Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Shirataki nodded without comment.

"I heard that your ultimate form is Hela, known as the Goddess of Death?"

"I dare not claim to be a god in front of you. If I can just run errands and do odd jobs for you like the Black and White Impermanence, I will be satisfied, Sun."

"..."

Gan!

Is she a little too sensible?

Chapter 234 You will be crowned king in the underworld

Xia Mi's attitude is shocking.

Not only Shirataki, but even the mixed-bloods nearby looked at the Dragon King who disguised himself as a girl with astonishment.

If it hadn't happened right before my eyes, who would have believed it? How could the King of Earth and Mountains, one of the Four Dragon Kings, actually stoop so low?

Logically speaking, even the most ordinary half-bloods would have more backbone than her, right?

"Humph!"

"You know nothing!"

Feeling the fiery gazes coming from all around, Xia Mi's face showed no trace of shame at all.

Instead, he held his head high and chest out, showing an extremely proud look at first - then lowered his head and looked submissive, recreating the image of a well-behaved lackey just now.

"Children of poor families have to grow up early."

As the weakest of the eight Dragon Kings, Xia Mi could only draw with the next generation Dragon King in a one-on-one fight. She knew that her greatest mission in life was to find a thigh thick enough to ensure her safety for the rest of her life.

——Don’t ask her why she doesn’t start her own business.

Attila the Hun was the closest to success for her, but also the furthest away from it.

When the other Dragon Kings joined forces against her, she had already understood that no Dragon King would ever be able to rule the world again.

"Four forces, eight dragon kings."

"Even though they dislike each other."

"But once one of them becomes exceptionally powerful, the other three pairs of Dragon King twins will choose to join forces and nip any potential dangers in the bud."

This is also the reason why Xia Mi chose to give up directly.

Since there is no way to succeed no matter what, I might as well just lie down.

In reality, she could have stayed like this forever—what difference did the secret party and the orthodox forces make? She no longer had the dignity of a Dragon King, and she had become accustomed to running away when she couldn't win, then starting a new life in a new city.

But, unfortunately.

The news that the Black Emperor is coming back became a huge rock that broke the calmness of the pond.

Xia Mi doesn't want to die.

But if the Black Emperor returns, she will definitely be the one who dies the most miserably.

——The White King, who betrayed the Black Emperor, was tied to a bronze pillar by him and frozen for six epochs. He then threw her into an underwater volcano, completely turning her into ashes.

What about Xia Mi, the one who came up with the idea and actively instigated the other Dragon Kings to betray the Black Emperor? What will be her fate?

Xia Mi didn't know.

She just knew that she wanted to live, at all costs.

"what should I do?"

Looking up at the dragon of light in the sky, Xia Mi asked sincerely.

She is a smart person.

So, the smartest thing to do is:

Don't think about it, just ask. We do whatever the boss says, and we eat whatever the boss gives us.

Shirataki nodded slightly and fixed his gaze on the obsidian giant in front of him, which was shrouded in black and gray mist.

"The King of Bronze and Fire, his reputation is well-deserved."

He praised the King of Bronze and Fire, and praised this supreme masterpiece created by the King of Bronze and Fire.

——The Alchemy Colossus, which has the potential to [evolve], displays a value in knowledge that can be defined by its combat effectiveness.

But at the same time, his praise was actually a question to Xia Mi.

"I have seen the limits of the Bronze and Fire Kings."

"What about you, King of the Earth and Mountains? Where are your limits?"

He wanted Xia Mi, or rather [Jörmungandr], to show off his talent - at least to the same level as this obsidian giant, right?

however……

"I, I, I can work three jobs in one day!"

Xia Mi thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally said the only thing she could do now.

"If it were summer vacation, I could probably work five jobs..."

"The hourly wage is $8 an hour, which is... $144 a day!"

The little girl counted on her fingers very seriously.

At this moment, the half-bloods staying in the fortress wondered if this king of earth and mountains, who was theoretically supposed to be extremely cruel, was performing some kind of illusion or playing some tricks to deceive people - how could she be so cute?

But Shirataki looked at her with a meaningful look.

Is Xia Mi cute like this?

maybe.

But only truly intelligent people know what she wants to express through these words.

"I'm cheap, I'm easy to feed."

"As long as they can pay me 144 cents a day, they will drive me to do anything."

——And this is the limit of this [King of the Earth and Mountains].

She has no "limits".

Strength has its limits, but wisdom has no limits. How much she can do depends entirely on how much Shirataki is willing to pay.

Shirataki is also very generous.

"If this can be accomplished, even if the Black Emperor truly revives, he will be unable to do anything to you."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Bai Taki turned around again and looked at the obsidian giant in front of him, whose whole body was surrounded by death.

"Isn't the best example right before your eyes?"

……

Xia Mi was stunned.

She also looked at the obsidian giant whose entire body was covered with the breath of the dead and could no longer be considered a [thing of the living world].

At this moment, she already knew Shirataki's true intention.

[You will be crowned king in the underworld.]

Death, Hela.

This is the bargaining chip that Shirataki can provide for her.

But, as a price.

【The boundaries between Yin and Yang cannot be crossed.】

She will be the king of the underworld, but only the king of the underworld.

The power of the Yang world cannot interfere with her, and similarly, she can no longer continue to interfere with the Yang world.

——In this way, even if the Black Emperor is really resurrected, he will not be able to harm her anymore.

"Goo-"

"You're going to make us work 24 hours a day, all year round!"

Xia Mi looked bitter.

But maybe... she didn't really have a choice.

[Hela, the Goddess of Death], this is the script that fate had already drawn for her - and it is also the one with the best ending among those scripts she could choose.

"Alright alright."

"But what am I supposed to do? I don't want to devour my brother."

Xia Mi raised her head and looked at the white dragon in the sky.

At this moment, there was a blazing golden flame burning in her eyes.

——That is the flame that symbolizes [desire].

Chapter 235 Xia Mi: I have nothing missing now

Xia Mi looked at Bai Taki, her burning golden eyes filled with greed and desire.

——To put it bluntly, she looked like a pervert who had been in prison for ten years and suddenly saw a tall female model.

She rubbed her hands together excitedly, muttering something like "Great!" She paced back and forth on the ground, as if wondering how she should approach the goddess of her dreams.

Is it more reserved? Or more rude? Or is it more of a playful approach?

She was a little hesitant and couldn't make up her mind.

Or maybe she was actually waiting for Shirataki to give her some advice?

"Stop pretending like that."

"We're all dragons who've lived for who knows how many years. Why are you pretending to be innocent?"

The dragon of light in the sky shook its head and landed on the ground.

"Rumble--"

The Obsidian Giant, who had been waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw, realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity - it immediately attacked Shirataki, who was only a hundred meters away from it.

The hard fist, filled with the breath of death, slammed heavily into the scales of the light dragon.

But the one who groaned, took dozens of steps back, and fell to the ground with a thud was the obsidian giant who took the initiative to attack.

"Pity."

"Although it is perfect, it is ultimately just an alchemical creation."

If this was a real "life", then the moment it saw Shirataki, it should have known that "escape" was its best option at the moment.

However, when Bai Taki turned his head, he looked at Xia Mi, who was willing to do anything to "survive".

"..."

Forget it.

This alchemical creation is actually quite good.

……

What Shirataki gave Xia Mi was very simple.

From the outside, it looked like just a drop of blood with a golden glow.

But this drop of blood is definitely not simple.
