Chapter 81 Devouring and Tolerating

……

Several days later, on the island in the middle of the lake.

In order to protect the Xuan Snake as it entered its molting period, Tang Yue brought Lü Cheng to her village and explained the totem-related matters to him in detail.

Originally, she did not intend to ask Lü Cheng for help, because the Xuan Snake in its molting period is very sensitive and will have strong hostility towards powerful people and creatures when they approach.

However, after what happened by the lake, and the strange attitude of the Black Serpent towards Lü Cheng, Tang Yue thought about it and decided to bring Lü Cheng over.

"Acheng, what did you say to everyone that day?" Tang Yue asked curiously.

Although she can make contact with the Black Serpent and communicate with it to some extent, she cannot communicate directly with it like a mind-based mage.

"It asked me what I was," Lü Cheng said.

Demons can sense his aura as a dragon, and so can totem beasts, but they need to be very close to detect it.

At that time, the Xuan Snake was actually attracted by the Parthenon soul in Ye Xinxia's body, but after it appeared, it discovered this strange existence.

Neither human nor dragon.

"What is it?" Tang Yue was taken aback.

"Could it be... that you're not human?"

To be honest, Lü Cheng was really strange. Back in Bo City, she felt that his aura was odd. Because she had been in contact with the Xuan Snake since she was a child, she was quite sensitive to certain special beings, so she was very curious about Lü Cheng.

When facing demons, she saw more than once that those slave-level demons would run away as soon as they saw Lü Cheng!

She used to think that the demons were afraid of the dragon inside Lü Cheng, but after seeing it many times, she changed her mind.

Powerful demons do indeed pose a certain degree of threat to weaker demons, but that only applies when the powerful demon actively releases its aura.

Lu Cheng's dragon is so powerful that even ordinary people don't feel any threat from it.

Therefore, what those demons feared was definitely not that dragon.

"What, scared?" Lu Cheng said.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Tang Yue smiled.

"Afraid you'll eat me?"

"I came here specifically to eat with you." Lu Cheng raised his right hand, and a dark purple mist surged forth.

As the black mist dissipated, Lü Cheng's original human arm transformed into a thick claw covered in black scales.

Tang Yue looked curious and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. "You're really not human, are you?"

This is no smokescreen!

it is true!

"What kind of claws are those?" Tang Yue asked, puzzled.

The scales of different demons are different. She often touched snake scales, and she also touched the dragon that Lu Cheng was fighting.

However, the scales that Lü Cheng was holding were the first time she had ever touched them, and the texture was very different.

"A dragon," Lu Cheng said.

"Dragon?" Tang Yue was taken aback.

"Could it be... that you are the legendary Little Dragon Man?"

"Where are your horns? Where is your tail? Are they hidden?"

As she spoke, Tang Yue curiously reached behind Lü Cheng.

"Stop!" Lu Cheng's eye twitched violently.

He thought Tang Yue wouldn't be afraid, after all, she had been in frequent contact with creatures like the Xuan Snake since she was a child. But what was with that look in her eyes, treating him like a novel animal?

Also, what are you doing with your hands?

What a scoundrel!

Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.

With the arrival of Lü Cheng and Tang Yue, the calm lake surface suddenly rippled, and clumps of dark blue mist appeared out of thin air, gradually condensing and finally transforming into a huge black figure.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

A chilling growl echoed from the bottom of the lake, and a huge snake head slowly rose from the bottom, moving towards the shore.

"Hey big guy, I brought him to see you." Tang Yue happily went over and gently stroked the black snake's head.

"Hello," Lü Cheng greeted him, raising his hand.

"Are you... a dragon?" the black serpent asked in confusion.

The scents are similar, but something feels off.

"More or less," Lü Cheng nodded.

"Are you... a fire dragon?" the black serpent asked.

"Hmm." Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and the fire element energy within his body surged. The black dragon scales gradually heated up and transformed into crimson scales.

"Red?" Tang Yue was taken aback.

"Your dragon scales can change color? You're not a chameleon, are you?"

Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly. "Can you please stop saying such low-class things?"

Demons are both abstract and concrete beings, and their forms are not fixed before they mature.

His case is rather special. He was not born a dragon normally. His body and soul did not transform into dragons at the same time. It was the change in his soul that led to the change in his body.

The color of his dragon scales is not fixed. Under normal circumstances, the dark energy in his body is dominant, so the color of his dragon scales is black. When he actively raises a certain elemental energy, the color of his dragon scales will change with the change of power attribute.

"So, your scales are actually... transparent?" Tang Yue asked with a strange expression.

"It's not transparent." Lü Cheng turned the dragon scales back to black.

Look closely.

Tang Yue leaned closer and focused her attention.

At first glance, it's black.

Even if you look closely, it's still black.

Even if it happens again, it still...

"Huh?" Tang Yue looked confused and couldn't help but rub her eyes.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

How come she saw several colors just now?

"this……"

"You didn't see wrong," Lu Cheng said.

"This is not black."

"What is that?" Tang Yue asked, puzzled.

Several colors are flashing around!

"It's darkness," Lü Cheng said.

Demons are yin, and the essence of demonic energy is darkness.

Darkness can devour everything, but it can also encompass everything.

He possesses the power of the Tiger Talisman, which allows him to maintain a stable presence even when different types of power enter his body. Other demons, on the other hand, will have their own demonic energy devour these different types of power if they absorb them, turning them into their own kind.

Dudu!

Just as Tang Yue was about to ask more questions, both of their phones rang at the same time.

"Feed?"

"..."

"absurd!!"

……

The Magic Association Building.

Upon receiving the news, Lü Cheng and Tang Yue quickly arrived.

A few days ago, the appearance of the Black Serpent was accompanied by two disfigured corpses corroded by poison. Moreover, within just a few days, an unknown infectious disease appeared on the shores of West Lake.

Therefore, Zhu Meng, who came from the Magic Court to deal with this matter, reasonably linked the culprit of this plague to the Xuan Snake and was pressuring the Lingyin Tribunal to hand over the Xuan Snake.

"I didn't come from the Magic Court to discuss this with you! Hand over the Sky Serpent immediately! Stop covering for it!"

Inside the conference hall, Zhu Meng was throwing a tantrum, arguing with local Hangzhou councilors and leaders of the trial committee.

"Hey! Are you arguing again?" Lu Cheng's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Zhu Meng's passionate exchange.

Hearing Lü Cheng's voice, Zhu Meng turned around. "Didn't I already say yesterday that there would be a meeting today? Why are you only arriving now?"

As an eyewitness to the appearance of the Sky Serpent, and having Lu Cheng control the riots it caused, his involvement greatly increased the credibility of the story.

"I forgot." Lü Cheng shrugged.

"If you hadn't called me, I would have completely forgotten."

As he spoke, Lü Cheng walked to the only remaining empty seat at the large round table and sat down.

Upon seeing this, the judges in the conference room all looked surprised.

They thought this empty seat was reserved for some important person. What... whose spoiled brat is this?

"You were involved in the Sky Serpent incident, so you have a responsibility to cooperate with this work!" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng had recently captured the Black Vatican in the capital, and it was even a blue-robed deacon. Now, the reaction to this guy in the capital's Inquisition and the Magic Court was mostly positive, so he had no choice but to adopt a more conciliatory attitude.

"Yes, yes, I'll cooperate. As a dignified honorary judge and honorary member of parliament, I just wiped out a hideout of the Black Vatican, and before I even had a chance to rest, I'm being bossed around by Grand Councilor Zhu Meng, without even overtime pay. What a life I'm living..."

After venting his frustrations, Lü Cheng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Where were we?"

Seeing Lü Cheng's relaxed demeanor, Zhu Meng really wanted to challenge him, but remembering his previous crushing defeat at the Magic Palace, he held back.

I can't win the argument!
