Chapter 79 Wash My Face for Me
The house was stolen by the Squid Lady, which was a bit of a problem, but not a big one.
The Squid Lady wouldn't eat his dog or Turtle. As a Deep Sea Monarch of the same region with equal strength, Deep Sea Monarchs wouldn't actively devour the "food" from another Monarch's territory.
Unless a Deep Sea Monarch was not very strong, the clan members within its territory could be subject to tentative devouring by other Deep Sea Monarchs.
Besides that, there was another thing, understanding the need to communicate.
There were three Deep Sea Monarchs around Black Dragon Island. After claiming that area as his own territory, Lance proactively communicated with the three neighboring Deep Sea Monarchs.
Before communicating, it was essential to test if the other party was worthy of dialogue with him. Without the qualification for equal conversation, they were just food.
He loved life and hated fighting and killing.
Once his strength was acknowledged by the three Deep Sea Monarchs around Black Dragon Island, he would visit the three neighboring Monarchs for a chat when he was bored. After many visits, a sense of friendship somewhat developed. Not to mention, he would bring some specialties from the island when he went to chat with them.
Of course, when he came back, he would tell them to return the favor.
The thinking of Deep Sea Monarchs was quite simple, with only two concepts in their minds.
Eat.
Be eaten.
As for making friends or returning favors,
These concepts were absent in their minds.
Every time he left, he would remind them that they needed to return the favor.
When they didn't know how to return the favor, he would take some cheap trinkets from their territories.
Under his guidance, the Squid Lady learned how to return a favor.
Each time she was quite generous, giving him a tentacle.
With his earnest teachings, the three neighboring Deep Sea Monarchs gradually understood what friends and allies were.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
So when they entered his territory, they wouldn't harm his "Clan Members."
"Why aren't you staying in the Black Sea and instead coming to the island where I reside?"
"I want to ask when you'll take me to play in the Human World. Also, also... the ink on my face... it won't wash off... I want you to help me clean it off."
The Squid Lady was somewhat troubled, as the ink she sprayed on her own face wouldn't wash off. She tried to use the suckers on her tentacles to suck it off... but even deforming her face didn't help remove the ink.
Then she thought of Black Dragon. Besides eating, Black Dragon knew a lot and perhaps could help wash the ink off her face.
When she arrived at Black Dragon's territory, Black Dragon wasn't home, just a little dog and a little turtle.
Upon seeing her, the little dog curled up its tail and ran over to a small stone, pushed on it, and then... the cute and tender human form of Lance appeared in the light and shadow above.
The little dog said that the small human figure was Black Dragon.
It was strange, why did Black Dragon become so white and tender when he turned into a human figure?
Wants to lick it, stuff it in the mouth to taste it...
"If you want to talk, just talk, don't look at me and swallow saliva."
The seemingly dumb yet fierce Squid Lady must have imagined him as a slice of fragrant, sweet, delicious cake.
It greatly affected his mood for enjoying good food.
"I don't want to be like this either, but you look so tasty... that said... Black Dragon... the place you're in now... is it the legendary Human World?"
The Squid Lady's eyes shone in the projection. Was Black Dragon reluctant to take her to the Human World, fearing she would compete with him for the legendary humans?
She wasn't that gluttonous; she just wanted to taste... If not possible, then perhaps finding a cute little human like Lance... even a lick would suffice.
Black Dragon was really stingy...
Look at her, giving her leg away as a gift without a second thought, not stingy at all.
"Yes, I brought a Young Dragon here to experience the bustle of the Human World."
"Then let the Young Dragon eat fewer people and leave some cute little humans for me."

"......"
"I'll see if I can wash off the ink on your face when I get back, and if there's nothing else, I'll have my dog close the projection."
"There is something else, there is! When are you coming back? Can you take me with you when you return to the Human World? I really want to see the Human World you talk about. Didn't you say we are friends?
You also said that friends should fulfill some of each other's requests and needs. I consider you a friend and give you my legs to eat. If you consider me a friend, then take me to play in the Human World. If you don't take me to play in the Human World, then you are not treating me as a friend...
If you don't treat me as a friend, I won't give you my legs to eat in the future, and I will harass, scare, and steal from your clan members in your territorial waters every day."
Lance frowned, lifting the wine glass to sip some red wine.
"The Human World is not as fun as the deep sea, trust me."
"Did you just drink blood?"
"I said... can you not talk about things that ruin my appetite? This is red wine, a drink from the Human World."
"I want to drink it. When you come back, bring me some, and I'll trade you my legs for it."
"...."
Lance sighed.
Is the impression he left with the squid lady that of a Black Dragon who likes to eat her legs?
To try the squid lady's legs was one thing, he wasn't so cruel as to keep asking her to chop off her legs for him to eat.
With a light wave of his right hand towards the levitating Black Dragon Statue, the projection focused on the street opposite the coffee shop.
The one-way transparent glass allowed the squid lady in the projection to see through the glass the humans on the opposite street who were hanging out, laughing, buying drinks, desserts, and snacks.
She could probably also see the young dragon who was too busy to even take a sip of fresh juice.
As for Joanna, Louis, Dalton, and Bazel, these little ones, in the squid lady's mind, they fell into the category of "tasty."
"Do the people and scenery in this corner of the Human World pale in comparison to the colorful underwater worlds of the deep sea? Now that you've seen the Human World I speak of, do you still want to come here to play?"
The scenery at the bottom of the deep sea was no less stunning than the dazzling human cities; it was even more breathtaking.
Unfortunately, not every creature has the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the seabed in the deep sea.
Even the king of the Mermaid Kingdom might not be able to see the beauty belonging to the deep sea.
The deep sea belongs to all sorts of terrifying sea monsters.
The shallows belong to the Mermaid Kingdom.
Monsters of the Deep Sea Monarch rank can freely enter and leave the shallows.
But the creatures of the shallows dare not leave the shallows to venture into the deep sea.
So the beauty of the deep sea... can only be seen by certain deep sea creatures.
One day I'll take the young dragon to appreciate the scenery at the bottom of the deep sea.
I'll broaden her horizons so she won't be so fixated on the Human World.
There is beauty in places other than the Human World, in some places even more stunning and amazing than what the Human World has to offer.
Some places are so beautiful that they instinctively relax the minds of all sentient beings, letting them cast aside worries, think of nothing, and just sit there idly all day long.
I'll fulfill the young dragon's desire to play in the Human World, and then take her to those places that only exist in human fantasies.
"So many adorable little ones! Black Dragon, hurry back. I want to go to the Human World to play, and I want to put all those adorable little ones on the suckers of my tentacles..."
"If you really play that way, you'd be on a barbecue spit in the Human World before the day is out."
"Then how should I play?"
"Play like my young dragon does, sell things, make money."
"What should I sell? My legs?"
"....."
