Tower Ascension - Chapter 95

“That’s a very long introduction but you still haven’t told me how are you going to merge with me?” Peter asked with a daunting expression in his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel helpless with this dragon’s bragging and trash-talking.

“Ahem! I was just showing you my greatness. I am the greatest dragon you could ever find. I am best at destruction. I am best at creation. I am best at the soul. I am best at running away. I am best at making chaos. And, I am also best at the bed which logically makes me best at the transformation.” The dragon kept bragging about himself while Peter felt like pounding him.

But, he controlled himself. No matter how much he bragged, he was still the dragon and a Holy Dragon on top of that. He can’t just go and beat him. Peter took a deep breath and said “So, can we merge now?”

“Alright! Alright!” The dragon instantly saw the irritation that was overflowing on his body and instantly agreed. Slowly, the dragon glowed in golden light. A few seconds later, a yellow light sparked out of the dragon as the golden light dimmed down.

But, as the golden light started dimming, the yellow light became golden and started shining as the gold should shine. It slowly started taking the form of a dragon and instantly shot towards Peter’s chest.

“Alright boys, let me handle your body for a moment. Don’t worry, I know you trust nobody but I am not some pity being who can’t distinguish between opportunity and profit.”

The dragon’s voice rang in his mind as he slowly turned unconscious. Inside the bottom of the pond, his gills started disappearing as he lost his consciousness. But the next moment, his eyes suddenly opened as they released the golden light.

And, he also spread his arms out. The next moment, a small whirlpool appeared around. As the whirlpool appeared, Peter’s body floated in the middle while the golden light kept coming out of him. Slowly, an image of a golden dragon appeared around him and the enormous golden light poured inside him.

The whirlpool got bigger as the golden light pouring on him grew more. The whirlpool was squeezing in the golden light which had strange energy in it. The light itself wasn’t just a light rather it was a golden essence that had produced light.

Slowly, his body started cracking, or rather his bones. His muscles started tearing apart but the blood didn’t gush out. At this moment, his veins had no blood and for the moment, his heartbeat completely stopped.

As the more golden essence reached his body, the more changes became visible. He was slowly growing the nails in the form of the claw. His arms started growing the scales that were golden and pretty rough as well.

But, the process was going pretty long. It was slow as well.

While this was happening, it was already the third day outside. And, it wasn’t just Zhao Ming and Sunny. There were John, Alexa, and Alice. They were sitting near the hole while there was a fire in front of them.

Near the flames, there were dozens of dead bodies.

“How much more do you think will come?” Zhao Ming turned his head at Sunny and asked.

She shook her head and said “I am not sure. There might be more but currently, they are considering whether to take the risk or not. And, it’s just not the humans that we must fear. The endless vitality in the pond will slowly attract the monsters. We need to be prepared to face them as well.”

“What? Why didn’t you tell us before?” Alexa shouted at her upon hearing her words. She got furious when she found that this woman has somehow become Peter’s concubine. And now, she got a chance to release her fury. How could she let go of this opportunity?

“I am telling you, Ming. This woman is endangering Peter’s life. We should end her right now.” The anger was swelling inside her and she was taking it all out at once. This made Zhao Ming, Alice, and John confused for a moment.

Three of them didn’t understand why she was so desperate in accusing Sunny.

“Do you think I would put my life at risk by telling him the source of Holy Dragon Luck? Do you think I am an idiot? There are countless people wanting to get their hands on this. And, I even betrayed someone just to tell this news to him. Do you think I can go back and surrender after everything I’ve done?” Sunny couldn’t help but get irritated by her words.

She got the feeling of jealousy from her. And, this made her jealous as well. She didn’t like sharing her man with others. No matter how much she can decide to give up, and no matter how much she tried to convince him, she still didn’t like sharing her man to others.

And, it was even more frustrating when she knew found how much better Alexa was. Although she wasn’t that great by beauty but considering her talent, she was far above her. This made her jealousy soar. That’s why she didn’t hold back this time and shouted at her face.

Alexa didn’t expect to respond from her. For most of the time, she had just ignored her words. But now, she could feel the rage burning in her. She clenched her fist and said, “If you can betray someone once, why can’t you betray someone twice?”

When Sunny heard those words, she got silent for a moment. Suddenly, the jealousy that she had vanished, and a trace of doubt emerged in her heart. Was she wrong about her feelings? Was she just trying to use him?

Before she had this thought but now she didn’t feel like she was just using him. She was genuinely trying to win over him. And, she also does that by winning over his team. The only obstacle was Alexa. As for Alice, she didn’t even consider her a threat.

“What? Silent? Don’t a word? See! I told you. If she can betray someone once, she won’t hesitate to do it again. We shouldn’t have trusted her from the beginning.” Alexa didn’t hesitate to use this moment to make her even more desperate and leave.

This is all she can do now. After all, she can’t possibly try to convince Peter. She isn’t ready yet. She doesn’t even know how to tell him about ‘that’.

But, Sunny quickly took a deep breath and spoke “I don’t care what you think about me. Peter has already taken me as his concubine and I have already promised not to betray him ever. And, who are you to speak? You aren’t his lover. You are just his friend who is together to cross these floors.”

“Once you reach the top, you will eventually leave him. So, what right do you have to interfere between me and Peter?”

Her words were so sharp that Alexa didn’t even know how to answer them. She wanted to rebuke but the words didn’t come out of her mouth. She couldn’t confess anything here as well.

Bang!

But, suddenly, Zhao Ming stood up and slammed the end of the spear on the ground. His move instantly made everyone look at him as he spoke.

“We don’t have the energy to waste in these pointless conversations. If you two have any problem with relationships, fix it with him, don’t make the situation hard for us. Right now, he is trying to absorb Holy Dragon Luck down.”

“And, our job is to protect him until he returns. So, save your energy to face off against enemies rather than facing each other.”

Saying so, he sat down and closed his eyes. At this moment, he knew Peter was going to get stronger and the only way to be close to him is to get stronger. He wasn’t going to waste this chance. For him, the battles are the best way to get stronger.

But, he could easily get overwhelmed in the battle if he fights alone. That’s why he needs a team that can help him. He opens his eyes and looked at John saying “Let’s go and train a bit!”

John got startled but happily nodded his head. While they were leaving, Alice spoke “Don’t wear yourself out!”

“Don’t worry, we aren’t stupid like some people.” Zhao Ming answered while walking away.

His words made Sunny and Alexa turns red with embarrassment. Alice raised her head at them and muttered “Stupid!”

Her words turned their embarrassment into anger but seeing her cute and lovely face, both of them didn’t get the courage to say anything to her. At this moment, Sunny leaned closer to Alexa and asked “Why don’t you try hitting on that John guy rather than trying to do something impossible?”

Her words made Alexa furious as she clenched her fist and said “You bitch…. Why don’t you lay down with him in a bed and let his d**k go inside you?”

“Arara! Are you suggesting me to cu*kold Peter? Do you want me to tell him that you were suggesting something like that?” Sunny smirked at her and continued to tease her.

“You bitch!” Alexa shouted while thrusting her fist.
