That buck-toothed official in charge of the long street rushed out of the city in terror, along with the crowd. It was wide open outside, and countless figures could be seen making their way into the mountain forest to hide. However, not everyone was as lucky as them.

Just as they escaped, a loud crash was heard behind them.

The city gates had fallen!

The raging flames had devoured the city gates and walls. A dense crowd was screaming in the bright red city. That scene seemed like something from a hellish purgatory!

Dragon!

So this was a dragon!

A single fire dragon could bring about such annihilation to a prosperous city!

The strength and intelligence of humanity seemed completely meaningless in the face of such a godly beast!

At Ever City’s city lord’s mansion…

The scene right outside the open gates was one of disaster. Fiery red light shone on the face of the new city lord. He had just taken control over the city, and it was already reduced to such a state after negotiations went south.

“Look at this scene. Are you satisfied?”a pale man asked from inside the mansion, smiling. There was not a hint of warmth to be found in his smile. Instead, it gave off a chill…

“Lord dragon tamer, we have no enmity between us. Why are you…” the new city lord asked, his voice trembling.

“Of course not. I only wanted to make you understand that you have to listen to every word of mine seriously. I don’t like repeating myself; it makes me feel like you’re taking me lightly. I detest hesitating answers even more, because you are not qualified to bargain with me!” the pale master dragon tamer stated.

“Look, Mister Luo Xiao, my daughter is in the prime of her youth, with outstanding looks and peerless wits and bravery. If my lord fancies her…” the city lord began.

The pale master dragon tamer shot a glance at a woman at the side, whose appearance could be considered first-class, and let out a humph in disdain.

He opened the scroll in his hand once more, pointed at the woman painted on it, and said with a fierce expression, “The one I want is her! I told you before; I want her! It looks like I’m still acting too benevolently. There is indeed no need for this city to exist any longer!”

“My lord! My lord!!”

“The person you want was overthrown by my daughter not long ago. She was reduced to a prisoner and spent nights with a little beggar locked up in the dungeon. Even if a beauty of her standard is rarely found in this world, she has already been reduced to a woman of the cheapest, dirtiest level. It’s also a proven fact that she had nothing good going for her, except for her beauty!” the white-haired City Lord Lu exclaimed.

Hearing this, the muscles on the dragon tamer’s face twitched. His eyes exuded boundless rage that burned even hotter than the gilded fire dragon’s scales outside the hall!

“What did you say?!” The master dragon tamer, Luo Xiao’s, tone had thoroughly changed. It used to be one of disdain and arrogance, but now, his icy coldness could be clearly felt!

Luo Xiao had endured all kinds of hardships, suffered countless humiliations, and finally crossed his dragon gate at the edge of despair, achieving his current status as a master dragon tamer.

After dragonizing, the first thing he wanted to do was to prove himself to her, hoping that she would take a liking to him. He never expected that the woman of his dreams had actually been sullied in Ever City, and it was by a lowly, dirty beggar, to boot!

“Lord dragon tamer, you’re like the sun in the sky. No one in this barren land wouldn’t look up to your brilliance. Why cling to a dirty woman whose reputation is tarnished? I am still considered pure and elegant, with some wits for commanding troops and ruling a city. If you don’t find it beneath you, I can marry you today, to celebrate lord dragon tamer’s crossing of your dragon gate,” the woman said with a sharp voice, the final bit of her sentence exuding hints of charm, like a smart and tame little fox.

Luo Xiao shot another glance at the city lord’s daughter.

The new city lord’s temples were white, and he was soft and weak, like a eunuch used as a puppet figure. He looked like he had soiled his pants just from seeing the dragon tamer. This woman, on the other hand, showed some calm with every move and every word she said.

Every time the Ever City’s city lord spoke, he would take a look at the woman. It was easy to see that this new city lord was only a vassal. This charming and witty little fox of a woman was the real person in power!

Seeing the dragon tamer, Luo Xiao, was sizing her up, the foxy woman slowly raised her head, allowing him to get a good look at her appearance.

“Hehe,” Luo Xiao suddenly reached out, grabbing the new city lord’s daughter’s neck and said, “If she’s a pearl, then you’re no different from stinky mud. It’s not necessary for you worthless people who grew up in rotten soil to live in this world any longer!”

Just as he was done speaking, in the skies outside the wide open doors, a fire dragon with blazing flames all over its body slowly widened its mouth, its throat as hot as a forge…

Boooooom…!!!

Dragon fire gushed forth like a red river. The entire city lord mansion was melted. The abusive tyrants inside the mansion were similarly burned into bloody water. Not even the servants, maids, and slaves were spared!

Luo Xiao stood in the raging flames, his hand still clamped onto the city lord’s daughter. The dragon fire didn’t burn even a single strand of his hair. The foxy woman he was grabbing, on the other hand…
