Chapter 225 Oh no, my villa has been defiled by a succubus!
The Alchemical City offered a permanent residence permit.
As for a house, he was quite optimistic about the Alchemical City back then and spent money to buy a plot of land there, on which he built a two-story villa with a yard in a pretty good location.
He didn't feel like returning to Black Dragon Island to sleep tonight; staying in the villa he had built before wouldn't be a problem.
However, he hadn't lived there for many years and was unsure if his villa had been demolished, but according to his calculations back then, the location where he built his villa wouldn't be subject to demolition for two hundred years.
"Ah? You're still an honored citizen of the Alchemical City?"
"Mhm."
That felt so conflicting.
It was one thing that the Evil Dragon wasn't wanted by the Alchemical City, but to actually be an honored citizen of the Alchemical City...
"How did you get the title of honored citizen?" the Young Dragon asked, curious.
"Never sold fake products, the quality of my primordial energy artifacts was top-notch, and I even offered some suggestions for the development of the Alchemical City. Then they made me an honored citizen of the Alchemical City, and the mayor personally issued me a permanent residence permit."
"You used to sell things in the Alchemical City?"
"Mhm."
"Then we don't even need to rent a shop?"
"We still need to rent one."
"Don't you have a shop?"
"It closed down."
???
The Young Dragon was dumbfounded, a shop run by the Evil Dragon could close down?
With the Evil Dragon's abilities, no matter what kind of shop he opened... it shouldn't have closed down due to poor management.
"How did it close down?"
"The quality was too high, whatever people bought from me could last five or six years, and then it closed down."
"???"
The Young Dragon was stunned; she grew up hearing about shops closing down due to poor product quality, but she had never heard of a shop closing down because the quality was too good...
In a way... the Evil Dragon was scarily honest.
Opening a shop this time in the Alchemical City... she would have to ask the Evil Dragon to lower the quality of the primordial energy artifacts, cards, and magic potions?
If they closed down again because the product quality was too good...
Then Saint Blue would really be in danger.
"Do I need to go to the city hall to get a residence permit, or a temporary permit?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow; let's go home to sleep tonight. This house needs cleaning, we'll stay here after cleaning it tomorrow."
"Oh."
Going back to Black Dragon Island was fine too; she hadn't arrived at the Alchemical City via a teleportation array, but flew over, so going back to the island to rest well for a night sounded good.
As for the Alchemical City, there was no rush to explore; earning eight hundred thousand gold coins would probably take three months or even half a year, right?
Lance returned to Black Dragon Island with the Young Dragon through the teleportation gate.
May 16th, clear.
After enjoying breakfast on Black Dragon Island, the Young Dragon impatiently dragged Lance back to the Alchemical City through the teleportation gate.
Back in the Alchemical City, Lance took the Young Dragon to his built villa.
Black Cloud Gold District, Villa No. 3.
The Alchemical City had changed a lot; after asking around, Lance finally located the villa he built back then.

Standing in front of the gate of his own villa.
Lance's eyes revealed a puzzling expression; he had named his villa "Blue Bay Villa."
But now, his villa was known as "Villa No. 3."
But that wasn't the key issue.
The key issue was... his villa seemed to have been taken over.
Not only had the villa been occupied, but even the doghouse that he had built for Er Gouzi back in the day... was now taken by a Demon Dog.
"Lan Lan... Lance... are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place? This villa doesn't look like it's been vacant for long, look... there's a Demon Dog in the doghouse in the yard, it's staring at us... it's showing its teeth... it's not tied up, is it?"
The Young Dragon hid behind Lance, peeking out with half of her head, trembling as she observed the horned Demon Dog.
If she had known they'd encounter a Demon Dog, she should have brought Er Gouzi before coming to the Alchemical City this morning.
"I'm not mistaken; it's here. I personally refined the doghouse, poured the courtyard wall, and crafted the villa's glass. The window decorations and villa's design are from my drawings.
I sprayed the exterior wall's paint, and the murals on the stucco... were painted by me in my spare time. Great... I never expected that one day, I, who always abide by the law, would encounter such a thing.
Interesting... this is really interesting."
Lance glanced at the Demon Dog with a red unicorn horn on its head, stepped forward, pushed open the courtyard gate, and entered.
Not only had they taken over his villa, but they had also uprooted all the exotic flowers and herbs he had planted and replaced them with dark-attribute plants.
Blood Demon Flower.
Vampire Vine.
Black Sunflower.
To the right were planted dark-attribute plants.
The layout on the left hadn't changed much.
Hammock.
Swing.
A stone table and chairs for afternoon tea.
The Unihorn Evil Dog bared its teeth and howled, entering attack mode.
"Taking over my dog's kennel and then daring to snarl at me? If your master doesn't satisfy me today, you'll be on my dinner table tonight.
Now, shut up."
Whimper, whimper, whimper—
The Unihorn Evil Dog whimpered and retreated back into its kennel, poor scared dog...
Such scary eyes...
I'll die...
If I continue to bare my teeth at that person, I'll really die...
"A beautiful day starts with encountering a good-looking burglar who breaks into homes,"
The villa's second-floor window opened, pushed by a pair of fair arms, and a girl with long purplish-red hair stood by the window, stretching in the sunlight before she nonchalantly crawled onto the windowsill, smiling down at Lance.
"Hey there, good-looking, breaking into people's homes... I have the right to shoot you... or make you my slave," she said with a grin.
"It's dirty."
"???"
The girl perched on the windowsill tilted her head in confusion.
Dirty?
"What's dirty?"
"My bed is dirty, the master bedroom is dirty. You've defiled them, and things have gotten a bit serious."
A hint of irritation flashed across the girl's radiant eyes.
Something was off about this handsome human.
The way he looked at her was off.
Human males of his age, upon seeing her, would usually have a look of desire in their eyes when they saw her.
Yet the human in the yard, at the first glance, displayed an unmistakable look of disgust.
At this moment, should she say "Damn it"? Or should she say "Interesting"?
"Did you get that backwards? Shouldn't it be the bed, the master bedroom... defiling me, a pure and charming young lady?"
"Put on some clothes and come see me in the living room downstairs."
Succubus.
Demon Dog.
A demon had sneaked into Alchemical City.
Were the higher-ups in Alchemical City blind?
Couldn't they see through the disguise of a mere succubus?
And that Demon Dog at the door.
Lance never dreamed his villa would be taken over by a succubus from The Abyss.
His pure villa!!!
How did it get defiled by a succubus?
Ah, succubus...
A proper succubus could even drain a hero dry.
The succubus that had taken over his villa... she looked a bit like a proper one.
Whether she truly was one or not, he'd have to see.
Hopefully, she is the shame of succubi.
If she is the disgrace of succubi, then the villa might be salvageable with a good cleaning.
If she's a proper succubus, then he might as well pack up and sell the place to her.
