The Evil Dragon Didn't Want to Date You, Afraid of Becoming a Widow
Becoming a god through faith?
The Hero Reg has carved out his own domain. With his potential, there is absolutely no need for him to take this path. Becoming a god through faith is ultimately not as good as relying on his own strength to condense a divine spark and ignite the Divine Fire.
Becoming a god through faith involves a divine status formed from the power of faith. This status is illusory and unreal. As the power of faith gradually dissipates, the divine status formed from that power will also slowly dissipate.
The gods will gradually degenerate into Wild God, until they disappear.
A god who condenses a divine spark through his own strength and ignites Divine Fire, even without the power of faith, could probably live as long as heaven and earth.
Even if they cannot live as long as heaven and earth, they can easily live for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even two hundred thousand years.
With Leige's intelligence, he should know this.
If you're going to believe in becoming a god, you might as well choose to become a heroic spirit.
Leige, who has carved out his own domain, would never take the shortcut of becoming a god through faith.
He was probably drawing inspiration from or trying to experience what the Amelia described Leige as, which suggests that Leige might indeed be drawing inspiration from or trying to experience what he suspected.
In preparation for consolidating divine essence and igniting Divine Fire.
"So, Xiaolong, it's not that I'm underestimating Lance, it's just that Lance might indeed be a little weaker than our captain."
"I don't really understand it, but it sounds really impressive."
The young dragon had no concept of becoming a god through faith, but she knew what becoming a god represented. Even the lowest-ranking deity was still a god.
Much stronger than the so-called strong.
Whether they were stronger than the dragon is hard to say, but at least when they first met the dragon, they were definitely not as strong as the dragon.
In today's world, a hero who becomes a god through faith might be a little stronger than an evil dragon?
Is the captain of the evil dragon a legendary hero? If he is a legendary hero, then it's possible that he's stronger than the evil dragon.
To avoid being targeted by legendary heroes, the evil dragons have all settled in the deep sea. "Little dragon, Lance just told me that he doesn't have many years left to live. Do you want to consider coming with me? I should be able to live for another two thousand years. Maybe I can watch you grow up."
The young dragon shook his head. "I want to outlive the old man, outlive the little old man to death, and inherit the little old man's legacy."
Amelia was somewhat surprised. The little dragon seemed to trust Lance a lot. As for inheriting Lance's estate, she didn't see any greed or possessiveness in the little dragon's eyes.
This shows that Xiaolong doesn't care much about the legacy Lance left her.
Lance's reaction was also strange. When he heard her say that Leige had become a god, he just glanced at her and then a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
What is there for Leige to be pleased about in his belief that he has become a god? Shouldn't he be envious and jealous?
Lance's slightly pleased look just now gave Amelia the feeling of "My kid has done well." We treat you as teammates, but you treat us like kids? Amelia thought she was overthinking it; Lance had changed so much that she was overinterpreting some past events. Hopefully, it was just overinterpretation.
If all the things she imagined were related to Lance, then Lance would be terrifying.
I can accept that Lance is Beast Tamer, and I can also accept that Lance is better than before.
But she probably couldn't accept that Lance was better than all of their teammates back then [King Sealing Demon Slaying]. They became legends at a young age, and she must have been a little arrogant.
"Lance, you have nothing to say about hearing that Leige has become a god through faith?"
"He will not choose to take this shortcut. With his talent, if he wants to become a god, he will choose the righteous path of a Righteous God."
"Those who believe in deification will only learn from, try, and experience things to prepare for the formation of their divine nature and the ignition of their Divine Fire."
Amelia was shocked. How did Lance know this?
He'd met the Hero Reg? The thought was quickly banished from Amelia's mind; it was impossible.
If she hadn't unexpectedly met Lance in Saint Blue, Lance would have lived on forever in her memories.
For the Hero Reg, Lance was long gone.
If his teammates hadn't appeared before Leige, Leige might not have remembered Lance until the anniversary of Lance's death.
Lance's ability to easily deduce the path Leige was planning to take shows that he understands Leige well and is very intelligent! A thousand years ago, Lance wasn't this intelligent.
He is only truly talented when he is preparing medicinal solutions.
In other matters, he is slow to react.
The team reacted incredibly quickly when they encountered danger and needed to escape.
Leige had just shouted "Retreat!"
When he turned around, Lance was already a thousand or two meters away. "Liar! Your honesty and naivety a thousand years ago were all an act!"
"Why would I pretend? I'm genuinely honest." Lance raised his hand and chuckled as he lightly tapped Amelia's head. "A thousand years ago, I was able to get along well with you all for several years, and you didn't dislike me at all. Don't you ever wonder why I was able to do that?"
"Because you're honest and kind?"
"That's one point, and there's another. I've figured out your personalities, temperaments, and preferences, so you'll naturally feel like you're basking in a spring breeze when you're with me."
"???"
Amelia recalled that Lance didn't seem to have any arguments or quarrels with the team members back then, nor did he ever get angry with anyone.
He can get along well with everyone. You might feel a little superior when you're with him, but you'll never dislike him.
Sometimes when the members have a fight, they like to go to Lance and ask Lance to settle the matter.
At this point, Lance will speak the truth without fear of offending his teammates, and he will point out their mistakes one by one.
If a teammate makes a mistake and is not convinced, Lance has a way of making them accept it. If a teammate is not convinced, he will call Leige over and let Leige beat up whoever is not convinced. He has no presence, but when his teammates encounter problems, they always think of him first.
"So, when we were playing around, you weren't just sitting in a corner daydreaming, but observing us? Analyzing our personalities?"
"Does this even need analysis? Just one look at you, a few days of spending time with you, and I can quickly figure out your personalities, temperaments, and preferences."
Think back to when you first joined the team, weren't you the one who loved spending money on me the most? You seem carefree, but you're actually quite cautious. Would you have been willing to spend money on me if you didn't have some skills?
"!!!"
You tricked a young girl like me into spending money, and you're still so smug about it? Where's your shame? "Give me back my money! Before the final battle, I gave you all the money I had, at least five hundred gold coins. When you sacrificed yourself, you only left twenty gold coins in my valuables. Give me back the remaining four hundred and eighty gold coins! I'll let you off the hook and not ask for interest, you liar!"
If the money wasn't mentioned, she had almost forgotten about it; getting back even a little of the 480 gold coins was better than nothing.
He is now the lord of Saint Blue, and his annual tax revenue is dozens of times that of the surrounding lords. "Stay in Saint Blue for a few more days. My son and I will set up a stall to earn money to pay off our debts. We may not be able to pay them off all at once, but I will take half of the money we earn from the stall to pay you back."
"I need to study tonight, Lance, why don't you set up a stall yourself to earn money to pay off your debts?"
In the dead of winter, the dragon would definitely make her set up a stall to earn money again. Meanwhile, she would sit by the window in a coffee shop with Furnace Fire, drinking juice, eating desserts, and reading magazines, while holding her thermos.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your studies have been progressing steadily lately. Taking a break is good for your physical and mental health."
"."
You wretched dragon, you just want to exploit me, a minor laborer.
You might as well starve to death. It's been half a year, and you haven't even broken 300 in savings, let alone a thousand.
When I have money, I spend it; when I don't have money, I either make myself set up a stall to earn money or I encourage Squid Girl to set up a stall to earn money.
They even cheated Squid Girl out of money, claiming they were charging her a stall fee.
Fortunately, the evil dragon always takes her along when he goes out to have fun. Squid Girl hasn't been to Saint Blue much lately. Since she learned to play mahjong, she often stays in the deep sea, teaching the other two Deep Sea Monarch in the surrounding seas how to play mahjong.
The gold coins you've earned might already be lost to the other two [Deep Sea Monarch].
The young dragon stopped, took out a money bag from the Lucky Coin hanging around its neck, and handed it to the evil dragon. "This is the pocket money you gave me, and there are 150 gold coins. You can take it to pay off your debts first, and I will save it slowly when I earn money."
The young dragon thought that she might have to save up all the dowry money for the evil dragon's marriage.
"No need, she doesn't lack money. She can earn money slowly to pay her back. She probably won't leave Shenglan anytime soon, so there's no rush."
Not bad, not bad. He's willing to use his pocket money to pay off his Black Dragon Papa's debts. This shows the dragon cub's filial piety. Raising a child is getting more and more exciting.
We must raise his dragon cub into a Five Good Young Dragon.
You can't raise them to be too docile.
Otherwise, you'll easily get scammed.
I also need to find some time to teach my son how to identify a scumbag.
And the tricks of scumbags.
Actually, preventing scumbags is very simple. Just like he said before, if someone tries to chat you up, beat them up first. If they try to chat you up again, beat them up again. If they still dare to chat you up after dozens or hundreds of times, you can get to know them temporarily and become friends.
He thought about finding a girlfriend in the same way, but then decided against it. What if she wasn't interested in his handsome looks, but just wanted to ask him for directions? If he punched her, he might end up paying her medical bills.
"Then I'll pay for the groceries later."
"I'll do it."
"Keep it. I can make money by setting up a stall, but you're just spending money."
With a sigh, the young dragon put the money bag into the Lucky Coin. She felt that this fake young dragon was gradually taking over the evil dragon's housework. Once she learned to cook, the evil dragon might not even need to cook anymore.
Right now, the evil dragon is raising her, but in another year or two, it might become a situation where she, the Imperial Daughter, is struggling to make money raising the evil dragon, and the young dragon is sighing.
Amelia was stunned. Setting up a stall to make money?
As the lord of Saint Blue, do you really need to set up a stall to make money? Your taxes for a year would be enough, wouldn't they?
Lance's extraordinary potion was also quite effective, although it had some side effects, but they were all within a controllable range.
No, he's a lord now, why would he be selling potions at a stall? I wanted to ask, but it's cold and I'm a bit tongue-tied. Let's talk about it when we get to the Lance's Earl's Mansion in Lance.
A thousand years ago, we were poor.
They will still be poor a thousand years from now.
If this hasn't changed, she'll be very pleased.
There is a vegetable market in Saint Blue City.
The vendors at the market all know that Little Dragon Highness is the Viscount's daughter. When she comes to buy vegetables, they will sell Little Dragon Highness the freshest produce.
Sending them is fine, but Little Dragon Highness said that if they send them, he won't come to buy groceries anymore.
There's no other way but to collect the money. At worst, we can spend it when Little Dragon Highness sets up his barbecue stall.
Meat, vegetables, eggs, and animal legs.
Considering that the dragon was going to treat everyone to dinner tonight, she bought extra ingredients.
Back at the Earl's Mansion, after a short rest, they quickly got busy again.
She helps the dragon wash vegetables, Ingrid will come to help. Sometimes, when the dragon doesn't want to cook, he will eat the food prepared by the Earl's Mansion's chef.
The food prepared by the Earl's Mansion's chef was also quite delicious.
The dragon passed on his cooking skills to the chef, who is currently practicing, thus delaying Ingrid's weight loss plan.
I sample the stir-fries made by the chef every day.
Amelia came to help wash the vegetables. At first, she was a little clumsy, but she got better at it as she washed.
The baby dragon was somewhat surprised.
"I used to help Lance wash vegetables."
"Sister Amelia, you are a guest. Ingrid and I will do the work of washing the firewood."
"Don't be so polite."
Amelia has been observing Lance, constantly comparing the present Lance with the Lance of a thousand years ago.
Compared to a thousand years ago, Lance exudes an air of nobility, along with a sense of nonchalance and languor.
Do whatever you want, don't care about other people's opinions, and don't care about your own status.
One second he could be a scholarly nobleman, the next he could be an ordinary man wearing an apron and smelling of cooking.
His demeanor makes you subconsciously overlook his fairly good looks.
Lance, a thousand years old, is simply honest and simple; his temperament only changes slightly when he is mixing potions.
Occasionally, one can sense a restraint in Lance.
Lance now exudes a completely natural and unreserved demeanor, making her feel completely at ease when interacting with him.
There was absolutely no sense of distance, like not having seen each other for a thousand years.
Amelia was upset again. She felt no distance when she was with Lance, but she occasionally felt a distance when she was with Lance from a thousand years in the future.
Lance is not reserved, but she can be reserved at times.
no.
When she gets back to her lodgings tonight, she has to contact Hero Reg; she must make Hero Reg suffer too.
Dining room.
"Eat what you want, drink what you want, and stop staring at me."
Lance put a few pieces of scrambled eggs into his bowl and started eating them by himself. Amelia kept staring at him, wondering if it was really necessary to be so dramatic.
The face is still the same face, okay. The face may have changed slightly, but it shouldn't be to the point of Complete Makeover.
As for staring at him the whole time?
"I want to know what you've experienced in the past thousand years that has changed you so much?"
"You've grown up, so why can't I?"
"No, no, no, I call this growth. You liar, this isn't growth, it's like you've become a completely different person."
Are you in a relationship?
"What?!"
Amelia's expression became slightly unnatural. Suddenly asking her if she was in a relationship, could it be that Lance a thousand years later was trying to pursue her? No, he had no such intentions.
The look in Lance's eyes when he looked at her lacked the hazy, romantic feelings he had when he wanted to be in a relationship.
"Got it, still single. Let's eat, you thousand-year-old bachelor."
"???"
A lifelong bachelor?
Damn it!
What's the difference between this and calling her a single dog? The young dragon, who was sitting to the side eating and drinking, looked up at the evil dragon. A single noblewoman?
They really know how to beautify themselves.
"You're over a thousand years old, why haven't you found a partner yet?"
The reason she wandered around the human world was twofold: first, to search for the legendary evil dragon, and second, to avoid her parents' nagging and pressure to get married.
I never expected that running into a former teammate would lead to me being urged to find a partner.
Let her dream of returning to the Elf Kingdom: "If you can get a dragon to be my blind date, I'll date. I want to date a dragon."
"Dream on, the dragon refuses to date you."
"What do you mean by 'beautiful enough to kill me'?" Amelia retorted, displeased. "My appearance rivals that of princesses in the human world, so why does the dragon refuse to date me?"
"If I were to fall in love with you, even a dragon would fear being widowed."
"???"
What does this mean? Why would a dragon who fell in love with her become a widow?
"You're not a dragon, how do you know that if a dragon falls in love with me, it will become a widow?"
"There are differences even among immortal species. You can live for three thousand years, while a dragon can live for more than ten thousand years. For you, falling in love with a dragon not only fulfills your dream but also lets you experience the thrill of a forbidden love that transcends racial boundaries."
But for a dragon, having to prepare a funeral for his wife right after getting married is too cruel for what you imagine to be romantic.
Of course, if the dragon you like is one that has a penchant for promiscuity, then you'll be the one suffering. If you're looking for a partner, I suggest you find someone of your own kind.
If I can't find anyone, I can have my dragon cub take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days, but your inheritance must be passed down to my dragon cub.
"."
With just a few words, he arranged the entire life of this elf so clearly. He even thought about having a dragon cub take care of her in her old age and inherit her estate. How did Lance go from "dating" to having a dragon cub inherit her estate? Warm mouth, how come the words spoken are so cold?
Lance from a thousand years ago was so much better. Her desire to chat vanished instantly, Amelia ate in silence.
Her dream of falling in love with a dragon was shattered. If it weren't for Lance's delicious cooking, she wouldn't even be in the mood to eat.
After finishing the Mutton Soup in his bowl, the young dragon rested his cheeks on his two claws and sighed inwardly as he looked at the evil dragon.
The Lightning Dragon Eileen is a pure-blooded female dragon. She calls you "brother," but you vomit in front of her. An elf wants to fall in love with a dragon, but then says that dragons are afraid of being widowed. Stay single.
"Wait a few thousand years, and I'll marry a divorced female dragon and settle down." Amelia suddenly realized that Lance Lance, a thousand years later, didn't seem to have a partner and was still single.
I like men who are a little older than me.
"???"
Do you like older men?
"You like older women? Why?"
"Because older women are more caring."
vomit--
vomit--
vomit--
The young dragon and Amelia both gagged at the same time.
Lance was also gagging; he was disgusted by his own words, "Older sister."
"A woman three years older than him, holding a gold brick, calling someone an older sister is enough to disgust him. He probably won't be able to hold a gold brick in the future." "Viscount, Miss Eileen has arrived."
"Human Viscount, I'm back. This time, I want to learn swordsmanship from you."
