The Almighty Dragon General

Emperor Yarden laughed and said, “But I'm curious how he will react when he sees you restored to your true form.
"After all, you were considered one of the top three beauties in the world, even surpassing his wife, the esteemed Ying governor..."
Lesia rolled her eyes and retorted, "Superficial. You've been dead for many years and still don't understand mortals. They have emotions and desires. Choosing a partner based on looks isn't love. It's nothing but lust and desire."
Emperor Yarden smiled and stroked his beard. "You've been by his side day and night for so many years but never developed feelings for each other?"
Lesia stated proudly, "We're loyal comrades who will fight side-by-side. Moreover, he is madly in love with his wife. It's to the point where other women don't interest him in the slightest."
Emperor Yarden fell silent. Lesia looked at him and said, "We need to re-evaluate the treatment of the Greater Realm's beings. In the past, we viewed creatures as greedy, selfish, and completely unsuitable for cultivating.

"In our eyes, they had no redeeming quality. We thought if the Greater Realms were handed over to them, it would inevitably lead to destruction and chaos. To persist in this belief, some even provoke war, letting them kill each other to prove this point."
A hint of anger flashed across Lesia's beautiful face. "What's the difference between us then?"
"Do you still hold onto your own opinion?" Emperor Yarden frowned.
"Yes. There was Yianni and Harper in the past. Then, I encountered James and his group of friends. It made me believe my judgment was right." Lesia nodded.
He asked coldly, "Then what about Morgott? How do you evaluate him?"
Lesia responded calmly, "Was Morgott always who he used to be? If nobody had prejudices against mortal beings, would he have still been labeled as a demon?"
Emperor Yarden stared at Lesia and said, "Is that why you deliberately let him go?"
She sighed. "He's a pitiful man. He went astray because of a lack of guidance. Why can't he be given another chance?
"While he had been with me, he was greatly affected. Although I can't say he is an entirely changed man, I see the minor differences." Lesia took a deep breath and said, "He went from hating James to being able to act accordingly while observing him. Ultimately, he admitted having admiration and respect for James. Now, he's basically a fanboy and shamelessly insisting they're friends.
“More importantly, I don't want him to influence James. After all, James' inner demon hasn't been relinquished. If it corrupted him, he'd be an even worse existence than Morgott."
Emperor Yarden sighed heavily, then took another sip of his Chaos Absinthe. After a brief silence, he said, "But you also caused a disaster for James. His wife was captured."
