After a backward glance and a smile, Bugs Bunny mechanically turned his head.
Once again, his face reverted to a murderous expression, his eyes glowing red.
Hanging from the stone beam with his claws, he furiously performed pull-ups, his speed even faster than before!
He was exhilarated. The addition of the bird demon was very welcome, and he was already impatiently looking forward to it.
The great Black Dragon Master had acquired another new follower, which meant more punching bags to spar with.
And the new sparring partner could fly.
Perfect for practicing Aerial Tombstone Piledrivers.
The more Bugs Bunny thought about it, the more excited he became. Violent yet beautiful images filled his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a series of "huff huff" roars, stone chips flying off the beam.
Seeing Bugs Bunny's menacingly kind demeanor,
Chicken Too Pretty took a step back, visibly shaken.
"You'll definitely become friends. As the saying goes, 'no fight, no friendship.' All those feathers on you? Bugs Bunny plucked them himself, so don't be scared."
Chicken Too Pretty: "… (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻"
Su Nian gently patted Chicken Too Pretty on the shoulder before suddenly changing the subject, asking:
"I've heard that bird demons have sweet singing voices. Is that true?"
"Oh great master, yes, that's true."
"Sometimes, we lure human adventurers into hunting zones through singing."
"Then, we work together to kill them and take their gear and supplies."
Chicken Too Pretty nodded, respectfully bowing low. When talking about her area of expertise, a hint of pride appeared on her face.
"Not bad, not bad. Sing me a couple of lines."
At that moment, the kobold Bolikri happened to bring over a bowl of crocodile egg soup, holding it high above his head and presenting it to Su Nian.
"Oh great master, the crocodile egg soup, prepared exactly as you instructed. Please enjoy."
Su Nian took the soup from Bolikri.
Bringing his dragon head close to the porcelain bowl, he took a sniff.
The scent molecules entered his nostrils and were analyzed by his powerful dragon sensory cells.
Lines of information appeared in his mind like computer data.
No toxins, very fresh.
Slightly gamier than chicken egg soup, given that it was made from crocodile eggs, but acceptable.
Besides, eating more gamey food now would help Anna get used to stronger flavors in the future.
Su Nian used his two dragon claws to hold the spoon, scooped up some soup, blew on it gently to cool it down, and then brought it to Anna.
"Big brother, what is this?"
Anna looked at the golden-yellow egg soup in the bowl, swallowing her saliva. Her adorable peach blossom eyes sparkled.
As a little foodie, she was already tempted. Su Nian always managed to make simple yet delicious dishes, things she had never tasted in the Emerald Forest.
However, the source of the ingredients seemed a bit unusual.
Anna hesitated, casting a discreet glance at the corner of the dragon's lair, where the Rock-Armored Crocodile was being ridden by kobolds as they trained for charges.
"Don't worry, they're all broken eggs. The intact ones were left for Clayton and the others."
Su Nian nuzzled Anna's soft, squishy cheek and continued to coax her:
"Besides, Rock-Armored Crocodiles lay eggs so quickly, every day in fact. As their master, eating a couple of eggs is no big deal."
"But…"
Anna still hesitated.
In her mind, since these crocodiles had submitted to Su Nian, they were her friends. And as friends, how could she eat their babies?
This made the kind-hearted Anna feel uneasy.
Yet, the aroma of the soup was so enticing that her throat instinctively swallowed.
"Looks like I'll have to feed you myself."
Su Nian stared at the hesitant Anna, letting out a sinister chuckle. Holding the porcelain bowl in his left hand, he curled his right claw, then flipped it. Amid Anna's surprised exclamation, he gently pressed her onto the leather mat.
Leaning down, Su Nian repeated the method he had used before when feeding her medicine. By now, he was quite skilled, not even letting a drop of egg soup spill from the corner of her mouth.
"Mm."
In the next moment, Anna's small mouth was sealed, thoroughly and without gaps.
Of course, along with the fresh crocodile egg soup.
This was a completely different experience from feeding her bitter medicine when she was sick.
After all, the taste of medicine was bitter and numbing, leaving no other sensation in the mouth, and the tongue felt nothing.
Now, besides the delicious egg soup, Anna could feel something else.
Was this… a kiss?
What a strange feeling, like a tickle on her heartstrings.
Anna's eyes widened slightly, her long lashes fluttering. She felt a bit nervous but mostly confused.
As a girl, how should she react when kissed by a dragon she liked?
Should she act reserved and show resistance?
Or should she be shy?
But she felt no urge to resist, nor did she feel shy.
She even felt a bit… expectant.
Looking at the black dragon before her, she didn't find him the least bit scary or menacing.
On the contrary, she thought her dragon brother was perfect.
Even though they were different species, she could still appreciate the beauty of the black dragon.
His massive dragon body, wide wings, broad chest muscles, crown-like horns, and mysterious golden slit pupils.
And the aura around him, though evil, made her feel incredibly safe.
He was like an emperor, majestic and commanding.
Yet, he reserved his gentlest side just for her.
The surroundings grew quieter, and Anna could clearly hear the strong heartbeat of her dragon brother. That heartbeat seemed to sync with her own, merging into one.
What a powerful life force.
Their babies would surely be amazing, wouldn't they?
Would they grow dragon wings and fly in the sky?
Would they have fox ears and tails?
At this thought, Anna suddenly realized what she was thinking, her entire body flushing with embarrassment.
Oh no… What am I thinking…
How could I…
Am I actually… a naughty girl?
Impossible!
I am definitely not a naughty girl.
It's just… just that seeing her dragon brother take such good care of her, she wanted to give something back.
Yes… that's it.
But, how should she give back?
Anna nervously gripped the leather mat beneath her. While being fed by Su Nian, her mind couldn't help but recall a storybook she had read before.
"The Tsundere Princess Training Plan (Dragon Edition)"
That storybook seemed to describe quite a bit about how to reciprocate during a kiss.
Perhaps it could serve as inspiration.
It seemed quite similar to her current situation.
The only difference was that the dragon in the bard's tale was much smaller than her dragon brother.
She should give her dragon brother some kind of response, to make him happy.
Her delicate face grew redder, her heartbeat quickened, and as tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, she finally made up her mind at the softest moment of her heart… """
