Chapter 403: Chart of Lineage

Her heart clenched.

She didn't know why, but the thought of this little creature being bullied, being hurt, being alone in this plane full of strong beasts… it made her chest feel tight.

Her fingers gently stroked its soft, red scales.

The lizard was still breathing, still holding on, despite everything.

Gu Jin's aura grew colder.

She lifted her head and stared at the dragon, her eyes like ice.

"Say that again."

The dragon frowned. "What?"

Gu Jin's voice was quiet but full of fury.

"Say that again. Say that it's weak. Say that it's pathetic."

The dragon hesitated. Something about the way Gu Jin was looking at it made even him feel uneasy.

Gu Jin slowly stood up, still holding the little lizard close to her chest.

"I don't care if its core is broken. I don't care if everyone looks down on it." Her voice was firm, unshaken.
