Crossing the true dragon realm, and you call me Little Locke?

The outcome of the subsequent battle was no longer in doubt.

Although traumatized by the near-death experience of being suffocated by the black dragon, Shuoyang was hesitant to engage in close combat with the plague insects.

But thanks to Balloon Cat's healing, his spell slots were fully restored and his elemental energy was completely replenished.

It only took two super-powerful breaths to empty the elemental reserves.

They burned the black dragon's wings, smashed its head, and ended its life.

Then, with the help of Balloon Cat, Shuoyang opened his claws and went into close combat, wiping out Theodore and the others in no time.

After clearing away the beginning and the end, Shuoyang found the dimensional bags containing the treasure and hid them under his scales.

Then, they used a Poké Ball to collect the black dragon's corpse.

It then transformed into an owl and slipped out of the dragon's nest.

He didn't dare provoke the earth spirits stationed at the foot of the mountain.

After all, unlike the bandit-like gnolls, these goblins are a well-equipped professional army.

Shuoyang even saw the Dragonfall Crossbow, which the Red Dragon used to defend against other Red Dragons, in their camp.

If he gets hit by that thing, it's no joke.

So, thinking he should stop while he was ahead, he quietly flew back.

Back at the half-elf camp, he saw Kura playing with the half-elf children.

Shuoyang blew a sigh of displeasure, stirring up a strong wind.

Kura, who was basking in the children's praise and getting a little carried away, spun around and blew straight to the sky.

"Crack!"

Kura was so dizzy from the wind that it barely managed to regain its balance.

Holding his large head, he looked closely and saw that it was Shuoyang.

It immediately darted under Violet's wing before cautiously poking its head out, sticking out its tongue and making faces at Shuoyang.

"Tch," Shuoyang said dismissively, raising his beard in disdain.

He retorted angrily, "You don't know what's good for you, you don't appreciate kindness."

"Just like your master."

Hearing his veiled insults, Violet turned her face away guiltily.

At the moment when Kurapika evolved because of her and flew out to find the evil dragon.

Violet finally regretted it.

She was afraid of losing Kura. She realized that she was not without attachments. She finally saw the harm that her extreme obsession was to those who were close to and loved her.

Therefore, facing the strange and unpredictable nature of Shuoyang.

Although she remained incorrigible and eager to know the whereabouts of those evil dragons and find out whether they had escaped or not.

But in the end, she kept those questions to herself.

He asked somewhat awkwardly, "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Shuoyang's eyes widened in disbelief.

He looked at Violet, his mouth slightly open, his beard swaying in the wind.

After a long pause, he asked seriously, "Has your brain been damaged by the venom?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly be injured?"

As he spoke, he took all seven dimensional bags containing treasure from under his scales and placed them on the ground.

He raised his head somewhat guiltily, "I killed that black dragon too."

"This is the red dragon's treasure. I'll take three bags, and you can each take two bags, one for each dragon. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Violet rolled her eyes.

Then, upon hearing that Black Dragon had also died, her spirits immediately lifted.

Seeing the treasure on the ground, she finally couldn't resist.

He asked eagerly, "Where's the blue dragon?"

Seeing her revert to her old ways, Shuoyang replied irritably, "Of course she ran away!"

"She had a teleportation conch shell, but it had already run away by the time I got there."

"Oh," Violet said with some regret, but didn't say anything more.

This made Shuoyang glance at her slightly. Could it be that this silly girl has really changed her ways?

Elliott, on the other hand, was overjoyed and put away his two bags of treasure.

He opened one of the dimensional bags and peeked inside.

I was immediately dazzled by the golden light and started imagining how to decorate my dragon's nest.

Seeing his pathetic state.

Shuoyang was somewhat annoyed by his son's lack of ambition, so he reminded him, "Don't be too happy too soon."

"That old man Theodore still hasn't settled our final payment!"

"Now that he's gone, we still have to go to his house to collect debts. It's such a hassle."

"Duke Theodore is dead!?"

Elliott was startled by this and quickly asked, "How did he die?"

"Was he killed by the black dragon? Or did he fall to the claws of the white dragon in battle?"

"There's no Bai Long," Shuo Yang replied calmly, his eyes darkening. "I killed him."

He slightly embellished his story, saying, "He listened to Black Dragon's instigation and wanted to take all our spoils for himself."

"So they joined forces with the Black Dragon to try and kill me."

"I killed them both, along with the black dragon."

"..." Elliott was completely stunned after hearing this.

As Shuoyang's younger brother, he naturally knew what kind of person his elder brother was.

Therefore, he only believed half of what Shuoyang said.

The reality is that Shuoyang not only killed the other party, but also went to the other party's house to demand a commission.

For Elliot, whose humanity outweighs his dragon nature, isn't this a bit too much of an evil dragon?

As a benevolent dragon who leans towards human characteristics, he found it somewhat difficult to accept.

So he carefully chose his words and cautiously suggested, "Agripa, perhaps we should just forget about it!"

"This war cost him the majority of his family's manpower."

"His family must be in a very difficult situation, so let's not make things difficult for them."

"No!"

He had barely finished speaking when his words were immediately rejected.

But the voice of rejection did not come from Shuoyang, but from Violet.

She learned that all the people she had painstakingly saved had been killed by Shuoyang.

However, his face remained calm, and his heart showed no emotion whatsoever.

Regardless of the reason, Theodore and his group had joined forces with the evil dragon, which Violet could not tolerate.

Therefore, for the sake of justice, Theodore and his comrades must pay the price.

Violet showed no pity; she said coldly, "Elliot, don't be weak."

"He is a duke, and his family is also a great noble family."

"They enjoyed the Duke's power and wealth without restraint in the past, and now they must pay the price for the Duke's betrayal and depravity."

"Not to mention, this payment was agreed upon in advance and is our due reward."

"Don't let your momentary weakness break this fairest rule."

Elliott was rendered speechless by her retort.

Shuoyang, however, felt a surge of secret pleasure as he looked at Violet's righteous indignation.

Because Violet is usually the one arguing with him.

It forced him to rack his brains to figure out how to argue his way out and how to cheat.

Now that Violet has finally become his own mouth double, Shuoyang naturally finds it quite novel.

He stood to the side, suppressing a wicked grin, pondering how to trick his younger brother.

So that he'll learn his lesson and stop having such a thick filter of human perception.

Just as he was plotting something wicked, the half-elf elder Stoneheart suddenly found him.

They pulled him aside and said, "Great Dragon, we have a humble request."

"I would like to ask you to help persuade Ms. Violet to stay here, build her nest, and rule this territory."

"In return, we will compensate you with an ancient weapon used by dragons."

Upon hearing his words, Shuoyang was slightly taken aback.

It's not uncommon in this world for mortals of goodwill to request benevolent dragons to build their nests near their communities.

Because there are just too many dangers in this world.

Bandits, goblins, orcs, undead, all sorts of ferocious beasts and magical monsters, and even evil dragons.

Most ordinary villages and towns are like isolated islands trapped in the wilderness, rarely receiving protection from the powerful.

And a benevolent dragon who hates evil, regularly cleans up monsters in its territory, and doesn't collect much tax.

For most mortals, he would be a fairly good lord.

Therefore, Shi Xin and his companions were moved by Violet's bravery and fearlessness.

They wanted her to establish her nest near them, thus forming a mutually beneficial alliance of protection.

The problem is, Violet is a bronze dragon, and a rather unusual one at that.

Therefore, Shuoyang looked at Shixin with a puzzled expression.

He asked seriously, "Are you sure she's a bronze dragon?"

"We know," Stone Heart nodded.

He replied, "We know that bronze dragons prefer to nest on the coast."

"That's why we'd like to ask you to persuade Ms. Violet."

"That's not what I meant," Shuoyang shook his paw.

He began listing Violet's faults, "I mean!"

"Can you really accept a guy who likes to drive around and roar in the middle of the night, and likes to change the weather for no reason, just to dance in lightning and storms?"

"Then, in order to kill a pack of dire wolves and hunt a deer eagle."

"Would it be a bronze dragon that directly ignites the entire forest with lightning, or smashes cliffs, triggering landslides and mudslides?"

After hearing this, cold sweat slid down Shi Xin's forehead.

Shuoyang added, "What I just mentioned are her daily essentials."

Shi Xin immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Shuoyang's words were not unfounded; Violet really did have many quirks.

Some of her bad habits were left over from her past ways of venting stress, while others were things she specifically learned and cultivated to commemorate Alvin.

Violet would even transform into human form to seduce married mortals.

They used Alvin's name, claiming it was to help Alvin fulfill his "vow" to "rescue" ten thousand beautiful women.

Heaven knows how a legendary paladin like Alvin could be so unserious.

These brothers and sisters in Shuoyang have all been led astray by that old man to varying degrees.

They all had some strange bad habits.

In contrast, Shuoyang, a human reincarnated as a dragon, is actually the most normal dragon among his brothers and sisters.

So, seeing that Shi Xin was considering quitting, Shuo Yang wanted to stay away from his group of eccentric siblings.

He immediately pressed his advantage, persuading Shi Xin, "Let me introduce you to a golden dragon!"

"She's my friend, a perfectly normal Shanlong."

"We're currently looking for a nest and kin. If you'd like, I can help you contact her."
