    Rollie meowed a few times before she reached out curiously and grabbed the cat by its neck. She held it up and asked, “Which street did youe from? What breed are you? The pattern on your head looks so cool. I wish I had it too.”


    She learned this from the MDT.


    It was obvious that the yellow cat was not blessed by a golden apple. It looked at Rollie in confusion. She had a pair of ears like the ones it had, but she was very different in other aspects. Soon, it recognized the silly cat’s smell andnguage, realizing that they were of the same race; it began to show her respect—well, it was not necessarily because of her smell andnguage. Not like one could figure out the worldview of these cats. Even Hao Ren had yet to figure out how the strays in the Southern Suburbs got along so well with Lily.


    “Doesn’t this cat fear you?” Nangong Wuyue reached down to scratch the yellow cat’s chin as she looked up at Gzur. “Where is your sense of authority? Ordinary animals should have jumped out of their skins in front of a dragon.”


    “I don’t know why.” Gzur shook her head. “From the day it was adopted, it has never been afraid of any dragon. It even ran around my pce and snatched food from the dragon guards, so it’s famous around here. Dragons think it’s an interesting creature ande to feed it.”


    Hao Ren also began to wonder if inspectors had somemonalities, that they would invariably encounter bizarre things. The big yellow cat was even more talented than a pre-transcendent Rollie. He patted the yellow cat on the head. “Does it have any special ability?”


    The cat girl immediately lowered her head and meowed at the big yellow cat. She then looked back up. “It has no special ability. It’s just too stupid to feel fear.”


    Everyone was speechless.


    Gzur looked up at a golden disc that was hung at the top of the hall. “Well, let’s end this for now; it’s time to go out for a stretch. I’ll take you to Thunder Peak—that ce is quite a distance from here. I’ll fly you there, and before that, I’ll give you a tour of my kingdom.”


    With a twinkling, majestic sound, Gzur turned into a golden dragon and the pce’s heavy stone doors swung open. The dragon soldiers who were on guard outside the pce immediately bowed their head as the dragon queen emerged.


    “I’m going out with these strangers,” said Gzur in a majestic voice. Her voice reverberated throughout the mountains. No one would have thought that she just had a mouthful of pork knuckles and stewed pork trotter a while ago. “Guard the pce; do not let anyone in before I return.”


    A dragon guard saw the people behind the dragon queen: Hao Ren and the others were busily climbing up onto Gzur’s back. The young dragon was shocked. “My Lady, these creatures… ”


    Gzur shot the guards a stern look. “Theye from above and we have known each other for a long time. Ask no more about them. That is an order.”


    The dragon guard immediately lowered his head in awe, before carefully retreating.


    Gzur used her tail to help Hao Ren and the others up on her back. She then leaped up from the massive square in front of the pce and hovered over the air.


    Lilyy on the dragon’s scale, looking down from the back of the dragon’s shoulder. She saw row upon row of pce buildings, all of which were not of human scale. Gzur’s pce was the most magical: like an oval-shaped nest floating inside arge cave, it was suspended by a dense mist of light with only a few thin air bridges connecting it to the distant cliffs. Underneath the pce was a sea of clouds.


    Gzur told them about the ce, that the lower part of Pyroxene Peak was linked to a different dimension. No human wisdom was able to pierce its secrets. Bards liked to write about the ce, describing how all the treasure that the dragons’ family had collected over thousands of yearsy underneath the clouds. It was a vast treasure house with enough to cover the entirend of the human kingdom in half a meter thick of gold. Bards: they were always neurotic.


    “Actually, it’s a ce to store and hatch dragon eggs.” In order to let her guests get a better view of her kingdom, Gzur deliberately circled it a few more times. “Dragon will not put gold jewels in ces like the treasure house. We would never let those precious stones out of sight; we made beds out of them, or had them iid in our bodies.”


    “You still do that?” Hao Renughed as though he had remembered something.


    “Of course we don’t do that anymore,” said Gzur, shaking her head. “In my fourth year as an inspector, my worldview was totally shattered; I bumped into a entirely made of diamonds during a mission. From that day onwards, my worldview became upside down. Now, I no longer collect jewelry, instead I collect food. I don’t believe that there’s a of sauced beef and barbecue cheese in the universe!”


    “How did the bards find out about the Kingdom of Dragons?” Lily was being logical. “Didn’t you say humans were forbidden in this ce?”


    “It was the dragons who spread news of it,” said Gzur, looking a bit helpless. “The young dragons were unable to resist the temptation. They often turned into humans and went out to y… or you may call it experiencing the world. They were the ones responsible for leaking news about the dragon kingdom. They loved to look like bards because they thought it was romantic and…”


    “And it feels better in the first-person perspective.” Hao Ren shrugged. “I feel you; I also know one who has the same problem.”


    Gzur emitted a dull sound as if she wasughing. She then turned around and flew upwards, flying out of the exit at the top of Pyroxene Peak into the sky.


    She rose higher and higher until she was above the clouds before she flew in a fixed direction. Lily nervously held on to a rugged bone on the dragon’s shoulder, looking scared. Nangong Wuyue marveled at Gzur’s flying skills. “Are you relying solely on your wings to fly? The speed… and the surrounding air flow are very strange.”


    “It’s the power of magic, a dragon’s inborn skill,” the dragon rumbled from the front. “With special training, we can even fly in a vacuum. The dragons are the only race on this who have the ability to enter space. Unfortunately, we cannot stand the cosmic radiation. That’s why Saint Sur IV is still nk in terms of its aerospace capability. Anyway, we take it slowly; after all, this is still young.”


    Gzur flew at a very high altitude, using the clouds as a cover to avoid causing panic on the ground. After all, a dragon queen flying overhead was no small matter for the races in that world. It was easy for a few nervous magicians to stun her with their fireballs, which were not very pleasant.


    Soon, Hao Ren saw the scenery before him change.


    Arge group of dark clouds, like pirs of smoke, appeared on the horizon. The clouds were circling and swirling around an axis with some asional lightning. The whole thing looked strange but magnificent.


    Needless to say, that was what Gzur referred to as Thunder Peak.


    “It took me a while to catch that vengeful spirit. It took shape in the space between Saint Sur IV and the Suharr Satellite Base. I don’t know why it was attracted to the gravitational equilibrium there, but when I noticed someone in space was interfering with the signal between Saint Sur IV and the satellite station, I went to check it out before capturing this thing.” Gzur slowly descended and headed towards Thunder peak. “That thing was nasty. A few pieces of my scales were burned when I tried to capture it. I finally got it using a strong maic field.”


    The dragon flew through a thick cloud before a magnificent ck “peak” appeared before their eyes.


    The peak was about several thousand meters high and it was formed by a series of cylindrical columns. Several rings of rock, which emitted blue light were circling the mountainside. There were bursts of intense lightning between the rings and the ck pirs of Thunder Peak. Hao Ren stared at it for a long time, yet he still could not help but ask, “Is this thing a mountain?”


    “Humans and dwarves in Saint Sur IV call it Thunder Peak because they couldn’t think of any other name,” said Gzur, smiling sulkily. “But it is certainly not a mountain. It was left behind by the first civilization. It’s a massive fusion reactor, which has been operating for nearly 20,000 years and counting. This thing used to provide energy for the entire. Now it’s just a pile of huge rocks constantly generating thunder and lightning.
