I Am Overlord Chapter 1364

Chapter 1364: Money’s Chance

Money replied, “Lord dragon, he is my boss. I beg you to spare him. I’m willing to stay by your side and serve you forever.”
Who said that demonic beasts had no emotions? Demonic beasts might not be as rich in emotions as humans, but they were sincere and straightforward. Over the years, Xiang Shaoyun had taken good care of Money. He naturally didn’t wish to see Xiang Shaoyun dead.
“Who do you think you are? With your strength, you’re not even worthy of being my attendant,” said the ice dragon. “What can you do if I want to eat him?”
He then ignored Money as a suction force erupted from his jaws and pulled Xiang Shaoyun over.
“Lord dragon, no!” Money cried out in fear. He could not move due to the ice dragon’s suppression and could only stare blankly as Xiang Shaoyun was pulled into the ice dragon’s mouth.
Right this moment, a dragon appeared from Xiang Shaoyun’s head. This was a projection from the Nether Soul Dragon Headband. It started roaring as though resisting the ice dragon.
“Protection of the draconic aura? Is this kid perhaps related to the dragons?” muttered the ice dragon.
After staring at Xiang Shaoyun for a bit, the ice dragon looked at Money and said, “Forget it. This much meat isn’t even enough for me anyway. Take him and come with me.”
“Thank you, lord dragon,” Money was overjoyed. He knew that the ice dragon had changed his mind.
Money lifted Xiang Shaoyun and followed the ice dragon into the cave on the Heavenly Snow Mountain. He knew that the cave was the ice dragon’s lair. The ice dragon’s existence played a great role in ensuring that the Heavenly Snow Mountain had not melted even after all these years.
Upon entering the lair, the cave entrance froze over. Once again, the Heavenly Snow Mountain returned to how it was. No sign of damage could be seen, and nobody could see what was hidden within the mountain. The lair was akin to an independent space. It was incredibly expansive, with countless icicles hanging from the cave’s ceiling and presenting an enchanting sight.
Money felt like his body was about to be frozen over, and a layer of frost appeared around Xiang Shaoyun’s body. No matter how Money tried, he couldn’t protect Xiang Shaoyun from the frost energy.
When the ice dragon noticed what Money was doing, he pointed and sent a beam of energy at them. The energy wrapped around them and isolated them from the frost energy. Finally, they could remain unharmed in the cave.
Carrying Xiang Shaoyun on his back, Money moved for an indeterminate amount of time before arriving at the depths of the lair. There, the walls were decorated with numerous saint ice crystals, filling the area with a shockingly thick concentration of frost energy. Numerous saint-grade and even god-grade plants grew all over the place. At the corner of the cave, a pile of ice-elemental treasures could be seen. This ice dragon had quite a collection of wealth.
Money was stunned at what he saw. Unfortunately, he was no ice cultivator, and nothing here was helpful for him.
“You’ll be my attendant from now on. As for that dying kid, seal him in ice. Don’t let him dirty my place,” said the ice dragon.
Without waiting for Money’s reply, the ice dragon tossed Xiang Shaoyun into the corner. There, Xiang Shaoyun was instantly frozen over.
“Lord dragon, my boss will die like this. I beg you to save him,” said Money anxiously.
“It’s pointless for you to beg. He is protected by draconic aura and won’t die so easily. If he really can’t survive, so be it,” said the ice dragon uncaringly. He lifted Money into the air and said, “You little serpentine dragon had even grown your celestial horn. However, the draconic blood in you is lacking. Let me enhance the draconic blood in you. It would be too embarrassing for me to have a weak attendant.”
He then tore a tiny wound on his finger and dripped his blood onto Money’s body. The tiny bit of blood instantly flooded Money’s body with a boiling power that caused him to cry out in alarm.
Roar!
He felt like the blood was about to burn him to death. He hurriedly activated the draconic blood in his body and started fusing his blood with the ice dragon’s blood. Finally, the pain faded away.
This was a baptism of draconic blood, an incredible fortuitous encounter that would give Money a much brighter future. As the baptism proceeded, Money’s body started undergoing a certain transformation.
As the ice dragon looked at Money, he thought inwardly, Although this kid isn’t a pure dragon, he has still inherited the bloodline of the celestial horned dragonsnake. He definitely has a bright future. I’ll consider this gift from me a way to form good karma between the two of us.
The ice dragon might seem coarse and overbearing, but he was extremely shrewd. No ordinary person could guess what he was thinking. Next, his gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun. After some hesitation, he decided to ignore Xiang Shaoyun.
In his eyes, Xiang Shaoyun was a different species. Even though Xiang Shaoyun had the protection of the draconic aura, that aura was probably something he had obtained through plunder. At that thought, the ice dragon decided to stop caring about Xiang Shaoyun.
Having been crippled by the old man, Xiang Shaoyun’s saintly body had naturally been badly damaged as well. Without the protection of his astral energy, he was like the fire on a candle that could be extinguished at any time.
Despite his bad condition, he was still alive. With the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, his soul remained protected. And so long as his soul remained and his body was not fully destroyed, he would preserve his life. His body might have been crippled, but it wasn’t fully destroyed yet. Without his stars, he had no astral energy. However, that did not mean that he had no energy in his body.
So many people had joined hands against him because he was a devil. Thus, he still had his devil cultivation. His devilish energy was stored in his devil pearl, which was also under the Nether Soul Dragon Headband’s protection. The headband was also the reason why the old man hadn’t been able to search his soul and unveil all his secrets.
The reason Xiang Shaoyun wasn’t moving was because of his terrible injuries. Even with his saint soul preserved, he still felt like he was about to die. This was the heaviest injury he had ever suffered in his life. Without the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, he would have died by now. He felt endless gratitude for the headband, as it had saved his life many times.
Since I have survived, I’ll return this grudge tenfold to all of you! vowed Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.
He might have devil blood flowing in his veins, but he had never harmed the human race. However, the humans were the ones who had harmed him to this extent. He was naturally unwilling to forgive and forget. With the destruction of his astral energy cultivation, his sole remaining path was probably the path of a true devil. It was as though fate itself was toying with him.
