The white light gradually faded, and Su Qing opened her eyes. She looked at her arms and body, still covered in black scale armor. After a careful examination, she realized that nothing seemed to have changed.
He spat the mirror out of his mouth, looked at his face carefully again, and realized he was still as handsome as ever!
Is this skill useless to me?
Su Qing was puzzled when he saw Chris strangely point to his buttocks.
Su Qing stretched out its paw and touched it; it was bald, and its tail was gone!
This is the only change on my body, but it doesn't seem to have any effect!
Su Qing thought about it and realized that it wasn't entirely useless. He estimated that if he admitted to being a purebred black dragon now, no one would believe him.
Chris looked at the black dragon that had suddenly lost its tail. While he wasn't completely unmoved, he didn't experience any significant emotional fluctuations either.
Last time it had an extra eye, this time it's missing a tail; strange things always seem to happen to this black dragon.
"Let's go!"
This time, Su Qing didn't wear a black robe; instead, she swaggered into the city with Chris.
They went straight to the city lord's mansion, where the same guards were still there. When they saw Su Qing walking towards them in such a swaggering manner, they were quite frightened.
However, these guards seemed to be quite disciplined; instead of fleeing immediately, they sternly questioned, "What kind of monster are you, and what are you doing here?"
Su Qing glanced at him sideways, but before she could speak, Chris stepped forward.
He figured the guards should recognize him and let the two of them in without any problem.
"It's me!"
After saying that, Chris was about to go in when he was immediately stopped by the guard, who looked at him with a strange and suspicious gaze: "Who are you?"
Without the skill enhancement, Chris returned to his original appearance. Although it was only a minor adjustment to his facial features and temperament, any small change on his face could present a completely different face.
Therefore, the guards did not recognize that the person in front of them was their young city lord, but felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Su Qing pulled Chris back from his reverie and said calmly, "I come from Lily Territory. I am here on the orders of the Lord to ask your city lord why he betrayed you, since the Lily Leader is not a bad person?"
His identity and mindset changed rapidly; he was once the young city lord's loyal steward, but in the blink of an eye, he became an envoy who came to demand an explanation.
The guards exchanged glances, and one of them rushed in.
At this moment, the Rock City Lord's face was quite ugly. He originally thought he had found the love of his life, but he did not expect her to be a petty and narrow-minded woman. What was even more hateful was that she actually used the power of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group to suppress him.
If a woman uses her family to pressure her husband, it means she either truly looks down on him or doesn't consider him family.
This behavior chilled him to the bone.
Just as he was gritting his teeth in hatred, he suddenly heard a guard report that a messenger from the Lily Territory had come to see him.
This made the Rock City Lord fall into deep thought. He was prepared for the fact that Lily Spirit had sent someone to find him, as she was definitely there to interrogate him.
But now, the timing is terrible.
Just as he was falling out with the Purple Fire Mercenary Group, the Lily Territory sent people to question him, offending two powerful forces at once. It seemed his time as city lord was truly over.
Is there any way to break this deadlock?
The tall man racked his brains, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
Or rather, there is a way to break the deadlock. The simplest way is to find the beautiful lady, apologize, and use the power of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group to resist the Lily Territory.
But he was unwilling, because if he did, he would completely lose his dignity as a man and would never be able to hold his head up in front of that woman again.
This is something he absolutely does not want to see.
He would rather apologize to Lily than to that woman...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the Rock City Lord's face lit up with joy before he burst into unrestrained laughter.
Su Qing and Chris were brought to see the city lord.
Upon entering the hall, the Lord of Rock City warmly greeted them: "You two must be envoys from Lily Territory?"
Su Qing nodded coolly, while Chris, looking at his father, or rather his ex-father, who had suddenly become quite polite, felt a little uncomfortable, nodded awkwardly, and stood behind Su Qing.
With just a small gesture, the Rock City Lord realized that the one in charge should be this aloof dragonman.
Although it resembles a purebred black dragon, the fact that it has no tail indicates that its bloodline is not pure; it should be a human-dragon hybrid.
The Chaotic Territory is home to all sorts of races, and this half-human, half-dragon monster isn't exactly rare.
So he didn't really care.
"Please have a seat, both of you!"
The Lord of Rock City warmly invited the two to sit down. Chris hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Qing, who had already plopped down without any politeness, her eyes flashing with coldness: "Lord of Rock City, shouldn't you give us an explanation? The Lord has treated you well, entrusting you with the management of this wealthy place, Rock City. Is this how you repay the Lord?"
His tone gradually turned cold, and his words were full of accusations.
"I have wronged you, my lord!"
The Rock City Lord's straightforward admission of wrongdoing caught Su Qing off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless. Then, the Rock City Lord said angrily, "It was all those bastards from the Purple Fire Mercenary Group who bewitched me with their sweet words and even tried to seduce me with their beauty..."
As she spoke, her voice became guilty: "It's also my fault. I couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed the lord. I'm sorry, lord."
His tone was extremely sincere. If Su Qing hadn't known that this guy had fallen out with the Purple Fire Mercenary Group and wanted to return to their side, he might have been deceived by his words and thought he was a model of a prodigal son returning home.
"However, I have now seen through the true colors of those bastards in the Purple Fire Mercenary Group and have broken with them."
"There are mercenaries from a mercenary group in the city, and I intend to use their blood and lives to prove my resolve!"
The Rock City Lord's words gradually became more serious, his change of expression so rapid it was like turning the pages of a book.
He looked at Su Qing and the other person seriously: "However, one of these mercenaries is at the sixth level of the Glorious Realm. I am not sure if I am his match. Please go back and report to the lord, and ask him to send some experts over as soon as possible."
Su Qing's expression gradually turned strange. This guy has potential; he can say such shameless things with such righteous indignation.
He's clearly a traitor, but he pretends to be a loyal subject.
However, Su Qing quickly regained his composure and replied with the same righteous indignation: "Why should the Lord send experts to a mere sixth level of Brilliance? If the two of us join forces, we will surely defeat them!"
The envoy patted his chest confidently, surprising the Rock City Lord, who asked with delight, "May I ask what realm the envoy is?"
Su Qing's lips curled up: "The second floor of Brilliance!"
Rock City Lord: "..."
