Four Split Personalities

"If I tell you, will you obediently drink the blood marrow?"

Motan immediately countered.

After five seconds...

"Yes."

Watching Ji Xiaoge avert her gaze, Motan could even sense the guilt from the two words she typed out, so he didn’t reply and just looked at her with an amused smile.

As expected, Ji Xiaoge couldn’t hold out for more than a few seconds before conceding defeat, sending a message in frustration: "Yes, yes, yes! I’m just a stupid, stubborn, and unreasonable idiot! You’re right not to tell me! Are you happy now?"

"I was wrong..."

"What did you do wrong!?"

"I don’t know, but if I’m wrong then it’s right."

"..."

Ji Xiaoge raised her little boot to kick Motan lightly, then glanced at the Golden Dragon King who was continuously bragging about his affair with his seventh wife and muttered softly, "You cheated!"

"Ah?"

Motan didn’t hear clearly and quickly asked, "What did you say?"

"I said you cheated! That illusion or whatever, that lousy Golden Dragon King said you have strong willpower and can maintain your true self in the face of temptation, but obviously, it’s because the system censored that ’gorgeous babe’ into a mosaic, right?"

Ji Xiaoge rolled her eyes at Motan and snorted lightly: "Honestly, aren’t you a bit disappointed?"

"Not at all! I’m really not!"

"Huh? Didn’t that trashy dragon say the person appearing in the illusion is the one you find the most beautiful?"

"To tell the truth, Miss Yege, you really are the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen."

Motan told the truth, even though lately he had dealt with a variety of beautiful girls, from the sexy and enchanting D-level Laisa to the cute and playful A-level Double Leaf, and even the E-level Yu Chen (in her Chaotic Neutral state), who was perfect in both character and looks. Among NPCs, there were also beauties like the elf Xia Lian, the human Little Ai, and the orc Bola, all with above-average looks, and even characters like the ’emotionless beauty’ (Luna). However, if we talk about the concept of ’beauty’ alone, even his current Absolute Neutrality state, which was clearly starting to like someone, had to admit that Ji Xiaoge was the most beautiful, without a doubt.

It’s not that others aren’t pretty, it’s just that this girl’s beauty is on another level.

"Why aren’t you disappointed if she’s beautiful?"

Ji Xiaoge’s message pressed on.

"Real-life people and paper cutouts are two different things, the ’you’ in that environment, even though she looked like you, still felt a bit unreal."

Motan shook his head with a wry smile and replied helplessly.

"Oh? So if it was the real person, you’d be disappointed?"

"Sister, have some self-respect..."

"I’m just saying!"

"Yeah, and I’m just listening."

...

The two of them chatted idly for a while, and Ji Xiaoge’s earlier anger had mostly dissipated. After all, she wasn’t someone who liked to make trouble without reason, especially when the other person was actually looking out for her well-being. Even though she had some minor emotions, she was still quite touched in her heart, as Motan himself said it was just a hypothesis, and if he was wrong, his account would be gone.

Playing together for so long, Ji Xiaoge could feel that he really enjoyed this game and wasn’t the type who would be indifferent even if his character was wiped.

As for her appearing in his illusion...

Unless it was someone she extremely disliked, which girl wouldn’t want others to find her pretty?

A few minutes later, it seemed that the Dragon King, who had gone off-topic, finally remembered the matter at hand. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "In short, unfamiliar Dragonkin, you have now passed the first trial. The seal on this door will be lifted soon, and then you will face the second trial. Connections are also a part of strength, so your friends can help too. Well then, good luck."

As his voice faded, Boss’s phantom image quickly began to blur and disappear, while several streaks of light emerged on the door opposite them, dissolving into airy wisps after a few seconds.

"He doesn’t seem to be telling the truth."

Motan frowned slightly and whispered to Ji Xiaoge, "My taskbar still reads 0/5 for the trials, indicating I haven’t completed any."

The girl blinked and then shrugged: "Well, he’s a guy with a problematic dragon rank, but it doesn’t really matter I guess, since all we can do now is move forward."

"Right, the light on the door just now must have been some kind of seal being lifted."

Motan smiled, drew his One-Handed Sword of Justice Mandala from his waist, and winked at Ji Xiaoge, "Old rules, I’ll take the lead."

The girl nodded slightly, then looked at where Boss’s phantom had disappeared and said with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile, "He could’ve said it all in a few words, yet he dragged it out this long. Was he really at death’s door at that time?"

"Who knows. Anyway, let’s continue. There’s no exit here, and your Beacon can’t be used, so be careful."

Motan couldn’t help but give another reminder before slowly walking up to the door and cautiously pushing it open.

Then with a ’creak,’ the door opened, revealing a stone chamber that looked ninety percent similar to the one they were currently in.

The only ten percent difference was a huge parchment, floating in the center of the chamber, covered with words written in the flourish of the common language.

"The second trial is knowledge. As the nurturer of my progeny, you must possess a certain degree of knowledge, whether it’s about the Dragon Clan or this continent, you need to have a relatively in-depth understanding."

The slightly feeble voice of the Dragon King Boss sounded in the air, yet he was nowhere to be seen: "You have sixty minutes. As long as you answer a certain number of questions correctly, you can pass. There’s no danger during the process, no need for vigilance, but if you fail, you will be teleported directly outside the Dragon King’s Tomb. Now...begin."

Motan and Ji Xiaoge exchanged glances, took a moment to react, and then nodded at each other, walking into the second stone chamber.

"No way, I have to take tests even in a game!?"

Ji Xiaoge looked at the huge parchment and the golden feather pen floating next to it with a pained expression, lamenting with a particularly weary heart, "After I get back to Sky Pillar Mountain, Master Lu Wei will certainly test me on a regular basis too, ooh, my life is so hard..."

By this time, Motan had already re-hung his Longsword at his waist and spread his hands, "Don’t worry, since he used phrases like ’a certain degree’ and ’relatively in-depth,’ it suggests the questions shouldn’t be too obscure. Plus, we only need a certain number of correct answers to pass. I’ve read quite a bit about this world before; I should be able to handle the less advanced questions...err!?"

Just as he grabbed the feather pen and was looking over the parchment while speaking, Motan suddenly paused, his speech cut off halfway.

Ji Xiaoge, who followed Motan’s gaze to look at the beginning of the parchment, was also stunned at the same time, her slightly raised wings even drooping in shock.

[Part One: The History of the Dragon Clan]

[Question One: During the struggle for kingship before he became the Third Golden Dragon King, Luomiao used ＿＿ skills, followed by ＿＿ skills and then ＿＿ skills to defeat Juliana, the number one in combat ranking. This combo was named ＿＿ by the Fourth Golden Dragon King, ’Captain of the Dragon Nation,’ Tangni.]

[Question Two: The son of the Sixth Golden Dragon King, Black Dragon Tygore, died of ＿＿＿]

[Question Three: The most awesome and handsome Dragon King in the history of the Dragon Clan, who is the dream lover of three hundred million mother dragons, is ＿＿]

What the hell is all this mess!?

Motan turned his neck stiffly to glance at Ji Xiaoge and noticed that she seemed to have a thoughtful expression, as if she had some sort of clue!

[Worthy disciple of Master Lu Wei, indeed more insightful than me!]

Motan thought silently to himself, then awkwardly handed the pen to Ji Xiaoge and asked in a low voice, "Got any idea?"

She nodded slightly, took the feather pen, and gracefully floated up, writing down four big characters in the blank for the third question — Bosh·Garon.

Buzz, as soon as the words forming the third question shone golden, they twisted and changed into two words —

Correct!
