The boy's sharp teeth lightly brushed against the dragon's horns.
The dragon shuddered, its wings trembling as well.
He had no choice but to stretch out his large melon seed and lift Si Jin's small body up to his eyes.
A stern reprimand: "Stop fooling around, I'm not joking with you."
“I wasn’t joking either,” Si Jin said. “I’ll go back to the Evil Dragon Kingdom with you.”
The dragon insisted, "But you're already at my doorstep..."
“It’s alright.” Si Jin glanced sideways at the direction where Ferrion had just disappeared, not caring much: “Just consider it me being merciful to you and granting him ten more days to live.”
"Jinjin, you're being naughty."
"Uncle, if you don't take me with you, you'll have to spend the rest of the breeding seasons on your own."
The two threats were increasingly ruthless.
In the end, Lin Yuan conceded defeat and was the first to fall.
"You said it yourself, don't regret it later."
After saying that, he put Si Jin back on his back and spread his wings to fly away.
High in the sky, he heard the handsome young man answer, his voice containing a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
"I will never go back on my word."
… …
It was already dawn when they returned to the Dragon Kingdom.
The sun shone brightly, casting golden rays that bathed the streets and alleys.
But unlike usual, the streets were deserted.
The dragons, who were usually diligent and hardworking, have all disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there were rows and rows of soundproof magic circles.
When combined, they are particularly spectacular.
Upon seeing this, Si Jin's initially relaxed attitude tightened slightly.
Reproduction is an animal's instinct.
This is especially evident in dragons, whose bodies are covered in fire.
To prepare for these ten days, some dragons will even fly to other countries and stay in places like brothels for a few days.
Thinking of this, Si Jin suddenly felt a little worried about her back.
Just as I was about to complain, the system had already automatically entered the blacklist.
Si Jin: ...
Fine, I'll keep my promise, even if it ruins my back.
Soon, they returned to the familiar Dragon King's Palace.
Despite his discomfort, the guard dutifully approached Lin Yuan to report.
"Your Majesty, this year's bone-piercing iron chain has been placed in your bedchamber. Is there anything else you require?"
Lin Yuan tightened his embrace around the boy, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Take a look at the hot springs by the volcano and make sure there is a sufficient supply of hot water."
The guard paused for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
In the past, the king had always fought against the dragon's instincts alone.
When he couldn't bear it any longer, he would use a chain enchanted with magic to pierce his own shoulder blade.
I locked myself to the headboard and endured those difficult ten days, bleeding and weeping.
So, if a dragon tells you that he will remain chaste for you.
That proves he truly loves you with his life.
But why... do I need hot water this year?
But the next moment, the guard saw the slender little mermaid in his arms.
It immediately understood, responded, and then struggled to spread its wings and fly away.
Lin Yuan then carried Si Jin and quickly entered the bedchamber.
Although he was rational and restrained enough.
But once back in the Evil Dragon Kingdom, Si Jin could clearly sense it.
The person holding them looked like a giant fireball.
It gets incredibly hot to the touch, as if it could set you on fire.
He had intended to find an excuse to decline, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw two chains covered in barbs hanging above the bed.
The chain was as thick as his waist, and it was enchanted with magic that amplified his pain.
It appears to be a cruel act deliberately committed by the owner in order to keep him conscious.
Si Jin's heart trembled.
She spoke softly, "Dragons have an average lifespan of five hundred years and reach adulthood at twenty-five. So, you used to spend your breeding seasons like this?"
Seemingly sensing his worry, Lin Yuan put him down and kissed him softly: "What's wrong? You're not dead, are you?"
"So you see, nature is something that can't be overcome."
Si Jin: "Then why don't you do what the other dragons do..."
"Because I'm waiting for you." The dragon's hand stroked the silver tail that the boy was gradually transforming into.
Found a scale.
lightly……
He said, "Jingjing, from the moment I saw you, I knew that everything I've done and all the suffering I've endured over the years was for the sake of meeting you in the best possible way."
