Lance Was Pure, Adorable, Guileless, and Held No Grudges-Don't Bully Him

When she saw her viscount, she almost thought he was dead. If she hadn't known that her viscount was powerful enough to defeat Pure-Blooded Dragon, and that he couldn't have died silently in the palace, she would have panicked long ago.

Actually, she was still a little panicked. The Viscount was in a deep sleep and had not woken up. Little Dragon Highness had disappeared. When she came to the Dragon God Temple to find Little Dragon Highness, she found a black dragon cub that had grown larger.

The black dragon cub looked exactly like the little Little Dragon Highness Little Dragon Highness, except for the color of its body.

Oh, the look in your eyes is slightly different.

This young dragon, who calls himself the Black Dragon Cub, likes to look at people sideways. His Highness the Little Dragon, however, never looks at people Little Dragon Highness. His Little Dragon Highness's eyes are clear, bright, and very gentle.

Even so, she still believed that the black dragon cub was the Little Dragon Highness, because the black dragon cub had Lucky Coin around its neck that only the Little Dragon Highness possessed.

Little Dragon Highness never takes off this Lucky Coin; she has never seen Little Dragon Highness remove it.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Since His Little Dragon Highness is unwilling to admit that he is His Little Dragon Highness, she will temporarily treat Little Dragon Highness cub.

It's strange, really.

Despite the fact that black dragons are known for their ferocity and tyranny, she never felt that way when she saw the black dragon beside Little Dragon Highness; in fact, she felt a sense of familiarity with it.

The Viscount was fast asleep, and her first thought was to seek help from the Black Dragon. Normally, she should have looked for the priests of the temple.

It was strange, but she felt that the black dragon would neither harm the Viscount nor Saint Blue.

She didn't feel this way when facing other dragons; in fact, she would assume the worst about them.

Setting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Ticia's eyes revealed a pleading look; she didn't understand anything about Astral Projection.

She hoped that Black Dragon could personally visit the Prince's Palace to see the Viscount, who was still fast asleep.

"Black Dragon Lord, I still hope you can go and see our Viscount to confirm his symptoms, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Ticia again asked Lance to go to the royal palace.

The Bronze Dragon Melbourne and the Nightmare Dragon Colon also shifted their attention from the young dragons to Ticia.

Human Lance (the filthy thing) is in a deep sleep? How could a powerhouse of his level be in such a deep sleep? Besides, that person came to the Dragon God Temple yesterday.

The Nightmare Dragon Colon glanced at the Black Dragon instinctively. He had looked at the Black Dragon in the mirror; the Black Dragon's soul was a dragon soul.

The soul of the filthy thing is still human.

After the black dragon appeared, he took out the mirror again to examine the soul of the evil thing and confirmed that the evil thing was a human.

The powerful, filthy thing remained asleep, and he became interested. "Take me to see him. Don't worry, I won't take this opportunity to harm your Viscount of Saint Blue. I just want to see if he's truly asleep or trapped in a dream."

"I can control other people's dreams, and naturally, beings stronger than me can also control others' dreams. If your Viscount is trapped in the dream of some powerful being, I might have a way to awaken him."

"I'll go too. I want to see what kind of being could harm that human so silently."

Melbourne got up; he was going to see the sleeping Human Lance. As for the black dragon cub, he was certain it was the one raised by Human Lance.

The black dragon's intentions are unclear at the moment, but it doesn't matter. The dragon cub raised by Human Lance is not strong enough to pose a threat to the young dragons of Dragon Island.

Perhaps the Black Dragon intended to have the dragon cub raised by the Human Lance test the strength of the young dragons on Dragon Island first, so as to continue hiding his child.

Let's go check on the unconscious Human Lance, first.

And what about this "Astral Projection" Astral Projection? He'd never heard of it before.

He didn't know where Taixu was.

It sounds like a mysterious, sacred place.

Let's go take a look and see.

Lance that the Nightmare Dragon Colon and the Bronze Dragon Melbourne had both gotten up, Lance grinned and got up as well. "Alright, since you're worried, I'll go with you to the palace to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lance's dragon body shrank to a little over two meters, transforming into a dragon-human form.

The Nightmare Dragon Colon has transformed into a middle-aged man with gray hair.

"Thank you, Black Dragon Lord. Please follow me."

Ticia led Lance to the royal palace, with Melbourne and the evil dragon Kelong following behind.

Before shrinking, the baby dragon Lucia noticed that the Little Fatty Dragon Wells was staring at her. She took out a pineapple-shaped fruit from her Lucky Coin, grinned at the Little Fatty Dragon, and threw it at him.

The Little Fatty Dragon Wells instinctively caught it with its claws and squeezed it hard.

Thud—

The fruit exploded, and a stench instantly filled the air. The unsuspecting Little Fatty Dragon, Wells, was immediately overwhelmed by the Stink Bomb, his eyes watering and his nose running. He coughed incessantly, and even felt like he was about to suffocate from the stench—

Little Fatty Dragon Wells gagged.

"I advise you not to vomit. This is the Dragon God Temple. If you dare to vomit here, you will be blaspheming the Dragon God."

Little Fatty Dragon Wells gripped his neck with his claws, glanced at the evil dragon with red eyes, and then flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

The stench emanating from the Stink Bomb shot into the sky along with the Little Fatty Dragon.

Upon seeing this, the young dragon grinned.

Let you gang up on me, you bastard! I may not be as powerful as the dragon, but I have all sorts of Source Power Item made by the dragon.

This is Stink Bomb disguised as fruit. The gas inside the Stink Bomb is the gas from some kind of Source Beast.

It's unclear how the evil dragon managed to collect the "qi" from these Source Beast and seal it inside a fruit-shaped container.

It stinks.

Once you get this stench on your body, it won't come off for at least ten days to two weeks.

Hehe, let's be a stinky dragon for ten days or half a month.

The young dragon glanced at the Little Fatty Dragon had disappeared into the horizon, then skipped and hopped after the black dragon to the palace.

Melbourne's eyes twitched slightly at the sight. His son had actually been tricked by the black dragon cub. For the first time, he doubted whether he had really made a mistake.

The baby dragon that Human Lance raised wasn't so mean; it was even a bit timid and simple-minded.

This black dragon cub is quite bold and has a rather wicked personality.

Had he admitted his mistake? Melbourne glanced at the black dragon cub again, then looked away, deciding not to pursue the matter further for the time being.

The daughter of the evil dragon Kelong instinctively moved away from the baby dragon, her face showing wariness; she had just smelled that stench.

If that stench landed on her, she would probably die from the stench.

Because her mother was an elf, she also inherited the elf's obsessive cleanliness.

The black dragon cub has a somewhat wicked personality, but it's okay. It's best not to speak ill of her.

The evil dragon Kelong glanced back and grinned at the baby dragon.

The second floor of the Prince's Mansion.

Led by Ingrid, the Black Dragon, Melbourne, the Evil Kelong, and the Young Dragon appeared one after another in Lance's bedroom.

"Black Dragon Lord, could you please check if our Viscount has truly gone to that Taixu you just mentioned?"

The black dragon walked to the bedside of [Human Lance], placed its dragon claw under [Human Lance]'s nose, and then withdrew its dragon claw. "My guess was right, he did indeed go into Astral Projection. This state will last for a while. As for when he will wake up, I don't know. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe the day after that, or ten days or half a month later, or maybe a month later."

As for when he will wake up, that depends on when he returns from the void. It's not a big problem; just take good care of his body.

After telling Ticia the prepared explanation, the black dragon moved away from the bedside and gave way.

"Kelong and Melbourne, you two should go and take a look too."

Melbourne walked to the bedside and touched the forehead of [Human Lance]. He had body temperature; he wasn't dead.

His complexion was rosy and radiant, and he didn't seem to have suddenly contracted any strange illness. Furthermore, he didn't sense Curse Power from the Human Lance, so he probably wasn't cursed either.

It is unclear why the Human Lance has fallen into a coma.

Perhaps, as the Black Dragon said, he has truly gone on Astral Projection.

The problem is that he had never heard of anything called Taixu.

"Kelong, come and take a look."

The evil dragon Kelong was already watching. He took out a mirror and looked at the Human Lance lying on the bed. He was shocked when he saw it.

There was nothing in the mirror.

Where is the soul? Where did the soul of the filthy thing go?

Dead?

Did they go to hell?

Judging from the dirty thing's face, it didn't look dead.

He stepped forward, pushed Melbourne aside, and placed his hand under the Human Lance's nose. He was breathing.

He touched Lance's face again; it was warm.

He's not dead.

Where did the soul go?

We can't really go to that Taixu that the Black Dragon mentioned, can we?

"His soul is not in his body."

"What do you mean his soul isn't in his body?" Melbourne glanced at Lance. "You mean his soul is missing?"

"Yes." The evil dragon Kelong put away the mirror. "I didn't see his soul in the mirror. There are only three possibilities for this: First, he's dead. Second, his soul was taken away by something. Third, his soul went to that void in the black dragon's mouth."

Upon hearing the words of the evil dragon Kelong, Ticia and Ingrid felt their vision go black and nearly fainted.

The Viscount's soul is gone... Doesn't that mean he's dead? The soul leaves the body only after death.

This is common sense.

Black Dragon Lord said that the Viscount went on Astral Projection. Could he be lying to them?

Ticia was a knight, and she quickly regained her composure. At that moment, she preferred to believe that the Viscount had gone into the Astral Projection rather than that he was dead.

She gently patted Ingrid's shoulder, signaling her not to be too nervous. "The Viscount is so strong, no one can steal his soul silently. Don't forget, the Viscount was blessed by the Dragon God."

Our royal palace still guards the Dragon God Temple, and no evil spirit dares to steal our Viscount's soul in front of the Dragon God Statue.

"Astral Projection Our Viscount must have gone on Astral Projection. We must trust Black Dragon Lord."

At this point, Ticia chose to believe the black dragon's explanation.

Because the Little Dragon Highness, disguised as a black dragon cub, did not panic and showed no unusual expression.

The evil dragons of Kelong and Melbourne also turned their attention to the black dragon.

The soul of Human Lance has disappeared.

The black dragon said that the Human Lance had gone on Astral Projection.

His nonchalant attitude suggests something. It suggests that the Black Dragon may have witnessed the Human Lance's Astral Projection before.

"Black Dragon, his soul is gone. Is it because his spirit wandered into some void that his soul left his body and disappeared?"

"Yes, haven't heard of it before? Do you find it amazing? The cultivation method he practices is different from the cultivation methods in the human world. When he cultivates his method to a certain level, he can let his primordial spirit leave his body and go to the void to visit relatives and friends."

???

What the heck? First it was "Astral Projection," and now it's "astral projection"? Melbourne had no idea. How could a prehistoric dragon like him, who had lived for over ten thousand years, have never heard of these two terms before?

Melbourne was also stunned. The phrase "astral projection" gave him a very strong and powerful feeling.

"Could you tell us about this astral projection?"

"You can understand astral projection as the soul leaving the body. It means that the soul leaves the body and goes out to play. Without the constraints of the body, the soul can go anywhere it wants to go. Wherever there are friends, it can go.

As for the "Great Void" in the Astral Projection, I don't know where this place is. Since it involves cultivation techniques of this level, I shouldn't ask too much. I only know that it is very magical.

You might not believe it, but once, he came to see me for tea and a chat. At first, I thought it was his real body. It wasn't until we were about to part that I realized it was his spirit that had come, while his true body was sleeping somewhere.

It was then that I learned that he could astral projection. He told me that when his spirit left his body, he could see many unclean things that we couldn't see, and sometimes he would even accidentally enter some strange, bizarre, and dangerous places.

Going down might lead you astray into hell, while going up is dangerous; it's said you'll be struck by lightning, and sometimes you can even hear sacred voices.

If you enter the void, what other indescribable things will you see? He is the strongest, most mysterious, and least ambitious human I have ever met.

However, he's a very good person. He's always ready to help those in need and is willing to spread his teachings. He's just too simple-minded, without any guile, and never holds grudges. So, please don't bully him in the future.

???

Wait, what did the black dragon say? Did he say that Human Lance (the dirty thing) was innocent?

Is he guileless? Doesn't hold grudges? Melbourne conjured up an image of Human Lance, holding a glass jar as thick as his dragon arm and pouring his dragon blood into it.

Would a naive human use such a large glass jar to bleed a dragon?

In the mind of the evil dragon Kelong, there was an image of the Human Lance pretending to be weak, teaming up with deep-sea monsters to attack him and devour his territory. "Black dragon, are you sure your last few sentences were describing this human lying in bed? And not the Amethyst Dragonling that Human Lance raised?"

If your last few sentences describe the Amethyst Dragonling he raised, I won't object. But if you're describing this human, I can only say one thing: his heart is as filthy as the color of your dragon body.

???

You're using veiled criticism to insult someone else, aren't you?
