Chapter 11: The Greedy Dragon
The strong light shrouded Candle Ye and the villagers in it, others couldn't see it clearly, but Candle Ye could see it clearly, only to see the dragon scales that originally grew on the villagers' bodies fell off one by one, and then embedded them on Candle Ye's body one by one, Candle Ye only felt that his vitality was being quickly plundered by these dragon scales, but he still gritted his teeth and held back to prevent himself from fainting, he knew very well that once he couldn't hold on, these villagers would definitely transfer the remaining dragon scales to Lingyu, which he didn't want to see.

The scales were embedded one by one, and Candle Ye's consciousness was blurring little by little, he didn't know how long he could last, he only knew that the longer he could last, the lower the possibility of Lingyu being harmed, if he could, Candle Ye wanted to reduce this possibility to zero.
But just when the dragon scales had almost shifted, the scene in front of Candle Ye's eyes suddenly changed, and he was surrounded by heavy darkness all around, as if he had been trapped after the earthquake, but the darkness here seemed more pure and more terrifying.
Just as Candle Ye was shocked by the sudden darkness, a voice suddenly sounded in the endless darkness:
"Truly...... I'm finally resurrected!!I'm finally resurrected!!Heaven doesn't live up to me, God doesn't live up to me!!" The voice was full of joy and coldness that humans don't have.
"You...... Who are you? What is this place?"
"I am the dragon of greed, one of the Seven Ancient Sins Dragons, and your consciousness is now in the spiritual cage I have created, so your body is now under my control. β
"Although it's a weak body, but the talent is really good, I like it, and I ...... it."
"You ......" Candle Ye just wanted to continue talking, but found that he had clearly said something but did not make any sound.
"Truly...... Don't forget that this is my mental cage, and everything in this cage is decided by me, even the voice. If it weren't for the fact that touching your consciousness will make your body lose its vitality, do you think your consciousness can still survive until now? But you can only spend it here in the future, alas~ It's really pitiful, I feel sorry for you for a second. β
"......" Candle Ye shouted with his mouth wide open in the dark, but in the eyes of others, he only opened his mouth and did not speak like a fool.
"I can't hear what you're talking about, huh...... , I finally got my body, I haven't enjoyed the pleasure of killing for a long time, let's have a shot after a long time. With that, the Greedy Dragon stopped moving, apparently trying to control its new body.
"!!" The last words of the greedy dragon made Candle Ye's heart tighten, there were only those villagers and Lingyu outside, did it want to ......
β¦β¦
The light of the circle gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of the villagers and Candle Ye, whose whole body was covered with dragon scales, and there was no longer a single human skin to be found. The villagers who entered the magic circle touched the parts of their bodies with dragon scales, and sure enough, the dragon scales had disappeared from their bodies cleanly.
The villagers cheered, completely forgetting the candle lying on the other side, and the spiritual rain that was tied to the circle and crying like a tearful man.
The excitement of the villagers gradually decreased, and finally someone pointed to Lingyu and asked the village chief, "Village chief, are we really going to let that little girl go?" Candle Ye and these outsiders may not know, but their own village people know, and their village chief is only able to speak of alchemy, spiritual power cultivation? Save it, the village chief has barely reached the level of the lower spirit envoy, and according to their speculation, the strength of the spirit rain has at least reached the lower spirit envoy, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to get here through the forest, and they can cultivate to the spirit envoy at the age of seven or eight, which is quite good. If she lets her go, she cultivates for a few years and then comes back to take revenge, won't they still have to die?
"Quiet, quiet," the village chief said to the villagers with his hands in a weak squeeze, "although I did promise the little ghost to release this girl just now, but everyone also knows that because of the strange disease in our village, no foreign girl has married into our village for many years, so for the sake of our village's survival-" He turned to Lingyu and announced his decision loudly:
"Leave this little girl behind and give birth to a child in our village in the future. β
"The village chief is wise!"
"The village chief really thinks about the village. β
ββ¦β¦β
The villagers echoed one after another, and many male villagers were even more gearing up, preparing to please the village chief and marry this girl to themselves, after all, the blind can see that this little girl like a porcelain doll is an out-and-out beauty embryo.
"You ......! you scumbags!!" Lingyu shouted loudly, but none of the villagers listened to her words.
"The village chief...... This...... That's not good...... After all, the child died for us......" A discordant voice rang out among the villagers, and the source of the voice was none other than the old woman who had just retreated from the battle, and in her arms was her grandson who had just been cured.
"You're noisy, old woman. β
"yes, there's no place for you to speak. β
"If you speak again, let the village chief stick the dragon scales back to your grandson. β
ββ¦β¦β
The old woman's speech naturally aroused a wave of dissatisfaction, and the villagers cursed the poor old man with the dirtiest and most obscene words, and after the dragon scales had faded, they seemed to be more confident, and scolded people more harshly than before.
"Truly...... After all this time, humanity is still the same ugly, and I really can't figure out why you won the great war at that time. β
The voice that didn't look like a human came from behind her, the villagers turned their heads one after another, Lingyu also turned her head stiffly, and the moment she turned her head, she still had a little expectation in her heart, the voice came from the direction of Candle Ye, could it be that Candle Ye was still ......
However, when she turned her head, she was stunned, like all the villagers, and at this time "Candle Ye" had already stood up. In addition to the fact that all the body was covered by dragon scales, there was a pair of wings growing behind him, although the wings were not big, but they faintly revealed endless majesty, this kind of wings the village chief had seen in a book, they were dragon wings.
In the eyes that "Candle Ye" opened, there was no distinction between black and white eyes, and there was only pure darkness in the eyes, which was as unfathomable as a black hole, and seemed to suck people's souls into it at any time.
That eye, the village chief had also seen in the book, it was the eye of a dragon, and it was the eye of the dragon king, because legend has it that only the eyes of the dragon king could be so weird.
Could it be that the imp has not only become a dragon, but also a dragon king?
"But it's just because it's ugly, it's fun to kill, ...... it's a ."
"Candle Ye" slowly raised one of his hands, his index finger moved lightly, and drew a circle, only to see a black sphere appear out of thin air in front of "Candle Ye", although the sphere is not big, but even people who feel sluggish can feel how terrifying the energy attached to it is.
Lingyu also knew at this time that the person in front of him was not Candle Ye, but a more terrifying existence.
"Dragon...... Lord Ryuking, I didn't know that Lord Ryuki would come here, and I was not ready to greet my lord, so please forgive me and spare the villain and this village. It was the village chief who spoke out, and at this time he no longer had the scenery just now, and his face was full of panic, but a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Truly...... I didn't expect that after such a long time, there would still be people who recognized me as the Dragon King...... Yes, I can consider not killing you~"
"Really? Thank you for not killing. The village chief hurriedly showed a disgusting flattering expression.
Hmph, this stupid dragon king, I can start the formation in reverse right away, if my guess is correct, as long as the dragon scales on your body are transferred to several people, then you will disappear with it. A dragon is still a dragon after all, and low intelligence is a hard injury. The village chief was secretly happy in his heart, as for the question of which people to transfer to, he wouldn't care, anyway, he wouldn't turn back to himself, the old woman was so annoyed just now, it would be better to turn the dragon scales back to her grandson......
There are five seconds left to reverse activate the circle, four, three......
Just when there were less than three seconds left before the formation was reversed, "Candle Ye" snapped his fingers lightly, only to see a faint light emitted from the formation on the ground, and then a crisp sound like broken glass sounded.
"Candle Ye" just snapped his fingers lightly, and then abolished the formation that the village chief had arranged for many years.
Candle Ye looked at the village chief, whose face was filled with disbelief, and then slowly turned into fear of death.
"Truly...... The reason why I didn't kill you right away was so that you could kill your hopes when you were only one step away from success, and every time I saw the expression of humanity falling from victory to the abyss of despair, I couldn't help but get excited. "Candle Ye" had a smile on his face, but unlike him before, it was a smile that could make people despair.
With a "plop", the village chief knelt on the ground, "villain...... The villain doesn't have long eyes, and please ask the dragon king to spare the villain, little ...... The villain is guilty. With that, he began to slap himself, each slap was so crisp and loud, the villagers were stunned, they had no idea what was happening, they only heard a crisp sound like glass breaking, but they didn't know why the village chief suddenly knelt on the ground and slapped himself.
"Alas~ That's not interesting. Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly got up, pushed aside the crowd and wanted to escape, but the ball suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in front of the village chief in an instant, and the village chief couldn't brake and hit the ball directly. Strange things happened, but the village chief's body began to disintegrate the moment it hit the ball, and even the flesh and bones were sucked into the black ball, but the ball was not affected in any way, but the volume was slightly enlarged.
"Run for your life!!"
"Help, a life that I finally picked up......"
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing this scene, one after another shouts began to sound, and the villagers began to flee in all directions, "Candle Ye" still had a seeping smile on his face, watching the villagers being sucked into the ball one by one, except for three people - Lingyu who was tied up, the old woman, and the grandson on the old woman's back.
The old woman did not run away, but knelt on the ground and kept crying, and then kept kowtowing, her forehead hitting the ground hard, and blood slowly flowed from her forehead. She understands that she can't escape, and all she can do is kneel and beg for mercy.
"Candle Ye" walked up to the old woman, hooked his fingers, and the dragon scales on the old woman's body were peeled off one by one, and then embedded in himself one by one. Blood flowed from the place where the scales had been peeled, but the old woman remained silent, still kowtowing all the time, and the blood on her forehead was increasing.
"Aren't you in pain?" Of course, Candle Ye asked not the pain on his forehead, he didn't use any magic circle to transfer the dragon scales just now, he just forcibly pulled the dragon scales off the old woman's body, this kind of severe pain is no different from directly tearing off a layer of skin.
"No pain, no pain, my lord, as long as you are happy, my old life is at your disposal, I just ask you to spare my grandson, please......" said the old woman, and her body did not rest for a moment, still kowtowing her head.
"It's not in line with my principle not to kill people. "Candle Ye" said, Xiaoqiu has come to the old woman, even if the old woman works so hard, she still can't change the fate of herself and her grandson being killed.
"Stop!!If you want to kill, kill me first. Just as Candle Ye was about to make a move, a voice interrupted the ball's advance.
Following the prestige, it was indeed the spiritual rain that was tied.
"It's not bad, is it? It's not all going to die anyway. β
"Don't you understand when I told you to kill you first?, you big stupid dragon, stupid dragon, stupid dragon......" Lingyu used the curse words he knew, and threw them to the greedy dragon one by one, trying to attract his attention, and then create time for the old man to escape, but after all, she was only a seven or eight-year-old girl, and it was still a little naΓ―ve to scold people.
"Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you. Unexpectedly, "Candle Ye" was really attracted by this childish scolding, and walked step by step towards the bound Lingyu.
The old woman immediately understood that Lingyu was buying time for herself to escape, and threw a grateful and guilty look at Lingyu, and then stood up with her grandson on her back and started running desperately in the opposite direction.
Greedy Dragon didn't look back, of course he knew that Lingyu deliberately attracted his attention in order to let the old woman escape, but not to mention that it was just an ordinary old woman. Even if it was an old woman with two guns, she would never be able to escape from her palm, and in his eyes, Lingyu's self-sacrifice was meaningless.
"Candle Ye" walked in front of Lingyu, and the little black ball also followed, staring at the little girl in front of him.
Lingyu stared at "Candle Ye"'s eyes full of darkness, tears slid down her face again, she really hated now, hated that she didn't cherish the time with him at the beginning, why couldn't she trust this boy all the time? Now, it's too late, and she can't see that charming smile anymore.
"Candle Ye, I'm sorry, I just started calling your name at this time, I don't know if you can hear it, but I know that everything is irreparable, I'm sorry, if there is a second chance, I will go to you for help, thank you for being my prince charming for the past few months, but unfortunately I haven't acted like a princess......"
The black ball is already close to the spiritual rain, and it is about to swallow the spiritual rain.
Candle Ye, who was in the dark, also seemed to feel that he was about to lose something important.
"Spiritual Rain ββ!!"
He knew what was most important to him, but he had no choice but to cry out powerlessly into the darkness.
But just when he was about to completely despair, a golden light suddenly emitted from his body, dispelling all the darkness.
The black ball suddenly stopped advancing, and the dragon scales on Candle Ye's body began to crack and then peel off.
"No...... Impossible!!How could a weak human being break through the spiritual cage of this king, this power ...... Could it be the real dragon......" The greedy dragon cried out, his words full of surprise.
Opening his eyes again, Candle Ye had already regained control of his body, looking at the bound Lingyu in front of him, he used his dragon claws that had not completely fallen off to cut the rope that bound Lingyu, and then finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted...... Before closing his eyes, he looked at the tearful spiritual rain in a daze.
It's beautiful, he thought so, and then he lost consciousness completely......
