“You damned white-hair, you have no heart!”
Seeing that he had poured out his past and told a story that made him want to weep every time he brought it up, only for the Bai Xiaodu in front of him to remain completely unmoved, as if he were utterly sick to death of it.
The Red Dragon Demon clutched his chest with one hand once more.
“Do you even know what love is? Do you have any idea how hard Kiru had to struggle along the way?!”
Bai Xiaodu looked utterly listless.
“Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. You love me, I love you, and in the end, some NTR guy—no, wait, this time it's a red-hair in the middle. What a thrilling crotch-drama tragedy.”
The Red Dragon Demon felt his skull buzzing. What on earth was this guy talking about?! Was his heart really made of steel?
“What crotch tragedy?! This is love! This is a bitter love of yearning for what cannot be had, of staring at what cannot be reached, of tossing and turning in bed!”
Bai Xiaodu sneered.
“You're crying tears, and she's getting wet.
Wow. Honestly, this Kiru you're talking about is so much of a simp that it makes me sick. And frankly, that silver dragon isn't any good either. There's nothing wrong with giving up on a pathetic simp to pursue love, but pursuing her childhood bully is just pure masochism.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet that red dragon playboy's house is full of all sorts of strange little toys. Specifically designed to handle a little silver sticky-cake who gets clingier the more she's beaten.
Who knows? Maybe that silver dragon's congratulations to Kiru at the banquet was just an order from her master after he personally equipped her with those little toys.”
The Red Dragon Demon interrupted him agitatedly, his eyes practically spitting fire as rage hammered against his chest.
“What are you saying?! I will not allow you to utter such slanderous and defamatory words!
How could Maria... The silver dragons are the most noble and beautiful race among all dragons!!! The silver dragon lady in the story must have had her reasons; she must have had no choice! The red dragons are incredibly powerful, so she must have been used as a tool for a political marriage! It must be so!
In such a tragic story, from beginning to end, she was nothing but a pure, innocent victim!”
Bai Xiaodu was starting to find this unbearable. All this talk of love and romance might work on others.
But he used to be a gaming companion! Others might not be familiar with these situations, but how could he not know?
Things had already been spelled out so clearly, yet this guy was still defending her.
“Does a remnant spirit get that heavily influenced by the original host's consciousness? Why are you acting like such a loser too?
The 'noble and beautiful' dragon in your heart is nothing but a joke to others. Wake up, you idiot!
Let me tell you, in this story, Kiru had absolutely no purpose other than acting as a cuckold buff to increase the red dragon playboy's attack speed.
He didn't dare to admit his feelings, didn't dare to love, and didn't even give the silver dragon a shred of hope. If he had at least said, 'I'm too weak right now, but my love for you will never change. I will work hard from this moment on until I can marry you fair and square,' I would have at least acknowledged that he tried, okay?
He said nothing and did nothing, only thinking he could silently work hard to move the world. He was a pure coward and a loser. A bastard like him would not only be at the absolute bottom among the dragons, but he'd also be bottom-tier trash even in the United Federation!”
Whipped by this verbal onslaught, the Red Dragon Demon's face flushed red and white, looking incredibly embarrassed. After a long silence, he finally spoke.
“...I suppose I can admit now that Kiru indeed didn't handle things well back then. He truly didn't fully consider the silver dragon's feelings.
But it has already happened. The ship has sailed, the river has flowed into the sea, and his beloved has already married another. There is no way to undo it.
Kiru could only accept reality. To have the courage to accept and face all of this—I don't think he was a coward.”
His expression turned grief-stricken and indignant.
“In the end, it was just the mentality of a youth at play. I can see you aren't very old. Have you never been in this kind of situation, or had any similar romantic experiences with peers your age? Would you really be able to calmly face everything and handle it rationally under such circumstances?”
Bai Xiaodu shook his head coldly.
“Sorry, I only like older women with great figures who are gentle and know how to pamper me.
As I said before, I've long since grown used to walking alone in the rain, facing all the rumors and misunderstandings by myself.
Besides, what do you mean there's no way to undo it? Do you actually love that silver dragon or not?”
The Red Dragon Demon nodded hesitantly, then immediately corrected Bai Xiaodu.
“Not me, but Kiru. Of course he loved her, otherwise he wouldn't have put in so much effort and endured so much pain.”
Bai Xiaodu curled his lip.
“If you love her, just sleep with her. What kind of man hesitates and beats around the bush?
Didn't you say she was unwilling? Use your pig-brained dragon head and think! A playboy, especially from the lustful dragon clan, would have countless wives and concubines. No matter how beautiful the silver dragon is, he can't keep his eyes on her all the time.
She's the textbook definition of a perfect, lonely young housewife. In that melancholy state of mind, an old acquaintance from her youth suddenly appears, passionately reminiscing about the past and teasing her just a little. Who could resist that?
And then they'd weep to each other about how hard their lives have been over the years, recalling the ignorant yet pure and passionate love of their youth...”
Bai Xiaodu clapped his hands sharply.
“Next thing you know, everything that should and shouldn't be done is done! If your luck is bad, it's just a private banquet to make up for your youth. If your luck is good and you end up having a little dragon hatchling, that red dragon's head is going to turn greener than the vast grasslands!”
Listening to Bai Xiaodu's words in utter shock, the Red Dragon Demon fell into brief contemplation, his face shifting through a rapid succession of emotions.
Wait, what he's saying actually seems to make a bit of sense. It sounds like a pretty good solution.
But wasn't this method a bit too bizarre? Besides, if they were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable. At worst, Kiru would just be beaten and thrown out—he had the strength to escape anyway—but the silver dragon would...
He shook his head quickly, but the Red Dragon Demon's attitude had clearly changed.
He was no longer angry and fierce like before. Instead, he carried a hint of caution, like an ignorant student who had just met a once-in-a-lifetime mentor.
“But... but that was the silver dragon's own choice. I think, perhaps, Kiru had to respect her decision.”
Bai Xiaodu didn't hold back at all, firing right back.
“You absolute idiot.
You respect her, but did she respect you?
Even if it was the coward Kiru's fault, there is no excusing that bitch of a silver dragon marrying her bully! It respected neither the girl she was in her youth, nor the young Kiru!
Besides, after Kiru returned all those years later, who knows how long that silver dragon and the red dragon had been fooling around?
You have to realize, even going by our tiny human bodies, in just one year, a rough estimate could easily fill a two-liter soda bottle!
I won't say any more. Do the math yourself!”
Bai Xiaodu chuckled.
“With that much volume already, what's the big deal if you mix a bit of your own in?”
