On the 16th platform of the Blood Temple, the luster black dragon which was lying on the ground, muttered under his breath, "Ha ha, the boy is doing fine until now. Even though I could create the world and the circumstances of the trial according to my whim, I can't really change his inner personalities and attitudes after all. He is not broken easily, even though I have been pressing him very hard under various forceful circumstances. Oh!" Ao Shun, the black dragon king, smirked and said, "Hee hee! That little doll is doing even better. Then, time for them to meet. Let me see whether your affection will still be there even after I have locked all of your memories. " He then closed his eyes and focused his consciousness inside the specific part of the soul sea where the trial was currently going on.
After Joey had collapsed on the ground. A group came later, picked him up and left the bloody battlefield. He regained his consciousness after a few days and found himself in an unfamiliar room.
"Ugh!" Joey groaned in pain as he tried to raise himself from the bed.
The door opened up, and a middle-aged looking chubby lady came inside the room. "Oh, you are finally awake. It's good then," she said.
Joey slowly stood up on the bed and asked her, looking vigilant, "Who are you? And where am I?"
"Eh, boy, you should be thankful to us. Have you forgotten everything? We found you among the corpses, brought you here and treated your wounds, thereby saving your life." The chubby face lady further spoke, "I'm Chun Churan. Relax, you are now in the Secret Dragon Society. Nothing will happen to you anymore. "
But her words triggered a more intense reaction from Joey. "The Secret Dragon Society?! Relax, my foot. I don't have anything to do with dragons. I'm leaving. " He then picked up the long sword on the table and tried to move out of the room while restraining the pain all over his body.
"This kid is so stubborn." She mumbled softly. Then she blocked his path and said, "Listen up, kid. This place is not like you thought. See, I'm also a halfling dragon, just like you. Yes, everyone here is all halfling dragons. So just get back on the bed and recuperate yourself first. Later, you can decide to leave when you are perfectly healthy. It's your decision, after all." Then the chubby lady poked her finger in his forehead, making him immobilized. She lifted him up easily and placed him on the bed.
"Argh, it's bleeding again! See, you are making my work even more difficult with your mindless stubbornness. Now I need to dress up your wound from the very beginning." Chun Churan, the Chubby lady, frowned a bit and began to remove the white bandage all around him.
"What are you doing? Release me. I don't need your help." Joey shouted, gnashing his teeth trying to free himself from the seal Chun Churan put on him.
"Kiddo, stop resisting. Instead, you better preserve your energy for healing yourself. " Chun Churan spoke, making a forceful smile over her chubby face.
After trying for a few minutes, Joey stopped resisting and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Hmm, finally done." "Now, just don't move for 5 five days and you will be recovered completely." "Boy, don't you think you are being rude here? I have been taking care of you for a week and you don't even thank me." Chun Churan spoke while making a goofy smile. "Alright, just tell me your name?"
"Hmph," Joey snorted. He then turned his back on her and spoke softly, "I don't need your help to begin with. "
"My-my, who is being shy now? Hee hee hee…" Chun Churan teased him on seeing his blushing face.
"No, I'm not. " Joey retorted briskly.
"Hee hee hee..." The chubby Chun Churan began to giggle even more.
After some time, the room returned to silent.
"Boy, I will take my leave. If you need anything, just call my name. I will be here the next moment, okay? Remember, it's Chun Churan." "Hee hee hee. Seeing your shy face really makes my day. Hee hee, what a cute little boy?!" she spoke out, her mind with no reserve, and moved toward the door.
"Joey."
Chun Churan began to tremble at hearing that name. She was just about to walk out of the room. Then she turned her head and asked, "What?"
"Joey, it's my name." He spoke with his back to her.
"Oh, then Joey, just be an obedient boy and stay there for a few days. I will come often to check up on you." She spoke with a gentle smile and went out of the room, slamming the door after she exited.
Like that, a week quickly passed, and Joey had completely regained his health again. After several interactions with the outspoken Chun Churan, Joey began to open up to her and developed a keen interest in her. He even told her the stories of his mother's and little sister's unfortunate deaths at the hands of those rascals from the Beast Taming family.
Hearing that, Chun Churan felt a sharp pain in her heart for a moment. She then quickly regained her composer and spoke out, "Oh, my poor boy! Come here."she hugged him tightly. For For some reason, as she hugged him, suddenly emotions flooded over her heart. And she thought in her mind, "What is this feeling? It's.. it's so warm. And I like to stay like this more. What is going on? Why is my heart becoming soft like this?" She then began to hug him even tighter and two lines of tears reached her cheeks.
After some time, they released from the embraced. Slowly moved back and looked at each other's face. Chun Churan saw the affection from Joey's eyes gazing over her face. It was the same for Joey as she saw her looking at him lovingly. He raised his hands and began to caress her face.
"Did we meet before?" They asked to each other at the same time.
