Chapter 426: 419 Once entangled family

After that, no matter what Jiasinta said there, Shane couldn’t absorb a word.

Not only did this guy try to undermine him, but he also wanted to allure his dragon. How could Shane possibly show him a good face?

His pleasure of being a Dragon Knight hadn’t even been fully enjoyed yet!

Thus, Shane refused to listen to Jiasinta’s words anymore.

However, Jiasinta said something right,

"She should have a better future. You can’t ignore her future just because of your own selfish desires and keep her from undergoing Human Transformation, right?"

Shane found himself agreeing with this statement.

After all, You Lin was a dragon with boundless prospects, just a step away from the Life Limit of Level 100. Not allowing her to undergo Human Transformation, to become a part of the Demon Clan, and to gain higher potential and stronger power would truly be a waste and a delay for her.

In reality, You Lin was also very tempted by the idea.

But as a member of the proud Dragon Race, her pride wouldn’t allow her to abandon her master and leave after sincerely acknowledging him.

Such was the strength of the Dragon Race’s pride.

Apart from things he found interesting, Ai Yi would otherwise appear completely indifferent to everything else.

Jiasinta might seem smooth, but this Violent Dragon was known for his arrogance and fierceness in battlefields during wars a thousand years ago.

The Dragon Race was like this, possessing immense pride. If someone tried to force them, they were ready to go down together or even take their own lives on the spot.

Like the Demon Refining Ceremony in Artlu Canyon, You Lin fiercely resisted the ceremony’s demon transformation, enduring the pain, never compromising, refusing to turn into an abominable monster.

Once they gained acceptance from the Dragon Race, their pride wouldn’t allow them to act in contradiction to this recognition.

Ai Yi was the same. After recognizing Shane, even if Shane bullied her unilaterally, she either showed her displeasure, retaliated, or sternly taught Shane a lesson but held no grudges and always stayed by Shane’s side.

It was the same with You Lin. After submitting to Shane, he became her only master. Even Ai Yi, the Dragon Lord, the Dragon King, had no authority to command or coerce her to do anything, let alone to leave Shane on her own.

Thus, Shane knew that You Lin was actually very tempted by Jiasinta’s proposal, but she didn’t wish to leave him.

In such a situation, Shane naturally wouldn’t keep You Lin tightly bound to his side just to not lose his mount.

Of course, Shane never considered accepting Jiasinta’s persuasion.

Because he was called Shane, not "Sneaky".

So, Shane directly retorted with a sentence.

"It sounds nice, but isn’t it all just to get You Lin to the Demon Realm and recruit her?"

"Does Human Transformation necessarily have to be done in the Demon Realm?"

"Ai Yi is here with me now, with her guidance, can You Lin not undergo Human Transformation?"

"Just keep talking nonsense."

This response left Jiasinta speechless on the spot.

"...You want the master to exert effort to help your mount undergo Human Transformation?"

Jiasinta’s look toward Shane was indescribable.

"So? Is that not possible?"

Shane was emphatic.

However, his emphatic statement made Jiasinta and those watching, including Nadura, instinctively want to say —— you’re thinking too much.

How could the Dragon Demon just help because you asked for it?

Must be naïve from not being beaten down by society, right?

However, Shane completely ignored these people’s mockery, turned around, and went straight back to the mansion, barging into Ai Yi’s room, and without any explanation, he woke the deeply sleeping girl.

Jiasinta and others who followed were shocked at this scene.

"This guy, he dares to wake up the master (Dragon Demon) so rudely...!?"

Jiasinta, Jesse, Lis, and Nadura were all either shocked or angry.

But before they could react, what happened next baffled them even more.

The abruptly awoken Ai Yi had a face as black as thunder, looking as though she might kill someone any moment. But Shane just didn’t care, he kept pestering and soft-soaping her, even pulling the little girl into his arms, cajoling and coaxing her relentlessly, until this so-called Dragon Demon capitulated.

"Fine, fine, I’ll help you, just get out now and let me sleep!"

At that moment, Ai Yi’s exasperated voice rang out, and everyone, including Nadura, had their mouths wide open in astonishment.

"Master..."

Jiasinta stuttered, trying to say something, but was met with a murderous glare from Ai Yi.

"Get out!"

"Yes!"

Jiasinta, Lis, and Jesse all shivered and fled Ai Yi’s room as if escaping.

Only Shane, still holding the soft body of Ai Yi in his arms, continued to remind,

"This is your promise, no backing out now."

After making the agreement, Shane put Ai Yi down, tucked her in, and left with a pleased step.

"That idiot..." Ai Yi, still looking annoyed, sighed helplessly and muttered, "He really didn’t notice that I had already been doing this, both master and servant, human and dragon, just as oblivious..."

After venting her frustrations, Ai Yi went back to sleep.

As for Shane, after leaving Ai Yi’s room, he was immediately met with complex looks from Jiasinta and the others.

"Why does the master dote on you so much?"

Finally, all Jiasinta could do was leave behind a jealous remark before departing with equally unwilling Jesse and Lis.

"Challenging me?"

Shane smiled proudly.

Although that was what he said, Shane knew he had just owed Ai Yi a big favor again.

"I’ll buy her some desserts from Lilith’s family when I go out."

Shane was not clueless about how to cheer up his Dragon Demon Lord.

After Jiasinta and her group had left, Shane strolled around the residence once more.

During this stroll, Shane realized he hadn’t seen any of the young girls at home.

Lasha was still not awake, Lasha had mentioned that this girl also loved to sleep and wasn’t a morning person, so she was probably still oblivious in bed while Lasha changed her clothes and washed up.

Vivian and the others had gone out.

Due to the suitor selection event, many nobles and dignitaries from foreign countries had come to the Royal Capital, making it much busier and also causing many conflicts and disputes.

Among these dignitaries, some were political enemies, and some were nations still at war with each other, having deep-seated grudges; gathering them together right now was bound to create chaos.

Given this situation, the adventurer’s guild had many missions recently for mediation, maintaining public order, and guarding important figures, with very attractive rewards. This led to a boon for adventurers, prompting many to seize the opportunity to make a good profit.

Vivian and her companions had joined this trend.

It wasn’t just for the money, but also for Tielle.

It seemed that many nobles from the Ragnar Empire had come, including a Prince from the Royal Family. The prestigious family that Tielle’s mother belonged to was also here. To avoid Tielle encountering them in the Royal Capital, Vivian and the others had to take her away under the guise of a commission.

Lasha recalled something Vivian had mentioned.

"That prestigious family has actually been demanding that the Kingdom return Tielle to them, claiming that the environment here is no longer suitable for her, but everyone knows they are just interested in Tielle’s talent and the Hero’s bloodline she carries, intending to turn her into their weapon."

This was not without foundation.

Shane had heard that the prestigious family in the Ragnar Empire was a military lineage skilled in training spies and death soldiers, and they had secretly maintained an assassination squad. This squad had once clashed with the Slaughterer Faction for a period, and neither side could best the other, resulting in a stalemate.

At that time, the Slaughterer Faction was not the declined Old Demon Clan Faction that had attacked the Royal Capital ten years ago but was in its prime. Though lacking high-tier fighters, it was a formidable force with thousands adept at assassination, espionage, and covert operations.

That the prestigious family could match the Slaughterer Faction indicated how exceptional their assassination squad was trained.

That was also why they would even use their daughter as a tool, sending her to the Kingdom through marriage to serve as a spy, ready to strike at any moment.

Perhaps the reason the Slaughterer Faction had attacked the Royal Capital was partly due to this prestigious family’s machinations.

This family was considered the most cold-blooded, merciless noble lineage in the Empire, willing to use any means to achieve their goals.

How could such people consider Tielle’s wellbeing and take her in?

They surely saw her talent and wanted to mold her into a weapon of war.

Of course, they would not succeed.

Not to mention that the Kingdom had always despised the Empire and this family. Luoqi had already become friends with Tielle and would not stand by and watch Tielle be taken by the Empire’s people.

"Even so, I heard they haven’t completely given up on this matter. This time, a scion of this prestigious family has also appeared in the Royal Capital. To avoid any contact between Tielle and them, it’s better not to let them meet."

With this in mind, Vivian had been carefully selecting commissions lately, choosing those that would avoid encountering those people, using it as an excuse to take Tielle away, keeping her busy.

When Shane learned about this, he asked for the family’s name.

"Leferut...huh?"

Shane pondered deeply.

In his heart, he felt a slight throbbing.

This sensation, Shane was somewhat familiar with now.

"Is it another revelation similar to Luoqi’s Blessing effect?"

In other words, unless something unexpected happened, he might soon be involved with the Leferut family.

And it seemed to be on rather unfavorable terms.

"Interesting."

Far from being intimidated, Shane chuckled.

Then, turning around, he left the residence.
