Chapter 11: The Maturity Stage - Part Three
Chapter Eleven: The Maturity Stage - Part Three
During this period, Aislin's behavior changed. She started acting like a teenager, and it became more difficult to deal with her. She would often ask me about my marriage partner and whether the reason I wanted to train in the Ice Scorpion Clan was to marry the Ice Empress.
She asked me, "Do you really want to marry the Ice Empress?"
I didn't hide anything from her and told her honestly that I was indeed interested in the Ice Empress and wanted to marry her, even setting it as my goal.
But after I told her that, she became very angry, and we got into a fight that made me doubt if she considered me a marriage partner! In fact, this isn't strange for spirit beasts, as they often prefer to marry their relatives to maintain the purity of their bloodline, and this is especially common in large clans.
Anyway, I didn't care much about her occasional tantrums. However, she became more and more bold, and one day, I thought she would lose her mind, especially when I told her that I would marry the Heavenly Snow Empress after marrying the Ice Scorpion Empress.
Sometimes, I feel like she's really going to become a Yandere.
She tried many times to seduce me, igniting desire inside me, even though she knew I was a dragon and that I might not be able to control myself.
Being a dragon means I have an incredibly strong desire, especially since the bloodline inheritance goes beyond the human principles that still remain within me.
Not only that, but I have lived as a dragon far longer than I have lived as a human, making it extremely difficult to maintain the human principles from my previous life.
Especially since these principles do not exist in dragon clans, and Aislin possesses extraordinary beauty, and I have already reached adulthood, where emotions and desires are amplified.
I had suppressed these feelings for a very long time, but now, Aislin tempts me, awakening those repressed feelings more and more.
What makes matters worse is this sensation that often overtakes me, as if it is a fire consuming everything in its path, pushing me toward her as if urging me to do something…
Sometimes, I swear I hear voices telling me: "Do it… if you don't, you'll regret it… you're no longer human… abandon your human conscience, and you won't regret it… you're not the hero… you're just the starting point for the real hero…"
This feeling has become like an inner demon.
Because of it, I can no longer stop myself.
My mind and heart have become in a chaotic struggle, with my mind trying to hold on to the last piece of human conscience, while my heart has already abandoned human emotions.
I no longer have a human heart… but a dragon's heart that does not acknowledge human boundaries, I abandoned it long ago.
But my mind began to lean towards agreeing with my heart.
I don't know how long I'll be able to stop myself from drifting towards Aislin, as I've already become lustful, and she is making me that way too, destroying the last piece of human conscience inside me.
I started to think: I am a dragon… and I should act like a dragon… it's time to let go of the past and move forward, it's time to be a true dragon!"
I felt like I was suffering from a split personality, as part of me sees that I am a dragon and should act accordingly, while the other part sees that I was human before I was a dragon, and I should retain human principles.
But this part… is the weakest point.
Currently, I was flying back to my homeland.
It has been over a year since I left for the Ice Scorpion Clan.
During my flight, I headed straight to my mother's territory.
I hadn't stayed there for more than a few months, but for spirit beasts, these are just moments, so my mother and sister were probably still there.
My relationship with the Ice Empress has changed over these years, as well as with her sister. She has a sister, the Blue Ice Scorpion Spirit, aged one hundred thousand years, and she is no less beautiful than the Ice Scorpion Empress of the Green Star Spirit. Over the years, I have already managed to capture her, while the Ice Scorpion Empress has started to accept my pursuit of her as a potential marriage. An agreement was made: if I manage to breakthrough to 50,000 years before she breaks through to 300,000 years, she will become my wife. Anyway, this is not difficult; I am about to break through to 49,000 years soon.
As I neared the central lands, I began to feel a familiar presence… but there was something that made me extremely angry!
Next to my mother and sister, I felt the aura of an Ice Armored Lizard, likely a male aged between 50,000 and 60,000 years.
At that moment, a murderous intent erupted inside me, and it seemed he sensed it immediately!
Even my mother and sister noticed it and moved, as well as this dead man who had been pursuing my sister.
After two minutes, we met, but I didn't say anything… I attacked him immediately with all my strength!
I could feel my sister's frustration and anger. Even if she had agreed to his presence near her, I would have killed him anyway… for Aislin!
He didn't expect such a powerful attack, and was sent flying a hundred meters, spitting blood. I had targeted his chest specifically, not to kill him immediately, but to inflict serious internal injuries.
Without giving him a chance to respond, I fell on him with my full body, tearing through his scales with my claws, and then I threw him toward a nearby hill.
After that, I began attacking his extremities, which were – unlike my body – covered with ordinary scales.
But he was just an Ice Armored Lizard, nothing in front of me!
Not to mention the difference in evolution and strength, he couldn't resist my strikes at all. So I began torturing him to the fullest, for daring to interfere with my sister.
Although I was torturing him, I kept an eye on my mother and sister's reactions.
Their opinions were still important to me.
Of course, they didn't try to save him, even if they had wanted to.
However, what pleased me was that they didn't even try to stop me!
On the contrary, my sister's expression was shocked, but she looked slightly excited, which made me attack even harder! I even sent spiritual energy into his wounds, not only to slow down his regeneration but also to increase his pain.
My level was far stronger than his, even though he was older than me. But my special freezing spiritual energy was stronger, and with the continuous internal effect, I was able to freeze him slowly.
But it wouldn't stop there…
