"Actually, I forgot to tell you, I’m a very, very bad person, skilled in drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything else, including trafficking and selling people, especially little girls like you."
Olive chuckled. "Who admits they’re a bad person? Usually, those who say they are bad people are actually good people."
"Actually, I deceived you just now. I am a good person."
"Yeah, I believe you."
Damn, this little girl isn’t that easy to fool.
I say I’m a bad person, you don’t believe me. I say I’m a good person, you believe me. Are kids these days all so rational?
Jiang Chen seriously doubted that the little girl in front of him was only three years old.
How could this be the intelligence of a three-year-old?
This is basically an adult’s intelligence.
Aside from a touch of adolescent delusions of grandeur, she seems pretty much like an adult.
"You’re away from your mother now, and she must be missing you. If she can’t find you, she’ll definitely hide somewhere and cry. What will you do then?"
"You don’t have to worry about that. She can always find me."
Jiang Chen was startled.
"How can she find you?"
"With Magic, of course. We have a blood connection, so no matter where I go, she can find me. If Mother misses me, she will come to see me, so you don’t need to worry."
I’m freaking out here, and I shouldn’t worry?
I’ve entered a covenant with you. Do you know what that implies? It’s as if I’ve kidnapped her daughter.
What mother would allow that?
What mother wouldn’t be angry?
Unless she’s crazy.
Kill this girl?
Forget it, she’s quite cute. What if her mother comes seeking revenge?
She’s not an enemy; I can’t bring myself to harm her!
Can’t shake her off, can’t kill her. Now, running away isn’t an option either, as this girl can enter the Convenant Space anytime.
Wait a minute?
If her mother can always find her, maybe I could actually benefit from this...
Yeah.
She’s going to be my future mother-in-law!
This seems to be getting closer to the criminal path.
Olive asked curiously, "What are you thinking about!"
"I was thinking whether your mother would kill me when she sees me, given that you’ve entered a covenant with me. Your mother definitely wouldn’t agree to it."
"Of course, she wouldn’t. Since I’m in a covenant with you, you’re my partner. Naturally, my mother won’t kill you. You know, our Dragon Race values friendship above all."
"But what if she does?"
"I will protect you. Trust me. If she dares to make a move, I’ll stand in front of you. She would have to step over my body to hurt you."
Jiang Chen was moved. This girl, though sometimes prone to grandiose pronouncements, was pretty loyal!
Jiang Chen felt much more at ease.
"Of course, if she does try something, it’s very likely she could step over me, since I’m quite short."
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
「At this moment.」
On the battlefield, the Xileruo World, with a group of powerhouses, repelled the attack of the Evil God. These Evil Gods retreated back into the Spatial Rift one by one.
The Clan Leader of the Giant Dragon World, Tina, took a deep breath. "Thank you all for your support. We have finally repelled the Evil God’s assault."
"Clan Leader, there’s no need for so many words. The Alliance of All-Gods has formed a covenant with the Giant Dragon World. We are partners."
"Clan Leader, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back now."
Tina nodded, and a group rode on Giant Dragons back to the Xileruo World.
Tina looked out over the devastated battlefield.
A sense of powerlessness grew in her heart, and she didn’t know where Olive was. With a casual spell, she found that Olive was actually thousands of miles away.
How did that bratty girl get so far away?
Tina said, "You guys clean up the aftermath first. It’s very possible that some followers of the Evil God are left here. I’m going to look for that bratty girl."
"Okay, Clan Leader."
Tina’s figure vanished, and she appeared a kilometer away with a Teleport. Just then, Jiang Chen sensed the Magic Fluctuation.
His heart skipped a beat.
Holy crap, she’s here already?
A rift appeared up ahead, and a beautiful woman emerged from within. She was tall in stature, her long Robe a fiery red, with flowing golden hair and a proud carriage that was a sight to behold.
Jiang Chen swallowed hard.
Could this be my future mother-in-law?
My goodness.
Tina glanced at Olive, then turned to Jiang Chen with a killing intent so intense it was palpable. She discovered Olive had signed a covenant with someone.
Had this handsome man before her spirited away her daughter?
Olive said with a smile, "This is my mother."
Tina, still oozing killing intent, looked at Olive and asked, "Who is he?"
"I don’t know."
Tina’s killing intent surged. You don’t know?
You signed a covenant with someone, and you don’t even know his name?
Unbelievable.
How dare this Human Race act so boldly? Coming to the Giant Dragon World to steal Dragon Eggs is one thing, but to dare spirit away my daughter, who gave you such audacity?
Olive explained, "I was being pursued by the minions of the Evil God, and he saved me. He’s very strong."
Tina’s murderous aura finally began to subside a little.
Olive looked at Jiang Chen. "By the way, you haven’t told me your name yet?"
Jiang Chen offered an awkward smile. "Hello, my name is Jiang Chen."
Tina sneered, "Jiang Chen?"
"Yes, my future Mo— Honored Dragon."
Nice one, I almost let slip what I was really thinking.
Fortunately, Tina didn’t seem to catch it clearly.
Tina looked at Olive. "Why did you sign a covenant with someone? Did he force you?"
Jiang Chen was startled.
Here it comes!
Olive shook her head. "It wasn’t him; I signed the covenant with him. He came here looking to make a covenant with the Giant Dragon Race, and since I didn’t have one, I used Covenant Magic and signed a covenant with him. Besides, he saved my life."
"I plan to have him follow me in conquering the world."
Tina was speechless for a moment. How could this foolish girl sign a covenant with just anyone, actually going so far as to offer herself up? Doesn’t she understand the implications of signing a covenant?
Tina stared at Jiang Chen intently. "Hero, show me your Badge."
Jiang Chen had no choice but to reveal his Badge.
[Name: Jiang Chen]
[Legion: Dark Legion]
[Occupation: Swordsman]
[Level: 50]
That’s it?
Tina was furious. What in the world is a Swordsman?
It seemed like she had never heard of it before.
Seemingly, any random person would be stronger than the Swordsman before her.
Tina said, "Jiang Chen, I’ll give you a choice: dissolve the covenant with my daughter. She’s too young to be of any help to you now. I’ll give you a Dragon Egg to become your Covenant Beast."
Jiang Chen was about to say that it sounded like a great idea.
He didn’t want this little troublemaker hanging around with him anyway.
Olive shook her head. "How can that be? He’s the person I chose. How can we just dismiss a covenant like that? He is very strong. In the future, he will be my most loyal companion and will conquer the world with me."
"With my presence, he can become a Demigod."
"That is my promise to him, and my way of repaying him."
There were only two ways to dissolve a covenant: either one party dies, thus terminating the covenant, or both parties agree to dissolve it.
Now, since Olive didn’t agree, there was only the other option.
Jiang Chen felt a little nervous—after all, Olive was Tina’s daughter, and in a sense, he really had spirited away someone’s daughter.
Never underestimate a mother’s fury.
Tina sighed. "Then there’s only one other way."
Jiang Chen braced himself, alert.
The other way—he knew what that meant. Jiang Chen slowly drew his Longsword.
