In the castle hall, the woman held Su Qing, who had shrunk to the size of a cat, and stroked her soft, white hands vigorously, ignoring the hardness of the scales.

Su Qing was worried that such strong force might peel off the scales on his body.

"My lord, the leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group has sent someone again!"

Below, a bald old man wearing a monocle spoke humbly, though his tone was somewhat helpless.

Su Qing could clearly feel that the force used to rub her palm had increased.

Then came the woman's domineering voice: "Smash it back! Don't you even look in the mirror? See what kind of person you are? You think you're worthy of proposing to me?"

The day after Su Qing was captured, he had already witnessed this woman's domineering nature for the first time.

Moreover, after making inquiries, I also learned some things about this lord.

First, this is a woman; second, this is a young woman; and third, this is a young woman under thirty.

This woman is said to come from the heart of the continent, the most prosperous region.

She is a princess of a kingdom destroyed by war, who arrives in the Chaotic Territory under the protection of several loyal confidants.

It is said that the princess was only eight years old at the time, and now, in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and the little princess has grown into a qualified and powerful lord.

These are all inspirational stories about a little princess that I heard from some people.

But there is another side to it. Although the Lily Territory is now a powerful force in the Chaotic Territory, the difficulties it faces are unparalleled by other forces.

First, there's the identity of this lord: a princess from a destroyed kingdom who established a territory named after that kingdom.

The implications are self-evident.

This lord had plans to restore his kingdom, so his first opponents were the very countries that had destroyed it.

Therefore, when the mainland center launches its annual campaign against the Chaotic Territory, the Lily Territory is always a key target.

Each time they suffered heavy losses, but this also made the soldiers of Lily Territory notorious for their ferocity throughout the Chaotic Territory.

There are also many other forces of similar size that are eyeing Lily Territory covetously.

It can be said that this is a powerful but highly unstable force.

After listening to his lord's domineering words, the bald old man smiled helplessly: "My lord, in a while, the central part of the continent will probably launch another campaign to wipe out the Chaotic Territory. I heard that this time the force is even more terrifying than before. We'd better find some helpers."

"The Purple Fire Mercenary Group is a very suitable choice!"

"But their demands are excessive!"

The woman answered coldly, but Su Qing felt that the other woman's hand was stroking her harder and harder.

The bald old man nodded, clearly agreeing with this view: "Then there are probably two forces we can join forces with: the Stan family and the White Bull Society!"

Both of these forces are high-level forces, possessing powerful and brilliant experts.

"We can send someone to ask if we want to join forces this time!"

The female lord spoke.

The bald old man nodded, indicating that he would send a messenger to handle the matter.

After finishing their business, they started talking about personal matters. This time, the bald old man was not as serious as before, and his expression was much gentler.

Twenty years ago, he was one of the three who protected the female lord when she came to the Chaotic Territory. His status and strength in the territory were second only to the lord.

"My lord, you should also take your marriage seriously. The bloodline of our Lily Kingdom cannot be broken. You are the only one with that bloodline. If we want to reclaim the kingdom's foundation, our generation may not be able to do it. It will require generations of development..."

The bald old man's earnest advice was essentially urging the female lord to get married and have children to continue her bloodline.

These words made the female city lord stroke Su Qing faster, and she pouted: "No rush, and besides, what kind of good-for-nothings did you introduce to me last time, Third Grandfather? Not a single one of them has any real ability. The bloodline of those incompetent people will only tarnish the precious bloodline of the Lily Kingdom."

"Besides, I shouldn't be in a hurry to find a partner. I've already reached the pinnacle of glory, and I'm only half a step away from being crowned a titled master. Once I'm crowned a titled master, I'll have a lifespan of a thousand years. Why should I be in a hurry!"

The female lord's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving the third steward at a loss for words, so he shifted the topic to Su Qing.

I had noticed this dragon before, but there hadn't been a good time for it to speak.

He remembered that the lord used to tame a silver dragon all the time, so how did it turn into a black dragon?

Where did this black dragon come from?

"My lord, what is this?"

The bald old man looked at Su Qing curiously and asked the female lord.

Ariel understood what he meant and didn't hide anything: "Xiaoxue brought her back. She seems a bit silly, so we can keep her as a pet!"

These words stung Su Qing. What did she mean by "foolish"? Couldn't she have been more careful with her words?

If it weren't for that silver dragon's seductive trap, would I have fallen for it? Would I have gotten hooked?

Su Qing felt frustrated and realized that she had indeed been blinded by lust and made an irrational decision.

But now his major problem is how to escape. He's been held in this woman's arms and stroked all day long, and he only has a chance to run away at night. But outside there's a heavily guarded army, both in the sky and on the ground, plus a magic circle.

He could run, but not very far, before the woman, who was awakened, would catch him and bring him back.

Su Qing suddenly realized with sorrow that, for the time being, she seemed unable to escape this woman's grasp.
