Xuefei had just stepped down from the rooftop when she arrived at the Dragon Nest.
The Little Dragon Nest was filled with its usual fragrance. The small storage pouch could hold all sorts of toys, and at night, just thinking about the treasures hidden under her pillow always helped her sleep even more soundly.
But Xuefei wasn’t looking for those treasures.
She sprawled out on the mat, her dragon tail and limbs propping her up as she reached into one of the pockets. She fished out a lustrous green gem that gleamed in the dim space like a tiny sun condensed into a multifaceted crystal.
“I’m really sorry, little treasure,” she murmured. “I was going to add you to my Xuefei’s Treasure Vault, but now we have to part ways so soon.”
Xuefei gently stroked the Endless Treasure, its smooth surface her only response.
There was no helping it…
She suddenly squeezed her eyes shut, clutched the Endless Treasure tightly in her fist, and bolted toward Leia’s bedroom without a moment’s hesitation.
She pushed open the door. The room was as quiet as the corridor outside, filled only with faint breathing. Xuefei carefully shut the door behind her and tiptoed closer to Leia.
Looks like she’s still asleep.
But what was with the blanket kicked halfway off the bed?
She was even mumbling something under her breath:
“Xuefei… I like…”
Those heart-tugging words made Xuefei act without a second thought. She slipped off her dress and climbed into bed.
She kept the Endless Treasure gripped tightly in her hand, terrified that its green glow might wake the Evil Dragon before her. Leia had a fearsome case of morning grumpiness—one wrong move, and Xuefei might end up as breakfast.
Leia’s warm breath washed over Xuefei’s cheek once more.
What a beautiful sleeping face. Huh? Was she smiling? That was strange; Xuefei had thought Leia was having a nightmare.
Throwing herself straight into Leia’s arms would only get her trapped in that signature Leia bear hug, firm as a rat trap. So instead, she decided on another approach to slip the Endless Treasure into Leia’s body where it could do its work.
Xuefei reached out, about to gently part Leia’s soft lips, when she realized something was off.
Normally, it would be as simple as feeding it to her. For the Dragon Clan, that was a straightforward and highly effective method.
But did Xuefei really have the strength to pry open Leia’s jaws?
And if she knew what Xuefei was trying to feed her, would she even allow it? Even if Xuefei explained everything…
Hold on—tomorrow was their wedding, wasn’t it?
…
At that thought, Xuefei opened her own mouth and tucked the Endless Treasure under her tongue, ensuring no one could steal it away. Not even the mouth of the Evil Dragon herself could be easily forced open, which made it the safest spot imaginable.
Xuefei threw herself into Leia’s warm embrace. Sure enough, Leia’s arms opened instinctively, wrapping around Little Xuefei and holding her tight. Xuefei closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep amid the soothing warmth of Leia’s breath, waiting quietly for the dawn of the next day.
Just before slipping into dreams, Xuefei murmured softly:
“Leia…”
“It’s time for the nightmare to end.”
~~~
The Evil Dragon Domain lay on the eastern side of the Camiran Continent. There, countless beings of Dark Filth—known collectively as the Demon Race—had formed their own nations. Their kings, without exception, answered to Leia.
Among the Dark Filth, power dynamics were brutally simple: the strong ruled as kings, and the weak served as vassals. Schemes and intrigue meant nothing in the face of overwhelming strength. Protected by the Evil Dragon, no one could invade Demon Race territory—but that very protection was why the world branded them as “evil.”
Still, it didn’t stop them from gathering for the Evil Dragon’s wedding during this second playthrough. Unlike the other nations bound by treaties and deals, the Dark Filth weren’t exactly bosom buddies, but they knew their priorities and where their interests lay. They always acted with the Demon Race of the Camiran Continent as a whole in mind. As a result, beneath the Evil Dragon, the Demon Race formed a solid, indivisible system.
That was the main reason Leia wasn’t usually bogged down with work. She wielded ultimate authority, but the Demon Race pretty much ran itself.
Hmm…
If the Demon Race had any defining traits, the first was their ability to harness the power of Dark Filth. The second was that most of them sported horns and wings.
This included—but wasn’t limited to—branches like dragons, the Blood Clan, succubi from the demon lines, fallen angels, and so on. But the majority were straightforward demons, such as Laer and most of the maids…
It was a bit abstract when put that way. But if you factored in “Dark Filth,” it became much easier to grasp.
In the afternoon, before the wedding had officially begun, Xuefei was dressed in a white dress, sitting with her legs crossed on one of the small chairs in the hall. She quietly observed the “guests” who had come from afar. In reality, they were also the rulers of the Demon Race’s nation, chatting and laughing amiably with several impeccably dressed maids who specialized in diplomacy. This scene inexplicably filled one with a sense of emotion.
The little gentleman girl wearing a top hat, the Dark Filth woman with black wings and black pupils, and a few scantily clad little succubi all confirmed Xuefei’s guesses.
However, that group was one of the biggest enemies she had faced in her first playthrough—in other words, they were the most troublesome BOSSes under the Evil Dragon Guards. Their true forms somehow looked a bit cute. Ah, especially that fallen angel with deep purple hair; no matter how she looked at her, she seemed like a shy little girl, right?
Ah, she’s coming over. Sure enough, she still had to exchange greetings, didn’t she?
“I’m Andrea. Good afternoon, Lady Xuefei~”
“Hello.”
“Ehehe, I didn’t forget your name this time~”
Xuefei looked relaxed as she waved her hand leisurely and nodded, but in reality, she was quite nervous inside.
This girl named Andrea had once been one of the most troublesome opponents in her first playthrough, leaving a deep impression in Xuefei’s mind. She was far inferior to the Evil Dragon and the strongest guards, but she was more than capable of easily handling a novice hero who was just starting out.
The ferocity she displayed in battle formed a stark contrast with her current airheaded cuteness.
Though called a “fallen angel,” she was actually the king of the Wing Clan corrupted by Dark Filth. Ignoring the fact that there were only two of them in reality… plus the one in her belly, making just three, they were the true overlords of the skies on the Camiran Continent.
Andrea was dressed in a black formal gown, her chest slightly flat, but it didn’t detract from the unique beauty of her petite girl figure—a subtle sexiness hidden within her youthful innocence.
It was said that beings corrupted by Dark Filth would have their hair color change. Andrea’s purple long hair stood out slightly among the crowd.
It was just like how Leia’s hair had been golden in the past and was now silver-white, for the same reason…
“Um, Lady Xuefei, is it true that you’ve conceived a dragon egg?”
The dragon egg topic again?
Normally, such words would stir up a huge psychological ripple in her, but now Xuefei felt completely accustomed to it, with not the slightest disturbance in her heart, okay?
Xuefei didn’t hide it; it was a foregone conclusion anyway. Rather than complaining, it was better to think about how to seize the moment and plant the second dragon egg into Leia’s belly.
“Mm-hm, it’s a dragon egg. The dragon baby will come out soon. I’m really so happy~,” Xuefei said as she touched her little belly and revealed a satisfied, healing smile.
Ah, she said too much without thinking!
Damn it…
She had only meant to nod simply in confirmation. Could it be that her weak, submissive personality was really going to become known to all the Demon Race?
Xuefei’s cheeks flushed bright red.
Damn it, don’t look over here! What’s with that “so it’s true” expression? Hurry up and forget it!
