That Dragon Girl Is Truly Despicable!

"What is your elder sister's name?"

In the darkness, Zi Ji jolted when she heard that voice.

She immediately swallowed, recalling that blast of Water Azure Dragon.

If that fool, the Titan Giant Ape, revealed her name, and Old Pervert retaliated against her with a Water Azure Dragon blast, wouldn't she die an unjust death?

Zi Ji panicked. She pushed aside the branches before her and stared intently at the Titan Giant Ape.

Soul Power erupted within her. She swore that if the Titan Giant Ape's mouth formed even a single "Zi," she would immediately revert to her true form and rush over to make it shut up for good!

Though she had twisted the truth in some matters, she had never expected the Titan Giant Ape to come stand up for her!

If Lord learned of this, it would be even worse...

"No, I can't expose my aura. Otherwise, Lord will definitely notice!"

Zi Ji found herself caught between a rock and a hard place.

"My dragon sister? How could I tell you that? What right does a weak human like you have?"

Hearing the Titan Giant Ape say that, Zi Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it did not reveal her name!

Wait...

If that was the case, perhaps the Titan Giant Ape really could vent her anger for her!

Zi Ji braced herself against the tree trunk and leaned forward, gazing at Dan Heng's back as he faced off against the Titan Giant Ape.

"Old Pervert, you can't use your power freely right now, can you? Heh heh, just wait to be humiliated!" Zi Ji grinned, eagerly watching the situation unfold.

Relying on its size advantage, the Titan Giant Ape held up its hand in the air. With its thumb and forefinger spread apart, the gap was roughly Dan Heng's height.

It curled its thick black lips into a grin and said, "Look, you're only this big. What right do you have to know my dragon sister's name?"

"..." Dan Heng calmly watched the Titan Giant Ape, showing no emotional reaction to its words.

It was merely a foolish beast. He found it almost amusing to look at.

"Human, my dragon sister once said that you people grow lice and bully others... Was that how it went?" The Titan Giant Ape scratched its head, troubled by its unclear speech.

It turned back to look at the bound family of three from the Peerless Dragon Serpent.

How could Dragon Duke Meng Shu dare offend it? He hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Grow lice and bully others..."

Upon hearing that, the Titan Giant Ape became enraged and pointed at Dan Heng. "You humans are too hateful! If you grow lice on yourselves, why do you bully other people?"

"..." The family of three from the Peerless Dragon Serpent was utterly dumbfounded.

"It's 'use power to bully others.' You remembered it wrong."

Dan Heng shook his head.

Looking at this fool, the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Though it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and should have possessed considerable intelligence, it seemed excessively straightforward—far too innocent, in fact.

Had Zi Ji sent it here?

The Titan Giant Ape froze for a moment, then furiously pounded its chest, producing drum-like thuds.

"You humans really are the most detestable!"

"Anyway, it's wrong for you to bully Dragon Sister! I want you... all of you to agree to one thing! Otherwise, I'll never let you go!"

The Titan Giant Ape's lantern-like eyes suddenly gleamed with ferocity.

They swept back and forth over Dan Heng and the others.

The Peerless Dragon Serpent couple's hearts skipped a beat, and their expressions changed drastically.

For a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to be this serious, it had to be an incredibly dangerous matter—likely a near-certain death sentence.

Though they had lived long lives, they cherished them all the more!

Dan Heng sighed softly. Looking at the panicked family of three from the Peerless Dragon Serpent, he said, "Let them go. Leave only me behind. I guarantee that I'll accomplish whatever you want me to do."

Dan Heng thought that once no one was watching, he would strike hard and send the Titan Giant Ape back to the core region with a single blow!

The Peerless Dragon Serpent couple stared at Dan Heng in astonishment.

At that moment, they were deeply ashamed.

Dan Heng was clearly just a scholar, not even a Soul Master, yet he was calmer than they were when facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He had even considered trading his own life for their safety.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu let out a heavy sigh. If he had not been tied up, he would have wanted to slap himself.

When he had just learned that Dan Heng was a scholar, he had actually looked down on him?

Meng Yiran's eyes were filled with infatuation. She knew full well that Dan Heng was only a scholar, yet seeing him stand there, she was no longer afraid of their current predicament at all.

"No!" The Titan Giant Ape immediately shook its head.

Zi Ji, who was observing from the shadows, forcefully pumped her fist, silently shouting, "Awesome!!!"

That was how Old Pervert should be firmly rejected!

He was always acting so calm and detached!

Other than Lord giving you a bit of face, who else in this world would care about you?

The Titan Giant Ape shook its huge head. It was here to vent Elder Sister Zi Ji's anger. If those humans escaped and called for reinforcements, and Lord found out, wouldn't it be punished?

Did they really think the Titan Giant Ape was an idiot?!

Dragon Duke Meng Shu said at that moment, "Honorable Titan Giant Ape, I hold considerable influence among humans. I am willing to pay a certain price in exchange for all of us leaving together..."

"No!" The Titan Giant Ape refused decisively.

"..."

Dragon Duke Meng Shu was out of options.

He could only wait for the Titan Giant Ape to state what it wanted them to do!

Dan Heng looked up at the Titan Giant Ape, deep in thought.

He was considering what sort of attack he could use against the Titan Giant Ape without anyone realizing it was him, while also ensuring he did not kill the Titan Giant Ape in one blow.

He had to judge the force carefully. After all, he did not bear any particular ill will toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"You have to lick my dragon sister's toes!"

"That human bullied my dragon sister into eating dirty things, making her stomach feel like it was about to explode! He even secretly ogled Dragon Sister with lecherous, vulgar eyes! And he deliberately tried to seduce her in all sorts of ways!"

"He took pleasure in bullying my dragon sister..."

The Titan Giant Ape began denouncing that "criminal."

Dan Heng listened with a slight frown. At first, he had suspected that it was talking about him.

But those descriptions clearly did not fit him, did they?

They were completely at odds with the facts.

The Peerless Dragon Serpent couple was utterly bewildered. They had never expected there to be such a formidable person in the world—someone who bullied a dragon-clan Soul Beast?

The Titan Giant Ape grew more animated. Opening its huge mouth, it continued, "My dragon sister's mas..."

Before it could finish, a dragon's roar suddenly rang out from nearby.

"ROAR!!!"

A massive pitch-black dragon suddenly charged out from behind them, whipping up a fierce gale that shook the treetops. In an instant, it reached them and bit down on the Titan Giant Ape's neck.

The next moment, the giant dragon beat its wings and flew toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"!!!"

The family of three from the Peerless Dragon Serpent stood there, dumbstruck.

That dragon roar had left their heads ringing.

They could not hear any other sound at all. Then they watched helplessly as the giant dragon flew away, and everything fell into dead silence once more.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly. He had already recognized the Black Dragon's identity.

So what had the Titan Giant Ape been about to say?

After thinking it over, Dan Heng shook his head and dismissed the urge to find out.
