’Why are you joining in?’
Ren failed to control his emotions because her question greatly surprised him.
Sure, he knew her personality, but he didn’t expect her to ask such a question, especially when they had only t once before.
Velmira liked his expression, so she teased him again. "How about we hold our wedding on the sa day we inaugurate the kingdom? That way, we kill two birds with one stone."
"Oh! That’s a great idea!" Fyre agreed instantly.
"Yes. It’s a great idea." Hyzi and the others nodded.
"Velmira, you have undone your charm on her right?" Ren chose to walk away. "I will take her sowhere to show her what hell is."
"Don’t forget to return before our wedding day, honey." Velmira didn’t stop him and only smiled playfully.
’What a cute dragon!’
She added in her mind.

Luvrela Region, Nightshire City.
The situation in Nightshire City was calm and peaceful as usual. The destroyed building had been rebuilt and the victims had accepted the reality.
As Scarlett was talking to her people in the plaza, Ren approached the city while holding Zerina in his claw.
Zerina had been freed from Velmira’s charm, so she had been trying to free herself from him.
However, her efforts were in vain.
Ren had cripped her, so she no longer had the power to escape from him.
"Zerina, you never thought you would end up like this, right?" There was no trace of pity on his face because she had made the citizens suffer imnsely.
"Kill ! Kill if you are a man!" She didn’t want to be killed or tortured by non-awakeners because they didn’t deserve to do that.
She was a powerful mage and an elder of a powerful organization, so only a powerful awakener could kill, not the lowly non-awakeners.
"I’ve told you before that you need to face the consequences of your actions." Ren refused without thinking twice. "And I’m not a man now. I am a dragon."
"You, disgusting human! Are you a coward?" She tried to provoke him to make him lose his temper. "I suddenly wonder what your won sees in you. You are a pathetic and a coward. I’m sure you also can’t satisfy your won in bed."
She brought up a sensitive topic on purpose because most n would not tolerate being insulted in that area.
"Oh! Are you trying to make angry?" he could see her plans easily. "Just so you know, I’m not a coward and I’m great in bed. Of course, I would not sleep with you since I only do it with good won, but soone evil like you."
"Heh! I’ve t countless n like you before. All of them only have good-looking faces, but they all suck in bed and have small dicks." She didn’t give up and tried to provoke him again.
"Oh! Does that an you are a slut who sleep around with attractive n?" Ren counterattacked.
"You! You!" Her face turned red from anger.
When they were above Nightshire City, the citizens noticed them.
"Hey, look! A dragon is flying in the sky!"
"What?! A dragon?!"
"Is our city going to get attacked again?"
So citizens trembled in fear while all the soldiers took out their weapons.
But when Ren was slowly descending from the sky, they finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, it’s Ren!"
"Huff! I almost had a heart attack just now!"
"Hey, look! Ren is carrying a woman!"
"That woman, isn’t she one of the elders from that organization?"
"Yeah! I rember her! She is one of the three elders who attacked us a few months ago."
Their eyes burned with fury as they stared at Zerina, especially the victims’ families.
They wanted to avenge their fallen families so badly, so when they caught sight of her, a desire to torture her erged within them.
After landing slowly, Ren threw Zerina to the ground. "Everyone, I’ve destroyed Misty Palace. You can do whatever you want to her."
All the victims rushed toward Zerina.
At first, they beat her up until her body was full of bruises.
However, they stopped shortly after that.
They didn’t want her to die quickly, so they stopped beating her up and tied her to a tree.
"You bad woman! You killed my father!" A kid grabbed a stone and threw it at Zerina, landing perfectly on her face.
"You killed my brother! I will kill you!" another kid threw a stone at her.
As they were torturing her, Scarlett and Lexie approached Ren.
"Ren!" Scarlett could not jump into his arms because his body was too big.
"Ren, are you hurt?" Lexie asked.
"I’m fine." Ren carefully caressed their hair with his claw. "Where are Althea and the others?"
"They left to manage affairs in their new territory," Lexie replied. "Ren, what will you do next?"
"I’m going to find a way to return to my human form." He could not cuddle with his won in dragon form, so his next goal was to regain his human form.
"So, you are going to leave again?" Scarlett’s face turned sad because she still wanted to be with him.
"Yes." Ren retrieved a skill book from his space ring. "Scarlett, this is the skill that allows to travel thousands of kiloters in a single step. I want you to learn it and master it quickly."
"Un." Scarlett accepted the skill book imdiately. "I will master this quickly."
Then, Ren invited them to fly with him.
He placed them gently on his back and soared into the sky, letting them enjoy the breathtaking view from above.
When the sun was setting, they flew in the direction of the orange sun.
Maybe it was because they had been apart for three months or perhaps because they were watching the sunset from the sky, but at that mont, they felt closer than ever, as if nothing else in the world mattered.
Once the sun had set, they returned to Nightshire City and spent the evening together in the backyard of his ho.
The following morning, Ren returned to his kingdom to oversee affairs in his newly claid territory.
Both Scarlett and Lexie wore sad faces before he left.
Scarlett even hugged his right claw tightly because they were going to be apart for more than a month again.
As he flew in the sky, he was determined to find a way to regain his human form as quickly as possible because seeing the sorrow on his won’s faces made his heart ache more than any injury ever could.
’Wait for ! I will return as fast as possible.’

Sheozica Region, Heavenly Beast Kingdom.
Countless magical beasts were guarding the palace and chatting happily. When Ren went to Nightshire City, Velmira began organizing everything.
She was not new to leadership, so by the ti he returned to the kingdom, everything was already in perfect order.
"When are we going to conquer the other organizations?" a 3-star Hyna asked.
"Queen Velmira said we would send ssages to them once we inaugurate our kingdom." 3-star rabbit replied.
"Just be patient. Our king has returned, so the inauguration of our kingdom is only a few days away." A 3-star boar joined the conversation.
When the Hyna was about to say sothing, he noticed soone in the sky.
The woman had a beautiful face like an angel.
However, her body bore several wounds.
Anyone who saw her would know right away that she had just fought soone before coming to their place.
That young lady was none other than Evelyn.
"It’s that female human!" The boar still rembered Evelyn vividly because she made their enemies listen to her right after she appeared on the battlefield.
"What is she doing here? Does she want to avenge her fallen people?" the Hyna asked.
"Get ready to fight!" The rabbit retrieved his axes from his space ring.
All magical beasts gathered in one place and were ready to face her.
But when they were about to launch an attack, Ren ca out of the palace and stood in front of her.
Worry flickered in his eyes when he noticed the wounds on her body.
"You...what hap-" For so reason, he could not finish his question.
Evelyn retrieved a skill book from her space ring and tossed it to him.
[Ding! Host has discovered the Nirvana Arts skill book? Do you want to learn it?]
A notification popped up when the skill book landed in his hands.
"Whatever existed between us is gone," Evelyn said without hesitation. "From now on, we are nothing but strangers."
