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

Lucia was showing off the ancient Dragon Script she had just learned in front of Evil Dragon Lance, happy and excited to be able to recite the first Dragon Script character correctly.

The phonetic learning method of the Evil Dragon's Dragon Script was efficient; until yesterday, she couldn't believe she could learn to recite ancient Dragon Script within two hours, even if it was just one character—it was a huge step forward for her.

The ancient Dragon Script characters were complex, seeming to contain some magical power, making them quite strenuous to write.

For instance, the Dragon Script character "龍" had many strokes, unlike the simpler Human World character "龙".

The Dragon Script "龍" with its numerous strokes looked like an ancient rune; however, once written on paper, the Dragon Script "龍" appeared much more beautiful than the Human World's "龙".

After learning the phonetics, she moved on to word formation.

Word formation was simple; for example, if the Evil Dragon asked her to form words using "龍", she would say "Black Dragon," "Evil Dragon," "Giant Dragon," "Young Dragon."

Write it down, write it down.

Lucia took out her diary and started writing on the floor.

Date: Em... Black Dragon Calendar year 3455, June 19th, night.

Under the guidance of Evil Dragon Lance, Young Dragon Lucia learned to recite and handwrite her first Dragon Script character: "龍".

It was a small step in Evil Dragon's teaching, but it was a giant leap for "Young Dragon Lucia" in learning Dragon Script.

Grateful to Evil Dragon Lance.

Having written it down, Lucia closed her diary, imagining her return to the Imperial Capital, where she would elegantly ridicule her smelly older sister in Dragon Script.

Hmph, smelly older sister, a princess kidnapped by an Evil Dragon, carries the risk of pregnancy... and the possibility of becoming a Dragon Script Historian.

Maybe by then, I could even recite curses in Dragon Script.

Imagining the wonderful future when she got back to the Imperial Capital, Young Dragon closed her eyes and walked towards where she slept.

It was so late, it was time to sleep.

Lucia realized she was rooted to the spot, and turning her head, saw that Evil Dragon was stepping on her dragon tail with its big foot.

This move of stepping on the tail, Turtle Turtle... did you learn that from Evil Dragon?

"Where are you off to?"

"Sleep...sleeping...."

"Before sleeping, follow me in performing the Health Cultivation Skill for longevity."

"......."

Do you really have to live so healthily?

Morning cultivation, evening cultivation, as an Evil Dragon, how long do you intend to live?

Unable to refuse, she followed the cultivation.

I, Princess of the Phalan Empire, started cultivating at the age of 15, following the Evil Dragon's regimen.

The nighttime Health Cultivation Skill was rather simple; stand still, close your eyes, and that's it.

The nighttime Health Cultivation Skill was somewhat intriguing; she felt a bit silly practicing it....

The nighttime Health Cultivation Skill was so difficult... help... I don't want to practice anymore, I want to sleep....

Wuwuwu.....

......

Lance found the Young Dragon he had picked up to be quite amusing; whatever she was thinking, he could easily guess by her expressions.

When she encountered easy-to-learn movements, her expression was like this: (≖ᴗ≖)✧

When faced with more complex movements, her expression was like this: ￣へ￣

Now she had gone off to sleep.

Just now, she closed her eyes, eager to say something, but then she looked his way, hesitating.

He reckoned she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

Could it be she wanted to use the bathroom?

There was no toilet in the Dragon's Den; the bathroom was near the seaside.

Still sneaking glances at him, this time with one eye open and the other closed.

It was the second day of their interaction, and the Young Dragon was still a bit afraid of him.

The psychological pressure that a full-grown Giant Dragon exerted on a Young Dragon was more significant than he had imagined.

"Got something to say?"

"Ah, no...."

Lucia closed her eyes, and after a short while, she stealthily opened them again.

"I... I have a question for you..."

"Ask away. From now on, just ask whatever you want directly. There's no need to be so tentative—I'm not as scary as you think.

Red Dragons have much worse tempers than Black Dragons, and their emotions are far more volatile. I'm different. I rarely lose control of my emotions, and my temper is better than that of Red Dragons.

So, when you face me, don't worry about me losing control and beating you up."

"......."

Evil Dragon, does your conscience not ache when you say that?

Did you forget about this afternoon, how you threatened me with your Dragon Fist and that 'bump Turtle Turtle' thing?

Taking advantage of the fact that I am too timid to call you out on it....

"What I want to ask is, if your archenemies aren't in hell, would you still seek them out?"

"I wouldn't go out of my way to look for them, but if one day I remember them, or if I need them for something... I might try to find them..."

"Ohhhh."

"Why do you ask?"

"I was thinking, since your enemies are all very powerful figures, if I could learn something from them... might I become stronger? Like that person named Brude Donahue...."

"???"

A picked-up Young Dragon... does it look somewhat down on me, an adult Black Dragon?

Thinking so little of me, what should I do?

Guess a little lesson wouldn't hurt.

Evil Dragon Lance swung his tail, giving Lucia a "Three-Point Bow."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..." Lucia, cradling her head that had been struck by the tail of the Evil Dragon, complained woefully, "You're a liar... a dragon liar, you just said you were more stable than Red Dragons, but no sooner did I finish speaking than you hit me with your tail...."

"You, a Young Dragon... planning to learn from the rivals of your own father, and you think you shouldn't be beaten up... then who should be?"

"....."

It seems... somehow reasonable....

Speaking in front of an Evil Dragon about learning from humans... seems to be a bit disrespectful to the Evil Dragon....

She didn't have that intention, nor could she ever look down on the Evil Dragon.

Alright, if being misunderstood by the Evil Dragon means getting hit, then is that supposed to happen...???

Wait, that's not right. Why shouldn't she be able to learn from powerful humans?

Didn't the Evil Dragon also become human... and learn from humans?

The suddenly emboldened Young Dragon retorted, "You, you, you... didn't you learn from humans as well..."

"......"

Shoot, how could the seemingly dim-witted Young Dragon have thought of this?

"It's different. Back then I wasn't as lucky as you. If in my youth, I could have met an adult Giant Dragon as kind and powerful as me, I definitely wouldn't have thought of going to the Human World to learn.

I would learn first from the adult Giant Dragon, and only after mastering all his skills would I then consider going to the Human World to understand their Power System and make comparisons.

Only if I found something worthwhile in the Power System of the Human World would I consider learning a little about it."

Lance convinced himself with this rationale, and in fact, it was true. Had he met a friendly adult Giant Dragon willing to teach him various skills back then, he certainly wouldn't have ventured into the Human World before mastering all the skills of the Giant Dragon.

Lucky for Lucia, she was truly fortunate to meet him during such a time. Had their encounter been a few hundred years earlier or later, he might not have been willing to let the Young Dragon stay on the island.

A time, a thought.

Just like the men in the Human World, reaching a certain age, they always develop some odd quirks...

Like fishing... tea-drinking... foot massages... practicing some Health Cultivation Skills....

Speaking of which... at 3455 years old, how did he suddenly awaken a "raising offspring" quirk?
