Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 831 - 832: Obsession

At times like this, one should give precious gifts!

It was obvious to anyone that Lady Kalina was very fond of her sister! She attached great importance to this banquet! If the gift could gain the favor of Miss Yuan’er or the recognition of Lady Kalina, then our Ice Dragon Clan’s future would be smooth sailing? Becoming a great existence in the Forest, second only to the Abyssal Demons?

Ha! Hahaha, Robo, Baling, you two are such fools. I can’t believe you fell for my nonsense so easily.

If other races send ordinary gifts, our Dragon Orb will undoubtedly steal the show, and I will become the brightest star of the event, surely winning the hearts of Lady Kalina and Miss Yuan’er.

But don’t worry.

Once our Ice Dragon Clan rises to power, we definitely won’t bully you.

As his scheme neared its final stages, a self-satisfied grin slowly spread across Xindi’s face.

However,

after waiting for a long time,

the praise from Kalina that Xindi anticipated did not come. Instead, Kalina’s response was nothing more than ordinary:

"Oh, a Dragon Orb? Not bad. I’ll accept it on behalf of my sister."

"Huh? What?"

Surprised by the unexpected reaction, Xindi raised his head in confusion, watching Kalina take the Dragon Orb from his hand and casually toss it into a small house nearby, adding it to the pile of gifts inside...

The anticipated compliments and rewards never came.

Huh?

What?

How... how could this be her reaction?

Xindi was utterly perplexed. However, upon seeing the pile of gifts inside the small house, he instantly understood everything, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Those... those are?!"

At this moment, the ordinary small wooden house was filled with countless bright red fruits. Xindi recognized them at a glance as Crimson Blood Fruits, not only delicious but also capable of enhancing one’s physique and spiritual power. They were among the most precious and rare fruits on the continent. The value of such a large collection of Crimson Blood Fruits was unimaginable.

In the vast Winter Great Forest, the only place capable of growing Crimson Blood Fruits was the territory of the Magic Bear Clan... The origin of these fruits needed no explanation.

Amidst the cluster of Crimson Blood Fruits, a set of armor emanating a strong cursed power also caught the eye. The knowledgeable Xindi quickly realized that this was the treasure armor of the Undead Clan, "Dawn of the Broken Soul"!

At this moment, Xindi’s face twitched involuntarily. He slowly turned his head, looking at his two "friends" not far away, and without a second word, sent them the most solemn questioning gaze.

...

—— Damn you two treacherous beasts!!!! ——

Although he held back from saying it out loud, Xindi expressed his inner hysteria through his furious glare.

The Dragon Orb he had painstakingly prepared was taken away by Kalina without any benefit to the Ice Dragon Clan, leaving Xindi fuming with rage.

As equally matched opponents, Clan Leaders Robo and Baling, who were subjected to this gaze, also couldn’t help but twitch their faces. Without a word, they responded to Xindi with a you’re the one who’s shameless expression, conveying their dissatisfaction.

— You bastard, what right do you have to accuse us?! —

And so, on an invisible battlefield, the three Clan Leaders engaged in a fierce confrontation.

If not for the sake of etiquette, they might have come to blows right then and there.

Fortunately,

Kalina timely feigned confusion and looked at both sides, quelling the potential outbreak of conflict.

Lowering his head reluctantly, Xindi gritted his teeth and occasionally cast resentful glances at his two "partners."

Damn it, it’s all because of you scumbags, constantly engaging in internal strife, driving up the cost of gift-giving! Seriously, always thinking about flattering those demons instead of resisting. A bunch of useless...

...

Xindi kept muttering to himself, seemingly forgetting his own less-than-honorable intentions.

However, as he continued to curse, Xindi didn’t feel ashamed. Instead, he gradually immersed himself in a sense of desolation.

"Sigh..."

Seeing Kalina and the other two Clan Leaders leave, Xindi couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Xindi still gave up on following the example of the other two Clan Leaders, fawning over Kalina.

No matter what, as a noble dragon, once the absolute overlord of the continent, Xindi still managed to retain a shred of dignity.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but recall the glorious era of the past.

The Dragon Clan not only didn’t need to bow to anyone, but was also revered by all.

Any existence that disrespected the Dragon Clan would be annihilated under their absolute power.

Unfortunately, those days were gone forever.

Now, even if his Ice Dragon lineage had the chance to escape the Winter Forest and reunite with the Dragon Clan’s main family, they would still struggle to resist the Abyssal Demons.

In this lifetime, they might only be able to live in subjugation, treated like pets.

Thinking about this, Xindi’s heart sank even further.

He couldn’t help but yearn for the magnificent times of the past.

Alas, if the Sacred Dragon King were still here, how could our Dragon Clan be so oppressed?!

With the Sacred Dragon King’s immense power, those damn demons would be reduced to ashes with a snap of his fingers!

Although Xindi had never seen the Sacred Dragon King and didn’t live in that legendary era, the splendor depicted in ancient texts had long made him envious of that time and his admiration for the Sacred Dragon King flowed like an endless river.

And just as Xindi was lost in his fantasies, a strange aura suddenly intruded into his perception.

"Huh?!"

This peculiar sensation from his soul made Xindi tremble, and his consciousness returned from his wild imagination.

He returned to reality.

Following that aura, Xindi directed his gaze to the side.

There, Xindi saw a cute, fluffy little white dragon.

The moment he saw the little white dragon, Xindi’s eyes narrowed, revealing an expression of utter astonishment mixed with wild joy. The golden emblem on the little white dragon’s forehead was almost identical to the one belonging to the Sacred Dragon King that Xindi had learned about from ancient texts! Moreover, he vaguely sensed an indescribable dragon might emanating from the little white dragon’s body.

It was enough to make him, the Ice Dragon King, feel apprehensive. This little white dragon’s identity was certainly not simple.

Could it be... The Great Sacred Dragon King??

For some reason, such a bold guess popped into Xindi’s mind.

However,

in the next instant, Xindi dismissed his unrealistic thoughts.

Because, right under his astonished gaze, a pink-haired little girl with exquisite features, wearing an elaborate princess dress, came running over. Without a word, she hugged the little white dragon in her arms and kept nuzzling it.

"Geez, Meli-chan! Running around again, I’m not happy~. Come on, let’s go back~. Time for a bath and change of clothes~."

Although a trace of resistance appeared on the little white dragon’s face as it was held in the pink-haired girl’s arms, it vanished in the blink of an eye. Then, like a cute pet, the little white dragon let out a few adorable meows and obediently nestled in the pink-haired girl’s embrace, allowing her to fondle it like a doll.

Sigh, I must be under too much pressure lately.

To mistake such a thing for the Great Sacred Dragon King...

The Great Sacred Dragon King has always been mighty and heroic. How could he possibly become so cute? Moreover, the Great Dragon King is brave and fearless. How could he submit to an Abyssal Demon and be tormented as a toy?

Even an idiot would know that’s impossible. Sigh.

Xindi’s face showed a hint of guilt. Slowly closing his eyes, he clasped his hands together and reverently apologized to the great one in his heart.

Sorry, Sacred Dragon King, your descendant is unfilial. For a moment, I was deluded and mistook that cute pet creature for your incarnation. I am truly, deeply sorry!! I hope you can forgive your descendant’s mistake and continue to protect your offspring.

If possible, I hope your spirit in heaven can display its divine power and help us drive away the threat of the Abyssal Demons.

Amin~

...

Fortunately, at this moment, all of Xindi’s thoughts were hidden in his mind. If these words were spoken out loud and heard by a certain little white dragon...

Then, our great Sacred Dragon Queen Meli, would probably be so embarrassed that she would find a cake and commit suicide.

Poking her head out from Yuan’er’s arms, the little white dragon gazed at Xindi, who had a complex expression on his face, with mixed feelings. She deliberately ran out of the small house, not to avoid being dressed in that embarrassing pink dress by Yuan’er. The main reason she came here was to see her dragon descendants.

Although she had seen a dragon descendant at the Luminous Royal Academy, that was just one person. Their situation couldn’t represent the entire Dragon Clan.

However, seeing the once-notorious Ice Dragon lineage now acting like lapdogs in front of the Abyssal Demons, Meli naturally felt heartbroken.

Feelings of unwillingness surged in her heart.

As the former Dragon King, although she currently looked like a lollipop-eating loli dragon, Meli possessed a lofty sense of racial pride.

Her lifelong pursuit was to make the Dragon Clan stand at the pinnacle of the continent.

The fundamental purpose of collaborating with Kael and Molok to obtain a new body was also to rebuild the Dragon Clan’s prestige.

Therefore, after witnessing the decline of the Dragon Clan and their subservience to the Abyssal Demons, Meli couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow.

Sigh, my poor descendants... They’ve been bullied into this state.

However, she didn’t dare to reprimand her juniors.

After all, as the Sacred Dragon Queen, her situation wasn’t much better compared to her juniors...

Day after day, she acted as a cute little creature beside the Demon Kings.

Of course, as the Sacred Dragon Queen, Meli would never truly succumb to the temptation of lollipops. She was just enduring hardships and waiting for an opportunity to arise!

However, considering the absolute strength of the Abyssal Demon forces, Meli always felt that the future was bleak, and her heart was inevitably shrouded in pessimism.

With their current strength, let alone confronting the female demon leaders, even these minor demon kings could easily capture them all and turn them into dragon meat skewers.

What,

what should I do?

What should I do to help the Dragon Clan break free from our current lowly position?

While enjoying the lollipop fed into her mouth by Yuan’er, Meli pondered over this major life issue. At the same time, the little white dragon couldn’t help but look up at Yuan’er’s immature and adorable face.

Could it be, that I, really have no choice but to sell my body and compromise with this little demon girl? Considering the favor this little demon girl received, if I truly became her good friend, perhaps the Dragon Clan could really turn the tables...

But, seducing her? How could I, the great Sacred Dragon Queen, do such a thing?!

I have to think of another way.

Hmm?

Speaking of which?

As if realizing something, Meli thoughtfully directed her gaze towards a corner of the mansion, where a certain little black rose maid was located. Although the members of the Black Rose family seemed unaware, with her keen perception, Meli sensed an unusual aura from that little maid.

It was an aura identical to that of the Girl of Destiny.

He should be the Son of Destiny, right?

Now that the Girl of Destiny had already colluded with the Abyssal Demons, the Son of Destiny might be the only one I could rely on.

Although he’s still very weak now, considering the infinite possibilities of the chosen one, it seems like it might work?!

Meli’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pleasantly envisioned in her heart.

The potential of the Son of Destiny, combined with my knowledge and wisdom! It feels like there’s a chance!!

At this moment, a grand vision gradually took shape in Meli’s mind.
