Chapter Fifty-Six: The Little Green Dragon's Little Thoughts

"Then let's wait and see," Elena nodded.

...

Loya didn't care about the confrontation between the man and the dragon; he focused all his energy on training his runes.

In this way, efficiency is improved.

Five minutes later, Orpheus also became Loya's "servant".

Magic: [Great Healing Spell]

Seeing that Orpheus was in a bad state, Loya had no choice but to treat her.

"Alright, hurry up and go build the house. If you don't build it well, I'll show you what cruelty is," Loya, the good brother, roared viciously.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away," Ophie nodded quickly. And she wasn't just being perfunctory; she was genuinely sincere.

Next, I will definitely have to stay here.

However, apart from the red dragon and those fire-attribute extraordinary creatures, there's nothing I like about this environment.

Even the resilient green dragon is no exception.

She couldn't stand living in the open air here, being in direct contact with the intense fire element.

Having a house to isolate yourself would make things more comfortable.

“There are some minor spells in my bloodline that can banish fire elements. I’ll have to learn them properly once the house is built.” Orpheus also had plans for the future. She thought, “Besides that, I’ll also learn some life magic to modify the surrounding environment, create some plants, and grow some fruits and vegetables to increase the diversity of food.”

Although she had only just met Loya, the clever girl immediately realized that Loya liked to eat those fiery serpents. Loya had no intention of eating any other kind of food.

Green dragons can certainly eat fire serpents.

However, they absolutely cannot eat like dragons for a lifetime; they must mix other kinds of food with their diet.

As Ophie pondered this, she walked over to Elena's side.

"Hello, dear Elena," Ophie greeted.

Elena's expression darkened. It had been said before that she was somewhat petty and held grudges.

Of course, Elena also hated Orpheus, that hypocritical dragon.

Although she had beaten up Ophie earlier, Elena was still not completely satisfied.

Now, the thought of torturing the dragon resurfaced in her mind whenever she saw Orpheus.

Orpheus was very perceptive; she noticed Elena's malice.

"Hey, don't be angry. Let bygones be bygones. What's important is the present and the future," Orpheus advised.

"You make it sound so easy." Elena glared at Orpheus and said, "What exactly are you plotting this time?"

Orpheus rolled her eyes. She was completely under Loark's thumb; what kind of scheme could she possibly have? Don't think so badly of her; she's just a child.

She couldn't possibly have that many bad intentions.

If she could beat Elena, she would definitely strike hard and let Elena know that framing her was wrong.

Although she had a lot on her mind, Orpheus remained outwardly obedient. She said, "Your constitution is not well-suited to this environment. And we green dragons also dislike this place. So, let's join forces to modify the surrounding environment and make this place more suitable for us, shall we?"

Yes, Orpheus felt that relying on herself was too tiring and slow. But with Elena's help, it would definitely be much easier.

That made sense, and Elena had no choice but to nod: "If that's all there is to it, then let's have a pleasant collaboration."

Loya arrived silently not far away.

“Yes, that’s great, I agree.” Loya said. He was used to always being in hot places, but the same old hotness would get tiresome.

Orpheus and Elena shuddered at Loya's voice.

"Don't do this. I'm a gentle and easygoing dragon. My previous behavior was all an act." Loya was disheartened by their reactions. He said helplessly, "You should treat me like family."

Family wouldn't brand us with slavery. Elena and Orpheus, seemingly on the same wavelength, shared the same thought at that moment.

The scene fell silent.

Loya also fell silent. He could sense that these two still didn't trust him.

"Oh no, help me..." Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from Finland not far away.

The dragon and the man turned to look and saw a fire serpent more than two meters long coiling around Finland, contracting forcefully.

Finland was too weak to resist. Her bones were already cracking from the constriction, and her skin was scalded red by the intense heat of the serpent.

"Tsk. Nature's bounty has arrived once again." Loya was too lazy to clear up Elena and Ophie's misunderstanding of him. He flashed over and grabbed the Flame Serpent's vital spot, making it go limp.

"Speaking of which, it's time for dinner. You guys keep working, I'll go prepare a feast for you myself." Loya swallowed the fire serpent whole, ignoring the terrified Finland. He left those words and turned to walk towards the cave breeding farm.

"I want to eat a sachet of chubby pig." Although he had just been bullied by a snake, Finland perked up as soon as he heard about food.

"What I eat, you eat too. Kids shouldn't be picky eaters." Loya didn't turn around, but her voice echoed back.

Finland trembled instinctively because Loya's voice contained a distinct chill.

Clearly, Loya disliked Finland's meddling.

"Finland, are you alright?" Elena came over and asked Finland if he was alright.

After Loya walked away, Finland returned to normal. She was utterly baffled by Elena's worries. "Woman, are you out of your mind? Are you mocking me? I am a great dragon, how could anything happen to me? If he hadn't acted so quickly, I would have already killed the snake and shown the snakes the power of a great dragon."

Elena was speechless. She knew that true dragons were all very proud. But why would a true dragon need to lie through its teeth just to show off?

“You’re injured. I know healing magic. Do you want some?” Elena asked.

Finland was stunned, seemingly not expecting Elena to be so kind. But her earlier boasting made her too embarrassed to back down now.

Without realizing it, Finland's expression became conflicted.

Elena laughed. "Sweetie, don't overthink it. Sometimes, you can't hurt yourself just to save face."

Finland raised its head with difficulty, clearly stubborn, "I really can't do anything with you, I agree."

Elena nodded: "Elements that roam freely between heaven and earth, heed my call..."

[Magic: Healing Spell.]

A vibrant green light appeared in mid-air, illuminating Finland and Elena herself.

This time, Elena's casting speed was relatively slow, and she even chanted a little beforehand.

She wasn't putting on airs. She simply couldn't cast spells instantly without the aid of a magic wand.

"Hey, hey, let me join in the fun!" Orpheus rushed over.

Previously, although Loya had also healed Orpheus, the healing was not thorough enough, and he was not completely restored to his original state.

“You…” Elena instinctively wanted to drive Ophie away, not wanting Ophie to take advantage of her.

However, the thought that this was wealth she had acquired at great cost made it impossible for her to say a complete "no."

'Sigh, I'll just have to bear with it for the sake of continuing the kingdom's plans,' Elena thought with frustration.

In fact, this was the reason why we took the initiative to treat Finland earlier.

After going through so much, Elena ended up like this, she no longer has the right to be, nor does she have any right to be, "kind".

Everything she did was for profit.
