Chapter 676: Dragon Lady

Peridot landed in the courtyard of the main mansion where rows upon rows of servants and guards greeted her with a bow. They have shown great courtesy and respect to Peridot. Adrian did not even need to feel wary as there was no killing intent directed towards him.

"Hello, everyone. Thank you for greeting me. This is my guest and sworn friend, Equinox. I hope that you treat him with the same level of respect that you give me." Peridot stated as the servants and guards all looked at Adrian.

"Greetings, Master Equinox. Thank you for coming to our humble place." The servants and guards stated as they also bowed to Adrian the same way that they bowed to Peridot.

"Where is my master? I need to do something urgent with her." Peridot asked.

"The Grand Mistress is at the main hall right now." The head looking court lady stated which Peridot nodded as she told Adrian to follow him.

"You better tell your Qilin to transform into a smaller size or else the servants will have a difficult time cleaning the floors later." Adrian stated jokingly but Peridot agreed with him wholeheartedly.

"You should transform to a human form like Kanlaon did." Peridot told the Qilin.

"Why would I want to transform myself into a human? I am much more dignified than that." The Qilin stated.

"You cannot enter the mansion with your size. I will definitely get berated if you come inside with that size." Peridot stated.

"Maybe it could not transform as it is very complex. It probably does not know about the Polymorph ability." Adrian teased as the Qilin does not want to feel inferior.

"Who says that I cannot transform?! I just refuse to turn into a human. If my large size is the problem, then I will fix it." The Qilin stated as it grew smaller until it is the size of a small dog.

"Cute!" Peridot stated with a squeal.

Peridot then proceeded to carry the Qilin like a dog inside of the mansion. The giggle of a mischievous demon could be heard behind her which made the Qilin mad. The Qilin vowed to get his revenge on that smart scheming brat.

The inside of the mansion is as luxurious as the outside. The walls are painted in a regal red and gold colors that one might think that it is made of gold. Adrian is about to touch the walls when Peridot suddenly warned him about it.

"I assure you that you must not touch those. You do not have the money right now to fix those walls if you damage them. They are made from rose gold and gold. The actual mineral is used for those things and any damage will make you accountable." Peridot stated as even she dared not to fool around with those walls.

"Noted." Adrian stated as the finally arrive at the main hall where the Grand Mistress of the House of Creation is currently located.

"Master, I have arrived." Peridot stated as her master that was not facing her looked back.

Adrian suddenly remembered of a peculiar woman that dared to talk back to Pann. Adrian remembered her face as he knew that those that came to greet them back when he first arrived are definitely the powerful ones from the eastern continent.

"My daughter, you are finally back from whatever destruction that you have granted upon. Tell me, what is the extent of the damage?" Peridot's master stated.

"Ah! It's the Dragon Grandma!" Adrian suddenly blurted out as that was the term that Pann told him to call the Dragon Lady of the House of Creation.

A fierce killing intent suddenly flooded the main hall of the House of Creation. The whole world became silent, and it looked as if the world became painted red with just one sentence. Peridot looked like she would actually die today just because of what Adrian said. Sometimes having no filter had its disadvantages.

Peridot then suddenly regretted her decision of telling Adrian to follow her as she forgot that this is her friend that has no filter. He might the most honest person and intelligent person around, but he sounds dumb when his attitude of having no filter kicks in.

"What are you doing?! Did I tell you not to speak?" Peridot whispered to Adrian.

"Did you? I am pretty sure that all you said is to follow you." Adrian replied.

"When I said follow me, I meant everything I do including my manners." Peridot stated.

"Ah! No wonder you act like you are a different person here. You are finally evolving." Adrian stated which once again poured killing intent inside of the room.

When killing intent flooded the room, Sirius immediately surfaced from Adrian's shadow and guarded him with his life. Even Kanlaon returned to his dragon form, but he only transformed to a size big enough to fit the main hall. Seeing the other monsters transform, the Qilin followed suit.

"What are you doing? Transform back to a smaller form!" Peridot stated as she warned the Qilin.

"I thought everyone is supposed to transform seeing that two of his soulbounds did that. I just joined in on the atmosphere of the situation." The Qilin stated as it transformed back to a smaller form and waited beside Peridot.

The killing intent that flooded the room decreased a bit when Peridot's master saw the two beasts guarding the demon that dared call her a grandma. She raised her eyebrows and also saw an unfamiliar beast beside her 'daughter'. She is shocked upon finding out that it is actually a Qilin.

"So, you were the master of my best friend. I greet the Dragon Auntie." Adrian stated as he bowed.

The Dragon Lady's anger once again flared up but not at the same level as before since she was referred to as an auntie. It is definitely much younger than a grandmother which is a significant upgrade. Still, she is not going to let this discrimination affect her mental stability as she is the Grand Mistress of the House of Creation.

"What brings you here, demon brat?" Peridot's master asked even though she has an idea.

"I invited him here master because he is my sworn friend. He also needs help in getting the elemental magic stone trapped in this shell." Peridot answered.

"I thought you wanted me to heal his arm." Peridot's master stated which shocked the two of them.
