Chapter 284

Although Shien had committed a huge suicide, Ai Yi did not pursue the matter in the end.

Compared to bickering with Shien, Ai Yi still wanted to persuade the black dragon to follow her.

She had no choice. It was the first time that Ai Yi had met a dragon with such great potential.

"It's already at Level 99 even before it transforms into a human. When it transforms into a human and transforms from a monster to a demon, it'll probably be the next strongest among all the dragons besides me."

It was evident how much Ai Yi thought of this black dragon to be worthy of such an evaluation.

However, this black dragon was very stubborn. Even though it knew of Ai Yi's awesomeness, it still did not compromise. It stubbornly followed by Shien's side and was unwilling to go to the Demon Realm.

This indeed surprised Shien, and he was even touched.

"I didn't expect you to be so loyal. I didn't waste my effort in saving your life."

Shien was filled with emotion as he patted the black dragon's body. He was just a step away from directly becoming sworn brothers with it.

On the contrary, Ai Yi rolled her eyes at Shien and said helplessly, "Dragons are not loyal.

However, every dragon has a strong sense of pride. It's not willing to go with me because it has already lowered its head to you and recognized you as its master. It doesn't want to go back on its word. "

That's right, this was the truth.

The black dragon did not leave with Ai Yi not because it was not tempted, but because it had already recognized Shien as its master before Ai Yi had thrown out the olive branch.

In addition, its life was saved by Shien. It was also thanks to Shien that it could completely absorb the magic and flesh of the Alchemist Demon and rise to this level. This made the black dragon's pride not allow it to just pat its butt and leave.

Thus, even though Ai Yi had thrown out all sorts of tempting bait, the black dragon still decided to follow Shien in the end.

It did not do it for anything else but to repay Lin Li's kindness and take responsibility for its actions of recognizing its master.

"I didn't expect a monster like you to have such awareness."

After knowing this, Shien had a whole new level of respect for the black dragon.

In order to repay a debt of gratitude and recognize its master, it had given up so many benefits. Most people would not be able to do that, right?

"Humans are really inferior to monsters."

The way Shien looked at the dragon changed.

Under the influence of the Demonic Refinement Ritual, all the other monsters had gone mad. Only this one was still holding on, struggling to maintain its consciousness.

After absorbing the magic and flesh of the Alchemist Demon, the black dragon also became monsters. It was the only one that resisted desperately and did not allow itself to fall.

Finally, faced with the recruitment of Ai Yi, who could be said to be the king of the dragons, it could also resist the temptation. In order to repay Sean's kindness, it recognized Sean as its master and refused everything decisively.

This dragon simply had too much personality, too much charisma.

Sean had to admit that he was starting to like the dragon.

Originally, Shien did not really want to bring this dragon with him.

After all, this dragon was so huge, and he had to return to the royal capital. Bringing it along would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Didn't Shien release the griffin that brought him out of the Forest of Monsters for a similar reason?

So, even though he said that he wanted to become a dragon knight, in reality, Shien was prepared to let the black dragon return after leaving the Adol Canyon and continue to guard his territory.

When Ai Yi opened her mouth to recruit him, Sean did not intervene in this matter, because he actually did not care.

So, even if the black dragon agreed, he would not be depressed. At most, he would take the opportunity to blackmail Ai Yi.

But now, Shien changed his mind.

"I've decided."

Shien patted the black dragon's wings and said after a moment of silence.

"From now on, you'll be called You Lin."

"You" was a close word for "dragon" from his previous world.

"Lin" was a close word for "spirit" from his previous world.

"You Lin" — this name proved Sean's recognition of the black dragon and his decision to regard it as his true partner.

"You Lin" — this name proved that Shien recognized the black dragon and decided to treat it as his true companion.

As for why he named it that way, it was because Ai Yi said that this dragon was actually a female dragon.

"I hope you can reach the top of the dragon race in the future and become a true dragon queen."

Ai Yi could not help but roll her eyes at Shien's words.

You Lin, the dark dragon, let out a deafening roar of excitement, as if responding to Sean's lofty aspirations. Her aura was monstrous.

Just like that, the black dragon You Lin became the hero's mount and companion.

Ai Yi looked at this scene and did not say anything in particular.

"To be recognized by such a powerful dragon, this proves his ability."

Ai Yi looked at Shien, who was stroking You Lin's head, and after a while, she could not help but laugh.

"Then let me see just how far this dragon can go with you by your side," Roland said with a smile.

Ai Yi looked at You Lin and could not help but feel a little regretful.

"Other things aside, this dragon's aptitude and potential are indeed not bad. Once it transforms into a Demon, it will definitely surpass those four idiots."

If it awakened a unique skill in the future, and that unique skill was also relatively strong, then it would definitely not be a delusion to sit firmly on the position of the strongest after the demons.

It was Ai Yi's first time seeing a dragon that was level 99 and only one step away from the max level.

In the Demon Realm, once a dragon reached adulthood and reached level 80, it would immediately be nurtured by the demons and work hard to transform into a human.

Of course, not all dragons could successfully transform into humans and transform into Demons.

However, dragons that could reach level 90 and above would usually succeed.

And once such a dragon transformed into a human, the probability of awakening a unique skill was very high.

Two of Ai Yi's four cadres were like this. They were only brought to Ai Yi when they reached level 90 and finally succeeded in transforming into a human, awakening a unique skill, and becoming Ai Yi's powerful generals.

Dragons were too rare, and because their entire body was a treasure, they were often hunted and attacked by others. It was not easy for a dragon to grow to level 90 and above in the wild.

At least, Ai Yi had only encountered it twice in her life, which was enough to prove this point.

However, this was also related to the dragon's slow growth rate.

Even if they could reach level 80 when they reached adulthood, dragons were a very long-lived race. It was absolutely impossible for them to reach adulthood without hundreds or even thousands of years.

With such a long time, before a dragon reached adulthood, it would basically be hunted or attacked.

Therefore, dragons were rare, and adult dragons were even rarer. Dragons that could grow to level 90 and above were incomparably rare.

Ai Yi was pleasantly surprised that You Lin was able to reach Level 99, and she felt a sense of appreciation for her talent.

After all, she was the true Queen of Dragons.

Thus, Ai Yi also made a decision.

"Since I'm by his side, there's basically nothing to do."

Since that's the case, I'll help him nurture this dragon well.

"Take it as you owe me a favor."

Ai Yi glanced at Shien and muttered.

Shien was completely unaware.

It was also because of this that he would reap a big surprise in the future.
