Rise of the White Dragon

Luan pinched Rikka's cute cheek. "Treasure, it's not what you're thinking. My relationship with Aunt Nora is complicated. To begin with, we were never married, and yes, we have a daughter, but it was because of her species being unique. Have you ever heard of vampires?"

"Not a lot," Little Rikka said in her childish voice, "As Mom lost her memories... She mustn't remember. Before, Mom told vampire stories, but she said it was all fiction."

"Well, vampires do exist, but they're not exactly the same as in the stories." Luan explained what she needed to know, and how he had a child with Nora.

"Wow! That's cool! Of course, that's cool." Little Rikka laughed a little. "Your story even seems to come right out of a fairy tale~"

Ingrid, who was relieved that Luan explained to Little Rikka that she wasn't a homewrecker, was soon speechless when she heard what Little Rikka said.

'What kind of fairy tales did she hear to come up with that thought?' Ingrid thought.

"Treasure, do you want some candy?" Luan pulled out of his storage ring a chocolate candy.

"Candy, of course, I want candy," Little Rikka said in her childish voice.

Luan chuckled, then he opened the wrapper and handed the chocolate to her.

"Thank you, of course, Rikka is grateful." Little Rikka was happy, popping the chocolate candy into her mouth. Soon the right side of her cheek was puffed out from the gob she had bitten off.

After that, Luan went back to undoing the miniature emerald blue planet seals. The fact that he was able to stop and continue showed how proficient he was at what he was doing, having complete control of the situation. Gradually, the last 'handcuffs' that held the seal were opened. Like an easter egg, the two parts opened, and inside were many natural crystals!

With his divine sense, Luan made all of it float, then made the clouds catch the natural crystals, without dropping any to the ground.

"Heavens, how are there so many?!" Ingrid could understand the importance of natural crystals from the moment that Luan used and became so powerful in a very short time. Of course, she understood that as an 'architect', Luan already knew how to build the 'building', but still, the importance of natural crystals should not be underestimated.

Nora looked at it in disbelief. She had never seen so many natural crystals together.

'Maybe that's the reason for the betrayal...' Nora thought about the reason Little Rikka's father had betrayed the clan and the reason the other elves invaded after the appeal. If they knew of the existence of these natural crystals, even living beings of the Seventh Order would not stand still.

In the air, Luan split the crystals into 4 parts: three equal parts and one part that was only a tenth of the whole. Although it was only one tenth, it was enough to last for months, even years. Luan handed this to Little Rikka, along with the container that held the treasures.

"Thanks, dad," Little Rikka said with a sweet smile. She had the privilege of using small pieces of natural crystals at a young age that she had gotten from her mother. Because of that, she knew the importance of these crystals.

"You're welcome." Luan returned the smile.

He gave 1 part of what was left to Ingrid and another to Nora. The last part he kept for himself.

"We should leave." Luan said, "Not that I think it's going to happen, but if they find out someone has been here recently, the elves who looted this place before might return."

"The odds aren't high, but it's better to avoid that," Nora agreed.

Soon, they left that place very quickly.

Coming out of the ruin, they were embraced by the light of the three suns. Yes, at that moment 3 suns were appearing. There were also times when it was only possible to see 2 suns.

"Nora, are you going back to your clan?" Luan asked while looking at her.

"Yes..." She sighed tiredly, but then she smiled mischievously, "Dream with me~"

"If so, it'd be a nightmare!" It was Ingrid who answered as she stuck out her tongue.

"Nightmare, of course, it's going to be a nightmare~" Little Rikka imitated Ingrid by sticking out her small pink tongue.

Nora, who created a pair of wings and was about to fly away, almost sounded like a bird with a damaged wing upon hearing this,but soon he recovered himself, and flew away.

"Treasure, are you alright?" Luan saw her eyes water as she looked at the entrance to the ruin.

"Yes, of course. Rikka is fine." She rubbed her eyes, trying to act strong. Ingrid took her in her arms and kissed her pretty face several times, comforting her.

Luan looks at this scene. While he thought this scene beautiful, it looked very sad. Deep down, he felt that Little Rikka knew that Ingrid was not her real mother. But, it seemed that by treating Ingrid like a mother, she had some emotional support, which Luan didn't mind if it stayed that way. Honestly, she was cute and very polite for her age. It wouldn't be bad to adopt her, as her real mother was almost her age these days.

The problem would be to explain that Ingrid's sister was called Monica... and she also had similarities. Honestly, it would be difficult to hide the truth, however, there was no way to explain it in an easy way. The best thing would be to see Little Rikka's reaction to seeing the current Monica.

After they left, it took hours of travel to reach the city.

"This town is so cold..." Little Rikka muttered as they arrived.

Ingrid took a coat from her storage ring and dressed Little Rikka. Because of the size, it looked like a dress. Little Rikka, on the other hand, laughed happily. "Too hot, really hot." She puts her hands on her cheek with her coat sleeve and made a cute smile.

Ingrid couldn't stand so much cuteness and hugged this cute creature and kissed her cheek several times. Little Rikka enjoyed the treats while laughing out loud, and Luan laughed along with them.

Soon, Luan made the floating cloud land near the gate. As always, many living beings of different kinds stared at them as if they were a source of money, but Luan's aura made them not approach out of fear.

After passing through the gate, it was clear as day that Little Rikka would be able to stay on earth. After a short break in the tower store, they descended the stairs.
