2618 The group is stunned that SL is only 50th ranked, a lot weaker than them, with the PIF seething over rumours SL had taken the Garuda King’s treasure as well. CXY consoles the PIF, assuring her SL can’t compare since the PIF is stronger, while SL can’t even qualify for the inheritance. CXY plans to have SL gather the weapons for them, before giving her to the Demonic Clan as a bride.
2619 However, LXF and ZRY are stunned that ZW would act to protect someone, given his loner personality. With their combined strength, the PIF suggests stealing the Cheetah King’s treasure from the Demonic Clan. They arrive to see the rhino man receiving the Cheetah’s Heaven Thrusting Gun from his men, delighted at securing their first marked weapon, only for it to disappear from his grasp. Furious, the rhino man orders his men to chase after the PIF’s group. The group laughs at how easy it was to steal, when a furry figure lands on CXY’s head, scratching at his eyes.
2620 CXY feels pain in his fingers, when the gun is snatched from him by a chubby little ball of fur. The rest of the group is stunned to see the ball fly at the same speed, even with the weapon on its back. Chasing after it, CXY resolves to roast the creature but the gap between them doesn’t close. The PIF notes that it resembles a milky white dog, while ZYR uses his wind element to double their speed for 15 minutes.
2621 The group starts to close in on the little dragon, when it accelerates, just as it comes within reach. Stumped at how much energy it has, LXF surmises that it’s a Divine Dragon – the most noble of magical beasts. Having always disdained spirit beasts for being too weak, the PIF is suddenly intrigued, while CXY vows to help her get it.
2622 LXF and ZYR laugh that it’s too dignified to accept her, and that it’s more important to get the gun back. They resume chasing the dragon as it heads towards SL, sensing another treasure. Meanwhile SL is hiding behind a rock as the Crafty Thorn captain calls her out. Placing down white gas, SL runs out, covering her face and screaming at being poisoned, causing the rest of the squad to scatter. The little dragon heads towards SL, followed by the PIF’s squad and the Demonic Clan, when bolts of lightning start falling.
2623 SL looks up, stunned to see the little dragon, as the captain sees her face and is shocked by its beauty. When he questions her, the little dragon brandishes the gun at him, as the rest of the squad rage at being tricked, and that their captain had personally led her there. Furious, the captain attacks SL with flame lizards, only for the little dragon to eat them. He then starts chanting, resurrecting the bones of the dead.
2624 A crowd of skeletons starts to form. While dark elements can overwhelm others, SL easily clears it away since it’s weak to her light element, creating a path before her. Crafty Thorn members start chasing SL when the little dragon flies onto her shoulder, and the PIF recognizes SL. Both groups start closing in on her when the rhino man sniffs her out, blocking her path and leaving SL surrounded on all sides.
2625 As the dragon shyly hides behind her, SL is overwhelmed by the 3 groups but can play them against each other. Acting as her senior, the PIF demands SL’s marked weapons. When SL throws her the Tiger Combat Pole, the PIF delays asking for the rest to avoid informing Crafty Thorn. However, the little dragon bites down on the pole, unwilling to part with it, ignoring SL’s telepathic messages explaining her plans. The little dragon chomps on the pole before flying into SL’s arms, drawing the PIF’s attention.
2626 The PIF charges towards the dragon, laughing when SL declares that it’s her contract beast. Tribulation lightning suddenly falls from the sky. The little dragon tells SL it’s about to advance; while they’re usually assisted by family members, he had wanted to return to SL earlier. Since they’re surrounded, SL laughs, asking the PIF if she really wants the dragon.
Chapters 2627-2635 Return of the Dragon 2
2627 SL hands over the dragon, and it grips on the PIF’s skirt, unwilling to let go. The Crafty Thorn captain charges for the tiger pole, only to face LXF, when a dark cloud forms in the sky and lightning bursts out, directing striking the PIF’s head. Thinking she was just unlucky, the PIF reassures the dragon, when a second bolt falls down, only for CXY to intercept it before it hits her.
2628 The PIF is humiliated, realizing SL had only given her the dragon as it was advancing, wondering whether to hold it and retain its loyalty, or abandon it for her own safety. The PIF resolves herself when another bolt of lightning starts to form, with CXY hesitating to shield her again. Forming an ice shield, she notices that the 3rd strike is even more powerful than the last two, and throws the dragon away, wanting to protect her own life. However, the little dragon darts inside her clothes, roaming around her chest, a
