You are the Royal Court Judge?!

Hopefully, the Demon King of the Abyss will be friendly enough. If he isn't, then he'll have no choice but to take over the Demon King's power temporarily.

In chaotic and disorderly places, the strong rule.

As long as you are stronger than the Demon King and can crush him, you can become the new Demon King.

He has little interest in being the Demon King; he would prefer to cooperate with the Demon King, but in the end, he might have to resort to force to do so.

Offering gifts and money will not only fail to gain the Demon King's approval, but may also lead the Demon King to perceive you as weak and easily bullied.

Heaven.

This is an ancient city under the rule of the Succubus race.

Named "Paradise," this city truly deserves to be described as "Paradise" to the vast majority of male and Demon Race Demon Race.

Here, you can see all kinds of Succubus: the aloof type, the delicate and charming type, the pure and cute type, and the two-faced type. As long as you are male, you can always find a Succubus here that can touch your heartstrings.

He had never been here when he was studying in the Abyss. After all, he was still relatively weak back then. He was afraid that if he came to this ruthless Heaven City, he would be kidnapped and violated by lustful Succubus would knock him unconscious.

Beings who have never encountered Succubus might have the impression that they are petite and Succubus, with little fighting ability, and only know how to use their advantages to please the opposite sex.

This is incorrect.

In reality, even the weakest Succubus possess a certain degree of self-defense ability. If one is not careful, even a strong one could be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Upon arriving at the Abyss, my first stop was [Heaven], because I wanted to see if I could encounter Chloe, the Succubus, here.

It doesn't matter if we don't meet.

[Paradise] is a natural intelligence hub; if you pay attention here, you can obtain some strange and unusual information.

You can hear all sorts of gossip, from ancient secrets to the hottest news, from which region a new demon king has been born to which young man from an ancient family has been tricked into losing his virginity by an experienced Succubus.

The dragon cub comes from the human world, and her appearance is bound to cause a small sensation, especially if she happens to be teleported to an area near [Heaven City].

The big-mouthed Demon Race in Heaven City, as well as those bird-beaked demons who like to show off, will mention this when they chat.

Other Demon Race who know about this might also use it as a topic of conversation.

After all, you don't always encounter creatures that have fallen from the human world into the heart of the abyss.

Normally, to encounter creatures beyond the abyss, one can only do so at the border.

Lance wandered aimlessly along Angel Street in Heaven City.

The streets are filled with Demon Race of all races: tall, ferocious demons; pale-faced, skinny low-ranking vampires; bird-headed demons with bird-beaked bodies; and snake-headed, snake-bodied demons with arms and legs.

If a normal human fell into this place, they would be gone in no time.

Dragonmen like him, with horns on their heads and resembling humans, have attracted the interest of many Demon Race.

For example, right now, several pale-faced, thin low-ranking vampires were eyeing him from behind and in front of him.

Vampires are extremely sensitive to blood and qi, and have little resistance to it.

For these low-level vampires, his vital energy is more nourishing than any magic potion.

However, if these low-ranking vampires were to actually touch his blood, they would be more likely to be burned to ashes.

The Holy Water of the temple can burn low-ranking vampires to ashes, and the pure yang dragon blood in his body is even more domineering than the Holy Water of the temple.

To drink his pure Yang dragon blood, one must at least be a high-ranking vampire or at the level of an ancestor.

He glanced around and realized that not only low-ranking vampires were eyeing him, but also the Succubus owners of some shops on both sides of the street.

The low-ranking vampires, Succubus, and some hideous demons were fortunate that Heaven City was an orderly place. If it were outside the city, in those chaotic and disorderly places, these guys who had their eyes on him might have already attacked him.

Lance discovered something very interesting.

The Succubus here attract customers with their own charm, much like those talented women who sell their art but not their bodies.

If you want to take advantage of these Succubus, or make Succubus take an interest in you, besides strength, appearance also matters.

"Hey sir, I have some delicious food here, would you like to come in and try some?"

A Succubus wearing an apron and holding a cleaver stood at the entrance of her shop and shouted at Lance. To prove that she was telling the truth, she pointed to the cooked meats displayed in the counter.

"I have no money."

"It's okay if you don't have money, all you have to do is let your sister kiss you."

Lance grinned. Succubus are never reserved. At least when they encounter prey that suits their taste, they don't pretend to be demure; instead, they take the initiative.

They won't be so enthusiastic about prey they're not interested in; they'll treat prey who want to take advantage of them with the air of goddesses.

"I'm not as casual as you think."

"Hey buddy, you're wandering around the streets like this without any precautions, you're likely to get bitten by mosquitoes."

As soon as the Succubus finished speaking, two pale-faced low-ranking vampires stumbled towards Lance. Just as they were about to reach Lance, their two fangs, gleaming with cold light, locked onto Lance's arms.

This is "Paradise." If you bite someone's neck and suck their blood here, you'll be taken away by the sheriff.

Biting the arm was fine; when he bumped into the dragonman, he accidentally scratched the dragonman's arm with his teeth and took the opportunity to suck a few mouthfuls of his blood. Even the sheriff couldn't say anything when he saw this.

They bumped into the dragon man by accident; they didn't mean to hurt him.

The blood and energy emanating from this dragon-man smelled wonderful.

Unable to resist any longer, just as they were about to touch the dragonman, everything suddenly went black, and the dragonman, who was originally a little over a meter tall, instantly turned into a giant.

When the two low-ranking vampires realized something was wrong and tried to escape, Lance, now a giant, stepped on them and crushed them under his feet.

In the abyss, it's sometimes necessary to appropriately demonstrate one's strength.

This can avoid a lot of trouble.

As for whether doing this will attract the attention of the sheriff of Paradise City, that's not a big problem.

Unless bloodshed occurs, the sheriff will not detain them arbitrarily.

Having served as a judge before, he knows how to conduct himself appropriately.

Lance returned to his original size, and the two low-ranking vampires who were stepped into the floor tiles could only get out if some meddlesome Demon Race pried them out.

The Succubus standing at the shop entrance saw this scene and her beautiful eyes sparkled. He was handsome, powerful, and exuded a sweet fragrance.

Very pure.

Only living beings whose spirit, mind, and body have not been defiled can exude this sweet fragrance.

She had only ever smelled this kind of aura on young Demon Race from some ancient families.

No, no, that's not right.

The aura emanating from this young dragon was even sweeter than that of the young Demon Race from ancient families.

I can't resist the urge to defile this dragon-man guy.

"Hey buddy, come in and have some meat. It's free, just let me breathe in your air a few times."

I'm not hungry.

After glancing at the Succubus proprietress, Lance wandered aimlessly through the streets again. He noticed that many of the Succubus on both sides of the street were looking at him with increasingly intense gazes.

Several Succubus in the shops stared at him for a while before closing their shops early and ending their business.

The shops run by Succubus sell all sorts of things: Pet Beast, devil flowers, snacks. While they earn money and rare treasures from male Demon Race, they also wait for powerful male Demon Race to conquer them.

He also noticed that the Succubus shop owners on both sides of the street exchanged glances before closing their shops, seemingly conveying some unspoken message.

I turned my head and glanced at the Succubus shop owner who used to sell meat, and found that her shop had also closed down.

Some of the Demon Race on the street seemed to realize something when they saw this scene, and their eyes held an indescribable look as they looked at Lance.

He had hoped to hear some news about the dragon cub here, but it seems he was wrong. He had walked the streets for so long and hadn't heard a single thing about the dragon cub.

After today, he might become the subject of conversation among these Demon Race.

Let's find a pub and hang out for a while, see if we can hear some exciting news.

If nothing is found, then the only option is to temporarily leave [Paradise] and go to the wilderness to find some demon kings and see if we can reach an agreement with them.

There's a tavern not far ahead.

The tavern is called: [Scarlet Ocean].

There is a blood-red bat on the plaque.

It seems the tavern owner is a vampire.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the [Scarlet Ocean] tavern, Lance pushed open the door and entered.

There was no wild and energetic music as I had imagined; instead, the music in the bar was soothing and had a special touch of instrumental music.

The layout of the pub is quite simple, with a bar in the center and a wine cabinet displaying all kinds of fine wines and Multicolor Paint drinks behind it.

The hall was furnished with tables and chairs, including small tables for three or four people to sit around, tables for one person to sit alone, and large tables for seven or eight people.

There is also a live music stage diagonally opposite the bar.

Lance entered the tavern, briefly attracting the attention of some Demon Race, but the Demon Race drinking there quickly shifted their gaze away from Lance and began drinking and chatting.

Lance went to the bar and casually found a seat.

Behind the bar was a vampire girl dressed in a fiery red leather jacket and pants, with scarlet eyes, long hair, and fair, glowing skin—her vampire characteristics were very obvious.

She was wiping the wine glasses.

"A glass of red wine, please."

The vampire girl wiping the wine glasses looked up at Lance. "I haven't seen you before. Is this your first time visiting our [Scarlet Ocean]?"

"Um."

"So how do you plan to pay for the drinks? With your own blood? Or gold, silver, or other valuables?"

"Money."

"A glass of red wine and a bottle of Demon Gold."

"Okay, I understand."

Lance gave a casual reply, his attention immediately turning to the patrons in the tavern who were engaged in lively conversation.

The vampire girl behind the bar handed a glass of red wine to Lance.

"Thanks."

Lance took the glass and gently swirled the red wine inside.

"A new demon king has been born in the Scarlet Wasteland. I heard that a few days ago, the newly born demon king in the Scarlet Plain attacked a city. He was extremely fierce and violent."

"That's normal. Demon kings born in Land of Chaos and Disorder only dare to attack small cities without strong leaders. They probably don't even have the courage to enter a large city like Paradise City."

"There's nothing to pay attention to about the Demon King. It seems there's been some big activity in the major royal cities recently. I heard that some ferocious Demon Race listed as 'forbidden' might be unsealed, and some of Demon Race deeds might be revealed."

"The most recent forbidden Demon Race in our time seems to be a Black Dragonkin. I heard that some of his deeds have been included in the textbooks of the Royal Academy."

"What's so special about this? Have you ever heard of the Forbidden Four Cities?"

"What Forbidden Four Cities?"

"The Black Forbidden City, the Demon Forbidden City, the Dragon Forbidden City, and the Human Forbidden City —I heard from an old demon who has lived for a very long time that these Forbidden Four Cities exist for the legendary [Forbidden] Black Dragonkin. All the information and data about that Black Dragonkin are sealed within these four forbidden cities."

Lance, sitting at the bar, took a sip of red wine. He hadn't gathered any information about the dragon cub, but he had overheard some information about him.

The Forbidden Four Cities is unpleasant to hear.

"Wouldn't it be a bit boring to drink alone? Would you like me to have a drink with you?"

The vampire girl behind the bar asked Lance, "This dragonman doesn't seem to be here to drink, but just for fun?" "It's no fun having a drink with me, why don't you buy me one?"

"???"

A blank look appeared in the vampire girl's scarlet eyes. In all these years, this was the first time she had heard such words.

Previously, it was always the customers who treated her to drinks.

The vampire girl laughed, leaning against the bar counter and looking at Lance's long neck. She chuckled, "You're trying to attract me with this special method? To pique my interest? And then... pursue me?"

"Would you like a vampire who keeps staring at your neck?"

"Sorry, it's just an instinct. I'm not immune to your long, sexy neck; after all, I'm a vampire."

"Why would someone like you, a high-ranking vampire, work as a bartender in such a small tavern?"

"I am the owner of this tavern."

"You've made something of yourself."

"???"

Why is he using such a complimentary tone, as if praising a junior?

"What's your name?" the vampire girl asked Lance.

West Asia.

This name isn't a pseudonym; it contains those two characters in his real name. The dragon's real name is very long.

He didn't plan to use the name Lance this time when he came to the Abyss. In the Abyss, the name Lance would easily attract the attention of some old monsters.

If those old monsters from back then found out that he had returned to the abyss, his fate would be very tragic.

The vampire girl in front of him looked somewhat like a young vampire royal he had known years ago.

It looks similar, but I'm not sure if it is.

A girl changes a lot as she grows up.

A girl might change drastically after a few years, let alone after a thousand years.

The tavern door was pushed open.

Six dashing Succubus in black and red uniforms entered the tavern with two low-ranking vampires and came before Lance.

"It was him, he was the one who stomped us into the ground, and it took you half an hour to dig us out."

"This dragon man, please come with us back to the police station."

"I don't have time, I have things to do later."

"What are you doing?"

Lance took a token out of the Diamond Cutter and tossed it to the leading Succubus sheriff.

When the leading Succubus saw the badges on the front and back of the token, her pupils contracted slightly, and disbelief appeared in her eyes.

Royal Court Judge Token?!

This token bears the emblem of their Succubus family, along with the emblems of several other major Succubus families. The token also bears the name of the dragon-human judge: Xia.
