Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

When they arrived at Miao Miao House, the Young Dragon was still not awake, occasionally giggling in her sleep.

Who knew what she was dreaming about.

The Young Dragon dreamed she was lying on a soft cloud sleeping, as the cloud drifted along... and lying on the cloud, she too floated on and on...

Back at the store, Lance saw that the Young Dragon showed no signs of waking up, so he sent her back to Black Dragon Island through the portal, letting her sleep in the Dragon Nest.

He, along with Er Gouzi, returned to Miao Miao House.

Not wanting to disrupt his own sleep, he had Er Gouzi mind the store while he lay in the rocking chair, covered with a blanket, pretending to doze off.

If he fell asleep, then so be it; if not... he'd see if any demons would visit the little store at night.

At around four in the morning, Lance, lying on the rocking chair, opened his eyes. He glanced at Er Gouzi, who was sound asleep beside the rocking chair.

They really had taken a liking to his newly opened store.

Something boldly entered the store through the front door.

With his eyes still open, that thing slipped brazenly into the store through the crack in the door.

Shadow Fiend.

They could devour shadows or hide within the shadows of other creatures, parasitizing them in this manner; over time, the Shadow Fiend would slowly transform into the appearance of the parasitized creature.

This was when... the Exorcist had to enter the stage.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Shadow Fiends wouldn't replace their host because once they do, they would lose the abilities of a Shadow Fiend.

And they would be easily killed.

Only those utterly insane Shadow Fiends or those crazed by love would go to any lengths to replace their hosts, losing their Shadow Fiend identity to live under another guise.

Shadow Fiends also had another skill: shadow stealth.

The Shadow Fiends adept at stealth within shadows were born imposters, hunters, assassins...

They were beings that could rival the Night Elves.

Tsk.

No wonder Sharulu had been tracking for so long and still couldn't bring to justice the demon that was stealing in Alchemical City.

To catch a Shadow Fiend without special essence-infused artifacts or a Sealing Array is not only difficult to accomplish, it's even hard to spot one.

The summoner who had made a pact with Shadow Fiend was truly brave. Wasn't he afraid that one day the Shadow Fiend would take his place? Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

Turn him into a shadow?

The Shadow Fiend that had infiltrated the store was hiding within the wall's shadows in the hall, watching the human yawning in the rocking chair, and it bared its teeth.

To protect the goods in his own store... what a hard life indeed.

Just wait until he watches his store's merchandise get plundered clean; the expression on his face should be quite a spectacle, shouldn't it?

That seems a bit boring, though...

The Shadow Fiend's gaze fell upon Er Gouzi's shadow. Hey... it thought of something fun.

Using shadow stealth, the Shadow Fiend instantly slipped into Er Gouzi's shadow.

Lance, lying in the rocking chair, saw this scene and knew without thinking what the Shadow Fiend intended to do.

To scare him.

After all, it was a demon from The Abyss. Confronted with a lone human, it wouldn't be a demon if it didn't play tricks, would it?

"It's almost dawn... It seems there won't be any thieves visiting, time to stretch a little and go home to sleep."

Muttering to himself, Lance stood up, stepped over Er Gouzi's body, and his big foot landed right on the widely grinning mouth of the Shadow Fiend, twisting it a few times without giving away anything.

The Shadow Fiend immediately felt its face deformed by the despicable human's big foot, the key point being... it actually felt pain!!!

Lance had some understanding of Shadow Fiends; they felt pain but wouldn't get hurt...

Their shadowy demonic bodies could deform, much like rubber people.

"Damn human, you've stepped on the great Shadow Fiend lord!!!"

Accompanied by these eerie and terrifying words, two pitch-black hands reached out from Er Gouzi's shadow and grabbed Lance's ankles.

Feeling the touch on his feet, fear flashed in Lance's eyes, "There's a ghost!!!"

Lance jumped in place, leaped high into the air, and fell back down heavily. Every time he landed, his feet caused a certain amount of damage to the Shadow Fiend.

The Shadow Fiend lurking in the shadows could no longer discern the shape of its face because it had been stepped on by the timid human more times than it knew.

Not only the face, but its legs, arms, and body were severely trampled on. On a few occasions, it even felt like it was not just one person stepping on it but a Giant Dragon instead.

Poisonous!

This human is poisonous!

Theoretically, as a Shadow Fiend that hides in the shadows, even the strong ones from the Human World shouldn't be able to severely injure it, for they can't hit a fiend lurking in the shadows.

But this human, every time he jumped and landed, it caused him unbearable pain. His feet clearly stepped on Er Gouzi's shadow, so why could it still hurt him?

"I, I, I... I'm not a ghost, stop jumping, stop, I'm just your dog's shadow... Stop jumping... I, I'm about to be squashed to death by you...."

"If you're so dark you don't even look human, how can you say you're not a ghost?!"

"I'm a shadow!"

"I don't believe you. How can you prove you're not a ghost but a shadow?"

"Get off me first, and I'll prove it to you."

"I haven't stepped on you, how can I get off? Oh, I forgot you said you're a shadow."

After a vengeful cleanup of the Shadow Fiend, Lance lifted his foot and walked away from Er Gouzi's shadow.

No sooner had he moved away, the Shadow Fiend slipped into his own shadow.

"You damn human, take a look at your own shadow."

Lance turned his head and saw that his shadow had taken on a fierce and terrifying visage, "You, you, you... What monster are you?!!!"

"Monster?!! Hahaha, I'm not a monster, I am a Demon!!! A Shadow Demon!!! From now on, your shadow is mine!!!"

"Is that so?"

???

Suddenly, the Shadow Fiend turned its head because the previous statement was uttered right next to its ear. When it turned, it screamed in shock, a monster ah!!!

A ferocious Evil Dragon's head shadow was grinning at it with a big mouth, crimson vertical pupils, and a frightening maw...

In the human's shadow, apart from this Shadow Fiend, how could there be such a terrifying monster?!

The Evil Dragon Shadow Fiend's Dragon Claw clasped its neck, "You dare try to steal my shadow? Believe it or not, I could swallow you whole?"

"Mercy, mercy... I had no idea a big shot like you was dwelling in the shadow. Please spare me... I will dare no more."

"Weren't you acting all mighty just now? Calling yourself 'big daddy' at every turn."

"No, no, no, you are the big daddy, you are, big daddy... Have mercy, I just wanted to scare the human a bit, I didn't mean to disturb you, big daddy... Please spare me, I won't dare again."

"You petty Shadow Fiend... Don't be so arrogant next time, not all the Shadow Fiends of various kinds are as lenient as I am. All right... you can go back to scaring the human now."

The Evil Dragon Shadow Fiend dissipated, and Lance's shadow returned to its human shape.

"Hiss... My head hurts a bit, what just happened? My shadow was talking... Demon... right! Demon, there's a Demon!!!"

Demon, get the hell out of my body!""

"Like hell I want to stay in your shadow now!!!""

The Shadow Fiend couldn't wait to escape from Lance's shadow, thinking it's better to leave this human to the Kind of World's Fiend; it's time to get away from here as quickly as possible.

And take some of the items here...

That Evil Dragon Shadow Fiend lord probably wouldn't mind these trifles.

At this point, the Shadow Fiend couldn't be bothered to scare Lance anymore. It dived into the shadows, intending to take all the items in the shop with it.

But just as it was about to act, the human's hand plunged into the shadows and pulled it out.

"You think I can't deal with you just because you want to play?"

"You, you, you... How could you pull me out from the shadows? Who are you, an ascetic from the temple?!"

"Foolish thief, do you see the gloves on my hands? These are called Gloves of Void. Wearing them, I can even pull out the beasts lurking in the void, let alone a Shadow Fiend that sneaks in the shadows. Is it hard to drag you out?

Talk, who sent you to steal? Give up your summoner, and I can have the guards of Alchemical City send you to The Abyss to serve your sentence."
