Chapter 603: I, Extorted a Giant Dragon (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

What, what did you say? You actually dare to scheme against this old dragon!

The Demon King-level white dragon had a mouthful of profanities it didn't know whether to speak; it never expected that this "Fifth-tier Beastmaster" in its eyes would play completely outside the rules.

Not only the Demon King-level white dragon, but the dragons lined up in a row and the secretly observing Dou Zhangde were also dumbfounded.

No one expected that Li Zhangsheng would actually scheme against the Demon King-level white dragon.

Unexpectedly, the dragons present gazed at Li Zhangsheng with grateful eyes, looking quite jubilant and inspired.

This was truly wonderful; ever since the Demon King-level white dragon took charge of the Dragon Lair, the quality of life for the dragons had dropped by more than a notch, especially their hard-earned treasures, many of which had been forcibly snatched away by the Demon King-level white dragon.

For a moment, in the eyes of these greedy dragons, Li Zhangsheng was no different from a savior.

Li Zhangsheng ignored the dragons' gratitude; he was now facing two choices: one was the top-grade Heluo Turtle, and the other was the Demon King-level white dragon before him.

The top-grade Heluo Turtle went without saying, but it was truly of little use to Li Zhangsheng; it could only become his temporary spirit pet, or be given away or auctioned off.

As for the Demon King-level white dragon, although it had no potential left to speak of, its strength and quality were there, so it could be used to guard the house.

Besides that, it could also be used to pull a carriage; using a Demon King-level white dragon to pull a carriage, wouldn't that be incredibly prestigious?

Finally, there was the Demon King-level white dragon's collection over the years; Li Zhangsheng had scanned it, and although there were no Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure-grade items, there were several pieces of the next-best Heaven and Earth Essence.

Since you've become my dragon, it's fine for me to keep it for you temporarily, right? At the very least, I can "barter," using gold and jewelry of little value to exchange for treasures.

Looking at these three points, the Demon King-level white dragon better suited Li Zhangsheng's interests; after all, as long as he was given a few days, he could advance to the Sixth Rank and complete a temporary contract with it.

A Temporary Contract allows one to contract a spirit beast one rank higher than the Beastmaster, though the spirit beast can easily break free from the Temporary Contract Imprint.

However, for a spirit beast like a dragon, even if it is disobedient, you can completely lure it with benefits; once Li Zhangsheng becomes an Emperor Rank, the Demon King-level white dragon will never be able to escape his grasp again.

After the Demon King-level white dragon recovered from its stupor, it hurriedly shouted: "Human, I am not within the range of choices."

"Don't try to trick me; according to the rules of the Core Royal Garden, I can choose any spirit beast in the Core Royal Garden at will, and you should be included in that!"

Li Zhangsheng did not want to let this opportunity slip by; the logic was sound, wasn't this Demon King-level white dragon without a master? How was it any different from a wild spirit beast?

"I, I... in short, this is impossible!"

The Demon King-level white dragon's mind was initially in chaos, and for a moment, it couldn't think of a reason to refute, as Li Zhangsheng hadn't said anything wrong.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared abruptly in the Dragon Lair; it was the person in charge of the Core Royal Garden—Dou Zhangde.

Dou Zhangde came here naturally to protect this Demon King-level white dragon; otherwise, without the Demon King-level white dragon in charge, wouldn't those non-Imperial Family members be able to pick dragons in the Dragon Lair at will?

Dou Zhangde stroked his beard and said: "Lord Li Zhangsheng, you may choose from these dragons at will, but Ruixifeierzi is not among them."

"Then let me ask you, does it count as a wild spirit beast?"

While Li Zhangsheng was speaking, his 13 demon pets all turned their gazes toward Dou Zhangde in unison.

Even though Dou Zhangde was a Pseudo-King, he only had one Demon King-level demon pet and was at the bottom of the barrel among Pseudo-Kings; being stared at by these 13 Lord-level demon pets, he felt immense pressure.

For some reason, Dou Zhangde felt that he might not be able to beat Li Zhangsheng...

Dou Zhangde shook his head vigorously, casting aside this unrealistic thought; now was not the time to think about such things.

"Yes, Ruixifeierzi is indeed a wild spirit beast, but it was once the late Emperor's demon pet; it is truly inappropriate for you to take it away."

Dou Zhangde did not deny it; after a Beastmaster dies, the demon pet loses its contract bindings and is indeed no different from a wild spirit beast.

The only drawback is that these spirit beasts that have lost their masters, even if contracted again, will lose the possibility of further advancement.

"Since it is a wild spirit beast, then it is not against the rules for me to take it away!"

Li Zhangsheng didn't care about that; he didn't want the duck that had already reached his hand to fly away.

Dou Zhangde laughed instead of getting angry; he thought of a reason to refuse: "It is indeed not against the rules, but the premise is that you can contract Ruixifeierzi? You can only take it away if you contract it. I ask you, can you contract it?"

"Is he really a Fifth-tier Beastmaster?" The Demon King-level white dragon stared with its bucket-sized eyes, and after seeing Dou Zhangde nod, it couldn't help but feel it was absurd.

He wasn't lying; he really was a Fifth-tier Beastmaster!

"My heavens, to have such a strong Fifth-tier Beastmaster; it seems I cannot be as careless as I was today in the future."

The Demon King-level white dragon thought to itself that if it encountered a Fifth-tier Beastmaster again in the future, it would only fight one-on-one; it would absolutely never give the other party a chance to gang up on it again.

Li Zhangsheng's eyeballs rolled around, and he immediately had a countermeasure: "Yes, I indeed cannot contract it, but I can kill it. The remains and collection of a Demon King-level white dragon are worth me giving up this opportunity."

As Li Zhangsheng's voice fell, the Demon King-level white dragon felt its fur stand on end; it was terrified, wondering how there could be such a ruthless person.

At the same time, the 13 demon pets moved their steps slightly, surrounding the Demon King-level white dragon and giving it no chance to escape.

Dou Zhangde opened his mouth; he found that he could not refute.

The remains and collection of a Demon King-level white dragon were likely worth a million Soul Crystals, more valuable than a dragon cub.

Dragons are treasures from head to toe; the corpse alone could sell for tens of thousands of Soul Crystals, and the corpse of a Demon King-level dragon is almost ten times that of an ordinary dragon. If one adds the Demon King-level white dragon's collection, Li Zhangsheng was not wrong.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng was just saying it; if he couldn't take the Demon King-level white dragon away, he couldn't implement a decapitation tactic and would have to settle for the top-grade Heluo Turtle.

Since it concerned the face of the Imperial Family, Dou Zhangde naturally could not let Li Zhangsheng kill the Demon King-level white dragon, but he did not have absolute certainty in stopping Li Zhangsheng from completing the kill.

Seeing that Dou Zhangde had not found a reason to refute, and being surrounded by 13 Lord-level demon pets, the Demon King-level white dragon grew anxious and decided to save itself.

"Human, I have hidden some dragon eggs; as long as you are willing to spare the great Ruixifeierzi, you can choose any dragon egg!"

Li Zhangsheng asked back: "Ruixifeierzi, can I consider this dragon egg a gift from you to me?"

If it were a gift, Li Zhangsheng could also take the top-grade Heluo Turtle along the way.

Without hesitation, Dou Zhangde spoke up to refute: "No, if you choose a dragon egg, you cannot contract a spirit beast from the Core Royal Garden!"

If Li Zhangsheng chose a precious dragon egg and then contracted a dragon, the value would already exceed that of the Demon King-level white dragon and its collection.

It was unknown when, but the Demon King-level white dragon and its collection had become Dou Zhangde's unit of measurement for value.

"Is that so? Then I might as well kill it." Li Zhangsheng shook his head with regret, then gazed at the Demon King-level white dragon with eyes full of pity.

The Demon King-level white dragon shook its large head and said pitifully: "No, human, you cannot kill me. To compensate for your loss, the great Ruixifeierzi allows you to choose one item from my collection!"

"Are you trying to dismiss a beggar? At least this much."

Li Zhangsheng didn't speak, but held up a palm.

"No, two items at most, no more!"

Dragons value wealth as their lives, and Ruixifeierzi was no exception; it even gathered rare courage and began to argue on grounds.

After some bargaining, Li Zhangsheng and the Demon King-level white dragon reached a consensus; Ruixifeierzi was willing to trade three treasures in exchange for its life.

Seeing this situation, Dou Zhangde could only sigh helplessly, while looking at Li Zhangsheng with a strange gaze.

Li Zhangsheng used intimidation to extort the Demon King-level white dragon step by step; even ignoring his strength, this guy was a rare talent.

In addition, Dou Zhangde decided that upon returning, he would propose to his imperial brother Dou Zhangsheng to grant the Demon King-level white dragon an 'Undying Golden Body', so as to prevent anyone from imitating Li Zhangsheng in the future.

Li Zhangsheng arrived before the Demon King-level white dragon's mountain of treasure; these treasures covered an area of several hundred square meters and were generally five or six meters high, which was truly outrageous.

Of course, gold, silver, and jewelry certainly made up the vast majority.

Even so, there were still quite a few precious items.

Based on the energy fluctuations, Li Zhangsheng picked and chose for a while, quickly selecting the three treasures with the most intense energy fluctuations.

Li Zhangsheng directly put them into his Space Ring, preparing to deal with them after returning.

"Right, Ruixifeierzi, where is the Dragon Egg you hid?"

Li Zhangsheng had not forgotten the Dragon Egg; although he felt the probability of a top-grade Dragon Egg appearing was very low, there was still a certain possibility after all.

The Demon King-level white dragon reined in its pained expression, spat out a one-meter-square stone slab from its mouth, carefully pinched the slab with its Dragon Claw, and channeled energy from its body into it.

In an instant, a beam of crystalline light shot out from the stone slab and landed on the rock wall to the side in the blink of an eye.

Clatter~

The next moment, the rock wall trembled violently, and immediately after, a secret chamber was revealed.

To Li Zhangsheng's surprise, there were over twenty Spirit Beast eggs here.

Dou Zhangde clearly knew the situation here and said: "Not only are there Dragon Eggs here, but they also include quite a few Spirit Beast eggs of other Quasi-Gods; you can choose one. Of course, if you don't like any of them, just pretend I didn't say anything."

The Spirit Beast eggs in this secret chamber were specially prepared for the direct descendants of the Imperial Family.

Twenty-some eggs seemed like a lot, but Emperor Dou Zhangsheng alone had over twenty offspring, not to mention other direct members of the Imperial Family.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to release his Mental Power to carefully sense the aura of this batch of Spirit Beast eggs.

Thank you very much to the editor-in-chief and Shengxia for the guide recommendation, even if you can't see this.
