Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Chapter 83: Who did this?

"I am the mighty Ocean Dragon King, after all..." Despite her verbal resistance, it was clear that the little dragon was starting to waver inside.

"It's just for one year, and you'll get a Golden Scale Dragon Carp too. Just one year. You have to give me the Golden Scale Dragon Carp..." Meanwhile, Timothy's voice was like a siren's call, tempting her relentlessly.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp." The little dragon couldn't help but swallow several times.

Just then, Timothy suddenly pulled out the Golden Scale Dragon Carp and waved it in front of her a couple of times.

The enticing aroma and the pure dragon essence related to the source of dragon blood overwhelmed her, and finally, her last line of defense was completely shattered.

"Alright, it's just one year. I, the Dragon King, can bend and stretch. Is one year really going to make a difference? Let me go, I agree to be your mount for a year!" The little dragon sounded reluctant, but she finally managed to say it, swallowing her pride.

"Great, then please sign this contract." Timothy quickly pulled out some paper and a pen and drafted a contract.

A trace of Cosmic Aura swept over it, carrying the majestic authority of the heavens.

This contract, sanctioned by the heavens, would bring severe repercussions if breached. Not only would the violator's cultivation not advance, but their very foundation would crumble, pushing them to the brink of collapse.

"You're really going all out! And where did you even get this contract from?" The little dragon, holding back her resentment, finally let go of her pride and dripped a drop of dragon blood on the contract.

A whiff of heavenly aura swept over, and the contract was sealed.

"Good, I'll get you out now." Timothy nodded in satisfaction and tucked the contract away.

He grabbed the two iron chains, and with a skill he had exchanged from the system store, all protective measures and restrictions were as nothing before him.

"Crack, crack."

The chains, once as solid and tough as rock, were no match for Timothy's strength.

With another strong pull, both chains snapped abruptly.

"Finally free!" The little dragon was ecstatic, her eyes almost sparkling with light.

A blinding white light covered her dragon form, and as the light twisted, her body gradually transformed.

When the light faded, standing there was a charming and slightly mischievous little girl, her dragon horns not intimidating in the slightest but rather adding to her cute, dorky charm.

"My name is Azura, the noble Ocean Dragon King. But since you've saved me and we've signed a contract, I'll fulfill my promise and reluctantly serve as your pet for one year. Remember, it's just for one year. If you break the contract, don't blame me for eating you!" Azura huffed, her tone slightly reproachful.

Timothy was stunned.

"Holy crap, where's my mount? My grand and majestic, dragon-scaled beast? How did it end up like this? I want a refund!"

Timothy, completely baffled, pointed at Azura: "How did you turn into this?"

"This is what I normally look like." Azura swayed her delicate yet slender body. "Being in dragon form is so cumbersome,I much prefer my human form. Plus, I'm only a little over two hundred years old. For a dragon, that's very young, so naturally, my human form looks like this."

Noticing Timothy's bewildered expression, Azura swayed her petite body, looking a bit anxious: "Let's hurry up and go. I can already feel three powerful beings from Ocean's Gate approaching. Aren't you going to ride me? Hurry up."

"..." Timothy was mentally collapsing.

Not to mention whether he could actually ride her, if anyone misunderstood their conversation and scene, they might think he deserved to be locked up!

This whole situation was just criminal!

Just then, Timothy suddenly sensed two terrifying presences approaching from the horizon.

One of them was only a few dozen miles away.

The powerful beings from Ocean's Gate stationed in the Phoenix Kingdom were almost upon them!

And there were two of them!

They had to hurry, or it might be too late.

Timothy grabbed Azura by the collar and yanked her up.

Azura looked utterly confused. "Weren't you supposed to ride me? How come I'm on top now?"

"You can eat more food, but watch your words!" Timothy replied, clearly exasperated as he glanced at her.

With a sudden burst of strength from his feet, his figure shot forward.

Riding the wind, his speed far surpassed any Mystic Core cultivator.

However, the nearest powerful aura seemed to have sensed Timothy too, and its speed abruptly increased.

At the Ocean's Gate realm, one opens their spiritual sea to connect with the universe, granting them terrifyingly powerful abilities that quickly closed the distance between them.

If this continued, it was only a matter of time before they caught up.

Suddenly, Timothy halted mid-air, grabbing Azura by the collar with his left hand while his right hand conjured a fierce whirlwind.

"Enlightenment Body, Noggin Knocker!"

With a thunderous punch, he struck thousands of feet into the sky.

Suddenly, a gigantic fist formed from the whirlwind crashed down.

The Ocean's Gate pursuer felt a chill down his spine,even he dared not take this punch head-on.

He quickly raised his arms, gathering a massive amount of spiritual power to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

The massive impact released a tremendous shockwave in the air.

Though the giant fist dissipated, the subtle yet profound aura it left behind made the Ocean's Gate cultivator pause in shock.

This aura... it's Enlightenment Body!

The prince?

No.

He could tell that this punch came from someone else.

But who could it be? In this world, besides the prince, how could there be another with the Enlightenment Body!

Snapping back to reality, he quickly looked ahead.

But seizing just that moment of opportunity, Timothy had already vanished to who knows where.

His presence faded abruptly, becoming invisible and untraceable, leaving the Ocean's Gate cultivator no choice but to give up the chase.

Now, the most important thing was the Dragon Blood Formation!

He couldn't afford any more delays and hurriedly flew towards the cave.

But the moment he looked down at the cave from above, his mind exploded.

The ground was littered with ruins and flames.

Many Mystic Core cultivators stationed there lay groaning on the ground, many already lifeless.

Such a formidable group of warriors, all completely defeated!

"Where's the prince? Where's the prince?"

He frantically searched with wide eyes, only to find Nolan's cold corpse in front of the cave.

His soul shattered, his body destroyed, Nolan's death was gruesomely tragic, hinting at a brutal massacre.

"Who did this? Who could have done this!" The Ocean's Gate cultivator bellowed in rage to the heavens, his eyes wild with fury.
