Rise of the White Dragon

After eating, Nora was called by Ingrid to talk.

While Luan was in the living room with Lenore, Ingrid and Nora went to the patio, in Nora's room.

Ingrid noticed that to her surprise, Nora's room was quite feminine and elegant. It even had a princess bedroom feel with a red and pink color theme.

Sitting down on the bed, Nora signals Ingrid to sit down too.

Ingrid didn't sit on the bed, but rather pulled out her desk chair and sat down.

"Now, what would you like to talk about?" Nora was curious.

.

.

It was their intention to return the same day, but Ingrid strangely wanted to stay one night. Luan didn't think much and agreed.

When they were all together, Luan said: "Mm, something you'll soon know, so I'll say it now. I asked Ingrid to marry me."

"Oh, congratulations~" Nora smiled. She didn't look the least bit affected. She didn't even look surprised when she heard him say that.

Lenore was even more nonchalant, she congratulated them before going back to eating the milk pudding.

Luan thought for a while, then he felt enlightened: 'Have you seen the ring on Ingrid's finger before, and have you already deduced that?'

So he didn't think about it anymore.

.

.

The next morning, after saying goodbye to Nora and Lenore who wanted to stay with her mother, Ingrid and Luan flew towards the nearest town to return to land.

When they arrived in the city, many glances were stolen in their direction.

Emperor of the Clouds and Empress Magma are the names they gave them when they fought the tsunami of giant rats.

Even though Yauh received attention, some could guess that he was one of the bosses that controlled the giant rats and were captured by the Emperor of Clouds.

Even a little surprised, Ingrid continued by Luan's side confidently. She has long been used to receiving attention. On earth, that small amount of people who kept looking at them while pointing and whispering is too little. Even in some smaller towns, there were more people.

'Magma Empress... They could put a better name, like Beautiful Magma Goddess...' Ingrid sighed and decided not to think about it anymore.

As he approached the great gate, Luan made the cloud descend more and more.

In this city, they charged to tax to be able to use the portal to return to their planets. However, when the guards felt the aura of Luan and Ingrid, even the little mouse beside them, involuntarily, took a few steps to the side, opening the way.

Ingrid thought and said: "Luan, are we going to pass without paying?"

"Do you really think their intention is just to charge fees to get through the gate?" Luan asked in response.

Ingrid looked at him and pondered, "Hmm... To go out too?"

"Almost that." Luan said: "If a new planet connects to this city, they will definitely take advantage of them. Mainly to buy them things for free. Even offering worthless things in return."

"Hard to believe… But isn't that risky? If the people of the planet that connect in this city become stronger, or even have powerful leaders, won't this city be at risk?" Ingrid asked her doubt.

The guards who let them pass shuddered.

Yes, indeed this has happened before. However, only the people suffered, while the city lord calmed the fury of these leaders in various ways...

"Heh, of course, they know about this risk, but surely whoever is in charge knows how to deal with these types of people. Maybe even have Emperor rank supporter." Luan said.

"Ohh..."

After that, Ingrid was silent.

In a few seconds, they were through the gate and inside the tower.

Arriving at the credit exchange area, Ingrid and Luan exchanged all the credit they had before.

"We will?" Luan noticed that she moved a little away from the changing machine after putting away several items.

"Yea." Ingrid came over and took his hand.

.

.

"Mother?" Luan is surprised when he sees his mother almost entering the tower.

While it was night in the city they were in the tower, it was still day, it was almost late afternoon, and the sky was just starting to darken.

"Oh, you're here." Maira cracked a smile: "I was about to enter the tower to meet you."

Ingrid smiled and showed her hand: "Mother-in-law, look what your son gave me?"

"Ara? Ah, ah. My my!" This took Maira by surprise, then she laughed and said with a wide smile: "Honey, congratulations, I already knew that sooner or later this would happen, but it still took me by surprise, congratulations~"

"Thank you~" Ingrid was even happier to see Maira's reaction.

Maira went to Luan and slapped him lightly on the chest and said, pouting: "You rascal, didn't you even think to tell your mother before? Look how surprised I was because of you, wow!"

"Hahaha, sorry." Though he said it, he didn't have the slightest hint of guilt on his face.

Maira stopped pouting and smiled. She said, "Okay, let's not just stand here." She looked at Ingrid: "Your mother is here. I want to see her surprised face too."

'It's not fair that I just got a big fright...' Maira added in her heart.

Minutes later, they reached the living room with everyone.

Ingrid went to her mother, and said, "Mom, look, look, I'm engaged~ I'm marrying Luan~"

"Oh my baby, I can't believe this is happening so soon…" Without her realizing it, tears begin to stream down Amanda's face.

Ingrid was surprised and a little shocked: "Mom, Mom, why are you crying?"

"It's just, it's just, I'm very happy." Amanda smiled through her tears: "You know, I never got the chance to get married in the church, I didn't even have an engagement ring, that was a luxury that for me… well, well, I'm not going to talk about my dull story. . I'm so happy for you, daughter~!"

"Mother!" Ingrid ended up not being able to hold back and cried a little.

She more than anyone knew the difficulties her mother went through. She said with a tearful tone: "Good things will come, let's not talk about the past anymore."

"Yea." Amanda nodded with a smile as she hugged her daughter.
