Capítulo 34: Duped by them

Meng Zhang was her contracted beast but was not truly aware of her secrets. There were too many things happening around them after their meeting that she didn't have time to tell him about the magical space she had with her.

"What is it?" The azure dragon was curious as he hopefully gazed at her.

"I will show you now. Close your eyes, first."

Meng Zhang immediately complied and closed his eyes to see what she meant. After that, Long Lei held his hand and brought him inside her space that she had inherited from Senior Xuan. Although she was not there anymore to guide her and look after this place, she had given full authority to Long Lei as the new heir of the primordial space.

"Tada! Open your eyes now."

The azure dragon immediately opened his eyes on her command and was completely speechless to see the change in his surroundings after closing his eyes. It could be possible that he had entered a new space completely devoid of the world.

"Is this your space? Great! I could not believe that you have something like this. It is truly great." His eyes shined with delight as he looked at her.

Meng Zhang was completely pleased with himself as he had big the treasure mine compared to any other average geniuses.

"Ah! My life is set as long as I am in your care."

Long Lei pretended to be annoyed with him but she was quite pleased inside. The azure dragon was flattering her albeit unknowingly but he was still doing it. "Okay, okay! No need to say it anymore."

This was a big cave with three rooms and a big hall. It was the outer space she had integrated into her necklace. After the combination, the ring has transformed into a necklace that she was wearing around her neck all the time. It was simple and didn't attract much attention from anyone outside.

"This place is really good. Can I choose the room for myself?" He asked her excited.

The space attribute on this continent was very rare to find in human cultivators. If it was five hundred years ago then it would be normal for many people to have this kind of magical space with them but with the rarity of the spatial attribute in the present world, this place was too expensive and luxurious even for an old dragon like him.

"Look at you – a country bumpkin. Who would believe that you are a mighty dragon? I did not expect such behavior from your self. You disappointed me."

Long Lei snickered as she saw the drool on his face with just the look of the cave. She could not imagine his reaction after seeing the true space left by Senior Xuan. This was just a cover to hide the magical place she got after coming into this world. Heaven was not too harsh on her to give her this gift.

She took him inside the inner region that was separated by her mind barrier. The azure dragon was surprised at first but soon learn the meaning of extravagance and comfort. The new place that he was present in was extremely beautiful, rich in spiritual energy, good for cultivation, pleasing to the eyes and have a nice relaxing feeling.

"Is this is a Paradise? So beautiful! I never knew something like this existed. I am lucky to be here."

Long Lei was extremely pleased as she had acquired this after the integration of the cave and the magical ring.

So she considered it half of her effort too. "It is not Paradise but something more amazing than that, We will live here." She told him as she picked a spirit fruit from the surrounding and asked him to look around the palace and if he wanted he could even soak in yin-yang lake. "After that, tell me something useful that we could use for our gain"

The old dragon completely agreed to whatever she asked and quickly went to see the book and cranny of this place. He didn't want to leave this chance to enjoy this place. "Okay. Thank you, mistress. This place is good for me as well as you. We should stay here more to make you more powerful." He suggested.

"I know! I know but we can't use this as a common commodity otherwise it will be discovered by others." Long Lei told him the problem.

This world has a scarcity of even space rings that could be bigger than a house. Her primordial space was like the most attracting thing out there if put aside in open. She has to be careful. From her experience of a modern woman and a reader of these kinds of books, this kind of treasure attracts people – good and bad both.

This time she brought that dragon inside the primordial space because she wanted to show him her treasures. She was showing him her trust. She knew it might be foolish to believe someone this soon but for a relationship to work in the right direction both sides have to take risks.

"Now you know that I am so powerful. You better not try to betray me otherwise...hehehe." Long Lei pretended to be dangerous like those protagonists although her heart was beating fast she was still trying to do the bluffing strongly. It would not be good if this dragon saw the fear inside her body. "Go! Enjoy. I am a good host. I will never mistreat you." She gave him an assuring smile.

It would not be good for her to anger the old dragon who is considered one of the powerful organisms and the golden thigh of this kind of world. Mistreating them and abusing them was simply bringing trouble to oneself. She was not that stupid to do something like that and anger her source of protection. The brave and intelligent girl I was just a facade to cover her fear and cowardice.

"Thanks, Lei'er! You are the best." With that said, he was gone happily in the direction of the palace.

Long Lei wiped the cold sweats from the back of her neck as she waved at the dragon. She looked around and scowled. "What a troublesome place!!!"

Despite this place being a good gift for her and her appreciation for this gesture of senior Xuan, she still didn't like it that bad.

This place was super OP and could only belong to the protagonist. It was a time bomb for her continuously ticking and maintaining the fear in her heart. Sometimes Long Lei was happy and sometimes she felt it was unfair to hoggle everything for herself when she was not even going to use all of this for her. She was wasting all of this by keeping them inside.

She knew her limitations well. She was smart enough to live in this world and mix with those power players but her laziness and fear for strange things were keeping her at bay.

Her main fear was of animals. In this world, the profession of beast taming was one of the highly paid and reputed paths for a career that involves the interaction of animals. She was scared to come in a close range of them.

It was the case when she was taming the azure dragon. Well come to think of it, the azure dragon who claimed to be the super-powerful, an old man with experience easily lost to the male lead and on top of that he was quite readily tamed by her.

Wasn't it weird? Long Lei felt something was missing in this equation.

The male lead who is not so powerful yet, an old dragon that should be strong in the beginning stages lost pitifully.

Willingly agreed to be her contracted beast?

Long Lei was stupefied. How come she didn't think it before.

Was she duped by them?
