Chapter 697: On Winning Over the Dragon Clan
Chapter 697: On Winning Over the Dragon Clan
After Zhong Feng's explanation, Princess Koko nodded gently, showing her understanding.
With a major war looming, Su Yu indeed needed to prioritize the conflict over personal matters.
Besides, he didn't even know about her secret crush. It was normal that he hadn't come to Dragon Island to see her.
...
But right now, Zhong Feng had other ideas brewing in his mind.
His thoughts weren't directed at Princess Koko, but rather at the entire Skrull dragon clan.
If possible, Zhong Feng wanted the dragon clan to stand against the Skrulls, ideally sparking a conflict between them, which would give the humans of Earth a significant advantage.
So, he tentatively said, "Princess Koko, even if your entire clan agrees to your relationship with Su Yu, there are still some complications."
"What complications?" Koko looked at him, her big, watery eyes blinking.
"The complication is that Su Yu is a human from Earth," Zhong Feng shrugged. "Don't forget, in this war, the Skrulls plan to exterminate the human race on Earth, including Su Yu. If we lose this war, Su Yu will die, and your secret crush will be for nothing. Unless you can convince your entire clan to stand with Earth and help us win this war, ensuring Su Yu survives, you won't have a future together."
"Ah! That..." Hearing this, Princess Koko was taken aback.
Getting the dragons to help the humans defeat the Skrulls? How was that even possible?
If a poll were taken on Dragon Island, out of the two to three thousand dragons, no more than five would agree to help the humans.
Even the Blue Dragon King himself wouldn't have the power to persuade the populace to stand against the Skrulls.
But if they didn't help the humans, Su Yu might really die...
Thinking of this, Princess Koko felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She certainly wouldn't betray her clan's interests for love, but did that mean she could only watch Su Yu die?
...
Zhong Feng was skilled at reading people's expressions.
Although it was his first time reading a dragon, he could tell from Koko's emotions what she was thinking.
So, Zhong Feng quickly added, "Hey, Princess Koko, I'm not encouraging you to betray your clan's interests to help us humans. I'm just saying that if one day, standing with the humans of Earth becomes more beneficial than standing with the Skrulls, I hope you'll choose us."
Koko looked at him.
Currently, the benefits of siding with the Skulls far outweighed helping the humans.
If the situation ever changed as Zhong Feng described, switching sides wasn't out of the question.
"I can agree to that," Princess Koko nodded after some thought. "But it's not my decision. I'll tell my mother when she returns."
"Good," Zhong Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
After all this talk, it was reassuring to see some progress.
...
With that topic temporarily aside, Zhong Feng prepared to discuss the main issue: exchanging Master-level potions for resources.
But before he could speak, the sound of many dragon wings flapping echoed from outside the cave.
Accompanied by the flapping wings, a young, urgent male dragon's voice called from outside, "Koko, are you okay? I heard your voice and rushed over immediately!"
Hearing this voice, Princess Koko's face fell, her displeasure almost spilling over.
"Who is this?" Zhong Feng asked.
There's definitely a story behind this!
"He's the guy my mom wants me to marry. He's a complete idiot!" Koko said with a dark look on her face.
"That's not a nice thing to say," Zhong Feng wiped his sweat, "Even if you like Su Yu, you shouldn't belittle a member of your own clan like this."
"You just don't understand the situation," Koko glared at him. "He really is an idiot!"
"Uh..."
Koko glanced at the dragon shadow flying towards the cave and sighed, "His brain hasn't developed normally since he was a kid. He's done countless embarrassing things.
I won't go into the stupid things he did as a child, but even now, he almost challenges every dragon he doesn't recognize to a duel, for all sorts of reasons, like 'I'm in a good mood today' or 'The weather is nice today,' and the next thing you know, he's challenging them to a duel...
I can guarantee that he'll challenge you to a duel within three sentences of meeting you!"
"Is that so?" Zhong Feng's mouth twitched.
A personality like that wouldn't be well-received among humans either. No wonder Koko doesn't want to marry him.
...
As they were talking, a young male white dragon flew into the cave, accompanied by three or forty other dragons of various colors.
However, these dragons were just there to see what was going on.
They had heard Princess Koko's excited dragon call and decided to come and see what was happening.
...
The young male white dragon who flew in was named Daniel, the only son of the third elder of the White Dragon Clan.
As soon as he entered the cave, he saw his fiancee Koko (even though Koko doesn't acknowledge it, Daniel has always considered her his fiancee) with a small black dragon he had never seen before.
"Ah ha!" Daniel bellowed, flapping his wings, "Koko, no wonder you don't want to marry me! You're cheating on me with this black dragon!"
Koko's face turned dark, and she turned away, ignoring him.
"And you!" Daniel's gaze focused entirely on Zhong Feng, "You dare to seduce my fiancee! I challenge you to a duel!"
Zhong Feng: "..."
He was truly amazed. Daniel accused him of a crime and challenged him to a duel the moment they met. What a peculiar personality.
"You've got it all wrong. I just arrived on Dragon Island for the first time today..." Zhong Feng tried to explain humbly.
After all, as a human from Earth in a different world, it was best to be cautious and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
But Daniel wouldn't listen to his explanation.
"Enough talk! I can see you're guilty!" Daniel interrupted, "Let's start the duel now!"
With that, Daniel pulled out a chessboard-like object from his storage space.
He threw the "chessboard" into the sky, and it rapidly expanded, enveloping both of them.
Before Zhong Feng could react, his surroundings had changed.
He found himself in another space, standing on a platform that looked like an arena, with black and white squares beneath his feet.
More importantly, his power was severely suppressed by the chessboard, reduced to about one-tenth of his usual strength, bringing him down to the fifth rank.
At the same time, Daniel's loud voice echoed in his ears, "Welcome to the Chessboard Duel Arena!"
