Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 178 Breaking In



Two Air Qi Dragon Claws formed from his arms as he teleported between them, spreading them to the sides to stop their charge. Too bad, none of them showed any signs of stopping, leaving him with only extreme measures to use.

"I said stop!"

Boom!

His Dragon Claws exploded with the wind, pushing them back even if they were unwilling. He didn't have much Air Qi to spend yet but having Seventh Refining combined with the power of his Elemental Bracelet was enough to halt them.

"When I say stop, you stop! What got into you?! What if you hurt Wu by accident?!" Xuefeng scolded intensely. "We are family and friends! I don't care what happened between you two in the past, if you want to stay around us, you better behave!"

"There is no way I will ever be friends with this bit—" Drakos snapped, but Xuefeng cut him off in time.

"Call her bitch one more time and I will beat you up myself!" Xuefeng threatened, already pissed of by their attitude. "If you don't like it here, you can leave and never come back. I don't want friends who attack people important to me."

He turned to Golden Queen and scolded with a similar passion.

"And you, the same thing applies to you! I didn't take you here so you can fight my friends. If you two still want to battle, wait till we are done with our mission."

The two Dragons glared at each other and Golden Queen acted first, grunting as she backed off while turning back into her human form.

"Ugh, fine, but I only do it because you asked. I will never be friends with him."

"That's okay. I didn't hope for that at all," Xuefeng accepted. "We came here with an urgent purpose yet that quickly moved to the second plan when you two decided to solve old disagreements. Once we are done saving your cousin, you two are free to do whatever you want."

He gazed at the Dwarf Kingdom in the distance and commented, "That King of Dwarfs is probably laughing at you right now. Let's get this over with."

"So that black-scaled annoying girl is your cousin?" Drakos asked as he returned back to his human form as well. "I could have guessed it. Only someone related to you could be this stubborn."

"Enough!" Xuefeng snapped. "Next time you get in trouble, we won't come from the other side of the Realm just to save you. You don't appreciate the effort at all."

"Okay, okay! I'm done," Drakos called out, throwing hands up in surrender.

"Where is Bella? Let's all group and figure out what to do," Xuefeng ordered as grabbed Wu's hand before reminding, "I don't want to hear any fights between you two."

He didn't wait for their confirmation but his intimidation worked well as the two only exchanged glares without jumping to each other's throat.

"That was pretty hot…" Wu whispered on the way to the Flying Ship. "Thank you for saving me my King."

"Heh, of course. Your safety is my priority," Xuefeng confirmed and asked just to be sure, "Anything I need to know about Bella and Drakos situation?"

"Just that she is jealous over Miss Golden's Cousin. Drakos didn't greet or worry about her once we saved him and instead focused on that female Dragon. Bella doesn't even want to talk to him," Wu briefed him in a whisper, causing Xuefeng to roll his eyes.

"What an idiot…" Xuefeng muttered hopelessly. "That probably ruined his chances completely. I will talk with her later and see what I can do."

"Mhmm," Wu nodded, hugging into his arm with a smile. "I have the best man in the world."

Xuefeng only kissed her in response, not trying to deny it. They landed on the top of the ship and met with Bella who has been watching them from the distance.

"Xuefeng, you came earlier," Bella called out with a smile as she stood up to greet him, but when her gaze fell on Drakos, her smile disappeared. Just this much was enough to see there was something wrong between them.

"Bella! It's been a while!" Xuefeng exclaimed cheerfully and swiftly hugged her. She was already used to his friendly hugs, but this time, he felt a much tighter squeeze than usual.

He made use of that as he placed his palms on her exposed back and channeled his Fate Qi through her, regenerating her tense body.

"Ah…" She moaned into his ear as her body gave in to his Ability, relaxing momentarily.

"Do you feel better?" Xuefeng asked as he pulled away and she was like another person, smiling cheerfully.

"Mhmm, I'm good. Thank you," Bella acknowledged. "I always knew I can depend on you."

"Of course. You are my friend," Xuefeng nodded friendly as he questioned, "I know you probably don't feel like helping, but would you mind joining me? The female Dragon that is still imprisoned in the Dwarf Kingdom is actually a cousin of my Master's Wife. I want you to help us save her."

"Oh," Bella paused as Xuefeng introduced Golden Queen to her, but quickly smiled, nodding. "Sure, since it's you who are asking then I don't mind."

"Great! Let's go then," Xuefeng decided, wanting to move right away when Wu stopped him.

"Wait, what's the plan?" Wu asked confused. "Do you plan to just break in and get her back? Maybe we should try to negotiate again?"

"Didn't you already try it? We can only use force at this point," Xuefeng suggested. "With three Celestial Beasts by our side, I don't think we will have a hard time getting in."

"Those Dwarfs are sneaky. They use fire-proof shields to block our fire," Bella pointed out only to have Golden Queen display her golden Lightning.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to block my Lightning," Golden Queen assured.

Wu thought for a moment and order her guards, taking more than half with them just in case. There was no need to waste any more time so they moved, approaching the Dwarf Kingdom.

"Those doors are massive," Xuefeng muttered as they stopped in front of the entrance. Burn and scratch marks were everywhere but all flames were already extinguished.

He was about to shout, threatening to break in unless the King of Dwarfs decided to talk to them, when the door creaked, slowly opening.

"Huh?"
