Chapter 201 I'm Going to Peck Through Your Dragon's Head! Damn, My Mouth is So Numb...

"Ask him if he dares to go to Peacock City?"
There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do; he came to Vastness City intending to use it as a gateway to Peacock City.
To see Venus, who Ay Roman has always kept by her side.
Venus's treatment is much better than Amelia's. In their last video call, Peacock King Aroman didn't imprison Venus but allowed her to follow at her side and come with her to Peacock City.
As for the matter of Elya, with Venus staying close to Peacock King Aroman, she could better gather some information related to Elya.
Amelia is in a worse situation, trapped by the Original Energy Array. The married lord of Vastness, with both a wife and a mistress, wouldn't let Amelia follow him around all the time.
He might, however, let Amelia serve his wife.
He tried to provoke Lance with reverse psychology.
Does he think I am afraid to go to Peacock City out of apprehension towards Aroman, and thus I'm refusing his company?
It seems he's also worried I might choose to stay in Vastness City.
Strange.
I wonder what Vastness is afraid of; I'm not interested in his city.

"Reverse psychology doesn't work on me. Tell me honestly, what are you worried about, what are you afraid of?"
"What am I worried about? You're the Lord of Red Dragon City, and I'm the Lord of Vastness City. We hold equal status, why would I be worried?"
Lance casually found a chair, used his Dragon Claw to pull it next to him, sat down, cradled his Dragon Claw, and his dragon mouth cracked a slight grin.
"You take this elf with you to Peacock City, and I'll wait for you here in Vastness."
"You're not coming with me to Peacock City because you're afraid Aroman will kill you."
"How clever, you guessed it. I am indeed afraid that Aroman will kill me."
Grinding his teeth, Red Dragon Lance, this damned Dog, doesn't possess any of the pride that Pureblood Dragons should, not only does the reverse psychology not work on him, but he also keenly sensed Vastness's reluctance to have him stay in his city.
"If you stay here, I'm afraid you'll corrupt my daughter."
Lance looked into Vastness's eyes for a moment and then shook his head, "That's a reason, but still not your true thoughts. If you want me to accompany you to Peacock City, stop lying to me, and tell me honestly... why don't you want me to stay in Vastness City."
"I'm afraid that, while I'm gone, you'll take a fancy to my wife and steal her away. Happy now? Can we go?"
Vastness expressionlessly stated the real reason why he didn't want Lance to stay in Vastness City.
The Red Dragon sitting in the chair flashed a look of bewilderment in his fiery red pupils.
Several reasons Vastness might not want him to stay flashed through his mind.
But never this one.
Afraid he coveted his wife...
He's not some lecherous boss, nor has he awakened any strange fetish for other men's wives; why would he covet Vastness's wife?
Besides, he's never even met Vastness's wife, so why would Vastness think he, a "Red Dragon", would be interested in a female Giant Elephant?
"You're thinking too much, a friend's wife is off-limits; that's a line I won't cross."
Lance stood up, ready to follow Vastness to Peacock City.
Maybe it was still good to give Vastness some peace of mind; he liked that Vastness was a husband who cared about his wife.
Whether Vastness is a good City Master or not, he did not know.
But Vastness is a good husband and father.
"So you're... ready to go with me to Peacock City?"
"Yes."
"Let's go now, I have a Teleportation Array here that leads directly to Peacock City. Besides Peacock City, there are also arrays to Magma City, Huoxiong City, and Wanhua Garden."
"Is there one direct to Red Dragon City?"
"No."
"???"
Alright then, isolating Red Dragon City are we? Never mind, he's not the Lord of Red Dragon City right now. As for the relationships between Red Dragon City and the other cities, it's probably best not to meddle unnecessarily.
The future course of Red Dragon City should be up to the Acting City Master of Red Dragon City.
Speaking of which, the Dragon Whelp should have arrived at Red Dragon City by now, right?
The first time leaving him to explore a strange city on her own, he wondered whether the Dragon Whelp would be able to adapt.
She should be able to adapt gradually. With Er Gouzi and Turtle with her, she won't feel lonely or insecure.
Turtle had been shrunk to the size of a human palm, and he had instructed the Dragon Whelp that if she encountered danger, she should just throw Turtle like a hidden weapon, and Turtle would automatically return to its original size.
A Turtle of over thirty meters has a certain deterrent effect on ordinary Flying Dragons and sub-dragons.
Moreover, the Dragon Whelp carries a token from the First Generation Red Dragon King; if she encounters any issues in Red Dragon City, showing the token will ensure the "officials" of Red Dragon City treat her with due respect.
If she shows the token and the "officials" of Red Dragon City do not give the Dragon Whelp the respect she deserves, then once he's dealt with the "Sunshine Squad" members' matter, he'll make another trip back to Red Dragon City and replace all those visionless "officials."
He may not care about Red Dragon City, but he cannot be indifferent to his own Dragon Whelp's feelings.
Besides, if the officials of Red Dragon City do not respect the Dragon Whelp holding the token, they are disrespecting the prestige of the First Generation Lord of Red Dragon City.
If those people made him lose face in front of his own Dragon Whelp, it was only fair that they paid at least a small price.
The All-Encompassing deactivated the Yuan Energy Array, releasing Amelia.
Amelia, having regained her freedom, didn't rush to escape. Venus was in Peacock City; even if she ran from the All-Encompassing City, she would eventually end up in Peacock City.
Because she needed to meet with Iliya.
"Don't worry, I won't run. There's no need to restrict my freedom. My teammate is in Peacock City, and even if I run from the All-Encompassing City, I'll still have to go to Peacock City.
I don't do things that are pointless."
Amelia walked out of the Yuan Energy Array and came before Red Dragon Lance, holding her head high as she looked at him: "The offer I made you before still stands. Think it over, become the mount of my teammate, the swindler Lance, and you can evolve into a Pureblood Giant Dragon.
With his position as the first Pope of the Dragon God Temple, it wouldn't be a disgrace to you, not to mention he's also a Domain Level powerhouse."
"Wait until your strongest teammate can beat the Lord of Peacock City and the All-Encompassing City Master, then come and discuss this matter with me."
"Agree now, and you can negotiate terms with me. Once my teammate defeats the Lord of Peacock City and the All-Encompassing City Master, you will lose the right to negotiate terms with me."
"Is that so? I'll look forward to it then."
The All-Encompassing headed toward the Teleportation Array leading to Peacock City with Amelia and Red Dragon Lance.
About fifteen minutes later, the figures of the All-Encompassing, Amelia, and Red Dragon Lance vanished from the Teleportation Array.
.......
Peacock City was built in the central region of the Peacock Mountain Range.
The mountain ranges where all the great city lords resided were named after their races.
This was accepted by all the major kingdoms of the Human World in the Dragon Domain.
Under normal circumstances, the kingdoms of the Human World in the Dragon Domain would not provoke these city lords.
Not only were these city lords extremely powerful, but the Yuan beasts under their command were all terrifyingly strong, and importantly, these city lords also had armies.
As long as these city lords didn't actively infringe on the kingdoms' interests, the human kingdoms were willing to coexist peacefully with them.
Lance, Amelia, and the All-Encompassing appeared directly in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion gate of Peacock City through the teleportation.
In the center of the square, a peacock spreading its wings was carved.
"Go and inform the Queen that Lord All-Encompassing from the All-Encompassing City has arrived."
"Yes."
"Wait... wait a minute!!! Again... add one more thing, that the first Generation Red Dragon King of Red Dragon City has also arrived!!! Go and inform her immediately!!!"
A bird-headed guard wielding a long spear turned into a peacock and flew towards the interior of the City Lord's Mansion.
Other bird-headed guards on the square surrounded Lance, Amelia, and the All-Encompassing, who were standing in the center of the Teleportation Array.
"Sorry, Lord All-Encompassing, you temporarily can't leave the Teleportation Array until the Queen arrives here. As for the reason, I'm sure you understand.
We hope Lord All-Encompassing will not make things difficult for us."
The All-Encompassing glanced at Red Dragon Lance beside him, not bad for an Evil Dragon on Peacock King Aroman's hit list, doing nothing but merely standing here was enough to have Peacock City's guards on high alert.
"Your reaction... is not as good as the guards of All-Encompassing City; at least they know not to point their weapons at me when they see me."
"Red Red Red Dragon King... we mean no offense, please stand still and don't move."
"Then put away your weapons."
Upon hearing this, the leading bird-headed guard turned his head to look back at the City Lord's Mansion and then at the Red Dragon King standing in the center of the Teleportation Array.
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his weapon, taking a defensive stance.
Seeing this, the other bird-headed guards also put away their aggressive postures and switched to defensive stances.
Even Lord All-Encompassing of the All-Encompassing City was being held hostage by the first Generation Red Dragon King; they were even less of a match for him.
The only one who can match the First Generation Red Dragon King is... the Queen.
Boom—
An extremely domineering aura rose from the center of the City Lord's Mansion, and soon after, a Colorful Peacock phantom appeared above the City Lord's Mansion.
"Red Dog Lans!!! You've got some nerve! After so many years, you actually dare to come to my Peacock City. Do you really think I can't kill you?!!"
As Red Dragon Lance spread his wings and soared into the sky, he turned into a Red Dragon with a body that wasn't very huge, but still, his cast shadow enveloped almost half of the City Lord's Mansion.
Right now, he was Red Dragon Lance, still a Red Dragon with impure blood, and naturally, his dragon body couldn't compare with that of the Pureblood Dragons.
Transforming into a Red Dragon, Lance breathed a fiery red Dragon Breath toward the Seven-colored Shadow Peacock in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.
The blazing fiery red Dragon Breath instantly vaporized the Colorful Peacock shadow.
Peacock King Aroman was more hot-headed than the All-Encompassing.
To make her speak nicely, she needed to be subdued a bit.
A Colorful Peacock, as large as a Flying Dragon, flew out from the City Lord's Mansion, rose to the sky, and reached mid-air, flapping its wings toward Red Dragon Lance and shooting numerous Seven-Colored Feather Arrows at him.
Lance opened his mouth again to breathe Dragon Breath, and the moment the fiery red Dragon Breath collided with the Seven-Colored Feather Arrows, an explosion occurred.
The Colorful Peacock flapped its wings through the explosion zone, aiming its claws at Red Dragon Lance's head.
Just as the Colorful Peacock's claws were about to grasp Lance's dragon head, a fiery red Dragon Claw fiercely grabbed at the Colorful Peacock's claw.
The size of the Colorful Peacock's body, which was as large as a Flying Dragon, shrank by half in an instant; taking the opportunity, it pulled its claw out of Lance's Dragon Claw and gave Red Dragon Lance a Three-Point Bow.
With its beak, it pecked fiercely at Red Dragon Lance's head three times.
Such a hard dragon head.
Such a numb beak....
