169: Mama's Boy

A Nether Grade Eighth Rotation demon! Underneath these Twilight Mountains, there was actually such a world-shocking great demon hidden, one who hadn't ventured out for eight hundred years.

How lazy must this fellow be?

"Master, this big worm is so terrifying!"

Little White, sensing the terrifying aura of the opponent, quickly hid behind Chu Jiang. He was only at Nether Grade Third Rotation, naturally no match for the Purple Lightning Dragon Python.

Just then.

Chu Jiang formed a hand seal, and the surrounding air began to condense, the temperature plummeting.

Rings of ice-blue light rapidly spread from his body, and the Extreme Cold Domain instantly unfolded.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python felt an unprecedented chill, transformed into a streak of purple lightning, and rapidly fled, returning the way it came.

As he ran, he lamented.

No wonder his mother didn't let him go to the outside world. Anyone casually encountered was so strong. He had been conceited after his Breakthrough a few years ago, even thinking of venturing outside.

Now it seemed, it was still too childish.

This time, he would run far away.

He would not leave his seclusion until he achieved a Breakthrough to True Demon.

...

However.

The expansion speed of the Domain was several times faster than the Purple Lightning Dragon Python's escape speed. After only a few breaths, he was caught by the Extreme Cold Domain.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python felt a bone-chilling cold Attack, and the purple lightning on his body was frozen into ice arcs. He tried to struggle, but the power of the Extreme Cold Domain was too strong.

Soon, he was completely frozen.

"Mom, I want to go home!" the Purple Lightning Dragon Python cried out mournfully.

No, this was his home.

He regretted not listening to his mother's words, but he only wanted to protect his food for the next few hundred years, and now his home was also stolen.

At this moment, the Purple Lightning Dragon Python's body rapidly shrunk, becoming only the size of a green snake, looking somewhat flustered.

"Big bug, is this your true form? Why were you so big just now, you scared me!" Little White patted his chest and slowly said, looking at the frozen Purple Lightning Dragon Python.

"Mom said that if I saw someone break in, I should make myself bigger to appear more majestic, which could scare some people away," the Purple Lightning Dragon Python honestly replied. His eyes looked blankly at Chu Jiang, this method his mother spoke of didn't work.

Was the method wrong?

Chu Jiang looked at the Purple Lightning Dragon Python. It seemed this guy was a blank slate, his only survival experience came from his mother.

That was right.

A homebody demon who hadn't left for eight hundred years.

What experience could he have?

"By the way, where's your mother?"

Chu Jiang asked cautiously. If the son was a Nether Grade Eighth Rotation, the mother demon would at least be a demon who had entered the True Demon stage.

If his mother was still here, he would immediately use the Black Gate to take Little White and run. He wasn't a fool.

When facing a Realm suppression.

When it was time to show off, he would show off grandly.

When encountering a strong enemy.

A swift retreat was the kingly way. He would return after his Realm improved.

"My mother left a year after giving birth to me, saying she was going to find treasures for my Bloodline evolution!"

"But it's already been eight hundred years, and she hasn't returned. I wonder how she's doing outside."

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python spoke to himself.

Now Chu Jiang was completely convinced that this Purple Lightning Dragon Python was an eight-hundred-year-old child with no schemes whatsoever.

Normally, he should tell the enemy, "My mother is right below," to deter them.

But he answered without hesitation.

There was only one explanation.

His mother hadn't had time to teach him?

"Why don't you go out? Eight hundred years, aren't you bored in here?" Little White was shocked. He had been trapped in Ghost Moon Cave for dozens to hundreds of years and was almost driven crazy.

Moreover, Ghost Moon Cave was a Small World, after all, but the space here was even smaller, with virtually no living creatures.

The endless solitude was enough to make him despair.

"Mom said the outside world is very dangerous and told me not to go out until she returns!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python said, everything his mother said was right, he had to listen to his mother and wait for her return.

"Can you not kill me? I don't want the purple lightning crystal anymore. At worst, I'll just sleep here for a few more centuries."

"My mother will definitely come looking for me!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python said with a trembling voice, looking at Chu Jiang with longing eyes.

Chu Jiang was expressionless, he formed a hand seal with one hand and swiftly struck towards the Purple Lightning Dragon Python.

"Alas, is there no escape from being killed?"

"Mom, I'm coming to see you!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python closed his eyes peacefully, beginning to recall his life, but there seemed to be nothing to recall.

He was either sleeping, or on his way to gnaw on purple lightning crystal, eating and then sleeping, waking up and then gnawing...

A continuous cycle.

Such a simple life.

His only regret was not waiting for his mother.

Soon.

The Extreme Cold Domain dissipated, and the Purple Lightning Dragon Python fell to the ground, bewildered.

Not dead?

"From now on, you'll follow me!" Chu Jiang slowly said.

This great demon, a Nether Grade Eighth Rotation, would be a pity to kill. Plus, he hadn't committed any evil, so he could be taken for his own use.

He just happened to have a plan, and if the plan went well, he wouldn't have to worry about Lifespan for a while.

"Big bug, I'll cover you from now on. Learn from me!"

Little White instructed the Purple Lightning Dragon Python. Now the Master's team had another fierce general?! He had to establish his status.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Master!" The Purple Lightning Dragon Python mimicked, his actions quite strange, and began to bow in worship.

"Good, very energetic!"

Little White nodded in satisfaction, "Repeat after me, Master is first!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python repeated: "Mom is first, Master is second!"

Little White: "Wrong, Master is first!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python said, seemingly understanding yet not: "I understand, Master is first... Mom is even higher!"

Little White, after hearing the first sentence, was about to praise him as a teachable child, but the second sentence made him crash.

Is that how you want to play?

Can't teach him, simply can't teach him.

"Alright, don't make it hard for him. Mom really is first!" Chu Jiang didn't dwell on this. His mother wasn't here, so was there a difference between second and first?

The most important thing was his Nether Grade Eighth Rotation strength. If he cooperated with Little White, the two of them could infiltrate the demon's ranks...

A Nether Grade Eighth Rotation peerless great demon, no one would refuse, right?

Infiltrating the demon's lair in Cloud State step by step, he could already see large swaths of demon life essence beckoning to him.

This was his plan, but it needed careful strategizing.

Lest the demons detect something amiss during the infiltration, wouldn't that be a complete failure?

Little White was an old hand, so there was no problem with him.

The key was this Purple Lightning Dragon Python.

"Thank you, Master!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python smiled, looking at Chu Jiang with some hesitation: "Master, are we leaving here? I'm afraid my mother won't be able to find me..."

Chu Jiang was silenced.

Always having 'mom' on his lips, he was indeed a genuine 'mommy's boy Dragon'.

However, for the smooth progress of his great endeavor to acquire demon life essence, these were minor details.

He cleared his throat and began to exercise his talent for painting grand visions, saying in a tempting tone:

"If your mother were coming to find you, she would have come long ago. I have quite a reputation in the outside world and will inquire about your mother's whereabouts for you!"

"Besides, if you leave with me, not only will you get free purple lightning crystal feasts, but you'll also get other lightning-attribute treasures to eat in the future, improving your strength even further. Wouldn't it be more convenient to find your mother then!"

Chu Jiang spoke vividly, as if those grand visions were right before their eyes.

A glimmer of light flashed in the Purple Lightning Dragon Python's naive eyes. That made sense, maybe his mother was waiting for him to find her.

And there was food! He had never eaten treasures other than purple lightning crystal and Spirit Stone. These were all planted by his mother before she left.

"Master, Long Teng will follow you. As long as I can find my mother, I'll do anything you want!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Python said seriously.

"Very good, saves me the trouble of naming you!" A smile flickered at the corner of Chu Jiang's mouth. Using his purple lightning crystal to do his bidding.

It was simply an empty-handed swindle.

However, Chu Jiang wasn't entirely painting grand visions. If he could find his mother, he certainly wouldn't deliberately refuse to help.

But he estimated that there was a ninety-eight percent chance his mother had fallen, otherwise, it was unlikely she hadn't returned for eight hundred years.

This was already approaching the limit of a Nether-level demon's Lifespan. No mother would be so cruel; she must have unfortunately died while fighting for a secret treasure for her son.

"Master, why is his name so majestic? I protest, I also want to change my name, to White Emperor!" Little White grumbled unhappily about the unfairness, it was simply against all reason.

"Protest denied!"

"You didn't say you had a name back then, you were just 'Little White,' and I got used to calling you that!" Chu Jiang waved his hand.

Little White: "..." (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ິ)

However, before Little White could get sad, Chu Jiang's words came again.

"Oh, and Long Teng's future meals will be your responsibility!"

Little White (´ﾟωﾟ)?

"Huh?"
