My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 671: Chapter 180: You Can’t Just Scheme Against a Dragon Like That (Please Subscribe)

The Dragon Lord thought as much, his heart involuntarily bestowing great importance on the Dragon Lord’s Envoy before him.

“That member of the Human Race is about to let this Demon Beast stay and follow me, which apparently is just a superficial proposition. Behind it, there’s likely a desire to secretly monitor my thoughts,” he mused.

It was evident that even though he had just refused that member of the Human Race, and that person, outwardly, seemed indifferent, it was impossible for them not to care at all.

“After all, I am the Dragon Lord…” @@novelbin@@

As the Dragon Lord pondered, he then turned to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy with a smile and began to speak slowly,

“Since that’s the case, you might as well follow me. If there’s anything I can do for you, rest assured I will do it.”

...

That was what the Dragon Lord said to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

After speaking, the Dragon Lord’s gaze fixed tightly on the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, observing every nuance of the envoy’s facial expression.

Seeing that there was not the slightest change in the expression of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy upon hearing his words, a sense of unaccountable disappointment blossomed in his heart.

But the fierce and terrifying dragon face did not reveal much of an emotional change.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy looked at the Dragon Lord with numb eyes, for it was already petrified by fear.

Even though its sanity was no longer intact, and it should not feel fear, the body’s instincts made it tremble involuntarily in the presence of the Dragon Lord, limbs numb and mind blank.

To the Dragon Lord, this appearance did not seem like the envoy had been startled senseless by its own fears, but rather exhibited a calm and shrewd demeanor.

Admiration unwittingly rose within the Dragon Lord’s heart.

At the same time,

The Dragon Lord’s gaze shifted from the Dragon Lord’s Envoy and focused on the palaces on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, close to Sword Handle Mountain.

The Dragon Lord’s vision was exceedingly far-reaching.

With just one glance, the Dragon Lord could see the devilishly beautiful female Demons inside the palace.

“Were these female Demons also led here by you?” he couldn’t help but ask the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

A flood of surprise swept over the Dragon Lord, and a contemplative look flickered through his eyes.

At this time, although he knew that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had previously been impersonating him, maintaining the illusion within the Eight-layered Devil Realm that he was still on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils,

The Dragon Lord did not know, however, how the Envoy had managed to do so.

Therefore,

Upon hearing that the female Demons in the palace had been brought to Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils by the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, he subconsciously assumed they were all prepared for that member of the Human Race.

After all,

That member of the Human Race had possibly been here since the Dragon Lord’s disappearance, waiting for the right moment to emerge, to appear before his eyes.

Just thinking about that,

sweat instantly burst forth on the Dragon Lord’s forehead,

and he felt a slight shiver down his spine.

The Dragon Lord now felt that, on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, apart from the bloody feast he dared to face, he dared not provoke anyone else.

After pondering for a while, he decided to go and see the female Demons in the palace.

At this time, the Dragon Lord was also somewhat bewildered as to why that member of the Human Race had left without taking the female Demons with him.

Was it because the Human Race was returning to the Four Directions Mortal World and it was inconvenient to bring them along?

That didn’t seem right.

With the Human Race member’s strength, even if something were to happen with the female Demons, it wouldn’t have posed a problem…

Question upon question emerged in the Dragon Lord’s mind,

becoming a tangled mess of threads within his thoughts.

“Let’s go have a look first.”

The Dragon Lord murmured softly and looked at the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, “Let’s go together and check on those women.”

“Did His Excellency command you on how to arrange these women?”

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy shook its head.

“Master did not say.”

“Only that they might be useful to Master.”

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy remembered Cheng Guang had mentioned before that these women might be useful to him later on.

The envoy took note of this sentence.

Having heard the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, the Dragon Lord also had a clearer understanding.

The member of the Human Race had likely left these female Demons behind for him to take care of.

After frowning slightly, the Dragon Lord felt that taking care of these female Demons, though left behind, was indeed a thankless task.

After some consideration, he felt a bit troubled about how to arrange for these women.

He would look for an opportunity to send them back to their respective clans.

Otherwise, should any accident befall these female Demons on Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils,

that member of the Human Race, already perhaps sullen for being refused by him, would only grow more distressed if his people were harmed.

The Dragon Lord truly feared that he might not be able to bear the consequences.

As the Dragon Lord thought this, his pace became somewhat hurried; his wings spread as he soared toward that cluster of palaces.

At this moment, the Dragon Lord wished only to send away all these female Demons.

After the Dragon Lord’s figure vanished from the spot, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy did not snap out of it for quite some time, as though completely dumbfounded.

It remembered Cheng Guang had instructed it to follow the Dragon Lord.

Now that the Dragon Lord had left, it still had to follow.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy struggled to lift its feet, contemplating following the Dragon Lord’s path toward the distant palace.
