Chapter 388: Volume 1 Chapter 388 Evil Dragon x Slave x Witch (8)

In an instant, that huge figure took on a human shape, black mist spread, the surrounding vision blurred, and then came an astonishing oppressive force.

Xiaohei looked ahead without a sound, his body unmoving; facing the world's strongest demon beast, not a ripple stirred in his eyes.

Suddenly, he was suspended in midair by a terrifying force, and that figure appeared before his eyes.

It was a man whose body was covered in golden lines; the instant he raised his finger, Xiaohei's neck emitted a crisp crack, twisted and reconnected, and every bone throughout his body suffered the same fate.

Broken and reassembled.

It lasted a long time.

The Evil Dragon felt bored, he crouched to one side, wearily raising his brows, his abyss-like voice icy to the extreme.

"Lowly human, as long as you voluntarily break the contract, I can fulfill any of your wishes."

—

Jiang Zhi, who had lost nearly half her life, dragged Xiaohei and Your Majesty Gu He onto the cloak.

Riding the wind, they arrived at an open clearing in Chendi where low-level demon beasts roamed.

She set up a concealment barrier, collapsed on the ground gasping, her physical and spiritual strength completely exhausted.

Using the Dark Forbidden Technique, her price was to shrink.

Her appearance changed from her early twenties to that of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.

After shrinking, the black robe she wore dragged on the ground, making her look like a child wearing adult clothes, petite and delicate.

This state needs to last several weeks; she doesn't know the exact duration.

She might revert to her original form as soon as tomorrow.

She thought that.

His gaze fell on Xiaohei lying on the ground; Xiaohei had been unconscious for over an hour. After the forbidden technique was cast, the seal site collapsed and exploded, nearby high-level demon beasts had already fled, leaving only the few of them.

The cross-dressing big shot Gu He fainted on the spot; without his summoned beast, he would have died outright.

Jiang Zhi took a pen from her Magic Bag and continuously drew talismans.

She intended to refine Xiaohei into her puppet.

Only then would the Evil Dragon not use his body to destroy the world.

Now, because of the Dark Forbidden Technique, the Evil Dragon's and Xiaohei's lives are linked; once the Evil Dragon awakens, Jiang Zhi cannot stop him.

The refinement has not yet begun.

The Half-beast woke up, his face and body covered in talismans; he stared blankly, then lifted the yellow talisman covering his eye corner, looking toward the little girl holding a pen not far away.

"Mas... master?"

The little girl's face lit up with surprise: "Xiaohei!! You haven't been possessed by the Evil Dragon, have you??"

Xiaohei shook his head, a hint of doubt flickering in his black eyes.

He clearly hadn't expected that opening his eyes would reveal his master transformed into a little girl.

Jiang Zhi lifted her skirt, the wide hood covering her head, she raised her hand with difficulty to take off the hood and said: "This is a side effect of the Dark Forbidden Technique; it will be fine soon."

After speaking, she pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses over her right eye, scanned the Half-beast's body, and felt something odd.

Why hadn't the Evil Dragon forcibly taken over his body?

"Your willpower is incredibly strong." That was the only reason.

His willpower was strong enough to resist the Evil Dragon's mental torment and stabilize his own soul.

Xiaohei rose from the ground.

Suddenly, golden markings sprouted on the Half-beast's skin, spreading like vines across his body; his black hair gradually turned snow-white, his dark eyes shifted to vertical golden pupils, and the corners of his mouth curled into a deep grin.

"Tsk, how long has it been since I came out?" His demeanor was completely different from Xiaohei's; his golden vertical pupils glowed with a violent light, blood-red veins traced his eyes, and that extraordinarily handsome face resembled a hellish demon, sending chills down one's spine.

"Twenty thousand years? Fifty thousand years? Or even more?" The white uniform on his back tore apart, two massive golden bat-like wings unfurled, their edges tipped with sharp hooks, swaying in midair.

"It's been so long I've forgotten."

Jiang Zhi saw this, gripped her pen tightly, and instantly drew a yellow talisman.

Ice-cold iron-like shackles shot up from the ground, swiftly coiling around the Evil Dragon's limbs; the chains clinked as they struck, and his gaze shifted to her face.

"Lowly human, do you think this trinket can bind me?"

Jiang Zhi couldn't understand why the Evil Dragon had suddenly taken over his body—could it be that Xiaohei inside could no longer hold out?

She gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and cast the spell.

The shackles surged with rolling flames, enveloping him.

The Evil Dragon snorted.

Almost as soon as he raised his hand, the flames died out and the shackles snapped.

"Was it you who bound me in this body?"

Jiang Zhi gave up struggling, sitting on the ground with a "just destroy me already" attitude, and said, "Yes, what's wrong with me?"

Her words hadn't even finished.

The Evil Dragon's form vanished from where he stood and instantly appeared before her, his hand reaching out to clutch her throat.

The force in his hand was astonishing; Jiang Zhi's breathing grew weaker, and just as she was about to pass out, the young man before her saw his golden markings fade, his white hair return to black, and he withdrew his hand.

The fingers suspended in midair trembled wildly; Xiaohei's pupils contracted sharply, he stared at his own hand in disbelief, stepped back two paces, then drew a dagger intending to kill himself.

Jiang Zhi, still catching her breath, stopped him as quickly as she could.

"What... what are you doing?"

Xiaohei's eye sockets were red, his expression shrouded in fear.

Afraid he had killed her.

Jiang Zhi grasped his icy, trembling hand and whispered, "It's not your fault."

The Evil Dragon suddenly appeared, and even she hadn't expected it.

Besides, it wasn't Xiaohei who wanted to choke her to death; it was that vicious Evil Dragon that wanted to kill her.

"I—I am dead..." He spoke haltingly, not very well, somewhat anxious: "He's dead too."

Jiang Zhi understood his meaning.

As long as Xiaohei dies, the Evil Dragon inside his body will also die.

But.

"There is a way." Her body became that of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, she grew shorter, she grabbed his arm, and speaking to him took some effort.

Jiang Zhi said earnestly: "I don't want to watch you die, Xiaohei; I will find a way to get rid of the Evil Dragon, so please don't do this again, okay?"

Xiaohei half-kneeled on the ground, level with her gaze, and said: "Can he? You die, kill you."

—But he wants you dead, wants to kill you.

Jiang Zhi gave a light smile: "He can't kill me."

Not long after buying Xiaohei, she placed a spell on him.

When Xiaohei hurts her, he himself also gets hurt.

So when the Evil Dragon came to choke her, she had nothing to fear.

Xiaohei heard her explanation and breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head, staring at his palm, his thin lips pressed tightly together.

Once his consciousness weakens, the Evil Dragon will take over his body.

In the dream realm, the Evil Dragon gives him the chance to fulfill his wishes.

Whether it be money or power, or anything else he desires, the Evil Dragon promises he can give it to him.

As long as they can break their contract.

Xiaohei has no wishes; he only wants to stay by his master's side.

Xiaohei did not accept the Evil Dragon's terms.
