“That’s natural. Moreover, what I mean by submission isn’t to enslave you, it's just to have you follow me. When the time comes and your soul is freed, you can regain your freedom. Additionally, if you want to follow me, I will grant you a wish.”
Upon hearing Qin Chen’s words, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon immediately perked up, lifting its head and staring at Qin Chen with shining eyes, asking in surprise, “Really?”
The gaze of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon was like that of a starving dog seeing a piece of meat, causing Qin Chen to step back in fright. After thinking for a moment, Qin Chen nodded and said, “Of course, it must be within my capabilities, and you must not do anything that harms others!”
“That’s what you said.”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon stared at Qin Chen, its eyes flickering. After a long silence, it suddenly said, “Letting me submit to you isn’t impossible. As long as you agree to one of my requests, I will let you leave and even follow you.”
Hearing this, Qin Chen was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected the Primordial Ancestral Dragon to agree so directly and readily, which surprised him. Was there some kind of trick behind it?
“Alright, you say it.”
Qin Chen said solemnly.
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon suddenly glanced at the Little Dragon beside Qin Chen. That gaze gave Qin Chen an uneasy feeling, and then he heard the Primordial Ancestral Dragon licking its tongue and saying, “This request is simple. Just let me eat the True Dragon Tribe’s younger generation that you have enslaved. I haven’t eaten for billions of years. As long as you let me eat this fellow, I will let you leave and follow you.”
It stared at the Little Dragon with a haunting gaze, like a hungry ghost looking at a feast.
The Little Dragon immediately cowered closer to Qin Chen, feeling fear emanating from its dragon soul.
Qin Chen frowned. He hadn’t expected the Primordial Ancestral Dragon to propose such a demand. The Little Dragon was his disciple from the True Dragon Tribe, and it was outrageous to even think of eating a member of its own clan.
“What do you think?”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon said coldly, “Can’t you satisfy such a small wish? How can I trust you otherwise?”
“No way!”
Qin Chen shook his head firmly, “Although the Little Dragon hasn’t been with me long, I won’t allow you to eat it. In this world, there are many venerables from various clans, including the Insect Tribe and the Demon Tribe. I can agree to let you have a feast, but not the Little Dragon.”
Hearing Qin Chen's words, the Little Dragon looked at Qin Chen with gratitude, trembling with fear.
“Why?”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon said coldly, “It’s just a useless True Dragon from your enslavement. Moreover, although he has awakened his dragon soul, his physical body hasn’t transformed. There’s still a long way to go before he truly becomes a true dragon. If you let me eat him, wouldn’t that be better than this fellow?”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon sneered.
“No means no.”
Qin Chen said coldly, “Although the Little Dragon is not as strong as you, he is my partner, and I will not agree.”
Back in the Underworld River, if it weren’t for the Little Dragon leading him into the Bermuda Triangle, he would have been trapped by others. Moreover, even though he had enslaved the Little Dragon, Qin Chen never treated it as a mere servant but as a companion.
“Then there’s nothing to discuss.”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon erupted with a terrifying killing intent, coldly staring at Qin Chen, “Hmph, I haven’t devoured a soul in billions of years. Since you won’t let me devour your soul, then let me devour one of my True Dragon Tribe’s kin. Otherwise, I will exhaust my time with you!”
Qin Chen was furious. “If that’s the case, then let’s waste time!”
Boom! An endless light of thunder surged from Qin Chen, with judgment divine thunder transforming into divine swords reaching for the sky, ready to engage in battle with the Primordial Ancestral Dragon once more.
