Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Chapter 20 20 Chapter My Turtle Friend is a Test Subject Turtle

Hearing the words "time for medicine," the Young Dragon gave a violent shudder and reflexively stood up, intending to flee.

She was indeed prepared to do just that, but an accident occurred—her dragon tail had somehow been stepped on by Turtle's foot without her noticing.

How could she run without freeing her dragon tail?

No wonder Turtle had stopped speaking earlier; he must have sensed the presence of the Evil Dragon before she did.

"Turtle, you're stepping on my dragon tail."

Turtle lifted his foot, releasing the Young Dragon's tail.

Thinking about running was unrealistic—with her current strength, she was no match for Evil Dragon Lance at all.

If she could run, she would have done so long ago. Why would she stay here for Evil Dragon Lance to covet her turtle shell?

Evil Dragon Lance's initial purpose in raising her was to have her company to relieve his boredom, but as time went on... Evil Dragon Lance's intentions changed.

He began coveting her turtle shell, wanting to use it to construct a house.

Could his massive dragon body even fit into her small shell?

What's worse, he'd spend years just circling around her, thinking about how to extract her from her shell...

It's hard to say whether to call him kindhearted or cruel.

To call him kindhearted, well, he wanted to take her shell away from her—without her shell, how could she go on living?

To call him cruel, he did promise to take away her shell without harming her life.

That shows he does have some affection for the turtle he raised.

Hmm, some affection, but not much.

Now that there was an additional Young Dragon on the island, surely Evil Dragon Lance wouldn't fixate on her shell anymore, right?

The Young Dragon was quite nice.

He had no intention of harming the Young Dragon, and the medication from Evil Dragon Lance was consumable...

That is, so long as he didn't start concocting new potions, because if he did, drinking them would definitely bring misfortune.

For the moment, there was no danger to the Young Dragon.

"Turtle seems to like you a bit. He's very hostile towards Er Gouzi, but he's quite gentle with you. Come on, drink this bowl of medicine."

"....."

This bowl of medicine?

Who has ever seen a stone bowl over three meters tall?

Is this a bowl?

It's obviously a small swimming pool!

When she was human, she could have swum inside it.

Drinking this bowl of medicine would be enough to burst her, even if there were no side effects.

"Lan... Lance, after bumping into Turtle three hundred times, I feel absolutely fantastic, strong enough to punch tigers and kick lions."

"Show some ambition, you're a Young Dragon. Your hypothetical enemies should consist of fierce and wild magical beasts like the Earth Bear."

"I feel like I could take on an Earth Bear."

"Even if you can take on an Earth Bear, you still need to take your medicine."

Lance sneered as he handed the Stone Bowl to the Young Dragon with his Dragon Claw.

To a Young Dragon, no matter how benevolent the Evil Dragon's smile might be, it looked like a sneer.

"Is it... absolutely necessary for me to drink it?"

Lucia took the Stone Bowl and immediately smelled the unique scent of medicinal herbs; she also noted the strangely eerie color of the medicine, a dark green.

This color of medicine liquid... it looked just like poison...

If she were in the Human World, and a Pharmacist asked her to drink medicine of this color, she'd surely find a guinea pig for a test first...

Who knew if the Pharmacist was a crony of the stinking princess...

She didn't even know if there were any guinea pigs on the island. If there were... no, that wouldn't work... She couldn't go to sleep so early tonight; she had to catch a few rats and have them test the medicine.

"Don't worry, drink up. Turtle has been taking my medicine since he was young, and look, after all these years, not only has he not had any problems, but he's also grown bigger and bigger."

"....."

The Young Dragon grew even more fearful. Turtle had just relayed half of his tragic experiences... Just half had already given her palpitations...

Turtle grew so big precisely because he was tough as nails.

To drink?

Or not to drink?

What a dilemma.

If she didn't drink, the Evil Dragon would definitely be displeased, and he might even feel that she, the Young Dragon, didn't trust him.

But if she drank it, what if she suddenly grew dragon wings on her head?

Drink up.

Trust that Evil Dragon Lance obtained his senior Pharmacist certificate through skill and didn't buy a fake one.

In the Human World, there are plenty of people who sell fake certificates.

With the right amount of money, you can get any kind of fake certificate you want.

The medicinal liquid in the bowl wasn't as much as she had imagined, but it wasn't a small amount either, at least more than half a bowl full.

The Young Dragon closed its vertical pupils and, with a 'gulp gulp gulp,' drank the dark green liquid from the Stone Bowl in one breath.

"Drink... drink... burp.... finished drinking...."

Lucia returned the Stone Bowl to the Evil Dragon to check.

"Quite brave."

Lance put away the Stone Bowl and stroked the Young Dragon's bare head with his Dragon Claw.

Praising the Young Dragon, he took out a nicely carved... and even colored Majestic Heavenly Dragon from the Vajra Ring, showing it to the Young Dragon.

"Look, what is this?"

"Human."

"....."

Asked a redundant question.

"Right, it's a human, and he is also an extraordinary being, a monk by profession. A monk with profound cultivation and great strength is referred to as a 'Buddha'."

"Fu."

"Buddha, follow my reading, fo, Buddha, the Buddha of Buddha's Disciple."

"Fu, the fu of Buddha's Disciple."

What do you do when you encounter a Young Dragon with a unique accent?

It's not that she can't read; the problem is with her accent.

The word 'Buddha' automatically becomes 'Fu' when she reads it.

How to solve the problem with accent?

Have her hold a pearl in her mouth?

Let's give it a try.

At night, give her a pearl to hold in her mouth and see if she can pronounce 'Buddha' correctly.

If that doesn't work... fu it is then....

Lance gave up, as the accent issue couldn't be improved in a short time; you can't expect to teach the Young Dragon to speak Mandarin just because of her accent, right?

Long-lived species aren't short on time; take it slow.

"Would you like to go for some afternoon tea?"

The Young Dragon shook her head, having just drunk a large bowl of medicine, she didn't want to drink anything for the time being.

The Evil Dragon sure has a sense of ceremony, afternoon tea....

Evil Dragons in the legends never had such leisure...

Instead of having afternoon tea, they'd rather sleep, kidnap princesses, or court princesses.

"Then you're free to do as you please; if you feel unwell, come find me in the courtyard."

"Got it."

As she watched the Evil Dragon leave, Lucia grimaced and stretched her Dragon body, squatting next to the Turtle's head, wanting to continue her chat with Turtle.

Being with the Evil Dragon was too stressful; she felt no pressure being with Turtle.

"Turtle, let me ask you something. Are there any field mice... or rats on the island?"

"Under normal circumstances, where there's an Evil Dragon, there absolutely wouldn't be any birds or beasts around. Evil Dragon Lance is different; he conceals his Dragon might and breath, so there might be some birds and beasts on the island.

Why do you ask? Even if there are field mice and rats on the island, they haven't awakened their intelligence, and catching one to entertain you would be pointless."

"I don't need them for entertainment; just to test my medicine will do."

"...."

To test medicine...

Turtle recalled its tragic and somewhat legendary Turtle life... Its Turtle life began with testing medicine for the Evil Dragon....

"Lucia, I need to correct what I said before. Most medicines from the Evil Dragon can be drunk; you just need to be careful with the new medicines developed by Evil Dragon Lance. He only has a rough idea of what effects the new medicine might have, as for any adverse reactions after drinking it, he can't foresee them at all....

My luck was worse than yours; I met Evil Dragon Lance too early. Back then, he had nothing, and whatever he learned, he tested on me first....

You're different, the medicines you're drinking now have been optimized over and over again by him, they're very safe and won't cause adverse reactions.

Still, try not to drink the new medicines developed by Evil Dragon Lance."

The Young Dragon showed a troubled expression, "Turtle, if the Evil Dragon develops new medicine and I don't drink it... will he ask you to test it?"

"...."
