Chapter 51 The Deep-Sea Squid Mother
The flight of Evil Dragon Lance was natural and silky smooth... Watching him soar was in itself a pleasure.
Is this the flying ability of an adult Giant Dragon?
Or is it that only an Evil Dragon like Lance can fly with such silky smoothness?
Lucia didn't know; it was her first time witnessing a real Giant Dragon in flight.
Previously in the Imperial Capital, she had seen Griffins flying in the air.
It felt like the Griffins didn't fly as naturally and smoothly as the Evil Dragon...
It's not that Griffins flew awkwardly... It's just... how to describe it...
Ambience.
Yes!
It's ambience.
When Griffins flew, they didn't have the same ambience as the Evil Dragon.
They didn't have that sense of blending into the surrounding environment...
When the Evil Dragon flew, it gave her the feeling that it merged with the environment, the heavens and earth, harmoniously and naturally...
Unrestrained... Free and easy... as carefree as the sky and ocean when soaring...
Lucia hadn't seen such a willful life...
A willful Dragon life... she felt she had seen it now...
If anyone could truly live such a willful life they desired...
It ought to be like the willful Dragon life of Evil Dragon Lance... unrestrained, free, without worries...
How wonderful.
She wanted such a life, and when she became Empress, her life would definitely be more carefree than that of Evil Dragon Lance...
As for now...
She resented it.
Resented that she, a Young Dragon, flew like an Ugly Duckling.
Why could an Evil Dragon fly better looking than she, a Princess?
Is that reasonable?
It's totally unreasonable!
Lucia felt that in front of the Evil Dragon, she was like the "Ugly Duckling" and "The early bird catches the worm" from the fairy tales of the Human World.
She was even inferior to the early bird from the story since that bird at least flew out its life.
This Young Dragon, afraid it might take a hundred years... a thousand years... and still not be able to fly as gracefully as the Evil Dragon...
It really made the Princess self-conscious.
Huh?
Is there something moving under the sea surface?
A huge shadowy mass... even larger than the shadow cast by this Young Dragon...
It even seems a bit larger than the Evil Dragon's body...
Why does it feel like that shadowy figure under the sea is moving along with her?
The Young Dragon swallowed a gulp of saliva, that huge shadowy mass... couldn't be the legendary Deep Sea Beast, could it...?
The island where the Evil Dragon lived, was it in the coastal waters or in the deep-sea territory?
"Err... Err..."
Oh no!
The shadowy figure below the sea surface was surfacing!
Evil Dragon, look behind you for once, no, look below your body at the sea, a Sea Beast wants to eat us...
The malicious Evil Dragon surely was using her, the Young Dragon, as bait...
Even though he promised her last night... not to use her as bait...
"This is my Young Dragon, I brought her out for you to familiarize with her, not for you to prey on... She's timid... If you scare her... don't say I didn't beat you up..."
Huh?
The Evil Dragon spoke.
So, the Evil Dragon had noticed the shadowy figure under the sea.
Wait a minute... judging by the tone of the Evil Dragon... it seems like he knows the shadowy figure under the sea?
Aren't Sea Beasts supposed to be the Evil Dragon's food?
Or are the Evil Dragons food for Sea Beasts?
Could it be the Evil Dragon can't defeat that Sea Monster under the sea?
Wuu.
A deep, ethereal call rang out over the sea, and suddenly, Lucia felt very lonely and sad, not knowing why she felt sad, not knowing why she felt lonely...
A Spiritual Attack from the Sea Beast?
Lucia quickly shook her dragon head, a Sea Beast that knew Spiritual Attacks... and such a large size... must definitely be a "King Rank" Sea Beast.
As for the classification of Sea Beasts, she didn't know.
In the Human World, powerful magical beasts and exotic beasts capable of human speech are ranked as "King Tier."
They can also be called "King Beasts."
The dark Sea Beast beneath the surface surely possesses the strength of a "King Beast."
A thick column of water shot up towards the sky, and the Sea Beast surfaced.
It was a black and white Sea Beast, with a black back and a white belly.
Its big head looked somewhat clumsy...
If such a Sea Beast were her size, she could fight two of them!
"She's called Andrea, species: Deep Sea Killer Whale. What you just heard was the call of whales."
Andrea?
A Sea Beast with a name!
Definitely a King Beast.
"Lucia, Young Dragon, species: Amethyst Dragon, underage."
"Lance Lance... Can I marry you?"
"No."
"???!!!
The Young Dragon Princess was shocked for an entire year!
What did she hear?
A Deep Sea Beast actually wanted to marry the Evil Dragon.
The Young Dragon thought of a love poem written by a human troubadour in the Human World, "The Bird and the Fish."
The Evil Dragon loving the Sea Whale below, isn't this the real-life "The Bird and the Fish"?
One flies, while the other lives in the sea.
The Young Dragon couldn't help but want to recite a few lines.
Then she truly began reciting, "The greatest distance in the world is not that between life and death."
"But when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you."
"The greatest distance in the world is between the bird and the fish, one soaring through the sky, the other diving into the depths of the sea."
Evil Dragon, be shocked, the words used by human troubadours to describe love, you must have never heard them...
Oops, I became a fool again, the Evil Dragon often visits the Human World and likes to read books, he might have seen "The Bird and the Fish"...
As expected, the Evil Dragon had read it, the look in his eyes turned strange as he looked at her.
Wuwuwu, I'll never show off again in front of the Evil Dragon.
"Tsk, who taught you that?"
"A troubadour in the Human World recited it... I secretly memorized it..."
"You... You've heard it too?"
"Yes."
"Lance Lance... the Young Dragon you picked up seems to really like me, the lines she recited just now perfectly described my feelings and affection for you."
The Killer Whale Andrea fell for the Young Dragon picked up by Lance in an instant.
She dwells deep in the sea.
He soars through the sky.
What perfect and fitting descriptions.
"Lance Lance... I like this Young Dragon."
"Then why did you scare her just now?"
"I didn't like her at first, but now I do."
"Why not just stay in the sea instead of coming out and scaring her?"
"I came out because I saw you, Lance. It wasn't just to scare her, you know. If it weren't for seeing you, I might have really eaten her as prey. This Young Dragon you picked up doesn't seem to respect the deep sea...
You should tell her... to fly as high as possible above the deep sea... otherwise, she could easily get eaten by the various monsters living in the deep sea....
Even if it were you, flying close to the deep sea's surface, you'd often become prey to various Sea Monsters..."
Andrea, the Killer Whale, said words that sent chills down the Young Dragon's spine.
The deep sea...
The Evil Dragon's island was actually in the deep-sea territory...
Just how much was he trying to avoid being hunted by a legendary hero, an epic champion...
The deep-sea territory... Forbidden to humans.
Even legendary warriors didn't want to venture into the deep-sea territory unless necessary.
And if they did, they would leave quickly.
Although she was the princess of the empire, her understanding of the deep sea was superficial.
About many of the deep sea's taboos, she had only heard...
"Lance Lance... where are you planning to go? Fly a bit further, and you'll enter the territory of other deep-sea monsters... You could get hunted down...."
"This child wants to eat squid, I'm thinking of going to the territory of the Squid Mother to see if it's at home, I want to buy a tentacle if possible."
