It didn't seem like a joke; she might really kill him.
Having spent so much time with Mephistopheles, the fairy was almost always uninhibited. No matter how blasphemous or shameless the jokes were, she could handle them.
And in a very short time, she had fully assimilated everything, becoming even more abstract than Faust. The proper fairy she was when they first met was completely a thing of the past.
Faust truly missed their initial testing period, their honeymoon phase. Though they weren't as close back then, and were still being manipulated by the grand scheme of the 【witches' feast】, at least they weren't as abstract, like wild dogs tearing off human skin.
“Faust, you're not actually going to do what she says, are you?”
Selena pursed her lips and glared at Lian.
Having inherited the Midwinter princess's memories and being tormented by the dragon's curse for so long, the beautiful girl with long black hair inevitably harbored repulsion and fear towards dragons.
“To demand a hug upon meeting is simply too rude. Are all dragons like this?”
Viviana subtly positioned herself in front of Faust and said:
“Your Highness, I think it's better to remain vigilant around dragons, regardless of their intentions.”
Even as 【witches】, their cognition was still that of normal humans. The girls felt panic under the dragon's might, but they still stepped forward for their beloved.
“Ah, so you are those lucky, special children.”
Lian noticed the witches then. She adjusted her wide sleeves, covered her chest, and chuckled happily:
“You're stepping forward to protect your loved one? Your pure and beautiful hearts of love warm me deeply. I was born into this world just to witness such things.”
“May you hold happiness in your hands and enjoy all the beauty in the world… Though I say this to all sons of man, for you, this is no mere blessing or empty talk.”
The fairy certainly knew about the 【witches' feast】. This supreme fate, meant only to fulfill the dreams of beautiful and pure maidens, was a profound love that even gods would envy.
“Mmm…”
Perhaps because Lian's gaze was too sincere and friendly, even though their delicate bodies still trembled slightly from panic, the girls' hostility and vigilance couldn't help but waver.
Lian lowered her eyelids slightly and continued, “I don't have much time. My entrance just now caused quite a stir, and it'll be troublesome if I don't leave quickly. So, could you fulfill my small wish?”
Faust ultimately made the decision: “Alright, if she truly meant me harm, there would be no need for so many words, as if we could even resist.”
With that, Faust darted forward, already eager to get close to the beautiful dragon-maiden.
Just beast-eared girls made the prince drool, let alone a dragon-maiden.
Let me be frank, in this fantastical and magnificent world, whether it's elves, beast-eared girls, or dragon-maidens, they truly deserve appreciation. It's not a matter of repression; it's a matter of principle!
Driven by what he didn't know was courage or obsession, Faust performed an act that was utterly inconceivable in this world, truly rare, coming into direct contact with a true dragon.
The light blue-haired dragon-maiden gently embraced Faust. A delicate fragrance wafted from Lian, initially a faint aroma, which then quickly became rich and mellow, like the scent of mead.
No, not like—it was precisely that. The blue-haired dragon-maiden genuinely carried the sweet scent of mead, as if she had been marinated in it.
This sensation was quite peculiar. Although Lian had a full figure, due to the dragon's might, she wasn't entirely a soft, warm jade. Instead, there was a thrilling chill, like embracing a natural predator.
On the other hand, Faust genuinely enjoyed it. Although Lian looked more like an older sister, almost reaching the level of a mother, if one were to relax the restrictions and consider her mature charm, honed over at least eight hundred years, calling her 'Mama' wouldn't be out of the question.
Comfort and trepidation—two completely distinct emotions—could appear simultaneously, making for an extremely novel experience.
“Ah…”
Lian, however, showed no discomfort at all. She let out a contented sigh, as if she had found a long-sought treasure, then closed her eyes and hummed softly.
“Like, like, like, like, like, like…”
Along with the dragon-maiden's murmurs, she stamped her feet while her tail swayed joyfully behind her, eventually even coiling around Faust's pant leg, wrapping itself round and round, looking quite alluring.
Lian pressed her delicate, smooth cheek against Faust's neck, exhaling slowly and even giving a light peck:
“Has your senior ever done something like this to you? No, right?”
Don't say that, she actually has!
Previously, when Faust's soul was drawn to the Celestial Realm, Mephistopheles had embraced him from behind, and they walked together for a long distance.
Lian read the answer from Faust's expression and said, surprised:
“What, it's not your first time? Your senior certainly marks her territory quickly.”
“It's alright, I don't mind even if it's not your first time. It's my first time, truly embracing a son of man, and you really aren't afraid. Why is that? Are you truly special?”
No, actually, my biological instincts are also afraid, but I forcefully overcame them with rationality (questionable)!
“Because you're very cute, it's fine.”
“Hmph hmph… I also think you're very cute.”
Hearing this, the blue-haired dragon-maiden couldn't help but increase her embrace, holding Faust tightly, sniffing the scent of the man, and refusing to let go for a long time.
This continued for half an hour until the girls repeatedly stomped their feet and lightly coughed, only then did Lian reluctantly release Faust.
“Hmph… truly satisfying. Just the aura replenished this time is enough for me to dilute and drink for another two hundred years.”
Lian clapped her hands and smiled:
“I am truly too satisfied; I must give you a reward…”
The blue-haired dragon-maiden tapped her cheek with her index finger, lost in thought, then swept aside the beautiful hair by her shoulder, revealing her smooth, fair neck, and said:
“Oh, right, how about I bathe you in my blood and bestow upon you 【immortality】?”
Bathing in dragon blood…
Faust's eyes widened upon hearing this proposal.
To bathe one's body in dragon blood grants one the 【immortal body】, a mystery trait almost of the highest rank in the mortal world. This is the glory and power all heroes dream of.
【Are you tempted?】
Mephistopheles's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, startling Faust into immediately stating:
“Cough, cough… Lady Lian, thank you for your kind offer, but I don't wish to bathe in dragon blood just yet. Firstly, the 【immortal】 trait is simply too difficult to explain to the public, and secondly… you know.”
The graceful and beautiful dragon-maiden pouted, took Faust's hands, and said:
“Tsk, she really is meddlesome. She probably wants to just abduct you right here! Come to my side! Didn't you say you wanted to be a dragon knight…”
“Prince Faust!”
Just as Lian was excitedly confiding in the prince, a roaring sound vibrated through the air and reached them.
Alexander could be seen rushing from the horizon, his eyes burning with fire, indignantly shouting:
“What exactly are you doing?”
“You… you're actually colluding with an evil dragon!?”
