Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

She released the Evil Dragon's hand, "Hmph, just as I thought you wouldn't believe me, I specifically brought a rock. Look, don't blink, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived!!!"

The Young Dragon opened its mouth, and a three-meter-long purple Dragon Breath spewed out, engulfing the stone on the ground.

Lance watched as the rock slowly melted under the purple Dragon Breath, until it turned into a puddle of purple liquid.

"Look, look, Lance, look quickly... Has it melted? Has it been melted by my Dragon Breath again?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you've made progress again, Dragon Whelp."

Lance raised both hands. Seeing this, the Young Dragon raised its two Dragon Claws and gave Lance's hands a high five, then grabbed Lance's hands and began spinning around, hopping and jumping joyfully.

The Dragon Whelp's Dragon Breath had greatly improved, and Evil Dragon Lance was also very happy, playing along with the Dragon Whelp on the grass outside of the Temple Square, occasionally praising his own dragon's progress exaggeratively.

If there's progress, it must be praised.

And praised enthusiastically.

The Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna, who had been staying inside the Dragon God Temple, stood at the doorway with arms folded, leaning against the doorframe watching the carefree Human Viscount engage in joyful antics with the young dragon, a smile emerged in her exotic blue-purple vertical pupils.

At this moment, the Human Viscount... seemed to have forgotten that he was an adult... frolicking with the young dragon.

He was not even afraid that his subjects would see this and make fun of him.

He usually appeared quite stable, but now he was happy and carefree as an unbridled pony.

He genuinely didn't care about the opinions of others, including her, the Thunder Giant Dragon.

Being single until now had its reasons.

Any slightly more normal human noble, upon knowing that there was a female Giant Dragon who transformed into a very attractive human inside the Dragon God Temple,

would have some reservations about their actions, wouldn't just freely express themselves, and at the very least wouldn't do things that seemed rather childish.

The Human Viscount didn't consider these things.

An attractive female Giant Dragon?

What did that have to do with him?

He would never repress his true nature just because of an attractive female Giant Dragon.

Every action of the Human Viscount... was telling her, the female Thunder Giant Dragon... that he truly had never cared about the way she saw him...

When the little dragon went to train, only she and the Human Viscount were left in the Dragon God Temple, and he never took the initiative to talk to her. He was either lying in a rocking chair reading a book or lying in a rocking chair sunbathing, asleep...

More like an old man than actual old men.

When the little dragon made progress, he was happy enough to turn into a childish kid.

Such a unique human being, she hadn't seen one like him in a long time.

There were also many unique divine personnel on the War God's Temple Holy Mountain, but compared to the Human Viscount at hand, they seemed to be missing something...

It's hard to say what.

"You two seem to be having a lot of fun, can I join you?"

Lance, who had been going wild with his own Dragon Whelp, stopped hopping and jumping, smiling as he stroked the Dragon Whelp's head, "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"I want Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork, Spicy Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Spicy Blood Curd..."

"Sure, sure, sure. Then you go to Saint Blue City to set up your stall this afternoon. Give me the money you make later, and I'll go buy the ingredients. We'll have a feast tonight."

"..."

The smile on the Young Dragon's face suddenly disappeared. It faced stalls for living expenses again, even though it had made money... Why did it feel like the Evil Dragon was still as poor as ever?

Where has all the money gone?

"Viscount's Guide to Courtship," this book made quite a lot of money. Though it became one of the Banned Books, almost every household in Saint Blue City had a copy.

The money made from the book... the Evil Dragon seemed to have donated it all... said it was for the children of Saint Blue to use for their education in the future...

I'm not sure exactly how it was done, but the Evil Dragon handed it over to Tixia.

Running a self-service stand is just fine, considering that whenever the citizens of Saint Blue City, especially the kids, see her, they call out to her, "Little Dragon Highness," taking her back to her dreams of the imperial capital.

It's been almost half a year, I wonder if Eva, and that hateful second princess, still remember their third sister, the princess who was taken away by the Evil Dragon.

Just you wait, one day, she will descend from the skies with the poise of a ruler, appear before them, and awaken the terror they once felt under the rule of the third princess.

"Erinna, sister, I can't join you for afternoon tea today, I need to go run the stall in the afternoon to earn money," she said.

"No worries, making money is important," said Erinna.

"..."

Making money is not important at all.

Thunder Giant Dragon Erinna had no intention of meddling with the Human Viscount's education of the little Dragon; she had come to realize over time that the Human Viscount was taking a slow-paced approach to teaching the Young Dragon.

While training the Young Dragon, he also allowed her to enjoy life.

He had high expectations for the Young Dragon yet never forced her to learn anything.

That's good; she herself might not have been able to achieve such a fine level of education for the Young Dragon.

At first glance, the Young Dragon's life may seem tough... but actually, anyone who interacts with her often would know that her life only seems tough; in fact, the little one is pressure-free... perfectly happy and joyful...

The Human Viscount manages to grasp just the right balance in the Young Dragon's learning.

Letting the Young Dragon run a stall in the afternoon seems like pushing her to make money, but in reality, it's a way for her to relax... to go out and play in Saint Blue City.

The citizens of Saint Blue City treat the Young Dragon quite well; when they see her... they would actively offer her snacks...

When the Young Dragon runs her stall in Saint Blue City, she can go crazy playing in the square, and it's all fine. The citizens of Saint Blue will put money in the box themselves, tie on aprons, and start grilling on their own.

In the words of the Human Viscount, the Young Dragon has turned running a stall... into a self-service operation...

"I'm off."

Lance, the Young Dragon, subconsciously glanced towards Erinna, who was leaning against the doorframe of the temple with half her body.

"Not waiting for the 'Evil Dragon' from the Dragon Whelp's mouth?"

"I might not be able to wait any longer. I'll try my luck on the way back, see if that wild Pureblood Black Dragon will attack me," she replied.

"Do you need me to escort you part of the way? With me around, if the 'Evil Dragon' that the Dragon Whelp talks about shows up, I could help you fend him off."

"No need, I'm not so weak that I need a human to protect me," she responded haughtily.

"I was just saying; don't take it seriously."

"...."

The Human Viscount shouldn't have spoken; every time he does... it feels like he deserves a beating.

"Human Viscount..."

"What is it?"

"I want to hit you with a Divine Artifact..."
