Xuefeng's palms were pressed firmly against her breasts when the Dragon Queen lifted one of them and placed it on her neck. He gently choked her and she only smiled in return, continuing chatting as if it was nothing.
"About the thing that you asked earlier, you don't need to worry about the Elders' deaths. I have three candidates that I really dislike and planned to get rid of them anyway. You will actually do me a favor by killing them," the Dragon Queen pointed out while biting her lip in pleasure. "Mhmm… You can squeeze harder if you want…"
'What do you think? Are the Dragon Bloodline and the Earth Flame worth taking the deal?' Xuefeng questioned in his mind, already thinking of increasing the stakes if he were forced to bend his morals.
'If you were to ask me I would say yes… but that only depends on how you feel about having thousands of your kids being born,' Ming replied casually. 'I myself have thousands of kids that I don't even see, so I don't find it problematic. If you ask any of your other wives though, they might find it unfair and want to have one as well. You can't have your cake and eat it too.'
Xuefeng couldn't help but feel conflicted. It wasn't like he hated the idea of having kids in the future. He wanted to give each of his wives a child after they settle down but the Dragon Queen wasn't his woman. Unless he decided to make her his wife, he would find it weird to have kids with her.
'I think you don't need to worry and simply change your mentality,' Ling added, joining the conversation. 'How many times did you already use your body to increase your strength? Just think of it as a necessary step in your cultivation path. Unless you want to kill her and be responsible for the collapse of the whole Race, you have to take what you are given. You don't even need to think much about it to decide.'
Xuefeng gazed at the Dragon Queen's eyes and sighed, knowing he couldn't bring himself to pick the path of slaughter. Once he decided to do so, there was no turning back anymore. He didn't want to kill the humanity in him for the sake of a simple power-up.
"Why are you sighing? Are you not satisfied with the deal?" the Dragon Queen asked concerned but Xuefeng didn't reply. If he were to agree, he had to test something.
His right hand suddenly increased in size and covered with black scales. The Dragon Queen's eyes widened at the sight of the Dragon Claw on her neck but Xuefeng didn't give her time to react. He gripped her throat with newly awakened physical strength and pinned her to the door.
The Dragon Queen immediately reached up to grasp onto his arm and pull him away but she could only move him by an inch before they locked in a stalemate. It was Xuefeng who was the most surprised, not expecting he could actually rival the Dragon Queen's strength even though his Dragon Bloodline didn't have any time to mature.
"This claw…" the Dragon Queen voiced out amazed while squinting her eyes at him. "What are you trying to do?"
"Well, you tell me. Why do you trust me so much?" Xuefeng asked calmly. "I'm just a stranger yet you give me such intimate deals. What if I accepted your Dragon Bloodline and decided to bail out? If I can stop you with just one Dragon Claw, imagine what I would be capable of if my Dragon Bloodline was complete."
"I'm actually amazed at its power which makes my idea even more tempting," the Dragon Queen muttered without panicking. "Also, you shouldn't underestimate me. Would I be a Dragon Queen if I was weak?"
Just as she spoke, Xuefeng frowned, seeing a black flame burst out from the Dragon Queen's hands. It wrapped around her arms and her strength increased drastically. Not only did she push him away with ease but his scales burned as well.
The Dragon Queen no longer played around and allowed the flame to burn across her body which covered her with a beautiful set of black scales. It looked like a shiny bodysuit that wrapped her curves tightly where even a black widow would be jealous.
'This flame!' Ming and Ling exclaimed in surprise and Xuefeng was no different. He naturally tried to control the black flames with his Fire Stone but they didn't listen to him at all.
"I think I might have not been clear from the very beginning," the Dragon Queen began while gracefully walking up to him. "If you think that you can get a Dragon Bloodline without cooperating with me then I'm here to tell you that it will be a hard task."
Xuefeng didn't need his wives's confirmation to know what he had to deal with. "It's an Earth Flame, right? You can control it?"
"So you know about the Flames of Creation? I guess I shouldn't be surprised," the Dragon Queen commented as she casually displayed the flame on her palm. "Not only can I control it but I also absorbed a part of the Earth Flame into my body. I'm telling you about it cause I don't want to ruin this chance and wish to work together."
She extinguished the black flame and added, "I'm of course not that stupid to fully trust you as I know you can become much stronger after I'm done with my part of the deal. To secure your part, I want us to make a Bloodline Pact if that's okay with you. I'm sure you already know what it is."
"What kind?" Xuefeng asked as if he knew what it was and his bet was right.
"Not sure what kinds are you familiar with but we have a special altar for Bloodline Pacts. We will set up an array using our blood which will bind our Bloodlines to the contract," the Dragon Queen explained. "If any of us fails to abide by the deal, their bloodline will get destroyed. This way both of us will have to keep our promise."
The Dragon Queen finally extended her hand and asked for the last time, "So? Do you want to help me restore my Race to its previous glory? Just imagine how powerful of an army we could create with our combined Bloodlines."
Xuefeng paused, recalling Drakos' words just before they left. Who would have known that it would lead to this and he had a chance to fuck his mom? Would that make him Drakos' stepdad?
'He can always forgive you when he finds out your reasoning,' Ling pointed out, causing Xuefeng to grab the Dragon Queen's hand for a handshake.
"Alright. I still want more details on what you will do with my seeds but I can more or less agree. I do have one more condition though," Xuefeng informed. "I want to have some of the Earth Flame as well after we are done."
The Dragon Queen didn't even hesitate and nodded, "That's fine. Although it will weaken the Earth Flame, I won't need it as much if I have your pure Bloodline."
"Let's return and have something to drink to seal the deal," Xuefeng suggested, which caused the Dragon Queen to smile.
"I want something else first."
