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

No, this wasn't an illusion.

At that moment, in Lance's eyes, she had indeed become a delectable prey!

Lance's gaze and aura underwent a drastic transformation.

Previously, Lance seemed to her like a powerful rabbit.

Strong, gentle, harmless, occasionally teasing, showing his teeth at most.

Now, Lance was no longer that gentle, harmless rabbit; he seemed like a predator standing at the top of the food chain.

Looking down, scrutinizing, unabashedly sizing up the prey before him.

His aggressively domineering gaze made her feel as if her clothes were being stripped off one by one.

Desire!

The flames in his eyes, were they flames of desire?!

Damn it, even the breath he exhaled was much hotter than before.

Succubus Princess Meredith suddenly became panicked because she noticed that Lance's left hand had somehow found its way to her waist.

The temperature of his left palm was terrifyingly high; even through her clothes, she felt as if the skin on her waist was being scorched.

"What are you afraid of?" his deep, magnetic voice, laced with a hint of dominance, sounded next to Meredith's ear.

"I...I am not afraid," Meredith instinctively replied.

"Then continue to please me, conquer me with your abilities."

"You... something's wrong with you, you're not Lance! Who are you?!"

Meredith sharply sensed that there was a malicious presence in Lance's gaze.

It made him appear even more domineering.

Lance didn't speak. At that moment, his left hand, which was encircling Meredith's waist, was slowly tightening, pulling her closer into his embrace.

His face slowly inched closer to Meredith's, his golden-red vertical pupils filled with desire, fixating on Meredith's eyes and her translucent lips.

The environment around the two of them was constantly changing.

At one moment it was blue skies and a meadow filled with exotic flowers and herbs.

Another moment found them atop soft clouds in the sky.

Then, it was a calm and endless sea.

Meredith realized the rapidly changing surroundings and was frightened by it.

This wasn't her doing; it was Lance!

Randomly altering the environment around them, what… what did he want to do?

At that moment, Lance's gaze towards her was filled with hunger, possessiveness, and brutish lust.

"Who are you, really?!"

"Lance."

"No, you're not Lance, Lance wouldn't be like this."

Disgust flashed through Lance's golden-red vertical pupils; he withdrew his left hand that was wrapped around Meredith's waist, and his right hand, which was holding Meredith's hands, also loosened.

His head, which was almost touching Meredith's lips... also withdrew.

The intense heat, his dominance, and that pure streak of malice began to slowly dissipate.

The vehement desire in his golden-red pupils dissipated in an instant.

The continuously changing environment around them stopped, and they were standing in the Demon God Altar Square.

Meredith was just barely able to tolerate him releasing his desires slightly.

If he were to unleash his desires without reservation… Meredith feared she might succumb to his lustful desires,

or potentially be destroyed by them.

The lustful desires of a Pureblood Black Dragon…

Even a Succubus Princess might not be able to endure it.

"Next time you wish to conquer me, don't hold back so much, and don't waste words. If you're not prepared for this, behave normally around me in the future and don't try to test me. Sometimes… trying can be deadly."

The Succubus entices the powerful, desiring their Origin Essence Blood.

His Origin Essence Blood... the Succubus couldn't endure.

Meredith, now free, breathed a sigh of relief as the oppressive feeling disappeared.

This guy...

If she hadn't prattled just now, would this guy really have dared to pin her down?

After more than two thousand years, why has he changed so much?

Two thousand years ago, no matter how she bewitched him, he remained indifferent, sometimes even mocking him.

Two thousand years later, how dare he respond to her so unbridledly?

"You've changed."

"You should say I've grown up. You haven't changed much, still the disgrace of the Succubus, giving you a chance to conquer me, yet you couldn't seize it."

"You damn bastard, you looked at me with nothing but lust!"

"Your look at me was also full of lust, have I ever been afraid?"

"You!" Meredith angrily pointed a finger at Lance, quickly adjusting her demeanor. A stiff smile appeared on her face, "I know you've never been afraid, but have you ever looked forward to it?"

"No, who would look forward to a snotty little girl? Oh, maybe a pervert would, too bad I'm not one. In a sense, my values are quite upright."

The elders of the six great royal families were still nearby, peering over at them.

Disrespectful elders, during that moment he "exposed his true nature," these old guys didn't come over to stop him, just stood there watching him and Meredith.

One old fool even changed positions to get a better view, wanting to see if he would really kiss Meredith.

Seeing that he didn't kiss Meredith's lips, his face showed a look of regret.

"Meredith is the queen that all the young and powerful in the abyss yearn to conquer, you just had the chance to conquer her yet you chose to give up, Lance... I hope you won't regret this."

"I don't need to conquer someone to prove my strength, nor do I have the desire to conquer anyone. I have no ambition; I just want to live quietly."

Standing across from Lance, Meredith laughed upon hearing his words, her arms crossed, "No ambition? Just want to live quietly?

If you hadn't appeared in the abyss and defeated the seasoned strongmen of the six royal families, you truly might have had the chance to live quietly.

Not anymore, your previous defeats of the seasoned strongmen from the six royal families have been projected across the skies of every major crown city in the abyss...

It's probably not just the crown cities. The projection of you defeating them might also appear over other cities in the abyss, your emergence... has disrupted the balance of the abyss.

Your solo defeat of the seasoned strongmen from the six royal families being broadcast has already stirred many young warriors in the abyss, even driving some to action, wanting to follow you... to establish their accomplishments.

Demon Emperor.

It's been a long time since the abyss has seen a demon as powerful as you, your emergence has provided those young warriors a chance to be recorded in the history books of the abyss.

And that's not just in the major crown cities and towns, if your battle with the six seasoned strongmen were also projected onto the Land of Chaos and Disorder, there would likely be numerous abyssal warriors spontaneously gathering by your side.

Lance... you've also spent a long time in the abyss, don't you really understand what it means to easily defeat the seasoned strongmen of the major royal families?"

Wanting a peaceful life?

That's not going to happen anymore.

He broke the abyss's balance, igniting the war for the position of the Demon Emperor.

Even if Lance had no intention, the major royal families of the abyss would seize the opportunity to agitate, starting to pave the way for their carefully groomed rulers.

The war for the position of the Demon Emperor, was now set into motion by Lance.

But currently, it hasn't grown large enough to alarm the entire abyss.

No, to be precise, it already has alarmed the entire abyss.

That projection.

"Projection? What projection? Why am I unaware of any projection?"

Lance was stunned. Had he known about the projection, he definitely wouldn't have shown himself in such a remarkable light.

Which bastard did this to him?

He had no intention of vying for the position of the Demon Emperor.

Who was the bastard that caused this?

The elders of the six great royal families?

Probably not, they didn't have such projection equipment, nor the capability.

Not the six great royal families, nor the royal daughters at the Demon God Altar Square.

Then who was it?

Lance's gaze fell on the Eye of the Demon God.

Could it be... the Eye of the Demon God?

Was it the Eye of the Demon God, this bad thing, that did this to him?!
