Chapter 8 Evil Dragon, do you prefer your bed dry or damp when you sleep? (1) From the extra collection point of Chapter 178 of the main text, reader "Merlin's Pink Boxer Briefs"
"Evil dragon! In the name of the Holy Light, I have come for the 66th time to vanquish it—uh?"
Li Yuheng, who proclaimed himself the most handsome knight in the entire kingdom, kicked open the gate of the Dragon's Nest and then froze on the spot.
A sweet, almost alluring aroma wafted in the air, holding him back.
Deep inside the cave, the familiar black-haired youth was curled up on a pile of dazzling gems; something was clearly wrong.
His cheeks were flushed an unnaturally, his eyes were unfocused and glazed, and his breathing was heavy.
"What are you looking at?" the young man said rudely, his voice hoarse but still sharp. "Haven't you ever seen a dragon in heat before?"
Li Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly by slamming the door shut behind him, cutting off the inside from the outside.
He strode up to the young man and bent down to examine him closely.
The young man's face was fully exposed in the cave's dim light.
Beads of sweat slid down his temples, across his cheeks flushed an unnatural red, and finally dangled precariously from his slightly pointed chin.
Those once arrogant black eyes were now glistening with tears, their focus somewhat unfocused, and their long eyelashes were damp with sweat, clinging together in strands.
He pressed his lips together, trying to maintain his last shred of dignity, but the slight trembling of his lips betrayed his helplessness.
“…Oh dear,” Li Yuheng stroked his chin, a bright smile on his face, “This is truly…an unexpected delight.”
"roll!"
Enraged, the dragon grabbed a ruby and threw it at the dragon.
Li Yuheng easily dodged it.
"Hey, not bad~" the knight chuckled.
Evil Dragon: "..."
He could only glare at Li Yuheng more fiercely, beads of sweat constantly sliding down his clearly defined jawline and disappearing deep into his collar.
He tried to make his voice sound as fierce as usual, but the tone that came out was soft and weak, with an abnormal hoarseness, and the end of the sentence even rose slightly:
"Li Yuheng... I'm not in the mood to talk to you today. If you're here to cause trouble again, then you'd better be smart and get lost."
These words, coupled with the scene before him, had no deterrent effect on Li Yuheng; in fact, they even carried a hint of invitation.
Li Yuheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly squatted down, taking out a clean handkerchief.
"Oh dear, Shubai, look at all that sweat on your face." He naturally reached out and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Shubai's forehead, his tone full of concern. "Although you're not in the mood, I am very much in the mood."
Shu Bai suddenly turned her head to dodge, but her body went limp and she was a step too slow.
The cool fabric touched his skin, bringing a brief moment of comfort, which was quickly overwhelmed by his even greater rage.
"Get your filthy hands off me! Li Yuheng, can't you understand dragon language? I told you to get lost!"
Li Yuheng withdrew his hand, looked at the wet stains on the handkerchief, and smiled even more brightly, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Get lost? That's no fun. I like to take advantage of dragons when they're in trouble. Especially a dragon that's usually so arrogant, but now looks like... well, completely helpless."
"Screw you!" Shu Bai was so angry that she wanted to scratch him, but her fingers just curled up weakly, and her breathing became more rapid. "When I recover, I'll roast you to a crisp first!"
"Oh? Then I'd better do some things that are worth getting roasted to a crisp before you recover."
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over Shu Bai's flushed neck and the slightly open collar. "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"you……!"
Shu Bai was so enraged by his shameless remarks that her vision blurred. She struggled to sit up, but only made the gems beneath her rattle even more chaotically.
He took a deep breath, attempting to unleash the most vicious language, "Li Yuheng, you are truly the most shameless, the most despicable, the most..."
"The most handsome and dashing knight?" Li Yuheng kindly helped him finish the sentence, even nodding in agreement. "Thank you for the compliment, I think so too."
Shu Bai: "..."
He felt like he was about to be so angry at this bastard that he would end his heat prematurely and just collapse.
Shu Bai turned her head away in anger, her breathing rapid, not wanting to look at Li Yuheng's irritating face any longer.
Seeing his expression, Li Yuheng toned down his joking and folded the handkerchief neatly, placing it aside.
"Look at you, you're upset even after I told you." His tone sounded somewhat helpless. "Alright, don't be angry, I didn't do anything. Besides, I just wanted to chat with you and distract you so you could feel better."
Shu Bai forced out the words through clenched teeth: "...You're really that kind?"
"Of course I do. My greatest strength is my kind heart and willingness to help others."
Shu Bai sneered, but due to exhaustion, the laughter sounded somewhat weak: "A weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken."
"Hey, what are you saying? If I'm a weasel, you're not a chicken. You're a noble dragon." Li Yuheng leaned against the pile of gems, finding a relatively comfortable position. "Speak, what do you want to talk about? This knight is in a good mood today and will keep you company to the end."
Shu Bai closed her eyes, too lazy to argue with him: "...Getting away from me is the best help you can give."
“No, that won’t do. Who will stay with you if I leave? What if you’re so upset that you tear down the cave? It would be such a waste to destroy all these sparkly treasures.”
Li Yuheng casually picked up a sapphire and tossed it around, "Hey, seriously, is this how all dragons are during their heat cycle? Is there any way to relieve it?"
A vein throbbed on Shu Bai's forehead: "...None of your business."
"Just curiosity. Look at us humans, we can usually handle things ourselves in this situation—"
"Li Yuheng! If you utter another word, I'll tear your mouth apart even if it means I explode!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about something else. Like... what happened to that princess you kidnapped last time? I heard she went back and lost ten pounds."
"...She was too noisy, so we threw her back halfway there."
"Tsk, you have no patience. The princess is still talking about you every day after she goes back."
"...Why is she nagging me?"
"Maybe it's because your human form is handsome?" Li Yuheng tilted his head to look at him, "Although he's a little less handsome than me."
Shu Bai was so disgusted by his narcissism that she almost vomited: "...Can you shut up?"
"No, I said I'd chat with you to distract you." Li Yuheng changed the subject. "So what do you do when you're not catching princesses? Count jewels? Sleep? Or go looking for trouble with other dragons?"
"……sleep."
"How boring. Look at me, I'm either patrolling or training every day, and I even get to take on a mission to slay a dragon occasionally. My life is so fulfilling."
"Then he got beaten to a pulp by the dragon."
"Here I am again, aren't I? You know, the more setbacks you take, the stronger you become, right?"
Shu Bai took a deep breath, feeling that while chatting with this bastard had diverted her attention, it had also raised her blood pressure.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Li Yuheng, what exactly are you here for?"
Li Yuheng looked completely innocent: "Didn't I say I'd help you get through your heat period?"
Shu Bai, unable to bear it any longer, abruptly propped herself up, her arms still trembling slightly: "Help me? My blood pressure is even higher now, and I feel even worse all over! You call this helping?!"
Li Yuheng muttered to himself, "Is there really such a good thing?"
"……What did you say???"
