Bang—

A moment later, the door to the Lin Clan’s room opened.

“Master.”

Kuang Beixiao, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, shouted softly.

“Are you done?” Lin Ye glanced at him.

The Berserker Race was not a small race. It was one of the top races in the north. Their eldest young master had become his servant.

If this news were to spread to the north, it would probably cause a huge commotion.

However, he was not afraid. At his current level, he already had the qualifications to talk to top noble families.

It was the same for Princess Nightshade and Kuang Beixiao.

“I’ve settled my matters. For the next year, I will do my best for you.” Kuang Beixiao lowered his stance.

On this point, he was much more outstanding than the direct descendants of the major families.

Back then, in order to nurture him, his father first made him experience the beauty of the upper world…

He had enjoyed beauties, money, and everything.

Then, from extravagant to simple, he was sent to the Cold Land to be a laborer for ten years, a lowly commoner.

It was precisely because of these experiences that his complicated personality developed.

He was the incomparably domineering Young Master who was well-known for his fist arts.

Facing Lin Ye who crushed him, he knew how to lower himself and become a servant who knew humility and obedience better than anyone else.

Lin Ye’s appearance was an accident and inevitable.

Back then, Senior Xuanji had given him a piece of advice. He would never be an overlord but would be a general of an overlord for the rest of his life.

When he met his master, it would result in a drastic change in his life.

He could sense this change from Lin Ye.

Therefore, even though Elder Qian and his brother could not understand, he still surrendered resolutely and became Lin Ye’s servant.

This was fate!

Perhaps in the ears of other overlords, this was the most laughable thing.

However, in this world, those overlords who wanted to change their fate were ultimately the minority.

There was a 99% chance that they would either become stepping stones on the heaven-defying path or turn into bones in the final battle.

Wanting to be famous for eternity was not something to brag about.

It was the combination of strength, strategy, intelligence, timing, people, and other factors. None of them could be missing.

As for him, he was destined not to be a heaven-defying overlord, nor did he have the qualifications to be one.

Rather than working hard in the north, it was better to take advantage of the situation and join an overlord who was qualified to defy the heavens.

From another perspective, if Lin ye succeeded, he would have succeeded as well.

Although it was a little self-deceiving, it was still a choice.

Only by living could there be hope for change.

This was the choice he had made after going to the Extreme Cold Region for ten years.

It was also his trust in Senior Xuanji’s reputation.

He firmly believed that a figure who could appear in the prophecy definitely had the qualifications to be a heaven-defying overlord.

“Very good. Follow behind the main team. I will ask you to act when I need you to do so.”

Lin Ye nodded and led everyone to appear outside the Dragon Cave.

“He’s finally out.”

Above the main platform, the phantom of Princess Nightshade appeared. Looking at Lin Ye’s figure, a smile flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Soon, her smile turned grave.

“That is…”

She narrowed her eyes, and a sky-blue dragon phantom appeared above her head.

“Little Master, on his body, I… I feel the aura of the Dragon Emperor.” The blue dragon shadow trembled.

However, in the next moment, the blue dragon shadow changed color and transformed into a red dragon shadow.

“This person is very strong. He has probably already mastered the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon!”

“Impossible!!!” Shock flashed across Nightshade’s eyes.

She clearly remembered that she had only given Lin Ye the first level of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.

The other party was either a peerless genius who deduced cultivation techniques or had some terrifying talent.

Without tens of thousands of years, it was impossible to deduce the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.

This was the confidence of the Dragon Race. For billions of years, no human or living being had broken this law.

Otherwise, the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon would have long become a common cultivation technique. How could it have been established in the Dragon God Shrine for countless years?

“Perhaps he has already obtained the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon from somewhere else. He cooperated with Master just to verify the authenticity of the cultivation technique,” the red dragon shadow said firmly.

“It still doesn’t make sense. Even if he just confirmed it, it’s impossible for him to master the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon in just a few hours. This doesn’t make sense.”

“Even the extremely talented Grandpa Dragon Emperor spent hundreds of years in the Time Mystic Realm to master the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon.”

At this point, Nightshade’s beautiful eyes landed on Lin Ye.

Lin Ye looked over as well. Their eyes met and her heart trembled.

“This is!!!”

Her pupils dilated as an illusory phenomenon appeared in front of her.

In the phenomenon, Lin Ye’s image changed drastically. He seemed to have transformed into a divine dragon that emitted colorful divine light. Under his feet were the Great Daos of the Dragon Race. Countless heavenly dragons and divine dragons surrounded him, as if they were submitting to him or trying to please him.

Among them, the closest one seemed to be herself. She was like a petite and cute wife, lying in Lin Ye’s arms.

“No, no, something’s wrong!!!”

Nightshade roared inwardly.

Crack—

In the void, the invisible ripples shattered and all the phenomena disappeared, replaced by Lin Ye’s faint smile.

“Illusion? This guy!!!”

Princess Nightshade gritted her teeth.

She never expected that as a dragon who had comprehended the dragon spirit of luck, she would actually be affected by the illusion.

This was too terrifying!!!

If this was used on an ordinary dragon, even if their mind was as hard as iron, they would probably fall instantly.

“Is this the enhancement effect of the Dao of Darkness?”

She frowned and tried to dig out more of Lin Ye’s information.

Previously, she had only treated Lin Ye as a young man who wanted to use her beauty to fool him into becoming her lackey.

But now, all these unrealistic thoughts were extinguished, and a wisp of panic even arose in his heart.

What if, what if the phenomenon was real?

As arrogant as she was, wouldn’t she have to marry this guy in front of her?

At the thought of this, Princess Nightshade panicked and shook her head repeatedly.

She was a woman who wanted to become the Dragon Emperor. Just like her grandfather, she would rule the Dragon Race and rebuild its supreme glory.

With this mentality, how could she get married? A married dragon lady was not qualified to become the Dragon Emperor.

This was an ironclad rule!

Lin Ye, who had the talent of Listening Ear, heard this clearly.

Although he had not interacted much with Nightshade, he roughly understood her mentality.

He could only say that she was pretty and she had ambitions. However, it was just that she was a little silly.

From another perspective, it was also a skill to be able to discover that he was powerful. But she should have quickly sucked up to him.

If I’m happy, wouldn’t it be faster for me to push you to the throne than for you to work hard yourself?

Of course, he did not intend on voicing his thoughts.

He chuckled and sent a voice transmission. “Princess Nightshade, remember your promise.”

“Hm? What?” Nightshade was stunned.

As he spoke, he watched as Lin Ye led the members of the main team into the Nightshade world.

“Master, I feel that… he’s targeting you,” the blue dragon shadow said.

“It’s not a feeling, but a hundred percent. That’s the look of a man determined to win. Master, run. Run away from Dragon Island before the other dragons discover you.”

The dragon shadow turned red and said solemnly, “They all have ulterior motives. They either covet Master’s beauty or Master’s soul. Let’s go out and hide first. When Grandpa Dragon Emperor comes out of seclusion, it will be time for revenge.”

“Run now?” A look of struggle flashed across Princess Nightshade’s eyes.

She had finally developed to this point today. She could not bear to give up.

If Lin Ye had not appeared, she might have risked it and escaped.

However, Lin Ye had clearly agreed.

If Guan Yutian died at Lin Ye’s hands, everyone would be happy.

The higher-ups of the Dragon Race could forget about cooperating with the Demon Sword Race. The risk of her marrying out would be reduced to nearly none in the short term.

As for the promise to marry Lin Ye, she did not say when…

A hundred years later, when she became the Dragon Emperor and controlled the authority of the Dragon Race, who would dare to force her?

With this in mind, she instantly concluded her thoughts.

“Let’s wait and see first. If Lin Ye wins, we win. If Guan Yutian wins, we can still run.”

After making up her mind, Princess Nightshade made the decision. Her figure turned into a phantom and her divine sense surged into the Dragon Cave World to silently monitor it.
