Bab 982: The 3 Emperors

"Master! I missed you!" 

Blue jumped onto Ning despite his current size. The dragon wrapped his serpentine body around Ning and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you too, buddy," Ning said. "I'm glad to see that you're grown so much in my absence."

"Yes, I continued training all the while you were missing," Blue said. His size changed as he became small until he was no bigger than a small snake. He wrapped around Ning's shoulder and stood there.

"I knew you would still be alive. I never doubted it for one second," he said. "When did you come back."

"It's been a few months," Ning said. "Sorry I came to get you so late."

"I don't care, master. As long as you are back, that's enough for me," Blue said. He started tearing up a little and Ning smiled when he saw that.

Ning patted his head a little and asked, "you are still going to keep calling me master, huh? Even though I broke our bonds before leaving," he said.
