"Everyone, stop talking."

Wang Shouzhe rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on from their noise.

Dealing with a fox with a childlike mindset was already hard enough, and now there’s an arrogant and violent little cyan dragon, arguing at a moment’s notice. Life truly is exciting.

"Hmph~ I’ll listen to Brother Shouzhe. I’m the most obedient." Ancestor Fire Fox glanced at Wang Shouzhe’s expression, obediently put away the flames, and jumped back into Wang Shouzhe’s arms.

"Hmph~ In honor of our Wang Family patriarch, I’ll spare you this time." The mini cyan dragon waved its mini dragon claws arrogantly.

Fortunately, she took the spirit contract, sworn by the name of the Ancestor Dragon, quite seriously. Deep down, she had already accepted herself as the Wang Family’s clan guardian spirit beast. The contract stipulated that she must respect the Wang Family patriarch, accept the patriarch’s orders at any time while enjoying the Wang Family’s tribute, and never disobey the patriarch’s commands, so Wang Shouzhe’s words held some sway.

However, accepting is one thing; the attitude, well, is dismissive.

"Primordial Water Cyan Dragon, first, congratulations on your successful dragon transformation." Seeing the two spirit beasts cease their quarreling, the throbbing vein on Wang Shouzhe’s forehead finally calmed down. He adjusted his expression and smiled at the mini cyan dragon, "Do you still remember the fruit you ate when you signed the spirit contract?"

The little cyan dragon blinked, nodding with a confused expression: "I remember, that fruit was crisp and sweet, quite delicious. If you have more, offer me a few baskets, and I’ll keep them to slowly enjoy."

"That fruit is called the [Nine Nether Bloodthirsty Demon Species], and it took me a long time to cultivate. If you like eating it, I can spare some time to cultivate a few more for you, guaranteed satisfaction." Wang Shouzhe’s expression was earnest, while a meaningful smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"This, this fruit’s name doesn’t sound like a proper fruit..." The little cyan dragon blinked its large golden eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in its heart, "Is it poisonous?"

"Poison, of course not," Wang Shouzhe shook his head in denial, but before the little cyan dragon could breathe a sigh of relief, he patiently explained, "Its preciousness lies in the ’Demon Seed Spirit Core’ within its flesh. Once ingested, the demon seed will parasitize deep in your stomach pouch."

"Then, then what..." The little cyan dragon’s pupils began to dilate, swallowing nervously.

"Then, with just a thought, the demon seed spirit core will take root and sprout in your stomach pouch. The spines growing from the root will stab inside your belly," Wang Shouzhe animatedly recounted, just like telling a story to children, "They will absorb your essence and blood, using it as nourishment to grow slowly, slowly. When that time comes, the more essence and blood you consume, the faster it will grow. Those roots will spread like tendrils into your veins... Your body will be filled with the roots of the demon seed spirit core."

"Stop, stop talking, please." Hovering in the air, the little cyan dragon looked terrified, nearly falling into Deep Taihu Lake.

"As the roots grow more, you’ll become more painful, and you’ll become hungrier," Wang Shouzhe continued unmoved, "Driven by extreme hunger, you’ll start eating frantically, but no matter how much you eat, to the point of bursting your stomach, it won’t help." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Because that food will all become nourishment for the Nine Nether Bloodthirsty Demon Species. In the end, it will burst your body, frantically devouring your flesh, dragon tendons, bones, skin, and those beautiful scales."

"Finally, it will grow into a magnificent demon tree on your corpse. I imagine that if one were to cut it down and use its wood to make chairs, they would be quite sturdy."

Wang Shouzhe’s voice was like the whisper of a demon, painting one terrifying scene after another.

"No! I don’t want to be eaten by the Demon Seed Core~~ Wuwuwu~ So scary~ I don’t want to become a chair!" The little cyan dragon burst into tears, "You’re a big bad guy! I don’t believe you! You must be deceiving a dragon!"

"Don’t believe it? Then give it a try."

Wang Shouzhe snapped his fingers with a "pop," his voice low as if summoning something, "Nine Nether Bloodthirsty Demon Species Spirit Core, have you heard my call? The time is ripe, start taking root and sprouting."

Suddenly!

The little cyan dragon’s eyes widened, her whole body freezing on the spot as if being immobilized.

She could clearly feel something alive in her belly, slowly wriggling, scratching at her insides, as if it were taking root inside her.

The sensation wasn’t very painful, but it was like a switch, triggering her mind to recall those terrifying scenes depicted by Wang Shouzhe, causing the little cyan dragon to break down on the spot.

Her dragon face crumpled, her dragon whiskers drooped, tears spraying out to the sides uncontrollably.

The life of Lun Family’s dragon was just beginning, awuwu~ Is it going to end so miserably? Wuwuwu~ Lun Family doesn’t want to die, wuwuwu~~~

The more she thought, the more she cried, the more pitiful she became. The water vapor in the sky gathered continuously, the rolling clouds thickening over Deep Taihu Lake until it poured rain.

Wang Shouzhe and Ancestor Fire Fox just watched her cry and vent, sympathy in their eyes.

Even in an adult’s world, a breakdown can happen in an instant. Not to mention, the little cyan dragon was too young, just a newly transformed dragon baby, so it was quite normal to be unable to accept the harsh realities of the world.
