Even if she was unconscious, she was still alive. The human Princess had yet to become a sacrificial offering for the ancient Dragon’s magic.

Gu Yan’s body was imprisoned by the Black Dragon’s tail until he was unable to move, so he simply decided to give up and allow its head to rub him all over. Pondering over this matter, he recalled the raid leader’s name from earlier and decided to send a message over.

[Private Message][Sen Luo]: “This matter is related to my quest and being kidnapped by the Black Dragon was also part of it. The Princess will return safely, there’s no need to worry.”

The notification’s alert rang at the side and the commander of the raid team who was currently leading his party to break through the protective barrier abruptly told them to stop.

There was finally a valid reason as to why the Black Dragon had specifically carried away a single person. Moreover, the name of this magician made his words extremely credible.

As a solo player, the Magician had always been very low-key which was why many players had only heard but not seen this player.

Receiving such a secretive mission with great rewards, one would naturally keep it to themselves. They could not blame the other person for not speaking out earlier.

After sending out the message, Gu Yan raised his hand to stroke the Black Dragon’s lowered head. This way, non-related players would no longer rush to become Dragon Warriors. But his mission...

His task was to obtain the Black Dragon’s heart, the source of life and strength of a Dragon. If his lover continued to possess the Black Dragon’s body, he would naturally be unable to make a move.

When Gu Yan was staring at the quest panel, there were two other pairs of eyes that were staring right alongside him;the Black Dragon’s scarlet pupils, as well as the golden-pupils of the kitten licking his face.

“Ah Yan can also choose another method to acquire the ‘Primal Chaos Key’.”

Easily understanding the youth’s way of thought, a deep and hoarse voice stuck itself close to his ear.

“Ah Yan can bring me along and threaten them by using me as a hostage, so that they’d hand it over,” the voice suggested. It was a very simple, but rough and cruel, method and the black-coloured dragon got up in response.

The enormous form of the black dragon no longer remained in a quiet and prone state, but it still lowered its head to watch the human youth below.

Giving out such a suggestion to his lover, Gu Yan was silent for a moment, before realising that his heart had actually acknowledged such a thing.

‘Wallowing in the mire with evil’; Without reason, Gu Yan suddenly thought of this saying. Also, if he wanted to bring the other over, how was he going to do it…?

Reminded of this problem, Gu Yan didn’t resist the pull of his gaze towards the back of the dragon. Would his family’s Qiuqiu be willing to let him ride on its back?

Not being able to experience the class of Dragon Riders that’re part of ‘Western fantasies’, Gu Yan wasn’t regretful about it previously. After all, with the high pride of dragons and their arrogance over humans, they would never allow a lower being such as them to ride on their backs. But if it was his family’s Qiuqiu...

The human’s black eyes brightened and his gaze fixed onto its body, or better yet, onto its back. In its memories, the youth had once said the words ‘Dragon Rider’. Adding up all these together created an easily solved idea. Thus, the dragon once again lowered its body towards the youth.

“Qiuqiu?” Gu Yan raised his hands to pet the neck of the Black Dragon. His lover behaving like this seemingly meant it also had this idea.

Hearing the call, the Dragon that had a deferring attitude by lowering its huge form made a deep sound from its throat. Throughout the process from when the youth from the lowly human race climbed onto its neck until the end where he sat on its back, the Black Dragon had been incredibly patient.

Although it was one from the haughty and noble Dragon race, the Black Dragon did not mind letting this human, which it regarded as its greatest treasure, ride atop its body. Once this was all over, it would not mind letting the human youth on its back ride it in another position as well...

The moment Gu Yan climbed atop its back, he heard the sound of his quest being refreshed. The quest on his quest panel had changed, and it no longer required him to obtain the Black Dragon’s heart. Instead, it was for him to threaten and extort the Primal Chaos Key from the Dragon Race.

Once this quest was completed, the Primal Chaos Key would naturally become his reward.

To threaten the dragon race, a race with destructive power that was off the charts, it was simply a daring and suicidal move. If he did not guess wrongly, once he completed this quest, his reputation among the Dragon race would no doubt fall into the ‘hatred’ zone.

This was of little concern compared to domestic abuse. Gu Yan would rather sacrifice his reputation in order to complete this quest.

“Going now?” Feeling the Black Dragon under him move, Gu Yan wrapped his arms around its neck.

Although people would call it riding on top of the Black Dragon’s back, with the difference in size between humans and dragons, it was impossible for humans to truly ‘ride’ atop of them.

At best, it was more of hanging on to the dragon’s back than riding. Be it standing or sitting, or even lying on the dragon’s back, the first and foremost criteria was for a Dragon to willingly allow one to get on.

“Meow.” The pointy-eared kitten sprawled across the youth’s shoulders mewed softly in response when it heard the question.

It was better to end this battle quickly. Once they were done with this matter, it would come back to this cave and get rid of the excessive things currently in here. Then, it would renovate this floating isle into a newer and nicer place for hiding its precious treasure.

Speaking of the excessive goods in its cave, the Black Dragon’s scarlet pupils narrowed towards the unconscious woman lying in the corner of the cave.

Kidnapping the Princess had been the plot’s settings. It was definitely not because it had any feelings for the Princess or whatever, like the youth thought.

The processes governing its affection were entirely stimulated by the youth on its back, and this emotion will only ever be for one person.

It was impossible to like someone else.

The Black Dragon raised its enormous wings. The Dragon Race’s wings were like their claws and tail, a natural destructive force. Waiting on top of the Black Dragon’s back, Gu Yan felt the air around him change the moment the Black Dragon’s wings moved.

The airflow around him had stirred rapidly, but the Black Dragon did not let the rapid air around it affect the youth on its back.

It used its ancient Dragon magic to caste a protective spell around the youth which allowed him to remain steady on its back and prevented him from slipping off. At the same time, this protective barrier could also ward off external threats like various physical attacks.

How does it feel to be a Dragon Rider? If someone were to ask Gu Yan this right now, he would immediately answer with one word, “Amazing.”

No wonder it was called the coolest job in this virtual world, there was nothing that could beat this experience.

After leaving the cave, the scenery before them grew wider and broader as they flew higher and higher. Gu Yan could be said to be overlooking this piece of land.

At present, the height reached by the Black Dragon was something that no flying mount could ever achieve. The floating isle which he had previously needed to raise his head to look up to was now beneath him, including the biggest isle that belonged to the ruler of the Dragon Valley.

The Dragon Race’s flying speed was much faster than any other flying mounts in the game. From the cave to their destination, they only took a couple of minutes.

The enormous floating isle was occupied with countless Dragon guards but none of them had detected the position of the Black Dragon who was much more powerful than them.

Especially in the face of absolute power, they were unable to detect the Black Dragon’s stealth magic. In the end, the could only continue in their stipulated path, completely oblivious to the approaching danger.

To go and threaten the entire Dragon race especially with only the two of them, in such a situation, it could be called something out of One Thousand and One Nights[1].

But he was now half-hugging the neck of a Black Dragon and the one controlling it was fortunately, this world’s light brain. Just this fact was enough. Gu Yan continued to hold onto the Black Dragon’s neck, agreeing with the other’s next step.

Dragons were a symbol of strength and wanting to threaten such a race, there was nothing more appropriate than using strength to directly pressure them.

As a wise man said, directly go to war.

Under the noses of the oblivious patrolling guards, the Black Dragon on the floating isle took a deep breath.

A few seconds later, a long stream of destructive breath followed. Apart from the patrolling Dragons, this isle, which was located in the heart of the Dragon Valley, had no other protective mechanisms. Thus, it was easily consumed in a sea of flames.

The center most isle was precisely where the palace was located. The Black Dragon’s Breath was a dark and corrosive magic, unlike normal Dragons. Any lifeform burnt by this destructive flame could also become corrupted by the dark energy.

The protective barrier made from the Dragon’s magic was no match in defending them against the Black Dragon’s corrosive flames. No matter how powerful their magic had been, when facing against the Black Dragon’s breath, they were easily overwhelmed.

The human-formed dragon who was originally in the palace instantly shifted back into its dragon form. With the greatest sacred Dragon taking the lead, the other dragons quickly flew towards the isle, battle-ready and with full attention on the Black Dragon’s current position.

Everything had yet to begin yet, at this critical juncture, these dragons who had just reverted back to their original forms began to notice something that made them doubt their own eyes.

On this corrupted degenerate beast's back, sat a weak and frail human youth. Furthermore, he was half-hugging this strange beast’s neck.
