Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 417 - 260: My Dragon Whelp Fears Death, She Doesn’t Have the Courage to Face It

Two tigers, two tigers.

Running fast, running fast.

One has no ears, one has no tail.

How strange! How strange!

The young dragon was reading the pinyin of the song "Two Tigers." At first, she stumbled, but as she slowly transitioned from reciting to chanting, something odd happened. As she chanted, two enormous tigers appeared in the living room.

The two tigers ran back and forth in the living room.

When the young dragon saw this, she stopped chanting, and the two tigers that appeared in the living room slowly dissipated.

The nursery rhymes and textbooks composed by the Evil Dragon were a bit eerie. If she immersed herself in them, the content of the texts would manifest and create illusions.

When in the Human World, reciting nursery rhymes certainly wouldn’t create such scenes.

Was it because the Demon Race’s text had supernatural power?

While she was the Imperial Princess, she heard that the text of some races naturally possessed supernatural power.

Those words, when written, would invoke supernatural forces.

For instance, "wind."

When this word is written by certain races, a gust of wind is produced.

And the same goes for words like "rain," "thunder and lightning," "ice and snow," and others.

Using text imbued with supernatural power to write these words would likewise produce extraordinary phenomena.

Could it be that the Demon Clan’s text is similar?

Does the text itself carry supernatural power?

The young dragon placed the book on the sofa and glanced towards the kitchen. Seeing that Lance wasn’t busy, she voiced her speculation, "Lance, does the Demon Race’s text have supernatural power?"

"As far as I know, only the texts of the extremely ancient Demon Script inherently possess supernatural power. The current Demon Script is just ordinary text that doesn’t hold such power. The illusions appearing while you chant the nursery rhymes are due to your deep immersion and your strong mental power.

During the chant, you envisioned a scene like that in your mind, which then materialized in reality. Don’t worry too much about it."

Strong mental power?

Could it be... that she had become the favored daughter of heaven from the Evil Dragon’s entertaining reads?

The young dragon laughed, feeling like if she didn’t become the Emperor as the favored daughter of heaven, then who would?

"Lance, do you think... I could be a legendary prodigy, just like some heroes in the entertaining reads?"

"You’re overthinking it. Some little demons with decent talents would also experience this if they’re fully focused. That is to say... your ability is on the same level as a demon elementary school student."

(〃＞皿＜)

Damn!

So her sixteen-year-old self has the same talent level as an Abyssal Demons elementary school student?

Doesn’t that mean... she would still be at the bottom among demons her age?

The previously self-satisfied young dragon deflated like a punctured ball, and lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The dragon’s mouth moved, mumbling something under her breath.

Lance, making boiled fish slices in the kitchen, turned his head to glance at the living room and saw the young dragon lying on the sofa like a salted fish, motionless, and felt the urge to laugh.

Was she struck by his words?

"Figured out how to leave here and return to your original timeline yet?"

"Nope."

"No? You don’t seem to be in much of a hurry to return to your original timeline. What’s the matter? No one or nothing in the original timeline worth your concern or missing?"

"In the future timeline, I’m stuck in the Abyss, and I was confined by Demon Princess Christine. You from the future, I don’t know when you’ll come to the Abyss to find me. If I go back too soon... and if you from the future aren’t in the Abyss yet...

I’d have to work for Demon Suman without pay. There’s no sense of security in going back. It might be better to stay here for a while longer.

When it’s time for me to leave, I’ll leave. Maybe by then, you will have found the Demon King City.

Hehe... then I can just go back to the Human World with you from the future."

The young dragon got up and lay down at the other end of the sofa, holding the Demon Language book, and shared her little scheme with Lance.

Why rush to leave?

Go back to toil away at a black job?

Better to stay here for a while longer and leave when it’s time. Maybe then, when she goes out, she’ll be able to see the Evil Dragon from the future.

If she were to borrow the words of the Evil Dragon... umm... how did he describe her current state of mind?

Ah, got it.

Let nature take its course.

Yeah, let nature take its course. No hurry. After all, there’s an Evil Dragon here, and being with a not-yet-adult Evil Dragon, she felt pretty secure.

"Good mindset."

"Just okay."

"Have you ever called the future me ’Dad’?"

"Nope, always Lance."

"Oh."

It seems like his future self is still waiting for the young dragon to change the way she addresses him.

No rush on this.

As a pureblood black dragon who knows how to live a good life, living for ten thousand years shouldn’t be a problem.

With time, as their affection as father and daughter falls into place, she’ll naturally start calling him "Dad" when it’s time.

"Clean up a bit; it’s almost time to eat."

"Okie dokie."

The young dragon quickly got up and went to the dining room to set the table.

There wasn’t much clutter on the dining table; a quick tidy-up was all it needed. She already smelled the fragrance of the "Boiled Fish Slices."

Indeed, food really does taste best when prepared by the Evil Dragon.

The colorful and aromatic "Boiled Fish Slices" were served by Lance on the dining table. At the sight of it, the young dragon couldn’t help but slurp, truly delectable.

"Did you wash your Dragon Claws?"

"Freshly washed, freshly washed."

"Go get the bowls and chopsticks ready for dinner."

"Alright."

The Young Dragon went to the kitchen, first serving a big bowl of rice for the Evil Dragon, then dishing up another big bowl of rice for himself. Carrying the rice, he cheerfully made his way to the kitchen. "Lance, I’ve put your rice on the dining table. You can come straight to the dining room to eat after washing your hands.

Wow, you also made a cold cucumber salad? Wait... how can there be cucumbers in The Abyss?"

"I grew them myself."

"???"

Just how much does he like farming? He doesn’t forget to clear and till the land even when seeking education in The Abyss.

"By the way, did the future me teach you how to farm?"

"He did, he did."

"If you’re not in a hurry to leave, I could arrange for a piece of land for you at the Demon Academy. I’ll give you some seeds, and you can plant the vegetables you like to eat."

The Young Dragon grinned. "I still prefer to eat ready-made food."

Lance, having washed his hands and arrived in the dining room, tapped the Young Dragon’s head lightly with his chopsticks. He hadn’t expected the dragon whelp he would raise in the future would be such a little lazybones.

"Why aren’t you eating?"

"I was waiting for you."

"Let’s eat then."

"Mmm-hmm."

The Young Dragon began to enjoy tonight’s dinner. The fish he had caught from the lake himself tasted so delicious.

"Delicious."

The Little Vampire Tigi, Demon Suman, Princess Christine, and the Great Vampire watching the Young Dragon eat on the Demon God Altar Square, all felt their mouths watering.

Even though there were members of the Demon Race in Black Forbidden City who could make Boiled Fish Slices, the flavour of their dish was different from the Boiled Fish Slices made by Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance.

They thought the Boiled Fish Slices made by Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance tasted better.

"Sister Wang, Princess Christine, if we catch Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, could we let him cook for us for a while before we punish him?

I want to eat the Spicy and Numbing Hot Pot he makes."

"The Mapo Tofu is also pretty tasty."

Demon Suman added, with rice, she could eat three big bowls.

Lance, watching the warm scene of his own dragon whelp and his younger self eating dinner, felt comforted, but also a twinge of sadness.

Why did the interactions between the dragon whelp and his younger self seem so harmonious?

The child understood that when he had used her as bait in the past, it was to train her swimming and breath-holding abilities.

When would this child be willing to leave the Eye of the Demon God?

What’s so interesting about ancient history?

His younger self wasn’t very interesting either – just reading all day, nothing but reading....

"Ladies of the Royal Family, are you just going to sit back and watch the Young Dragon do as it pleases in ancient history? Based on your conversation just now, some of the Young Dragon’s actions have impacted you.

Don’t you... plan to find a member of the Demon Race who can enter the Eye of the Demon God and bring that Young Dragon back?"

He was unable to enter the Eye of the Demon God himself, so he could only hope to use the powers of the Great Vampire and Christine.

"Once inside the Eye of the Demon God, one can only wait for the Eye itself to actively expel the entrant from ancient history. Other than that, there is one more way — for the creature inside ancient history to face [death].

Do you think the Amethyst Young Dragon has the courage to face [death]?"

"......."

His dragon whelp didn’t have that courage. If she did, would she still be content to stay in ancient history?

So that means... he can only wait here?

What exactly is the Eye of the Demon God?!

Surely it’s not the fabled eye capable of controlling time and space of a Demon God?

This thing has consciousness.

An eye with its own consciousness – no matter how one thinks about it, it’s bizarre.

He’ll continue to observe. If the Eye of the Demon God isn’t willing to release the Young Dragon, he might have to try to see if he could take this Eye of the Demon God away from The Abyss.

.......

In the Eye of the Demon God, the Young Dragon started clearing the land with a hoe.

The underage Lance found a wasteland for the Young Dragon in the Demon Academy and let him clear and farm the land.

He had said he would create a hoe for the Young Dragon, but turned out the Young Dragon already had one.

The quality of the hoe was also extremely good.

That saved some trouble.

The Young Dragon was either slumbering on the desk while auditing classes or Lance would simply let the Young Dragon do as it pleased.

So it went - audit a class, clear land for one, free activity time for another.

The Young Dragon never dreamed that he would have to clear land and farm upon coming to The Abyss.

Now, the Evil Dragon no longer needed to worry about her not knowing how to farm.

Her actions in clearing the land and farming caught the attention of many young demons. Some of the youngsters who did not know the relationship between her and Lance mistook her for someone’s Familiar.

The more mischievous among the demons would throw small stones at the Young Dragon. In those cases, she would promptly retaliate with the Thunder Hammer.

Hmph, she was a Princess after all, and had a temper.

Being bullied by the Royal Family of The Abyss was one thing, but she wouldn’t tolerate it from these students of the Demon Race who seemed no bigger than her.

She hadn’t learned much while staying near the Evil Dragon for nearly a year, but she had received plenty of supernatural items and potions for self-defense that the Evil Dragon had refined for her.

If she weren’t afraid of exposing the Evil Dragon’s identity, she would even consider using the Dragon Curse.

She wanted to show the Abyssal Demon Race that Young Dragons were not to be trificked with!
