Chapter 40 Return

  "Come, sit down." Li Xie sat down, took out two bottles of wine, and tossed one to Zaynarde. He took a sip before saying, "I'll continue to help you advance, but secretly! However, your appearance at the top of the Eternal Tower has already drawn attention from others. For a period of time, you absolutely cannot advance to become a 10th-stage giant dragon, or else the Dragon Clan will definitely take action!"

  Xian nodded, and Li Xie continued: "Another question, how can you hide yourself!"

  "My human form, no one knows, as long as I don't transform into a giant dragon, no one knows who I am, unless they encounter the giant dragons, they can identify my identity by the unique aura on me."

  Wow!

  Grandma's, if I don't fool you, I reckon that after you threaten Duke Avril, you'll definitely want to kill me too to silence me!

  Li Xie muttered to himself for a few sentences, then continued: "Since that's the case, you'll follow me in human form and I'll secretly help you advance! Unless you become a 12th-level Dragon God, don't ever transform into a dragon again!"

  Xian Zhen Na De hesitated, and Li Xie said again: "How? Do you want to live in hatred all your life? Besides, revenge is not a one or two day thing. If you really want to take revenge, you must learn to endure and wait for the opportunity! You think that by constantly increasing your strength, you can take revenge? Hmph! Follow me, I'll help you! And this world won't have anyone else who will help you! Think about it!"

  Li Xie finished speaking and started drinking by himself, waiting for Zeenat's response!

  Zayn nodded after a moment of thought: "Alright! I'll listen to you for now, but if you dare deceive me, you'll be the first one I kill!"

  Haha, it seems I've fooled a giant dragon into being my bodyguard!

  It's just that your attitude isn't very good!

  Li Xie coldly snorted: "Don't dare to threaten me! It's your good fortune that there are people in this world willing to help you. Who has ever helped me? Either you listen to me completely, or kill me right now! Otherwise, I'll definitely tell you, I won't help you, and I'll even plot to kill you!"

  "How dare you!" Zein's eyes narrowed into icy glints.

  Li Xie said with a competitive tone: "You try it!"

  The two glared at each other like a turtle and an owl, and after a while, Zayn finally weakened and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

  "Just believe me, and you'll find the world is completely different!" Zainnarde, in some ways, is actually similar to Li Xie. Both are without dependence or support, yearning for a sense of belonging and something they can rely on. Therefore, Li Xie has already grasped Zainnarde's psychology, and it's impossible for him to hurt Li Xie!

  Having formally taken the giant dragon under his command, Li Xie's spirits lifted and he began to make plans for Zeennard: "You've already shown your face at the top of the Tower of Eternity and kidnapped me. Now I must return, while you must create a false impression that you were driven out by the Tudor Dynasty, making the dragon clan think you're not in Tudor. We'll do it this way, just watch my signal."

  Tudor Empire, Earl of Essex's mansion.

  Kano, Miao Miao, Lily and the guards are all standing at the entrance of the manor.

  Lily's face was streaked with tears, her expression anxious, she had just learned the news that Li Xie was kidnapped by a giant dragon, and at this moment she was worried about Li Xie's safety.

  Kano and a group of guards released their magical creatures, Kano looked at the hundred guards and shouted: "The lord was kidnapped by a giant dragon, it's our dereliction of duty! His Majesty doesn't allow us to take action, but I can't wait any longer! This time it's a 9th rank giant dragon that kidnapped the lord, if we go to find him now, we might be killed by the 9th rank giant dragon! However, how did the lord usually treat us? We should know! It's necessary to follow him to death! Who among you doesn't want to go with me to find the lord, step out now, I won't blame you! But if you're together, you must fight to the death to protect the lord's safety! Now, who wants to quit?

  "I will follow our leader to death and defend our lord to death!"

  One hundred guards, none retreated, even though they knew that this time they were facing a ninth-level giant dragon, the greatest possibility was total annihilation!

  The little cat on the ground also danced with its two front paws, baring its teeth and claws, its blue eyes full of ferocity: "If you kidnap this cat's mobile wine cellar, there will be severe consequences!"

  "Alright! The giant dragon is flying westward, let's head west and set off!"

  "Lord Kano, I'm going too!" Lili exclaimed, tugging on Kano's sleeve.

  "What are you doing? You can't even fight!"

  "I... I'll block it with my body!" Lily's eyes were so determined.

  "Don't be silly, don't send yourself to death for no reason. Take care of things at home and we'll bring the adults back!"

  "But..."

  "Alright, if we all die, you'll have to stay behind and help us dig our graves!" Kano patted Lily's hand and nodded at her.

  "Damn it, Cano! I've only been gone for a day and you're already trying to seduce my servant?" Li Xie exclaimed from afar, expressing his discontent.

  Kano and others immediately recognized the owner of the voice, their eyes looked over, fifty meters away, that person wearing a black suit, slightly slender and bald, wasn't it Li Xie?!

  "Sir!"

  "Master!"

  Meow...

  Everyone, along with the little kitten, rushed over excitedly. The guards surrounded Li Xie in the middle, Lily stood in front of Li Xie, tears streaming down her face. Kano hugged Li Xie tightly and the little kitten jumped directly onto Li Xie's head, meowing loudly to announce its return to the winery!

  "For Pete's sake, your bear hug is going to squeeze me to death! Let go!"

  Kano suddenly realized he was overexcited and hastily let go, embarrassedly rubbing his own head.

  Li Ye glared at him and walked over to Lily, wiping away her tears with his thumb: "What's there to cry about? I'm back in one piece, aren't I?"

  Lily's face turned bright red from Li Xie's gentle actions, and she lowered her head in shyness, rubbing the hem of her clothes with both hands, saying in a barely audible voice: "Master is back safely, Lily is happy."

  Next, it was supposed to be a scene where the master and servant put on an act, with the beautiful servant secretly harboring feelings for him. Unfortunately, at this moment, the foolish Cano spoke out of turn again: "Sir, why didn't you die?"

  Li Xie almost didn't catch his breath and angrily said: "Do you want me to die?"

  "No, no......" Kano hurriedly said: "What I mean is that you were kidnapped by the 9th rank giant dragon, and it's Zeenarnd, a ruthless dragon that kills without blinking. How can you be safe?!"

  "What's a nine-tier giant dragon?" Li Xie was quite disdainful: "Can't you see the one on my head? This is also a nine-tier demon beast..."

  Li Xie's head was held high with a proud meow, one front paw waving in the air, the right corner of his mouth raised, revealing a small white fang: This cat is a 9th-level demon beast, invincible and unyielding!

  "It was also collected by me obediently!" Li Xie said what he hadn't finished saying.

  Meow meowed for a moment, and the swinging front paws heavily slapped Li Xie's forehead, leaving a red cat paw print.

  "Heh heh......" Li Xie smiled wryly and ordered, "Kano, prepare the horse carriage, we're going to the Imperial Palace for a visit!"

  "Alright!"

  House of Tudor, Palace Inner Chamber.

  It was already eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Mercedes VII left Avel and Zaixing, and the three of them went to the study to discuss matters, with Chamberlain Er on the side.

  "The symbol of our worship - the Eternal Spire must be rebuilt as soon as possible!" said Duke Everil.

  Mercedes VII nodded: "This matter, I'll trouble Your Excellency Evelyn to take full responsibility. Another thing, Your Excellency, the evil Duke was taken away by Zeinard, isn't that true?"

  Mercedes VII had a conversation with Zuo Xiang earlier and inferred that Li Xie was likely to be a divine envoy. Moreover, Van Dyke Sael reported that Li Xie was very close to Duke Evielle at the top of the Eternal Tower.

  Mercedes VII was more familiar with Duke Avril, knowing that he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Goddess of Life and would not have any romantic thoughts, which made Mercedes VII even more certain of Li Xie's identity as a divine envoy! Apart from a divine envoy, who could make a Holy Sacrifice Priestess approach him, let alone be intimate with him?

  Looking at Duke Avier's expression of no concern towards Li Xie, Mercedes VII was even more convinced in her heart!

  However, despite this, Mercedes VII still decided to confirm it again. After all, Li Xie's existence had a significant impact on the Tudor dynasty! Even if he wasn't a divine descent master, his identity as a divine presence was enough for Mercedes VII to go to great lengths to protect him!

  "Please be at ease, Your Majesty." Duke Everard said calmly: "Duke Evil is a clever man, nothing will happen to him."

  Clever person? Even cleverer, can you emerge unscathed from the hands of the 9th-tier giant dragon Zaynarde who kills without blinking an eye?

  "It's all right, I know that Your Highness and the Evil Duke seem to have some sort of relationship, and you don't treat him as coldly as others do. I know that the Evil Duke has a kind heart, firm beliefs, and likes to help others, so I intentionally want to let him become your disciple and make him a priest, but I'm not sure if Your Highness will agree?" Mercedes VII said.

  Becoming an apprentice?

  "Ah, I wouldn't dare accept..." Duke Avril hastily said, seemingly realizing his slip of the tongue. He quickly added, "Mina is a Saint, but she just advanced and hasn't considered taking disciples yet, let's talk about it later."

  Mercedes VII smiled: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. Left Prime Minister, are the Imperial Guards arranged? Zeennard's usual style is to kill everywhere and force Princess Evielle to help him upgrade, absolutely cannot let him disturb the people!"

  Zuo Xiang Hari? Intel glanced at Duke Avril and smiled slightly: "Everything is arranged."

  At this time, someone outside the study was moving around, and one person walked in. This person was bald-headed, holding a golden plaque, and must be Li Xie.

  "Long live Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live forever and ever!"

  After meeting Mercedes-Benz 7th, Li Xie's first move was to pay his respects before speaking!

  But Li Xie's sudden arrival made Mercedes VII and Zuo stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

  "Quickly, please get up." Mercedes VII surprisingly got up from the chair and walked to Li Xie's side, helping him up: "It's good that you're alright, El. Bring a chair over!"

  Mercedes VII's actions made Duke Avier smile wryly. She was usually not in contact with people, and her thoughts were actually very simple, but simplicity didn't mean stupidity. She also guessed that she had been tricked by Mercedes VII. Now, both Mercedes VII and Zuo Xiang probably knew that the Evil Duke was a Divine Descendant!
