After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 302 - 108: Breaking into the Dragon’s Tomb_2
The Black Dragon King did not answer and fell into deep thought.
About where that demon is, this is a very secretive piece of intelligence, concerning not only the Dragon Clan but also the deities.
"Rest assured, I will not leak the secret," Xi Mu assured, "I just want to communicate with that demon."
"It’s not a question of leaking or not leaking secrets," the Black Dragon King shook her head gently, still pondering and deciding. However, when she saw the expectant expression on the White-haired Lolita and the figure of Eden sitting quietly beside her, she suddenly asked:
"The existence of that demon is connected to the most important secrets of the Dragon Clan, and cannot be revealed casually."
Xi Mu nodded, asking, "State your demands."
"Unless you give me another bite of the Tree of Omniscience," the Black Dragon King stated her condition, causing the atmosphere to freeze.
Xi Mu glanced at Eden, who had said nothing, and refused:
"No."
"I thought so," the Black Dragon King, supporting herself on her knees, got up and walked towards the outside of the living room, waving her hand at the group with her back to them:
"Wait a moment for me, I’ll contact him." Naturally, she couldn’t leak the secrets concerning the Dragon Clan, that was far too important.
However, contacting the demon to let the demon choose whether or not to meet Ahtal wasn’t a very serious issue.
A moment later.
The Black Dragon King returned with a subtle expression, then, under everyone’s gaze, approached Ahtal and chuckled lightly:
"He agreed, but you have to find him yourself."
"Okay," Xi Mu replied immediately, having no objections to meeting the demon himself, and the Black Dragon King was quite straightforward, handing out a map:
"He’s waiting for you in the Dragon Tomb. You can only go see him by yourself... hmm, taking Evelyn with you is fine, but you can’t take Eden along."
Xi Mu frowned, displaying a troubled expression, "Isn’t it very dangerous for me if Eden isn’t by my side to protect me?"
"As a hero, do you still need a woman to protect you?" The Black Dragon King’s expression was subtly mocking, but Xi Mu remained unmoved, raising the teacup in his hand.
"Who decreed that a woman can’t protect a man? You’re discriminating against women!"
The Black Dragon King: "..."
She turned her head to look at Eden, who was sitting quietly and noticed that Eden didn’t show any signs of opposition or care, clearly indifferent to Ahtal’s speech.
There was silence.
"In any case, you can’t take Eden with you," she said with her arms crossed, her ample bosom shaking slightly, in a firm tone, "if you insist on taking Eden, he won’t show up."
"I also need to leave for a while," Eden suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone present, she lifted her hand to arrange the hair by her ear, and looked at Ahtal:
"I’ve thought of a way to cure you, and if all goes well, from now on you won’t have to worry about the torment of Sulter’s fire."
Xi Mu asked in confusion, "What way?"
"I’ll let you know if it’s feasible," Eden shook her head gently and turned into golden mist, disappearing on the spot. Originally, she had planned to leave Ahtal after a while, but since the Black Dragon King had spoken thus, she might as well take the opportunity to leave. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"The dangerous woman has finally left," the Black Dragon King sighed in relief and sat back in the chair, her body slightly limp.
"As the Dragon King, you shouldn’t have any reason to fear the All-Knowing Saintess, right?" The White-haired Lolita spoke up, finding the Black Dragon King’s reaction strange.
In response, the Black Dragon King rolled her eyes, feeling helpless towards the naïve Princess Evelyn, and she sat up straight to explain.
"Evelyn, do you think I’m strong?"
"Of course," the White-haired Lolita nodded, believing that to become the pinnacle of the Black Dragon race signaled strength, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the Black Dragon King.
"Even against deities, I have a certain chance of victory," the Black Dragon King claimed arrogantly, yet immediately after, her expression turned downcast, "But to defeat the All-Knowing Saintess, that’s impossible."
The White-haired Lolita showed a puzzled look, as her understanding of Eden was of someone who seemed cold but was extremely gentle. As for strength, she wasn’t very familiar, just assuming it to be at the level of a regular saintess, albeit capable of exhibiting power beyond human limits with the aid of divine might.
"To oppose that woman is to oppose the world," the Black Dragon King said seriously, for she had only taken a bite of the Tree of Omniscience before realizing Eden’s true identity as the embodiment of the Tree.
"Is Eden that formidable?" Xi Mu revealed a look of surprise, and the Black Dragon King nodded solemnly, then peculiarly scrutinized him.
"What on earth are you relying on to have the All-Knowning Saintess follow you?"
Because she wants me to burn the tree.
Of course, he couldn’t say that, Xi Mu simply pretended to be puzzled and shook his head, not revealing the truth to the Black Dragon King.
"It can’t be just because you’re handsome, right?" the Black Dragon King assessed Ahtal, feeling that Eden, as the All-Knowing Saintess, wasn’t likely such a superficial woman.
"I really wouldn’t know," Xi Mu pushed himself up from his knees, addressing the Black Dragon King to take his leave, "We best not delay, we’ll head to the Dragon Tomb now."
"Go ahead, I won’t see you out," the Black Dragon King waved them off without making any attempt to keep them, knowing Ahtal was busy and unlikely to idle chat with her.
Moreover, she didn’t want to become too deeply entangled with Ahtal.
This man was too... bizarre, not only involved with the All-Knowing Saintess but also granted the favor of the Goddess of Life, while simultaneously being a follower of the Witch of Death.
...
...
Outside the cave.
"What do you plan to do next?" Xi Mu turned his head to ask the White-haired Lolita beside him, "Will you go to the White Dragon’s territory to seek the truth from your father, or accompany me to meet the demon?"
