Chapter 4

In the midst of the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

The toothed soldier from the long street fled out of the city in shock, following the crowd. Outside the city, the view was wide open, and countless figures could be seen fleeing into the mountains, though not everyone was as fortunate as they were.

Just as they had escaped, a loud boom echoed from behind.

The city gate had collapsed!

Fierce flames devoured the city walls, and the densely packed crowd wailed in the crimson city, a scene akin to hell!

A dragon!

Is this a dragon?!

A single fire dragon could bring such destruction to a bustling city!

Human strength and human wisdom were utterly meaningless in the face of such a divine creature!

...

At the residence of the city lord of Yongcheng.

Outside the open gate, disaster loomed, the red light reflecting on the cheeks of the newly appointed city lord, who had just taken control of the city and now saw it turn into this mess after a few words of disagreement.

"Are you satisfied with this scene?" a pale-faced man inside the residence asked with a smile. His smile was devoid of warmth, instead giving a chilling sensation.

"This Dragon Tamer, I have no deep grudge against you, why would you..." the new city lord's voice trembled.

"Of course not, I just want you to understand that every word I say must be listened to carefully. I don't like repeating myself, as it makes me feel that you are belittling my existence. I also don't like hesitant answers, because you have no right to haggle with me!" the pale Dragon Tamer said.

"Mr. Luo Xiao, my daughter is in the prime of her youth, beautiful, and both wise and brave. If the Tamer likes her..." the city lord said.

The pale-faced Dragon Tamer, Luo Xiao, glanced at a woman of considerable beauty standing nearby, but sneered.

He unfolded the scroll in his hand again, pointing to the woman in the painting, his face twisted with malice. "I want her, I told you I want her. It seems I was too lenient. This city has no reason to exist."

"Tamer! Tamer!"

"The person you want was recently overthrown by my daughter, reduced to a prisoner, and then locked in the dungeon with a small beggar for several nights. Even if she is a rare beauty, she has now become the lowest and dirtiest of women. Moreover, it has been proven that she has nothing but a few alluring features." the white-haired city lord said.

Hearing this, the muscles in the Dragon Tamer's face twitched, and his eyes burned with overwhelming anger, making the golden fire dragon outside the hall even more fierce!

"What did you say?!" Luo Xiao's tone had completely changed, from disdain and arrogance to a palpable coldness!

Luo Xiao had endured countless hardships and humiliations, crossing the Dragon Gate at the brink of despair to achieve his current status as a Dragon Tamer.

After transforming into a dragon, the first thing he did was to prove himself to her, hoping she would look favorably upon him. He never imagined that the woman he had longed for would be defiled in Yongcheng by a dirty and lowly beggar!

"Dragon Tamer, you are the sun in the sky, and no one in this desolate land does not revere your glory. Why cling to a woman with a tarnished reputation and a dirty past? My daughter is still pure and graceful, with a few strategies for leading troops and governing the city. If you do not mind, she can marry you today to celebrate your leap over the Dragon Gate." the woman's voice was sharp, and her last words were laced with a seductive tone, like a gentle and intelligent little fox.

Luo Xiao glanced at the city lord's daughter again.

The new city lord, with his gray temples, seemed weak and effeminate, like a puppet eunuch, almost wetting his pants in fear at the sight of him. In contrast, this woman remained relatively calm in her words and actions.

Every time the new city lord spoke, he would look at this woman's expression. It was clear that the new city lord was merely a puppet, and this seductive and shrewd woman was the true ruler.

Seeing Luo Xiao's gaze, the seductive woman slowly lifted her head, allowing the Dragon Tamer to see her face clearly.

"Ha ha." Luo Xiao suddenly reached out and grabbed the neck of the city lord's daughter. "If she is a pearl, you and the stinking mud are no different. You, the scum born in this desolate land, do not deserve to live in this world!"

As he spoke, a dragon with a body of blazing flames slowly opened its mouth outside the open hall, its throat as hot as a forging furnace...

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The dragon's flames poured like a red river, melting the entire city residence. The relatives who had once wielded power within the residence were also melted into blood, along with the servants, maids, and slaves, none of whom escaped.

Luo Xiao stood in the flames, his hand still tightly clamping the neck of the city lord's daughter. The dragon's flames did not even singe his hair, but the seductive woman in his hand...

Her clothes were first turned to ashes, then her skin and flesh began to rot, and finally, her bones were exposed, turning a beautiful woman into a grotesque demon.

The smell of burning was strong, and the eaves of the residence collapsed, the red beams lying in all directions.

In a corner, the new city lord's armor had melted, his skin sticking to the scorching armor. He was in excruciating pain but dared not make a sound, hoping to escape this fate.

He was a valiant general on the battlefield, capable of fighting a hundred men. But in the face of the extraordinary flames of the dragon, his lifelong training and tough skin were no match, and he could only hide in the ruins and under the charred bodies of others without any dignity.

"Ha ha, ha ha..." Suddenly, a laugh echoed.

The laugh came from the seductive woman in front of the Dragon Tamer Luo Xiao.

Her face was burned and disfigured, her body charred beyond recognition.

She was on the brink of death, but she was laughing, a low, painful, and somewhat insane laugh.

"What are you laughing at!" the Dragon Tamer Luo Xiao stared at the suffering and insane seductive woman on the ground.

"I understand, cough, cough... I understand. Before you became a Dragon Tamer, you were nothing but mud in her eyes. She wouldn't even spare you a glance. You... you did everything you could to win her favor, but she treated you like a servant."

"Finally, you became a Dragon Tamer... cough, cough, you came riding a dragon, different from before, full of hope that she would look at you differently... ha ha ha ha, but she was destroyed by me. The woman you were infatuated with and admired was thrown into the dungeon and spent a whole night with a dirty beggar from the street!"

"The eyes you couldn't forget, the lips you were intoxicated by, the body you lusted for to the point of madness, ha ha ha, in the end, they all belonged to that lowly beggar. They woke up in the dungeon, and I was the first to visit them. The scene you didn't witness was truly a pity!"

"Pity... cough, cough, pity, I had prepared a dozen strong beggars for her, planning to send one to her every night, letting her enjoy the pleasures of life. Unfortunately, she escaped the next day..."

The seductive woman narrated this fact in her pain.

She laughed softly at times and screamed at others, mad like a real demon.

The seductive woman knew she was going to die, but she didn't consider herself a complete loser.

At least she had trampled the dignity and honor of the female warrior to the extreme. No matter how high and mighty she appeared, she was still lowly, and no matter how pure and clean she looked, she was still dirty. No matter who she became a woman to in the future, her man would always be haunted by this incident, despising and hating her!

Luo Xiao was the first to suffer this torment. Whether he was a Dragon Tamer or a greater, immortal Dragon Tamer in the future, as long as he still had feelings for the female warrior, this resentment would spread like a wildfire, driving him mad, making him blame her, and blame everything!

"Ha ha ha ha..." The seductive woman's laughter grew sharper and more insane.

The muscles on Luo Xiao's face twitched, gradually twisting, and the veins on his face even extended to his neck!

"Die!!" the Dragon Tamer Luo Xiao roared in anger.

He stomped heavily on the woman's disfigured face, crushing her in her grotesque laughter.

It seemed that seeing Luo Xiao's enraged face before her death was enough to satisfy the seductive woman.

"Die, die, die!!!"

Luo Xiao could not calm the anger in his chest. He repeatedly stomped on the seductive woman, even though she was already unrecognizable and dead!

He didn't want to hear another word from this insane woman, nor did he want to see her vicious and grotesque face!

After an unknown amount of time, the seductive woman had been stomped into a bloody pulp, but Luo Xiao still hadn't calmed down from his rage.

His chest heaved.

He glanced at the statue standing in the center of the city, still undestroyed...

The flames illuminated the streets, turning them into a desolate wasteland, but the pure white statue of the woman still radiated an unparalleled beauty.

"Even so, she is mine, Luo Xiao's!"

He would make her his first personal possession after his leap over the Dragon Gate!

Luo Xiao leaped up, stepping between the broad wings of the golden fire dragon.

The fire dragon flapped its wings, soaring into the clouds, and the ruins of Yongcheng grew smaller and smaller beneath Luo Xiao's feet...

Suddenly, the golden fire dragon took a deep breath in the sky, and a huge red vortex formed around it.

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

A dragon's flame spewed from the throat of the golden fire dragon, like an inverted volcanic crater, pouring scorching lava over the entire city of Yongcheng. The lava fell on the statue and quickly spread throughout the city...

The city was a sea of flowing red, and whether they were soldiers, commoners, or nobles, all were obliterated in the pouring dragon's flames!
