59. It’s All Reina’s Fault
Ten years.
Perhaps for humans, it was a terrifying number.
But in front of the dragon race, it was nothing.
The dragon race had no clear age of adulthood. To grow from a young dragon to an adult dragon, one had to go through a simple “test”—the [Scale Ascension Ceremony].
Simply put, it was something like a coming-of-age ceremony.
Because when a dragon had the ability to stand on its own, its scales would gradually grow to a near-closed state, and the scales all over its body would gradually become complete. If it didn’t continue to cultivate, its combat power and brainpower would also grow to a stable value.
And this process generally took ten years.
And the dragon race, completely without dragon milk, also needed a long ten years.
Thus, there was the saying of weaning in ten years.
Fortunately, the dragon’s body was strong enough, and Reina was also strong enough.
“Mua~”
Celes was still drinking milk from her heart.
Because the current Celes was no longer the little girl she used to be, so Celes would always feel a little guilty. Facing Reina, who was not much taller than her, she always felt that her current behavior was a little “childish.”
But Reina didn’t have much psychological pressure.
After all, little Celes was not yet two years old.
She held Reina’s two arms, her movements very light, lying on Reina’s body like a large “warm baby,” the only difference being that she would let out cute “awoo” sounds.
And Angelis and Guangying were different.
They often liked to bite and grind their teeth when they were young. Although it wouldn’t affect Reina, besides the special teething toys, she would occasionally see teeth marks on the furniture—this was the result of them trying their best to restrain themselves.
As for Celes, when she got into the state of drinking milk, she would occasionally, like just now, let out a cute spoiled sound that would only come out after she had disappeared.
“Muamuamua…”
In short, very cute.
“Eat slowly, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. It’s only been ten minutes.”
Reina always felt that Celes had grown so fast entirely because she had spoiled her.
However, her psychological age was also beyond imagination. Angelis and Guangying, especially the latter, had already lived for almost a five-digit age… However, it must also be considered that they hadn’t started to recover their memories yet.
In short, Celes matured very quickly.
This might be related to her authority.
Unfortunately, Reina couldn’t see what authority she had at all. It was not the same as the intuitive [space] and [time].
“Celes, next week I’ll take you to get familiar with [Light] again, to see how you’ve mastered it.”
“Mua… you’re the best to me.”
“Little Celes doesn’t have to be in such a hurry. Light is an alternative magic that I created myself. It takes a certain amount of time to comprehend and learn. You’ve learned so fast, what am I supposed to do?”
“Mmph… but I knew a lot from the beginning. I haven’t made much progress now.”
“It will get better.”
After Celes finished her milk, Calysia also came back.
She held the hands of the two children, one on the left and one on the right, and a hint of coldness was on the dragon whelps’ faces.
They all had long silver-white hair, looking like one big and two small fairies.
“Hahahahaha~”
Reina looked at the ice on Calysia’s hair and laughed.
Was she hit by their dragon breath?
Both dragons were ice dragons, so their breath was naturally ice.
“The mother of the children, it’s time to continue breastfeeding later,” Calysia’s words brought Reina back to reality.
However, the lingering embarrassment on her face still exposed something.
“Hehe, Little Cal is shy.”
“It’s all Reina’s fault.”
“Eh?”
Reina was terrified. After all, Little Cal rarely said such things.
“It’s all Reina’s fault.”
Although Calysia seemed to be blaming her, she was smiling very gently, and Reina’s heart almost melted. She suddenly felt that the children she had raised these past few years were absolutely worth it.
Celes was originally lying on Reina’s body, but after her little sisters came back, she changed her dependent attitude towards Reina and sent them to Mother Reina’s body.
“Little An, Little Guang, remember not to poke Mommy with your horns.”
Celes extended a finger, acting like a gentle big sister with a hint of sternness.
“Okay!”
“Good~”
The little dragons sat on the bed with their legs crossed, looked up, and let out excited sounds.
“Haa~, you guys are just too dependent on Mommy.”
“Didn’t Celes also like to poke her mother with her horns when she was a child?” Calysia found it funny.
“Mother… that kind of thing, mmph… wasn’t it changed after two months?” Seeing that she had been exposed, Celes blushed and puffed out her cheeks.
The two little dragons originally liked to rub their clothes or grab her skin with their claws. This series of seemingly “rough” behaviors, however, didn’t hurt at all.
Now, under Celes’s “teaching,” they had also become two warm babies.
Although their dragon breath was ice, their mouths were warm.
It was said that their mouths achieved the cold ice dragon breath by lowering the temperature around their mouths and transferring the heat into their bodies.
Therefore, they would even be warmer than ordinary dragons.
However~
Calysia was still warmer, no… there was no comparison at all!
Compared to Celes, the sounds the two little dragons made were even softer.
Quieter than the burning firewood in a winter stove, and rhythmic. This kind of sound could quickly make people sleepy.
Reina wasn’t going to sleep.
After Calysia took Celes out to play for a while, it was about time to go to bed.
But before that, there were two more activities.
“Let’s go take a bath.”
Reina picked up the two dragon whelps, who could already transform into half-dragons. This was much easier than holding two 200-centimeter-long dragons.
In the pool, Celes usually liked to stick to Reina and rest her head on her lap.
Because Reina was still pregnant, the task of bathing the little dragon whelps was handed over to Little Cal.
And Calysia also liked to stay with Reina, so the somewhat romantic bathroom dragon picture that Reina had imagined didn’t happen. Although there was a huge bathhouse of several million square meters, all the dragons were crowded together, huddled in a corner, bathing together.
After her bath, the five dragons lay together on the same big bed that had never changed.
A single ordinary quilt could no longer satisfy a nest of dragons.
Now, Reina had prepared four quilts.
One was for her own egg incubation, two were for Calysia and herself, and there was a larger super quilt, enough for everyone to squeeze together. And today, they were using that largest quilt.
In the quilt, the three dragons all poked their heads out, and the feeling of being surrounded by Calysia and Reina was very good.
After Reina lit a candle, Angelis would gently say:
“Story time, hee hee~ Mama’s story.”
Reina cleared her throat.
“Once upon a time, there was a little red dragon…”
Under the joint performance of her and Calysia, the little dragons would either shrink into the quilt or laugh happily. And at this time, Celes would pretend to be very calm because she was the older sister. In fact, she hadn’t matured to the point of losing interest in Reina’s “bedtime stories.”
“And then, the dragon princess and the dragon Saintess, happily…”
“Purr, purr…”
As the three little dragons let out rhythmic breaths, Reina stopped.
She gave Calysia a look, and before she could react, that mother, who was also a little tired, was already lying beside her.
Reina gently extinguished the candle by the bed.
“Little Cal.”
Her voice trembled. Before she could say the next words, Calysia cupped her face, and then, she was forcefully kissed.
Glistening saliva connected the two’s love story, and her melancholy eyes waited for a wanton pampering.
“You’re still so insatiable. How about we talk after you give birth?”
Reina casually found a reason: “Just to help me de-stress, okay, Master?”
“Little greedy dragon.”
