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

The buck-toothed officer from the long street fled in shock with the crowd, rushing out of the city. Outside the city, the vast open space was filled with countless figures seeking refuge in the mountains. However, not everyone was as fortunate as this group.
They had just escaped when a loud boom echoed from behind.
The city gates had collapsed!
Fierce flames devoured the city walls, and the densely packed crowd wailed amidst the crimson city, a scene akin to hell!
A dragon!
Is this a dragon?!
Just one fire dragon could bring such destruction to a bustling city!
Human strength and human wisdom seemed utterly meaningless in the face of such a divine creature!
...
At the residence of the city lord of Yongcheng.
The open gate revealed a scene of disaster, the red light reflecting on the face of the new city lord, who had just taken control of the city, only to see it turn into this state after a few words of disagreement.
"Do you find this scene satisfactory?" a pale-faced man inside the residence asked with a smile. His smile was devoid of warmth, instead giving a sense of horror.
"Respected Dragon Tamer, I have no deep grudge against you, so why..." the new city lord's voice trembled.
"Of course not, I just want you to understand that every word I say must be taken seriously. 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 bargain with me!" the pale-faced Dragon Tamer said.
"Mr. Luo Xiao, my daughter is in the prime of her youth, with outstanding beauty and wisdom. If the Respected Dragon Tamer likes her..." the city lord said.
Luo Xiao, the pale-faced Dragon Tamer, glanced at a woman of superior appearance beside him 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."
"Respected Dragon Tamer!! Respected Dragon 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 though she is a beauty of unparalleled charm, she has now become the lowest and dirtiest of women. Moreover, it has been proven that she has nothing but a few features that make her desirable," the white-haired city lord said.
Upon hearing this, the muscles on the Dragon Tamer's face twitched, and his eyes burned with intense anger, making the golden fire dragon outside even more fierce!
"What did you say?!" Luo Xiao's tone had completely changed, from disdain and arrogance to a clear sense of 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 favor him. He never imagined that the woman he had longed for would be defiled in Yongcheng by a dirty and lowly beggar!!
"Respected Dragon Tamer, you are the sun of the sky, and no one in this desolate land fails to look up to your glory. Why cling to a woman with a notorious and filthy reputation? My daughter is still pure and graceful, with some strategic skills in 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 said, her voice sharp and seductive, like a gentle and intelligent 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 upon seeing him. In contrast, this woman remained relatively calm in her words and actions.
Every time the new city lord spoke, he would look at the woman's expression. It was clear that the new city lord was merely a puppet, and this seductive and intelligent woman was the true ruler.
Seeing Luo Xiao examining her, the woman slowly raised 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 are no different from stinking mud. 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 gate, its throat glowing like a forge...
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The dragon's flames poured like a red river, melting the entire city residence. The relatives and servants inside were also reduced to blood, and even the servants, maids, and slaves were not spared.
Luo Xiao stood in the flames, his hand still tightly gripping the city lord's daughter. The dragon's flames did not harm his hair, but the seductive woman in his hand...
Her clothes were first reduced to ashes, then her skin and flesh burned away, and finally, her bones were exposed, turning a beautiful woman into a grotesque demon.
The smell of burning was intense, and the eaves of the residence collapsed, with red beams scattered everywhere.
In a corner, the new city lord's armor had melted, his skin sticking to the hot armor. He was in excruciating pain but dared not make a sound, hoping to escape this disaster.
He was a valiant general on the battlefield, capable of fighting a hundred enemies. But facing the extraordinary flames of the dragon, his lifelong training in resilience was no match, and he could only hide without dignity in the ruins and the charred bodies of others.
"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 already burned and disfigured, and her body was 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 seductive woman on the ground, who was in pain and delirious.
"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 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 adored day and night was thrown into the dungeon and spent a whole night with a dirty beggar from the street!"
"The eyes you can't forget, the lips you are infatuated with, the body you crave to the point of madness, ha ha ha, in the end, they were all enjoyed by that lowly beggar. They were together in the dungeon, and I was the first to visit them when they woke up. It's a pity you didn't see it with your own eyes!"
"Pity... cough, cough, pity, I had prepared a dozen strong beggars for her, planning to send one to her every night so she could enjoy the pleasures of life. Unfortunately, she escaped the next day..."
The seductive woman narrated this fact in her pain.
She laughed lowly at times and screamed at others, like a real demon.
The seductive woman knew she was going to die, but she didn't lose completely.
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 in the future, her man would always be haunted by this, despising and hating her!
Luo Xiao, the first to bear this torment, whether he was a Dragon Tamer or a future greater and more immortal Dragon Tamer, as long as he still thought of the female warrior, this thorn in his heart would spread like a wildfire, driving him mad, making him angry at her, and angry at everything!
"Ha ha ha ha..." The seductive woman's laughter became 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!!" Luo Xiao roared in rage.
He stomped heavily on the woman's disfigured face, and the seductive woman's grotesque laughter was crushed into a mess.
It seemed that seeing Luo Xiao in such a state of rage before her death was enough to satisfy the seductive woman.
"Die, die, die!!!"
Luo Xiao could not calm the rage in his chest. He repeatedly stomped on the seductive woman, even though she was already unrecognizable and dead!
He did not want to hear another word from this insane woman, nor did he want to see her evil, grotesque face!
After an unknown amount of time, the seductive woman had been stomped into a bloody pulp, but Luo Xiao still seemed to be in a state of madness.
His chest heaved.
He glanced at the statue standing in the center of the city, which had not yet been destroyed...
The flames illuminated the streets, turning them into a desolate wasteland, but the pure white statue of the woman still exuded an unparalleled beauty.
"Even so, she is mine, Luo Xiao's!"
He would make her his first personal toy 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 became smaller and smaller under Luo Xiao's feet...
Suddenly, the golden fire dragon took a deep breath in the high sky, and a huge red vortex formed around it.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"
A stream of dragon flames spewed from the throat of the golden fire dragon, like an inverted volcano, 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, poor people, or nobles, all were reduced to nothing in the pouring dragon flames!!
