Chapter 136: The Dragon Who Dies Before the World’s End p1
Breathing became difficult, every muscle in her body refusing to obey. Her consciousness gradually faded, and Helena saw a future where she was choked to death by the girl before her.
Carol’s sudden attack caught everyone off guard. Even Kailun hadn’t anticipated this turn of events.
Chrissy, who had arrived first and was confronting Fox, turned around in shock, staring at Carol. In her memory, Carol had always been peaceful and unassertive.
This was the first time she had witnessed Carol displaying such killing intent.
But she couldn’t understand. This was clearly the first time Carol and Helena had met. Why was there such intense hatred between them?
“Ugh…”
Helena let out a pained groan, feeling like her neck was about to be crushed by the girl’s grip.
“You deserve to die,” a calm voice whispered into Helena’s ear.
Just as Carol was about to increase her strength and snap Helena’s neck, Kailun’s hand landed on her shoulder.
“Let her go. It would be a shame to kill her like this, wouldn’t it?”
Having experienced a past life, Kailun could vaguely guess the reason.
He believed that the emotions of his past life could influence his present life in a special way. The hatred between Carol and the assassin girl was likely formed in his previous life.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the person the assassin girl had killed was Bella, the dragon girl from the Abyss.
Fox had once revealed that everyone had a good relationship with Bella. In a sense, she was the darling of the entire Abyss.
Now, not only was Carol displaying icy killing intent, but Fox was also staring at Helena with hatred in her eyes.
However, unlike Carol, Fox was more restrained.
“Can’t I just kill her now?” Carol asked, her grip on Helena’s neck reluctant to loosen.
She didn’t know why she hated this girl so much, but she desperately wanted to kill her, to erase her existence completely.
“You should know me. Sometimes, killing someone is actually a form of mercy. As someone by my side, you should be familiar with my methods. Of course, if you really want to kill her now, I won’t stop you.”
Kailun patted Carol’s head affectionately.
To him, keeping Helena alive was far more beneficial than killing her. Compared to killing her directly, he preferred to capture her body and soul.
However, this was just Kailun’s own preference. He didn’t think everyone was as strange as him.
“Consider yourself lucky!”
Carol glared at Helena and released her grip.
To her now, Kailun was the most important person. She would do anything to make him happy.
Compared to someone she wanted to kill for unknown reasons, she would rather leave her to Kailun to play with.
“Cough, cough…”
Helena slid down the wall, clutching her neck and coughing violently. The feeling of being reborn brought tears to her eyes.
She looked at Kailun, who was standing behind Carol, with gratitude in her eyes. If it weren’t for his intervention, she might really be dead.
Like a mouse meeting a cat, she didn’t dare to resist Carol at all.
Deep fear was etched into her soul. Just a glance from Carol would make her tremble.
In contrast, Saint Chrissy of the Temple of the Celestial God didn’t care about her life or death at all.
“Killing her now would indeed be troublesome, so let’s keep her alive for now.”
Chrissy gave up confronting the Fox and darted towards Kailun, hugging him tightly from behind, as if trying to meld into his body.
Pressing her ample bosom against Kailun’s back, she rubbed against him subtly.
“I don’t like her either. Can I kill her?”
Fox followed Chrissy and stood beside Kailun, staring intently at Helena, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Sensing Fox’s gaze, the pitiful Helena quickly lowered her head and huddled in the corner.
She was on the verge of tears. Although the pressure from Fox wasn’t as terrifying as Carol’s, it was still considerable.
Comparing the two to Kailun, she realized that he was actually the kindest one present.
At this moment, Helena was like a small squirrel surrounded by executioners, trembling so much that she had none of the bearing of an assassin.
Rose, as an outsider, couldn’t understand the current situation at all. First, two incredibly beautiful girls found Kailun and started confronting each other for no apparent reason.
Then another equally beautiful girl barged in, only to be choked by the white-haired girl within a second, almost dying.
Especially the woman with fox ears gave her a bad feeling. Could she be from the Abyss?
Thinking of this, the young man’s identity became even more mysterious. She couldn’t guess who he was at all.
It seemed that beauty was the least valuable thing here. Every girl in the room was as beautiful as she was.
Looking around, her strength wasn’t even considered strong.
Whether it was the blonde girl clinging to the playboy, the woman with fox ears, or the pitiful girl pressed against the wall, they were all much stronger than her.
Most importantly, these girls, who might have reached the eighth rank, all listened to Kailun.
Now it seemed that her status as an escort was truly insignificant.
Rose walked over, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but Kailun turned his head and noticed her movement.
“Oh right, let me introduce you to my new escort, Rose. She’s the Queen of the Rose Kingdom.”
Kailun pushed Chrissy, who was clinging to his back, away and introduced Rose to everyone.
Rose looked embarrassed but didn’t refute Kailun’s words.
Hearing that she was the Queen of the Rose Kingdom, everyone looked at her with strange expressions.
The Queen of the Rose Kingdom had become the enemy’s escort? Was this a joke?
“Kai…”
Fox opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Kailun immediately gave her a look.
Kailun: “It’s not convenient to talk now. I’ll invite you all to dinner after the morning ceremony. Go back first. We’ll talk about everything over dinner.”
In this situation, Chrissy and Fox might even fight.
Plus, he needed some time to deal with Rose, so the best solution was to separate everyone.
He reached out and ruffled Carol’s hair. He would need to comfort her later.
“How could you do this? It’s too much! I came all this way to see you, but you don’t even have me in your heart.”
Chrissy clung to Kailun’s arm reluctantly. If there were fewer people here, she might have already bent over for him.
“If you still want to sleep with me, then be obedient. Otherwise, that ninth-rank mage from your Temple of the Celestial God will become suspicious.”
Kailun pulled his arm out from Chrissy’s ample bosom.
“You’re too much! I want you all to myself tonight.” Chrissy kissed Kailun in dissatisfaction. “As for the dinner you mentioned, forget it. Koya is very cautious. She wouldn’t dare to see you.”
Chrissy knew very well that if she wanted to meet with Kailun privately, she had to do it secretly.
For the sake of Kailun’s plan, she couldn’t reveal her identity. Her status as the Saint of the Temple could provide Kailun with a lot of useful information.
She wanted to be someone useful to Kailun so that she could get more rewards.
Besides, this feeling of sneaking around seemed quite nice. It had a different kind of thrill that was exciting just to think about.
Seeing the lust in Chrissy’s eyes, Kailun helplessly patted her bottom. “Go back first. We’ll contact each other through magic letters later.”
“Then I’ll leave first. As for this guy whose name I don’t even know, I’ll leave her to you. I’ll explain to Koya and say I sent her out to gather information.”
Perhaps sensing the conflict between Helena and the others, Chrissy kindly left her behind.
Hearing Chrissy’s words, Helena looked up with tears welling up in her eyes.
She had never felt so wronged before. She didn’t want to stay here. Just feeling Carol’s gaze made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, wishing she could commit suicide to apologize.
“Thank you,” Carol said to Chrissy. She needed Helena to stay.
Chrissy smiled at Carol. “You’re welcome. We’re on the same side, aren’t we?”
She knew Carol’s position in Kailun’s heart, so she was willing to befriend her.
Helena: “…”
Hearing them make arrangements for her, her eyes dimmed.
“I’m leaving. Save a spot for me tonight, Master~”
Chrissy playfully stuck out her tongue at Kailun and skipped out of the private room, seemingly in a good mood.
“As you said, we’ll talk at noon. The old Dragon King of the Dragon Clan also wants to meet you. He’s one of the main forces of the Abyss.”
Fox left these words and followed Chrissy out of the private room.
Ever since seeing Helena, a crazy thought had formed in her mind.
She needed time to verify it. She couldn’t tell what the fate surrounding Helena was.
It felt like the entire world’s malice towards her. If this influence continued, Helena would lose all sense of existence.
Helena was losing something important, and so was she.
Fox secretly glanced at Kailun. She felt that only he knew the answer.
It was only after Fox and Chrissy had left that Rose finally couldn’t help but ask, “Who are they?”
It wasn’t strange for her to wonder. After all, she had just heard words like “Temple of the Celestial God” and “Abyss”.
“Oh, them? They’re my cuddle toys and pets. The blonde girl, Chrissy, is my exclusive cuddle toy. She’s the Saint of the Temple of the Celestial God. You should know her. The foolish one with fox ears is called Fox. She’s an important figure in the Abyss and a beloved pet of mine.”
Kailun closed the door to the private room with a smile. It was truly a happy occasion to see Chrissy and the Fox again.
“Saint? Fox?”
Rose was even more surprised after hearing Kailun’s explanation.
In her impression, the Saint was a big shot from the Temple of the Celestial God. This time, she came to the Xiya Kingdom with a ninth-rank escort. She hadn’t expected this young man to turn the Saint into his cuddle toy.
And he could actually joke around with someone from the Abyss, clearly maintaining a good relationship with them.
“No need to be surprised. The world is far more absurd than you think. Come and continue massaging my feet. The Chamber of Commerce ceremony is about to enter its second stage. There might be even more interesting things to come.”
Kailun smiled and returned to the sofa, lying down on Hilna’s lap.
Despite all that had just happened, Hilna was calmly eating fruit from the table.
She wished these people would fight, preferably involving Kailun and getting him killed.
Kailun rested his head on the absolute territory between Hilna’s skirt and her knee-high socks, the soft sensation clearly transmitted to his face.
The girl’s skin was as smooth as sheep fat, warm and with a faint fragrance.
If he were lying straight, he could see her perky and towering peaks covering Hilna’s face.
Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable, he lifted Hilna’s skirt slightly, increasing the area of the absolute territory so that he could better feel the beauty of her thighs.
The only problem was that this action caused Hilna to flash him, revealing quite a bit of scenery.
However, to Hilna now, even if Kailun’s behavior was rude, it wouldn’t lower her goodwill.
There was no other reason, she was just used to it.
Hilna looked at Kailun, who was lying on her lap, and shook her head helplessly. She picked a crystal-clear grape from the fruit plate and popped it into his mouth.
Rose followed Kailun to the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she went to the other side and started massaging his legs.
The more mysterious and powerful Kailun appeared, the more she had to be cautious.
Even someone as arrogant as the Saint had become his plaything. She couldn’t help but think deeply.
[You have become even more mysterious in Rose’s eyes. Goodwill +5, Total Goodwill -65]
“Vulgar woman,” Kailun muttered, glancing at Rose who was massaging his feet.
Kailun had Rose sit on the end of the sofa, then took off his shoes and placed his feet on her thighs. He then turned his attention to the stage on the first floor.
Ella had just finished explaining the basic principles of the Chamber of Commerce. Now she was showcasing their main product.
It was called “Lucky Potion,” and its effect was to allow those lucky enough to experience mental power comparable to a ninth-rank mage, lasting for five minutes to an hour.
After a brief introduction, Ella randomly selected a well-known Chamber of Commerce president to try it out.
At first, everyone thought it was a gimmick, but when the president drank the potion and terrifying mental power swept through the venue, everyone started to believe it.
The first lucky person lasted for ten minutes, and their strength increased significantly.
To increase credibility, Ella selected another lucky person for a demonstration, but the second person only lasted for eight minutes.
However, during those eight minutes, the second person broke through from the fifth rank to the sixth rank, a result even more shocking than the first.
When Ella announced that the potion was priced at 100,000 gold coins per bottle, with a limited quantity of ten bottles, most of the people with sufficient financial resources found the exorbitant price acceptable.
Rose was stunned by the terrifying effect of the Lucky Potion, her hands freezing mid-massage.
“Don’t stop,” Kailun said, scratching her stomach with his toes, signaling her to focus on her work.
“Don’t you have any thoughts about this potion?” Rose asked while continuing to massage Kailun’s feet.
“Of course I do. I’ve already asked my subordinates to buy it for me. What, does Queen Rose want some too? If you can please me, I might give you a few bottles.”
Kailun shifted his gaze to Rose.
Two queens from his past life, one giving him a lap pillow, the other massaging his feet. This was a novel experience.
“What do you want?”
Rose looked at Kailun warily. If he asked her to sell her body, she would definitely refuse.
“Be my escort for a month. I can pay you two bottles of Lucky Potion as a deposit. Afterward, I can also help you solve the problem with the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms, allowing you to unify the three kingdoms.”
Kailun lifted his foot and used his toes to lift Rose’s chin, his frivolous attitude making her want to punch him.
But the conditions he offered were very tempting. She could refuse the potion worth 200,000 gold coins, but the trouble with Madden and Kaz was something she couldn’t ignore.
“Just be your escort?” Rose asked, slightly tilting her head.
“What do you think?” Kailun scanned Rose’s alluring figure with a suggestive gaze. His meaning was self-evident.
“Sorry, I need to think about it.”
Rose pulled Kailun’s foot down and held it in her hands.
“Alright, I’ll give you three days. If you change your mind, contact me through Bruce.”
Kailun wasn’t in a hurry. He was a master of playing hard to get.
Since Rose had already come to him, he naturally wouldn’t let her go.
A pure and married queen. This was a rare attribute.
To further increase Rose’s psychological pressure, he mischievously reached under Hilna’s skirt in front of Rose, making her moan softly.
[Your outrageous behavior has deepened Rose’s disgust. Goodwill -10, Total Goodwill -75]
Rose was certain. “This” was someone even more repulsive than Hilna.
