Am I a Dragon Knight?
Long ago, Xuefei had dreamed of riding a dragon and adventuring far and wide.
But if anyone looked the part of a true Dragon Knight, it was Leia, not her.
After all, Xuefei was a dragon herself.
As their speed continued to build, the wind hardened into walls all around them. Charging forward felt no different from smashing straight through them. No airplane could hope to match a dragon’s velocity, and roller coasters were a laughable joke by comparison.
Clouds blurred into afterimages. Air whistled past their ears, punctuated by booming sonic cracks.
Hold on.
Wasn’t this speed a little too much?
They weren’t just breaking the sound barrier—Xuefei even suspected Leia was trying to brute-force open a space gate, something utterly impossible even if she vomited up every bite from today’s meals!
“Xuefei, hold your skirt down!”
“No way!”
But what chance did she have?
One hand clutched the necklace at her chest. Clamping her legs around Leia’s draconic neck and gripping those horns for dear life was already her limit.
Without her magic to steer the skirt’s hem, that poor lolita dress would have fluttered off into the horizon miles away. At this velocity, they were little more than a streak to any onlookers—no risk of indecency.
In that moment, the sky rang with one joyful cry and one shocked scream. Even the little dragon wings hugged Leia’s neck tight, reduced to an adorable living warm pack.
“Woo-hoo~”
“Aaah—! Slow down, you menace! I don’t want to get flung off!”
Indeed, staying home to have babies was the way to go.
Cocooned at home with endless food and drink, piles of treasure, and cute dragon eggs—it beat this madness hands down!
And if she got pregnant with a dragon egg? She could indulge Leia now and then with a little (meow~), but otherwise sleep the whole day away without a care. She could even savor the satisfying sensation of the egg slowly growing inside her.
As if answering Xuefei’s silent plea, Leia suddenly flared her wings and decelerated. The abrupt change slammed Xuefei’s petite frame hard against Leia’s neck—like a hapless squirrel clutching a thrashing branch in a raging gale, her body whipped about by the winds.
But right now, she was grateful Leia hadn’t unleashed her full, true form. Otherwise, there might not have been any perch left on that neck at all.
Then the giant dragon burst through the clouds, plunging toward an endless sea of grassland. The crushing weightlessness tore a scream from Xuefei:
“Aaah, slow down!!”
“Heh heh heh.”
At last, Leia hit the grassland like an artillery shell, braking in an instant to spare the plain from obliteration. Her draconic body dissolved in a flash of purple light, reverting to humanoid form. Xuefei, still astride, lost her seat mid-fall—but Leia caught her in outstretched arms, dragon wings cushioning her back as they slid to a halt across the turf.
They came to rest before a cluster of snowy white flowers.
Xuefei confirmed her necklace was secure and let out a relieved sigh. If she could, she’d tuck it safely inside…
A flock of birds streaked overhead, drawn from their long migration by the two evil dragons. They alighted on nearby branches, watching the dragon girls’ antics with open curiosity. A chill autumn breeze stirred silver-white tresses and the hem of Leia’s skirt.
Leia folded away her wings and gently lowered Xuefei onto the grass before her. Her hands stayed put, though—bracing the earth on either side of the little dragon girl like a predator guarding its prize, sheltering her beneath.
Then she giggled.
“Leia, go easy next time! I thought you were lobbing me out like a cannonball. Nearly scared me to death, you know? Hey, what’re you—?”
Leia cradled Xuefei’s head and planted a soft peck on her forehead.
“Just a kiss. Wanna do it again… heh heh.”
“Are you brain-dead or something?” Xuefei narrowed her eyes.
Devouring all those gods should have made her smarter, sharper. Was Leia some kind of “reverse evolution” case? Drifting ever farther from wisdom, reverting to pure instinct. Whenever Xuefei was near, a flood of impulsive whims bubbled up.
Or maybe… was it just her imagination?
Setting aside the silliness, it felt like Leia’s affection had deepened.
Back when Xuefei had first become a little dragon girl, Leia’s “liking” meant lots of naughty escapades. Now it skewed toward genuine emotion—sure, there were still over-the-top moments laced with honeyed lies and tricks, but most things came only after Xuefei’s say-so.
“Go ahead and kiss.”
Xuefei closed her eyes, waiting in silence.
As expected, Leia planted a light kiss on Xuefei’s lips before pulling away, seemingly a touch shy beneath the gaze of passing birds and the sun.
“By the way, this isn’t a Demon Race town, is it? Leia, you didn’t bring me here just to do something weird, did you?”
“Idiot, you planning to head into the Demon Realm just like that?”
Leia tapped Xuefei on the nose. It took the latter a few seconds to catch on…
The Dark Filth were exceptionally united.
This unity took the form of obedience. Any powerhouse, so long as their temperament wasn’t excessively vile or at odds with some greater allegiance, would naturally command respect.
Which was why…
Letting the Dragon King roam freely through the Demon Race’s streets and alleys would inevitably draw far too much “enthusiasm,” making escape a nightmare.
What kind of shopping trip was that? It’d be a full-blown fan rally!
Too many eyes on you was rarely a good thing. A bit of concealment was necessary now and then, if only to savor a private world for two. Otherwise, you’d end up defeating the whole purpose.
“So, Xuefei needs a little disguise. Flaunting those massive dragon wings would draw way too much attention~”
Leia didn’t mind flaunting her affection for Xuefei in public one bit. But this outing felt more like a date than mere shopping. Get too flashy, and it’d ruin the mood for sure.
“Yeah… a little.”
“See~?”
Leia rose to her feet. In a flash of purple light, the dragon tail peeking from beneath her skirt vanished without a trace. The horns and wings atop her head followed suit, magically dissolving away. All that remained were a pair of small Demon Race-style wings and curved Demon horns framing the sides of her head.
“It’s illusion magic…”
“Not bad, Xuefei.”
Leia praised her while casting the same illusion on Xuefei. Xuefei swished her tail in front of herself and saw that—without activating her Evil Dragon sight—it had disappeared entirely.
Altering one’s body was no simple task. Forcibly retracting a tail or wings was brutally difficult… Even if severed, they’d regenerate under the influence of magic.
For Dark Filth powerhouses like Leia and Xuefei, their forms were locked in place by the sheer might of their souls.
With her Dragon Clan traits concealed, Xuefei found herself lost in Leia’s face…
“You look just like… you from your human days.”
Aside from the shift from adventurer garb to a sleek black dress paired with thigh-high stockings—and those intensely commanding eyes—the girl before her began to overlap perfectly with the heroine from the First Playthrough.
Leia covered her mouth with a wicked grin.
“Ehehe, does that mean you’ve gone and fallen for me all over again? But Xuefei, you’re nothing like the old you anymore~”
