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

```

"If you want to get out and stretch your legs, go ahead, but don't go to the deep sea. With your strength, I feel that even a Deep Sea Siren could take you down."

"Hehe... that's right, so, Lord Lance... you absolutely must live until I'm old and grey before you die, okay?"

```

Lance picked up a fishing rod to hit the Whale Mother, who, seeing this, spouted a stream of water and dove back into the sea to escape.

The Dragon Cub propped its chin with its dragon claw, finding the interaction between the Evil Dragon and the Whale Mother quite amusing.

Live to see me die of old age, huh...

If there are no surprises, not only does the Evil Dragon have to raise her, but he'll have to be there for her last moments...

Even if she tries very hard to live... she probably can't outlive the Evil Dragon.

The Evil Dragon could easily live for ten thousand years.

She'll be doing good to make it past three thousand years, even with all her might...

So... while alive, she should give as much Gold and treasure as possible to the Evil Dragon.

Keep at it, Lucia!

Strive to become the Emperor of the Phalan Empire sooner rather than later.

"Lance, when do I drink the Extraordinary Elixir that refines my bloodline?"

"Tomorrow."

"Make an extra batch."

"???"

The Dragon Cub grinned, thinking that drinking the bloodline-refining elixir might let her live a bit longer.

Lance put away the fishing rod and began to prepare the bloodline-refining elixir for the Dragon Cub.

For the next two days, he stayed on Black Dragon Island, brewing the bloodline-refining elixir.

After preparing a course of the bloodline-refining elixir, Lance took the Dragon Cub and left Black Dragon Island for the Nord Kingdom Capital.

The appearance of Dragon Island meant he needed to quickly retrieve the Gold Coins that belonged to Saint Blue from the hands of the Nightmare Evil Dragon, Koln, then go back to Saint Blue to wait for the Golden Giant Dragon Austin and the Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna.

Aside from those two, if Dragon Island finds out there's a Dragon God Temple in Saint Blue, the Dragon Island's Giants should also come to have a look.

He was eager to interact with the Dragons of the Dragon Island.

....

Nord Kingdom Capital.

The Dragon Cub squatted on the steps of a shop, watching the Evil Dragon use a turtle shell for divination, trying to locate the Nightmare Evil Dragon, Koln.

Is the Evil Dragon's divination really that powerful?

Can it really locate the Nightmare Evil Dragon, Koln?

If the Evil Dragon could actually divine Koln's location, then when she had time, could she ask the Evil Dragon to do a reading for her?

To divine whether she could become an Emperor.

Let's see first.

It seems the result has come out.

"Did you divine anything?"

"The first divination shows the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln is still in the capital; the second points to Koln being in the northeast of the capital, closer to the palace.

The third divination... shows... black..."

"Black?" the Dragon Cub asked in confusion, "What does 'black' mean?"

"Find a place related to the word 'black,' and we'll probably find the Nightmare Evil Dragon, Koln."

Lance put away the divination turtle shell and headed northeast, with the Dragon Cub trailing behind him like a little tail.

Related to the word 'black.'

Just call over the Evil Dragon whenever you see a sign or shop with the word 'black'...

There's candied hawthorn...

Let's buy some; the fruits on Black Dragon Island will be ripe soon. She'll have the Evil Dragon make her some fruit candied hawthorn.

Soon, they arrived at a commercial street to the northeast, where there wasn't a lot related to the word 'black', but it wasn't scarce either.

Lance didn't linger in places related to the word 'black'; he remembered the aura of the Nightmare Evil Dragon, Koln, and those places didn't have Koln's aura.

"Lance, Lance... stop, stop, look quickly! There's a black cat in this alleyway, and over there where the miscellaneous items are laid out, there's also a small sign that says [Black Cat Guild].

Shall we... go and have a look at this Black Cat Guild?"

The Dragon Cub grabbed the hem of Lance's clothes, pointing to the alleyway on the left, urging Lance to have a look.

Lance stepped back and saw, there really was a Black Cat Guild.

The moment he saw [Black Cat Guild], he instinctively felt... the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln was here.

"Let's go, let's check out this guild."

"Where should I hide if you and the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln start fighting?"

"Stand in the most conspicuous place, to make sure I can see you."

"Oh, oh, oh."

They walked towards the alley, and as soon as they entered, the scene before them changed—the Dragon Cub realized they were now in a slightly cold hall.

All around the hall, people were napping haphazardly, some sprawled on tables, others asleep on benches.

There was even one directly sleeping on the floor tiles.

Seeing such a strange place, the Dragon Cub instinctively hid behind Lance, clutching the hem of Lance's clothes with its dragon claws.

Lance looked back and thought, this Black Cat Guild... has something intriguing.

He scanned the chilly hall, and his eyes fell on the bar counter.

A black cat was lying there.

The moment he and the Dragon Cub appeared in the hall, the Black Cat opened its eyes and glanced at them; now it was yawning and stretching, "Strange humans, strange... Dragon Cub, to find the entrance to the Black Cat Guild during the day... what bounty task do you wish to post?"

The Black Cat spoke human language, occasionally licking its fur with its tongue.

Lance glanced at the Black Cat, then his gaze fell on a middle-aged man with grey hair below the counter.

This grey-haired middle-aged man was the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln.

"I wish to place a bounty on Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln, I wonder if your Black Cat Guild would dare to take it."

"Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln? Sorry... The Black Cat Guild currently doesn't have the strength for that, I suggest you go to the strongest guilds in the capital of the Nord Kingdom, they might take your bounty."

Lance smiled, walked toward the grey-haired middle-aged man below the counter. The man was feigning sleep on the table, a black greatsword placed upon it.

Coming up behind the grey-haired man, Lance patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, "Black Cat Guild is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln... isn't yet powerful enough to defeat all members of your guild.

At least, Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln can't defeat this aged middle-aged Sword Saint."

Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln, who was pretending to sleep on the table, yawned and turned to look at Lance. He had already noticed Lance.

Unexpectedly, his true self hidden in this inconspicuous human guild, was found by Lance.

Black Dragon Lance.

For now, let's call this guy that.

Somewhat curious as to how this guy found this place.

"I'm not a Sword Saint."

"Whether or not you're a Sword Saint isn't important, what's important is... you owe me money. I don't want to fall out with you, I'll give you one more chance, pay back what you owe... then continue being your Sword Saint, also don't worry about me exposing you.

If you persist in evading your debts, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"When have I ever owed you money? Young man, you've mistaken someone else for me."

Lance smiled, his left hand sparkled and a Teleportation Gate appeared out of thin air. While the grey-haired middle-aged man wasn't paying attention, he yanked the man from his chair and kicked him through the Teleportation Gate.

Then, Lance grabbed the Dragon Cub and entered the Teleportation Gate.

By the time the Black Cat on the bar counter realized something was wrong, the Teleportation Gate had already vanished into light and shadow.

Too fast.

...

Roar!

Just as the Dragon Cub stepped out of the Teleportation Gate, a furious roar sounded from above the sea.

She saw a grey-brown Giant Dragon in the sky struggling against countless tentacles.

Is this... the Black Sea?

The Domain of the Deep Sea Siren Squid Mother.

At this moment, the sea area above was filled with lightning and thunder, accompanied by a violent storm.

The sky was ominously dark, like night.

Countless tentacles stirred up towering waves, attacking the grey-brown Giant Dragon.

Tentacles wrapped around the grey-brown Giant Dragon, which the Giant Dragon tore off with its claws.

Soon after, more tentacles wrapped around the grey-brown Giant Dragon, pulling it towards the sea.

"Lance..."

The Dragon Cub noticed that Lance, who had been in human form, had now transformed back into his Black Dragon Form, hovering in the air with his cold golden vertical pupils coldly watching the grey-brown Giant Dragon about to be engulfed by the Deep Sea Siren.

"Black Dragon Lance, you actually conspire with the Deep Sea Monsters to confront your own kind!"

"Pay back the money."

"In your dreams!"

Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln was pulled into the deep sea by the tentacles of the Squid Mother. In the next moment, a flash of void light, and he reappeared above the deep sea."
