Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 366 - 83 - No One Knows Backup Better Than Me
Chapter 366 -83: No One Knows Backup Better Than Me
Although Long Long was by her side cracking jokes and comforting her, Little Fox remained on tenterhooks for a long time.
It wasn’t until Long Long began to grumble, what exactly does the Azure Dragon Clan want to do? Leaving us two hanging here, ignoring us completely…
They can’t seriously be planning to breed, can they!
Not until the high ranks of the Azure Dragon Clan argued from day to night, finally reaching a decision, did a pair of young Azure Dragon siblings come to visit.
Both were sixteen or seventeen years old, the brother handsome and scholarly, the sister pretty and lively, with the manners of nobility—casual yet not lacking in decorum.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting,” the brother started off by introducing, “I am Qin Zhou.”
“I am Qin Ye,” the sister added.
“The elders sent us to attend to you,” Qin Zhou said with a smile, “If you need anything, feel free to ask us directly.”
As always, Long Hu hid behind Long Long, too timid to come out.

Long Long, on the other hand, was straightforward and performed a polite bow, saying,
“I am Long Long, and she is Long Hu. Pleased to meet you.”
“Are you two siblings?” Qin Ye asked curiously.
“Not really,” Long Long said with a smile.
Seeing him dodge the question, the siblings immediately understood and smoothly changed the subject:
“We never had playmates within the clan, so we’re fortunate to meet the two of you now. We should get together more from now on.”
“No playmates?” Long Long expressed surprise, “You two don’t seem unwelcome in the clan…”
“Indeed,” Qin Zhou said with a wry smile, “Even within the same dragon kind, there are differences in Bloodline Rank.”
“My brother and I, we are direct descendants of the Ancestral Azure Dragon.” Unlike her somewhat reticent brother, Qin Ye had no guile and spoke frankly, “Other members of the Dragon Clan have to address us ‘young master’ or ‘young miss’. They treat you like ancestors rather than friends, making it impossible to get along!”
Hearing this, Long Long soon understood.
The path of cultivation for the Human Race emphasizes the “Foundation of Cultivation.” Only with a sufficiently high Golden Core Grade Rank can one form a higher-quality Nascent Soul. With a high Nascent Soul Rank, one can then undergo Feather Transformation and ascend to a higher Realm upon Ascension.
The reason lies in the inherently weak innate potential of humans; all their cultivation is acquired rather than innate, which is why they emphasize the “Foundation of Cultivation.”
The Demon Race, however, differs from the Human Race: a significant portion of their Cultivation Level is derived from their innate bloodline.
Within the Demon Race, there are high-level Demons as well as low-level ones, with the Dragon Clan Bloodline undoubtedly superior to the Serpent Clan’s.
Even within the same race, there are distinctions among individuals, as in the Jiaolong Clan that is graded into five categories: Water Viper, Jiaolong, Chi Dragons, Qiu Dragons, and Ying Long, who are different Cultivation Realm individuals of the same race.
Their bloodlines continue to be refined and ascended in Rank as they climb in Cultivation Realm, and the offspring naturally inherit the Bloodline Rank. Therefore, the descendants of Ying Long and those of the Water Viper, although belonging to the same Jiaolong species, have vastly different Bloodline Ranks.
Qin Zhou and Qin Ye, the siblings, did not appear to have fully transformed but also appeared to have used the Transformation Secret Technique of the Dragon Clan, with a Cultivation Rank similar to Long Long and Long Hu.
That is to say, they must be the strongest in Bloodline Rank among the descendants of the Ancestral Azure Dragon, which is why the Azure Dragon Clan arranged for them to form good relationships—after all, the bloodlines of Long Long and Long Hu are inherited from that Immortal Rank Ying Long in the Demon Locking Tower, they can’t possibly be weak!
With similar Cultivation Realms and Bloodline Ranks, the clear signal the Azure Dragon Clan intended to send was obvious:
Go on, young dragons, form deep bonds with each other!
Reassured that the Azure Dragon Clan bore no malice, Long Long relaxed a lot and started to have leisure chats with Qin Zhou and Qin Ye.
They were eager to make acquaintances, and the others did not refuse, so naturally, a close relationship developed quickly.
Even the timid little fox, who had been hiding behind Long Long, gradually came out, but she never said a word.
As the night deepened, the Azure Dragon siblings bid their farewells and left.
No sooner had they left than the little fox plopped down onto the bed, letting out a long sigh of relief.
“They’re finally gone,” she huffed discontentedly, “Long Long, what do you think the Azure Dragon Clan’s intentions are for bringing us here?”
“Probably to get us to join them,” Long Long replied.
“Join them?” It took Long Hu some time to realize that the Azure Dragon Clan was interested in her own Dragon Clan bloodline.
Truth be told, she had almost forgotten she had Dragon Clan bloodline.
“So…” Long Hu cautiously asked, “are we going to accept?”
“Why not?” Long Long looked at her, puzzled, “Do you know how beneficial it is to have the backing of a clan or sect?”
Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan were protected by their master, and, as such, were doing exceedingly well within their sect; Ling Yunpo and Wei Dongliu did not have such a patron, and thus spent most of their time scrounging for various resources and opportunities.
Therefore, Long Long could say with confidence that no one understood the importance of backing better than he did, no one!
“Backing, huh?” the little fox mused.
Although she hadn’t learned the hard way like Ling Yunpo and Wei Dongliu, she instinctively understood the concept of “backing”.
…Indeed, I can always turn to Long Long when in doubt, but even Long Long has problems he can’t solve.
If we join the Azure Dragon Clan, at least he can have an easier time…
“Alright then,” Long Hu put on an indifferent expression, “so we’re not going to Beiming Fanyang, right?”
“No, of course, we’re still going,” Long Long said with a smile, “The Azure Dragons don’t have the secret technique to resolve the bloodline conflict in your body.”
“So, we have to keep it a secret?” Long Hu suddenly understood.
“Of course,” Long Long said solemnly, “The Azure Dragons will inevitably deal with the Jiaolong Clan, so all we need to do is develop well within the Azure Dragon Clan and then look for opportunities to get in touch with the Jiaolong Clan.”
This strategy was all too familiar to him; that’s exactly how Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan had made their rise.
“Develop?” Long Hu mulled over the word, “Alright, I understand.”
“Oh right,” she suddenly recalled another matter, “That person called Qin Zhou asked if we were siblings, what should we say to that?”
“What do you think is best to say?” Long Long asked her in return.
Really, it didn’t matter what he said, for he had played the roles of senior brother, junior brother, and even master…he could easily take on any persona.
The key was the little fox – what kind of relationship did she hope for?
Otherwise, his flawless acting would be pointless if Long Hu gave them away in an instant.
Long Hu blankly blinked, seemingly struck by a thought, and her cheeks suddenly turned a shade redder:
“Otherwise…” she whispered in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, “lets just say we’re childhood sweethearts who grew up together…”
