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

The temper of a Thunder Giant Dragon is even more volatile than that of a Black Dragon, like, they just can't say things that hurt others, using a Divine Artifact to beat someone up... it's too impetuous.

It seems that after the incident where the Golden Giant Dragon Austin was beaten up, Thunder Dragon Erinna started to take her rivals a bit more seriously, whether it was him, the Human Viscount, or the "Evil Dragon" mentioned by the Young Dragon, she was probably prepared to give it her all.

On the day Golden Giant Dragon Austin and Erinna were chatting via projection, the Dragon Whelp was present and heard their conversation.

During casual chats these days, Erinna would occasionally bring up the topic of Golden Giant Dragon Austin getting beaten up with the Dragon Whelp.

As a result, the Dragon Whelp knew crystal clear about the "grudges" between the Golden Giant Dragon Austin and the wild Pureblood Black Dragon.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She was worried about the "Evil Dragon" attacking Thunder Dragon Erinna because Erinna herself told her that Austin suspected the wild Pureblood Black Dragon might attack her, the Thunder Giant Dragon.

If they knew she was a female Giant Dragon, they might also try to abduct her... to be a wife.

Thunder Dragon Erinna thought this was indeed a possibility; a wild Pureblood Black Dragon wandering in the Human World suddenly encountering a pureblood female Giant Dragon, it was quite normal to have such thoughts.

"I'm trying to liven up the atmosphere. Why are you even entertaining such thoughts? My little dragon is quite sentimental. I'm afraid she'll cry and wail after you leave..."

It's better to keep the atmosphere light and joyful when parting. You're leaving this time, will you come back?

"I will. There is the Dragon God Temple here, and as a Giant Dragon, I'll occasionally come and stay for a while," Thunder Dragon Erinna said with a smile. "Next time we meet, let's fight again, I'll give it my all..."

"Forget it, I'm getting on in years, I no longer have that competitive spirit, and I'm not interested in fighting with a Giant Dragon wielding a Divine Artifact..."

The Evil Dragon didn't mind sparring with a Thunder Giant Dragon armed with a Divine Artifact, but Human Viscount Lance didn't have the ambition; he was also afraid of the Divine Artifact's power affecting Saint Blue.

Once Erinna left, he'd find a deserted place and test... as the Evil Dragon to see if he could withstand the blow of a Divine Artifact.

After so many years, he wanted to see if his dragon's defensive capabilities had improved to the point where he could withstand a hit from a Divine Artifact.

Whether he could survive the encounter with legendary heroes or epic warriors wielding Divine Artifacts.

Ordinary heroes shouldn't be able to harm him, a Black Dragon, but he feared those legendary monsters capable of punching above their weight and defeating enemies much stronger than themselves.

After all, he had once witnessed a powerful Demon King being brutally beaten by an unremarkable human hero.

The Demon King got beaten up pretty badly.

It scared him quite a bit at the time.

Luckily back then, he was the invisible member of the hero party, quiet and reserved... silently contributing...

After the unremarkable hero's successful career, he swiftly withdrew...

The fact proved that when one was not strong enough, choosing to keep a low profile was indeed necessary.

Challenging heroes wielding Divine Artifacts as a Black Dragon to test one's strength could end up getting killed by the hero if things went wrong.

Challenging Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna, who might carry a Divine Artifact... was riskier, but within a controllable range.

As Pureblood Dragons, he didn't believe that Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna would strike to kill him.

Without any deep hatred between them, it was unlikely for Giant Dragons to fight to the death; even if they fought fiercely, they would ultimately spare each other's lives.

In his mind, that's how the relationship between Giant Dragons should be.

Whether Giant Dragons who saw red in battle would end up killing their own kind... he couldn't guarantee that.

Being told by Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna that he lacked wisdom, he wasn't really that angry; intercepting them halfway was just a way to gauge their strength.

To see if the gap in strength between Giant Dragons was truly as wide as it seemed.

After the battle with Golden Giant Dragon Austin, he confirmed one thing: Golden Giant Dragon Austin's strength wasn't as formidable as he had imagined...

Possibly because Austin, the Golden Giant Dragon, was relatively weak.

Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna was probably stronger than Golden Giant Dragon Austin...

After all, she's a Dragon that signed a contract with the War God Temple; her strength can't be too weak.

"Erinna sister, when do you plan to leave?"

"Tomorrow, I guess."

"Then when you come next time, I'll treat you to hotpot. In the meantime, I will try to make some money by running a stall. Lance treats me quite well. He gives me pocket money on a regular basis, and sometimes he even shares some of the profits he makes from the stall with me."

"Alright, I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts. I didn't expect to meet you in the Human World. Next time I come... I will bring gifts."

Lance took out a case of red wine from the Vajra Ring, walked up to Erinna, and handed it to her: "This is red wine I brewed myself. The taste is quite good. It's for you."

Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna's eyes twitched slightly: "Give me a different gift. Austin accepted your red wine and got beaten up badly by a wild Pureblood Black Dragon on the way. If I accept your red wine... I might meet the same fate as Austin."

"....."

Can that really be a reason to refuse a gift?

"Superstition is not good." But Lance still took back the gift box of red wine he had offered and replaced it with a beautifully packaged bottle of white liquor: "White liquor, stronger than red wine, suits you."

Erinna took the white liquor, looked at it, and saw it was indeed nice, "Why do you say white liquor suits me?"

"The alcohol content is higher. Getting drunk causes your blood to boil, making you fear nothing. To put it bluntly, it emboldens the cowardly dragon heart." Discover exclusive content at empire

"???"

Lance was struck by lightning; that's the price for mocking a Thunder Giant Dragon.
