Chapter 97: I Don't Want Mom to Be Angry, I Don't Want a Tail.

The layers of icy scales along the dragon's tail spine were piercingly cold, each rising scale bearing a blade capable of tearing through mountains and rivers.

Not to mention the cub thrashing in the water, clamoring to bite him to death.

However, when the dragon's tail scooped the little creature up from the deep water, the scales, gleaming with a cold sheen, lay flat against the tail, without a single sharp curve.

Shang You's entire body was caught off guard by the massive, slender section of the dragon's tail, shivering with cold.

Her face was smothered in icy water, and she choked and vomited several times. Realizing that it was the dragon's tail that had engulfed her, she clenched her fists and slapped the dragon's tail, crying out, "

Let me go! I hate you!... You bastard who hurt my mother! You big bastard!..."

Unable to break free, Shang You immediately used her tiny claws to fiercely scratch at the scales, which were larger than her face. At the same time, her tail, in the air, puffed up and gathered strength, slamming down with all her might on the dragon's tail that still held her captive.

But the massive tail remained steady and unmoved.

Already choking on the icy water, Shang You's eyes and nose were red. Unable to break the scales, and unable to wrench them away with her tiny tail, she cried in desperation. At one point, she recklessly bit the dragon's scales in front of her.

Before Ying Shixue could even react, Shang You's own teeth were stung by the hard, cold dragon scales. The tip of his tail trembled, and his sobs grew even more pitiful.

Ying Shixue remained speechless as he carried the limp cub, which had been thrashing on his dragon's tail, to the shore of the cold pond, finally releasing it.

He stood still at the water's edge, his face expressionless, his icy eyes cast down, divine and indifferent. He looked at the wet cub, curled up in a small ball, unable to withstand the chill, and spoke in a calm voice.

"Forget it this time. Don't come here again." Frozen,

Shang You clung to the dragon's tail, his eyes soft and red, his eyelashes trembling. He raised his head in anger at these words and roared hoarsely at him, "I want to find my mother! I want my mother!"

Ying Shixue's face was stern and dignified, and he uttered only these two cold words.

"No."

As if Shang You had not been frozen enough, he rushed forward in a rage and tried to hit his dragon tail with his head. The cold white hand pressed his forehead lightly, and the tip of the tail swung wildly, but he couldn't get close. He could only scratch his wrist with the two small dragon claws, "Where did you take my mother? You bad guy! Give my mother back to me!..."

Ying Shixue let go, glanced at the cub's dragon tail that was still flapping and flailing, and said without any emotion.

"You have dragon blood in you. If you appear in front of her again, she will only kill you."

"What..." Shang You fell down on the ice stone. Hearing this, his body trembled violently, and he stared at him with tears in his eyes fiercely, "You are talking nonsense! Mommy loves Youyou the most! Youyou is Mommy's most beloved baby. Mommy will never kill me!..."

But Ying Shixue's cold and indifferent gaze made the little guy once again shrouded in extreme anxiety in his young body and mind.

Shang You panicked, her tearful amber eyes following his gaze to her translucent blue dragon tail. Her tiny paws helplessly clung to the tip, her voice trembling again as she sobbed.

"Tail...is it because of this tail..."

"I don't want Mommy to be mad. I don't want a tail. I don't want a tail like yours, a scoundrel!"

Shang You cried bitterly, fearing her mother would abandon her because of this nasty tail.

Unconcerned with the pain, she balled her hands into fists and pounded hard on her dragon tail, attempting to break it.

However, before Shang You could even strike a few times, a cold current transformed into ice chains that held her hands.

Ying Shixue withdrew her gaze, reopened the water barrier, and ordered the guards outside to escort her away.

He turned, ignoring the cub's desperate cries. However, just as he returned to the icy pond, his face expressionless, he heard the cub's painful cry muffled by flesh and blood behind him, followed by the guard's panicked cry, "Little princess, open your mouth!"

Ying Shixue, sensing the scent of the cub's dragon blood wafting through the cold air, glanced sideways.

Though Shang You's hands were bound by the ice locks, unable to move, she was clearly frightened by Ying Shixue's words and filled with hatred for the sudden appearance of her own dragon tail.

So, as the water dragon beast guards tried to escort her away, the little creature, refusing to give up, struggled to lift up her short, blue tail and grasped it with her tiny paws. She lowered her head, bared her tiny fangs, and bit down on a scale at the tip, tearing it off with all her might.

The cub's dragon tail had only recently formed, and its bones and flesh were still so tender that they seemed boneless, not to mention the thin, soft scales covering it.

Shang You was truly horrified. Even though the guard had thrown up his hand to block the bite, a small dragon scale had been torn out, along with flesh and blood. Blood immediately oozed down the tip of the dragon's tail... Shang You

also realized the pain belatedly, excruciatingly.

Tears streamed down her face, yet she still had to bite off all the scales from the tail.

Ying Shixue only had a glance as her slender dragon tail swept the cub from the guard's grasp. She called out to the guards kneeling on either side of the ice stone, "Get out."

The two water dragon beast guards, vaguely aware of the king's increasingly cold and captivating breath, retreated almost silently outside the closing water barrier.

Ying Shixue reached out and scooped up the small dragon cub, holding down its two struggling paws.

Shang You was held in his arms, and fiercely kicked his palm with the tip of her tail, "Bad guy! Let me go!"

However, the next second, the back of his palm, which was filled with frost, covered the scales on the tip of Shang You's tail that had been bitten. The wound that was bitten by the scales healed instantly, and a small, thin and soft dragon scale grew back.

Ying Shixue's wrist was cold, white and tough, with red marks from the dragon cub's claws not long ago. Covered by a thin layer of icy breath, the scratches disappeared in an instant.

Ying Shixue calmly looked at Shang You who was still struggling in his arms, and spoke lightly.

"What are you doing?"

"Even if you pull out all your scales, new ones will still grow."

Shang You's eyes were filled with surging tears, and she continued to cry, "I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not."

Shang You was completely desperate. She couldn't bite her own tail, nor could she bite the bad guy who was holding her. She could only hit his arm with her head -
