I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 862

Chapter 75: Eating Soft Rice with Justification

Leaving Robert’s room, Roy stood at the base of the castle, staring blankly at the banquet in the courtyard.

The power of the Black Dragon surpassed all other dragonkind—

If even the Lionheart King, who faced the Crimson Blood Fire Dragon, was cautious, Roy naturally could not afford to be careless.

In the distance, the banquet was still in full swing; the crimson girl was like a vivid flame, shining brilliantly in the crowd.

In times of war, it’s hard to attend to a lady. Even now, a princess of the realm was in tattered clothes, with dried bloodstains on her body, but just like scars are a warrior’s honor, the marks from her battle against the Devouring King were her achievements, decorations forged in blood and fire.

Like a ruby emerging from the flames, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Being at Sequence 4 signified being beyond the extraordinary, comparable to mythical beings—once upon a time, that was a realm Roy couldn’t even dare to dream of. And unlike Alice, who had to be cautious of the goddess’s power, Charlotte had truly relied on herself to reach high status.

If he could, Roy really wanted to just hug the princess’s soft, fluffy white legs and live off her.

No need to mention being served hand and foot; the princess who commanded the kingdom during the day transformed into a clingy little kitten begging for affection at night.

Just thinking about it was soothing!

Unfortunately, it was just a thought.

Roy suppressed the smile of a soft rice-eater, his gaze turned serious.

Crolyan had been somewhat careless.

However, with Charlotte’s current strength and a few elite mid-level fighters, taking down Marigold really wasn’t a problem.

Fire beats ice. The distant flame after reaching high ranks greatly exceeded that of the Crimson Blood Fire Dragon, and the power of “Blood Fire Sharing” was enough to withstand the bloodline awakening of the Ice Dragon.

Yet, Nidhogg was a threat that could not be ignored.

Robert’s injuries would not heal; he couldn’t return to the battlefield.

The other side didn’t say it outright, but Roy could see everything from that shameful yet hopeful look in his eyes.

To counter Nidhogg, he could only rely on himself.

Well, the princess was working so hard, so how could he, a sworn knight, possibly lose to her?

Not participating in the banquet, Roy directly took Cheeseball’s hand and headed for the royal treasure vault.

The griffins, under their master’s instruction, were frolicking about; just as they were having a great time with Cake, Cheeseball was not pleased.

“Big brother, why aren’t you off finding your red-haired wife for some cuddles and are bothering me instead?”

“Enough chatter, you’ll find out soon.”

The body of a mythical creature was a rare strategic resource, and the corpse of the Devouring King was quickly brought back. However, the more precious the extraordinary material, the harder it was to process; with the city under siege, the royal family couldn’t afford to utilize this hard-to-come-by dragon material.

But Roy’s methods of usage were straightforward and brutal.

Under the complex gaze of the Golden-Winged Griffin, he stepped forward and reached into the Devouring King’s ravaged chest, quickly pulling out a massive, black-green object.

It was the heart of the dragon pierced by the Breath of the Flame King.

Roy was overjoyed.

Indeed, it was a dragon; its physique was sturdy.

He had previously worried that the Devouring King’s heart would be turned to ash, leaving him with nothing useful.

The hearts of the Seven Celestial Dragons were second only to the Certificate of Kingship, ranking as top-tier extraordinary materials from demigod relics—what a waste it would be not to use such spoils!

Having obtained the king’s consent beforehand, along with his relationship with Charlotte, he could claim this soft rice with full justification!

“Big brother, you’re really hungry, huh?”

Roy, holding half a dragon heart, paused in surprise, “Huh?”

Cheeseball hesitated, “I understand you hate dragonkind, but people shouldn’t—at least they must not.”

“Eating dragon corpses is a bit much; you should at least cook it first.”

Roy rolled his eyes, “Get out of here, what are you thinking? When did I say I wanted to eat this thing?!”

The bloodline of the False King wasn’t something to be trifled with!

Without further ado, Roy activated his bloodline power to show Cheeseball what for.

【Detected source extraordinary material!】

【Consolidated the bloodline power of Arachnoid Dragon Crolyan!】

【Dragon King’s Blessing】:

【Acid Corruption】: The corrosive magic poison brewed by Arachnoid Dragon Crolyan, though its power is limited, is extremely corrosive and carries a weakening effect, even capable of corroding magic.

【Void Corruption】: The exhalation of Arachnoid Dragon Crolyan, condensing a large amount of magic toxin in high pressure.

The sight of the Acid Dragon swooping down from the sky, raining terrifying acid, was undeniably frightening.

But right now, this power that made the knights of the kingdom tremble had become his own.

The corrosive effect is limited against foes of the same rank but can still offer a degree of weakening — now he could let the dragon race taste what it was like to have their bones gnawed and hearts burned—literally.

But as a good big brother, how could he forget his little brother?

“Mother dearest, do you still remember how to brew that secret potion we talked about earlier?”

“Sigh, it’s like calling upon a whimsical tool, am I your ring-bound servant?”

“Dear Mother, could you please hurry up?” Roy pleaded in a clingy tone.

In the royal tomb, Rowlin shivered, almost scattering her soul.

“Fine, just call me mother then.”

“As for the secret potion, first this, then that… hmm, considering Nidhogg’s pollution, it’s best to process the dragon blood first.”

Rowlin ran around seeking the Certificate of Kingship back in the day, collecting a bunch of random potion knowledge.

Among them was a royal secret potion that could enhance griffin bloodline power. Unfortunately, she hadn’t the chance to inform the Reinhardt family before passing, but now this knowledge came in handy.

Roy had previously gotten materials from the royal apothecary; the most crucial dragon blood was now also at hand.

Following Rowlin’s instructions, Roy poured the herbs into the crucible and started operating—it wasn’t too difficult.

The troublesome part was the dragon blood.

Fresh dragon blood was the primary ingredient for the potion. The conflict between griffins and dragons could be traced back to the First Era; the blood of these rivals could awaken their dormant bloodlines.

But Nidhogg had tainted the entire dragon race. If the dragon blood wasn’t purified first, it could have irreversible effects on Cheeseball.

Roy entered the Devouring King’s body again and extracted a vial of thick blood.

The acid dragon’s blood was also corrosive; as soon as it got in, the glass vial began to smoke.

But the real horror was Nidhogg’s pollution.

Roy quickly cast Purification.

Holy Light also had purifying powers, but high purity holy water was too strong and could weaken the dragon race’s strength.

Pure water light blossomed and seeped into the cloudy blood, and though there wasn’t much visible change, Roy could distinctly feel some ominous presence slowly fading away, and the power within the dragon’s blood calmed down significantly.

After pouring the treated dragon blood into the crucible and stirring it, the final concoction resulted in a gooey, bubbling mass, a viscous mixture of red and green — the griffin secret potion was complete!

Even though it was his first attempt at potion-making, with Rowlin’s knowledge, it wasn’t as hard as he had imagined!

Roy smiled with a sense of accomplishment, bringing the potion before Cheeseball: “Drink up.”

“This secret potion is very precious, so hurry and drink it!”
