Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

42 Su Wan Is Jealous

Skeleton Soldiers and the Undead troops were supposed to be cannon fodders. They were supposed to do menial work. But they only obeyed Xu Yuan’s command.

Seeing that the resources of the territory were rising, Su Wan’s displeasure disappeared. It was true that she was peeved because Xu Yuan had wasted resources to make useless Skeleton Soldiers. However, if the Skeleton Soldiers were sent to work for 24 hours a day, they could get back the resources they had spent.

“Alright. I admit that you aren’t all that bad.” Su Wan’s view about him changed a little.

However, her blood pressure rose yet again. “Fraud Xu, what do you mean by this?”

Under Su Wan’s gaze, the Skeleton Soldiers transported the resources back to the cave but they did not store them. They squandered them again.

One by one, the Skeleton Soldiers chiseled the stones that were transported back to the cave and built a cemetery in the territory.

Su Wan was stumped. She was infuriated. What use did she have for a bunch of Ghouls? What they lacked weren’t cannon fodders like Skeleton Soldiers and Ghouls.

She needed to gather resources so she could construct the Black Gold Behemoth, her ultimate weapon. Even if she couldn’t achieve that, she wanted to create, at the least, a few Golden Behemoths!

But why was Xu Yuan constructing cemeteries?

In the face of Su Wan’s anger, Xu Yuan, once again, appeared sheepish. His sheepish face made her even more enraged.

…

Su Wan quickly assessed the resources in her domain as a series of notifications arrived.

As anticipated, the need to construct these pointless constructions completely wasted the resources the Skeleton Soldiers had gathered throughout the night.

“You scammer! You tricked me again!” Su Wan stomped her feet. She had wanted to save resources to create a Black Gold Behemoth instead.

“Don’t waste any more resources!” She pointed a trembling finger at Xu Yuan.

At this point, she was no longer impressed by Xu Yuan.

He nodded. “Alright. If you don’t want it, you can just say so. Do you have to be so angry?”

When he said this, Su Wan became even more infuriated.

Seeing that Su Wan was about to explode in rage, Xu Yuan flapped his wings and flew out of the cave.

The buildings reached the standard number required but the population was still not adequate.

‘We need more resources to create more Skeleton Soldiers!’ Xu Yuan had already planned everything.

He would use the resources amassed by the Skeleton Soldiers to create even more Skeleton Soldiers in order to meet the requirements for the Territory Core to be upgraded.

He felt that Su Wan’s wish to amass the resources to make Black Gold Behemoths was just overthinking on her part.

Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to sleep and acquire experience now that his level was stalled. He went out for a spin and came back, thinking Su Wan’s rage might have subsided.

Although he didn’t understand why she got angry so fast, it was true that her anger was always temporary. When he returned to the cave, Su Wan looked panicked.

When she saw him come back. Her mood stabilized.

Although Su Wan had never seen Xu Yuan show any remarkable ability, she always felt an unspeakable sense of security when he was around.

“Xu Yuan! Bad news! Shi Linglong is in trouble again!”

‘Shi Linglong?’ Xu Yuan remembered the small girl with two ponytails. Her territory had been attacked by barbarians twice and Su Wan had taken him along to help her out.

At that time, Xu Yuan had found her friend very troublesome.

“It’s different this time!” said Su Wan, gasping for breath. “Last time, she was attacked by native creatures in the Overlord Plane, but this time it’s another Overlord attacking her.”

Su Wan had thought that the scariest thing to encounter were the creatures in the Overlord Plane but she realized that the most terrifying thing were the humans, specifically, other lords.

“Oh?” Xu Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Previously, he had wanted to collect Territory Cores to perfect his new ability Chaos Realm, but he could only collect some in the Inter-Campus Tournament. There was still time for the tournament. Xu Yuan thought that maybe he could attack some Overlords in this Overlord Plane to experiment a bit.

Shi Linglong, this troublemaker, had given Xu Yuan an opportunity to collect Territory Core again!

Su Wan didn’t notice Xu Yuan’s gleaming face. She thought that he was probably the same as before, uninterested in everything. Su Wan planned to convince him to come along with her again. However, when she turned around to start her explanation, she saw that Xu Yuan was full of anticipation.

“Wait. Why are you so eager to help Linglong?” she asked. “Whenever I try to wake you up, you never listen!”

Su Wan felt conflicted. Jealous sprouted in her heart.

Usually, when she brought him along with her, he would be asleep and wouldn’t wake even if she yelled at him. But when Shi Linglong was in trouble, he was so spirited.

‘What is the meaning of this? Who was Xu Yuan’s actual Lord?’ she seethed. Could she not compare to Shi Linglong?

Su Wan’s fist clenched tightly, feeling wronged.

Xu Yuan realized that Su Wan’s mood wasn’t good. He was always too lazy to explain things but this time he made an effort.

“Are you an idiot? The Territory Core! If an Overlord attacks Shi Linglong, that would give us a fair reason to fight back and destroy the Lord’s Territory Core!”

Su Wan finally remembered. “Oh right! Your ability!” She recalled his ability: Chaos Realm.

This ability seemed like a trump card in the late game, but it required the collection of Elemental Hearts, which were the Territory Cores!

Su Wan was a bit embarrassed to have misunderstood Xu Yuan. She looked at him, feeling ashamed.

However, as the Lord, she still had to make up with Xu Yuan. It was not good to have differences with each other.

Su Wan cleared her throat to get his attention. “Ahem… Xu Yuan, let’s hurry and leave.”

Su Wan rushed to Shi Linglong’s territory hoping Xu Yuan would follow. On the surface, she was worried about her friend’s safety. She was also too embarrassed to face Xu Yuan.

…

Not long after Su Wan left the cave, she met Shi Linglong who was running toward her territory.

“Linglong, are you alright?” Su Wan was nervous.

Shi Linglong panted. When she saw Su Wan, she relaxed a bit.

“Wanwan, I finally got to see you! They have been chasing me all this time!”
