Tina turned her head to look at Jiang Chen. "Hero, you have earned my recognition. Your strength is considerable. I hope you will treat my daughter kindly in the future."
"I will."
"If one day she wishes to return to the Giant Dragon World, I hope you will agree to release her from the contract."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Tina looked at Olive, her eyes full of affection. "The outside world is dangerous. If one day you miss home, come back to me."
"Remember to take good care of yourself."
Olive seemed to sense something and nodded. "Mom, I will."
"Well, this is a stage you must go through, and there's nothing I can help you with."
Olive tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded, although she didn't understand the meaning of those words.
But Olive was indeed eager to see the outside world.
"I will take good care of her," Jiang Chen affirmed.
"I believe you."
As the Magic Fluctuation occurred, Tina disappeared, leaving only Jiang Chen and Olive behind. Olive began to whimper and cry.
"Little one, you still can't bear to leave your mom, huh? If you're sad, just cry out loud," Jiang Chen said gently.
"No, I'm happy! I can finally go out and play!" Olive exclaimed, her tears quickly forgotten.
Well, you certainly are a carefree little thing, Jiang Chen thought with a slight smile.
He then left with Olive.
Tina silently watched the two depart. This human should protect her, she hoped.
Olive was exceptionally happy, finally able to explore the outside world.
Soon, the two appeared in a small town in the Giant Dragon World.
There, they met Angelina and the other five.
They had been waiting, and seeing Jiang Chen's return reassured them. But what puzzled them was the new little girl by Jiang Chen's side.
The girls exchanged confused glances. Who is this little girl? they wondered.
Angelina rushed over and hugged Jiang Chen. "You're finally back!"
"There's nothing to worry about," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Qiu asked, "Jiang Chen, who is this girl?"
"This is my newly adopted little sister, and she's also my Covenant Beast."
The six of them were bewildered.
"What?"
"I must have misheard, right?"
"Jiang Chen, say that again. She's your Covenant Beast? Then how is she human?"
Jiang Chen smiled. "Olive, say hello to them."
Olive waved her hand proudly and stated, "I am the great Olive, a Dragon clan princess of the Giant Dragon World! Humans, should you not kneel before this noble princess?"
Everyone stared in stunned silence. Jiang Chen just sighed and shrugged.
Alice and the others were shocked by Olive's introduction.
"Jiang Chen, is she a dragon?" Alice asked.
Jiang Chen nodded reluctantly.
"Oh my gods! I've always heard that dragons could transform into humans, but I can't believe it's true!"
"Good heavens! This little girl is actually a Dragon clan princess and Jiang Chen's Covenant Beast! Is she very powerful?"
"Of course! Dragons that can transform into humans are usually very powerful. We've just never seen one before."
The girls looked at Olive incredulously. They were astonished that this little girl was from the Dragon Race, a Dragon clan princess no less, and that Jiang Chen had even managed to secure her as his Covenant Beast.
Angelina, excited, said to Olive, "Hello, I'm Angelina."
"I'm Jiang Chen's sister, Jiang Qiu."
"Alice."
"Muriel."
After they introduced themselves, Jiang Chen said, "Olive, these are my friends. You should call them 'older sister' from now on."
"Older sisters!" Olive said with an excited smile.
"She's so adorable!"
"This little girl is so cute!"
"Jiang Chen, is she really strong?"
Jiang Chen didn't want to speak. It's a sad story, he thought. This girl only knew one type of magic: Covenant Magic. For now, he could only nurture her slowly.
Of course, with Jiang Chen's current strength, he didn't really need any Covenant Beasts.
He could now handle Third-stage Class Experts. Reaching the Third-stage meant being level 150, a hundred levels higher than Jiang Chen. Even with a Covenant Beast, unless it was a Black Dragon or a Thunder Dragon of comparable power, it wouldn't be a match for Jiang Chen's capabilities.
However, those were adult Giant Dragons, and they couldn't form contracts.
「In a hotel room.」
Jiang Chen took out five eggs—three black ones and two Thunder Dragon eggs. He said, "These three are Black Dragon Eggs, aligned with Dark Magic. These two are Thunder Dragon eggs; Thunder Dragons are known for their incredible flight speed. Choose for yourselves!"
Alice and the other four girls were overjoyed.
Alice said, "Jiang Qiu, you pick a Covenant Beast first!"
"I'll take a Black Dragon Egg. I'm a Dark Magic type, so it's more suitable for me," Jiang Qiu said.
Alice nodded. "Caroline, you're a Dark Summoner. Acquiring a Dark Dragon would have a synergistic effect. You should choose a Black Dragon Egg; it suits you best."
"Okay," Caroline agreed.
"Xueli, you're a Ritualist, so you need speed. A Thunder Dragon suits you," Alice continued.
"Good, that's what I was thinking too," Xueli said.
"Muriel, your turn! Choose one," said Alice.
"I'll take a Black Dragon Egg. I'm a Vampire, after all!" Muriel declared.
"Alright, then I'll choose a Thunder Dragon Egg," Alice decided.
After they had made their choices, Jiang Chen took out Red Dragon's Heart Crystals and distributed them among the five girls, instructing them on how to hatch the Dragon Eggs and establish contracts.
Olive asked, "What about older sister Angelina?"
"Oh, I already have one! Mine is a Golden Dragon, a Destruction-type Dragon Egg," Angelina replied cheerfully.
Olive nodded. "Yes, the Destruction element is very strong, especially Destruction Magic. It's the most powerful kind of magic; even my mother is quite wary of Destruction Magic."
Jiang Chen's eyes brightened. "Right, your mother... what kind of magic was that spell she used?"
"You mean that little sphere?" Olive asked.
"Yes."
"That's Five Elements Magic fused together. It's a type of Chaos Magic, and it's just as powerful as Destruction Magic!"
"Magic can be fused?" Jiang Chen asked, surprised.
"Of course! Once your Covenant Beasts mature, they'll need to learn Dragon Race magic. Our Dragon Race magic is similar to Human Race magic. But Big Brother, since you're a Swordsman, you can't learn magic," Olive explained.
Olive, while enjoying the delicious food, exclaimed, "The food here is so tasty!"
"If it's tasty, then eat more," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
「Meanwhile, in the Human World.」
「In a conference room.」
A man sat to one side—he was a member of the Carmen Family. Long Zhantian and two other Envoys of Judgement were seated on a high platform.
Standing below the platform was Chiyoshima Hitomi.
Chiyoshima Hitomi remained expressionless.
One of the Envoys of Judgement questioned harshly, "Chiyoshima Hitomi, how did you achieve your Second-stage advancement and kill the Second-stage Demon King, Huo Qiya?"
"I had help."
"Was that person Jiang Chen?"
"Yes."
"In the rift, did you encounter Angel Marian and the young master of the Carmen Family, Carmen Gold?"
"No."
"You're lying! Angel Marian also went to complete that mission. Why haven't they returned? Chiyoshima, I'll give you one chance: were Angel Marian and Carmen Gold killed by Jiang Chen?"
Chiyoshima Hitomi replied, "I don't know what you're talking about. I've completed the Alliance of All-Gods' mission, and I am now a Second-stage Divine Envoy."
Long Zhantian frowned deeply. "Croft, are you interrogating her, or do you have an issue with our Dragon Zone Alliance Hero?"
Croft snorted coldly. "Long Zhantian, the young master of the Carmen Family has disappeared, and Angel Marian has also disappeared. I have to suspect that Jiang Chen killed them."
"Croft, you need evidence to make such accusations! It's normal for Heroes to die in rifts. Just because Marian was a Divine Envoy doesn't mean she's immune to death, does it? Besides, Marian was facing a Second-stage Demon King. Are you not aware of how formidable a Second-stage Demon King can be?"
For a moment, Croft didn't know how to retort.
