Chapter 319: Because You Are My Lord? (1/2)

As he tapped ”accept”, a magical circle appeared on the Fire Ant Emperor's forehead. Tang Shaoyang put his palm on it.

[You have successfully established the contract with a spirit ”Malki the Fire Ant Emperor”!]

Malki's figure turned into a crimson ball of light and entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead. The contract had been established, Malki was sent to his spirit space.

—Thank you for willing to accept me, My Lord.

A static voice rang in his head. It was a foreign voice, not Karan and Zowen for sure. Zaneos was still outside there with his avatar body. So the voice should belong to Malki.

'Are you Malki?' Tang Shaoyang asked the voice.

—Yes, My Lord. This humble servant's name is Malki.

He was about to ask why Malki suddenly submitted toward him, but Zaneos walked to his side and spoke, ”I will go back now.”

Tang Shaoyang nodded and Zaneos's avatar body turned into smoke and disappeared. Then he saw the concerned little girl, she stared at him worriedly, ”What's wrong?” He asked the girl as he looked at his own body. He was still in his [Dragon Transformation].

'Ah, maybe she is scared of my current form,' he assumed the girl was scared of him who was covered in scales, horn, and wing. He canceled the [Dragon Transformation] and returned to his original look.

”Are you okay?” Li Na asked as she scanned him from the top to bottom.

”I am fine, you can see it,” he tried to punch and kick into the air. The girl was genuinely concerned about him, so he tried to prove to her that he was fine.

”It was one of my skills, so you should not worry about that,” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand dismissively at the girl, ”Rather than that, let's look for a safe place to get some rest. You look exhausted.”

Tang Shaoyang walked toward the closest mound. He climbed the five meters tall mound and looked into the big hole in the center. It was dark, but he could see through his [Dragon Eyes].

'What a convenience eye to be able to see in the dark,' he thought to himself as he scanned the hole.

Li Na followed him closely, she looked into the hole curiously. Wondering why her leader looked down there, but she could not see anything in the dark.

”Let's go, inside should be safe,” they had slaughtered thousands of the Scorched Ants, so the nest should be empty and safe.

”Huh, why?” She blurted out. The hole should lead them to the main nest. Inside should be the most dangerous place.

”Getting some rest? You look exhausted,” Tang Shaoyang turned to the girl with confusion.

”But inside is the Scorched Ant's nest? It's dangerous,” she looked at the bottomless hole again.

He rolled his eyes at her, ”What are you talking about? Dangerous? We just slaughtered hundreds of thousands of the Scorched Ants, inside should be empty instead. Inside is safe.”

Tang Shaoyang squatted next to her, ”Hop on, we will enter the nest,” the reason he wanted to carry her because the hole was steep. It went straight down without any curve, he needed to use [Sky Walk] to come down.

Li Na stiffened as she was not expecting this, but soon she came to her senses, ”N-no, i-it's okay, I can come down alone.”

She immediately regretted it as soon as she finished her words. This was her chance to get closer to the man she loved, but she wasted it, 'Stupid Li Na, why did you refuse him! This is your chance, act bolder Li Na!' She was screaming to herself inside.

”The hole is too steep unless you want to be a meat paste, you can jump in,” he rolled his eyes at her, ”Just hop on, why are so embarrassed?”

When those words came from Tang Shaoyang's mouth, Li Na did not waste her chance again. Without any words, she walked to his back and hopped onto his back.

Her face turned red, it was so embarrassing, more embarrassing than accepting the first offer because she declined it once. Now she easily hopped onto his back. She immediately buried her face onto his shoulder, not daring to raise her face.
