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

"Lance's human heart is dirtier than the color of his dragon body."

Isn't this just beating around the bush?

Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln is a bit inadequate, small-minded, and holds grudges.

"Lance left a good impression on me, and also, the color of my dragon body is not dirty. If you had taken a closer look at my dragon body, you would have noticed that it is a multicolored black, not the pitch-black you're imagining."

What...what?

Multicolored black?

Black is black; how can there be a multicolored black?

Throwing around words they barely understand.

"Black is black, how can there be a multicolored black?!"

"You don't have eyes that can perceive beauty."

"???" Evil Dragon Koln became annoyed, "I've slept with more of the opposite sex than you've even seen. Are you saying I don't have eyes that can discover beauty?"

"That's nothing to boast about; it merely shows your understanding of beauty is too superficial, still focused on the surface. Every creature has inner beauty, besides outer beauty. I think those mates of yours would rather have you see their inner beauty."

"Bullshit, don't think just because you've read a few books, you can show off your shallow literary knowledge in front of me. A female, if her outer beauty can't attract me, do you think I would have the patience to discover her inner beauty?

You're also a male Giant Dragon. If a female's outer beauty doesn't attract you, would you sleep with her because of her inner beauty?"

"...."

Underestimated Evil Dragon Koln.

Didn't expect him to retort; that question was...quite sharp for him.

At the end of the day, he was a rather superficial Black Dragon. If a female's outer beauty didn't attract him, even if he knew that female was a nice, kind-hearted girl, he probably wouldn't consider her as a potential mate.

His cultivation hadn't reached the legendary realm yet.

"I can't answer that question for you."

"Why can't you answer me? Is it because you realize you're quite hypocritical?"

Hypocritical?

He wasn't a hypocritical Black Dragon; after all, so far, he hadn't even been in love, and any contact with the opposite sex ended up becoming friendship.

That question was somewhat unfriendly for a Giant Dragon who had been single for over three thousand years.

"I can't answer that question, because I haven't encountered such a situation yet. Only when I have, can I truthfully answer your question. Not having experienced it would make answering unfair to both you and me."

Heh.

Evil Dragon Koln grinned, pretending not to understand humans, nor recognizing his fellow Pureblood Dragons?

Pureblood Dragons wouldn't naturally approach those of ordinary appearance.

Black Dragon had lived in the Human World for so many years, he didn't believe that Black Dragon had never encountered ordinary-looking human females.

Upon encountering one, he would instinctively avoid contact, a natural instinct for Pureblood Dragons.

Instinct engraved in both Dragon Bone and Dragon Soul.

The youngling dragon listening to the conversation between Evil Dragon Koln and Lance subconsciously looked at Lance, wondering if Evil Dragon Lance had abducted her from the empire's skies that day not only because of her identity as a youngling, but possibly also because he saw her inner beauty.

Otherwise, with so many young dragons around, why would Evil Dragon Lance specifically choose her?

Her inner beauty must have attracted the Evil Dragon.

That raised the question, what was her inner beauty?

Innocence?

Kindness?

Adorableness?

Love for learning?

Hehe… thinking about it, she was quite outstanding.

"Lord Melbourne, please take Mr. Koln down to rest for a while."

Melbourne took Evil Dragon Koln out of the bedroom. He and Saint Blue had a contract. With human Lance in a deep sleep, allowing Evil Dragon Koln to stay might unsettle Tixia and Ingrid.

Though human Lance was detestable, he wasn't completely ruthless. During his deep sleep, he would fulfill his contractual obligations, protecting Saint Blue and preventing his fellow dragons on Dragon Island from causing trouble.

Black Dragon had a good relationship with human Lance; he probably wouldn't allow the Dragon Island Pureblood Dragons to cause trouble in Saint Blue either.

The bedroom was left with the Black Dragon, the youngling dragon, and Tixia.

Ingrid went downstairs to entertain Melbourne and Evil Dragon Koln.

"Lord Black Dragon, can our Lord Viscount... really... really wake up?"

"Yes."

Tixia glanced at Black Dragon's eyes, the pupil color of which matched their Lord Viscount: golden-red.

Perhaps this similarity was why she felt no aversion to the Black Dragon before her?

Her gaze shifted to the youngling. What Black Dragon Youngling—in her heart, this self-proclaimed Black Dragon Youngling was Prince Dragon.

Upon seeing Tixia looking her way, the youngling inexplicably understood the message conveyed in Tixia's eyes.

Tixia seemed to be asking her through her gaze… if what the Evil Dragon had said was true.

"Rest assured, human. Your Lord Viscount will definitely wake up; don't worry too much about him. During his sleep, just do your jobs, and don't overthink things."

Finishing her reassurance, the youngling took out three lollipops from the Lucky Coin and handed them to Tixia.

Tixia, caught off guard, received the lollipops in a hugging gesture; they were too big...

This size was entirely a snack for the younglings; humans couldn't possibly eat them.
