Chapter 200: Don't anger a dragon.

'That was unlike Li Jun. I guess seeing Lao get a new body made him jealous. It's understandable. If I was trapped with someone for thousands of years and suddenly they got to go free I would be jealous too.' Haru thought to himself. Li Jun's reaction was completely justified.

Haru knew that he would get over it soon so he didn't worry too much about his mental state although he did feel bad for him. He would have tried to get a body for Li Jun too but he was just the fragment of a soul. He had no life force or body so it would have been practically impossible for him to live once again.

As he was sympathising with Li Jun, Haru received a text from an unknown number. He then looked down to read what it said.

"Mr Fujimoto. I have received instructions to help you get legal documentation for your friend. You may come to our offices at four hundred and nine East street at eight-thirty AM on Monday morning and I will see to it that everything will be taken care of." The message was simple and straight to the point. Unlike a message, he thought he would receive, from a government official.

But it was likely a fake number that wasn't tied to his name at all and was only used for this kind of thing. It was smart to leave introductions for when they met in person.

Haru replied with a simple "Thank you" and then put his phone back in his pocket before looking back at Lao who was now sat on the floor with the TV picked up over his head and trying to shake the food out of the screen into his mouth.

"You hungry?" Haru asked Lao who was startled by the sudden question behind him and almost dropped the TV as he turned around but Haru quickly held out his hand and managed to stop it from falling with his Qi and placed it back down on the stand.

Lao turned back to see the TV now on the stand and then looked back at Haru.

"You're getting quite good with your use of Qi. What did you say I didn't hear you?" Lao praised him and then asked, admitting that he was entranced by the TV show entirely.

"I asked if you wanted to get some food," Haru said once again, this time louder so there was no chance of him saying that he didn't hear.

"Food? I don't need to eat." Lao replied. Although it's true that he didn't need to eat to survive. It didn't stop him from feeling hungry. And that was made obvious by the growl that came from his stomach while he was thinking about it.

"Come on. I will take you to my favourite restaurant but you have to promise me not to pick a fight with anyone. If someone speaks to you then just ignore it." Haru said to make sure that Lao didn't wipe out half of the city if someone annoyed him.

"You think that a human- A normal person could anger me? I feel pity for them for being so weak that they feel the need to target people to try to prove their strength." Lao announced, remembering that Haru told him not to refer to people as humans.

"If you say so. Then let's go. You might want to put these on too. It's much colder out there than it is in here." Haru said and then tossed a pair of wool gloves and a thick scarf for Lao to wear.

"Oh, gloves… I know how these work. But what is this thing? Is it a belt?" Lao looked at the scarf with confusion. As he put on the gloves.

"No, It's a scarf," Haru said but it didn't make any difference. Lao was just as confused as he was before he knew what it was called. He picked it up and began to wrap it around his waist and arms to see where it would fit.

"Is this right?" He asked after tying it around his forehead like he was the hero of some type of action movie.

"Not even close. Come here, let me help you." Haru sighed and called Lao over so he could do it himself. At the rate he was going it would take them all day to get to the restaurant. Haru quickly wrapped the scarf around Lao's neck and then they both headed outside.

*Sniff sniff*

Lao suddenly began to sniff the air like a dog as he stepped outside into the open.

"I smell that vampire," Lao said just before Haru opened the gate to see the Erstin stood on the other side with his face pressed against the crack between them.

"Ugh… I was just… Uh…" Erstin stuttered for a few minutes before his attention changed to Lao who was wrapped up like an Eskimo in the winter.

His long blue hair fell out from underneath the hood of his coat and the scarf was wrapped around his neck and face. The only features that were visible to Erstin were the long blue hair and the bright green eyes.

"Who's this pretty young lady?" Erstin smiled and scratched the back of his head, blushing slightly after looking into the beauty of Lao's eyes. When suddenly the ground beneath his feet vanished and he felt immeasurable pain in his stomach as he flew through the sky before hitting the ground on the other side of the road.

"I am no woman," Lao announced after striking Ernist in the gut with his Qi.

"Lao! What did I just say?" Haru turned to Lao with the same look that a parent would give to their child when misbehaving.

"But he mistook me for a woman…" Lao replied in an outraged tone. It wasn't surprising that something like that would have warranted such a reaction. He was previously an intimidating dragon and people tend to think of women as weak and fragile.

And if you had enough guts to call a dragon weak and fragile. You had better be prepared to show your strength in return. Lao did mention that dragons were prideful beings but Haru never expected it to be this severe.

Haru turned his head back to Erstin, thinking that he might have been dead but as he looked he noticed that the vampire was on his hands on knees and clutching his stomach.

"Sorry about that! He gets easily agitated." Haru shouted across the road to Erstin.

"He!? That's not a woman?" Erstin shouted back, shocked by what he had just heard.

"You didn't learn your lesson I see…" Lao said quietly before picking Erstin up with his Qi and slamming into the ground before picking him back up into the air only to do it again.

Haru looked back at Lao who was showing no reaction on his face as he brutalised the poor vampire and sighed in disappointment.

"How did I expect this to turn out?" He whispered before Lao lowered his arm once again and then looked back to Erstin who was rolling across the floor as most of the bones in his body had broken and he was struggling to heal them.

"I would sympathise with you but I don't want to be next… I would be careful with my words from now on if I was you!" Haru shouted to Erstin to let him know that if he said anything else it would probably lead to something worse.

But it was like Li Jun said. Lao was happy. Judging from his character before Haru would most likely be cleaning up a pool of blood and calling Han to help him hide a body right now.

This was light punishment compared to how hard Lao had hit Kun for being disrespectful while in Haru's soul ocean.

Haru waved goodbye before grabbing Lao by his arm and walking away before anything else could happen. The last thing that he needed were any of his neighbours coming out to witness something like this.

The news would spread like wildfire of cultivators living at Haru's house. And he most certainly didn't want any more uninvited guests showing up at his house.

After dragging Lao down the street to be far enough away from Erstin that they wouldn't be able to hear anything else he had to say Haru let go of Lao's arm and turned to face him.

"Look, I understand what he did… But you can't just do something like that. You are lucky he is a vampire and not a human. You would have killed him if he was a normal human." Haru said. While looking at Lao's face that was unreactive to anything that Haru was saying.

"Precisely. You told me that I had to ignore people. Vampires abandoned the human clan thousands of years ago so I wouldn't count them as people. Unless you meant that I couldn't hit any living being?" Lao asked, unsure about what Haru wanted from him.

'Well… He's right but still-!' Haru struggled to think of anything he could say back to him but he came up blank.

"Okay, I get it. Let's get going already. Just don't attack anyone else from now on." Haru said before walking in the direction towards his favourite restaurant.
