Why I Had the Urge to Beat You to Death

"You're the birdman, your whole family are birdmen!"

Aroman, who had been nonchalant, retorted angrily when she heard the way humans addressed her on the projection screen.

After she finished cursing, she realized why this human had made her want to kill him with just one sentence.

This is very abnormal.

She is very patient with humans and strong individuals outside of humans. As long as they don't go too far, she will usually only demand a certain amount of money and then let them go. She never has the urge to kill them.

Even with that Fallen Heroic Spirit, she mostly just wanted to possess her and then sell her at a high price.

The human in the projection was different. The first time she saw him, she felt that he looked like he deserved to be punched.

When he opened his mouth to speak, the urge to kill him was stronger than ever before.

"Human, answer me a question."

"You ask, and I'm obligated to answer? How dare some nobody act so arrogantly in front of me? Fine, I'll give you a chance since you've taken my idiot teammate hostage."

One question, six hundred thousand gold coins. You ask, I answer.

The Venus in the projection screen suddenly became dazed. Was this still the same taciturn, honest and simple Lance from more than a thousand years ago?

Her tone, expression, and contemptuous gaze made her feel that Lance was asking for a beating.

Forgive her; she doesn't even know why she felt her teammate was being obnoxious.

"Ha, 600,000 gold coins? Are you a little slut made of pure gold?"

If you don't dare to ask, then don't ask.

"I dare not ask? Of all the humans I have ever seen, you are the only one who gives me the urge to kill you even if it costs me money."

Lance, nestled in the soft sofa, chuckled. Back when he was the lord of Red Dragon City, this Aroman who couldn't even open his tail feathers wanted to kill him.

Even after he turned into a human, he was still a handsome and non-greasy-looking human. When Aroman saw him, he still had the urge to kill him.

If he hadn't known that Aroman couldn't see through his Transformation Technique, he would have suspected that he had been exposed.

"Take my advice: it's not too late to turn back now. The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Do good deeds and don't worry about the future."

"The more you talk, the stronger my urge to kill you becomes. Human, tell me, how do you do that?"

Aroman gradually became agitated. She had felt the urge to kill this human when she first heard him speak, and now, seeing his face, she felt the same urge to kill him.

What happened?

Could she be suffering from bipolar disorder? "It might be because my righteous and peaceful face makes you feel ashamed, which arouses the resentment in your heart and gives you an irresistible urge to tear it apart and violently destroy it."

"???"

The dog-like man projecting his face onto the screen, with a face that seemed to say "Peace and Prosperity," spoke so earnestly. How confident was he in his appearance? I couldn't wait to tear that human's mouth apart!

"I've answered your question. Six hundred thousand gold coins. After deducting the money my teammate owes you, you still owe me tens of thousands of gold coins. You don't need to give me those tens of thousands of gold coins; just transfer them to my idiot teammate."

"I've never seen a human more greedy and shameless than me before. Human, if you want these 600,000 gold coins, come to Peacock City in Dragon Domain if you have the guts. If you don't, you'll stay in your city and watch your stupid teammates become my slaves."

The Peacock King Aroman, with a bird's head and a human body, spread her wings, and after a flash of seven-colored light, her wings transformed into the arms of two human girls.

Her arms were like iridescent glass, smooth and delicate, shimmering with a faint iridescent glow in the dim sunlight.

Aroman raised his right hand, which emitted a faint seven-colored glow, and beckoned to Lance on the projection screen.

"If you have the guts, come find me, this [birdman], in the Dragon Domain."

"I'll be going there soon, and I hope you can come up with the 600,000 gold coins you owe me then."

"I have gold coins, let's see if you have the life to take them from me."

"Birdman, you still don't know how serious this is. Do you know who my stupid teammate's other teammate is? He's the captain of the Hero Party. He killed the Demon King more than a thousand years ago. Now our squad leader is already Half-Step God."

When I go to the Dragon Domain, I will bring the captain of our Hero Party with me. I hope you can withstand the wrath of a Half-Step God.

"The reason I, a Potion Master, dare to engage in verbal sparring with you is because I have something to rely on. These days, it's not about individual combat strength, but about background and connections."

Venus glanced at Lance, then turned her face away; she simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Lance himself was clearly a powerful Sword Cultivator, and even a domain expert.

To lull the city lord into a false sense of security, they actually pushed Leige forward, even saying that Leige was his reliance. How despicable. Although she knew it wasn't good to talk about her teammate like that, she couldn't help but criticize Lance in her heart.

Also, Lance now gives her a feeling of letting go and being herself.

He seemed to be constantly trying to provoke the city lord beside him with his words.

Isn't she afraid that the city lord beside her will vent his anger on her, this "idiot teammate"? "Your name is Lance?"

"Didn't you hear what my idiot teammate called me?"

"No wonder I felt an urge to kill you when I saw you; your name alone makes me hate you. A human being, sharing the same name as that greedy, blind, insidious, treacherous, cunning, and tyrannical fellow."

I don't know whether this is your honor or your misfortune.

"It is his honor to share my name."

"Very good human. I have recorded your words. When you come to the Dragon Domain, the Red Dragon City Acting City Lord will teach you how to be a person."

"Hurry up and come to Dragon Domain to save your idiot teammate. If you're too late, she might become someone's slave."

In the projection screen, Aroman waved goodbye to Lance, signaling Venus to turn off the projection.

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!! When this human comes to the Dragon Domain, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!!! I'll tear that stinking mouth of his apart!!!"

The Peacock City Lord, Aroman, suffered a bipolar disorder attack, and in her anger, she stomped wildly on the balcony floor, causing cracks to appear on the balcony.

Upon seeing this, Venus wanted to remind the city lord that this was her rented house, and the balcony had cracks, so she had to pay for the damages.

"Step lightly, step lightly. If you break it, I'll have to pay for it."

"You don't need to pay for this. I will. I'm the one who stepped on it and I'll take responsibility. Don't worry, as the Peacock City Lord, I never try to extort money from people."

Venus glanced silently at the exorbitant compensation bill in her hand. Wasn't this extortion?

"Peacock City Lord, I don't have that much money."

"If you can't pay it out, earn it. With your abilities, earning 10,000 gold coins a year isn't difficult. Serve me for 50 or 30 years, and you can pay off this debt. Don't worry, I don't do things that force good people into prostitution."

"."

Venus fell silent. Lance had told her not to have a direct conflict with the city lords of Dragon Domain and to stay by the side of the Peacock City Lord for now.

She is one of the city lords who have issued warrants for Iliya's arrest. By staying by her side, she can obtain information about Iliya immediately.

As for the matter of Lance more than 500,000 gold coins, let Lance handle it for her when he arrives, since the Peacock City Lord still owes Lance 600,000 gold coins.

Lance earns money much faster than the Peacock City Lord.

Is the captain of the Hero Party that humans talk about really a Half-Step God? "I don't know, but Leige is indeed very strong."

"I understand. Half-Step God, so he probably won't be short of money."

"."

Are these city lords in the Dragon Domain desperate for money? Lance put the Black Dragon Statue into the Diamond Cutter, rested his cheek on his left hand, sipped his juice, and looked at the dragon cubs across the street.

There are quite a few impure dragon cubs in the Dragon Domain. When we get there, should we let the dragon cubs interact with those dragon cubs? Red Dragon City... It's been several hundred years, but I didn't expect that the city hasn't changed its name yet. There are quite a few Dragon Beast, dragon people, and all kinds of dragons in Red Dragon City.

There are many powerful sub-dragons and Dragon Beast, as well as evil dragons. If he hadn't spoken with Venus's projection today, he would never have remembered that there was such a Red Dragon City in the Dragon Domain.

Venus fell into the hands of Aroman, the Peacock City Lord, and what awaits Venus may be a labor contract.

Having signed that employment contract, she would be an employee of Aroman for the next ten or fifty years.

To get Venus back from Aroman, you either have to defeat Aroman head-on or pay him the money.

Hopefully, Leige will go to the Dragon Domain soon so that Aroman can witness the scene of a hero unleashing their full power.

In this world where gods exist, there is no absolute invincibility.

When you think you're Invincible Under Heaven, some extraordinary young heroes or warriors might suddenly appear from some corner.

The less well-known a village is, the greater the chance of an extraordinary young hero emerging from it.

What were these villages called before?

I remember now.

Beginner Village.

It's nominally a beginner village, but the boy who comes out of it might be a super-powerful expert who is unaware of his max level.

The monsters in the beginner village are likely all Saint Rank monsters.

Besides the legendary beginner village boy, there may also be humans with demigod bloodlines.

There are also seemingly ordinary high school students who suddenly awaken some terrifying, god-like talent.

These are all possibilities.

Lance, who was slurping his juice, suddenly stiffened.

He thought about his recent behavior, which seemed to have gone a bit crazy.

Not long ago, he silently gave himself the title of "half Invincible Under Heaven." There's a saying...

I remember now, it is said that "whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

Are those legendary super-powerful kids in the newbie village waiting for him to go crazy?

Then, will he emerge and eliminate the arrogant villain as the final boss? So far, he doesn't seem to have done anything outrageous, so eliminating him would be a bit difficult.

Speaking of which, the human world is so vast, and there are many powerful beings in the Four Regions. Surely there must be one or two powerful evil villains? Could the super-powerful kids in the beginner village emerge and wipe out one or two evil villains, showing them their terrifying combat power?

Speaking of which, Leige should be considered a kid who came from the beginner village. Although he's not at max level, he has good talent and luck.

When he is seriously injured during a team adventure, he will inevitably encounter a miraculous event.

They either find some strange and wondrous artifacts, or they break through their cultivation level after being seriously injured, making rapid progress in their understanding of Combat Skill and swordsmanship.

Another point is that, apart from him, Leige's other three teammates are all women.

Iliya a young girl with superhuman strength and a slightly naive appearance but large breasts.

The gloomy and dark silver-haired witch Venus.

Amelia, a quirky and wealthy elf girl.

If this were in a comic book, the three female teammates would obviously become Leige's confidantes in the end.

During their adventure, the three girls take turns facing danger, Leige descends from the sky at crucial moments to save them.

So here's the question.

Why is Leige, who seems to have come from the beginner village, still single?

Venus, Amelia, Iliya all seem to have no romantic feelings for him.

One thing is certain.

When the five of them became teammates, Venus, Amelia, Iliya clearly had a higher affection for Leige than for him.

Good feelings are not the same as liking.

It's the first impression you get of someone when you meet them for the first time.

After they got to know each other a little better, the three of them didn't really like being close to him.

Perhaps it was the unintentional "dad vibe" he exuded that made the three of them somewhat repulsed? In any case, at first, the three little ones clearly preferred Leige a bit more.

As they spent more time together, this situation gradually changed a little.

When did this change occur?

It seems that things started to change when Amelia came to his side immediately to protect him when he was in danger.

Venus gradually developed a more favorable feeling towards him after he encouraged her to sunbathe and washed her long silver hair.

Iliya's feelings for him increased significantly after I used a magic potion to suppress her development.

Is it because of him that Leige is still single?

If that's the case, then Leige, Venus, Iliya, Amelia should thank him properly.

If one has no woman in their heart, drawing their sword will naturally make them a god.

Without being love-struck, I am the Queen.

Look at what these four have achieved now.

Leige, Half-Step God.

Venus, the Trainee Death God.

Amelia, a powerful elf who loves to wander.

Iliya, a Heroic Spirit, Fallen Heroic Spirit.

Love only brings unhappiness.

If you ever unfortunately encounter a young person who is ridiculously strong and likes to unleash their full power, just call Leige.

Let Leige fight this kind of person.

When the juice in his glass was gone, Lance put the glass aside and started eating the dessert on the table.

We'll have lunch at the coffee shop. The little dragon just ate breakfast and dinner, so he shouldn't be hungry yet. A little something will fill him up.

We'll have dinner at the Valkyrie Temple; the little dragon cub's appetite has increased slightly lately.

Let the Fat Bishop Franco see how much the dragon cub can eat.

The Fat Bishop Franco witnessed the young dragon's appetite; the young dragon ate three days' worth of food for the temple's clergy in one meal.

He finally understood why Lance let the little dragon set up a stall to earn money. With such a big appetite, if the little dragon didn't earn money by setting up a stall, Lance might not be able to support her.

Little Dragon is still so young and already has such a good appetite. I can't even imagine what it will be like when she gets older. After seeing Lance and Little Dragon off, the Fat Bishop Franco decided that he would never again invite Little Dragon to the temple for dinner or lunch so easily.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lance returned to Black Dragon Island with the young dragon.

Without Lance's prompting, the young dragon Lucia returned to the dragon's lair and began practicing her Life Nurturing Exercise on her own.

After finishing his Life Nurturing Exercise, the young dragon took out his calligraphy practice book, returned to his sleeping spot, lay down, and practiced writing Dragon Language.

Lance was squatting on the ground, looking for something.

After searching for a while, he finally took out a fiery red Dragon Scale Armor from the Diamond Cutter.

The young dragon, who was lying on the ground writing Dragon Language, suddenly felt a wave of heat wash over it.

She turned her head to look at Lance, and what came into view was a fiery red Dragon Scale Armor.

The heatwave emanated from this fiery red Dragon Scale Armor.

The dragon's Diamond Cutter contains many wonderful things.

"Are these clothes?"

"Dragon scale armor, when worn, can conceal the original color of your dragon scales, turning your dragon body fiery red, making you a red dragon."

It took me a lot of time to forge this Dragon Scale Armor back then, but the quality is excellent. I haven't worn this Dragon Scale Armor for a long time.

If I hadn't met Venus today, I might not have even remembered that I had this Dragon Scale Armor in my Diamond Cutter.

"Didn't you say you'd paint me black like a dragon?"

"Yes, this Dragon Scale Armor is for me to wear."

"???"

The baby dragon grinned, thinking that the evil dragon was going to give her the Dragon Scale Armor or let her inherit it.

I didn't expect to take it out and air it out, preparing it for him to wear himself.

Wait a minute, with his enormous dragon body, how could he possibly wear this fiery red Dragon Scale Armor? "Why are you wearing this?"

"Disguise yourself as a red dragon. It's always good to be cautious when you're out and about, especially when you decide to become a dragon. You have to learn to disguise yourself even more."

A vicious red dragon has appeared in the human world, and powerful humans are hunting it down. What does that have to do with me, a black dragon? Don't you think that makes sense?

"???"

The young dragon's purple-gold vertical pupils were filled with shock.

No wonder there are no legends of the black dragon Lance in the human world. It turns out that when the evil dragon Lance appeared in the human world, his body was covered with a layer of Dragon Scale Armor similar to those of a red dragon.

"Hey dog, oh no, I mean, you're already so strong, why are you still so cautious? You only suffered a small loss against the Sacred Giant Dragon."

"Then in the human world, even a god who has ignited Divine Fire probably couldn't defeat you, right?"

"You are still young and do not understand the complexities of the human world. The waters of the human world are far deeper than you can imagine."

Human powerhouses who ignite Divine Fire are not frightening; what is frightening are the youths who emerge from unknown paradises, those youths who are completely unaware of their godlike strength.

In battle, it might even be able to instantly kill the god who ignited the Divine Fire.

???

Are there really such powerful beings in the human world?

I've never heard of that.

Could it be that the dragon suffers from paranoia? Is this so-called superhuman boy just a figment of his imagination? I dare not say.

If you say the dragon is sick, the dragon might beat you up.

"You took out this Dragon Scale Armor because you're planning to go to Holy Blue as a red dragon?"

"Instead of going to Saint Blue, we'll go to Dragon Domain Dragon Domain. Once we get there, we might have to stay for a few days as the city lord of Red Dragon City. Don't worry, if we don't like the accommodations, we'll go back to Black Dragon Island to sleep tonight."

???

Lord of Red Dragon City?
