Chapter 50: That Sea, That Dragon, That Sky
If she really turned into a stupid young dragon, would the Evil Dragon still keep her as a "Dragon Wife"?
Given the Evil Dragon's fondness for novelty and disdain for the old, if she became a stupid young dragon, his first thought would probably be to use her as bait. After all, once she's a stupid young dragon, using her as bait... she might even think the Evil Dragon is playing a game with her....
She would happily serve as bait for the Evil Dragon, hook a big fish, the Evil Dragon would eat the meat, and she would drink the soup....
The more Lucia thought about the bad situations that could happen after she turned stupid, the more she resisted accepting the Evil Dragon's memory inheritance.
Wuwuwu.....
It was her own fault, she should not have blabbed last night, saying she was envious of the giant dragons with memory inheritance....
She casually mentioned her envy, and the Evil Dragon immediately said, "Don't be envious, what other giant dragon children have, my young dragon must also have."
The Evil Dragon lived up to his word and extracted the Dragon Script and Language inheritance memory from his mind this morning, ready to cram it into hers....
If she were a real young dragon, she might not be too scared, but she's human, and still an underage girl....
The inheritance memory of the Dragon kind being crammed into her mind... is probably more than all of her fifteen years of fragmented memories...
As if she could withstand that.
"Not at all, in order to avoid such a situation, I only extracted the part of the inheritance memory about the Dragon Script. This amount of inheritance memory entering your mind... might have a very slight impact on your existing memories....
But it won't turn you into a stupid young dragon,"
"Are you... are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Then then... then go ahead and cram the memory inheritance... into my mind...."
Evil Dragon Lance wanted to laugh. Was the young dragon he picked up cautious or just afraid of dying? It was hard to say.
No good comment, she was so brave when running to the Human World to snatch the princess....
No, wait, with her fear of dying, she probably ran to the Human World in hopes of finding a princess to take care of her....
She definitely didn't truly intend to snatch the princess.
"Dragon Whelp, I have a question for you."
"Ask... go ahead...."
The Evil Dragon was too casual with her nicknames, one moment young dragon, the next Dragon Whelp, occasionally calling her Lucia....
He must really consider her family.
In the Human World, being so casual with someone happens only when you consider them family, friends...
"When you appeared in the Human World that day, was it really to snatch the princess?"
"Ah? Oh. Yes."
"I don't think you came to the Human World to snatch the princess."
"???!!!!"
The young dragon panicked; the Evil Dragon's remark... did he discover something?
Don't panic, stay calm... She must insist that she appeared in the Human World to snatch the princess, otherwise... if the Evil Dragon discovers the truth...
In a fit of anger.... he might impregnate her.....
For a young dragon, the Evil Dragon would wait until it's matured.
For a princess... the Evil Dragon definitely wouldn't wait.....
"It really was to snatch the princess! Really, it was for the princess!!!"
"You didn't."
"I did!"
"You didn't."
"I did!"
"You did it to freeload and wait to die."
"I did!"
Ah.... huh?
Why would... for freeload.... and wait to die?
Why would a young dragon run to the Human World to freeload and wait to die?
She couldn't figure it out, couldn't make sense of it.
"Why would I go to the Human World to freeload and wait to die?"
"Because you wanted a human princess to take care of you. So, you running to the Human World to snatch the princess was a ruse; finding a princess who suited your preferences to take care of you is the real deal.
You had it all planned out pretty well. If it weren't for the unexpected me, you might've already been living a freeloading, retired life....."
"???"
That's too humiliating for Princess!
She wasn't the kind of princess who idly waited for death to come!
She was a princess with ideals and ambitions.
Even transformed into a young dragon, she remained one with ideals and ambitions.
What other young dragon dared to declare ambitions of becoming an emperor in the Human World?
None dared, only she had the courage!
There are two kinds of young dragons.
One is Princess Lucia who turned into a young dragon, and the other is all the rest.
"I am not one of those... young dragons that survive by being cute! I'm really here to snatch the princess!"
"Right, right, you're here to snatch the princess."
With the young dragon's guard down, Evil Dragon Lance seized the moment and shot the Dragon Script Memory Inheritance into the young dragon's forehead.
Before, the young dragon was tense and somewhat resistant to the inherited memories. Forcefully embedding them into the young dragon's mind with resistance would mean the memories couldn't smoothly merge into her Dragon Soul.
The dialogue was to distract the young dragon's attention, get her to relax her guard, and subconsciously forget about the Memory Inheritance.
"Ah!!! You crammed the Dragon Tribe's Memory Inheritance into my mind... am I... am I going to become an idiotic young dragon... wuwuwu... Evil Dragon, promise me, if I become an idiotic young dragon, you won't take advantage of me.
Don't use me as fish bait over and over, and if you catch a big fish using me, let me have a few bites of the meat when you eat, and not just drink the soup....
And also... if you can, give me a nice dream of becoming an emperor.
And also... after you fatten me up... don't eat me in one bite. If you think I eat too much, just shrink me a little, and then when you go to play in the Human World, hang me like an ornament on your dragon body....
Don't ever leave me on the island, otherwise, I'm afraid that after you leave, a Deep Sea Siren will come along and swallow me whole....
I... I... I..."
The young dragon prattled on and on, annoying Evil Dragon Lance who clenched his Dragon Claw into a fist and punched the young dragon.
What father would harm his own child?
Even if the child was found, feelings would still grow with time.
"Hiss... That hurts... Hitting the head... Can make someone stupid, might even speed up the process of me becoming an idiotic young dragon....."
"Don't worry, you won't become an idiotic young dragon, and even if you did, I could cure you."
"Really?"
"Hmm."
"Then last night you said... we would have grilled squid today... are we still having it?"
If the Evil Dragon said she wouldn't become an idiot, then the chances of her becoming an idiotic young dragon... are very, very slim....
She had gained the Dragon Script inherited memory. She probably wouldn't need to follow Evil Dragon around to learn Dragon Script in the morning and could slowly absorb his Dragon Script Memory Inheritance instead.
"Lance, the Memory Inheritance entered my mind, but why don't I feel anything?"
"The Dragon Script Memory Inheritance will seep into your mind little by little as you sleep...."
"Oh, learning in dreams... sounds good, sounds good. No wonder giant dragons love to sleep, it turns out they are absorbing and digesting Memory Inheritance..."
Shouldn't the focus be on the memories entering your mind bit by bit for digestion?
The young dragon captures the essentials... always capturing some weird things....
"Are we still having grilled squid?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's go, I'll take you squid fishing."
"Where?"
"Sea."
"Bring Er Gouzi with us."
"It can't fly."
Oh no, could it be that Evil Dragon wants to use her as bait for squid fishing?
......
On the boundless sea appeared two dragons, one large and one small.
The massive Black Dragon flew close to the sea's surface, with the slim young dragon following behind, mimicking the flight posture of the Black Dragon, because the young dragon thought the Evil Dragon's flying stance was very cool, natural, and enjoyable...
On the glistening sea, the Black Dragon unabashedly flaunted his flying skills that seemed to merge with nature.
Watching the Evil Dragon ahead, the young dragon was spellbound, suddenly feeling... as if the Evil Dragon had become one with the world around him.
The ocean, the Black Dragon, the sky... all merged into one, indistinguishable from each other....
She even thought of a name for this picturesque scene: That Sea, That Dragon, That Sky.
