Chapter 398: Chapter 249 My Dragon Whelp Seems Dull but Is Actually Wise Beyond Measure_2
The daily life of a Demon King must lack the refinement of their royal routines.
“I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to take you back to Demon City tonight, to complete the transaction between us.”
“It doesn’t matter, following you to meet other members of the royal family could be enlightening.”
“Certainly.”
Krastihela saw nothing amiss with this arrangement; living in the Land of Chaos and Disorder year-round meant conducting oneself in such a manner was expected.
If the Black Lotus Demon King insisted on a deal with her just because of a first meeting, now that would be peculiar.
...
“For now, follow me, and perhaps I will initiate a transaction with you.”
“What kind of transaction?”
“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
“I might not agree, so you’d better be prepared for me to refuse.”
A Demon King with a strong personality indeed.
Unfortunately, not Dragon Man Shia.
Tiji had seen Dragon Man Shia, and if he were Dragon Man Shia, Tiji would certainly recognize him.
Krastihela brought Lance to the villa where Su Man resided.
The Young Dragon was not in the Black Forbidden City, and she temporarily couldn’t go to Demon City, so she’d wait until nightfall and see if Christine left the Young Dragon in the Demon City, then she would have to make a trip there.
And bring the Black Lotus Demon King along with her.
If necessary, she could ask the Black Lotus Demon King to help her contend with Christine, the Demon Princess.
The Black Lotus was not weak in strength.
To her, the Amethyst Young Dragon wasn’t particularly important; if it didn’t recognize Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, she wouldn’t be concerned about a young dragon that had fallen from the Human World into The Abyss.
What she truly wanted to capture was Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
The other royal members who wanted to take the Young Dragon to their own cities also aimed to capture Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance through the Amethyst Young Dragon.
The value of Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance now far exceeded that of the past.
After all, he completely mastered the most powerful Forbidden Curses of several royal families in The Abyss.
Not destroying himself with the knowledge of several royal families’ Forbidden Curses was the real reason these old royals wanted to capture Lance.
Lance was not panicked; having confirmed news of the Dragon Whelp, he could take the Dragon Whelp away whenever he saw it.
It was also beneficial for the Dragon Whelp to get acquainted with these powerful figures of The Abyss in advance.
As a Giant Dragon, once she reached adulthood, she was destined to roam the world; meeting these formidable individuals early on would mean she wouldn’t be afraid when she saw them later and could interact with them with poise.
About twenty minutes later, Lance appeared in Demon Judge Su Man’s castle, following Krastihela.
A three-story grand castle, with a garden, a landscape, and even a bridge over a stream that housed variously colored Demon Fish.
The Dragon Whelp might find these colorful Demon Fish cute and may even tease the fish with its Dragon Claw or tail.
Little Vampire Tiji was feeding Demon Fish at the bridge head.
Seeing her younger sister, Krastihela approached the bridge with Lance, “Has Su Man not returned yet?”
“She only recently left for Demon City with the Young Dragon, it’s too soon for them to be back. If the Amethyst Young Dragon can return, the earliest would be this afternoon.”
Tiji threw a handful of feed into the river, her gaze landing on Lance, “Sister Wang, is this gentleman your follower? Or suitor?”
“Black Lotus, the Demon King from the Land of Chaos and Disorder.”
“My name is Tiji.”
Tiji smiled as she greeted Lance, who was more striking than Dragon Man Shia.
“Black Lotus.”
Lance wasn’t afraid of being recognized by Tiji, for in her eyes he appeared completely different.
His magic was akin to adding several filters over his appearance, making it impossible to see through him unless one’s power surpassed his.
Krastihela finally dispelled her doubts; if Tiji face-to-face said that Black Lotus was not Dragon Man Shia, then it confirmed that the Black Lotus Demon King indeed was not Dragon Man Shia.
However, Tiji’s words inadvertently revealed the current appearance of Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
Saying that Black Lotus was less attractive than Dragon Man Shia suggested that their appearances were somewhat similar.
This damned creature could indeed change his appearance—he once deceived them, claiming he might never find a wife in his lifetime, as no female would marry a demon of the Dragon Race with a dragon’s head.
“Sister Wang, I’ve got a funny story for you, about the Dragon Dolt… you know, the Amethyst Young Dragon. Yesterday afternoon, she thought those colorful Demon Fish were cute and started poking at them with her Dragon Claw while lying on the ground, and ended up getting bitten by one.”
Then, before enjoying dinner, she sneaked out behind Suman’s back and came here to fish with her own dragon tail as bait, catching quite a few Demon Fish. She then made fish soup and grilled some fish.”
Her cooking skills were great. Unaware of the situation, Suman was lured by the delicious aroma and had two full bowls of fish soup and ate half a grilled fish before she remembered to ask Dragon Dolt where she caught the fish…
When Dragon Dolt told Suman she caught them from here… Suman’s expression was priceless. Oh, and I also had some of the grilled fish made by Dragon Dolt.
It was indeed delicious.”
“Using your own dragon tail as bait is really not very smart.”
Lance glanced at the Great Vampire. How was using a dragon tail to fish for Demon Fish not smart?
A fishing rod might not be able to catch these Demon Fish, whereas using a dragon tail is almost a surefire way.
He would bet that in the entire Abyss, no member of the Demon Race knew how to bait fish for fishing better than Dragon Whelp.
Back on Black Dragon Island, he had once used Dragon Whelp on a fishing line for deep-sea fishing.
“Not smart, but fun, huh.”
“Why didn’t you follow Suman to Demon City?”
“Didn’t you ask me to wait for you here? Besides, before she left, Suman told me she would bring Dragon Whelp back.”

“You believe a demon’s words?”
“…”
That made sense, and he couldn’t refute it.
She might have actually been tricked by Demon Suman.
It didn’t matter anymore. She had been to Demon City and even played mahjong with Princess Christine.
“So are we going to Demon City now?”
“Let’s see in the afternoon.”
“If we go to Demon City, do we bring along Black Lotus Demon King?”
“Yes.”
By noon, Suman still hadn’t brought Dragon Whelp back.
Lance informed the Great Vampire and the Little Vampire, and they left Suman’s castle to find a restaurant on the street for lunch.
Initially, he wanted to get even on behalf of Dragon Whelp by turning all the Demon Fish from Suman’s small river into gourmet dishes but thought better of it as it might expose himself.
The Great Vampire and Little Vampire would probably go to Demon City.
Demon Princess Christine was a domineering figure; she wouldn’t let the Great Vampire take Dragon Whelp away. She still wanted to use Dragon Whelp to capture Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.
Through the conversations between Little Vampire Tigi and Great Vampire Krastihela, he found out one thing.
The fact that Dragon Man Shia was actually Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance had been guessed by several members of royal families in the Abyss.
He wondered if those old monsters knew as well, and if they did, it wouldn’t be good news for him.
He hoped all those old monsters had gone to Demon God’s Paradise.
Lunch was grilled meat and Big Plate Chicken.
As Lance had guessed, by a little after four in the afternoon, seeing that Suman hadn’t brought the Amethyst Young Dragon back to Black Forbidden City, the Great Vampire didn’t wait any longer and set off for Demon City with Tigi and Lance.
…..
Demon King City, within the Demon Palace where Princess Christine resided.
The Young Dragon, Suman, Demon Princess Christine, plus a not yet adult Little Demon, were sitting together, playing mahjong.
The underage Little Demon was the younger brother of Princess Christine.
He came here to play mahjong, originally aiming to win the Dragon Soul of the Amethyst Young Dragon, but as it turned out… he was nearly cleaned out of his Magic Gold.
The Young Dragon, winning and looking worried, had the look of ‘please don’t let me win anymore’ on her face.
Demon Princess Christine wanted to play mahjong, expecting a modest session… but who knew, her luck and card skills were absurdly good, always ending up with winning hands.
Up to now, it was a situation where she led by a mile.
She had won almost three hundred Magic Gold…
She didn’t dare to put the Magic Gold she won into her Lucky Coin, afraid of angering the Demon Princess and having her soul extracted…
On the wall behind Demon Princess Christine were many jars and bottles, and those containers were filled with souls…
