However, she did not reveal what she was thinking. She bit her lip tightly to the point that it was almost bleeding. Then she shouted, "Uncle!"
After that, her beautiful face instantly fell. Addressing Darryl as Uncle twice had taken a lot out of that arrogant woman.
"Good girl!" Darryl thought he should stop here. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll help you beg for mercy since you sounded so sincere!"
He walked up to the scaled dragon and put on an act for her. "Scaled Dragon, that girl did not mean to bother you, so please don't eat her."
He activated the Power of Bird Ancestor and injected it into the scaled dragon as he spoke. "I'm making good on my promise. You'll be able to break through your bottleneck when you successfully integrate the Power of Bird Ancestor into your body. That's all I can help you with. It's up to you whether you succeed or not,' he whispered to the scaled dragon. Darryl's movements were so discreet that Veron was none the wiser.
The scaled dragon was very grateful. It nodded at Darryl and immediately laid down to silently integrate with the Power of Bird Ancestor, which could indeed help it break through its bottleneck.
'Can he really communicate with the scaled dragon?' When the scaled dragon calmed down, Veron's delicate body trembled in both joy and shock. She stared at Darryl blankly, her mind buzzing as if she had turned into an idiot.
Afterward, she heaved a sigh of relief. 'I'm saved.' She still had no idea that Darryl played her.
"Well then!" Darryl turned around and smiled at her. "I'll say we're even. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be off now."
"Wait!" Veron shouted hurriedly just when Darryl was about to fly into the sky.
