Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

```

However... if I'm not by your side, it's indeed best to hightail it out of there when encountering a girl like Sophia—she says she's strong, and she truly is. If she wasn't, she wouldn't dare to appear in Saint Blue alone, let alone declare in public her desire to form a Dragon Knight contract with a giant dragon.

???

Has the dragon cub's perception gotten sharper?

Did she realize she couldn't beat Sophia and that's why she ran to my side?

When she encountered the Bronze Giant Dragon cub, she didn't run away—in fact, she even took out a hammer and gave the chubby little dragon a wallop.

Not bad at all.

Having a heightened ability to perceive danger is good for the dragon cub.

Running away when you can't win isn't a matter of shame for a dragon.

When I was weak, I'd run from powerful opponents whenever possible.

"I think so too."

The young dragon grinned, put down the bicycle, and rode up to Sophia's side, "We can be friends, but don't think about forming a Knight Contract with me."

"No worries, I was just teasing you. My goal is to form a contract with a mature pureblood giant dragon. Little Dragon Highness, which of the mature pureblood dragons at the Dragon God Temple is the strongest?"

"Black Dragon."

The strongest of the pureblood dragons is indeed that Black Dragon wandering the Human World.

Even the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor turned into a Black Dragon could suppress both Golden Giant Dragon Austin and Erinna in a fight; a real Black Dragon is definitely not weak.

Fortunately, she had prepared many Divine Artifacts that could enhance her strength, and before leaving Saint Blue, she was determined to give the Black Dragon a thrashing.

"When you're tired of playing, could you take me to see the Dragon God Temple? I'd love to meet those pureblood giant dragons and see if I could find one to my liking."

The young dragon thought it over and felt there wasn't any problem; the blond girl Sophia here didn't seem to have any ill intentions—she simply wanted to become a Dragon Knight.

I hope she doesn't take a liking to Evil Dragon Lance, otherwise her dream of becoming a Dragon Knight would definitely shatter.

Evil Dragon Lance is the strongest among the pureblood giant dragons.

Not counting the Pureblood Dragons from Dragon Island.

After all, of the Dragon Island Pureblood Dragons currently active in the Human World, she had only encountered the Bronze Giant Dragon Melbourne.

"Sure."

"Then let's play first. When we are tired, you take me to the Dragon God Temple, um... if I manage to form a contract with a pureblood giant dragon, I will give you a gift, and even if I don't manage to form a Dragon Knight contract with a pureblood giant dragon before leaving Saint Blue, I will still give you a mysterious gift."

"Then I'll treat you to a barbecue."

"Alright."

In just a few words, Sophia managed to hit it off with the future heir of Saint Blue—not hit it off, to be precise; she genuinely liked the little Dragon Highness.

"Lance, I'm going to play now, just around the square."

"Go ahead."

"If you get bored, go to the café for some dessert and a cup of coffee. If you don't have any money on you, I'll give you some of my pocket money."

"Then give me some."

"..."

Really?

The puppet doesn't have any money; it's all with the original body.

The young Dragon took out a money pouch from the Lucky Coin, counted out thirty gold coins, and handed them to Lance, "Is this enough?"

"Enough."

The young Dragon closed the money pouch and put it back into the Lucky Coin before heading off to play.

Sophia stood there, dumbfounded, suddenly feeling... as if the young dragon was actually the parent...

No, that's not right... it's that the somewhat bewildered-looking young dragon was oddly reliable.

Lance felt nothing of it, took the gold coins, and went to the café. He left the bicycle to some of the older children, letting them ride it for fun.

As for the possibility of them getting injured, the children from Saint Blue City are tough; they don't care about minor injuries.

Even serious injuries wouldn't matter; with him around, he could save someone who was on their last breath.

Riding a bicycle in the plaza isn't that dangerous.

There are no cliffs, no rivers, no various kinds of cars around—there's no danger.

Having made a friend like Sophia, the young dragon had a blast in the square, and with her current stamina, she didn't feel tired no matter how long she rode.

Seeing that Sophia wanted to ride, she cycled a few laps before letting Sophia take over the bicycle.

Sophia asked her to sit on the rear seat, and at first, the young dragon was worried whether Sophia could handle the weight. After one ride, she had no more concerns.

When it was her turn to ride, she also allowed Sophia to sit on the rear seat, and sometimes the older children as well.

They played until noon when the young dragon got hungry and offered to treat Sophia to a meal.

Sophia didn't decline, openly accepting the young dragon's kindness, and at dinner, she treated the young dragon in return.

```

Lunch was barbecue.

The barbecue in Saint Blue City was different from other Human World cities; it tasted very good.

After enjoying lunch, the young dragon handed the bicycle to Sophia and found a shady spot. She pulled out a rocking chair from her Lucky Coin and laid it on the ground before lying on it.

It was naptime.

Having lived beside the Evil Dragon for over a year, she had picked up the habit of taking a nap. Without a bit of sleep after lunch, she would feel lethargic all afternoon.

"Young Dragon Highness, what are you doing? Resting?"

"I'm tired. I want to take a nap. You go and play. I'll come find you when I wake up, don't worry, I won't sleep long, at most an hour."

"???"

Oh, oh, oh.

A nap.

Sophia remembered, Erinna had mentioned this before, saying that the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor liked to take a nap after lunch.

This had led her to adopt the same habit during her time in Saint Blue.

"Then you have a good sleep, I'll come wake you in an hour."

"Mmm..."

The young dragon took out a blanket from her Lucky Coin to cover herself up, as autumn had arrived and it was getting cold. It was good to stay warm while sleeping.

Adorable (*╹▽╹*)

Witnessing this scene, Sophia was even more tempted to take the young dragon back to the War God Holy Mountain to raise.

The young dragon, covered with a blanket while sleeping, was just too cute.

She took out a Memory Stone from her pouch, capturing the image of the young dragon asleep.

She really wanted to kidnap the little dragon raised by the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

Unfortunately, it was only a fleeting thought, as acting on it would likely lead the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor straight to the War God Holy Mountain.

Sophia rode off on the bicycle, relishing her freedom, as there were no Divine Position clerics or Holy Mountain Knights following her.

An hour later, she came back to wake up the young dragon and returned the bicycle to her.

"I don't want to ride anymore, it's your turn."

"I don't want to either... How about we switch to a different activity in the afternoon?"

"Play what?"

"You'll see in a bit."

About half an hour later, the young dragon and Sophia appeared in the square, pushing a caravan.

Sophia was dressed in an apron embroidered with cartoon images of a young dragon, wearing a chef's hat and a clear mouth shield, helping the young dragon as an assistant.

The young dragon said she would teach her to barbecue.

Sophia found this novel; she had never done anything like this before.

On the War God Holy Mountain, she lived a pampered life where everything was handed to her.

She had never experienced something like selling barbecue on the street, nor had the thought ever occurred to her.

Exciting, thrilling and somewhat enticing.

The young dragon glanced at Sophia with her slanted pupils, noticing the expression on her face. The corners of her mouth turned upwards.

Heh heh... I knew Sophia couldn't just be a child from an ordinary family. That air about her... She looked like she came from nobility, perhaps even from a very old family.

This morning she'd given the Evil Dragon thirty Gold Coins; it was time to earn them back.

With Sophia helping her, things would be much easier.

"What... what are we selling?"

"Barbecue and bobo chicken, three skewers of bobo chicken for a copper coin."

"Bobo chicken? What kind of food is that?"

"You'll find out soon."

The young dragon began preparing ingredients and making bobo chicken.

About an hour and a half later, Sophia sat down on a chair and called out to the young dragon, "Young Dragon Highness, I'd like bobo chicken for a silver coin, please."

"....."

The young dragon looked at Sophia, who was happily eating with grease all over her mouth, somewhat speechlessly. She was supposed to be helping, but after seeing the finished bobo chicken, Sophia took off her apron and chef's hat, and instead of serving, she sat down to enjoy the food.

In just that short period, Sophia had already eaten bobo chicken worth three Gold Coins...

"By the way, Young Dragon Boss, can I get two bowls of octopus balls as well?"

"..."

Grinding her teeth, the young dragon took out the previously severed legs of a squid mother, began processing them, and cursed under her breath... How had she not realized that this rich girl Sophia was also a big eater?
