Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Because it is not so much a drop of blood, but rather a "contract" concluded through this drop of blood.

【Blood Contract】.

This is a very common plot, especially in literary works with vampires as the theme.

Through a contract established between blood and blood, the innate bloodline is altered, causing the person who signed the contract to transform in a supernatural direction, ultimately becoming a "monster" that can no longer be called human - if it were an ordinary person, this would probably be the case.

But Xia Mi is not human.

She is a giant dragon, the Dragon King, and the first generation created by the Black Emperor Nidhogg himself.

If the Black Emperor were still alive, then Shirataki's act of "poaching" would be tantamount to a provocation to his dignity - the kind that would not end until his death.

"But unfortunately, it's half dead now."

"Besides, even if it were alive, Jörmungandr, who had already betrayed it, would no longer be considered one of his own."

This is also the reason why Bai Long could feel at ease to sign a blood pact with Xia Mi.

Of course he wouldn't poach people, but if it was to recruit free agents... then it would be fair competition, and the highest bidder would win.

And now, the price Bai Taki offered to Xia Mi was quite high.

"From now on, you are one of my people."

"I promise you the purest light, the most powerful force—"

The dragon born from the light stretched out its hand and suspended the eternal contract in mid-air.

Xia Mi didn't hesitate at all. Like a fish leaping out of the water, she swallowed the drop of blood emitting golden light into her stomach.

The next moment, her face was distorted with an expression of extreme pain.

The golden blood, like poison, instantly detonated the Black King's blood in her body.

But she showed an unprecedented bright smile on her face.

Does it hurt?

It's okay to hurt!

To her, the bloodline inherited from the Black King is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.

And now, the golden blood that symbolizes the power of the [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] not only replaces the cursed blood in her body, but also makes up for the "thing" that is missing in her body.

【strength】.

As time went by, an unprecedentedly powerful force burst out from that new blood - it was pure destructive power, gushing out along with her beating heart.

"I have everything I need now."

The Dragon King, who symbolizes wisdom, closes his eyes.

And when she opened her eyes again, the clear green light instantly enveloped the entire world.

"What's this?"

Covered by the light, the half-breeds in the fortress suddenly felt difficulty breathing.

It was not the kind of difficulty in breathing as if someone was strangling you, but the kind of difficulty that made you completely forget what "breathing" was.

They felt as if they had entered a completely unfamiliar world - a world in which they were no longer themselves.

"It's the Nibelungen."

"This is the Nibelungen, the king of earth and mountains!"

After all, it was Ange who was knowledgeable and experienced, and he told the truth about the place.

After all, Lu Mingfei's magical powers were great - at the critical moment, his [Glass Brahma City] covered this place, and finally forcibly preserved a so-called "safe area" in this terrible Nibelungen.

"elder brother--"

Suddenly, a little boy appeared in Lu Mingfei's sight.

After several contacts, he was already very familiar with this little boy named Lu Mingze - he always liked to wear a tuxedo and had a half-smile on his face.

But for some reason, this time, he suddenly felt that the little boy had become very strange.

"I can give you strength."

"Help me kill her, okay?"

From Lu Mingfei's perspective, the little boy named Lu Mingze was staring at Xia Mi intently—or, to be more precise, staring at Xia Mi's eyes intently.

"I do not want it!"

Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively and rejected the little boy's suggestion.

——He and Xia Mi have no grudge against each other.

In fact, not only is there no hatred between them, the relationship between him and Xia Mi can be said to be very good.

Everyone in the entire junior high school department of Shilan Middle School knows that Lu Mingfei has a beautiful junior high school girl who is his "good brother"!

When times get tough, they can even share a bottle of iced tea!

"is it?"

There was a long silence.

In the end, the little boy, knowing that he could not change Lu Mingfei's mind, sighed softly.

"I hope you don't regret it, brother."

Chapter 236: The Land of the Dead

Xia Mi stood on the ground.

A brand new power was brewing within her body and was about to burst out.

As the [King of Earth and Mountains] personally crowned by the Black Emperor and recognized by the world, she had never felt such a deep connection with this land as she did now.

But at the same time, an inexplicable sadness arose in her heart.

That was not her sorrow, but the sorrow of this land - the mournful song of the dead souls who had been silent in this land for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Trivia.

In this world, there is no concept of the "Underworld".

The dragons do not need the underworld because they can be resurrected infinitely after death - of course, that is without external interference.

Half-bloods do not need the underworld, because death may be a true relief for them.

Ordinary people don't need the underworld, because no one cares about them. Whether they are dead or alive, it doesn't seem to matter that much.

And now.

"What a brilliant trick."

Xia Mi looked at the obsidian puppet in front of her, which was surrounded by death energy, and sneered in her heart.

She lamented the King of Bronze and Fire's wild imagination and audacity.

It is the pinnacle of alchemy, but it is also a method that transcends all the taboos of the world's ethics.

Those who play with life and death are not worthy of being called true "gods" - this is the truth that Xia Mi suddenly realized.

In other words, the more powerful the existence, the more compassion it will have for this world and the creatures living in it.

And now-

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

Xia Mi waved her hand at the obsidian giant, gathering all the breath of the dead attached to the surface of the giant into her palm.

That's hundreds of thousands of dead souls.

Eighteen hundred years ago, when Liu Xiu's army conquered Baidi City, the pitiful lives trapped within this city were trapped by the alchemical matrix of the Bronze and Fire Kings.

They were filled with hatred and had been roaring in resentment among the green mountains and clear waters for nearly two thousand years.

They suffered, and during that long period of imprisonment, they experienced eternal despair and torture.

And now, looking at these dead souls in her hands, Xia Mi fell into a brief confusion.

She needed a place to properly house these guys.

——At the same time, that place will also serve as her future residence.

This is the so-called "Underworld".

But there is no underworld in this world... All worlds are the world of the living.

This made Xia Mi very embarrassed - or perhaps, a little excited.

She raised her head again and looked at Shirataki beside her. She said nothing, but the expectation on her face and in her eyes said it all.

【Never get enough of taking advantage】.

I don’t know how she developed this nouveau riche + money-slave personality.

But facing Xia Mi's expectant gaze, Bai Taki shook his head.

"The kingdom of the dead has emerged."

He looked around at the world.

This world, which was supposed to be full of green mountains and clear waters, has now been completely covered by Xia Mi's Nibelungen.

In addition, a more important character suddenly appeared in the Nibelungen, looking at the sister standing on the land with an innocent, curious and confused look.

——The twin sons of the [Lord of the Earth and the Mountains], the Dragon King who controls “power”, Fenrir.

"Isn't it right here?"

……

Fenrir blinked, as if he sensed something.

"elder sister."

"You've become more beautiful?"

Because of his innate intellectual disability, he was unable to express his inner thoughts with real words. He could only vaguely express his feelings - but this was not wrong.

Xia Mi is now indeed more beautiful than before.

In other words, it is more "feminine".

She has finally grown up - the curves are where they should be, and she finally looks like a goddess.

Instead of the flat-faced girl who worked at KFC before.

"Shut up!"

Xia Mi's face darkened and she cursed him in her heart for being too talkative.

But she knew that she actually had no choice.

The Dragon Kings are all twins - the meaning of twins is "never separated".

Just now, she wanted to be clever and leave her brother in the world of the living... But Shirataki didn't allow her to do so, and this world wouldn't allow her to do so either.

Or perhaps it could be said that this gigantic Dragon King, unable to transform into a human form, was itself a symbol of this land—and would also become the foundation of the [Underworld].

"elder brother."

"Become the earth and the mountains."

Xia Mi reached out and touched Fenrir's body.

The expression on her face was a little melancholy, yet a little relaxed.

——No matter what, I was finally freed from the state of constant anxiety.

And Fenrir nodded.

To be honest, he didn't know what Xia Mi was sad about, and he didn't know why Xia Mi wanted him to turn into the earth and the mountains.

But he believed in Xia Mi 100%.
