“Dad, you’re crazy! Don’t do anything foolish! The expert isn’t someone you can mess with!” Dragin was baffled for a second. She hurriedly stopped them, “What are you guys doing? I’m totally willing to work here.”

“Someone I can’t mess with?”

The Dragon King instantly laughed out of anger. He looked at Dragin with pity in his eyes.

Who would willingly work??

The brat must be delusional from abuse.

He said in a low voice, “My daughter, daddy didn’t protect you well. Don’t be scared. Trust me, I’ll bring you justice! You don’t have to work here anymore. Daddy promises you won’t ever have to work again!”

“I don’t need your promise. This is an opportunity given to me by the expert. I got lucky. Don’t ruin it!”

Dragin was frantic. She hurriedly took out the fruits and desserts she brought with her. “Every time I finish my chores, I get a lot of delicious food. Look, these are the treasures I got.”

The Dragon King and Fifth Brother looked at the items she took out. They felt their hearts twitch hard. They looked away because they felt bad.

What were those? Some fruits and steamed bread.

Treasures?

‘My dear Dragin, how much torture did you endure? You work just to eat these things?

‘Who could be so cruel? They tortured you until you’re delusional.’

“Seventh Sister, don’t be like this. Wake up.” The Fifth Brother could not breathe because he pitied his sister so much. He sounded extremely sorry for her. He could not hide his anger either. He looked like he was about to kill someone.

Crack!

He instantly destroyed the fruits in front of him, turning them into ashes. “Such humiliation. It’s an insult. We don’t need it!”

“What are you doing?!”

Dragin screamed. She raised her arm and spun the water waves into a Water Dragon figure. She attacked her Fifth Brother and sent him flying.

“Two apples, an orange, and a banana!” Dragin was livid. She yelled with teary eyes, “You have to pay me back!”

“Water Dragon Chant?!” The Dragon King was shocked. His eyes and jaw were wide open. He was disoriented as he asked, “Where did you learn that from?”

Dragin had no time to acknowledge him. She rushed over to her Fifth Brother and started tugging at his clothes. She struggled as if she hated him. “Pay me back, you have to pay me back!”

“Okay, okay, we have a lot of those.” The Fifth Brother immediately gestured and a beautiful Clam Demon served up a bunch of fruits. “Look, we have everything. All types of it!”

Dragin almost cried. “You have nothing! I want my apples, my orange, and banana!”

The Fifth Brother was puzzled. He looked at the Dragon King helplessly.

The Dragon King also helplessly shook his head. They exchanged looks.

It seemed like their Dragin was mentally unstable from her abuse. It was not good to agitate her.

However, she knew how to perform a Water Dragon Chant attack. It was a legendary skill that was extinct among their kind. Where did she learn it from? Perhaps she was abused and somehow her Dragon instinct from an eldritch era was awakened?

The Dragon King smiled calmly. “Alright, my sweet daughter. We’ll pay you back later. Calm down.”

Dragin felt upset. “How can you pay me back when you don’t have it? I worked all day for the apple and orange! Boohoo...”

Such little payment for a whole day’s worth of work? What a cheapskate!

The Dragon King was furious and sorrowful.

“My dear daughter, us Dragons don’t have much, but we do have a lot of treasures. What don’t we have in this realm?” comforted the Dragon King. He arrogantly waved and boasted, “It’s just a few fruits, right? Don’t worry, my dear daughter. I can get whatever you want and I’ll let you eat as much as you want from now on.”

“Liar.” Dragin frowned. She took out her last orange and gave the Dragon King a slice. “These fruits are different. Try it first.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll try it now. My precious daughter brought food back for her father to eat. I’m so glad to be your dad.”

The Dragon King chuckled and simply put the orange slice in his mouth. “Hm, yummy. Hm... Hm?”

His eyes widened. His crown fell off as he screamed in disbelief, “Holy Mother of God!”

The Fifth Brother jumped at his reaction. Perhaps father was going along with the Seventh Sister? What professional acting. Maybe this was fatherly love.

Suddenly, the Tortoise Chancellor rushed in. “Dragon King, ten thousand crustacean soldiers have been gathered. Please, give us your orders, Dragon King!”

The Fifth Brother was immediately intrigued. He quickly said, “Get that senseless fella!”

The Dragon King looked at him. He looked emotionless as he pointed and said, “Tie this unscrupulous son up first!”

“Father, there’s no need.” The Fifth Brother was slightly baffled. “There’s a limit to acting, right?”

“Do you know what you just did?” The Dragon King stared at him with teary eyes. “You destroyed two apples, an orange, and a banana!”

The Fifth Brother was even more baffled. “Yeah, so what?”

“Idiot, you pig!” The Dragon King pointed at him and scolded him but he still felt like it was not enough. He waved and said, “Hurry up and drag him outside. Give him a hundred spanks.”

“Father, that’s not necessary. What’s going on? Why? Don’t you have fatherly love for me?”

The voice of the Fifth Brother gradually faded away. Then, it was followed by sounds of hard spanking and his painful screams.

“Phew—that’s better.” The Dragon King sighed heavily. He looked at the remaining fruits and carefully held them up like they were the ultimate treasures. He had that unbelievable gaze.

His voice was trembling as he said, “Dragin, these fruits... Where did you get them from?”

Dragin said, “I told you, right? The expert gave them to me.”

“This...”

The Dragon King’s eyes widened. He had goosebumps all over. “You... You’re not kidding me?”

They were Spiritual Fruits that contained the Power of Law. In eldritch eras, it was rare getting to eat one of these. Now, it appeared in the Immortal Realm, but more importantly, who would give it away?

“Believe it or not.” Dragin was not in a good mood.

Soon, the hundred-spank punishment was over. The Fifth Brother was brought in by two Prawn Soldiers. His butt was slightly swollen.

He looked at the Dragon King oddly and complained, “Father, I don’t understand.”

The Dragon King hesitated for a long while. Then he pinched a slice of orange. He sighed and said, “Try it.”

The Fifth Brother bafflingly took the orange slice and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and it made a ‘squish’ sound.

Then, his eyes were wide open. He was stumped.

His mind was buzzing and he was in a daze. He felt weak all over and asked as he trembled, “Fa...father, the four fruits I just destroyed... Are... Are they also such magical fruits?”

“What do you think?”

“I... I...” The Fifth Brother’s lips were trembling. He looked lost and helpless. He said, “I think I’m an idiotic pig. Please, continue with the whipping and spanking. Don’t have mercy on me.”

His heart thumped hard. He would do anything to turn back time.

Four Spiritual Fruits were destroyed?!

What was the meaning of being alive in the realm? He was not worthy!

He felt like a beggar who had come across an antique vase and smashed it, thinking it was just a normal vase only to find out later that it was worth billions. More importantly, this beggar smashed four antique vases in one go!

The feeling of despair.

God was freaking playing with him!

Dragin scoffed. She pouted and asked, “Can you pay me back for the fruits?”

The Dragon King and the Fifth Brother shook their heads at the same time. “No.”

The Fifth Brother asked in disbelief, “Dragin, you get to eat fruits like that just from working?”

Dragin nodded, “Yeah.”

The Fifth Brother had tears in his eyes from envy. “Such a good deal... Any positions available for hire? I don’t have any strengths aside from being hardworking!”

Dragin scoffed, “Nope, don’t even think about it!”

The Fifth Brother shamelessly said, “My good sister, help your brother out. I’m begging you.”

“Move aside!” The Dragon King picked up the Fifth Brother and tossed him aside. “You are miles behind your sister. How would the expert ever be impressed by you?”

The Dragon King insulted him hard. Then, he recommended himself, “Dear daughter, tell the expert that if workers are required, he can find me. I can even clean the toilet. I don’t need a lot of payment. One fruit per day would be okay.”

Dragin still shook her head.

“Joking.”

The Dragon King fake-smiled. Then, he looked serious. “Dragin, you’re lucky to be chosen by an expert like that. This is a huge opportunity, seize it well. The expert makes you work as part of your training. You must complete the tasks wholeheartedly! Don’t go today, let my minions train you. You must learn how to do chores well and aim for perfect execution.”

Dragin said, “I don’t need you all to teach me. I have someone teaching me already.”

“The expert gave you a tutor?”

The Dragon King was surprised. Then, he remembered, “Oh, yeah. Dragin, did the expert teach you how to perform the Water Dragon Chant?”

“No,” Dragin shook her head and said with a serious face. “It’s a big secret. I promised not to tell anyone.”

The Dragon King and the Fifth Brother looked at each other. Then, they ordered everyone around them, “All of you, out! Get away from here!”

“Dear daughter, we’re your closest family. Are you going to keep secrets from us?” The Dragon King convinced, “It’s just us here. Who else would know if we don’t tell anyone?”

Dragin looked troubled. She groaned for a moment and said, “You have to promise me not to tell anyone. You have to keep it a secret.”

The Fifth Brother nodded seriously. “No worries, Seventh Sister. Since the beginning of time, keeping secrets has always been the forte of the Dragon kind.”

“Alright then.” Dragin took a deep breath and lowered her voice. She said in a mysterious voice, “I met our ancestor!”

Gasp—

The Dragon King and the Fifth Brother gasped at the same time. They were more shocked at that than the Spiritual Fruit. “For real?”

Dragin immediately said, “Of course. It was saved by the expert. I learned a lot of tricks and skills from it!”

“An ancestor of our Dragon kind is alive?”

The Dragon King and the Fifth Brother were flushed from excitement. “Blessed be the Dragons, blessed be the Dragons!”

“We Dragons owe the expert a lot!”

The Dragon King was slightly flustered.”Not only did the expert save our ancestor, but he also kept you. He’s so nice to the Dragons. Perhaps it’s because he had a good past with the Dragon kind of the eldritch era?”

The Fifth Brother said in a trembling voice, “Who knew we Dragons would encounter such an expert. We have to be his bootlickers no matter what!”

“Naturally! Even our ancestor’s doing so. How can we not follow suit?”

The Dragon King looked serious. He was emotional from anxiety and a mix of feelings. He did not know what to do. “Please him. We have to think of ways to please the expert!”

He kept pacing back and forth in the palace. “Not sure what the expert would like. Dragin, you’re around the expert a lot. What do you think we should send as a gift?”

“Hm... I think the expert likes food. Maybe we should send him some seafood,” answered Dragin.

“Good idea.” The Dragon King had sparkles in his eyes. He immediately gave the orders, “Inform the Prawn Soldiers to pick a few big prawns from the nearby coastline. For the Crab Soldiers, tell them to pick a few fat crabs. Remember, the quality must be outstanding! Train them hard so that their meat will be scrumptious when caught to ensure good texture.”

“It’s not good enough. It’s too cheap. I have to take a look inside the Dragon Palace Vault. We have to show our sincerity!”
