Chapter 203: The Evil Dragon Roared, and the Hungry Kitten Meowed
Before this, I always thought that Princess Fei Luo and Yin Xiamo had a hierarchical relationship, or perhaps a master-pet relationship, at the very least something akin to the relationship between a warrior and their steed. Just like she mentioned before about the hero and the centaur girl.
After all, based on the current intelligence, in the previous life, the “hero” defeated the Black Dragon Princess, and their duel was probably intended to determine “leadership” after settling the victory. Since the hero emerged victorious, he undoubtedly had the right to lead the dragon race. At that time, it seems that the relationship between the little devil and the hero was also good, rounding up, her relationship with the dragon race was similar to the hero’s relationship with the dragon race.
Following this timeline, the hero sacrifices himself, and the little demon takes on the hero’s role, leading the anti-demon king alliance army. Xiao Mo herself has mentioned that she rode a giant dragon into battle, so shouldn’t her relationship with Fei Luo be like that of a master and her mount?
However, according to the current situation, they seem more like “best friends.” The term “best friends” here is a positive term, similar to “brothers” between men, transcending ordinary friendship, a kind where they can trust each other and joke around.
Yin Xiamo calling Fei Luo a “stupid dragon” is probably similar in nature to boys on Earth playfully insulting each other as “idiots.” Moreover, judging from Yin Xiamo’s attitude towards Fei Luo after entering the “divine realm” and Fei Luo’s calm demeanor upon seeing the “divinity” of Yin Xiamo, their relationship might indeed be very good.
And it seems I may have slightly misunderstood Fei Luo’s feelings toward the “hero.” At least based on the current situation, Fei Luo doesn’t seem to have that kind of love-at-first-fight scenario found in Japanese light novels.
What really frustrates me is that this Black Dragon Princess, relying on her relationship with Yin Xiamo, speaks without courtesy.
“Hahaha… I really want to laugh… laugh until my stomach hurts… it hurts so much… hahaha…”
“Momo, you did a great job. This little cutie not only carries the aura of the Elven tribe but also that of a Succubus and a Catgirl… I finally understand why you were desperately studying Life Forbidden Arts and Soul Magic back then, hahaha…”
“This hero also has his days, hahaha…”
Watching the black-haired girl in front of me rolling on the ground, with the dual horns on her head showing cracks from hitting numerous large stones, I couldn’t help but say, “Alright, I’m not him. I don’t have his memories…”
Even if you tell me all this, I still don’t understand…
“N-No… it’s okay. If you don’t have memories, I can help… help you remember.”
Finally stopping the rolling, the black-haired girl slowly stood up with the support of a stone, “No wonder there’s a familiar aura on you. So, it really is that guy.”
“Do you know? When I was a child, I really hated being a girl. I always demanded myself according to the requirements of the male black dragons in the family. At that time, a guy who claimed to be a hero came and caused a scene, saying that the world was in crisis and needed our dragon race to lend a hand. The old guys in the family were too lazy to argue with him, so they let me go out and fight with him.”
“As Momo probably told you, I lost in the duel. That so-called hero had dual talents in magic and martial arts. I was still young and immature at that time, very frustrated. He came over to comfort me, saying a bunch of blah blah about how girls are cute and there’s nothing serious about being a girl. At that time, I asked him if he would be willing to turn into a girl. He avoided the topic, saying those were forbidden curses, and changed the subject.”
The black dragon girl who stood up adjusted her long hair behind her slightly, “Then our esteemed hero also gave various instructions on my fighting style. Although many of the things he said were not wrong, I was rebellious at that time and just felt this person was super arrogant, very unpleasant. I could only nod and agree with him.”
“Fei Luo, aren’t you still dissatisfied with the results from back then?”
Yin Xiamo behind her covered her mouth and laughed: “A few years ago, you talked to me about this, saying if the hero could be resurrected, you would fight him again with confidence in winning.”
“That was just a casual remark, just didn’t want to let Xiao Mo feel sad.”
Fei Luo briskly walked to my side, scrutinizing me from head to toe. I had tied my hair into twin ponytails with butterfly knot ribbons, wearing a cute summer wind dress. With a cat bell hanging around my neck and a gift-style bow, it seemed like I was holding back something.
After a few seconds, she burst into laughter, “Pfft hahaha… no matter how many times I see it, I still want to… want to laugh. Xiao Mo, you are truly great, hahaha…”
I clenched my fist, “Xiao Mo, can I hit her?”
“Come on, come on!”
Facing my already deflated appearance, the black-haired girl not only showed no fear but instead puffed up her chest, adopting a stance as if she was ready, “You are no different from a little kitten now. Your threat level to me is zero.”
“Fei Luo, don’t be fooled by Nuo’er’s appearance, her body is still quite powerful.”
Yin Xiamo seemed to have no intention of ‘supporting her own people,’ “Although she has no magic, doesn’t know martial arts, and has little strength, in a fight, you can’t just look at combat power, right?”
What kind of logic is this?
In a fight, if you don’t look at combat power, what do you look at?
Cuteness?
Both of you, if we go into battle, one swinging a lightning-charged spear, the other with golden claws radiating blood magic, and I can only stand behind trying to be cute and charm the enemies to death?
“I can feel it, there’s really no magic aura on her.”
When the conversation turned to this topic, the black-haired girl became somewhat serious, “By the way, Momo, you haven’t taught her any magic in these few years?”
“There are no magical elements in the air here, not suitable for practicing any magic.”
Yin Xiamo smiled, “And as my true form mentioned earlier, there are no magical creatures in this world. The only intelligent beings are humans, so there’s no need to practice magic.”
“That’s true. You’ve also claimed the domain of death here.”
Fei Luo reached out and patted my shoulder, “Well then, um, let me introduce myself a bit. Since you don’t have the memories of a hero, I won’t look at you with those eyes anymore… I… pfft, cough, um, I’m Fei Luo. I used to be a princess of the Black Dragon clan over there, then took over the position of Dragon King, and now I am the Dragon King of the dragon race.”
“I’m Yin Nuo’er.”
I said somewhat frustratedly, “As you can see, I’m just an ordinary person from Earth now, except my body is a bit special.”
Yin Xiamo mentioned that my body has various elements. The Elven skin allows me to avoid mosquito bites, and when I sweat, it emits a natural fragrance. Wearing clothes for a long time doesn’t produce strange odors, and even without bathing, I remain fresh. The Catgirl genes in me make my body sensitive to catnip, a bit of catnip quickly revitalizes me if I’m tired, even more effective than coffee or energy drinks.
In addition, the Catgirl genes also make my whole body extremely flexible. I once tried to stretch ligaments at home, and my two feet could be pressed into a straight line, bending backward with my waist touching the ground without feeling any discomfort. As for the remaining genes from the Succubi and the human princess… I haven’t figured out their purpose. I only know that Yin Xiamo has configured the body to fully adapt to modern society.
“Yin… Yin Nuo’er?”
The black-haired girl turned to Yin Xiamo beside her, “Why do you have such a strange name? Are you using an adaptability language barrier?”
“Of course.”
Yin Xiamo looked completely nonchalant, “Others are not from the dragon race. You’ve been speaking dragon language to me the whole time. Without the barrier, she definitely wouldn’t understand. After we go back, I’ll bring over some dictionaries and language books from here. You better make good use of your time to learn.”
“Alright, it’s just a new language, won’t take much time.”
The black-haired girl put her hands on her hips, continued to gaze at me, and a suppressed smile appeared on her face, “So… hehe… cough, um, you, Hero-sama, oh no, hehe Yin Nuo’er little sister… have you adjusted to the life of a girl?”
“You’ve been laughing at me the whole time!”
I couldn’t hold back anymore, walked up and grabbed the black-haired girl’s fair arm, and gave it a bite —
“Ah!”
The black-haired girl exaggeratedly screamed, then her tone took an abrupt “cool” turn, “Just kidding, see, it doesn’t hurt when a little kitten bites.”
No… it doesn’t hurt?
I released my mouth, looking at the bite marks on the girl’s arm.
It shouldn’t be… As a little girl now, although my strength and stamina are much better than girls of the same age, it’s only relative to “girls of the same age.” Compared to adults, it’s not significant. So, I know that whether I punch or kick, it won’t cause much damage. I can only resort to biting.
I am confident in my canine teeth. In photos, you can see the faint glimpse of my canine teeth when I smile a bit. Eating meat is usually effortless. Biting someone should at least make them feel some pain, right?
“Okay, okay, let’s end the greetings here. Fei Luo, stop teasing others. Nuo’er doesn’t have the memories of the hero, and I promised her to forget about the hero and live a good life from now on.”
Yin Xiamo walked over, “Nuo’er, and you too, you can’t beat her, and biting won’t work.”
Not effective?
I raised my head.
The black-haired girl nodded.
“Of course, after all, she’s a dragon, the Black Dragon with the strongest physical defense.”
Seemingly noticing the expression on my face, Yin Xiamo said with a hint of amusement, “Don’t mention your baby teeth. Even the sniper bullets in this world wouldn’t leave a mark on her.”
Huh?
I looked at Yin Xiamo, then at the black-haired girl, who nodded again.
So, why do I feel like I’m being portrayed as a fool…
“It’s okay, cutie, don’t worry too much.”
Perhaps seeing my disappointment, the black-haired girl grabbed my hand, “Just like the hero told me back then, you’re still young, with a lot of potential and room to grow. You may not be able to beat me now, but someday you will. Be happy, just keep trying… pfft hahaha…”
I gave her a deadpan look.
“I’m really curious about what thoughts Momo had when… when she turned him into… into a little girl.”
Completely ignoring my eye roll, the girl once again examined the bells and bows on me, “It seems like you’ve been planning this for over four thousand years, no wonder you’re working so hard every day.”
“Working hard?”
I wondered, “Xiao Mo?”
“Yes, she’s the most hardworking long-lived species over there, ever since you… cough, ever since the hero sacrificed himself.”
The black-haired girl leaned close to my ear, “Human lifespans are relatively short, you might not have a specific concept. Long-lived species have a poor sense of time. For example, elves, they wake up in the morning, eat some fruits, chat with companions, play the harp for a few tunes, and before they know it, the day has passed. Over the course of a year, the time they’re willing to spend on practicing magic is very short, and their desire for reproduction is particularly low. Xiao Mo is a long-lived species, but she has none of that lax concept. She practices harder every day than humans.”
Got it.
Xiao Mo is the king of overtime in the other world.
I nodded.
In fact, I can understand it.
After all, beings like elves and dragons that can live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, if their personalities are still like ordinary people, aside from the issue of whether they can become gods, their offspring alone would be enough to overcrowd their entire habitat. When everyone in the world can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and the population explodes, it would lead to collective demise.
So, long-lived species must have a very low reproductive desire. Dragons like Fei Luo probably mature around a thousand years old, and around that time, they might consider having a child. Correspondingly, they have a lack of time concept for things like practicing magic. Today, they might take a long nap, tomorrow go fishing, and the day after sleep the whole day.
Yin Xiamo probably has the mindset of a long-lived species in a human body, especially since she has lived with the hero from a young age.
“And not only does Xiao Mo diligently practice various magic and forbidden arts, but she also has a unique divine realm that can influence the perception of time. Don’t be fooled by Xiao Mo’s age of just over six thousand years, her true age…”
“Cough, cough.”
Seeing that the black-haired girl Fei Luo was about to continue, Yin Xiamo coughed a few times, “Enough, don’t bring up that matter again, Fei Luo. Come over here, do the people in the family know about this?”
“They don’t know, so what? Now, I am the Dragon King, and my word is final.”
The black-haired girl curled her lips, “Xiao Mo, didn’t you also directly abandon the entire demon race, come here, and have a date with this little cutie?”
Yin Xiamo looked a bit embarrassed, “Everything I’ve done is for—”
“Yeah, yeah, I know you’ve been doing it all for her for thousands of years. Now your lover has come back as you wished.”
Fei Luo walked past me, “What’s your name here?”
“Yin Xiamo.”
“Still using a couple’s name, truly you.”
The black-haired girl surveyed the entire stalactite cave, took a deep breath, “I plan to play here for a few years. Do you mind?”
“There’s no concept of magic here.”
Yin Xiamo hesitated for a moment, “The recovery speed of magic on your body will be particularly slow here. If you’re in dragon form, the food here might not satisfy your needs.”
“Just stay in my human form.”
The black-haired girl had an indifferent tone, “You and him… cough, you and this little sister Yin Nuo’er are both in human forms. Is it okay if I live in this form?”
“Um…”
Yin Xiamo thought for a moment, “If you can change your eyes a bit and get rid of the horns on your head, it would be better.”
The black-haired girl turned around, and her vertical golden pupils suddenly turned into a human appearance. The dragon horns on her head also disappeared, “Like this?”
“Yes.”
Yin Xiamo nodded, “After going outside, put away the dragon scale armor. I’ll help you buy some clothes, and after changing, it should be fine.”
“It’s quite troublesome, but indeed, it’s in the human style.”
The black-haired girl became somewhat curious after being told, “Why have I been chatting with you for so long, yet I don’t sense anyone nearby?”
“Because this place is far from human cities and has been bought by us,” Yin Xiamo explained.
She gestured to the magic array in the middle of the springwater lake behind her, “I plan to turn this place into a gateway connecting the two worlds. So, when Dolly and the others want to come over, they won’t get lost.”
“They won’t come over for the time being. They’re busy celebrating the victory over there, all joy and festivity. We’re just taking a break for ourselves, secretly enjoying a few hundred years.”
The black-haired girl, with an eager expression, urged, “Hurry up, you two! What kind of world is this? Where should we go now? Is this a cave? Where are the other humans? I want to see what humans in a world completely without magic do all day long. Do they farm or pickle vegetables?”
“In fact, my understanding of this world is limited,” Yin Xiamo turned to me.
“You should ask her, she’s the native here.”
Oh, now they want my input?
I walked towards the exit of the cave, “I wouldn’t say I understand it, I’ve just lived in this city for a while.”
“Oh, I see!”
The black dragon girl Fei Luo hurriedly followed, “Actually, I’ve thought about similar things before. I wondered if a world without magic, martial arts, and qi, and without magical creatures or demon races, would become a peaceful and prosperous world without wars.”
Yin Xiamo fell silent for a moment, “At least the country where she is located is relatively peaceful.”
“That’s good. I don’t want to face war anymore, it gives me a headache,” the black dragon girl changed the topic, asking from behind, “So, how far have you two gone? Rolled in bed? Is it your first time? Are you married? Or maybe you already have children? Who is the mom?”
I quickly approached Yin Xiamo’s ear and whispered, “Is this dragon talking a bit too much?”
“That’s just how she is,” Yin Xiamo smiled apologetically. “Very straightforward. It might be a bit noisy when you first interact with her.”
“Is it appropriate for you two to discuss these things in front of me?”
The black dragon girl behind us stepped forward, “At least turn off the adaptive language barrier before talking about this, so I can pretend not to hear!”
“……”
……
We walked out of the stalactite cave along the path. The outside islands were bathed in sunlight, with a gentle sea breeze.
“The blue sea, huh?” The black dragon girl beside me was instantly drawn to the nearby sea level. “Indeed, a sea without magical creatures fits my aesthetic better. The air here is so refreshing!”
“Come on, it’s not like you haven’t seen similar islands before,” Yin Xiamo said.
Taking my hand, she walked down the mountain along the path. The black dragon girl followed barefoot, saying, “How is it possible that such a treasure is uninhabited by humans? Unbelievable.”
“This place is several tens of kilometers away from the mainland. With current human technological levels, civilian transportation here is not feasible,” Yin Xiamo explained, as if introducing modern life to a girl who grew up in the countryside and suddenly arrived in a big city.
“Moreover, without magic, places like the one we saw just now are, at most, just environmentally pleasant, with no substantial help to humans themselves.”
“Ah… I forgot again that there is no magic here,” the black dragon girl’s tender feet seemed unfazed by the thorny path. While speaking in her unique voice, she observed the surroundings, “There are rabbits, snakes, sea turtles, pangolins… all very ordinary animals.”
“Momo, are we going to the human kingdom now?”
“Well… it’s not a kingdom, there’s no concept of kingdoms here. They are called countries.”
“Countries?”
“Yes, countries. The land is vast. We’re heading to one of the cities, the nearest one, called Shenzhen City.”
“So, if they don’t have wizards or warriors, what protects the country?”
“This is a long story. I suggest you explore the city in the next few days to get used to it.”
Yin Xiamo turned slightly, “The situation here might be a bit unexpected for you. The cities here don’t have walls, and there are no guards defending them. Moreover, the ‘technology’ in this world is much more advanced than ours. Many aspects involve technological elements, such as people’s daily lives, entertainment, socializing, and more. You can think of technology as a kind of magic in this world.”
“Magic?”
The black dragon girl was a bit perplexed, “I… just listening to what you’re saying, I can’t quite understand.”
“So, in the next few days, you can experience it a bit. Nuo’er and I live in the city. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask us.”
As we spoke, we had already walked down the small slope outside the cave onto the beach. A few lizards were still lazily basking in the sun. They seemed entirely unfazed by our sudden appearance, not bothering to move.
On the sea ahead, you could vaguely see a few fin-like shapes swimming around.
“Hmm?”
Looking at the ‘sharks’ in the sea, Yin Xiamo was somewhat surprised, “Orcas?”
I tilted my head, “Orcas?”
I know about orcas, also known as “killer whales.” They are the largest dolphins in the world, even eating great white sharks. Despite the somewhat alarming name, historical incidents of orcas harming humans are rare, and instances of them killing humans are even rarer. Humans are not part of the orcas’ diet. On the contrary, there have been reports of orcas assisting humans. It is said that humans appear very cute in the eyes of orcas, similar to how we view kittens. Therefore, when orcas spot humans in the sea, they often approach for interaction and seeking affection.
There is another perspective on orcas, considering them as the “humans” of the ocean because these dolphins have highly intelligent minds, giving rise to a kind of “orca society” within the ocean.
“It seems they were attracted by the commotion just now.”
Yin Xiamo looked at the black dragon girl, “Fei Luo, northwest direction, 15 degrees angle. Thank you for your help.”
“Got it.”
As if having formed a certain understanding, the black dragon girl ran towards the sea, splashing water with her small feet, running until the seawater soaked her thighs. Suddenly, her body emitted a brilliant golden light.
“Hum…”
A strange energy fluctuation spread in all directions. In the midst of this golden light, the black dragon girl’s figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive black dragon in no time.
“It’s a pity you forgot the years we fought together.”
The black dragon, with magma-themed black and red horns, appeared to be preliminarily estimated to have a length of over fifty meters. Lying in the water, it exceeded twenty meters in height. When it opened its mouth, a deafening sound echoed, “Come up.”
“Nuo’er, let’s go. We’re going home.”
Without waiting for my response, Xiao Mo beside me picked me up and made a big leap onto the back of the giant dragon. She placed me on a small spike at the top of the dragon’s head.
The spike was in relation to the giant dragon beneath, but for me, it was like a very large pillar that required both hands to hold.
“Nuo’er, make sure you hold on tight.”
Sitting on another spike on the opposite side of the dragon’s head, Xiao Mo patted the dragon beneath her, “Here, the detection methods are more advanced. When we return later, I’ll open a disturbance barrier. Try to avoid getting close to the human areas within ten kilometers.”
“Ten kilometers? Didn’t you say this belongs to the human city area? The population density seems pretty low.”
Although I sarcastically commented, the giant dragon beneath me still stood up, flapped its wings with a “whoosh” sound, scaring me into instinctively wrapping my arms around the “dragon horn” in front of me.
“When we first went on an expedition, the hero also sat in the same position as you do now.”
Amid the sound of wings flapping, the giant dragon beneath me slowly ascended into the sky. “He told me that as long as we unite, we can overcome any difficulties and defeat any powerful enemies.”
Soon, the dragon carried Xiao Mo and me into the high skies.
“Later, when the hero left, Xiao Mo seemed to have gone crazy. No matter how hard I tried to stop her…”
“Those years should have been our darkest days. At the most desperate moment, Xiao Mo and I flew thousands of kilometers, exhausted to the point where we couldn’t fly anymore. We landed on a deserted island with no one around. Xiao Mo was surrounded by nearby monsters, fought fiercely for three days and nights to guard the entrance, and even brought me food.”
“At that time, Xiao Mo had injuries all over her body, with wounds exposing bones everywhere. The last words she said before fainting were…”
“Fei Luo!”
Hearing this, Xiao Mo interrupted the black dragon girl’s “recollection,” saying, “We’ve talked about it. Don’t bring up those things from back then. Nuo’er is barely thirty here, it’s not appropriate to discuss such matters with a child.”
“Ahaha, sorry, sorry.”
After being interrupted by Xiao Mo, the giant dragon beneath them was full of apologies in its tone, “Heading northwest by fifteen degrees, avoiding encounters with humans along the way, right?”
“Yes, once you see the coastline, land immediately and then revert to human form. There are no giant dragons in this world, and maintaining dragon form consumes too much magic power, causing unnecessary panic.”
“Understood!”
The giant dragon beneath them tilted upwards, once again soaring to a higher altitude.
“I’m already looking forward to what the human settlements and their technology are like here.”
“……”
……
