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

Hey... there was a real possibility they could extract his soul...

The only perk of being friends with a demon was the thrill.

"Let's visit the Demon Academy, my treat. Now that you're all of age, you can enjoy some fine wine. We can also see if those four can dig up the Time Capsule they buried back then."

The Eye of the Demon God was something Lance wasn't planning on touching for the time being. He would wait until he left the abyss to see if there was a chance to take the nasty thing away and send it to the Radiant Divine Court Sacred Mountain.

The Demon Academy should still exist after more than two thousand years.

It would be interesting to see the Dragon Cuds' 'Young Dragons Vegetable Garden' operated in the ancient history.

Meredith, Christine, and Great Vampire Krastihela exchanged glances but did not object to Lance's proposal.

As long as Lance didn't leave the abyss for the moment, they didn't mind accompanying him to the Demon Academy.

They also didn't want to start a conflict with Lance just yet.

"Exactly, let's go to the Demon Academy. The young dragons and the Time Capsule we buried back then are there, just not sure if the 'Country Pleasure Garden' they built is still around."

The Dragon Cub seemed confused. Country Pleasure Garden?

It sounded familiar, but why was there no memory of a Country Pleasure Garden?

The Great Vampire and Christine had said that entering ancient history through the Eye of the Demon God made it impossible to retain memories.

Could it be that once they left ancient history, the memories of their time there would also be erased?

The little vampire, Tiji, little demon Bettina, little Fallen Angel Mavis, and Little Medusa Freya seemed to have taken a liking to her.

Goodness, all four of them were abyss princesses.

In the future, should she leave the Evil Dragon and return to the Phalan Empire to become the empress, if she couldn't defeat her stinky older sister Asina, she could completely summon these four little friends from the abyss to help her beat her stinky older sister...

Better not.

In case their identities were exposed, she might end up wanted by all major temples...

It would be safer to defeat Asina with her own power and become the Empress of the Phalan Empire.

"We're of age now too, Professor Lance... When you invite them for drinks, could you let us have a few as well?"

Little Medusa Freya thought of the white wine made by the Dragon Cub, which he let them drink on their coming of age, and then... the white wine he gifted them still remained.

Tiji had a tavern, but she didn't have that kind of white wine the Dragon Cub had given them in her tavern.

It seemed only Lance knew how to brew that kind of white wine.

"Sure, you're of age now, you can drink a little."

"Thank you, Professor Lance!"

The Dragon Cub was dragged away by her four little friends.

Lance, Meredith, Christine, and Krastihela were walking behind.

"Are the three of you afraid I'll run away?"

"It's good that you know."

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I leave the abyss."

"Is the Human World that much fun? Enough to keep you there for over two thousand years? What does the abyss lack compared to the Human World?"

"Each has its own advantages."

"Does the Human World have a romantic interest you like?"

Meredith moved closer to Lance and suddenly asked.

She knew Lance was single, which didn't rule out the possibility he had a romantic interest in the Human World.

"Why do you ask?"

"Do you interact with your romantic interest in your Black Magic Dragonfolk form, or in your current appearance?"

"That's my private life."

"Does your romantic interest despise your Black Magic Dragonfolk form?"

"..."

Lance didn't feel like chatting with Meredith at the moment.

Chatting... What was the point if everyone just talked about their own thing?

"Why aren't you talking?"

Lance glanced at Meredith; she seemed to care a lot about this.

Was it because she had despised him when he was in his Black Magic Dragonfolk form while interacting with her and was now hoping that other romantic interests would also reject his Black Magic Dragonfolk form?

To make it seem she wasn't so bad?

Was there a need for that?

Everyone has a desire to be loved for their looks.

Liking handsome and dashing while disliking ugly and sleazy is very normal.

"As a succubus, there's nothing wrong with liking beautiful things. You detesting my appearance because it doesn't fit your aesthetic is normal. Back then, I too wished you all would dislike me. If you liked me just because I looked good, that would have been a real hassle for me.

Fortunately, that never happened. Our relationship has always been very pure and simple."

"No, what I want to express is, I've already accepted the way you look as Black Magic Dragonfolk. Even if you revert to your original appearance now, I wouldn't disdain you.

So... Lance, don't go back to the Human World. Stay in the Abyss. Let's work together to bring back the Demon Emperor."

"I'm not interested in the throne of the Demon Emperor."

"What I mean is that I'll be the Demon Emperor, and you'll stand behind me as my supporting male."

"I don't have the time, I still have to raise the hatchlings, and soon I have to harvest. A pile of things are waiting for me to deal with, I don't have time to assist you."

"You're really stubborn, come on... compliment me a bit, and later I'll take off these purple stockings on my legs and give them to you."

"Please have some dignity. If you keep going like this, then I might change my mind and try to become the Demon Emperor. If I become the Demon Emperor, the first thing I'll do is set up a 'Vice Patrol Brigade' to catch all the succubi who dare to actively harass males."

"???"

Vice... Vice Patrol Brigade?

What does that mean?

The skin of succubi isn't yellow, right?

Lance always bursts out with some strange terminology from time to time, which really hasn't changed much from two thousand years ago.

The Demon Academy isn't far from the Demon God Altar Square, both located in the Demon King City.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the Demon Academy.

The Dragon Cub's four little friends arrived at the Demon Academy and dragged the Dragon Cub straight to the [Dragon Cub's Vegetable Garden].

"Where's the vegetable garden? Where did the big [Dragon Cub's Vegetable Garden] go? This... this… isn't this the predecessor of the Dragon Cub's Vegetable Garden?"

"Shoot, with such a big wasteland, how are we going to find the [Time Capsule]?"

"Don't worry, we start by reclaiming this land. I have hoes and axes here, have you all prepared as well?"

The Dragon Cub took out five hoes and five axes from the Lucky Coin, looking bewildered in her eyes.

Strange...

How could her response be... so natural?

And why does it feel so natural for her to take a hoe out of the Lucky Coin?

She's even a bit excited about having four princesses hoeing the land.

Could it be that in ancient history, she really had a good relationship with them?

This piece of wasteland in front of her also feels familiar. She recognizes some of the plants in the wasteland and even knows which fruits can be eaten and which cannot.

Which fruits will show signs of poisoning…

The Dragon Cub, holding a hoe, subconsciously walked towards the wasteland.

Entering the wasteland, she swapped the hoe in hand for a scythe and began to cut the weeds, clearing the path.

Bettina, Mavis, Freya, and Tiji saw this and got scythes from the Dragon Cub, joining her in clearing the weeds.

Lance casually waved at a section of the wasteland, and that area was instantly clean.

"Let's go, let's sit in that area for a bit and have a few drinks."

They reached the cleared area, and Lance took out tables and chairs from the Diamond Talisman, arranging them neatly. He also took out ten bottles of baijiu, a dish of sunflower seeds, a dish of peanuts, and two plates of beef from the Diamond Talisman.

These were snacks to accompany the drinks.

Drinking baijiu was best with some hot dishes.

Lance took out a barbecue grill, fruitwood charcoal, and some kebabs he had made a while ago.

Tying on an apron, he asked the three princesses if they wanted to experience what it's like to be a chef.

Meredith found it novel and wanted to try. Lance gave her a floral apron, then explained how to barbecue, and what to pay attention to while doing it.

"It doesn't sound difficult. Don't go anywhere. I'm still not quite understanding the motion of skewering. Come behind me and teach me hands-on."

"You shouldn't drink anymore."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll go on a drunken rampage."

A few flames dripped from Lance's fingertips onto the fruitwood charcoal, igniting it.

He placed the skewered meat on the grill and took out the barbecue sauce. Just as he was about to start brushing the skewers with sauce, the Diamond Talisman lit up; someone was contacting him.

Sensing for a moment, it was Death God Solomon reaching out to him.

The Grim Reaper's Scythe flew out from the Diamond Talisman, hovering in the air. Soon, Death God Solomon appeared on the light screen projection.

"Lance, if you're not busy, go reap a soul."
