Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

He really dared to ask.

That courage... no less than Black Dragon's.

"Do you want to learn?"

"Uh-huh." The Young Dragon nodded vigorously.

"Well, the day you evolve into a Pure Blood Young Dragon, come find me at the Bright Holy Mountain. I'll teach you this skill to freely detach your own Dragon Horn...wait…to learn this skill, you first need to grow a Dragon Horn.

How about this, once you evolve into a Pure Blood Young Dragon, and have grown a Dragon Horn, then come find me at the Bright Holy Mountain. Then, I'll teach you these skills."

The Black Dragon Youngling hadn't even grown a Dragon Horn yet, but wanted to learn this skill—it was a bit hasty; it wouldn't hurt to wait until it had grown a Dragon Horn.

"Agreed?"

"Okay."

"Let's pinky promise!"

The Young Dragon flapped its wings to fly in front of the Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constandy, revealing its right Dragon Claw pinky to suggest a pinky promise with him.

It had learned this pinky promise from Evil Dragon Lance.

Pinky promise, hang tight, not changing for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy.

She still couldn't understand the meaning of that phrase.

"What does 'pinky promise' mean?"

Constandy didn't understand what the Young Dragon meant, but still mimicked the Young Dragon by extending his Dragon Claw pinky.

"It means to promise."

The Young Dragon summoned the courage and hooked Lanstandy's Dragon Claw pinky and began chanting, "Pinky promise, hang tight, not changing for a hundred years, whoever changes is a puppy."

???

A hundred years unchanging?

A contract for just a hundred years?

Isn't that a bit dismissive of him, the Holy Giant Dragon?

Even if he's old, living a few thousand more years, or even tens of thousands, wouldn't be a problem.

"The Dragon Ancestor thinks... a hundred years is too short... how about extending it to... a thousand years?"

A thousand years would be just right; by that time, the Black Dragon Youngling would still be a Young Dragon.

By that period, the Black Dragon Youngling should have grown a Dragon Horn, perfect for learning the skill to freely detach Dragon Horns.

"Oh, right, a hundred years is too short, a thousand years is more like it; let me say it again. Pinky promise, hang tight, a thousand years, whoever changes is a puppy."

The Young Dragon recited it again.

Constandy's eyes revealed a tender smile. This little one was interesting. If his daughter and Austin had children, he might even get to experience the joy of being a grandfather.

Regrettably... his good-for-nothing son-in-law had not yet managed to get his daughter pregnant...

"Isn't it a bit too easy for you to agree, Father?"

Austin was agitated to see the Young Dragon coax such a skill from his father-in-law; he hadn't even learned it himself.

No, to be precise, he hadn't had the chance to learn it yet. The Black Dragon Youngling had learned it first just through some sweet talking?

Was that fair?

That wasn't fair at all, right?

"Don't worry, when you have children, I'll teach this skill to your son too."

"....."

Was that what he was concerned about?

"Could you teach it to me first?"

"Do you want to learn?"

Golden Giant Dragon Austin nodded vigorously.

"Once you get my daughter pregnant, I'll teach it to you."

"...."

Golden Giant Dragon Austin bared his teeth—could he be blamed?

How difficult was it for Pure Blood Dragons to conceive with other Pure Blood Dragons; didn't his father-in-law know that?

Oddly enough, when Pure Blood Dragons mixed with other breeds, they could easily have offspring.

When Pure Blood Dragons mated with other Pure Blood Dragons, don't expect pregnancy without a couple of thousand years.

So strange.

Thunder Dragon Erinna also wanted to learn, but realizing she was a Thunder Giant Dragon bound by a contract with the War God Hall, she ultimately gave up.

She was an adult Thunder Giant Dragon; the Young Dragon hadn't yet come of age.

To speak up would only complicate matters for Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constandy...

Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, the Young Dragon hurriedly took out a string of candied fruit gourd from the Lucky Coin and handed it to Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constandy, "Ancestral Dragon... eat the candied fruit gourd... homemade, very tasty."

Constandy didn't stand on ceremony, naturally taking the candied gourd from the Young Dragon's hand and tossing it into his mouth.

For Sophia, the candied fruit gourd was rather large, but for him, a Sacred Golden Giant Dragon, it was not large at all.

It was even somewhat small.

Seeing Constandy accept his offering of the candied gourd, the Young Dragon stealthily turned his head and flashed the Evil Dragon Lance a [Y] gesture with his hand.

Once he learned the skill of freely disassembling Dragon Horns, he planned to teach it to the Evil Dragon.

If the Evil Dragon mastered this skill, with the sharpness of the Evil Dragon's horns, he might be able to pierce a hole right through the sky...

Heh, heh...

As cunning as she was.

The Evil Dragon would certainly praise her upon his return.

Sometimes a bit of shamelessness and sweet talk really did bring benefits.

The Young Dragon took out another string of candied gourd from the Lucky Coin and handed it to Sacred Golden Giant Dragon Constandy, then flapped his wings and flew back to Lance's side.

His objective had been achieved; now he just had to wait for his Dragon Horns to grow out.

The Evil Dragon had told him his horns wouldn't take long to sprout, so it probably really wouldn't be long.

He believed in Black Dragon.

"Black Dragon, are you friends with the human Lance from Saint Blue?"

"Our relationship is quite complex; it can't be simply described as just friends. Why? Do you want to teach Lance a lesson?"

"Ha, you might not believe this, but not long ago, I was deceived by that Lord Viscount from Saint Blue— the human Lance, that is— and it cost me... a Light Fruit."

"That guy claimed I had destroyed one of his Domains, but just before coming to Saint Blue, Austin and Erinna told me that human Lance possessed two Domains, marking him as a Domain Expert."

"I really thought I had destroyed one of his Domains last time we fought. I even felt guilty about it for quite a while and gave him a Light Fruit as compensation, but little did I know... he actually had developed two Domains."

"If I truly destroyed one of his Domains, then giving him a Light Fruit was nothing, but now I suspect... that Domain I destroyed that day... was actually a combat Domain capable of cyclically rebuilding itself."

"If what I suspect is true, what does that tell you? It tells you that Lord Viscount from Saint Blue... is still a Domain Expert with both Domains intact, and I was deceived by his cunning."

"Seen as we are both Dragons, I'd like you to tell me... were none of his Domains actually destroyed by me?"

Despite being a Sacred Giant Dragon, deducing from Austin and Erinna's words yielded an infuriating conclusion: the Domain Expert human Lance had deceived him with his superb acting.

It was infuriating to even think about!

As a Sacred Giant Dragon, he was first deceived by human Lance, later suppressed by Black Dragon using a secret technique, and even knocked from the sky to the ground twice by Black Dragon...

What Sacred Giant Dragon on Dragon Island... suffers setbacks twice in less than a year?

Although Black Dragon's vitality was drained, even Sophia's god-level Magic that restored original vitality had only recovered some of Black Dragon's lost strength, Black Dragon was still not back at his peak state.

It felt somewhat like bullying to challenge Black Dragon to another fight now.

But after being suppressed by Black Dragon, feeling that lingering resentment, he thought of human Lance.

This despicable, shameless human... seemed like a perfect target to vent his frustrations on.

Is a Domain Expert with two Domains impressive?

He, as a Sacred Golden Giant Dragon... also had his own Domain.

He hadn't even unfolded his own Domain in the fight against Black Dragon; had he done so at the start, Black Dragon wouldn't have had any chance to suppress him.

Not to mention knocking him from the sky to the ground twice.

This resentment and sense of humiliation... needed to be vented.

Human Lance was just the right target.

A sneaky, cunning Domain Expert... beating this human didn't count as bullying the weak.

"Sorry, I can't answer this question for you. By asking this... do you want another confrontation with Lance?"

"No, I simply want to see if I truly destroyed his Domain that time."

"..."

Lance didn't believe a word of it.

It seemed Constandy, the Sacred Golden Giant Dragon, was unwilling to even rest after ending their fight; now he was contemplating another battle...

"Then I suggest you go find Lance."
