“Don’t abandon me…”
Her consciousness snapped back to reality, and Xuefei buried her head in Leia’s chest.
The milky fragrance was intoxicating, the softness utterly irresistible.
Even through the thin layer of her skirt, Xuefei could feel Leia’s scorching heat and the rapid thump of her heartbeat.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you angry. I won’t disobey you ever again, wuwu…”
“Is that right? Has Xuefei realized her mistake?” Leia stroked Xuefei’s head as she always did, and Xuefei looked utterly content. “Yes! I—I’ll never abandon Leia again. From now on, I’ll be perfectly obedient. I promise!”
No matter how she looked at it, she was the one who had abandoned the heroine—abandoned Leia—in the midst of the Demon Clan army.
And perhaps Leia had grown tired of that version of her, which was why she wanted to pull away.
Xuefei’s voice was loud, but muffled as it was in Leia’s soft bosom, it didn’t carry far. The moment the words escaped her lips, her face flushed crimson with shame. She couldn’t help squirming in Leia’s embrace.
She only relaxed a little once she noticed that the maids had all slipped away.
By saying that, hadn’t she just admitted that she belonged to Leia?
How mortifying…
She wanted to burrow right into the ground.
But if she didn’t say it, Leia might really leave her…
Of course, this would only fan the flames of her own escape plan, adding icing to the cake. Yet when Xuefei imagined those hungry little dragons asking who their “father” was—and her utter inability to explain…
No, it wasn’t about her own loyalty to Leia at all!
It was that her Dragon Baby needed another mother. Without Leia, the Dragon Baby’s childhood was doomed to be filled with regrets!
Xuefei absolutely refused to let anything happen to her adorable Dragon Baby. Therefore, Leia had to stay by her side. Yes, that made perfect sense!
“Wuwuwu…”
“Honestly, you never used to cry like this before,” Leia said with a sigh, glancing down at the wet patch on her chest.
Back then, crushed by all sorts of pressures, Xuefei had never shed a tear. Leia could only recall that one time, after a companion’s sacrifice, when she had wept uncontrollably. After that, Xuefei had never cried again.
The fact that Xuefei was crying for her now filled Leia with genuine joy.
This time, rather than teasing the pitiful little dragon as she usually would, Leia sat down on the black sofa in the corridor. She pulled Xuefei onto her lap and gently ran her fingers through her hair, down to the scales on her wings, and along her perky little tail.
“To be honest, the one who should be apologizing this time is me. I shouldn’t have tested Xuefei’s loyalty so casually.”
Evil Corruption was the ultimate expression of her love for Leia, so she had no right to doubt little Xuefei, who was tainted by it.
An Evil Dragon was the embodiment of negative emotions—passionate, desirous—and after Leia herself had become one, all those feelings had transformed into pure love for Xuefei.
Gazing down at the petite girl in her arms, now the same size as herself, Leia smiled with contentment and bliss. In this moment, she was the happiest girl in the world.
~~~
Xuefei and Leia clung to each other for a long time, neither willing to let go.
In fact, every maid living on the third floor gave up their afternoon nap entirely. Laer took the lead in forming an impromptu outing party, and they all headed out to the garden to play.
The maids had a blast—so much so that several who had planned to nap joined in the fun.
They even nearly missed the end of their break.
Dragon King Leia, however, understood how hard the Maid Corps worked and promised them an extra day off.
Xuefei clearly remembered how every single maid’s face lit up with smiles that day.
She had thought it was just because vacations were so precious to working girls like them. Little did she know the maids were actually shipping her and Leia’s romance…
The touching love story between Miss Dragon King and Miss Xuefei~
It hit these gossip-loving girls right in the heart!
“Have you heard? Lady Leia only ever smiles from the heart when she’s with Xuefei. But now, she’s smiling all the time!”
“Yeah, yeah! Lady Leia seems so much happier lately. Could it be… she’s expecting?”
“Are you an idiot? Xuefei’s already pregnant!”
“So that means the Dragon Nest we built for Lady Leia… Lady Xuefei’s going to be incubating dragon eggs in it?”
That’s right.
The maids’ holiday wasn’t just some spur-of-the-moment decision because Leia was in a good mood.
That morning, after days of intensive labor, their major project had finally been completed.
Atop the Evil Dragon Palace, in a space slightly smaller than the Treasure Vault piled high with gold coins—but far warmer than those cold riches—a cozy little nook had been christened the “Dragon Nest.”
The reason it evoked the image of a gold vault was that Leia had inherited the Evil Dragon’s love of treasure.
…
Obviously, Leia’s favorite treasure was not piles of material gold and silver.
And what was the Evil Dragon’s most precious treasure? That went without saying.
A faint peach fragrance wafted through the dim, dry chamber. A massive cushion, vast enough to cradle an entire dragon’s body, was embedded flush into the opulent floor. Its plush fabric evoked a private, circular swimming pool—but far softer and warmer than any chill water.
Right then, a snowy-white form tumbled gleefully across the cushion. Dragon wings hugged tight to her body as she rolled, clutching her tail with a face full of bliss.
So soft, so soft—exactly like Leia!
“How does it feel, Xuefei? Nice and comfy?” Leia asked with a smile.
Incredibly comfy!
The cushion wasn’t some flat sheet of cloth. It rose and fell like a series of gentle hillocks.
And right at the center sat a inviting depression—a cozy little nest. Xuefei grasped its purpose in an instant.
For hatching eggs.
She couldn’t explain why, but she adored this big nest. Laying a dragon egg here would feel utterly secure, wouldn’t it?
Xuefei’s dainty white-silk feet padded carefully across the cushion as she approached the dip. She eased herself into it and discovered, to her delight, that it fit her perfectly.
What appeared narrow from outside allowed her wings and tail to stretch freely. Its shape shifted to offer perfect support, letting her assume any pose she desired…
Poses of every conceivable sort.
It was also ideal for stashing valuables. She could tuck snacks into its cushy bumps for instant munching, and the special fabric whisked away crumbs on its own. This multi-purpose wonder was hands-down the greatest invention ever!
“Do you like it here, Xuefei? It’s all yours from now on~”
“Is this… my room?” Xuefei asked, scarcely believing it.
“Of course,” Leia replied, one hand pressed to her cheek in evident delight. “No one gets in without my say-so. Far better than that cramped little shack, wouldn’t you agree? Especially since you and the dragon egg mean so much to me~”
To think Leia would try to buy her off with something like this—talk about over the top. But what was she really after, going to all this trouble?
Xuefei had no idea, but Leia’s fond expression had already betrayed the truth.
“Once she lays that dragon egg, Xuefei can stay right here every day, making babies for me~”
