"What is this...?" Nana felt herself wrapped in warmth, and even Cain's teeth and claws in front of her seemed useless.

"It looks like you're just in time!"

"The Dragon Spirit Contract that stayed on my right wrist?"

"Where is this?"

"It's inside your body!"

"Father, did you willingly use the contract to prevent me from killing you?" Cain was trapped and unable to move.

"No, I'm telling you, love is stronger than you!"

"Ridiculous! Talking about love with demons? It's hatred that makes one powerful, that's what represents the demonic race!"

"Enchanted by love! Doing everything for love, do you think gods would do that? Your eyes are filled with hatred, you haven't seen anything at all! Your perspective right now... is so narrow! Find someone to wash your eyes!" I gestured with both hands, indicating a width of just a few centimeters.

"Are you looking for me?" Bai Qin Yang came out, looking bored.

"Who are you?"

"Your dad's good friend!" Bai slowly walked behind Cain. "Who in the Three Realms is stronger than me when it comes to washing away the hostility in people's hearts?"

Bai covered Cain's eyes with both hands, his soul power unrestrained without the limitations of a human body.

"Ah ah ah ah... Light... Light!"

"Don't move, we're all the same here. The power you possess from a higher dimension cannot be fully handled, so just relax." Bai cleared away the hatred in Cain's eyes, allowing him to see the present and the past clearly.

"This...!" Cain instantly lit up like a plug being properly connected. He got it!

"Cain, do you remember what I told you when you were only half my height and fell from the cliff?"

"Just hold onto the firmest rock and you can keep climbing up! Father, I thought you forgot!"

"I remember, every child remembers. Now, are you holding onto the firmest rock?" I half squatted in front of Cain, appearing gentle even to myself. "To use blood as a guide and transform into a dragon, it's poison, as well as the dumbest method. You're beyond redemption."

"I know, I know. Whether I succeed or fail this time, I will be completely destroyed." Cain lowered his head and spoke with a heavy tone.

"In the final moments, I don't want you to take your hatred towards me with you." The hatred on Cain slowly faded away. It was time for him to see clearly. A demon, once obsessed, truly couldn't see anything, not even the love of their parents. For billions of years, his hatred had only grown and not diminished. Now, it took the combined force of me and Bai to have a chance of letting him see clearly, and for him to gradually understand that all his hatred had been meaningless.

At this moment, the more Cain reminisced about the past, the less pain the hatred brought him. In fact, he had always been in pain. He was busy with bloodsucking, while I enjoyed freedom.

I embraced Cain and spoke clearly, word by word. "I've said it before, the only things I care about, the only things that make me nervous, are the people who truly exist in my heart. And they are not just women!"

"I... can't go to the Underworld, so... there won't be another life for me, right?"

"Ah~ In this lifetime, being father and son is enough!"

The two of us were truly foolish. We actually repeated lines that only humans would say. Life and death were common matters, and even if Cain once ruled the Three Realms, there were still many things outside the Three Realms that I didn't know about.

"Hey hey! Are you two alright? It's been half an hour." Lilith tapped my head. After Cain completely left Nana's body, we gradually regained our consciousness.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Ah~~ Why do both of us sisters know a jerk like you? You're simply a disaster." Lilith eyes were sharp, and she noticed the contract on Nana's right wrist early on. Normal girls wouldn't feel good with it, even if they were sisters. But Lilith's tone, instead, leaned more towards blaming me for harming Nana.

"Sister, can you still compete for the position of Demon King? There's another rank between Demon Dragon and the Demon King, reserved for the contracted one."

Nana slowly pointed the knife at me, and this was the third time today that I had been threatened with a knife.

"I care more about the throne!"

"Huh, no wonder you only know one move. I didn't truly understand you until now. Finally, you've revealed your greatest desire. Well, but it doesn't matter. The contract is temporary. The Dragon Spirit Contract - A Seven-Day Romance. After seven days, you can choose to accept or refuse."

"The throne is something that must be fought for. No one can stop me. I've been working hard for it in front of my father, and I want to prove that I can become a better Demon King than all my brothers."

"I understand what you're thinking now. You won't be the first Demon King with a contract. Anyway, what you have to choose after seven days is whether to accept or reject our relationship." I dodged her knife, stood up, and carried Perra with me.

"A Seven-Day Romance? Why is Qin Yang different from us? Why don't we have a choice?"

"If it weren't for Xiao Qiong's situation, I wouldn't make Nana choose." The Demon Dragon wouldn't be this indecisive, but strictly speaking, I was still Qin Yang for now. The temporary Dragon Spirit Contract was not as ancient as the Dragon Spirit Contract, and I recently made some modifications to the original contract rules. Although it took a lot of time and effort, the first adaptation was successful. Originally, I didn't have much confidence, so it wasn't possible for me to find a living person to experiment with.

"Xiao Yu, take your queen to rest. Cain has drained her blood by hiding her type. She needs to recuperate." Perra looked like a dried corpse, no different from the day I saw her at the church. But she wasn't dead. I cut my hand, and the scorching hot blood flowed into it before sliding between her teeth.

Seven days.

On the seventh day, Perra still hadn't woken up. The few of us had been hiding on Zhao Yuansong's aircraft for seven days. During those seven days, I ran to many places, but the voice still didn't reveal its location. What lay before me now was the last possibility - the Dragon Tomb.

In addition.

In the palace of Frost Lord, Frost Lord was deeply engrossed in carving a small ice sculpture in his hand, carving it with remarkable precision. It was the best way to pass the time.

"You've made it like this. Do you know how embarrassing it is? 'Fu Yan' hasn't restarted since it fell. The whole incident caused a huge uproar. You've really done it this time. The person ran away, but the tail is still so long."

Tony was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with only a mouth and two eyes visible. It was amazing that he survived such a massive magical explosion. Not only did he shed his skin, but the magical trauma also left him with permanent aftereffects. It would probably take a couple hundred years for his fur to grow back, and what's more, regular magical treatments didn't work.

"That Qin Yang is not an ordinary person."

"What's so special about him?"

"He's the Demon Dragon!" Tony unraveled the bandages around his head, revealing residual magical fluctuations with flesh and blood.

"Clang~" Frost Lord crushed the ice sculpture in his hand.

"The quality of his magic is extremely high, it's terrifying. But the opposite of high-quality magic is that its sustainability is very poor."

"Are you sure?"

"Do you remember the mask of the Demon Dragon? Qin Yang had one. I didn't see it after that, but I'm sure it was that mask. There's a girl next to Demon Dragon who is the daughter of the Underworld King. This is known throughout the entire Demon Realm, and Qin Yang has only two girls by his side. But no matter how you infer it, it's not enough for him to admit it himself."

"Haha... So the Fallen Feather's downfall can be completely explained; there's nothing he can't do."

"I can't find him like this. I need your help. He's not as powerful as the legends say. What can a vampire do to help?"

"A vampire? There have been vampires in Yu City before... Is he one of their allies?" Forst Lord paced the room, his brow filled with worry. In his mind, many things connected, all pointing towards me.

"No need to think about it. He is the Demon Dragon. Are you afraid of him too?"

Forst Lord grabbed Tony's neck, Tony's hand still gripping the knife, unable to pull it out.

"Are you mocking me?"

"Isn't it true? You've been talking for so long, but when have you taken action? I'm different. I dare to kill, and I promise that if I can't kill him, I won't kill anyone else."

"Provocation!"

"Provocation? You don't need to do that, do you? You're already so old and still haven't realized? Forst Lord, you have too many concerns about the Demon Dragon. This is the only chance, there won't be another. It's before the Demon Dragon's magic has fully recovered."

"You have the opportunity, so why don't you go?"

"I'm severely injured right now, temporarily powerless. But once he's dead, nobody will mention that promise ever again."

"Where is he now?"

"Latest news - Dragon's Tomb!"
