The Almighty Dragon General

A man and woman appeared in the Chaos.
They were still some distance from the Twelfth Universe. In just the blink of an eye, they arrived directly outside of it. A glowing
region appeared in their vision and gradually enlarged before them. Gradually, it became a starry space. James and Sienna
passed through the cosmic barrier and entered the Twelfth Universe.
“I’m finally back,” James heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I thought I’d have to fight an intense battle when we were discussing
postponing the plans to unite all the universes in the First Universe. I wasn’t expecting to return home so easily.”
Sienna said proudly, “What were you expecting with me by your side? My current strength is on par with the Omnipotent Lord.
Although I’m an Eighth Stage Lord, I cultivate in the Dark Path. Dark Power is the nemesis of the Illuminated World’s cultivators.”
James could not help but cast a glance at Sienna. She had become terrifyingly competent. As she had been cultivating since the
Primeval Age, she had become an Eighth Stage Lord.
“By the way!” Sienna appeared to remember something and exclaimed suddenly. “You lied to me, James.”
Startled, James blurted out. “Huh? When have I ever done that?”
Sienna said, “Previously, you promised to marry me after the twelve universes were merged. Now that the merging of the
universes has been canceled, there’s no telling when it will happen. Does that mean you’ll never marry me?”
James explained earnestly. “You’ve misunderstood my intentions, Sienna. I honestly didn’t intend for this outcome. I simply
thought merging now wouldn’t be beneficial for the Twelfth Universe’s residents, and it would be better to do so in the future. As
for our marriage, how about we ask for Thea’s opinion when we find her?”
James suggested tentatively. He was worried Sienna would be enraged. It was possible for her to return to the Dark World in a fit
of anger and launch an attack on the Twelfth Universe using the Dark Army. How would he defend against her attacks if that
were to happen?
James was unsure of his feelings toward Sienna. He could not tell whether he truly had feelings for her, and if he really loved her.
Having reached his cultivation rank, he could predict the future using several methods.
Previously, he sensed a strong Karma Connection between him and Sienna. If he were to reject Sienna, this would have affected
his future. Sienna might perhaps return to the Dark World and oppose the Illuminated World out of spite.

However, James could not reveal these thoughts to her.
“Look at me,” Sienne said seriously.
James turned to face her. He could clearly see Sienna’s trembling eyelashes. Her eyes were bright and clear, but he could sense
something unsettling beneath it all; a slight murkiness. She might have stayed in the Dark World for too long, causing Dark
Power to have a slight influence on her soul.
“Do you like me or do you love me? Are you just leading me on? After we find Thea, and she gives us her blessing, will you
really marry me?” Sienna bombarded him with questions.
“I will,” James looked at her and said earnestly, “After we find Thea, I promise to marry you. I give you my word. As for my
feelings for you...”
James hesitated briefly, but said truthfully, “I don’t think I truly love you, but I definitely feel guilt and gratitude towards you.”
“You’ve done a lot for me. For my sake, you showed up with the Dark Army in the First Universe to resist the twelve universes. I
didn’t want you to be injured for my sake, and revealed my identity.” James answered her very sincerely.
Sienna was disappointed by his answer. However, she quickly shook off her disappointment. James’ words affirmed that she did
not fall for the wrong person. Sienna pouted and said angrily, “I knew it. You never loved me, and haven’t truly accepted me. You
were simply indebted toward me.”
She pounded her hands on James’ chest in frustration. James allowed her to hit him.
After Sienna vented her anger, she took a deep breath. Then, she looked at James with a smile and said, “Alright, thank you for
telling me the truth. I still believe you’ll fall for me before we find Thea. I’m not inferior to her. You didn’t like Thea in the beginning
either and simply married into the Callahans to repay her kindness because she saved your life. You only fell in love with her
later on.”
