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

It was fortunate that his Dragon Nest was located in the Deep Sea, so his appearances in Human World in Black Dragon Form were rare, only becoming prominent due to the manifestation of Dragon Island.

Appearing high-profile in Saint Blue was initially meant to make contact with the Dragon Island Giant Dragon, but now it seemed that aside from contacting the Dragon Island Giant Dragon, he might also need to interact with members of the Ancient Temple.

Luckily, the members of the Ancient Temple weren't the decaying, undead types he had imagined.

"Actually, I don't necessarily have to sign a Dragon Knight Contract with Black Dragon, I could also sign a Pet Beast Contract with him."

Jessica knew that Lance had a good relationship with Black Dragon, and she was worried that Lance would relay the wrong message to Black Dragon, making him think she only wanted to sign a Dragon Knight Contract.

Signing a Pet Beast Contract with Black Dragon was also possible, even though Black Dragon was mature, she didn't mind keeping a mature and stable Giant Dragon as a pet.

"It's probably not going to work, Black Dragon doesn't like treating humans as pet beasts. If you want to be his pet beast, it might be a bit difficult. Of course, if you are willing to pay, maybe Black Dragon would reluctantly agree to keep you as a pet for a while."

"???"

Jessica, who was about to sip her red wine, paused and glared at Lance, "Do you have a problem with comprehension? Could it be possible that I want to keep Black Dragon as a pet?"

"You just said... members of the Ancient Temple and Exotic Race could ride each other? That made me think you want to be Black Dragon's pet."

"If Black Dragon could defeat me, I wouldn't mind being his pet beast."

"Now that you mention it, I am quite looking forward to your meeting with Black Dragon. Honestly, having known Black Dragon for so many years, I've never seen him keep a human, although I have seen him keep a princess."

Lance finished the tea in his cup, refilled it, and darkness fell as the Source Power Lamps lit up in the square.

Through the Source Power Lamps lighting up the night sky, one could see rain mixed with snow particles falling to the ground.

"It seems you and Black Dragon are on good terms. Before I meet Black Dragon, I need to confirm something with you. Have you... signed a contract with Black Dragon? "

"No, our relationship does not require a contract."

"Then if I sign a contract with Black Dragon, would you obstruct it?"

"No, we both respect each other's destiny and will not intervene in each other's desires. If you want to contact Black Dragon, go ahead without worrying about me."

Having learned the purpose of red-haired woman Jessica, Lance lost the desire to chat with her further as he was not interested in joining the Ancient Temple.

It was still better to take care of dragon cubs, watching them slowly grow up was interesting.

If the dragon cubs were in Saint Blue, they would likely be playing outside like the children in the square.

Whether the dragon cub could play with the young dragons from Dragon Island in the future was uncertain.

He still hoped that the dragon cub would have its own circle of friends, its own friends, or else without him, the dragon cub would have no friends and would be so lonely.

Thinking of this, Lance chuckled to himself, being a parent seemed to be endlessly worrisome.

Luckily, the dragon cubs were not yet interested in romance. In a few hundred or a thousand years, when the dragon cubs started thinking about romance, that was when.... things would become really worrisome.

He didn't oppose the dragon cubs having a romance, but... it should only happen after the dragon cub was mature or nearing maturity.

Having a romance too early was not good and made one easily deceived.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at myself."

Jessica stared at Lance for a while and believed him.

She could tell if Lance was lying with just one look.

"You are an unexpected surprise. Had I not discovered you, it would have been fine, but now that I've found such an interesting character, I naturally have to ask you...would you like to come and visit the Ancient Temple?"

"Forget it, I won't live much longer, I don't have any grand ambitions, and when I've had enough, played enough... it will be time to leave. I won't cling to this world, so... there's absolutely no need for you to pass my information to other members of the Ancient Temple."

Lance diplomatically declined Jessica's offer. The identity of Lord Saint Blue wouldn't last much longer in Human World.

There was no need to join the Ancient Temple, nor did he want to delve into the secrets of the Ancient Temple. There were so many secrets in the world, and it would be exhausting to investigate them all.

"Okay, the Ancient Temple respects your choice; don't think of the Ancient Temple as too domineering. The Ancient Temple won't force anyone to join.

If you change your mind one day, you can contact me, and then I'll assess whether you still qualify to join the Ancient Temple."

Lance nodded but did not refuse directly.

One should not cut off all paths.

"Well, goodbye, Lance. We'll meet again if it's meant to be."

Jessica got up, waved, and said goodbye to Lance.

Since Lance wasn't interested in making idle conversation, she saw no need to stay any longer. What needed to be said had been said, and lingering here served no purpose.

As he watched Jessica leave, Lance picked up his teacup and took a sip of the red tea.

Quite good.

Jessica left a good impression; she didn't carry an aggressive air about her. In conversation, she didn't behave superciliously or with a sense of superiority, though she did possess a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Overall, Jessica of the Ancient Temple wasn't bad at all.

That truly matched his expectation of the strong figures of the Human World.

Those who resorted to violence upon meeting were truly unhinged.

In his view, a mysterious entity like the Ancient Temple, equipped with resources and powerful figures, would not force him to join just because he was exceptional.

Nor would they rage in frustration simply because he refused.
