Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

70 Scammer Xu, What Are You Planning This Time?
So far, Su Wan was unable to see Xu Yuan’s attribute panel. She was very curious about the race he belonged to. She suspected that he was a Dark Dragon.

When she had talked with Shi Linglong about it, she realized that her friend also thought as much. Su Wan was confused why Xu Yuan was secretive about it. There was no need to hide things, even if he belonged to the race of Dark Dragons.

Dark Dragons were a powerful bloodline, but he didn’t need to be so secretive about it. This made Su Wan think about the race Xu Yuan belonged to. What was it that made him so motivated to hide everything from her?

Su Wan had, at last, found a shred of information to this enigma.

‘Demon Dragon?’ Su Wan had never heard of the race before. She had heard about Dark Dragons, Red Dragons, Golden Dragons, and many others. However, she had never heard about Demon Dragons.

‘It’s fitting,’ thought Su Wan. ‘His behavior is demonic, to say the least.’ Su Wan recalled the times when he had tricked her. Xu Yuan was very demonic in the way he tricked and scammed people.

Her blood didn’t boil in rage this time. Instead, she seemed to have adapted to such things.

“Scammer Xu,” she said softly. “I know there is no need to turn into human form. But does that mean you can still turn into a human if you wanted to?”

This time, Xu Yuan told her the truth and didn’t hide anything from her. “Not yet,” he said. “We need to wait until the Territory Core reaches Level 3.”

Su Wan clenched her fists in anticipation. “If the Territory Core upgrades, you will gain more abilities, right?”

Su Wan had suspected this, but she had never been able to confirm it. She knew that when the Territory Core had upgraded to Level 2, Xu Yuan had gained a new ability.

Xu Yuan didn’t seem like he wanted to discuss it, so he remained quiet. He didn’t know that a plan was already forming in Su Wan’s mind.

‘What would Xu Yuan look like as a human?’ wondered Su Wan. ‘I must find a way to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 3 as soon as possible!’

Su Wan hadn’t much cared about upgrading the Territory Core before. She knew that the biggest beneficiary of upgrading it would be Xu Yuan, and he wasn’t willing to show her his abilities anyway. So, Su Wan always slacked off. However, she had a new purpose now.

After a long while, Xu Yuan realized that Su Wan had gone very quiet on his back. ‘Did she fall asleep?’ he wondered.

He landed in the territory and found out that she had really fallen asleep on his back. ‘Sleeping so soundly… isn’t she worried that she might fall off at such a height?’ wondered Xu Yuan. ‘Is it because she trusts me enough to be able to sleep so peacefully?’

He placed the sleeping Su Wan on the blanket he usually napped on.

The territory was still in the developmental stage. Su Wan had been a Lord for less than a month. The territory didn’t even have a bed yet. So, he could only put her down on the blanket he often slept on.

While she slept, Xu Yuan began to plan the future development of the territory. Recent incidents had proven that it was not safe to expand the territory to the outside of the cave. If there was another beast tide, anything outside the territory would be wiped out.

‘The safest and most secure way is to develop underground,’ thought Xu Yuan. ‘The territory is a cave, if we don’t plan underground, it would be a waste of such a secure space.’

A plan emerged in Xu Yuan’s mind. He walked to the Territory Core.

[Territory Core Upgrade Requirements.]

[Land Area should be 5 square kilometers (Not yet achieved)]

[Total resources need to reach 1000 tons (Not yet achieved)]

[Possess 20 buildings (Incomplete)]

[Population needs to reach 10000 (Not yet achieved)]

“The requirements to upgrade the Territory Core are getting more difficult,” muttered Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan looked at the current resources of the territory. It was very close to 1000 tons. The second requirement was fairly easy to achieve.

Xu Yuan looked at the buildings that could be built in a Level 2 Territory Core:

[Soul Altar: non-allied creatures killed within the territory can reincarnate through the filthy earth to become part of the Army.]

Xu Yuan’s eyes lit up at this. ‘With this Soul Altar, reaching a 10000 population would be a piece of cake! However, enemies need to come to the territory in droves to be killed.’

A rough idea arose in Xu Yuan’s mind. ‘I have to think of a way to spread false information to attract the barbarians, goblins, slimes, and even other Lords to this territory. Then, I will kill them and convert them to our side.’

Xu Yuan decided to go ahead and build that Soul Altar. As he looked at the resources needed to build it, he glanced at Su Wan from the corner of his eyes.

Xu Yuan yawned. “I must get this done quickly and catch up on sleep. If the Lord wakes up, she will yell at me again.”

Xu Yuan looked at the progress bar for the Soul Altar. It would take a while for it to complete. Xu Yuan wanted to sleep and absorb experience during that time. He ran back to his blanket and pushed Su Wan to the side. Su Wan rolled onto the cold floor. She instinctively hugged Xu Yuan for warmth.

After a while, Su Wan woke up. She looked at Xu Yuan, who was sleeping soundly. She felt flustered. ‘Wait! How did this happen?!’

Her heart pounded. She tried to calm down. ‘I tripped and injured my leg. Xu Yuan carried me here…’

It was Su Wan’s first time being carried into the sky on Xu Yuan’s back. She felt that it was a good experience. She felt happy.

Su Wan wondered how she ended up in his blanket. ‘Did he place me here because I fell asleep? He does know how to care for others!’

Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan, then she got up to deal with the matters of the territory. “Wait…,” she said. “Where are the resources? How is it all empty?”

“Scammer Xu!” she roared. “What have you done?!”

Xu Yuan was dreaming about killing numerous enemies. When Su Wan’s voice reached his ears, he waved his hand impatiently. “Don’t be so noisy,” he murmured. “I am killing them all.”

Su Wan was puzzled. Her rage disappeared. “Scammer Xu, what are you planning this time?”
