CFSMS -Chapter 76 This Bite—Is the Dragon’s Entire Life

“The one inside contacted me. That dragon… he has a way to convince them to keep him in the secret realm. He only requires one condition.”

“He also said that, barring accidents, that dragon’s condition is the same as his.”

Old Man Li said calmly.

When mentioning that respected “Venerable One,” there was still not much reverence in his tone.

He looked toward the place where the secret realm entrance once stood, his gaze as deep as an abyss.

“What condition? As long as it can be done, I won’t refuse,” the city lord said firmly.

“You can’t do it.”

“The only one who can is…”

The rest of Old Man Li’s words were muffled and unclear. Even the city lord couldn’t hear them properly.

But from Old Man Li’s expression, the city lord understood—this matter was basically settled.

So his heart also settled.

That was a calamity dragon.

A Sinister Dragon that signified disaster the moment it appeared.

Even though its power was now greatly reduced, dealing with it completely would still require significant sacrifices.

Erasing its existence from history books—wasn’t that itself proof of fear?

If it could be resolved effortlessly, he would raise both hands and feet in agreement.

…

The well-fed and satisfied Sinister Dragon seemed to have truly given up and was waiting for death, showing no intention of causing trouble.

He stayed beside Lu Wu.

His attitude was very clear.

He could die—but only in the hands of this human woman.

Woman… the dragon is willing to offer his life to you, only asking that you remember him forever.

The Sinister Dragon’s gaze was deeply affectionate.

A domineering “dragon-in-love-with-death” scene unfolded, while Lu Wu remained completely unmoved.

She slept peacefully, leaving Qin Zhan and the others sleepless for another night.

A calm night.

Because of the Sinister Dragon’s presence, all surrounding beasts had retreated completely.

For ten thousand years, they had suffered greatly from the ancestor’s occasional “dragon roar tantrums.”

The fire toxins in their bodies were merely byproducts of its breathing.

On the final day of selling snacks, Lu Wu was fully focused.

Perhaps because it was the last day in the secret realm, everyone wanted to make one final push.

Normally, customers who came for ice jelly would stay and chat about their experiences, but today they came quickly and left just as quickly.

Time flies like those fleeting years…

A song floated through Lu Wu’s mind.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts and focused on providing the best service possible.

The Flamebird clan was still being used as delivery workers. The dragon also wanted to help— but his presence was too intimidating, so Lu Wu didn’t dare assign him tasks. In the end, he only managed to get a free bowl of ice jelly.

The same went for Huo Huo, who kept a close eye on the Sinister Dragon in case it suddenly resisted.

The slippery ice jelly slid down the dragon’s throat, filling his stomach until it bulged.

He coiled on the stall, staring at his swollen belly with a resentful gaze toward Lu Wu.

Human woman, the dragon’s stomach has been swollen because of you.

But the dragon is not the kind to scam others—he doesn’t need you to take responsibility.

Perhaps from spending too much time with beasts, Lu Wu had become increasingly able to understand their “brainwaves.”

She almost wished she were deaf and blind.

She was a woman. She couldn’t get anyone pregnant—let alone a male dragon.

The sun slowly moved across the sky.

When business hours ended, the stall was cleared.

Only tools remained; all ingredients were completely used up.

Even the ice bowls were taken away by customers as “souvenirs.”

Lu Wu packed up and counted her earnings.

Seven days—she had made a fortune.

Her storage bag was full.

She transferred the more valuable items into her inner world storage.

“Chirp!”

A wind eagle rubbed its head against Lu Wu, reluctantly watching her dismount.

At this point, they had already reached the exit of the secret realm.

In about an incense stick of time, the exit would open.

Many cultivators had gathered there. They greeted Lu Wu warmly, but did not crowd around her.

They were customers. Supporting Lu Wu’s business while she was selling was enough.

Outside of that, they did not intrude.

After all, one should not force oneself into circles one doesn’t belong to.

Not when she was surrounded by so many beasts.

Lu Wu was now bidding farewell to the beasts who had become her customers.

The beasts understood there was another world outside—but they also knew that humans outside would not easily let them leave.

Saying goodbye to Lu Wu… no one knew when they would meet again.

Thinking of this, many beasts felt like crying.

Even the Sinister Dragon.

He coiled around Lu Wu’s neck like a black collar.

The dragon was crying too.

And for once, he was no longer seeking death.

“Woman… just leave me here…”

He had made a decision after being “persuaded” by the old man the day before.

If he stayed in the secret realm, humans outside would not attack him—and would even offer tributes.

He didn’t care about dying.

But those people said the tributes would be Lu Wu’s personally made food.

That struck right into his heart.

So the dragon chose to surrender.

If possible, he wanted to keep the human woman in the secret realm instead.

With him here, she would become the most honored little princess of this realm.

And he would become her most loyal dragon knight.

Lu Wu, who had no interest in being a princess, gently patted the dragon.

“I’ll try to come see you when I can.”

As for when that “chance” would be—she left it to fate.

At this moment, she looked exactly like someone making promises she might never keep.

But the dragon willingly accepted being “tricked.”

He looked deeply at her, then opened his mouth and bit her wrist.

It was deep—but not very painful.

After a brief sting, he released her, leaving a small dragon-shaped mark on her wrist.

“Roar!”

Woman, carry the dragon’s mark and aura.

No matter where you go, I will find you.

This bite—is the dragon’s entire life.

The ground shook, interrupting his dramatic farewell.

Lu Wu rubbed her sleeve over the mark—but it wouldn’t come off. She could only accept it nervously.

“Chirp chirp!”

Huo Huo stood on her shoulder.

Don’t be afraid. If that evil dragon comes, I’ll burn him to ashes.

Feeling somewhat comforted, Lu Wu gently patted the little bird she had “kidnapped” into her life.

She smiled faintly.

This secret realm journey had shown her unparalleled wonders—and given her precious companions.

As for being targeted by a dragon… she had already come to terms with it.

These were just small storms on her path to greatness.

Under everyone’s gaze, the exit vortex opened again.

Outside, fully prepared cultivators could be seen.

“Let’s go—time to head back!”

Lu Wu said cheerfully.

After her final farewell to the Sinister Dragon and the beasts, she stepped into the passage.

She did not look back.

Only her departing figure remained, etched into the memory of all beasts.

The appointed time had come.

I, Lu Wu…

The Dragon King, returns.
