Chapter 184: Why Did He Catch You?
“I caught you?”
Caesar slightly tilted his head.
“…Didn’t you?”
Seeing his expression of not understanding what she was saying, Su Miantang couldn’t help but doubt her own judgment. The aura on his body didn’t entirely match the dragon that caught her.
“Or perhaps your kin? Its beast form is a dragon, pitch-black all over, with horns on its head, and its eyes…”
She stared at his dreamlike amethyst left eye and said, “…are also purple.”
Exactly the same as this eye of his.
Hearing her description, a ripple finally appeared on Caesar’s consistently expressionless face. “Why did he catch you?”
It seemed like a question.
And also like a murmur to himself.
Was it really not him?
Su Miantang was surprised. “I’d also like to know. Could we…”
Just as she was about to ask to see the dragon to figure out the situation, Caesar turned around. As if he hadn’t heard her speak, he shook his head and walked toward the high platform.
However, he didn’t sit back down in his chair. Instead, he walked straight into the grand hall.
On either side, the females reading the gift list saw this and immediately stopped their voices. “Emperor Caesar is returning to his palace. That concludes today. Envoys, please return to the side halls. If there are still treasures to present, you may come tomorrow at the same time, along with the newly arrived envoys.”
After speaking, they also disappeared into the grand hall.
On the platform, the females who had just been singing, dancing, and massaging the man saw the situation and also tried to follow him in. However, they were blasted back by an invisible light at the doorway.
“Ah—”
Several of them fell to the ground, screaming. Immediately after, they looked at Su Miantang with eyes full of resentment.
“It’s all your fault!”
“If you hadn’t suddenly interfered and ruined Emperor Caesar’s mood, we might have been taken into the harem by now!”
Su Miantang: “?”
On the wasteland, the other females were also whispering to each other, pointing and staring.
“Yeah. With her being so pretty, I thought she would definitely be taken into the harem. Who would have thought that after just a couple of sentences, the Emperor couldn’t be bothered with her.”
“Just a useless piece of trash with empty beauty and no inner substance. She doesn’t even know how to use her natural advantages!”
“What a waste. If I had that face and body, I would definitely be able to successfully climb into the Emperor’s bed…”
“Alright, let’s disperse, let’s disperse. Stop talking about it. Let’s see if there’s an opportunity tomorrow.”
Baffling.
Everything around her made Su Miantang feel baffled.
Being caught by a black dragon for no reason, and inexplicably facing an abnormal scene and crowd, she knew nothing about what was happening.
But the two females reading the gift list on the high platform just now called everyone “envoys.” It seemed they knew everything.
“Hello.”
She randomly stopped a female.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, the female brushed her off with an annoyed expression.
“Don’t block my way!”
She had to stop another one. “Excuse me, where is this?”
“Get lost!”
The attitude was exactly the same, even worse.
She frowned, extremely puzzled.
Why was their hostility towards her so great?
Ever since she woke up.
She tried to stop a few more, without exception.
Out of options, she decided to drive her pheromones to control their minds and get some information. The Big Golden Retriever, Lanlan, and the others were still waiting for her at the banquet; she had to go back quickly.
She raised her hand and drove her pheromones toward a few females walking together not far away, but… the other party actually had no reaction!
What’s going on?!
She stared at her own hand in shock.
“Hahahaha!”
A burst of loud laughter came.
Su Miantang looked up and saw a female dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing exquisite jewelry covering her mouth and laughing at her with a face full of mockery.
It seemed to be Caroline of Planet Siren, who had just presented the thousand-year-old spiritual object, coral.
“You’re not driving your pheromones, are you?”
“Yes.”
“How stupid! Don’t you know that within the Dragon Domain, pheromones are ineffective?”
Dragon Domain?
This was the Dragon Domain?
She had never heard of it.
“I don’t know, I was caught and brought here.”
“Caught?” Caroline seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous. “Who caught you and brought you here?”
“A black dragon.”
“Hahahaha!”
She laughed even louder.
In this whole wide world, within the Dragon Domain, there was only Emperor Caesar, an esteemed Purple-Gold Divine Dragon with supreme status. Where would a black dragon come from?
Was she delusional?
“Caroline!”
Caroline was about to continue mocking her when a female companion next to her glared at her fiercely. As if warned, she immediately remembered the family’s admonition before she came: Every female is your enemy and might try their best to disguise and scheme against you. She stopped talking, turned around, and left.
“Wait!”
Su Miantang chased after them.
The female who glared stared at her strictly and vigilantly. “What exactly do you want to do?”
“I want to leave here.”
I want to leave here…
The young girl’s clear, pleasant, and incredibly firm voice transmitted into the palace, making the male beastman, who was walking as swiftly as the wind, pause in his tracks.
Leave?
His heterochromatic eyes froze slightly. It seemed he had never heard of this unfamiliar vocabulary before.
“You want to leave?”
A trace of ridicule flashed through the strict female’s eyes.
She indeed harbored ill intentions.
“Lunatic!”
Caroline also chimed in, “She really knows how to act!”
Su Miantang didn’t know why they would have this reaction. “Really, if you can help me leave, I’m willing to pay a handsome reward.”
“Reward? Do you think anyone who can come here lacks money? Get lost!”
“…”
On the wasteland, every female was hostile to her. She had no optical computer on her, couldn’t summon a flying vehicle, didn’t have any tools to guide directions or for self-defense, and even her pheromones couldn’t be used…
For the first time, Su Miantang felt helpless.
But she couldn’t just sit and wait for death. Disappearing suddenly from the banquet, she couldn’t even imagine how anxious the male beastmen around her would be.
She didn’t follow the large group into the side hall. Instead, she walked toward the direction where the sun had just set, thinking that perhaps she would meet a kind-hearted person or find some way out along the way.
But the wasteland was too vast, so vast it was like an endless desert…
Late at night.
Inside the empty grand hall, on a profound ice bed, a figure seemed to be disturbed and suddenly opened his purple-gold heterochromatic eyes.
He waved his large palm gently, and a scene immediately appeared before his eyes.
The bright starlight illuminated a petite figure on the wasteland.
It was the very ugly little female from the daytime.
She was walking toward the edge of the Dragon Domain, walking and walking…
Is she really leaving?
A hint of curiosity rose again in his eyes. He extended his knuckles and drew a circle in the air.
He watched the little female, like an ant trapped in a glass cover, scrambling around busily, but ultimately returning to the starting point.
Pillowing his head slightly on one hand, those curious eyes gradually became full of interest. It was as if he could watch her like this all night without feeling bored.
However, the little female soon stopped.
When Su Miantang returned to the starting point for the second time, she realized something was wrong.
Ghost walls?
As a scientist, she never believed in such things, but she believed in the Truman Show. When a thing repeated itself, someone was playing tricks.
“Who is it?”
She looked up at the vast, boundless sky but saw nothing.
Meeting her gaze was a pair of slightly stunned heterochromatic eyes in the pitch-black grand hall.
She is indeed very special.
In the desolate night, on the lonely wasteland, there was no response.
Su Miantang crouched down.
She couldn’t walk any further…
If she kept walking, she might die of exhaustion.
She had to think of another way.
A figure emerged in her mind.
Emperor Caesar.
He should be the master of this Dragon Domain.
Although his personality was very strange and his aura was intimidating—causing all the females to adopt extremely humble postures before him—his eyes were clear. Like an innocent child, they held no trace of threat or hostility. Nor was he like those females, who harbored natural hostility toward her.
Perhaps he could help her.
She gave up leaving and returned to the direction of the side hall. The ghost walls were indeed broken.
The next day, at the same time, over a thousand females once again hugged their gift boxes and lined up below the grand hall. From their discussions, Su Miantang learned that everyone’s goal was to enter Emperor Caesar’s harem.
Besides those from yesterday, there were even some new arrivals.
With their extraordinary appearances and noble statuses, why did they insist on squeezing into a male beastman’s harem? Could it be…
She guessed in her heart.
Just because he was an existence with a combat power level higher than SS-grade?
Soon, Emperor Caesar came out.
He sat on the chair on the high platform, just like yesterday.
The other females, also like yesterday, began to present the treasures they brought or perform their arts, attempting to gain his favor. But the difference was…
Emperor Caesar didn’t point at a few females and select them for his harem like yesterday. Instead, he started killing.
