158:
“Don’t call me ‘my lady’ anymore. Just call me Catherine.”
Because we’re companions from now on.
In Barret’s collection, there would be some records of adventures. Catherine was still looking forward to an adventure. Although in the end of those stories, the final enemy would always be a dragon… but what was the problem with that?
A bad dragon is a bad dragon. No one has ever heard of a crystal dragon being a bad person.
The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile. Shelley chuckled and introduced everyone to her, “Alright, Catherine. This is Lilith, a high-level assassin.”
Stepping out from behind Shelley, Lilith nodded at her future companion and then retreated back behind him. From that day on, she had always considered the darkness behind Shelley as her home.
I will protect my master’s back.
“These two ladies are Erica, a priestess of the Goddess of Good Fortune, and Morgan, a priestess of the Goddess of Misfortune.”
At the mention of these two gods’ names, Catherine’s expression twitched for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded at them gently, without any arrogance, and also without any servility.
Although the Twin Fates were very terrifying, for a dragon, the threat was not very high. In a dragon’s view, if they didn’t meet face to face, a god was just… so-so. Because they were too good at being shut-ins. Many major events, in their eyes, were over in the blink of an eye.
Even in the last Time of Troubles, that bloody slaughter that had affected the entire multiverse… many dragons had just slept through it. They hadn’t gotten involved at all.
A shut-in also has a shut-in’s happiness.
Morgan didn’t speak, just raised her chin to express her return greeting. In contrast to her, Erica returned Catherine’s greeting with enthusiasm. A harmonious scene.
…
Venomous Snake and her people stood guard at the entrance of the cave, looking inside with some worry.
“Has the battle stopped?”
Nervously wiping the sweat from her palms, she was very anxious.
“What’s the result? You all must not get into trouble.”
“Why aren’t they out yet?”
“Could it be a mutual destruction?”
Gritting her teeth, Venomous Snake shouted to the pirates around her, “Men! We’re going down to rescue them.”
…
The scene Venomous Snake was worried about did not happen. Shelley and the others were currently on a tour… Catherine was showing them her sleeping room.
She hadn’t chosen the pirate king’s bedroom. Although a crystal dragon was a small dragon, it was still too small for her. She had directly chosen to sleep in the treasure vault, right on the pile of gold coins.
“That’s really… quite a pursuit.”
I love it, I love it.
And, unlike what Shelley had imagined, there was no strange smell.
“Maybe it’s because gem dragons eat gems…”
Compared to the chromatic dragons, who liked to hunt living creatures, crystal dragons could eat ordinary food, but they preferred gems like crystals. So there were no food scraps, and thus no stench. And a crystal dragon, whose whole body was like a crystal carving, would not produce that fishy smell…
“Really… ahem…”
How rude, how rude…
[“It’s really suitable for raising.”]
[That’s what you were thinking just now.]
“Nosy.”
Shelley said to Catherine, who was leading them on a tour of her home, “Lady Catherine, your treasure, if you trust me…”
“I will have someone help you transport it to your new home. There will be absolutely no loss.”
Looking at her treasure with reluctance, Catherine picked up a huge crystal, took a sad bite, and said, muffled, “Mmm… I trust you…”
On the way to the next place, Shelley looked at the narrow corridor in front of them, turned to Catherine, and said, “It will be very difficult for you to walk in front. Why don’t we just not go?”
Hurry up and change. Although you look good like this, I really don’t want to be conquering a dragon all the time. Change for me.
At this time, Erica gave Shelley a meaningful look, a faint smile in her eyes. Shelley, who had noticed this, didn’t say anything and still looked at Catherine with concern.
“She… is a bit interesting…”
After measuring it, Catherine found that she could get in, but her posture would be very ungraceful. After thinking for a moment, Catherine was about to back out… when Erica suddenly asked, “Miss Catherine, can you change your state?”
“…Hmm?”
“I heard that in a dragon’s bloodline heritage, there is an innate skill to transform into a human.”
The ones who liked human and humanoid society the most were the silver dragons. They loved to be friends with humans and study their society and history. But because of the age difference, it was very likely that they would establish a deep friendship with several generations of a family.
“Hmm? Is that so?”
Because she had been a shut-in at home and hadn’t traveled in human society, Catherine wasn’t very clear.
“Oh! I found it.”
As expected, she found the skill in her heritage. Catherine flicked her tail smugly.
“Transform.”
Her body, which was already like crystal, lit up with a white light, echoing the various gems and treasures in the room.
“Ahem… hmm…”
“The human body is quite interesting.”
A voice filled with emotion sounded before them. A woman who looked as if she had walked out of ice and snow appeared before them.
“So white.”
“So big.”
The first impression was white. Her skin was not just pale, but had a crystalline beauty. Her hair was not the silver-gray of Shelley’s, but a very pure white. Her height was about the same as Lilith’s, only 160 cm, but… their figures were two extremes. Although her waist was slender, she was curvaceous in all the right places, outlining an alluring curve, looking exceptionally plump.
By visual estimation, she could even be compared to Elena. Compared to Lilith, it was like…
“A majestic mountain peak and an ordinary small hill.”
As if sensing Shelley’s thoughts, Lilith, behind him, forcefully pinched his back waist.
“Hiss…”
Catherine moved her current body, spun around, and chuckled softly.
“Heeheehee.”
Her voice at this moment was different from the booming sound of a dragon. It was clear and pleasant. She proudly raised her arm, causing the waves on her chest to surge.
Looking at this beautiful and alluring scene, Shelley bit his lip and sighed in his heart, “This beautiful wave, although it’s sexy enough…”
“But… why…”
“Why are there clothes?”
“I miscalculated!”
Damn it! I was so looking forward to it.
[Um… she’s just naive.]
[Not an idiot…]
[She’s not completely clueless…]
Wuuuuu.
That’s right. Catherine was not naked… She was wearing a white slip dress, revealing her alluring collarbones and shoulders. And from under the dress, a thick, white tail emerged.
Calming down, Shelley admired this beautiful scene and sighed in his heart, “She’s really cute.”
It’s fine. I love monster girls too. Long live dragon girls. I’m determined to be a dragon rider.
