She looked at the little box in her hand, then she looked in the direction of the door Luan came out.

When she was alone, she opened it. “That’s….”

.

.

The next morning.

Lenore arrived and said that there was an auction about to take place with rare items even for those in the Sixth Order.

“Don’t worry about the affairs here.” Ingrid told him with a smile, “I know there are many things you wish to do, while mine is to prepare for our wedding.”

“Are you sure about that?” Luan asked again.

“Yes, I do.” She gave him a charming smile, “Don’t worry, I know these things can be tedious for you, just leave it to me, my mother and mother-in-law. Just promise me that you will take at most 1 month in the tower, okay?”

“Yes, I promise.” Luan agreed.

.

.

Unlike the other times he went out, Luan was taking Leviathan with him this time.

Yauh stayed to help protect his family. Even though everyone is very strong now, he still thought it best to do something like this, since he got Leviathan off the island.

When he was thinking about Leviathan, Luan ended up linking it with him going back in time. The main reason is that Leviathan’s original soul seemed to be wounded and the power fell from the limit of the Sixth Order to the Fifth Order. Such a gigantic drop in power cannot be something so simple.

If there were significant changes, Luan would be willing to believe that it is just a mere coincidence, however, the changes that have happened are nothing more than ‘simple’. Perhaps those who were to be alive are now dead, just as those who were to be dead are alive. However, this change was caused by his intervention.

However, the fall from power and the wounding of Leviathan’s soul could not be because of this, it had to be for another reason that he was currently unaware of.

‘If only Leviathan will recover…’ Luan looked at the sword in his hand.

He could feel Leviathan’s soul fragment, but it was very weak, so weak that he could not communicate with it.

Luan and Lenore finished entering the tower after noon.

Maira wanted Lenore to stay but did not insist.

.

.

When they arrived in town, Nora was there waiting for them.

She stood there with a perfect posture, her thin lips puckered into an exquisite line.

“Mom~” Lenore hummed as she passed through the portal and spotted Nora in a red dress and dark red lipstick.

To say that she looked beautiful was an understatement; she was a beautiful combination of extreme sensuality.

If it were not for the fact that she exudes a dangerous aura, there would be several ‘moths’ surrounding her.

‘Hehehe, my mother is so beautiful…’ Lenore mentally complimented her mother.

On the other hand, Luan was petrified. “Nora, that dress…”

Luan’s mind wandered, and the memories of his first meeting with Nora appeared in his mind. It was sweet and salty memories.

“Hehe~” Nora just let out a charming little laugh.

Luan has driven into reverie again. However, he was back to normal very quickly.

Nora shows no disappointment, she even smiled wider when she saw him forcing himself back to normal.

Nora said with a small smile, further highlighting her wine red lipstick, “Shall we go? It will take two days or so to get to the auction site.”

“Oh, yes, let’s go.” Luan agreed.

.

.

After leaving the city, Luan stopped and said, “Oh yeah, since it’s going to be a long trip, we can use the Leviathan.”

Without waiting, Luan brought Leviathan and brought it back to its original form. Soon a sort of floating island/city appeared in the air.

“So nostalgic…” Nora muttered as she looked at Leviathan.

Luan looked at her. This reminded him that it was common for them to use Leviathan to travel…

Shaking his head, Luan said, “Okay, let’s go.” He then flies over to Leviathan.

Even though it was already far away from the city, Leviathan’s appearance drew attention, as its size was large enough to be visible from miles away. Especially for cultivators who have superior vision.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s surprising,” Lenore said with a long sigh.

She had seen fabulous treasures before. Even artifacts from the Sixth Order, however, still paled in the face of the Leviathan that was still in the Fifth Order.

“Luan, one of the items I learned there is in the auction, is a level 6 artifact core,” Nora said. She could tell that Leviathan’s power level had dropped.

She also tried to communicate with Leviathan, but without success.

“… On the way, I’ll stop by one of my treasure caves,” Luan said upon hearing that.

“I thought the same thing.” Nora smiled after looking around, she looked at him, “Although we may have enough wealth with us, it will be better if you have more. That’s going to be an auction done by a near Immortal.”

“Mm, I want to find valuable things that can help Leviathan’s advancement.” Luan said, “A level 6 artifact core isn’t necessarily going to be able to make Leviathan break through to level 6, but…”

“But, you’re going to take a very big step, yes?” Nora said with a small charming smile.

Luan stared at her for a few seconds before nodding, “Yes, you are right.”

While they remained silent, Luan commanded the Leviathan to start moving.

The people who were approaching to see Leviathan were destined to eat dust.

In the blink of an eye, Leviathan had already left only a blur, disappearing from their sight.

“What an amazing thing…!”

“I wonder. Who owns that floating island?”

People stopped chasing and started talking to each other in pure admiration, speculating the origin of the floating island that suddenly appeared near the city.

.

.

Almost noon had passed, and the place where they were currently was a night with two moons.

Sipping wine, Nora exuded a delicate and charming air. When she sighed as she looked at the two moons, she was like a beautiful maiden waiting for her Prince Charming that had been a long time coming.

She suddenly laughed, “Hehehe, Luan?” Nora looks at him with a cheeky smile, “I remember once you told me you wanted to go to the moon. Do you still have that desire?”

“…” Taken aback by this question, Luan did not answer, he was silent as he turned his gaze from Nora to the moons. His gaze deepening, “I didn’t get to think about it much. But, yeah, now that you’ve mentioned it, I’d kind of like to try to get to the moon.”

Lenore was confused, she asked, “Is it really that hard to get to the moon?”

“Yes, even someone in the Sixth Order won’t be able to do that easily.” Nora said, “Every kilometer closer to the moons, you will be more influenced by the laws of the universe, so you may even die. I know that in the history of Luan’s planet, they were able to go all the way to the moon, however, it won’t be so easy if you try to do that with either of the two moons here.”

“I don’t understand.” Lenore said, “Is it that hard? If so, why?”

“Because the moons here are very powerful. It doesn’t reach the level of going towards the sun.” Nora said dreamily, but even a little frightened, “One is capable of freezing to death, even if it’s someone on the edge of the Sixth Order, while the other… Emits strange energy that will corrode all the cells, thus killing anyone who comes close.”

Luan added, “This planet is so powerful that it can turn that into benefit for the inhabitants, however, from the moment you leave the planet, you no longer have the protection of the planet.”

“I see.” Lenore was silent after that.

Nora said with a smile as she looked at Lenore, “But even if you can’t get very close to the moons if you stay just a little close and train, you can accomplish a lot of good things.”

“It’s still early for her,” Luan said. He knew the risks he had in getting close to the moons. One wrong step, she could die.

“Yes, I’m not saying that because I want our daughter to do that.” Nora swirled the wine in her cup, “I just wanted to broaden her horizons. After all, it’s only a matter of time before she reaches the Sixth Order, when that happens, it will be nice for her to know that she can train in a more productive way as she approaches the moons.”
