Chapter 266: Demon of Ten Lifetimes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing Vigilante A’s questions, the golden koi leaped into the air and prepared itself to speak. However, it stopped itself and scanned the other animals in disdain.

It said in a toadyish manner, “Sir True Dragon, this is an internal matter of the Dragon Clan. Subservient races like these were only servants, let’s make them leave so they don’t hear us.”

The yellow and black dogs were dejected after hearing that. They drooped their ears and slowly backed away.

As the hounds that followed stronger clans, they understood the pride of the Dragon Clan. Only a number of clans of noble birth were qualified to talk to them as equals, for example, the Celestial Clan.

The others could only watch them from afar, never having a chance to talk to the noble clans. That was why the two dogs had immediately prostrated as soon as they saw Vigilante A and felt its true dragon aura.

They knew that hound clans like them had no chance of being a follower of the true dragons in the Upper Realm.

Even a guard of the Dragon Clan needed to have a hint of the true dragon bloodline and the power of a Lake-level!

As the saying goes, the guard of the prime minister was a?seventh-rank official.¹?It was normal for the koi to look down on other beings because plenty of important people had bowed to it before.

However, what Vigilante A said in the next moment had moved them.

“Not necessary. They have followed me for a long time, and their loyalty has been witnessed by the sun and the moon. They have been helping me with my cause without complaints. Their hearts align with mine, and they are my hands, my confidants, so how can I treat them as my servants? They are staying.”

His voice was unwavering and full of sincerity, unlike some ambitionists who would do the same thing to win people’s hearts.

The two dogs were teary-eyed. They were not normal dogs who would be easily tricked. They were sensitive to human behaviors and could tell another person’s sincerity just by listening to them.

When Fang Ning was saying those words, he was completely earnest.

He had always been a compassionate person, so much so that he had even developed Morality Shelter to protect his followers.

Because of that, saying something like that was as easy as plucking a flower to him.

The snowy white hamster turned around and stopped nibbling on the chestnut, its eyes filled with confusion.

A voice echoed in its mind.

“Cang Gongzi, why are you tearing up? Is it really that moving?” Bai Ruocang asked curiously.

Cang Gongzi shook its head. “You are born in this world where people practice equality, but it’s not the same in the Upper Realm. They believed might is right, and that is especially true for the Dragon Clan who stood at the pinnacle of that power chain. Even a mosquito would need to have the bloodline of a true dragon or other similarly noble bloodlines to enter. A dignified person like the Venerable One would treat me so nicely, how could I not be thankful and moved?”

Bai Ruocang nodded and said, “That’s true. Even normal citizens like me would be overexcited to be able to shake hands or take a picture with some VIP, some people would even think of that as the highlight of their lives. Looks like the Dragon Clan is comparable to those people in the Upper Realm, they must be like in the supreme tier of clans.”

Cang Gongzi replied, “Naturally. The Dragon Clan was rare and their status was much higher than you could imagine. The Celestial Clan is another noble clan, but only their leader was qualified to meet the true dragons. Even the great green insect, the leader’s daughter, was insulted by the Dragon Carp just now.”

Fang Ning was going to continue expounding his ideology when a system notification pinged in his mind.

[The Host has completed Obsession: One Heart and Mind and has triggered the Unique Heroic Achievement: Destiny Bond. The followers of the System will share their Health Bars with the System. When the System was injured, its followers will take a fraction of the damage until they are near-death. When the followers were injured, the System will lighten their injuries by sharing its Health Bar with them.]

The System exclaimed, “Hey, Rich Host, you’re amazing! With only two little sentences, you’ve activated such a cool ability for me.”

Fang Ning knew why the System would be excited, he triggered an ability that can directly raise his chances of survival!

There was a really good saying for that, ‘All abilities that add to the Health Bar are good abilities’.

The System could effectively chuck its followers into the Draconic Arcane Realm and go to battles with more health than usual.

Of course, their Health Bars could not possibly be compared to the System’s thirty thousand points, but it could still increase by a healthy amount.

The two dogs puffed up their chests and stood quietly. With good masters like that, they had no need to fear and could instead charge forward without worry…

Dragon Carp was stunned silent. Having stayed in the lotus pond for so long, it had only seen several true dragons, and all of them were proud beyond belief.

Even servants with a faint dragon bloodline like Dragon Carp was not seen as someone worthy, let alone the other random clans.

Immediately after, it realized something and became excited. ‘Wouldn’t that be better? As long as I start pulling my own weight and make him happy, I have a chance to really become a dragon and part of the official Dragon Clan and not just talk about being one.

‘This Venerable Dragon God has the purest true dragon aura that I’d ever met. If he continues to evolve, he might even be purer than Clan Leader’s and achieve the Dragon Realm sooner than the Clan Leader.

‘If I could become a follower of a true dragon who would treat his followers well, my future could be much brighter than being a follower of Clan Leader.’

The latter was more respected by the others, but it was, after all, still faking it. Its actual position was still low, otherwise, the great green insect would not have wanted to eat it.

Was it not because it did not have real power and position?

At this point, Fang Ning heard the System reminding him, “It just turned green, no, blue.”

Fang Ning was speechless. ‘That spineless fish. I heard Daqing said it was the Dragon Clan’s leader’s pet.

‘It’s okay though, it means the fish wouldn’t hide anything from me.’

As expected, Dragon Carp no longer hesitated and said, “Sir True Dragon, I’ll tell you everything. Clan Leader asked me to descend for two missions.

“The first mission was initially the hardest. Twenty years ago, as the representation of the Dragon Clan, the Third Son of Dragon Clan tried to gather all the clans to attempt allowing a Spiritual Sense to descend. Clan Leader asked me to find a host for it, but all of them had failed. Clan Leader did not carry much hope, but now that I’ve found you, that most difficult mission must have been achieved. Aside from a true dragon’s Spiritual Sense possessing a body, how else can a normal person develop a true dragon aura of such purity?”

Fang Ning nodded. The great green insect had talked enough earlier for him to mentally prepare, so he was not worried that he would blow his cover.

He was relieved. If that was the hardest mission, the second mission should not be too difficult.

He asked casually, “So what’s your second mission?”

Dragon Carp answered carefully, “The second one was much easier. Clan Leader asked me to notify other Descended Ones that another supervillain might be born on Earth and they should be more vigilant on protecting it from being destroyed. Building a planet from scratch would be troublesome.”

Vigilante A was expressionless.

Fang Ning, however, was shocked beyond belief. He had finally heard about a true dragon’s might. One needed dragon’s bloodline with a Lake-level power to be a simple guard, casually saying that they could destroy a planet, creating a new planet was only troublesome…

They were not only able to inhale mountains and rivers, they should be described as having an entire universe within their chests…

He asked calmly, “Where does the supervillain come from?”

Dragon Carp answered, “It was born of the Heliotrope Clan. It was a low-level demon, but it was born with talent, willpower, and wisdom. Too bad it fell in love with a human woman and tried to court her for ten lifetimes… However, the human world was corrupt, humans change, and it was cuckolded by the woman for every lifetime it went through, becoming a laughing stock of the Upper Realm. In its desperation and hopelessness, it abandoned its strong demonic body and reincarnated to be the first bunch of Whitestone people. It decided to create a truthful world where no one lies to each other, and everyone would be loyal to their friends and partners. To us, it had already become insane…”

Fang Ning was impressed but at the same time, was speechless at the tale.

He followed up almost immediately. “According to your explanation, the ones who had experienced misery like this can turn extreme could possibly want to destroy the world.”

Dragon Carp immediately groveled, “You’re really wise. That’s right. According to a few of the Sir True Dragons, the first time it was cheated on by the woman, it was so furious that it destroyed a piece of land. After several Sir True Dragons spent a huge amount of power to rebuild the land, they reprimanded it and it never did it again.

“The true dragons are responsible for the safety of the Upper Realm and had to take care of things like this. The Whitestone people were reincarnated from the body of the demon. If they were forced into a dead end, they might rebirth their ancestor and commit a crime again. The Lower Realm is brittle, it cannot endure such cataclysm.

“Clan Leader said that it was still too early for the descent of the true dragon. They would only do so when catastrophe strikes. However, now that an unstable factor like this had appeared, they should look for someone to inform the others so the Dragon Clan was cleared of any future troubles.

“I, Dragon Carp, am heavily influenced by the true dragons and have a protective heart toward the world, so I volunteered to accept this mission.”

Fang Ning could not find any place to pick on Dragon Carp. ‘This guy is a total opportunist but still tried to put itself on a moral pedestal. No wonder it was said to like boasting.’

He nodded and said, “If that’s the same, I shall keep an eye on these Whitestone people and prevent their ancestor from being reborn, it would be a disaster.”

Dragon Carp bootlicked again, “With your might, those low-level demons would definitely be intimidated as soon as they heard your name. They would totally be afraid to bring the Demon of Being Cuckolded back to life.”

Fang Ning shook his head. “Don’t get too cocky. No matter what, we should keep an eye on them. Since you really are from the Dragon Clan in Upper Realm, you can stay here for a while.”

The golden koi heard that and stayed quietly in the fish tank, no longer complaining about its size.

The great green insect flew about, indicating that it was still interested in taking a bite out of it.

“That’s enough, Daqing. This guy is still helpful, so don’t get any ideas.”

“Yes, Sir Great Green Dragon,” said the great green insect as it tried to fly away. It seemed to be flying toward Qi City instead of its home.

“Where are you going?” asked Fang Ning.

“I’m going to look for Chef Fang. He promised to make braised koi for me, but since I can’t eat Dragon Carp, I’m gonna have to settle for some?Yellow River Carp?²?.”

Fang Ning did not have anything to say. He underestimated the great green insect’s capability for eating. The mission of the Dragon Clan or the imminent danger of the human race was not important to it at all.
