Chapter 789 “Disaster Befalls the Dragon Clan (3)”
The Dragon clan’s home of the human world lies in the Northern part of the great ocean where a huge mountain was submerged underwater and shielded by a spell matrix from the water. It’s not that the dragons as a race feared water, they’re perfected capable of living in the ocean; however, there are inconveniences that’s unavoidable in that case. As such, most members of the clan preferred to stay on dry land while resting.
Right now at this time within a dark damp cave, a very lovely and delicate looking young missy was currently being tied to a pillar, her cute big eyes showing stubbornness and anger against the taunting woman in front of herself.
“Little missy, I mean you no malice, but my family’s old man misses his granddaughter dearly. It was not easy to find her, and because of you she’s now gone…. You must take responsibility for that.”
Hanging her head in defiance, Dragony tightens her hands until it’s a ball: “Why are you tying me up then if you mean no ill will? Moreover, those people you sent are clearly coming with malice. I will not believe in your words. Also, you better release me, otherwise the queen won’t let you off when she finds me.”
Snickering at the threat, the woman hooks her finger around the missy’s chin to raise her face up: “Queen? You mean one of those queens from the mainland? A measly human queen can’t even be compared to a little sect from the human world, why would I fear such an entity? Little missy, you need to stop being so naïve.”
Among the demon race here in the human world, none would call themselves as king or queen, mainly out of tradition passed on from ages past.
Taken aback by the retort: “But both the queen and prince are very strong, they will definitely come and save me.”
Prince?
The woman’s grin grew even deeper, I knew it, she’s talking about some human.
To be fair, this wasn’t because the woman had an ignorant mindset, rather it’s the fact that the Demon Realm has been sealed for thousands of years. Considering her appearance, this lady was at best a few centuries old.
“Little missy, I don’t want to hurt you, but if you continue to be disobedient then I will have no choice but to kill you. Afterwards I will go find Long Dai Dai myself.” Taking out a dagger from her waist, the woman cracks a dangerous smirk as she grazed the surface of the girl’s neck.
Startled by this, Dragony herself was starting to fall into a panic. She’s not afraid of death, but if she dies… it would mean this evil woman would start looking for Long Dai Dai again with even more force than the first time.
After some thought, she bites her lip and spoke: “What do you want me to do?”
“Very simple, my old man has been yearning about his baby granddaughter for a long time now. Thankfully he’s never seen that blasted girl yet. So, I want you to impersonate her. As for the ceremony to test your lineage, I will have my own means to pass that.”
Beaming a dangerous light in those pupils, a strong regret takes hold within this one’s heart of not strangling her own niece at birth. Make no mistake, this evil woman was by every standard a dark one. She forged the baby’s death in the public’s eye and went through the trouble of tossing a helpless baby into the mountain range where many dangerous critters lived. What she didn’t expect though was Long Dai Dai surviving and even managed to get the attention of her old man, hence the reason why this filthy woman volunteered for the mission of retrieving Long Dai Dai. She intends to use this opportunity to finish off the mistake she left behind years ago.
Yet…. the hurdles and troubles just didn’t stop. Because of Dragony’s sudden appearance, the target was lost and now this evil woman was left with an unknown girl that came out of nowhere. Of course, this wasn’t all bad. It didn’t matter who it was that she brought back, she just needed someone that she could control.
“And if I help you, does that mean you will leave Dai Dai alone?” Dragony asks with a hint of doubt.
“That’s right,” the woman smiles, “I, Longyu, will never go back on my words. If you do as I demand and pretend to be Dai Dai then I won’t force that lass back into dragon clan.”
