Chapter 753, True Intent
Translator: Silavin
The Devouring Dragon King merely glanced at the Frost Dragon King with disdain. “Little one, how dare you raise your voice at me? If you hadn’t reincarnated but were still at your peak, I might actually fear you somewhat. But now? You’re not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!”
These words from the Devouring Dragon King made Lu Fan instinctively shield the Frost Dragon King, fearing that while the Devouring Dragon King might not fancy the Eggshell, she might take interest in the Baby Frost Dragon King instead.
Seeing this, the Devouring Dragon King rolled her eyes at Lu Fan. It was a gesture full of feminine charm, devoid of murderous intent.
“What are you doing? Are you actually worried I’ll eat her? Don’t worry. If I wanted to eat her, I wouldn’t have let you hatch her in the first place.”
“Compared to Baby Dragons, I actually prefer eating Dragon Eggs. Dragon Eggs have a better texture. Unlike Baby Dragons, where even the smallest Dragons have Dragon Scales and Dragon Bones that affect the taste.”
“Er…” Lu Fan relaxed slightly, then asked. “Then why did you suddenly come out?”
“Why? Because I regret it!” The Devouring Dragon King’s expression grew somewhat awkward, though she maintained her composure. Extending her hand, she generated a suction force that drew the Eggshell from Lu Fan’s grasp into her own.
The Devouring Dragon King examined the eggshell and sighed helplessly. “Originally, with my noble status, even if I did not hunt Giant Dragons, I should at least seek Dragon Eggs to devour. That would befit my identity as the Devouring Dragon King. When did I ever need to rely on Eggshells to absorb a Giant Dragon’s traits and skills?”
“But there’s no choice. The Frost Dragon King’s traits are truly powerful. Their Crowd Control is beyond what any Giant Dragon can match. If I let this opportunity slip away, I might never get the chance to devour a Frost Dragon King.”
“You must understand the difference in Bloodline purity between ordinary Giant Dragons and Dragon Kings. It is enormous. I might find other Frost Dragons to devour, but the effects would be far inferior to devouring a Frost Dragon King.”
“This Eggshell contains the Frost Dragon King’s Bloodline Power. Though diluted, if I absorb and slowly refine it, the effect will be the same as devouring a Frost Dragon King’s flesh and blood. At worst, it’ll just take more time. So, after careful consideration, I can’t miss this opportunity. Besides, you probably have no use for this Eggshell anyway, so I might as well eat it.”
Speaking thus far, the Devouring Dragon King’s beautiful eyes flashed as she glared at Lu Fan. “But you remember this, after we part ways, you’re never to mention this incident ever! Nor tell anyone that I, for the sake of gaining the Frost Dragon King’s power, ate a Baby Dragon’s Eggshell!”
Lu Fan was torn between laughter and tears, thinking that the Devouring Dragon King truly cared about her reputation, even threatening him not to reveal this Eggshell-eating incident.
Lu Fan naturally was not a gossiper. Moreover, he felt that if he said ‘sorry, I can’t keep this secret for you,’ the Devouring Dragon King would likely give him a proper thrashing.
Therefore, Lu Fan quickly promised. “Don’t worry, this matter will rot in my stomach. Would the mighty Devouring Dragon King eat Eggshells? Absolutely not!”
“Hmph, at least you’re sensible!” The Devouring Dragon King was very satisfied with Lu Fan’s response. She nodded, then turned her gaze to the Eggshell in her hand, her eyes flickering with barely contained excitement.
Clearly, the Devouring Dragon King truly coveted the Frost Dragon King’s traits and Skills.
Lu Fan had expected the Devouring Dragon King to bite and chew the Eggshell in an unladylike manner.
Instead, the Devouring Dragon King did no such thing. With a gentle squeeze of her hand, the remaining Eggshell crystallised into ice fragments like mist, which she inhaled with a light breath.
The process of consuming the Eggshell was so simple and swift.
After all the Eggshell was swallowed by the Devouring Dragon King, her body emanated a faint azure glow, as if the Bloodline Power within the Eggshell was being absorbed, gradually taking effect and granting the Devouring Dragon King new Skills and Traits.
The Devouring Dragon King felt her body and smiled.
“The Frost Dragon King’s Bloodline Power is indeed stronger than that of ordinary Giant Dragons. I feel that once I purify this Bloodline and integrate it into my own Bloodline Power, I’ll definitely master more Skills than if I had devoured an ordinary Giant Dragon.”
The Devouring Dragon King’s voice was light and cheerful, clearly in good spirits.
“However, this process requires time. During this period, I want to enter slumber first. When I awaken, my strength should increase considerably.”
Lu Fan nodded. “That’s fine. In the near future, I plan to look for a location to take the Lin Dong and grind up some Levels. I won’t be going anywhere dangerous, so you needn’t worry about me suddenly dying while you’re asleep.”
After a pause, Lu Fan added. “But since you’ll be sleeping anyway, shouldn’t I get you a Life Fruit first? If you consume a Life Fruit, it can heal your injuries during your slumber. Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?”
The Devouring Dragon King nodded. “If I could have a Life Fruit, that would naturally be best. With the Life Fruit’s assistance, I should be able to purify the Frost Dragon King’s Bloodline Power much faster.”
“However, the Life Fruit is an extremely precious item. Though the Life Dragon King is in your Territory and has agreed to let you use it, each Life Fruit can ultimately become a Giant Dragon. Are you truly willing to give it to me?”
Lu Fan chuckled. “Didn’t I already promise you before that I’d give you a Life Fruit to help you recover quickly? If I were that stingy, why would I have said such a thing?”
His expression grew more solemn. “Besides, it isn’t being given to you lightly. The Blood Moon’s Owner is about to awaken. Once your injuries heal, you’ll need to fight alongside me to slay it.”
“For such dangerous work, if I want your help, I naturally need to invest something. That’s only proper, don’t you think?”
“Haha, I understand!” The Devouring Dragon King did not stand on ceremony with Lu Fan, laughing. “Then let’s proceed as we discussed. You give me the Life Fruit, and I’ll help you kill the Blood Moon’s Owner!”
As they spoke, their relationship grew ever closer.
Compared to the previous mutual suspicion between them, the two now increasingly trusted each other.
With a Frost Dragon King having become his Pet Dragon, Lu Fan’s goal was complete. There was no need to remain in the Frost Dragon Icy Sky any longer.
Therefore, he directly opened a Transport Array and returned to Shadow Isle.
