Bai Jiaojiao stopped Yuan Zihe to give her a Dragon Scale.
This was only a temporary measure, acting as an early warning device and offering protection to Yuan Zihe.
The cause behind the previous fish and shrimp disturbance had not yet been found, and the night might not be safe. There might be battles ahead, so giving Yuan Zihe a token also served to prevent her from being overwhelmed by the dragon's might.
Bai Jiaojiao's dragon might indiscriminately intimidated all creatures nearby, friend or foe alike. Unless she reined in her might, but having just transformed into a dragon, it would take her some time to withdraw her oppressive aura. During this period, Yuan Zihe, being an ordinary person, might suffer immensely.
Yuan Zihe accepted the white Dragon Scale with reverence, so excited that she even forgot to say thanks.
This was a True Dragon's scale!
