"certainly……"

Zhu Lei's lips curved into a smile as she slowly approached the cage, her black hair cascading down her back. Her red lips parted slightly, "If you can give me this dragon blood, you will gain my most sincere friendship! I will no longer need to compete with Seventh Sister for anything... The conflict in the North Sea will end here!"

Should we not fight?

Shen Yunhao glanced at the little white snakes that had turned into ornaments on either side, and he did not agree with it.

If this guy finds out that Zhuli has already obtained a higher-level Ancestral Dragon Sacred Soul, he'll probably fight even more fiercely in the future...

It seems we need to find a way to keep the matter of the Holy Soul a secret.

However, Candlelight's conditions didn't stop there. She lightly stroked the cage with her fingertips, her deep voice taking on a strange magnetism: "Besides that, I can personally grant you one more condition… any condition! As long as I can do it…"

Shen Yunhao was stunned when he heard this. He stared at her and saw a hint of morbid madness in her eyes.

The woman bit her lip, her eyes filled with a melancholy.

"In Beihai, besides Seventh Sister, I believe my looks are second to none! I suppose you're quite interested in the Twin Dragons... too!"

"!!!"

This sounds vain, but it has to be said that Candlelight certainly has the right to say it.

If she wanted to, she would definitely have a place on the list of most beautiful women.

only……

Shen Yunhao remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

He stood up, walked to Zhu Lei, and their eyes met through the iron bars.

“I don’t deny that the conditions offered by the Fifth Princess were indeed very tempting, and the Fifth Princess’s beauty is truly unparalleled. It’s just a pity…” he said in a low voice, “The Fifth Princess may not know me very well. I’m a rather loyal person! For me, having Sister Li’er is enough for a woman…”

Zhu Lei paused, then frowned and asked, "What are you lacking?"

Shen Yunhao's lips curled up slightly: "What I need is... an obedient 'dog'."

"You—how dare you!"

No one could stand hearing such words, and Zhu Lei was no exception. Her aura exploded instantly, and as her dragon might spread, the entire cage trembled!

However, the next second, the purple vines wrapped around Shen Yunhao's left hand suddenly grew larger and instantly pierced through the cage, wrapping around Zhu Lei's body!

"What!"

Candlelight's pupils constricted sharply. She struggled violently for a moment, but found that the vine was extremely tough and she could not break free at all!

Even the barbs between the vines easily pierced her dragon scales and embedded themselves in her skin, sending a tingling sensation through her entire body.

"How dare you! I am the Fifth Princess of the North Sea! How dare you treat me like this!"

Shen Yunhao chuckled softly, his fingertips lightly stroking the vines, his tone icy: "Fifth Princess, Fifth Princess, last time you trapped me in the dragon's belly, wasn't your aim to kill me and take the treasure? Now you're trying to trick me out of the Ancestral Dragon's blood by offering me empty promises... Do you think I'm just a complete fool?"

"you!"

Zhu Lei gritted her teeth fiercely, "You're just a human, you only have a place in the North Sea because of Seventh Sister's connection. What difference would it make if I killed you?"

"Is that so..." Shen Yunhao was not angry. He simply took two steps back and took out the golden blood droplet again.

"It's just a pity that I, a human, happened to obtain the blood of the Ancestral Dragon. Can you believe it?"

Zhu Lei's breathing quickened noticeably for a moment.

Her gaze was once again drawn to the dragon blood, and the longing in her eyes almost materialized, radiating a strange red light.

"Give me...give me the blood! It's mine!"

Looking at her somewhat frantic state, Shen Yunhao felt a pang of pity...

Perhaps he really isn't suited for this kind of thing...

"Yours?" Shen Yunhao sneered. "Ridiculous! You have a lot of ambition, yet you turn your blade against your own family. You... do you even deserve it?"

As if stung by those words, Zhu Lei began to struggle frantically, and a faint blue dragon shadow appeared around her.

However, her cultivation level was far inferior to Mo Yan's, and even the sleeping wisteria was something she could not break free from!

"I'm not worthy? Then who is! That stupid snake, Seventh Sister?"

Zhu Lei glared fiercely at Shen Yunhao, "Why! Why is it that she was able to gain Han Haixin's favor from birth, while we can't even touch a corner of that divine artifact no matter how hard we try! Why is it that she's lazy and good-for-nothing, sleeping all day, yet her cultivation can break through at will, while I can only barely keep up with her no matter how hard I cultivate? Why is she the most beautiful woman in the North Sea, loved by everyone, while I work so hard, yet I can only marry a good-for-nothing!"

"I refuse to accept this! I just refuse to accept it!"

"Katz..."

Wisteria seemed to sense the riotous movement of the candle bud, and suddenly tightened, instantly suppressing her momentum completely.

Shen Yunhao listened to the familiar language, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"What in this world is truly fair?"

Candlelight was taken aback.

“You were born as the fifth princess of the Dragon Clan. Your father is one of the most powerful people in the world, and your mother’s clan is the renowned Siren Clan. It can be said that from the moment you were born, you have already surpassed 99% of the people in this world! I ask you... is this fair?”

"..."

"You can't win Han Haixin's favor, but you have countless magical treasures by your side. Have you thought about those who don't have families? You say you can't catch up with Li'er, but you have such cultivation at such a young age. Have you thought about those... those whose physiques are ruined? You say you married someone you don't like. Then let me ask you, with your status, does anyone really dare to force you to marry him? Isn't it because of your so-called ambition?"

"..."

Candlelight fell completely silent...

"You have your ambitions, I won't judge, but I have no grudge against you, yet you come up here and try to kill me... If it weren't for Zi'er helping me, I would have died in your womb long ago. Have I ever asked you for fairness?"

Shen Yunhao's tone gradually turned cold.

"Do you know why I'm rambling on and on with you like this? It's because my Li'er... she has no ambition! This Ancestral Dragon Blood is not important to her! So I can give this dragon blood to anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lei suddenly raised her head again.

Shen Yunhao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her chin.

"I can let you win! I can let someone else win. I can even tell you very clearly that within a hundred years, only this one drop of dragon blood will be born. Five years later, in the Ancestral Dragon Land, you will get nothing!"

The last sentence was obviously made up by Shen Yunhao, but he knew that Zhu Lei wouldn't dare to gamble on it!

"Whoever obtains this drop of dragon blood will, within a hundred years, become the most dazzling figure in the dragon race! They will be able to... completely surpass all other dragons and be on par with the Dragon King!"

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Zhu Lei's breathing became increasingly rapid, and the blue dragon horns on her forehead, which resembled glass, glowed with an abnormal red light, revealing her extremely turbulent emotions.

"What...what do you want?!"

"Haven't I made myself clear enough?"

Shen Yunhao lowered his head and gently sniffed the dragon horn that emitted a strange fragrance, his tone like a devil's whisper.

"All I want is... a dog..."
