Chapter 99: Why Not Ride Me?

“I am the majestic Western Sea Dragon King, after all. How can I…”

Although she was resisting verbally, the little dragon’s heart had already begun to waver.

“It’s just for a year, and I have a Golden Scale Dragon Carp, too.”

“It’s just for a year. There’s a Golden Scale Dragon Carp, too…”

At the same time, Nie Chen’s voice was like a demon’s whisper, tempting her.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp.”

The little dragon couldn’t help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.

Just then, Nie Chen suddenly took out the Golden Scale Dragon Carp and waved it in front of her eyes.

The fragrance and the pure dragon aura related to the dragon’s blood source wafted over, finally breaking down her last line of defense.

“Alright, it’s just for a year. As the Dragon King, I can be flexible. I won’t be missing out on this one year, will I?”

“Let me go! I’m willing to be your mount for a year!”

The little dragon seemed reluctant, but she finally shouted out.

“Good, then please sign this contract.”

Nie Chen quickly took out a pen and paper and drew up a heavenly contract.

A hint of the Great Dao’s aura swept over, carrying the majesty of the heavens.

This contract, recognized by the heavens, would bring severe consequences to anyone who broke it.

Not only would their cultivation stagnate, but their foundation would also be destroyed, leaving them on the brink of collapse.

“You’re going too far! Where did you get this contract from?”

The little dragon gritted her teeth, finally putting aside her pride and dripping a drop of dragon blood onto the contract.

A hint of the heavenly aura swept over, sealing the contract.

“Good, I’ll rescue you now.”

Nie Chen nodded in satisfaction, putting away the contract.

With a pair of hands grasping the two iron chains, and with the skills he had exchanged from the System’s store, all the defensive measures and restrictions seemed like nothing to Nie Chen.

“Clang, clang.”

The two iron chains, once indestructible, were now easily broken by Nie Chen.

With another forceful tug, the chains suddenly snapped.

“Finally free!”

The little dragon was overjoyed, her eyes shining with excitement.

A blinding light enveloped her golden-scaled dragon body, and as the light twisted and turned, her body began to transform.

When the light dissipated, a lovely, petite girl with a hint of mischief stood before Nie Chen.

The two dragon horns on her head no longer radiated any dragon aura, instead accentuating her adorable features.

“My name is Ao Lan, and I am the noble Western Sea Dragon King.”

“Since you rescued me and signed the contract, I will keep my promise and serve as your mount for a year.”

“Remember, it’s only for a year. If you break the contract, don’t blame me for eating you!”

Ao Lan pouted, her voice laced with a hint of resentment.

Nie Chen was stunned.

“What the…? Where’s my mount? Where’s my majestic, dragon-scaled pet?”

“How did you turn into this?”

Nie Chen pointed at Ao Lan, his face filled with shock.

“I’ve always been like this.”

Ao Lan swayed her slender body, her voice tinged with a hint of poverty.

“My dragon form is too big and cumbersome. I prefer to transform into a human.”

“Besides, I’m only over 200 years old, which is extremely young for a dragon. My human form is naturally like this.”

Noticing Nie Chen’s strange expression, Ao Lan swayed her body, a hint of anxiety in her voice.

“Let’s hurry up and leave. I sense three Transforming Sea Realm experts approaching.”

“Aren’t you going to ride me? Come on, let’s go!”

“…”

Nie Chen’s mind was reeling.

Not to mention the issue of riding her, the previous scene and conversation would be enough to land him in prison if anyone saw it!

This scene was simply too incriminating!

Just then, Nie Chen sensed two terrifying auras approaching from the horizon.

One of them was only a few dozen miles away.

The Transforming Sea Realm expert from the Imperial Court was about to arrive!

And there were two of them!

Nie Chen knew he had to act fast, or it would be too late.

He grabbed Ao Lan’s collar and lifted her up.

Ao Lan looked puzzled. “Aren’t you supposed to ride me? Why are you carrying me instead?”

“You can eat more rice, but you can’t talk nonsense!”

Nie Chen glanced at her, exasperated.

With a burst of speed, Nie Chen shot forward, his Wind Ride technique far surpassing any Opening Profound Realm cultivator.

However, the closest aura seemed to have sensed Nie Chen, and its speed increased dramatically.

The Transforming Sea Realm expert was about to catch up!

Nie Chen’s body suddenly stopped in mid-air, his left hand grasping Ao Lan’s collar, while his right hand condensed a fierce gust of wind.

“True Body of Enlightenment, Explosive Hammer Dog Head’s Path!”

With a thunderous punch, a massive fist made of wind descended from the sky.

The Transforming Sea Realm expert felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he couldn’t withstand this punch.

He hastily raised his arms, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy to counter the attack.

“Boom!”

The impact sent shockwaves through the air, dispersing the residual energy.

Although the expert had deflected the punch, the mysterious aura of the True Body of Enlightenment left him stunned.

This aura… belonged to the True Body of Enlightenment!

Was it the Crown Prince?

No, it couldn’t be.

He distinctly felt that this punch came from someone else.

But who could it be? Besides the Crown Prince, who else could possess the True Body of Enlightenment?

As he regained his composure, he looked forward, but Nie Chen had already disappeared into the distance.

The expert’s aura vanished, leaving no trace, making it impossible for him to track Nie Chen.

The Transforming Sea Realm expert had no choice but to give up the chase.

His priority now was the Dragon Blood Array!

He couldn’t afford to waste any more time and flew towards the cave.

However, as he looked down at the cave, his mind went blank.

The cave was in ruins, with flames engulfing the area.

The numerous Opening Profound Realm cultivators guarding the cave were either injured or dead, with many having lost their lives.

Such a powerful group had been completely annihilated!

“Where’s the Crown Prince?”

He frantically searched, only to find Shu Zi’an’s lifeless body at the entrance of the cave.

Her spiritual core was shattered, her foundation destroyed, and her death was a tragic one.

“Who did this?”

The Transforming Sea Realm expert’s eyes widened in rage, but he could only shout at the sky.
