Chapter 140: Meet-and-Greet

To go and see that angel...

After a brief contemplation, Huang Ze agreed to the proposal.

After all, he was genuinely interested in creatures like angels and even felt a certain degree of curiosity, wanting to verify one thing: would this captured angel happen to be the very same one that had fought him back then?

However, that angel was currently imprisoned in the central region and could not be released easily. Therefore, to meet it, the black dragon would have to make a trip over there.

Huang Ze readily agreed to this as well.

In fact, he was just planning to head back north to check on the conditions of his hellhound and phoenix, while also seeing if there was a chance to capture a few more transcendent creatures to keep as pets.

"Let me participate in a public meet-and-greet?"

Huang Ze had just finished his current workload and was planning to take a quick nap to meet the little red dragon in a dream before setting off for the central region, when Liu Weihan suddenly rushed over and made a request.

He hoped that the black dragon could hold large-scale open-air meet-and-greets in several major cities along the way, allowing citizen friends to observe and interview it.

"Yes, Mr. Huang."

Liu Weihan said with some embarrassment, "Currently, many people are extremely interested in your existence and hope to deepen their understanding of you through close observation and communication."

"After research and discussion, our relevant departments also believe this is an excellent promotional strategy. Not only can it quickly close the distance between Mr. Huang and the broad masses of our compatriots, but it can also satisfy everyone's spiritual needs to a certain extent, helping them stay away from the superstition of deities."

"Therefore, we sincerely hope... Mr. Huang, that you can agree to our request."

"...Alright."

Huang Ze thought for a moment and agreed.

Putting himself in their shoes, if he were to find out that his country actually possessed a legendary dragon, he would undoubtedly be extremely curious and dream of observing it up close.

Therefore, he felt that taking the time to hold a few meet-and-greets to satisfy everyone's curiosity would not be a bad thing.

"However, for this meet-and-greet of ours... shouldn't we charge an admission fee?"

Huang Ze couldn't help asking.

"Charge an admission fee..."

Liu Weihan was slightly stunned, then said, "That is indeed only fitting. How much does Mr. Huang think we should charge per person?"

"I get to set the price?"

Huang Ze's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Does it not need approval from the Price Bureau?"

"No, it doesn't. As long as it's not too high or outrageous, we will fully accept Mr. Huang's opinion."

Liu Weihan said with a smile, "Moreover, aside from the necessary operating costs, all ticket and advertising revenue will belong entirely to Mr. Huang."

"Doesn't that feel a bit inappropriate..."

Huang Ze was in a great mood, but outwardly he said, "We still have to pay taxes, after all..."

"Alright, since Mr. Huang has such civic awareness, we will definitely help you file your taxes."

Liu Weihan fought hard to keep from laughing, wondering if the black dragon would still be able to smile if it knew that nearly half of its income would be deducted in taxes.

"I think the ticket price should be set at 200 yuan per person... Any higher would be a bit too greedy!"

Huang Ze was still quite reasonable and didn't drive the price up too high, choosing a price point that most people could accept.

If it were him, he would certainly be willing to spend two hundred yuan to get up close and personal with a dragon.

"Alright, I'll go arrange it right away."

Liu Weihan said with a smile, "By tomorrow evening at the earliest, Mr. Huang, you can make your appearance at the provincial sports center."

"You might need to do some preliminary preparations, as you may be asked to give a speech or participate in a Q&A session."

"Sure, I have no problem with that."

Huang Ze agreed immediately. He was very familiar with the provincial sports center; the main stadium could easily accommodate fifty to sixty thousand spectators!

In other words, by simply attending a meet-and-greet, he could effortlessly rake in tens of millions!

No wonder so many people advocated that dragons should not engage in commerce... It really made a lot of sense. There was no helping it; the advantages in every aspect were simply too overwhelming. You could make a fortune doing practically anything and easily become a vile capitalist!

***

The little red dragon connected with Huang Ze in the spiritual realm.

As soon as they met, the little red dragon chattered incessantly, eager to share every single detail of her day with the black dragon.

Huang Ze lacked the patience for that and immediately scolded her, telling her to get to the important points.

Only then did the little red dragon quiet down, obediently reporting that she had already contacted that ancient ancestor in Hibernion and believed there would soon be a reply regarding the transfer of the dragon blood potion formula.

As for dragon eggs... she had also contacted several well-known prolific breeders among dragons and had already secured at least six dragon eggs!

"You've worked hard... You've worked hard!"

Knowing that the little red dragon had truly put her heart into doing things for him, Huang Ze gently stroked her head as a reward.

"It wasn't hard at all, not hard at all, as long as you're happy!"

The little red dragon affectionately enjoyed the black dragon's petting, her rear end hoisted high in the air.

"..."

Huang Ze had no desire to engage in any "spiritual intimacy" with her and quickly criticized her, telling her to behave more dignified and serious.

Then, he asked her about the dragon transformation technique.

"Transformation... Isn't that one of the innate spells we dragons possess? Surely you know it, my dear?"

The little red dragon looked surprised, tilting her head as she gazed at the black dragon.

"I don't. I forgot... Also, you are not allowed to call me 'my dear'!"

Huang Ze said with a sinking face.

"Alright... my dear."

"Huh?"

Huang Ze glared, staring coldly at the red dragon as if to say—do you think you're funny?

"Fine... Mr. Deus!"

The little red dragon looked a bit crestfallen, her reply dropping to a low murmur.

"Can you teach me this transformation technique?"

Seeing the little red dragon like this, Huang Ze's attitude inexplicably softened quite a bit. He felt a helpless stirring in his heart; Isuelt was already a dragon approaching a thousand years old, yet she still acted like such a little girl—the crucial part was that he genuinely couldn't bring himself to dislike it!

...Could it be that I actually have a soft spot for this type?

Huang Ze couldn't help but begin to doubt himself.

"Teach you..."

The little red dragon wore a troubled expression and said, "It doesn't seem like something that can be taught. I don't know how to describe it with words; it's like a switch in my head. As long as I issue a command, I can freely switch forms..."

"I don't really understand the principles and logic behind it either..."

"Alright..."

Huang Ze felt somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected such an answer. Did that mean he really had to apply to Hibernion to unlock this ability?

"Then tell me in detail, what are the specific differences between human form and dragon form?"

"Specific differences?"

The little red dragon blinked her big eyes, not quite understanding what the black dragon meant, and said, "Mr. Deus, could you be more specific?"

"Well..."

Huang Ze looked at the red dragon's body and said, "Show me your human form."

Although this place was merely the little red dragon's spiritual realm, due to the high strength of her soul, the body she projected had a very high degree of similarity to her real body.

"Oh..."

The little red dragon was very obedient and directly switched to her human form.

"Your transformation technique... can only turn into this appearance? You can't turn into anything else?"

Huang Ze actually had a bit of an aversion to the little red dragon's human form. After all, she was simply too voluptuous—so much so that Huang Ze found it absurd and unnatural, subconsciously slapping labels like promiscuous and wild onto her.

"Not necessarily."

The little red dragon shared a telepathic connection with the black dragon and could clearly sense that he seemed somewhat displeased with this image of hers, so she hurriedly said, "I can also turn into an elf and a succubus!"

"..."

A succubus!

Huang Ze didn't say anything out loud, but inwardly he was quite startled. Creatures like succubi were practically legendary among ordinary degenerates.

Huang Ze knew that there were currently quite a few succubus care and protection organizations, and their members numbered at least in the hundreds of thousands, all of them single-mindedly dreaming of liberating the abyss and hell, rescuing thousands of young succubus ladies, and bringing them home to pamper them properly.

"If I remember correctly, succubi are quite rare in our material realm. Why can you turn into them?"

Huang Ze asked curiously.

"I don't know either."

The little red dragon looked slightly embarrassed and said, "It's probably because there are some succubus genes in my bloodline. After I entered adulthood, I suddenly discovered that I could turn into a succubus!"

"You have succubus bloodline?"

"Yes, my ancestral memories tell me that my great-great-grandfather was an abyssal demon dragon, and after mating with a succubus, they produced my maternal grandmother. So I do have some succubus bloodline, though it's quite weak."

"The union of an abyssal demon dragon and a succubus..."

Huang Ze fell into deep thought and asked curiously, "Are
