Chapter 433: Two Choices
Could it be that the Yalrin Family has been abandoned by the Coreydia Kingdom?
Hmm, it's a possibility.
As the vice president, Pullman understood the Yalrin Family better than anyone.
The Yalrin Family held immense power within the Coreydia Kingdom.
Although their territory lay on the kingdom's frontier,
it was vast.
They were the largest landholders in the Coreydia Kingdom.
Due to facing the beastmen from the south,
the military strength within their territory was exceptionally strong.
They were also the most powerful military force among all the lords in the Coreydia Kingdom.
Such a lord would be considered a threat by kings in any era.
Pullman suspected that the royal family of the Coreydia Kingdom might want to use this opportunity to weaken the Yalrin Family.
"Vice President, we've arrived!"
The fleet was nearing its destination.
Ahead was the battlefield.
Several dozen kilometers away across the barren land stood a black city.
The tall city walls were built from black stones.
At that moment, a pillar of blue light shot up from the city.
It quickly formed a magical barrier that enveloped the city.
"Look, what's that?"
Just as the battle was about to commence,
exclamations rang out from the decks of the ships.
Gigantic beings appeared in the southern skies.
Their light blue bodies twisted through the air like serpents.
"Are those serpent-type magical beasts?"
"Impossible, there shouldn't be magical beasts in the Fallen World."
"They're huge! They must be at least a kilometer long!"
"Prepare for battle, activate the magic barriers!"
The serpentine magical beasts moved at incredible speeds.
At first, they were just small blue dots.
But in the blink of an eye, their massive forms became clear.
The fleet quickly shimmered with magical lights.
Floating ships large and small activated their magic barriers.
Colorful magic shields enveloped the fleet.
"Vice President, could this be the Yalrin Family's doing?"
In the Fallen World, there were only two forces.
There were only two teleportation arrays leading to this world.
"Hold fire, relay the order—do not attack!"
If the enemy had ill intentions, they could have attacked from this distance already.
Pullman sensed intense magical energy from the serpentine beasts.
They were like moving sources of magic.
Though he didn't know the details,
it was clear that these beasts had nothing to do with the Yalrin Family.
"What? Don't attack?"
"Wha-what kind of joke is this!"
"Th-they're coming!"
In just a few breaths, the serpent-like beasts reached the fleet.
These serpent beasts were the Huaxia Dragons summoned by Li Meng.
Ten Huaxia Dragons flew among the fleet.
Up close, the humans on the decks finally felt the overwhelming size of the Huaxia Dragons.
Compared to them, the hundreds-of-meters-long floating ships looked like tiny specks.
The Huaxia Dragons didn't attack the fleet.
They simply weaved and spiraled around the ships.
"So cautious!"
Li Meng sat cross-legged on the head of one of the Huaxia Dragons.
Since the fleet wasn't attacking, he couldn't be bothered to pick a fight.
His gaze swept over the figures on the floating ship decks.
"So these are the Law Rings?"
Above many people's heads, magical fluctuations could be seen.
Elemental spirits seemed to be bound there.
The bound spirits absorbed more and more magical power.
The power of the Law Rings grew every moment.
It was indeed a unique way of cultivating.
Li Meng turned to the largest floating ship.
It was more like a floating island than a ship.
A giant dragon was pulling the flagship from the front.
Its body was massive.
Easily a hundred meters in size.
Its physique alone revealed it was a pure-blooded dragon.
"Could that unlucky thing be her?"
Upon seeing the dragon, Li Meng muttered.
If it was her, he was damn lucky.
He had found the mother dragon so quickly.
With a thought, the Huaxia Dragon he was riding flew toward the flagship.
"Look, there's a person on the head of that beast!"
"He's so young, just a boy!"
"These beasts don't look like magical beasts."
"They seem more like elemental spirits."
"Could it be summoning magic?"
"Impossible! Not even a Water God-level Archmage could summon creatures this huge."
Li Meng made no attempt to hide himself.
As a result, many people saw him.
The enormous Huaxia Dragon slithered its giant body before the giant dragon.
The golden eyes of the giant dragon glared at the creature and the human.
Filled with hatred and rage.
Li Meng sized up the dragon.
Clearly, she had suffered.
Her golden scales were damaged and bleeding in many spots.
Thorned golden chains were deeply embedded into her flesh.
"You must be the mother dragon from the Dragon Kingdom?"
Li Meng's cold voice echoed through the skies.
The golden eyes of the dragon constricted.
She opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
"Even your ability to speak has been sealed? Looks like it is you!"
Li Meng stood up.
He slashed a hand knife through the air.
A burst of monstrous strength surged out.
A shockwave exploded outward.
"Crack!"
The golden chains binding the dragon shattered.
The cuts were smooth, as if sliced by a razor-sharp blade.
"Roar!"
Freed at last, the dragon roared at the heavens.
Water-blue magical light burst from her body.
Judging by the magic color,
she was a water-type dragon.
When the magical light faded,
the giant dragon was gone.
In her place stood a pure white, slender body.
She had a pair of blue horns on her head,
and a pair of water-blue wings on her back.
She flapped her wings and landed beside Li Meng.
Li Meng waved his hand, and the cloth wrapped around his arm unfurled around her.
It became a flowing, water-blue long dress.
"Spirit Gear?"
A flash of surprise crossed the mother dragon's eyes.
"Consider it a welcome gift!"
Welcome gift?
Haiti's gaze locked onto the boy.
She was sure she had never seen him before.
Was he human?
No, probably not.
No human could possess such overwhelming power.
Even though she couldn't sense any magic from him,
the summoning beasts under him were terrifyingly real.
"Who are you?"
"Your future master."
Master?
Haiti's face darkened.
Out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair.
She glared with hatred at the huge floating ship.
"Kill them, and I'll accept you as my master!"
Li Meng smiled faintly, but did not immediately agree.
Instead, he reached out and embraced Haiti's soft, delicate body.
He pulled her curvy figure into his arms.
"Two choices. I kill them, and I become your master—that's a deal."
"Or come with me, become my woman, and I will become your man."
The first was a simple transaction; they'd be master and servant.
Even if they slept together,
their master-servant relationship would remain unchanged.
The second, however, would make them equals.
