Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 73

73 Poaching in Front of Su Wan

Shi Linglong’s face was pale, and she fled to her territory in fear. “Ofunai, do you think they noticed us?” she asked.

Shi Linglong didn’t know what was going on either. She didn’t know how many times she had bumped into other people discussing important secrets.

A while ago, she had bumped into the Overlord who allied with the man-eating ants. She had heard him discussing his secret plan with others. After that, she had accidentally bumped into members of the Dark Screen.

And now, she had encountered two Lords sneakily discussing something nearby.

“These b*stards! Can’t they find a more covert place to discuss their secrets? It’s fortunate that I escaped quickly. Otherwise, they would have tried to kill me!”

!!
Shi Linglong was still in shock. The Flower Fairy, Ofunai, was about to shake her head to imply that they hadn’t been discovered. But she wasn’t sure.

“It’s terrifying that the two Overlords are members of the Dark Screen!”

The Dark Screen was a mysterious organization formed by the native creatures of the Overlord Plane. Their goal was to unite and fight against the Lords and heroes who had descended from the Hero Plane.

How did such an organization attract ordinary Lords to join them? Shi Linglong was curious to know why the Overlords joined the organization that wanted to destroy them. These questions lingered in Shi Linglong’s mind.

“Do the Lords want to use the Dark Screen to achieve some goals?” asked Shi Linglong. “How could that be related to the Inter-Campus Tournament?”

The only thing Shi Linglong could think of, at the moment, was the Inter-Campus Tournament. This year’s Inter-Campus Tournament was supposed to be very special. The Top Ten candidates would be taken to a mysterious place to compete. That place contained the secret to becoming a Mythical Lord!

While Shi Linglong’s mind was full of these thoughts, she received an invitation from Su Wan.

“Eh?” said Shi Linglong. “Ofunai, Wanwan and her hero are inviting us as guests to their territory.”

The reason Shi Linglong mentioned Xu Yuan with Su Wan was that Su Wan had sent a message mentioning him especially. The message implied that the Lord and the hero both had extended the invitation.

“Wanwan isn’t a bad person, after all,” said Shi Linglong gleefully. “Let’s go, Ofunai!”

Shi Linglong was glad. Just moments ago, she had overheard the conversation between the two Overlords. She was afraid of them hunting her down. She felt that Su Wan’s place would be safer for her. Su Wan had won first place in the Star Academy’s qualifying competition. She was definitely strong enough to protect her.

However, the Flower Fairy wore a grave expression on her face. She felt that something was wrong. She knew about Xu Yuan’s personality. He would never invite Shi Linglong and her as guests.

The Flower Fairy could believe nothing was wrong if it was only Su Wan who was extending an invitation. However, the invitation coming from Xu Yuan made her suspicious.

Shi Linglong, on the other hand, was incredibly happy. She pulled the Flower Fairy with her and ran toward Su Wan’s territory.

Shi Linglong was unaware that the two Overlords near her territory saw her leave. “I am certain it was that girl who saw us.”

“We have to find a way to kill her before she tells anyone of our plan.”

“We have to keep everything a secret until the Inter-Campus Tournament.”

The two Lords followed Shi Linglong all the way to Su Wan’s territory.

…

“Wanwan, I’m here!” Shi Linglong shouted in joy.

The Skeleton Soldiers, who were guarding the territory walls, reported to Su Wan. After a while, both Su Wan and Xu Yuan emerged to receive their guests.

“Linglong, welcome!” said Su Wan enthusiastically.

Shi Linglong was slightly doubtful when she saw that Su Wan was so excited to see her. However, her doubts didn’t last very long. After all, they had gone through so many things together, so it was possible for their relationship to have become stronger.

Shi Linglong was glad to see Su Wan happy. However, the Flower Fairy’s hair stood on end. Xu Yuan was smiling at them!

‘Heavens!’ thought the Flower Fairy. The Dark Demon Dragon was welcoming them with a warm smile. Something was definitely wrong!

The Flower Fairy was in a dilemma. If she persuaded Shi Linglong to leave, it would offend both Su Wan and Xu Yuan.

Shi Linglong and Su Wan were friends. If she convinced Shi Linglong to leave, it would look like she was trying to drive a wedge between their friendship. Even if she tried, Shi Linglong would always take Su Wan’s side. As for Xu Yuan, she would suffer terrible consequences if he got angry!

However, looking at Xu Yuan’s smile and Su Wan’s enthusiasm, the Flower Fairy was certain that the Lord and the hero had hidden motives for inviting them over.

The Flower Fairy gulped in distress. She had no choice but to follow her Lord into Su Wan’s territory.

As for the consequences, the Flower Fairy had already thought it through. She hoped that Su Wan and Xu Yuan wouldn’t hurt Shi Linglong in whatever evil they were planning.

Unlike the Flower Fairy, Shi Linglong had no doubts and was very happy to see her friend.

“Hi, Wanwan’s hero!” said Shi Linglong. “I haven’t seen you for a while. Did you miss me? Why don’t you stop hanging around Wanwan and come live with me?”

Although she said it jokingly, it bothered Su Wan.

Su Wan, who had invited Shi Linglong to her territory with ulterior motives, had felt guilty for using her friend. However, when she saw Shi Linglong trying to take Xu Yuan away, she felt the guilt dissipate from her heart.

“Linglong, that’s enough!” said Su Wan. “Every time you see Xu Yuan, you try to poach him. Don’t you think your own hero might feel displeased if you do that?”

Shi Linglong looked at the Flower Fairy and smiled. “Ofunai, are you displeased?”

Shi Linglong knew her hero well. Her hero would definitely understand that she was only joking. Shi Linglong thought the Flower Fairy would play along to humor her.

Little did Shi Linglong know that the Flower Fairy was in a dilemma. Faced with the question, she had no choice but to say that she didn’t mind. If she said she didn’t like such jokes, wouldn’t Xu Yuan get offended by her? She didn’t want to anger him. Therefore, the Flower Fairy shook her head stiffly, indicating that she didn’t mind.

Shi Linglong was unaware of all this. She thought her hero had seen through her jokes and was cooperating with her.

Su Wan was puzzled. There were many questions in her mind. ‘What’s going on between Shi Linglong and the Flower Fairy? Why doesn’t the Flower Fairy mind Si Linglong wanting to take Xu Yuan with her? Isn’t she afraid that her status as the Initial Hero will drop if Xu Yuan comes along?’

Su Wan’s thoughts were running wild at this time. She thought something was strange. A saying went that a mountain couldn’t hold two tigers at the same time unless they were male and female.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes and remained vigilant as she looked at the Flower Fairy.
