I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.

"Kid, you're questioning me?"

Snake-like creatures are not without temper. As a powerful demon capable of easily causing landslides, being questioned by a mere five-year-old brat is an immense humiliation.

It squinted, its enormous head approaching Xiao Su Nuo's territory, releasing an extremely strong sense of oppression:

"Fifteen minutes. If you can withstand my attack for fifteen minutes, I will take back my words and acknowledge your future. But if you fail, you must accept it... Do you dare?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Xiao Su Nuo's eyes were firm, and he formed the Yama Heaven Seal with all four arms at the same time, ready to unleash a double slash.

Neither side would back down, and tensions were running high. Just as the atmosphere reached its peak and both sides were about to make a move, Lilith's voice suddenly came from afar.

"Shu Nuo, stop playing around, dinner's ready."

Xiao Su Nuo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lilith lying on the second-floor balcony, waving and calling out to him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Nuo's face darkened. He released his hand seals, and the domain filled with deathly aura and murderous intent beneath his feet immediately disappeared.

"I'm going home for dinner. Please make yourself at home."

Without seeking reconciliation, Kosuna left those words and walked towards the villa, leaving Hebi standing there sullenly...

After returning home, Su Nuo went straight to the dining table and sat down without saying hello, simply burying himself in his rice.

Lilith's attention was entirely focused on breakfast, and she didn't notice that Su Nuo's mood was a bit off. Only Amelia noticed the abnormality.

Seeing that Sukuna's face clearly showed her unhappiness, Amelia pushed her glass of milk towards him and said:

"Unhappy?"

Su Nuo did not answer, but simply nodded.

Upon seeing this, Amelia asked again:

"Can you tell me why you're unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Nuo remained silent for two seconds. Facing this gentle and consistently patient teacher, he still poured out his unpleasant feelings from just now:

"...I don't accept its words, and it doesn't approve of me, so I want to prove myself, that's all."

"Is that so...?"

Seeing Xiao Sunu's aggrieved expression, Amelia didn't offer comfort. She knew that comfort would be useless at this moment; she had to point out the problem to Xiao Sunu. She said:

"Then do you know why Mr. Orochi is unwilling to believe you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Nuo was taken aback. He looked at Amelia, pondered for a few seconds, and then said:

"Because in its understanding, open domains are defective products, but it forgot that it once said that domains cannot be broken from the outside, but my open domains can directly break other people's domains from the outside."

Compared to closed domains, my open domain has its own advantages, but it stubbornly denies me and refuses to acknowledge me.

Amelia asked again:

"Why would he think that way?"

Why?

Xiao Su Nuo murmured, this question really stumped him. He pondered for a while before looking at Amelia and shaking his head slightly.

Amelia said:

"His understanding was limited by the times. Do you remember what I taught you?"

In feudalism, stability is paramount, which is why they are unwilling to accept new things. Therefore, you don't need to be sad about it. You are not wrong, and neither is he; it's a problem of the times.

"Is it a problem of this... era?"

After hearing Amelia's explanation, the awkwardness and grievance in Kosuke's heart began to dissipate. He had thought he was angry because he was not recognized, but after seeing through the essence, he realized that his emotions just now were meaningless.

"Thank you, teacher... If it weren't for you, I don't know how much more time I would have wasted on this kind of thing. Thank you."

"It's alright. Although strength is your foundation in this world, knowledge is equally important."

"Understood, teacher."

Xiao Su Nuo buried her head, staring at the boiled broccoli on the plate. She ate it in one bite and then drank the cup of hot milk in one gulp.

Seeing that Su Nuo had shaken off her negative emotions, Amelia smiled and prepared to enjoy her lunch. But before she could even start eating, she noticed Lilith's gaze.

Lilith and Amelia looked at each other and smiled shyly.

"I'm not full yet, so..."

Upon hearing this, Amelia pushed her plate towards Lilith without hesitation:

"I'm not hungry, boss."

"Then I won't be polite!"

"Lilith exclaimed, taking Amelia's plate and beginning to eat heartily. What a delightful breakfast time!"

Of course, for the snake-like creature currently sulking at the bottom of the lake, this was hardly a pleasant experience...

In the days that followed, Su Nuo devoted himself to studying his own techniques and the knowledge in the book. He no longer used techniques, but instead focused on the abstract feeling of the power of the spell flowing through his body when he unleashed a slash.

He no longer came to the lakeside, nor did he strike the lake surface. It seemed that after that argument, he and She Ni had become complete strangers.

Time flies by, and ten years have passed silently.

Over the past decade, Su Nuo has gained a completely new understanding of his spells. He understands how the power of the spell flows within his body, and he has learned to chant incantations to guide the power of the spell, increasing the power of the spell to 100% or 120%.

He also learned to use the rules of spell power to add a constraint to his domain that "leaves a chance for the enemy to survive," thereby increasing the domain's range from a radius of thirty-five meters to a radius of two hundred meters.

He further understood that "abolishing feudal private interests and establishing republican public interests; examining the evils of capitalism and clarifying the principles of distribution; governing the people to benefit the government and bringing order to the world."

Just like most teenagers, Su Nuo is now full of ideals and energy, harboring the ambition to "change the world".

Even though Lilith often teased him, saying things like "talking about republics and democracy in feudal times is no better than talking about atomic substitution reactions with gorillas," the fifteen- or sixteen-year-old Sukuna was always full of confidence.

One day, after breakfast, Amelia was clearing away the dishes as usual when the young Sukuna spoke up:

"Boss, teacher, I want to leave here and venture out into the world."

Hearing this, Lilith and Amelia were somewhat surprised, but Lilith quickly realized that Su Nuo had grown up, but he was still a long way from becoming the King of Curses, and he needed to gain more experience.

So Lily agreed without hesitation, and said:

"Work hard out there, and when you achieve something, remember to bring us to the city to retire."

"Okay, boss, I definitely will."

As Su Nuo spoke, he looked at Amelia.

Lilith had already agreed to Su Nuo's departure, so Amelia naturally had no objections. However, Amelia gave him some advice:

"be safe."

Su Nuo nodded and left the villa.

On the way down the mountain, one inevitably had to pass by that lake. He had stopped in front of the lake before, but the conflict that could have been resolved with a simple apology had now become the reason why he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

In the end, Su Nuo said nothing, turned and left. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard a "splashing" sound of flowing water. Looking back, he saw She Nuo poking its head out of the lake:

"Don't die out there. Use your abilities to earn my respect."

Su Nuo was taken aback, then a smile curved his lips. He said:

"Don't worry, I will prove to all of you that I will change this era."

After saying that, the young Su Nuo went down the mountain, carrying nothing but a white robe in the style of a feudal era...
