The Demon Dragon Descends

Ling Yuan stared blankly at the pattern on the back of his hand, looking slightly dazed.

From today onward, the Infinite Dragon God was his Contract Beast.

"Ding! The system has changed the master's Contract Beast to Contract Beast Catalog No. 1314: Mist Snake!"

The system's voice faded, and everyone present gradually recovered.

There was no confusion on their faces. Instead, they casually began talking with the people around them.

"Impressive!"

Seeing this, Ling Yuan gave the Big Light Orb in his mind a thumbs-up.

Having summoned an "ordinary" Contract Beast, Ling Yuan naturally returned to his class as well.

So from now on, you'll be my Contract Beast in public? Ling Yuan thought as he looked down at the tiny black snake curled around his finger.

Beside him, Wang Ming saw Ling Yuan lowering his head in silence.

Thinking Ling Yuan was upset about summoning an ordinary Contract Beast, Wang Ming patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. "Ling Yuan, it's fine. Your bro will look after you from now on!"

Ling Yuan froze when he heard that, then smiled. "Then I'll be relying on you from now on, Young Master Wang."

After the summoning ceremony ended, Ling Yuan said goodbye to a few classmates he was relatively familiar with from his memories and quickly returned home.

He stretched out his hand, and the Ouroboros pattern on the back of it lit up.

A petite black-haired girl appeared in the living room amid radiant light.

After coming out, Ophis curiously glanced around before finally fixing her gaze on Ling Yuan.

She lunged at him, but because of her petite build, she could only hug his leg.

Ling Yuan rubbed Ophis's head, slid his hands beneath her arms, and lifted her up.

He then sat on the sofa, while Ophis naturally settled into his lap.

"System, is that Super Dimensional Sign-in System also one of your subsystems?" Ling Yuan asked as he held the adorable dragon.

"Ding! Yes. This system is set to allow one sign-in per week, and the rewards are completely random."

"Once a week? Today is Friday, so does that mean I can sign in the day after tomorrow?" Ling Yuan asked.

"...Theoretically, yes."

"Alright then, let's change the subject."

"Please ask, Master."

Ling Yuan asked solemnly, "Will you support me?"

System: "???"

You really threw me for a loop there.

"You'll reimburse daily food, drinks, water, electricity, and travel expenses, right? If I get a girlfriend later, the little money I have won't be enough in this world."

"Right now, I'm raising an unhatched Bella and an infinitely adorable dragon. You aren't seriously expecting an ordinary person like me to raise two dragons, are you? No way, right? There can't really be such an irresponsible system in this world, one that wants to see its master starving and freezing, right?"

After saying that, Ling Yuan took a deep breath, a resolute glint appearing in his eyes. "Believe it or not, I'll wah for you!"

System: "..."

After a brief silence, the system's extremely speechless voice sounded. "Are all transmigrators as shameless as you, Master?"

Ling Yuan acted as if he had not heard it. He pressed both hands against the Big Light Orb in his mind, his gaze deep. "I've had a dream since I was young!"

"Ding! This system has opened the points exchange system of the Super Dimensional Group Chat System for the host. At an exchange rate of 1:1000 with the real world, one point can be exchanged for one thousand Flame Coins!"

"Love you, bro."

After receiving the answer, Ling Yuan patted the system's big bald head and contentedly withdrew from his mental space.

When he opened his eyes, he met Ophis's puzzled gaze.

"Come on, Daddy's taking you out for Australian lobster today!"

As he spoke, Ling Yuan lifted Ophis and set her on the ground.

The two held hands and left the house.

The moment they stepped outside—

"Ling Yuan, you're back? Huh? Is she your little sister?"

Aunt Xiao, the neighbor next door, was watering flowers. She froze when she saw Ling Yuan and Ophis, then asked with a smile.

"Ling Yuan is my daddy!"

Ophis's soft, delicate voice rang out.

Crack!

Something seemed to break.

Aunt Xiao had completely petrified. A crack ran through her entire body, and the watering can in her hand fell straight to the ground.

"Cough, cough, Aunt Xiao, don't listen to her nonsense. She's actually my cousin. She's planning to attend high school here and is staying at my house for the time being."

Ling Yuan immediately covered Ophis's mouth and forced a smile.

He did not want to die of embarrassment just yet.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You scared me to death." Aunt Xiao patted her chest and shot Ling Yuan a charming glare.

She had always considered Ling Yuan her future son-in-law.

"Ling Yuan, Ranran will be back from the Vatican in a few days. I heard she became Archangel Gabriel's contractor and was bestowed the Light of Heaven."

"Xia Ranran? (They're different, don't associate her with Xia Ran! I'm just bad at naming.)"

Ling Yuan froze for a moment.

That innocent, adorable figure surfaced in his mind.

She had really made something of herself. She actually managed to contract Archangel Gabriel. Sure enough, angels seemed to prefer sweet, innocent girls.

The Demon Dragon Descends

"Ding! Reminder, Master: Belleronus has successfully hatched. Would you like to extract her?"

At six in the afternoon during summer, the sky was still bright.

After eating Australian lobster with Ophis, Ling Yuan was holding her hand as they took an after-dinner walk.

Ling Yuan halted when he heard the system prompt in his mind.

He smacked his forehead.

Right, he had actually forgotten about this after stuffing himself!

After looking around and finding few people nearby, he immediately said, "Extract her."

"Ding! Reminder, Master: After hatching, Belleronus's size will be somewhat different from before. It would be best to choose an uninhabited place," the system reminded him.

"Huh?"

Ling Yuan wore a confused expression.

How much bigger could she get after eating just one gemstone...

Still, just to be safe, Ling Yuan said to Ophis, "Xiao Fei, take me somewhere with no one around. Somewhere with lots of space."

Ophis did not suspect anything and gently nodded. She pushed her little hand toward the void.

The next second—

A flash of white light filled Ling Yuan's vision. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived on an incomparably vast plain!

From here, he could even see the setting sun.

Is this Ophis's power? So powerful!

Changing the scenery in an instant reminded Ling Yuan of Shiroyasha's ability to alter the world in a moment.

After contracting Ophis, he had received her feedback and gained Ophis's infinite energy, but...

Before summoning Ophis, he had merely been one ordinary person among countless others. Even with infinite energy, he had no corresponding skills to use it.

He was sitting on a mountain of gold without knowing how to spend it.

That really annoyed Ling Yuan.

"System, is this place big enough?"

"Ding! Replying to Master, it is sufficient."

"Then extract her."

The moment he finished speaking—

Boom!

An incomparably terrifying pillar of flame erupted from the ground and shot straight into the heavens.

Endless flames spread outward, burning everything!

Ophis narrowed her eyes and stretched out her tiny hand.

Hiss!

The flames that had been roaring toward them seemed to encounter something unimaginably terrifying the moment they touched Ophis's hand, and they all retreated.

A perfect isosceles triangle appeared within the plain that had been reduced to ashes for ten thousand meters.

The gale howled, forcing Ling Yuan to shield his eyes.

He cursed the system inwardly. Wasn't this extraction process a little too life-threatening?

Roar!

A massive dragon roar echoed through the air.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining Blazing Phoenix Realm—the Demon Dragon Belleronus!"

The endless flames began to contract.

Under Ling Yuan's stunned gaze, a silver dragon over a hundred meters long, its entire body wrapped in flames, flapped its wings and slowly descended toward the ground amid the scorching wind.

At the same time—

"Buzz~"

A red pattern resembling blazing flames appeared behind the Ouroboros on the back of Ling Yuan's right hand.

Ling Yuan was completely dumbfounded as he looked at Belleronus.

Yesterday, he had been complaining that Bella was too small. Today, she had given him such an enormous surprise.

At that moment, Ling Yuan only wanted to ask one thing.

You trash system, this was what you meant by "somewhat different"? If you don't need your eyes, donate them!

And besides... she became this huge after eating one gemstone?!

Was that reasonable?

"Rrroar~"

Belleronus let out a soft call and slowly lowered her enormous head toward Ling Yuan.

Just as Belleronus was about to touch Ling Yuan, a petite figure appeared in front of him and warily looked at Belleronus.

A delicate voice rang out. "Master, danger!"

Ling Yuan looked at Ophis standing protectively in front of him, gently rubbed her head, and smiled. "Don't worry. Bella is my Contract Beast too, just like you."

As Ophis looked on in confusion, Ling Yuan walked up to Belleronus and extended his hand.

"Wuuu~"

Belleronus cooperatively pressed her head into Ling Yuan's palm.

Whoosh!
