Lance, If I Disappeared One Day, Would You Feel Lonely?

Lance looked at the extraordinary potions and sprays on the coffee table and fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should accept the young dragon's "filial piety."

If I accept this act of filial piety, and if my future self remembers this scene, I might actually feel a little guilty when I beat up the young dragon.

If he didn't accept this "filial piety" and let Youlong take it back himself, he was afraid of hurting Youlong's self-esteem and dampening his enthusiasm.

To accept or not to accept?

These extraordinary potions are not very useful to him. With his current abilities, as long as he doesn't recklessly challenge those well-known powerhouses or old monsters, and doesn't try to become some kind of evil dragon, he should be at least safe from injury.

I glanced at the baby dragon again.

The young dragon was grinning at him, its purple-gold vertical pupils full of expectation. It seemed that the young dragon really wanted him to accept this "filial piety".

"Hmm, that's it." After a moment's hesitation, Lance organized his thoughts and asked the young dragon, "Does my future self really like beating you up?"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, you keep hitting my head with so much force."

As the young dragon spoke, she gestured with her claws, drawing a huge circle with her two claws to express the force with which the evil dragon would beat her in the future.

Lance almost laughed. Was the young dragon complaining to his underage self about his future adult self? This complaint was completely useless; he couldn't control his future self now.

"That force was indeed a bit too much."

Lance smiled and put away the baby dragon's "filial piety".

You should accept gifts from your children.

As for how much force to use when beating up a baby dragon in the future, we'll see then.

"You accepted it!!!"

"Um."

"So, does that mean you agree not to hit me so hard in the future?"

Before answering your question, may I ask you one?

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

The young dragon was somewhat excited. With the promise of a minor dragon, she could stand back in the original timeline, put her hands on her hips, and loudly proclaim to the dragon. "When you were a minor, you took my word for it and promised not to hit me so hard!"

"Why don't you just tell me in the future not to beat you up?"

"I think it's a bit unrealistic."

"Isn't it because we didn't think of that?"

"I'm not as stupid as you think, okay? I've eaten the Wisdom Fruit!"

Wisdom Fruit? I'd heard of it before coming to the Abyss. It's a magical fruit that grows on the Holy Mountain of the God of Light's Court. However, the God of Light Court fell apart because the statue of the God of War was taken away by a shameless scoundrel.

With the help of followers of other gods, as well as some kingdoms and empires in the human world, all the statues of the chief gods were invited to the sacred mountains where the chief gods resided.

"Don't mention eating the Wisdom Fruit in the Abyss."

"Why?"

"Because some Demon Race with low intelligence think that eating you will make them smarter. You see, you became smarter after eating the Wisdom Fruit. When the Demon Race with low intelligence find out about this, they will think that since they can't eat the Wisdom Fruit, they will eat you, who has eaten the Wisdom Fruit, which is also a way of indirectly eating the Wisdom Fruit."

They'll definitely become smarter, so don't tell anyone outside that you've eaten the Wisdom Fruit.

The young dragon instinctively covered its mouth with its claws and nodded vigorously.

She never imagined that there were such savage and bloodthirsty Demon Race in the abyss.

"Alright, go read a book for a while and then go to sleep."

"Um, Lance, I have a question."

"Ask."

"What good will it do me to learn Devil Language and Devil Language? I have no intention of staying in the abyss for long."

"There are advantages. One day in the future, when you communicate with demons in fluent Devil Language, they won't be able to deceive you. If you work hard enough, you might even learn a few demon spells before you leave here."

"Oh."

Young Dragon felt that even if she learned the demon race's writing and language, she would never have any interaction with demons in the future.

Yes, after returning to the human world, there will be absolutely no interaction with demons.

She still wants to return to the Farolyn Empire to become emperor.

Smelly Imperial Sister Asina, just wait, the day she returns will be the day she becomes the Empress of the Farolyn Empire.

Wait, she has now returned to a time when the evil dragon Lance didn't know her yet.

If she warned the evil dragon Lance not to pass through the Farolyn Empire in the future, could she change her fate of being taken away by the dragon as a young dragon? If she wasn't taken away by the dragon, shouldn't her fate be to escape the empire?

That possibility seems rather small. Judging from the situation that day, it's more likely that I was caught and imprisoned by my Smelly Imperial Sister Asina.

That guy might even prevent Eva from lifting the curse for his own twisted sense of humor.

In that case, it would be better to be taken away by the evil dragon as a young dragon.

At least if she's taken away by the dragon, she won't be restricted in her freedom.

Moreover, staying by the side of the evil Lance allows one to passively learn many powerful skills.

The reason you don't want to be taken away by the dragon is because you don't like the dragon.

The young dragon raised its head and began to think.

She never seemed to hate the dragon from beginning to end.

I was just terrified.

Would you be happy if your future self didn't encounter the evil dragon?

I don't think I'll be very happy.

The days spent beside the dragon weren't so bad or so boring.

If her current actions truly changed her fate and altered future history, the young dragon imagined a scenario where, after becoming a young dragon, she wasn't taken away by the evil dragon Lance.

Transformed into a baby dragon, imprisoned by the Smelly Imperial Sister Asina, luckily escaped the capital, and then... ate grass?

She couldn't cook before she encountered the dragon.

If you can't cook, what do you do when you're hungry? You eat grass, fruit, and all sorts of random foods. The result of eating haphazardly is that you might get food poisoning.

What kind of life would Lance, the dragon who had no further contact with her, Lance now? In the morning, the dragon might brew a cup of tea, sit in a rocking chair, and read a book while drinking tea.

Lunch break.

In the afternoon, the dragon would probably go fishing at the beach in his spare time. He would take a fishing rod, squat on the sand, and fish all afternoon, and then... come up empty-handed.

Why the Air Force?

Because he did not use the "Young Dragon Brand" bait.

At night, they either lie on the giant rocks enjoying the sea breeze, or they probably sleep in the dragon's nest.

If it rains, he'll probably squat in the pavilion, listening to the raindrops falling on banana leaves, trees, and flowers. After the rain, accompanied by Er Gouzi, he'll go to the fields to pick vegetables, corn, beans, and other crops. Without her, the fake baby dragon, the daily life of the evil dragon Lance is still leisurely and comfortable, but it always feels like... such an evil dragon must be lonely sometimes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I wonder if you'll feel lonely and isolated if I disappear one day."

"???"

A look of surprise appeared in Lance's red vertical pupils. He hadn't expected that the seemingly simple-minded young dragon would be thinking about such a slightly profound question.

"You should ask my future self that question."

"I won't ask. I think I might get beaten up if I do."

If she were to actually ask the 3,456-year-old dragon, he would think she might be experiencing mild depression, or even that she was just making a fuss over nothing.

In that case, the dragon would punch her twice, making her feel pain, and then laugh and tell her that the pain had driven away the negative emotions in her body.

Just to be on the safe side, they might even throw a few Light Scroll at her. "If you ask like that, the chances of getting beaten up are indeed very high."

"."

The baby dragon grinned; she knew this would be the outcome.

Dragons think differently than humans.

I'm going to bed.

"Go."

Just as the young dragon stood up, Lance's voice rang in her ear again. "Remember to think about how to get back when you have some free time."

"Huh? I want to? Isn't it you who wants to?"

"."

Lance remained silent; the young dragon was quite dependent on him.

Could it be that in the young dragon's heart, he is omnipotent, a "god"? The Demon God's Eye is now a divine object in the myths and legends of the Abyss, and no one has been heard of having seen this divine object yet.

"Hey, I'll do my best to unravel the mystery of the [Demon God's Eye], don't worry."

"Then good luck."

Youlong went to sleep. Before going to sleep, she did a set of Life Nurturing Exercise, which she has now made a habit.

She slept soundly.

With Lance around, even though Lance was still a minor, she felt at ease.

Nothing was said that night.

Early the next morning.

After finishing her early morning Life Nurturing Exercise, the young dragon rested for a moment, then took the Devil Language textbook that Lance had given her, went to the second-floor balcony, and began to read aloud "The Xiao Ke Dou Zhao Ma Ma".

After reading "The Xiao Ke Dou Zhao Ma Ma," she read a few more short stories.

Then the morning class ended with a children's song, "Let Us Swing Our Oars".

Singing this nursery rhyme in the language of demons is quite difficult; if it were sung in human language, the young dragon thinks she would sing it beautifully.

After all, she was Imperial Princess who had systematically studied music.

It's just that it has never been shown.

After stumbling through the first time, Youlong sang it a second time, then a third time. On the fifth time, Youlong was surprised to find that the lyrics she sang would occasionally materialize into reality. This terrified her.

She ran downstairs and told Lance about her terrifying discovery.

Lance told her it was normal, because the nursery rhyme could create illusions.

The young dragon was dumbfounded.

The evil dragon's demon textbook is actually a textbook with extraordinary magic power. He's already this powerful before he's even an adult. No wonder he dared to provoke Deep Sea Siren of the Octopus Girl's level after he grew up. His breakfast is meat buns and wontons.

After breakfast, follow the dragon to the Demon Academy.

On the way to the Demon Academy, the young dragon saw many demons flying towards the academy, as well as many strange-looking Demon Race, such as pink bats and angels with black wings.

An angel?! A legendary Fallen Angel?! The Demon Academy actually has a legendary Fallen Angel?! Fallen Angel?! Those are creatures from mythology! As powerful, beautiful, and handsome as angels! "Lance Lance, was that... was that an angel that just flew by?"

"He is Fallen Angel."

"Are you stronger? Or are the Fallen Angel stronger?"

"The Fallen Angel are strong. They call themselves the ' God Race,' but their ancestors were indeed the ' God Race.' As for them, they can only be considered half ' God Race,' but they are still very strong."

Fallen Angel frequently clash with demons. When they fight, don't get involved; their battles can easily affect innocent bystanders.

"Oh, oh, oh."

Seeing that the young dragon was interested in the strange-looking Demon Race, Lance, having nothing else to do, decided to tell the young dragon about the races of the Demon Race he had seen.

This will allow the young dragon to gain a general understanding of the Abyss Demon Race.

Perhaps we should compile an "Abyssal Demon Illustrated Handbook" and give it to the young dragon so she can gradually learn about them.

It's time for class.

The dragon was listening attentively to the lesson.

The demon princess Christine has a poor concentration in class; she occasionally glances at the dragon.

The vampire princess couldn't concentrate in class; she kept glancing at Christine and then at the dragon.

There was also a girl with an eerie and alluring appearance; she was the Succubus.

She would occasionally glance at the dragon, but not as frequently as Princess Christine, and the way she looked at the dragon seemed somewhat disdainful.

She puffed out her cheeks in disgust at the baby dragon; she was angry.

The Succubus disliked the dragon, which angered her.

Having never seen the true face of the dragon, the Succubus queen probably has no idea how beautiful the dragon would be in human form.

Who knows how powerful the future dragon will be?

They even looked down on the dragon, saying it was inferior to the demon princess Christine, who had excellent taste.

There were also some young Demon Race who didn't look at the dragon with friendly eyes either.

When the dragon was studying in the abyss, his situation was truly dire.

After class, the vampire royalty approached the evil dragon, intending to sign a [Familiar] contract with it.

She also said that if the evil dragon became her "familiar," she would make it leap to become a high-ranking Demon Race.

The dragon said that if she wanted him to become her familiar, she could summon him during the Familiar Summoning class. If she could get him to appear in the Familiar Summoning circle, he would become her familiar.

The dragon also said that Familiar Summoning class, he would try to summon the vampire princess. If he managed to summon her from the Familiar Summoning circle, he would try to sign a familiar contract with her.

The young dragon thought the evil dragon was incredibly bold. Not only did it venture into the abyss alone, but it also dared to confront the royal family's provocations upon entering the Demon Academy, even suggesting that the princess become its familiar. It was reprimanded for this.

The dragon was rebuked by the followers of the vampire princess.

The evil dragon didn't tolerate them either, and went up and gave them a good beating. The followers, with bruised and swollen faces, lay on the ground howling in pain.

The third lesson is the [Summoning Lesson].

The professor taught how to summon familiars.

"Nicholas Teacher, I think this Amethyst Dragonling would be perfect as a summoning creature. Can I try to summon her as a familiar?"

The baby dragon, who was sleeping on her desk, opened her eyes when she heard the words "Amethyst Dragonling." She groggily glanced around and found that all the young Demon Race in the classroom were looking at her.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

"Young dragon, would you like to become my familiar?"

???

Familiar?

She doesn't want to be a demon's familiar—no, Succubus's familiar!

"If you keep saying that to me, I... I'm going to beat you up!"

Her Lucky Coin also contain quite a few useful items for self-defense.
