Chapter 725: Myriad Tribulations

"Why have you appeared at this delicate moment, in this sensitive place? How will you explain all this? Surely you don't intend to fob us off with more clumsy lies?"

Upon hearing this, a wave of bitterness swept through the Flood Dragon's heart. He knew that the human aura on him was indeed a difficult issue to explain. Yet, he also understood that this could not be taken as evidence of his betrayal to the Demon Race. He took a deep breath, striving to keep calm, then slowly began, "I admit, I have indeed been tainted with the aura of the human race. However, that was because during my escape, I had no choice but to cross through human territories. In order to evade their pursuit, I hid among the humans, and that was how I accidentally acquired the scent. As for my presence here, it is purely because I have nowhere else to go and can only seek asylum with the Demon Race. I have never thought of betraying the Demon Race, let alone doing anything that would harm our interests."
