Could it be that my bloodline has a greater affinity with the dragon bloodline? Recalling how the Crystal Great Demon Emperor took a liking to me and gave me Jingjing, could it also be related to this reason?
After my body underwent a transformation, it was only natural to stabilize my physical condition, so after washing up and changing clothes, I saw there was still time and entered into meditation once again. Unexpectedly, I went straight into a deep meditative state until I sensed the changes in the space outside and woke from meditation. Had Pretty Girl not arrived, I could have very well missed today's competition!
I indeed wasn't wearing the mask just now, so I made the excuse of not being dressed to buy myself some time. Seeing that Pretty Girl had realized what was happening, I gave a sly smile and offered no further explanation.
"Let's hurry, we mustn't delay the competition. Mostly because today should be the day for drawing lots."
