"Thou...thou should give up! I, Nicole Doheld, the noble Evil Dragon Lord, will never bow down to a mere human like thee."

Nicole glared up at Lynlo with a fierce expression, her sharp canine teeth adding to the intimidation.

But the sight of her commanding little face "embedded" in the rolled-up sheets was just too comical.

"And more importantly, thou art resorting to such despicable means... I, as the king, shall not yield!"

"Thou must realize thy situation now, Lord of Darkness," Lynlo said, watching Nicole with great interest. "Thou art in our territory, the realm of humans."

"And... so what?"

"Dost thou not know of the Great Evil Dragon Lord? It matters little to me, but others may show interest."

"Who... who would be interested?"

"For example, the research institute that is fascinated by dungeon monsters~ Would they not be intrigued by a never-before-seen demon lord like thee?" Lynlo wore a devilish smile. "I've heard that goblins caught by them are dissected for study. Everything about thee is of great interest to them, after all."

Lynlo's words made Nicole nervous, and as he described it, terrifying thoughts began to fill her mind!

Would she be captured and taken to such a place? She was terrified at the thought!

The experience of being captured by a few low-level adventurers had already cast a shadow of fear in Nicole's heart.

One should not underestimate the tools possessed by humans, or she would not have ended up in this predicament.

Through the effect of the ring of resentment, Lynlo saw that Nicole was no longer emitting any resentment, indicating that she was now contemplating following his lead.

It was not that Lynlo's acting skills were superb; Nicole was simply inexperienced and easily fooled. Lynlo truly worried about her future.

"In the world of humans, one must abide by their rules. Without a proper identity, one cannot survive. Thou will be regarded as a suspicious person and trouble will find thee. Thy identity will be exposed sooner or later. If thou obediently become my slave, thou can gain such an identity."

Lynlo couldn't wait and revealed his intention, but it seemed that Nicole had also caught on.

"What? Dost thou think that by saying all this, thou can persuade me to become thy slave? Absolutely not! Give up on thy delusions, thou vile human!"

Nicole's strong tone made her determination clear.

"The Evil Dragon Lord shall never be enslaved!"

The black aura of resentment once again emanated from Nicole's body, converging into Lynlo's ring.

"Grr-"

Suddenly, Nicole's stomach growled, and even the sheets couldn't muffle the hunger contained within the sound.

A smile appeared on Lynlo's face, unmistakably devilish.

"What... what art thou planning?"

Seeing Lynlo's terrifying expression, Nicole's confidence faltered.

"What dost thou think?" Lynlo sneered and walked over, opening the dormitory's refrigerated cabinet and taking out a whole chicken with X-shaped eyes.

Although Lynlo wasn't particularly wealthy, he never skimped when it came to food. He even prepared some backup ingredients in his dormitory.

This world's chicken was incredibly beautiful, pure and untainted by pollution.

Lynlo took out various spices and rubbed them all over the prepared chicken, using a massaging technique to enhance the flavor.

Finally, a layer of honey was brushed on, and the chicken was wrapped in foil and placed in the oven...

A wave of fragrance quickly surged out from the oven, invading Nicole's delicate nostrils like an invading army, swiftly capturing her senses.

Nicole drooled uncontrollably, but the aroma of the roasted chicken soon occupied the higher grounds of her intelligence.

Her mind began to turn, and if her brain had a shape, Nicole's brain would now resemble a roasted chicken.Upon closer inspection, Lynlo noticed that the blanket wrapped around Nicole was already soaked, and he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

But this time, he had learned his lesson.

Negotiating with her was like two armies facing each other; being impatient would not work.

The previous failure was because Lynlo had revealed his intention too early. This time, he was much smarter.

Lynlo only cared about his roasted chicken, completely ignoring Nicole.

The oven made a "ding" sound, and the aroma of the roasted chicken filled the air. Lynlo not only wanted to enjoy a meal, but he also wanted to eat it in front of Nicole.

He dragged the dining table into Nicole's sight and directly grabbed a juicy and fat chicken leg, taking a bite.

The tender and juicy meat easily separated from the bone in his mouth, filling it with the delicious aroma of the meat.

"Mmm—"

Nicole was already tormented by the smell and now she had to watch Lynlo eat. She whimpered and hid her face in the blanket.

—"Detecting resentment from Nicole."
