Monster Girl Development Master

However, this also meant that the commotion of the battle between the three level-five bloodline individuals had already spread, attracting the attention of the Thousand Towers Kingdom. To avoid leaks before the operation, Missy hadn't told the other council members, and now they were naturally drawn to the scene. According to the plan, after leaving a blurry, identifiable mermaid figure for the arriving party, Mermaid Zero vanished into the waves she had summoned—the silver-haired maid beside Zhuang Sen's eyes lit up, and she restarted the machine.

However, these clean-up matters don't need to be handled by Zhuang Sen; Missy can naturally take care of them. What he's more concerned about now is the situation with King Wuguang. Back then, the death of the Mud Monster Brad alarmed King Wuguang, let alone now that the True Blood Duke is dead, and before he died, he said that he had obtained the Monster Creation Machine.

I wonder if I'll be able to meet the King of No Light himself.

……

The day after the death of the True Blood Lord, on a peaceful morning, somewhere unknown to anyone, orange-yellow candlelight suddenly ignited, and a gigantic, pale skeleton wriggled and clung to a throne made of skulls. Dark green flames ignited in each eye socket, eventually condensing into a dark green soul flame between the skulls of a huge, pale dragon.

Dragonbone Duke settled comfortably into his seat and subconsciously glanced at the Blood Throne opposite him. He didn't see the giant bat that always arrived a little earlier than him; instead, he saw a handsome man exuding a holy aura that displeased the undead. Below the man was a pure white stone throne, adorned with exquisitely ornate and solemn carvings depicting countless lifelike figures, resembling some kind of majestic god. However, with Dragonbone Duke's power, he naturally didn't miss any details on the throne. Those lifelike figures, whether holy angels, dark demons, sturdy dwarves, or slender elves, all shared the same face!

Then this person's identity becomes obvious.

"Thousand Changes?"

Dragonbone King circled around Zhuang Sen, its chilling, evil aura, like a thick, cold fog, pressing down on him. "Do you really like humans that much? You don't even need to show your true face in the assembly hall?"

Zhuang Sen easily withstood the Dragon Bone King's aura, even pushing it back. The holy light made the Dragon Bone King's pale bones, like ribs thrown into boiling oil, instantly speckled with spots. The unexpected counterattack caused the Dragon Bone King to suddenly cower, releasing a ghastly green mist around itself, obscuring the light Zhuang Sen had casually unleashed. It growled in surprise and doubt, "Do you want to start a war?!"

Ignoring the roar of the Dragon Bone King, Zhuang Sen leaned back comfortably, savoring the incredibly realistic touch. He pondered how the King of No Light had managed to do it, projecting his mind through a communicator and making him feel as if he were actually there. Furthermore, was this chair prepared for him by the King of No Light beforehand, or was it something he had "imagined"?

Before Zhuang Sen could ponder for long, the King of No Light appeared quietly in a blurry, luminous humanoid form, his clear and majestic voice ringing out: "Nice to meet you, Lord of a Thousand Changes. Long time no see, Lord of Dragon Bones. It's a pity I bring you bad news today."

Dragon Bone Duke's heart skipped a beat. The True Blood Duke hadn't even arrived yet, and the King of No Light had already appeared and said such things. The meaning was obvious. He immediately forgot about his hostility towards Zhuang Sen. Before he could ask any questions, the King of No Light had already spoken: "The True Blood Duke is dead. He died at the hands of the Speaker of the Thousand Towers Kingdom and a being who is suspected to be a Sea Emperor Mermaid. Let us mourn for him."

Dragonbone Duke lowered his head in silent mourning, his mind churning with questions. The moment he finished mourning, he asked King Wuguang, "How could the Speaker of the Thousand Towers Kingdom possibly defeat True Blood Duke? And isn't the Sea Emperor Mermaid now only the Sea Emperor's Court left?"

King Wuguang listened quietly, but did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Zhuang Sen, who was still studying the chair: "Lord Qianbian, may I ask you to answer Lord Longgu's question?"

Zhuang Sen looked up and smiled. "Of course, King Wuguang, but I only know the general outline. Here's what happened..." Zhuang Sen first recounted the lines he used to deceive the True Blood Lord, then added, "...I was chatting with Missy when, in the next second, she vanished right in front of me. Although I reacted and rushed to the vicinity of the base as fast as I could, it was too late. The True Blood Lord was already dead. Missy was there in the form of the Goddess of Wisdom with a mermaid, and the mermaid left immediately after noticing me approaching."

Faced with Zhuang Sen's explanation, neither the Dragon Bone Duke nor the King of No Light could find any fault with it. The ancient demon, with its rich combat experience, could almost deduce what had happened. The True Blood Duke, who should have fled immediately after obtaining the artifact, was attacked and unable to escape. Upon receiving the news, Misty displayed unexpected strength, teleporting to the True Blood Duke's side and killing him in a two-on-one battle.

The only question now is, who exactly helped Missy entangle the True Blood Lord? And when did the Thousand Towers Kingdom acquire a Level 5 bloodline user in mermaid form? Or rather, where did this Sea Emperor Mermaid come from?

After Zhuang Sen finished speaking, he immediately asked the question: "What is the Sea Emperor Mermaid? And what is the Sea Emperor's Court?"

King Wuguang explained, "The relationship between the Sea Queen Mermaid and those with mermaid bloodlines is like that between me and the Angel of Wuguang. Ordinary mermaid bloodlines are only level three bloodlines, while the Sea Queen Mermaid is our kind. However, she is not one of us, but a member of another monster organization composed of aquatic monsters, the Sea Queen's Court."

Dragon Bone Duke slammed his tail on the ground, angrily saying, "Those damned scoundrels! They must have deliberately killed True Blood Duke to steal the divine artifact!"

Just as Zhuang Sen was about to steer the conversation in that direction, he heard Long Gu Gong's sincere words and couldn't help but give him a big thumbs up. He then followed up on his words with concern, saying, "So, the Thousand Towers' artifact has fallen into the hands of that mermaid. What should we do next?"

King Wuguang's tone remained calm: "Zhuang Sen, I heard that you plan to attack the White City Federation as a prince of the Falling Star Kingdom, is that right?"

Zhuang Sen nodded: "Those White City guys offended me, and the 'Heart of the Snow Bear' they brought out earlier was obviously related to a divine artifact, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to manipulate it, so this is a good opportunity to resolve it all at once."

King Wuguang nodded slightly: "Lord Longgu, put your matter aside for now and come help Zhuang Sen deal with the people of Baicheng and the people of the Sea Emperor's Court."

Zhuang Sen was somewhat surprised, not expecting King Wuguang to say such a thing, but he quickly realized: "The Sea Royal Court's territory is near the White City Federation?" Aquatic monsters, of course, must be in the sea, and when it comes to the country that develops the ocean the most, relies on it the most, and is the most powerful, then it really is the White City Federation!

King Wuguang nodded slightly: "That's right, and they are very likely to be colluding with the White City Federation, so don't underestimate those humans. Also, I need you to launch an attack as soon as possible, Thousand Transformations Lord. If the Sea Royal Court activates the artifact first and creates new aquatic brethren, then we'll be in trouble."

Zhuang Sen couldn't have asked for this more than he could have.

Chapter 298: Calling for the Source of Bloodline

"Very well, then this matter is settled." King Wuguang decided on a plan to deliver a heavy blow to his fellow demons, and incidentally, to crush the White City Federation, which was just a roadside outpost. But the meeting was not over. King Wuguang continued, "Then, let's discuss the organization left behind by the True Blood Duke. Thousand Transformations Duke, Dragon Bone Duke, who among you intends to take it over?"

Zhuang Sen naturally had no desire to get involved. The Bloodline Order of the Fallen Star Kingdom, aside from a very small number who fled to the True Blood Lord's side, had been completely wiped out by Serafina. So he spoke first: "I have no interest in them; I have my own territory."

Dragon Bone Duke paused for a moment, then swayed his bone tail: "Then I'll take over. Hmm, how about this, Zhuang Sen, you manage those useless people first, and I'll take over when I get here, so I don't have to transfer people from here to help you fight."

This matter was nothing to the monsters. With just a few words, they turned the loyal True Blood Lord and the Source Blood Cult into cannon fodder for Zhuang Sen to beat up the White City Federation. However, Zhuang Sen had no sympathy for them, and having their contact information would also make it convenient for him to first target and eliminate some of the extremist creatures who were also notorious for their evil deeds within the Source Blood Cult.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, but you'd better hurry up. If we need to speed up the battle for White City, I might not be able to handle it all."

With a few words, Zhuang Sen thought the meeting was finally over, but King Wuguang spoke again: "Then, one last thing, Lord Qianbian, we need your contribution."

Zhuang Sen immediately became alert: "What does this mean, King Wuguang?"

King Wuguang remained calm, explaining in a clear voice, "Based on your performance over this period, the research on the blood you provided, and your current condition as I see it with my own eyes, Lord Qianbian, I believe Lord Culling's assessment of you was quite credible. Furthermore, now that the aquatic monsters of the Sea Emperor's Court have obtained the divine artifact, just in case, we need to have some backup options..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Put everything else aside for now. What is meant by 'the judgment of the Creeping King'? What did Brad tell you?"

Zhuang Sen was genuinely puzzled, while King Wuguang raised his hand and released Brad's image again, making him repeat his previous statement, which was that Zhuang Sen was a pure, self-replicating, destined monster who did not need a divine artifact, and the savior of monsters.

Zhuang Sen's expression was one of surprise, but his heart was breaking. Why was this stinking mud monster having such a good impression of him? However, he had no desire for any physical interaction with these monsters—not even mentally! So he immediately and firmly refused: "No, I don't believe I am that kind of being. You know, I even have amnesia! And, and we don't have the inferior reproductive organs of humans!"

Monsters, created as cannon fodder by monster girls, weren't given any reproductive organs. None of them had penises or vaginas, and naturally, they lacked corresponding habits and preferences. Even if they were said to have pure blood and be destined monsters, they couldn't possibly violate this basic condition, right? What's the difference between this and allowing humans to reproduce on their own? Leaving aside whether the technology is up to par, this hardly qualifies as pure!

King of No Light nodded: "Indeed, but based on my research on your blood, I have discovered that you do possess the ability to reproduce on your own. It is a pity that we do not have a corresponding mother to conduct an absolutely pure reproduction test, but through your personal demonstration, I believe we can start with those bloodline holders... In short, I will provide you with one hundred angels of no light who possess female characteristics. Please sow your seed in them and see if offspring can be produced, and what the specific effects of the offspring will be."

King Wuguang spoke calmly, without the intensity he'd shown when he declared his intention to deal with the Sea Emperor's Court. But Zhuang Sen sensed a genuine sense of unease; he didn't want a hundred more of King Wuguang's henchmen in his own home. He had too many secrets, none of which King Wuguang could know! So he resolutely shook his head: "No, I will not accept this, King Wuguang!"

Dragonbone Duke scratched his head in confusion: "What's so unacceptable about this, Thousand-Change Duke? Don't you enjoy doing this kind of thing with those inferior beings?"

Zhuang Sen was speechless for a moment. Given his reputation as a lecher, he shouldn't refuse such a "good thing," but he quickly found a reason: "I have no interest in the King of No Light, and I don't want to have a hundred of her spies around."

The organizational structure of the ancient demons reveals their independent nature and mutual wariness. Therefore, while Zhuang Sen's statement somewhat contradicts King Wuguang's, it is logically sound; at least Dragonbone Duke has been persuaded. However, King Wuguang clearly does not accept this condition. She gazes at Zhuang Sen and calmly says, "In that case, let's hold a vote."

The Dragonbone King nonchalantly retreated into his skull throne, the soul fire in his eye sockets burning ever brighter. Clearly, he was indifferent; after all, the hundred Dark Angels weren't assigned to him, right? So he simply communicated his divine seal, awakening the consciousness of the skeletal monsters slumbering in this ancient gathering place from their long slumber, allowing them to choose how to carry out this task. The Dark Angel King, of course, had already summoned numerous divine figures, using pure holy light to imbue the orbs of light floating on the long table with a unique color.

Compared to King Wuguang and Lord Longgu, "Lord Qianbian," who was sitting blankly in the chair, seemed quite an eyesore. Lord Longgu asked in surprise, "Lord Qianbian, you haven't even forgotten how to summon the source of your bloodline, have you?"

Zhuang Sen wasn't worried. Since he had already established his amnesiac monster persona, he directly asked, "What is meant by the source of bloodline?"

Dragon Bone Duke seemed to choke, and after a long pause, he shook his head and said, "This assembly hall has been passed down from our era and is the place of inheritance for all demons. As long as you hold a divine seal, you can communicate with the assembly hall and awaken the consciousness of the same kind of demon to vote on current matters. Any order that is passed must be carried out by all demons, otherwise they will be attacked by all demons and will also suffer severe bloodline weakening."

As he spoke, Dragonbone Duke looked up at the orb of light, which was already one-third stained, and continued, "Now it's just the three of us voting, and it seems that the King of No Light has gained the full support of her clan. If you don't act now..."

Although Zhuang Sen wasn't afraid of any weakening of his bloodline, since he wasn't a real demon, he didn't want to reveal his identity. Under these circumstances, even without waiting for the Angel of No Light to arrive, he would still be suspected even if he didn't summon the source of his bloodline to object—who told him to have opposed it so vehemently before!

There's no way the opposition would abstain from voting!

The problem is, he doesn't have a divine seal either!

No matter what, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.

Zhuang Sen looked at the skull throne beneath the Dragon Bone King, which was glowing with a faint green light, and focused his attention on the Thousand-Faced Throne beneath him. In an instant, without any hindrance, his spirit merged into a sea of ​​consciousness. The once stagnant sea seemed to have been hit by a nuclear bomb, instantly boiling over. Outwardly, one figure after another appeared behind Zhuang Sen, and the light symbolizing negation quickly overwhelmed the opinions of the Lightless King and the Dragon Bone King, directly and overwhelmingly turning the sphere of light back to its original color.

However, at this moment, King Wuguang and Duke Longgu were no longer paying attention to the voting results. They were just staring in astonishment at the group of "people" behind Zhuang Sen. From the Holy Race to the Dark Race, from the Flame Race to the Frost Race, from the Nature Race to the Mechanical Race... all the monsters—except those behind King Wuguang and Duke Longgu—stood behind Zhuang Sen and cast their votes of refusal in unison.

You Thousand-Faced Lord! You still say you're not the savior of the demons!

Chapter 299: The High Wall of Consciousness

King Wuguang and Duke Longgu had never seen anyone garner such support from so many different kinds of monsters. If such a person were to appear in the age of monsters, they might gain their first absolute ruler, instead of a scattered group of kings and dukes. Even now, King Wuguang and Duke Longgu were deeply shaken, unsure how to view Zhuang Sen. However, Zhuang Sen had no time to concern himself with their thoughts; he was immersed in a unique feeling.

He felt as if he were in a boundless ocean, surrounded by countless "droplets" that would create waves with the slightest movement and then instantly subside; it was as if he had become incredibly large, his body as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the ocean, with countless consciousnesses echoing his will, amplifying his power to an immeasurable extent! This feeling was so wonderful that he was momentarily immersed in it, involuntarily and instinctively exploring the depths of this ocean of consciousness.

As he explored, one consciousness after another submitted to his will, as if he were the absolute king. All the monsters bowed down before him without any resistance. This naturally aroused Zhuang Sen's idea of ​​controlling the monsters. If he could absolutely control these ancient monsters, he could naturally prevent their evil deeds and avoid conflicts between them and the monster girls. At the same time, more and more novel sensations flooded into his consciousness: the sublimity of angelic hymns, the madness of demonic slaughter, the tranquility of elf dances, the unrestrained wildness of orc hunting... All of this made him feel increasingly pleased. Even if there was a moment when something felt wrong, the overwhelming pleasure instantly overwhelmed it, pulling Zhuang Sen deeper and deeper, until the next instant, or perhaps after eternity, Zhuang Sen suddenly touched a layer of cold, ruthless, and boundless will.

It was as if a towering wall stretched across the heavens and earth, a machine that manipulated all things, forcefully shutting out Zhuang Sen's invincible consciousness, even making contact with it. In that instant, it was as if a giant hammer had slammed down on Zhuang Sen's head. Intense pain and a jumble of information rushed into Zhuang Sen's mind at the same time. Some strange change seemed to be about to happen, but before it could truly begin, another force, like the Dantalian that had seen Zhuang Sen, launched a violent attack, destroying that force along with the information, completely expelling it!

【Detection...￥%...&*！ @#！ @￥——Clear! 】

Zhuang Sen suddenly snapped back to reality. The kaleidoscope-like sensations he had just experienced vanished without a trace, but correspondingly, his absolute control over those ancient demons also dissipated. However, Zhuang Sen, who still remembered the cold, towering wall, knew very well that unless he could defeat that thing, these seemingly absolutely obedient demons could be taken away by it at any moment. If what he had just experienced represented his "destined emperor" status, then that wall represented "absolute conquest," representing the two extremes of rule by law and plunder by force. And clearly, Zhuang Sen's current strength was insufficient to confront that wall.

But what exactly is that thing? The gods of the demons? The Alaya-vijnana? The defensive measures of this assembly hall?

There were too many possibilities, and none of them had absolute evidence. Zhuang Sen could only shake his head, make a note of them, and then look at the still astonished King Wuguang and Duke Longgu, saying as usual, "It seems the vote can end now?"

King Wuguang remained silent, and Lord Longgu hesitated to speak, but as the ball of light disappeared, the result also crashed to the ground. Zhuang Sen yawned, stretched, and said, "Well then, that's enough for today. I'm going to prepare for the attack on the White City Federation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Sen severed the connection. The throne with its thousand reliefs flickered, its pure white color dimming. The Dragon Bone King opened his mouth, then looked at the King of No Light, only to see a dissipating point of light. Finally, he could only close his eyes and turn into scattered bones on the ground.

……

Zhuang Sen's bedroom.

Zhuang Sen tossed aside the monster communicator, patted Zero, who was hanging on his back, and asked curiously why his perfect maid was suddenly acting so cute: "What's wrong, Zero?"

Zero slid from Zhuang Sen's shoulder into his arms, her face pressed against his. Her bright eyes seemed to want to devour him, meticulously examining every inch of him, even prying open his mouth and licking it thoroughly, and continuing on without being satisfied. Zhuang Sen could only look at Dantalian, who had already leaned in and said knowingly, "A few seconds ago, Zero suddenly said you were attacked, and she wanted to help defend you, and then this is what you see."

As she spoke, Da Ke'ai hugged Zhuang Sen, her soft, voluptuous breasts easily enveloping his head. The soft, smooth touch instantly relaxed Zhuang Sen's tense thoughts, and he lazily recounted what had just happened. Unfortunately, even Zero, who had sensed the attack on him, didn't understand what he had seen. After all, she was carrying on the legacy of a monster girl, not a monster herself. Who knew what the monsters had developed after the monster girls fell silent?

Since they couldn't reach an agreement, they decided to stop discussing it. Zhuang Sen stretched and looked out the window at the bright spring sunshine, saying, "Let's talk about the attack on White City first. Celine, how's the situation with your father?"

While munching on the small cakes that Zhuang Sen had made for her, Celine replied, "The last communication said it was almost done, and since it's just a feint over there, I don't think it's a problem to launch it now."

Zhuang Sen: "Where is Sister Serafina? Is she ready to deal with Grand Duke Starr?"

"Once the war with White City begins, Duke Borodi King Starr will surely rebel. That might be his only chance. If he can storm the palace before the Titan King returns, he still has a chance to use the artifact to break through to level five bloodline and fight back."

Celine spread her wings and flew into Zhuang Sen's arms, pushing away Zero, who was secretly trying to burrow into Zhuang Sen's clothes: "My sister's army has all been equipped with rune gear. I think dealing with Grand Duke Starr shouldn't be a problem. But just in case, darling, why don't you go back and help your sister awaken her runes?"

Looking at Celine who had carved the map onto the knife handle, Zhuang Sen patted her pert, peach-shaped buttocks speechlessly: "Fine, why not? Anyway, we'll be back soon, we'll be back in a bit."

Since Zero came along, Zhuang Sen's monster girls have achieved freedom of inheritance, so Zhuang Sen has gained several more nest anchor points. Now, there is another [Dog Girl Nest] in Zhuang Sen's bedroom. Although the random monster girls are generally not very strong, [Spatial Teleportation] and [Bloodline Resonance] can still be used, so it is easy to go see Serafina, who did not come to the Thousand Towers Kingdom.

Chapter 300: A Two-Dragon Attack (3562 words)

The blinding white light subsided, and Zhuang Sen returned to his eternally loyal Glorious Manor. Celine eagerly took to the sky, searching for Serafina's whereabouts, while Ange, equally mischievous as her younger sister, joined in, flapping her eye-catching pink wings. Zhuang Sen shook his head helplessly, letting his two bratty sisters run wild, and looked at Missy, who had come with him. The afternoon sun danced and played on her purple witch's hat, the tassels on the brim swaying gently in the breeze: "Misty, how are you feeling?"

Missy was tilting her head slightly, sunlight filtering through the brim of her hat and falling on her fair cheeks, outlining a soft, crescent-moon-like profile. Having awakened as a book demon, Missy could naturally use [Spatial Teleportation], and for the same reason, she was now particularly happy to accompany Zhuang Sen on various missions. She remained as serene and intellectual as ever, her hands lightly clasped in her wide sleeves, her posture an elegant model of a scholar, far more fitting for a literary girl than the now unrestrained, coquettish Miss Mira. Yet, in her amber eyes, which occasionally glanced at Zhuang Sen, the deep affection flowing within was undeniable, as thick and warm as melted honey.

This affection wasn't unfounded. It stemmed from the monster girl's innate affinity for Zhuang Sen, but even more so from his two crucial acts of kindness—resolving the deadly threat posed by the True Blood Lord and awakening the long-dormant Zero. These two acts held even greater weight in her heart.

An ancient demon with strength far exceeding that of an ordinary level five bloodline user lurked in the shadows, infiltrating the Thousand Towers Kingdom with malicious intent, ready to strike at any moment. If Zhuang Sen hadn't exposed this matter, if Zhuang Sen hadn't bestowed upon Missy the power of the demon girl bloodline, even with the support of the professional system, Missy wouldn't have been able to guarantee that she could defeat the True Blood Duke. If any mishap had occurred, the Thousand Towers Kingdom would probably have already become a ruin ravaged by demons, and all the books she had protected throughout her life, the research she had poured her heart and soul into, and the people she regarded as family would have turned to ashes.

As for Zero, things are even simpler. Zero's computational efficiency after waking up is far higher than when he was dormant. Even with only one interface left for use, the speed of demonstrating abilities, simulating energy flow, and accessing data has increased several times over. The research on the professional system, which was originally worried would stagnate, has now entered a fast track, with new results emerging one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, allowing the research on the entire system to become more in-depth.

Based on these two incidents alone, whether as a scholar, researcher, or the de facto ruler of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, Missy's affection for Zhuang Sen was rapidly growing. Coupled with the natural catalyst of her monster girl bloodline, this feeling had already spread like wildfire in her heart. If it weren't for her busy schedule these past few days, and the fact that the [Book Demon]'s personality was inherently more passive and reserved than the assertive [Lamia], she probably would have already…

Missy subconsciously pulled down the brim of her witch's hat, trying to hide her slightly flushed cheeks from her racing thoughts, but her burning ear tips still betrayed her embarrassment. She took a deep breath and tried to answer in a calm tone: "It's a very strange feeling. The sensation of spatial energy flowing through my blood is very clear, but unfortunately, I still couldn't grasp its essence."

"It's okay, I was just trying it out anyway."

Zhuang Sen smiled gently. Having Missy try to analyze the nest's functions was simply a convenient excuse to get her involved in the operation. He wouldn't make things difficult for this quiet scholar, something even Zero couldn't do. But that didn't mean he could underestimate this book spirit—she was a scholar-type monster girl naturally skilled in research, analysis, and replication. She could see through the principles of ordinary abilities at a glance, making replication a piece of cake.

Hearing Zhuang Sen's gentle words, Missy's heart raced even faster, her fingertips curling slightly at her sleeve, feeling the coolness of the fabric against her skin. But before she could catch her breath and reply, Celine swooped down like a pink cannonball, rushing into Zhuang Sen's arms with a whooshing sound: "Zhuang Sen! Come quick, come quick, your sister is over there in the rose bushes!"

She excitedly grabbed Zhuang Sen's arm and shook it from side to side, her fiery red eyes gleaming with anticipation—she couldn't wait to see the usually aloof and proud Serafina show a shy and demure side in front of Zhuang Sen! Just thinking about it made her want to cheer!

Johnson gave Missy a helpless yet indulgent smile, then obediently let Celine pull him forward. The two little ones, Lime and Piper, were already clinging to him, one covering his shoulders and neck, the other tugging at his clothes, their chatter as melodious as birdsong. Missy watched their retreating figures, her warm pink lips unconsciously curving into a shallow smile. Johnson's smile replayed in her mind—that helpless yet affectionate expression—making her heart pound like a deer's, a jumble of thoughts swirling within her.

"Teacher, you're doomed! You've fallen in love!"

The sudden burst of teasing laughter made Missy freeze, as if she had been frozen in place. Only when the charming yet mocking voice rang out again did she realize who it was. Her tense body slowly relaxed, but she deliberately put on a stern face, adopting the authority of a teacher, and said in a low voice, "Mira! Don't talk nonsense!"

Mira crossed her arms over her chest, her fingertips gently cradling the soft, plump melon that Zhuang Sen had been nourishing day and night, a sly smile playing on her lips. She observed her teacher's flushed ears and virtuous face with interest, her tone growing increasingly teasing: "Ms. Misty, don't pretend in front of me~ Don't you really want to push Zhuang Sen onto the bed, and then do this and that..."

"Shut up!" Hearing her disciple's increasingly explicit and lewd words, Missy's delicate face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, even her neck flushed with an alluring blush. She was no stranger to human anatomy, but the context and the target were different, so her feelings were naturally different. If she had no feelings for Zhuang Sen, no matter what Mira said, she would only give a cold glare and punish this restless disciple by making her copy the classics ten times; if it weren't Mira, she wouldn't feel so ashamed, but Mira was both her disciple and Zhuang Sen's wife, and she felt like she'd been caught in adultery… This brat must be doing it on purpose! She was definitely being sarcastic and mocking her!

Seeing Missy's expression, Mira roughly understood what Missy was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, stop teasing the teacher. Seriously, if you want to win over Zhuang Sen, the best way is to just go up and kiss him. He can't handle it."

Missy abruptly pulled her hat down, almost burying her face in shadow, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the sky ahead—Zhuang Sen's figure was almost disappearing around the corner. She struggled to keep her voice calm: "Let's hurry, or we'll lose them."

Mira smiled and spread her bat wings, the black membranes shimmering like satin in the sunlight, and slowly followed. Missy floated behind, trying to catch up while taking deep breaths and trying to calm her burning cheeks, but her heart pounding like a drum just wouldn't stop.

……

On the training grounds outside Radiant Manor, Celine was dragging Zhuang Sen down from the sky. The enormous red dragon wings, when unfurled, blotted out the sun; the red light reflected from the scales was almost blinding, not to mention the invisible yet extremely oppressive dragon's might—leaving the nearby nobles and red dragon guards training in stunned silence. Many in the Fallen Star Kingdom still believed Celine was just a charming noblewoman, completely unaware that she had already awakened her red dragon bloodline. Furthermore, given that Celine should theoretically be handling affairs in the Thousand Towers Kingdom at this moment, these people, seeing the sudden appearance of this "imposter," instinctively placed their hands on their weapons, almost ready to attack.

Fortunately, Serafina spoke up in time, her cool voice carrying an undeniable authority: "Stop." She was dressed in a crisp military uniform, the silver-gray fabric making her figure appear even more upright and sturdy, but her gaze towards Celine held a hint of helplessness. "Celine, where did you learn your manners?"

Celine stuck out her tongue, immediately suppressing her dragon-like aura and obediently releasing her grip on Zhuang Sen's hand. Serafina's gaze then shifted to Zhuang Sen, her once sharp eyes now much softer, and even her tone unconsciously softened: "Zhuang Sen, why did you suddenly come back?"

“Let’s find a quiet place to talk, Sister Serafina.” Zhuang Sen smiled and put down Lim and Piper from his arms. The two little ones had been making a ruckus during the flight, pulling his clothes into disarray. As he raised his hand to straighten his clothes, a pair of slender and strong hands reached out first—the fingertips were slightly cool to the touch, gently smoothing out each wrinkle, even carefully tying up the collar that Lim had pulled askew, the movements as gentle as if they were handling a rare treasure.

"Wow~" Serena's eyes lit up as she watched from the side, deliberately drawing out her words to cheer. Serafina's ears turned slightly red, but she simply withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened and nodded slightly: "No problem, Johnson—you guys continue training, don't worry about us."

Upon receiving the order, the Red Dragon Guards immediately dispersed and resumed their training. The clanging of metal and shouts rang out once more, filled with a powerful energy. The other nobles also tactfully excused themselves, and the training ground quickly quieted down. Celine, grinning, pushed Serafina and pulled Johnson along as the three walked side by side toward the ceremonial chamber deep within Radiant Manor.

"...That's how it is. It's now confirmed that your awakening is fine, but there might be some issues with your thinking. If you can accept that, I've already prepared the potion."

Zhuang Sen took out the Red Dragon Girl's Awakening Potion and looked at Serafina. He had already briefly explained the pros and cons of awakening along the way, including the somewhat brainwashing-like idea that she would develop feelings for him after awakening—after all, this was his sister-in-law, and honesty was paramount. Serafina listened quietly, her gaze softening with Zhuang Sen's words. Her usually aloof blue eyes were now filled with a warm light, like melting glaciers. Without hesitation, she took the potion from Zhuang Sen, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp, her movements swift and decisive.

Suddenly, ferocious dragon horns burst forth from her hair, fiery red like molten lava; her military uniform ripped apart with a snap, and the unfolding of her enormous red dragon wings created a gale that violently shook the candlelight, casting flickering shadows on the wall; her already crimson eyes were now ablaze with a scorching red, brimming with wild power. She stared intently at Zhuang Sen, her gaze seeming to burn him to ashes, but the next moment she took a step forward, grabbed the collar she had just smoothed out, and commanded, "Then, begin to increase your strength, little brother Zhuang Sen."

Celine immediately switched into her dragon girl form with great enthusiasm, her fiery red dragon tail swaying joyfully. She hugged Zhuang Sen from behind, her voice as sweet as honey: "Let's begin, little brother Zhuang Sen~"

Just then, the wooden door to the ceremonial room was gently pushed open with a creak. Missy, who had arrived late, walked in and was immediately confronted with the thrilling scene of the two dragons attacking her from behind—Seraphina forcefully grabbing her collar, Celine intimately embracing her from behind, and Johnson caught in the middle with a slightly helpless yet indulgent smile. Instantly, her cheeks, which had just calmed down, flushed red again, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks, even forgetting the rhythm of her breathing.

Missy's intrusion did not interrupt Serafina's actions, nor did it affect the preparations of the other monster girls. Dantalian's slender fingertips scattered soft golden light, enveloping the ritual room like flowing moonlight. Her half-human, half-snake body was covered with holy white scales, which shimmered like pearls in the light. The roots beneath Hana's feet gently writhed, and flexible and sturdy vines crawled up the ground, weaving a soft green brocade, with crystal dewdrops adorning the tips of the vines. Lady Lia's pure white spider silk spread out in the air like the finest velvet, precisely catching the fallen Johnson—or more accurately, catching Celine, who was pinned beneath Johnson, and then indirectly supporting Johnson's body. The spider silk had a slightly cool touch when it touched the skin.

Under the combined pressure of gravity and Serafina, Celine's already full breasts were flattened and rounded, her delicate, porcelain-like skin pressed tightly against Zhuang Sen's back, glowing an alluring pink with excitement, even radiating a slight warmth. That familiar, vibrant scent lingered in Zhuang Sen's nostrils, a sweet blend of sunshine and roses, like the most lively musical notes stirring his heartstrings, making his breathing quicken involuntarily. Her fiery red hair cascaded over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled, gently brushing against Zhuang Sen's neck with each sway of her body, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.
