Douluo Continent: The Time-Stopping Evil Dragon, They All Want to Tame Me

Chapter 24: You can't lose weight!

Saliva production triggered a wave of hunger.

Qian Renxue then realized that she hadn't eaten for more than a day.

The aroma of spices and unknown meat wafting into the room on the salty sea breeze made her feel as if a giant beast from the abyss had suddenly risen in her stomach, and the feeling of hunger was unusually strong.

Following the scent, she stepped out of the house for the first time.

The sun had already sunk below the horizon, but the fine, clean golden sand still radiated a warm glow.

The source of the fragrance is not far away.

"The flavor of stir-fried Sichuan peppercorns and salt is surprisingly wonderful?"

"Fried shrimp dipped in this sauce, paired with a barrel of rum, I can't even imagine how happy I would be."

"A golden-armored mantis shrimp king over 20,000 years old! Did an evil dragon really eat it for dinner?"

"So dragons eat soul beasts! I always thought they ate people, it scared me to death!"

The pirates stood outside the beach that Ao Xing had designated as "Dragon Square," whispering among themselves.

The King of Golden-Armored Mantis Shrimp, over 20,000 years old!

A soul beast of such cultivation level would require at least a Soul Saint to take action, along with several powerful Soul Emperors, to kill.

But the evil dragon took it as food!

Several Soul King pirates in their fifties felt a pang of regret, recalling how the evil dragon had just asked if anyone needed a sixth Soul Ring.

My soul power isn't enough.

"Hmph, nothing to regret. A dragon wouldn't be so kind-hearted; it might be up to some wicked scheme. Ah—" A Soul King pirate with a forlorn look in his eyes pouted. As he looked again at the dragon cooking the King of Mantis Shrimp, a burst of dragon fire shot towards him.

The next second, he turned into a fireball and rolled on the spot.

"Ha, since you know the evil dragon isn't kind-hearted, why do you still gossip about me behind my back?" Ao Xing sneered, "Laughable ant."

Before long, the Soul King was burned to ashes.

The remaining pirates fell silent instantly, too terrified to utter a word.

The Purple Pearl Pirate Crew had more than two hundred Soul Masters, but in just one day, a third of them were slaughtered by the evil dragon!

At this moment, everyone is on edge!

Many pirates looked at their captain, Purple Pearl, with sorrowful expressions, hoping that she could help them break free from the dragon's enslavement.

They knew that the leader came from the mysterious holy land of the Sea Soul Masters.

Over the years, it was her methods and insights that helped the pirate crew grow stronger.

The commander should have a solution, right?

They were disappointed.

The once competitive Purple Pearl now stood timidly in place, appearing extremely petite and frail.

Her body was even trembling inexplicably!

Is this still the infamous female pirate captain in this sea area?

She was no different from any ordinary, weak woman!

Although the evil dragon is powerful, Purple Pearl Island was once their territory. Could the evil dragon Ao Xing be more familiar with this area than they are?

Even if there's no chance of killing the dragon, you can still find a way to escape and make a comeback in a new sea!

However, Purple Pearl looked as if she had lost her soul, showing no intention of resisting.

"Hmph," Qian Renxue saw Ao Xing casually kill a pirate, but did not show any disgust.

As the inheritor of the Angelic Martial Soul, she has never had any goodwill towards those who do evil in the world.

Pirates, bandits at sea.

Even though the Purple Pearl Pirates often helped the poor under Purple Pearl's leadership, which of these bandits hadn't done some heinous things?

Qian Renxue's true character is not saintly at all; in fact, she is extremely decisive in killing.

The reason she hummed slightly just now was because she felt that the dragon's method of killing the pirate by "roasting" him was somewhat inhumane and that he should have been killed instantly.

Although Ao Xing is an evil dragon.

"I'm hungry." Qian Renxue calmly walked behind Ao Xing.

"Wait a little longer. You have to control the heat when cooking. You can't roast it like a person with a strong flame." Ao Xing didn't seem surprised. Instead, he gently breathed dragon flames at the mantis shrimp king on the thin stone slab.

Under his treatment, the king mantis shrimp, which was originally golden in color, gradually turned orange-red on its shell.

As various seasonings were sprinkled on, the aroma became even more enticing!

Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with surprise.

Can dragons cook?

Who would have thought!

Shouldn't such a creature eat raw meat and drink blood, and enjoy devouring its prey alive?

Qian Renxue looked on curiously, her beautiful eyes like clear pool water, lively and alert, as if she were thinking about something.

The pirates on the periphery were all stunned and stood there.

Is this the princess that the evil dragon stole?

So beautiful!

Golden hair, phoenix eyes, fair skin, tall and elegant, with an otherworldly aura.

Even the most beautiful woman in the nearby seas, their captain Purple Pearl, paled in comparison!

There are still such stunningly beautiful people in this world!

In an instant, many pirates who were planning to escape from Purple Pearl Island lost all hope.

What's wrong with being a slave to a dragon if I can just catch a few more glimpses of the blonde goddess?

The pirates killed by the dragon today were all killed because of their foul mouths and insults to the dragon!

Otherwise, how could it possibly turn into roasted "Hujian" dried human flesh?

Although this evil dragon commits all sorts of atrocities, it does not eat people but rather cooked food, clearly indicating that it is an enlightened dragon, unlike those soul beasts that eat raw meat.

As long as the tasks assigned by it are completed on time, there should be no danger to one's life.

Moreover, when the evil dragon asked them if anyone needed a sixth spirit ring, it was clear that he intended to give the spirit ring of the 20,000-year-old mantis shrimp king that was being cooked to someone who needed it.

For a time, the lust-obsessed pirates began to find reasons to stay.

"It's said that pairing human eyes with alcohol makes for a great late-night snack."

Suddenly, the evil dragon's sinister voice rang out.

The pirates who had been staring at Qian Renxue with drool dripping from their mouths instantly snapped to their senses.

They immediately shifted their gaze, either staring at the beach at their feet or looking towards the sea.

Ao Xing, on the other hand, extended his dragon claws and gently scratched the shell of the King of Mantis Shrimp with his sharp, crystalline nails.

The next second, the head, tail, and claws of the king mantis shrimp were separated, and the plump, tender meat sizzled with oil and smelled delicious.

The pirates all stared wide-eyed.

Mantis shrimp's claws are not as strong as those of crabs or lobsters, but its segmented shell is one of the hardest in the world, second only to turtles!

The dragon sliced ​​it in half with surprising ease.

Just how powerful is it?!

Why does it feel like even a Title Douluo-level powerhouse can't pose a threat to it?

"Eat up!" Ao Xing sprinkled some more salt and pepper and chili powder on top, then cut a plump piece of mantis shrimp meat into strips, placed it on a section of the shrimp shell, and handed it to Qian Renxue.

"There's too much, and I need cutlery." Qian Renxue frowned, somewhat resistant.

"Trust me, you can finish it."

"Eat more, gain some weight."

"I'm already so slim, I can't lose any more weight."
