Chapter 2238 - 1123: Win-Win Deal (Part 2)

Chapter 2238: Chapter 1123: Win-Win Deal (Part 2)

The kind of Bow Spirit that’s reborn through long-term use by its Master usually ends up way more loyal and reliable.

But if Dorothy agrees to this Snake Emperor Dragon senior’s request right now, then Brave Adam basically did all that work for nothing.

After all, this Snake Emperor Dragon King isn’t any less dangerous than the Typhon Dragon God. Once her consciousness takes over Hundred-Head Slayer, who knows if this bow will still behave?

Wouldn’t it be a joke if she gets the Snake Emperor Dragon’s eyes but loses Hundred-Head Slayer? That’s trading a watermelon for a sesame seed.

However...

"Sure, let’s do it this way then. As long as it doesn’t cause trouble for you, senior, I’ve got no problem on my side."

Dorothy finally nodded and agreed.

Yeah, if she really were some weak, pitiful, helpless mortal, then saying yes to this Snake Emperor Dragon senior’s deal would definitely be way too risky.

Even though this Snake Emperor Dragon senior has seemed quite easy to get along with so far, they’ve literally just met. It’s not like they’re close. Who knows if her current friendliness is just an act.

But the homebody witch is very obviously not a mortal. She’s a witch, and her backing is crazy strong.

This Snake Emperor Dragon senior had better really be a good dragon with no bad intentions toward her, or else...

Well, Dorothy herself doesn’t actually know what the consequences would be. She has no idea what methods her psychotic Good Sister and her yandere good disciple still have up their sleeves once they lose their temper.

Not to mention she’s been staying in the Dragon King Palace these last two days, right under Dragon King’s nose. If Dragon King really inherited Emora’s will, then that one’s a true Dragon Slayer.

No witch understands Great Dragons better than Dragon King.

"Uh, you little girl actually said yes? You’re this bold? Don’t you know I’m super strong? I’m Patmel, Snake Emperor Dragon King, you know?"

Seeing Dorothy agree so cleanly, the Snake Emperor Dragon senior actually got a bit confused. She shook her massive skull and instead started trying to talk the homebody witch into thinking it over a bit more.

By the way, she finally revealed her own name, but sadly Dorothy really had never heard of any Snake Emperor Dragon King’s title before.

After all, this senior Patmel fell way too long ago. Since she used to be Typhon Dragon God’s rival back in the day, she probably kicked the bucket before Typhon Dragon God rose to the Upper-Level, and Typhon is a seriously ancient Dragon God.

Anyway, witches as a young race with only a measly hundred thousand years of history definitely don’t have any record of this Snake Emperor Dragon senior. Her title has probably been forgotten by most dragons in the Dragon Realm too.

After all, the great Strength of time is overwhelming. Time washes away everything. Who knows how many ancient powerhouses once shook the Western Universe, but in the end they all turned to dust. Maybe only the Spirit World, which preserves everything, still keeps their legends.

"No need to think it over. Since you’re treating me so sincerely, senior, and are even willing to give me this last of your Relics, then I naturally won’t doubt you anymore."

The homebody witch spoke very sincerely.

And that’s not a lie.

She really doesn’t need to be the one doubting anything. As long as she brings the bow back later, the Third King will probably drag this Snake Emperor Dragon senior’s entire ancestral line out of the river of time.

She honestly does hope the Snake Emperor Dragon senior is a good dragon. Meeting is fate, after all, and she really would like to get along with this senior who’s ancient but kind of fun.

"Uu uu uu, you’re such a sweet little girl. All right, let’s do it then. Don’t worry, big sis will cover you from now on. I don’t have any bad intentions; I’ve just been stuck in this damned place way too long. And I’m too strong, so it’s hard for me to properly die anytime soon. I just want to go see what the outside world looks like nowadays."

Moved by Dorothy’s trust, the Snake Emperor Dragon senior’s gem-like Snake Eyes suddenly overflowed with waterfall-like tears that poured straight down, nearly flooding the witches in the valley.

And just like that, the deal was made.

As for this, the girl friends were already used to it. They also felt Dorothy was taking a bit of a risk, but it’s not like they met yesterday. The sisters have long known this homebody witch is a scheming little menace—everyone else gets ripped off, but she never does.

So, if Dorothy agreed to this deal, then she definitely has follow-up means of control.

Mother Dragon also knows her seemingly well-behaved but actually repressed and sly daughter very well, so she didn’t say much.

Only Time Dragon Mavis had a big problem with it. She genuinely thought this young lady was being way too reckless, so she stared very warily at that giant snake skull. If the old thing inside really grows a thief’s heart, she’ll make the first move.

Thankfully, what happened next went surprisingly smoothly.

With a dragon’s roar, a massive phantom of a Snake Emperor Dragon shot out from those gem-like Snake Eyes. That dragon-serpent shadow circled in the air a few times, then flew straight toward the great bow in the homebody witch’s hands.

Of course, Hundred-Head Slayer was not thrilled about this. Even without a consciousness, Typhon’s body instincts still seemed to strongly reject this old rival, like a visceral disgust. So this already vicious great bow suddenly burst out with terrifying Dragon’s Might and killing intent.

But that was completely useless.

"Heh heh heh, bet you never saw this coming, Typhon. You turned me down back then, and now look, I still got my way. Even though I didn’t get your heart, I’ve now gotten your body and become your heart instead. Not bad at all."

The Snake Emperor Dragon Soul let out a rather excited, weird cackle.

Dorothy: "...."

Uh, okay, that sounded like something outrageous. You Great Dragons play this dirty too? So all those rumors about dragons being horny by nature were actually true?

The homebody witch grumbled inwardly like that.

Soon, that massive dragon-serpent phantom completely vanished into Hundred-Head Slayer, and the already mighty Evil Bow became even more powerful.

Meanwhile, the snake skull, now devoid of Power of the Soul, began to rot away, quickly turning into a field of ash. Only those two huge, gem-like Snake Eyes drifted down and finally stopped in front of Dorothy.

The homebody witch reached out to pick up the two Snake Eyes and let out a breath of relief.

Yeah, there was a little unexpected twist, but the hunting target this time was finally secured.

"Then let’s head back."

She stashed the Snake Eyes away and was just about to leave when...

"Wait....."

Patmel’s voice came from within Hundred-Head Slayer, and on the bow’s grip, among all those originally rather stiff heads, one snake head suddenly looked very lively.

"What’s wrong, senior?"

Hearing that voice, the sisters, Mother Dragon, and Mavis all tensed up, thinking the other side was about to turn hostile for real. Only Dorothy stayed pretty calm—besides her mother standing right here, she’s literally wearing her ancestor around her neck.

"Why’re you all in such a rush to leave? Didn’t we say you were here to dig graves and rob tombs? Show some professionalism, will you? My Dragon Bones may have lost most of their Strength and are badly weathered, but this Bone Powder is great stuff. Take it back to brew tea; it nourishes yin and boosts yang. And my Dragon Scales—top-tier Alchemy materials....."

Yup, confirmed: this Snake Emperor Dragon senior is absolutely a goofy comedian girl. I mean, what normal dragon would be this happy to coach others on how to turn their own corpse into dust as efficiently as possible?

Still, you really do know yourself best. Patmel’s detailed suggestions on how to arrange and exploit her remains deeply shocked Dorothy but also taught her a lot, and everyone hurriedly followed her guidance to strip this valley of every high-Level dragon-type material.

Yeah, stripped clean as in digging three feet into the ground.

In the end, the group returned loaded with spoils.

And as soon as they got back to the Dragon Cavalry Legion’s forward base castle, the Snake Emperor Dragon senior spoke up again.

"Hey hey, want me to teach you how to use my eyes? My eyes are great stuff, and you humans don’t see much, so don’t you dare waste them. I’ll show you how to use them to... uh, hold up, why are you taking out a pot?"

Seeing the homebody witch pull out a big Gold cauldron, a whole row of question marks popped up from Hundred-Head Slayer.

...Snake Emperor Dragon, confused...
