Volume 6 Chapter 156
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 156: The Dragon Envoy’s Interrogation
Ella’s heart-shaped tail was firmly grasped by the Dragon Envoy, and her legs went weak, nearly sending her to her knees.
She was merely a frail succubus, before the power of a dragon, she was utterly helpless, unable to resist in the slightest.
“How is this possible? Why didn’t you fall asleep?!”
She was completely baffled. At such close range, her ambush had clearly succeeded, her target had been defenseless. Under normal circumstances, she should have been sprawled out like that grey kitten, fast asleep.
But why did this silver dragon not only show no effect but also manage to grab her tail?
“You ask why?” the Dragon Envoy replied. “I think you know full well why your dream entry has no effect on me.”
“Could it be…”
Ella pondered.
As the disciple of the legendary grand succubus Vear, her abilities were formidable, her nightmare powers were absolutely top-tier. Whoever she wanted to put to sleep would fall asleep.
But there was one exception.
If the disparity in strength between her and her target was simply too vast, her abilities might not work.
Just like when she had faced the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu, she had tried to drag her into the dream world, but ended up being thrashed instead.
If the silver dragon before her was also an overwhelming powerhouse, even if she did fall asleep, she could snap out of it in an instant.
Damn.
At that thought, Ella’s face turned pale.
The silver dragon before her was immensely powerful, far, far beyond her. She had kicked a steel plate once again!!
“Sorry about that, Miss Succubus, my strength is just a tiny bit greater than yours.”
The Dragon Envoy raised her hand and made a tiny gesture between her thumb and forefinger.
“…”
Ella broke out in a cold sweat.
What should she do?
What was she supposed to do now?
Screaming for help here seemed pointless.
Even if someone did come to rescue her, such an act would only anger her captor. If this silver dragon did something extreme, Ella would have far more to lose.
“Miss Succubus, you seem to know Xia Yi, don’t you?” the Dragon Envoy asked.
“I, I…”
“Hmm?”
The Dragon Envoy gave Ella’s tail a hard yank, applying some pressure.
“Ah-ee-ya-ya-ya, “
Ella felt like her tail was about to snap. Unpleasant memories surged back, the last time in the dream world, Xia Lulu had treated her exactly the same way.
Why did all silver dragons have to be so cruel!!
“Stop pulling, stop pulling, my tail will really break!”
Tears welling in her eyes, Ella begged in a sobbing voice.
“Spare me, I’ll tell you everything!”
“What was that about Xia Yi’s orientation being lesbian?”
“Xia Yi, she’s always messing around with all kinds of girls! The vampire princess, the elf princess, the fox princess, they’re all her type. She’s got those girls completely smitten, and she thoroughly enjoys the hunt, reveling in it. She doesn’t even spare me, she loves bullying me, doing… unspeakable things to me!!”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Upon hearing Ella’s account, the corners of the Dragon Envoy’s mouth curled up.
“Xia Yi truly is a formidable younger generation.”
“Fine, I’ve said it all. Now can you let me go…”
“No. Tell me everything you know, every detail from the very first time you met Xia Yi up to now.”
“B-but…”
Ella was extremely reluctant.
She had fallen into Xia Yi’s hands time and again, those humiliating defeats were the shame of her succubus career, and she would never want to share them with anyone.
“Hmm? You don’t want to talk, do you?” The Dragon Envoy’s voice turned cold, and she tightened her grip once more.
“Waaah, stop pulling, please stop pulling!!”
Under the pressure, Ella trembled all over and wailed in misery, she dared not resist in the slightest.
She was utterly cursed.
From now on, she would never provoke another silver dragon again. She’d cross the street at the sight of one.
“I surrender, I surrender! My encounter with Xia Yi all started at the Elven King’s banquet…”
Miss Succubus raised the white flag and poured out every little detail of her interactions with Xia Yi, as well as everything she had learned from her own perspective, to the Dragon Envoy.
…
“…And that’s how it went. Xia Yi force-fed me all that cream, and I still haven’t recovered this morning.”
Ella sighed, lying on the ground. She had lost track of how long she had been talking, her throat was parched.
“Who knew I’d run into you while trying to clear my head on the streets.”
“…” The Dragon Envoy gave no reaction whatsoever, standing perfectly still.
“I’ve told you everything. Are you satisfied now?”
“…”
“Is there something you’re not happy with? I’ve told nothing but the truth.”
“…Ah?”
The Dragon Envoy suddenly stirred. She lowered her head, looked at Ella through her mask, and laughed.
“Sorry, I dozed off halfway.”
“You, you fell asleep?”
Ella felt utterly wronged. She had swallowed her pride and narrated with vivid detail, sparing nothing, and her listener had fallen asleep?
Miss Succubus’s composure completely shattered!
“So I just wasted all my effort!”
“Not entirely, I did listen for a while. A general idea was enough,” the Dragon Envoy remarked. “Xia Yi is indeed an interesting descendant.”
“So you’ll finally let me go…”
“Let you go? Miss Succubus, I never said I’d let you go.”
“What!?” Ella’s eyes widened.
“I’d rather you didn’t tell Xia Yi about me directly.”
“As long as you let me go, I promise I won’t say a word.”
“Succubuses are notoriously cunning, I won’t be fooled. Even if you don’t speak, there are a thousand ways you could pass the information to Xia Yi.”
The Dragon Envoy raised her hand, employing Chant Restraint, and cast a spell at Ella.
“Miss Succubus, please disappear for a while.”
“No, don’t…”
With a final cry of despair, Ella’s voice faded into nothing.
The Dragon Envoy walked out of the alley, turned her gaze northward, and murmured to herself: “…Time to go.”
…
…
Beneath the World Tree that towered into the clouds, the dark-haired elf slowly opened her jet-black eyes.
Eve stood up, extended her pale palm, and touched the World Tree. At the same time, she raised her head and looked upward.
Through the mist and clouds, she glimpsed the faint silhouette of a colossal beast, an eagle-bodied giant with wings that could blot out the sky.
“The day of the world’s destruction is at hand.”
