Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 448 - 277: Are you an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon? No! You are Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance!_2

It was the presence of those old creatures.

In ancient history, they bullied the Dragon Cub he was raising, and without beating them, his mind was not at peace.

"You are lying. You are not any Heavenly Demon. I suspect you are Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance!"

The young vampire Tiji expressed her suspicion towards Lance. She did not have any animosity towards Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, as Lance had taught her and been her teacher for a period, and he never assumed a superior attitude when interacting with her.

He respected her, and when she didn’t want to study, he didn’t force her but would tell her stories to let her rest for a while.

Sometimes, he even gave her candy.

Even though he had deceived her several times.

"Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance?!"

After Tiji spoke, the Demon Princess Christine, the Great Vampire Krastihela, and Demon Suman immediately surrounded the Dragon Cub.

They did not choose to attack. They encircled Lance.

Because they were not sure if they could defeat Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance and capture him.

But they knew one thing for certain—as long as the Dragon Cub remained in the abyss, Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance would definitely not choose to leave the abyss.

Providing so many protective items for the Dragon Cub, choosing to return to the abyss, and even changing his appearance to approach them actively.

So, as long as the Dragon Cub was in their hands, Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance would definitely not leave the abyss alone.

As for whether the Black Lotus Demon King in front of them was Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance…

Whether he was or not, it did not prevent them from treating him as Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance as a precaution.

"Lance... Teacher?" Bettina’s hands involuntarily clenched into fists. As a child, she had often been punished by Lance on her palm. Even though he used miniature magic for protection, she could still be easily hurt by Lance...

"Tiji, why do you say he is Lance? Lance... Teacher is a Dark Magic Dragonkin, unable to take human form. Moreover... the Dragon Cub never mentioned that the human in the ink painting was Teacher Lance. We cannot make accusations lightly.

Just in case he is not Teacher Lance... or if he is indeed mistaken for Teacher Lance, the consequences might exceed our imagination. Do not forget that several of our royal elders have been keeping an eye on him...

If they know that Lance has returned to the abyss, they definitely won’t let him leave again."

"I’m not sure if he is Lance, but my sister said that Lance had created several identities in the past and drew salaries from the air. Coincidentally, I was at the tavern recently and happened to meet a Dragon Man who claimed to be [Shia].

At that time, this Dragon Man [Shia] showed his Judge token at my tavern. That token was from the era of the Judgment Royal Court. Having seen the Judge’s token from the Judgment Royal Court before, I knew at first glance that it was genuine.

Later, Dragon Man Shia left the tavern and went to the Land of Chaos and Disorder. At that time, my sister contacted me and mentioned that while the name [Shia] existed in the Judgment Royal Court, there was no member of the Demon Race with that name. She speculated that [Shia] was another identity of Lance.

And the appearance of Dragon Man Shia matched exactly with the human depicted in the ink painting of Young Dragon Mountain, and just now, you mentioned that the Black Lotus Demon King looked exactly like the human in the ink painting.

There can’t be such coincidences, but even if there are, when so many coincide, it becomes a setup."

Calling himself a Heavenly Demon.

Hmph.

If there were really such Heavenly Demons that could prevent the warriors of the Human World from becoming gods, then the abyss would have already had a royal family capable of uniting all the nobility.

Truly cunning and deceitful, had Bettina not mentioned where she saw him, and remembered the appearance depicted in the ink painting of Young Dragon Mountain, they still wouldn’t know how long they would have been deceived by this [Black Lotus Demon King].

It was always they who played tricks on other beings, no creature dared trick them.

And yet, Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance managed to trick them twice.

The first time was over two thousand years ago, and the second time, now.

"Black Lotus Demon King, are... are you really Teacher Lance?" Medusa Freya looked at Lance, full of anticipation, also wanting to see Lance’s true face.

Fallen Angel Mavis’s thoughts were not much different from Freya’s.

She didn’t care whether Teacher Lance was handsome or not; she simply wanted to see his true face when he transformed into a human.

Being a Fallen Angel, she had seen overly handsome and tall males of the opposite sex.

The male angels of the Fallen Angel clan were all very handsome, even the Elves, praised in the Human World, might not necessarily surpass the Fallen Angels in appearance.

"After more than two thousand years, you no longer dare to be yourself, Lance. What, pretending to be other Demon Race makes you feel accomplished?"

Demon Princess Christine taunted Lance.

Lance wasn’t angry, provocation didn’t work on him, and it might even get one beaten.

"Is there a possibility that I am the Black Lotus Demon King you speak of?"

At this point, there was no need to disguise himself anymore. As for those old fellows lurking around the Demon God Square, he didn’t believe they would attack him as soon as they appeared.

After more than two thousand years, they surely wanted to catch up with him.

Lance removed the layers of disguise on himself, revealing his true form.

Black hair, red pupils, dressed in a black and gold robe; he looked quite handsome in this form, much better than wearing a fierce dragon head.

"Don’t worry, I came to the abyss this time just to bring the Dragon Cub back. I have no intention of causing trouble or seeking revenge.

Christine, Great Vampire, give me back the Dragon Cub, and then we can catch up. What do you think?"

Demon Princess Christine and Great Vampire Krastihela held onto the Dragon Cub’s claw; they certainly wouldn’t let Lance take the Dragon Cub away easily.

They didn’t speak immediately because they hadn’t snapped out of the shock of Lance’s current appearance, having been used to seeing him with a dragon’s head.

Suddenly seeing Lance with a human face instead of a dragon’s, they felt unaccustomed and a bit uncomfortable.

Psychologically uncomfortable.

Physiologically uncomfortable...both.

Demon Suman was also somewhat uncomfortable but was trying to adjust. Seeing Lance... by rights...she should address him as ’my lord.’

After all, in the beginning, she worked under Lance, and it was he who elevated her from a common demon to the noble she was now, ruling over Black Forbidden City.

Her education, abilities, and magic had all been guided by Lance.

So when she learned that the Dragon Cub might recognize Lance, she didn’t continue to persecute or intimidate the Dragon Cub, instead bringing it to her estate to roam freely.

It even ate her raised Demon Fish, and she didn’t mind.

Not because her tolerance was high, but simply because the Dragon Cub might know Lance.

"And you, Suman, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to become one of Christine’s confidants now. I vaguely remember you complaining about the injustice I faced in front of me, saying if I was born into royalty, my achievements would definitely not be inferior to Christine’s."

In an instant, Suman’s face turned red because she had indeed complained about Princess Christine in front of Lance.

"Now that I’m back, Suman...are you interested in following me again?"

"I’m sorry, Lord Lance, my allegiance is now to Princess Christine. All I can do for you now...is to not attack you and to take good care of the Dragon Cub."

"Just kidding, don’t take it seriously. I’m glad for your achievements."

Seeing Suman tense, Lance reassured her with a smile. He didn’t need followers; his previous words were merely jest among friends.

He also wasn’t worried about the Dragon Cub’s safety; through the Eye of the Demon God, Christine and the Great Vampire would know what they would face if they harmed the Dragon Cub.

"Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, after so many years, I never thought you would dare return. Surround him."

Several enormous Teleportation Arrays appeared in the Demon God Altar Square, and as the light from the arrays faded, six elite legions materialized on the square.
