Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

Li Dong sighed. He knew a day like this would one day come, but never did he expect that it would be so soon. In truth, he was infatuated with the blood soaked women in the picture. She looked domineering, powerful, and was as pretty as a fairy. With another sigh, he waved his hand, bringing Kana to Ako. "Master!"

Ako immediately ran forward as soon as she saw Kana. She had worked hard and wanted to show Kana everything she was now able to do. Kana smiled and patted Ako's head as she said: "My time in the dreaded grounds is just about up. We will be pulled out soon. For now, it would be best for you to return to my body." As a contracted beast, Ako had a special space inside Kana's mind sea she could live in. It could be considered a perk of the job. The space itself was whatever Ako dreamed up, and she could change it based on her mood. 

"I can finally see the outside world." Ako jumped for joy before turning into a stream of light and entering the spot between Kana's brow. Kana then turned to Li Dong and gave him a deep bow. "Thank you for everything."

"No! No! Please… I should be the one to thank you. After all these years, someone had finally come here. Although there is no more inheritance, I can now feel at ease. The task that I set out to do has finally been accomplished. I hope the picture will bring you many accomplishments in the future. Sadly I never was able to figure out who the woman was in the picture." Li Dong let out another sigh. 

Kana smiled and leaned forward and whispered: "Her name was Tina." As she said these words, she felt the token in her pocket shatter, and her body turned into a stream of light and shot out of the temple leaving behind a dumbfounded Li Dong. "Tina. Tina! Hahaha! Now I know her name!"

Li Dong closed his eyes and smiled brightly. His old face seemed to grow younger as if he had returned to his youth. "I guess my job here is done. I can now finally move on." 

A golden light enveloped Li Dong as his body slowly began to turn into balls of golden light that floated up into the ceiling of the temple, passing through it and up into the sky. Li Dong had only ever wanted to pass down the inheritance that he had watched over for so many, many years...

Kana's view quickly changed, and she found herself standing looking at an old man and a young man that seemed to be waiting for her. At the same time, another light flashed, and a slender figure appeared next to Kana. Kana turned to see her friend standing there alive and well and jumped on her hugging her tightly. "Nana!"

"Kana!" Liu Na had tears in her eyes. She knew nothing would kill her friend. The two girls hugged each other tightly. They had grown a strong bond with one another after fighting together for so long. 

"Oh, you grew very strong!" Kana just now realized that Liu Na now had a powerful aura around her.

"Hehe, I was able to gain a fortuitous  encounter." Liu Na said with a smile. She was checking Kana over for any wounds to see Kana was perfectly fine but one thing seemed to stand out. "Kana, where did you get this robe?"

"These? Old man Li Dong gave them to me. You were not the only one to have a good encounter in there." Kana said with a sly smile.

"Li…. Li….. LI Dong!? Little girl, did you say Li Dong!?" Lord Yong, who was standing there waiting for the girls to finish up, suddenly yelled out. His eyes were full of envy as he looked at Kana. 

"Mmm… Old man, you know him?" Kana asked. She had forgotten Lord Yong's name. 

"He was an expert from ancient times and was someone who could split heaven and earth. He was a legend!" Lord Yong answered with much enthusiasm.

"Oh… Well, he was pretty nice. He let me train using his trials." Kana had to thank the old man a lot. He had helped her so much.

"You are truly lucky. This old man can not help but feel envy. It's good that you both were able to make it out alive and also gained much from this experience." Lord Yong smiled at the two girls. He could tell the air about them had completely changed. Whatever they went through was very beneficial for them. "From the next few days, take some time off to rest and explore the area a bit. Just be careful not to cause any trouble. I will take the two of you back now."

"Ummm…" The long forgotten Prince Dong finally spoke up. He was scolded by his father when his father found out he was so viciously rejected by Kana. Something about how he was not a man since he couldn't even woo a girl. Gritting his teeth and clenching his fist, he said: "Miss Kana, allow me to escort you around the capital."

Kana snorted and looked at the man who was obviously doing this against his will and asked. "Why would I walk around with someone who has stinky breath? Am I asking to have my nose rot off while you talk about things? No, thank you. I prefer to explore things on my own. Or I can just drag Nana around. Either way, I want to bathe and rest. Old man, can you take us back now, please?"

Lord Yong was doing his best not to laugh and only silently nodded his head. If he spoke, he would not be able to stop his laughter. He had never seen Prince Dong be looked down upon by any girl, but here Kana was making him out to be some beggar on the roadside. Lord Yong walked out with Kana and Liu Na, leaving behind a red faced prince. "That bitch! Fine! Since you do not know how good the heavens are, just wait! I can not do anything to you directly as you have my father's protection, but that does not mean I can't have others deal with you for me. Just a small body fortification realmed cultivator, what can you do! I will make you beg on your knees for me to help you!"

With a snort and a flick of his sleeve, Prince Dong left the area as well. As he did, a middle aged man walked out from behind the door to the dreaded grounds and shook his head. "That boy is hopeless. But even so, this may help that little girl grow more.. For now, I will see how things go. It seems my stupid son did not notice that the little girl was as strong as him as she is now a rank to demonic beast on top of being a peak body foritifcation cultivator…"
