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

Chapter 260: Chapter 181: Lance? The First Pope of the Dragon God Temple?_2

If I had known that going to Golden City to apprehend Andre would lead to this mess, I would not have gone and let His Holiness send another Holy Knight….

“Enough about that, our [Sunset Red] senior dance group has a dance competition this morning and this afternoon, and as the leader and leading dancer of the [Sunset Red] dance group, I have to participate in today’s competition.”

The prizes this time are quite rich, a fine large iron pot, ten bags of potatoes, ten bags of cabbage, and thirty pounds of pork—I must lead the [Sunset Red] dance group to win the championship of this competition!”

“???”

Your Holiness… My Your Holiness… You are the Pontiff of the Valkyrie Temple, do you really need to be that excited, with sparks in your eyes, when talking about those prizes?

“Your Holiness… I have something to say… I don’t know if I should speak out.”

“Speak.”

“When you dance… could you possibly tone down your charm a bit? I’ve heard that in the city at the foot of the Sacred Mountain… quite a few aunties are fighting and getting jealous over you…”

“It’s not about my charm, it’s because I dance too well.”

“…”

Steven sighed; that was all he could do. It was no secret on the Sacred Mountain that His Holiness liked to go to the Human World to dance, play chess, and sit by the roadside chatting gossip with the old ladies and old men.

Sometimes, when the mood struck, he would even organize some of the outstanding unmarried Divine Position holders from the Sacred Mountain to go to that city for matchmaking.

“Your Holiness, about Lance…”

“Let nature take its course, don’t pay too much attention… By the way, a Dragon God Temple has suddenly appeared in our maritime domain and is said to have received the recognition of the Dragon God.

I have looked into it, and the kingdom where the Dragon God Temple is located is the neighbor of the Norton Kingdom, called the Red Maple Kingdom. You should be free recently; rest at the Sacred Mountain for a couple of days and then take Saint Orla to visit the Pope of the Dragon God Temple.”

When you meet the Pope of the Dragon God Temple, be humble. Even if the Dragon God Temple doesn’t have any strong Divine Position holders, you mustn’t neglect the proper etiquette.”

“Understood, I will inform Her Highness Orla about this matter later. And Your Holiness… about the warrant for Andre…”

“I have removed it from the mission list of the Valkyrie Temple.”

“Understood.”

Pope Victorio left; the competition this morning is at ten o’clock, and it’s getting late. He needed to hurry up, or he’d let down the members of the [Sunset Red] dance group.

Not long after Pope Victorio departed, Saintess Orla appeared in the pavilion.

She shared the results of her [Invoking God into Dreams] with Steven and also asked where His Holiness Pope Victorio had gone.

Steven told her that His Holiness had gone to the city at the foot of the Sacred Mountain to participate in a dance competition and passed on the missions that Victorio had entrusted to Saintess Orla.

One of them was to visit the Pope of the Dragon God Temple in the Red Maple Kingdom.

Saintess Orla nodded, signaling her understanding.

It was quite strange, though.

Shouldn’t the Dragon God Temple in the Human World have appeared in the Dragon Domain?

Why did it appear in the maritime domain?

A long, long time ago, the Dragon Domain was where the Dragon Clan lived, and even now… it seemed that Pureblood Dragons still existed there.

Lesser dragons and dragon beasts were even more numerous.

The frequency of Evil Dragons being sighted in the Dragon Domain… was much higher than in the other domains.

This question dared only to linger in his mind; he did not dare to voice it.

“Shall we go to the Red Maple Kingdom two days from now?”

“If Your Highness Orla has nothing else, then we will go to the Dragon God Temple in the Red Maple Kingdom in two days to visit the Pope.”

“I have nothing urgent on my end.”

“Alright, then we’ll go to the Red Maple Kingdom in two days.”

…….

February 10, Black Dragon Calendar, light snow.

The members of the Bronze Guild returned from Golden City and stayed in Saint Blue for a few days before leaving and heading back to the kingdom where the Bronze Guild was located.

When they left, Meredith, Louis, Bazel, and Dalton still had their turtle shells on them.

The purple crystal turtle shell on top of the Young Dragon Lucia’s head had disappeared on its own two days prior, and Meredith probably felt reassured enough to boldly return to the Bronze Guild.

Today is the first day of the new year.

The Young Dragon didn’t understand what the first day of the new year symbolized, but early this morning… the Evil Dragon sent her New Year’s money, wrapped in a red packet, which she quietly opened and peeked inside—twenty Holy Gold, so generous.

The maids and chefs at the Earl’s Mansion all received a red packet from the Evil Dragon.

The main door and side doors of the Earl’s Mansion were adorned with New Year’s couplets, and there were also some in the courtyard, and even on the windows with paper-cut decorations.

Outside in the courtyard, you could see the words “Happiness upon Departure” displayed prominently.

On Black Dragon Island, where the Giant Dragons lived… there were New Year’s couplets and also “Happiness upon Departure.”…

All were posted yesterday morning.

She helped with pasting the couplets, the Evil Dragon posted, and she stood at a distance, telling the Evil Dragon whether the couplet should be moved up, down, left, or right….

Even Er Gouzi’s doghouse had couplets pasted on it.

The couplets were written by the Evil Dragon himself.

In the Phalan Empire, there is no such custom of pasting couplets.

This morning, the Evil Dragon also prepared new clothes, new shoes, new hats for her, and even the socks were red….

The Evil Dragon also prepared a set of red clothes and red socks for himself….

Said it was festive and could bring good luck.

Speaking of which…. It seems that Saint Blue City also has the custom of pasting couplets. She asked Ingrid, who said before the Evil Dragon became the lord of Saint Blue, there was no such custom there.

Back then, they couldn’t even get enough to eat, let alone think about doing these things?

After the Evil Dragon became the lord of Saint Blue…. Only then did Saint Blue start pasting couplets, giving out New Year’s money to children, eating dumplings, and other customs.

Oh, there was also the custom of wearing fiery red clothes.

All these customs were brought by the Evil Dragon.

Ingrid also said…. In the entire Red Maple Kingdom, only their Saint Blue celebrated the New Year, gave out New Year’s money, and ate dumplings.

The most important thing is…. On the first day of the New Year at noon, the meal must be sumptuous… and there has to be candy, beverages, fruit wine….

The Evil Dragon said he would go to Saint Blue for lunch today, and return to Black Dragon Island for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.

After having the New Year’s Eve dinner, set off fireworks, and then if not feeling sleepy…. Call over Er Gouzi and Turtle to play mahjong.

Experiencing such customs for the first time, the Young Dragon found them quite novel and interesting, and more importantly, lively.

Breakfast was pork dumplings and vegetable dumplings, all handmade by the Evil Dragon himself.

After breakfast, while strolling around Saint Blue City, every household was brightly decorated, and the children on the streets…. all wore new clothes and new shoes.

Some kids wore cute tiger head hats while others wore dragon head hats on their heads.

Upon seeing her…. they would all run over to greet her, saying “Happy New Year, Little Dragon Highness,” “Happy New Year,” and “Wish you good fortune and to grow more beautiful in the new year” and the like.

Seeing some kids playing with firecrackers, she got a few to try out…. then had an accident…. a firecracker singed her Dragon Claw black….

The streets of Saint Blue City were so lively, and not even the light snow could stop the children and adults from their festive, happy mood…

Citizens who encountered her would warmly offer her candy.

The atmosphere in Saint Blue City was just too good.

Back in the Farolan Empire, once she became the emperor, she would also make the people of the Farolan Empire celebrate New Year and paste couplets every year.

Close to noon, the Evil Dragon was invited back to the Earl’s Mansion by Tixia and Leia.

They told the Evil Dragon…. The Saintess from the Valkyrie Temple and the Holy Knights had come to Saint Blue to visit the pope of the Dragon God Temple.

The Dragon God Temple was built by the Evil Dragon, and its first pope… was naturally the Evil Dragon.

This is what Tixia and Leia believed.

Even sister Thunder Dragon Erinna thought so, but the Evil Dragon himself had no such awareness…

He seemed utterly disinterested in the title of the first pope of the Dragon God Temple.

“Viscount, besides you, no one dares to be the first pope of the Dragon God Temple…. Why don’t you act as the pope of the Dragon God Temple temporarily… and entertain the Saintess from the Valkyrie Temple and the Holy Knights?

Of course, if you really don’t want to entertain the Saintess from the Valkyrie Temple and the knights, I can ask them to leave,” said Tixia.

Tixia did not want to force their Viscount, as for the Saintess and Holy Knights from the Valkyrie Temple… She could only apologize.

“Where are they now?”

“In the Dragon God Temple.”

“Forget it, I’ll take a trip to the Dragon God Temple.”

…

Inside the Dragon God Temple.@@novelbin@@

The Saintess Aurora of the Valkyrie Temple and Holy Knight Steven were somewhat distracted.

The lord of Saint Blue is named Lance.

Just now, the dragoness inside the Dragon God Temple told them, the first pope of the Dragon God Temple… is also named Lance…

Is it that Lance who said, “Your Valkyrie owes me money”?

Feeling anxious….
