Her skin resembled that of an ice sculpture, fair and clear, with a youthful but charming complexion. It had the power to make even the swirling cherry blossoms of April lose their vibrancy. Paired with her head of silky, snow-white hair, the girl appeared like a lotus that had bloomed in the midst of a blizzard.

Her eyes, heterochromic in shades of purple and gold, possessed a bewitching allure. Long, curved dragon horns protruded from her head, while smooth, white jade-like scales enveloped her tail, adding to her exotic temperament. This beauty, capable of toppling kingdoms, invoked the deepest desires in any man to dominate and possess her by any means necessary.

Mo Li, being an ordinary young man, was no exception. Comparing the girls he’d seen in the past that used makeup to this otherworldly beauty, was like comparing fireflies to the sun. Although she was young, it was undeniable that as she grew older, she would become a breathtaking beauty. Describing her as a calamity wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The primitive desires of any living organism would prompt them to step forward and express their love for her. Even if they were to face rejection, they would pursue her like moths drawn to a flame, without any regrets. It’s just a pity that in this world, Mo Li knew only he didn’t even have the right to be rejected by this girl, because this outstanding beauty was himself…

He truly wanted to berate the cloaked figure standing in front of him, to question what they had done to his body, but the silk stockings stuffed inside his mouth rendered him capable only of unintelligible whines. “Get a good look at yourself?” the cloaked figure spoke, her voice as beautiful as a black-naped oriole chirping through a valley, igniting one’s imagination. Merely hearing her voice evoked an uncontrollable curiosity about the beautiful face concealed beneath her cloak. Is this a dream? No, it’s not a dream. The crisp cold air repeatedly reminded him of that fact, as it struck against his cheeks.

Mo Li noticed that the cloaked figure also possessed a pair of dragon horns protruding through her cloak, similar to the ones on his own head, except hers were slim and long, while his seemed like small stubs in comparison. She then took away the silver mirror that was in front of Mo Li. “Don’t misunderstand, I’m simply helping you understand what has happened first. I would get a headache if the moment you opened your mouth it became a barrage of questions.”

“Mrfffff!” The girl with cherry-white hair struggled desperately under the dim moonlight. She lay tied up on her back, her limbs exposed to the sky, resembling a helpless sheep awaiting its slaughter. Despite the delicate flush that adorned her fair and delicate cheeks, testament to her intense emotional fluctuations, the sturdy ropes tightly embraced her petite and youthful frame, accentuating every curve and contour. Perhaps due to the tightness of the rope binding her, her tear glands gave way, causing her onyx-like eyes to well up with tears. While cherry-white colored hair lay disheveled behind her, creating a clearly embarrassing state of disarray. However, on the body of this white-haired beauty, it still presented a captivating scene that left one’s eyes satisfied, evoking both pity and a desire to tease her.

Observing that Mo Li’s mood had stabilized slightly, the cloaked girl removed the rolled-up stocking from his mouth. “Who are you? What did you do to my body? Where is this place? What do you want? I’m warning you…”

“Noisy,” the girl’s voice turned ice cold, filled with impatience. “Calm down and listen to me.”

“¹Of course you can stand and talk, so your waist doesn’t hurt. How am I supposed to calm down?? After falling asleep and waking up, I find that my little brother is gone! Who could bear that?! And what’s with the lizard horns on my head and the lizard tail behind my back? Did you plug them into me? You’re too overbearing, you…”

“I said, quiet, and, listen, to, me, speak.” Under the night sky, the girl’s golden eyes emitted an icy cold aura that sent shivers down Mo Li’s spine. In that moment, Mo Li felt as if he had been targeted by a terrifying beast, causing even his continuous struggles to come to a halt. Facing those bright golden pupils under the moonlit night, his breathing was cut short. “What I hate the most is being interrupted.” The young lady leaned down, tilting Mo Li’s chin with her slim, tender jade-like fingers as she spoke, causing their eyes to meet. “Interrupt me again, and I’ll strip you naked, tie you up, and throw you into the forest on the outskirts of the city. Understand?” Her emotionless eyes left no room for doubt. Mo Li swallowed his unfinished words, not doubting her at all. If he angered her, she would truly carry out her threat and abandon him in the forest, leaving his fate to chance.

While previously he might have been fine enduring a night in the woods, it was different now. He had heard rumors of a goblin nest in the woods on the outskirts of the city. These little demons were drawn to the scent of women like rats to cheese. If some unspeakable events were to occur during the night, it would be disastrous. “Are you willing to shut up now?” Under the dim night sky, the cloaked woman raised her eyebrows. Mo Li’s head nodded vigorously, resembling a garlic scrape. “Explaining everything would take a long time, so I’ll simplify it for you: you aren’t human.”

“You’re the one who’s not human,” Mo Li retorted, unable to contain his frustration of being cursed at. However, the girl in front of him merely tilted her head and regarded him with a curious expression.

“I wasn’t human in the first place.”

“…Wa?” Without giving Mo Li a chance to react the girl removed the cloak covering her face. Her white hair cascaded like a blooming lotus in the moonlight, creating a mesmerizing sight. Most eye-catching was her face, illuminated by the moon’s gentle glow; it possessed an otherworldly beauty that seemed to dim the light around her.

Mo Li squinted his eyes and suddenly realized that he and the girl in front of him bore a striking 70% resemblance, with the exception of their size. If he were to gauge based on age, Mo Li would be in his childhood stage, while the young lady standing before him had already reached maturity. After carefully observing this breathtaking young lady, Mo Li noticed the swaying tail behind her and felt a gulp reflexively run down his throat. It became clear to him that the woman standing in front of him belonged to a different race, she certainly wasn’t human. “Is this a case of a lizard monster assuming human form?” Mo Li bickered to himself, momentarily stunned before realizing that the soft and gentle voice he heard was his own.

“Lizard monster? Huh.” The girl’s eyes mirrored the tranquility of clear, emerald-green waters, undisturbed by even the slightest ripple. “Don’t lump me together with those inferior creatures.” Her voice remained calm, yet carried an inherent sense of superiority. It was as if she was born to look down upon others from a lofty position. As she stood there, it seemed as though the earth wasn’t there to support her, rather she was simply acquiesced to its existence instead.

In the faint reflection of her shadow, a silhouette of a giant dragon became discernible, while a pair of powerful dragon wings disturbed the stagnant air, granting her the authority over skies. Mo Li stood in awe, realizing her incomprehensible ability to bend nature to her will. The moment he witnessed that shadow, he fully understood the situation. His parched throat cracked as he spoke.

“Dragon…” Giant dragons, the undisputed rulers of the sky since ancient times, mythical creatures of legend. Although most had retreated into seclusion since the establishment of the first human empire, Ya Ting, no one dared to deny their power. They simply had no inclination to involve themselves in the affairs of the world. However, if their roars were to echo once again, no one would dare challenge their unquestionable authority; as ordinary people were only fit to tremble in their presence.

Just as humans were divided into different races, dragons also possessed various species. The most common are the brown dragons that reside deep in the mountains and old growth forests. However, the most renowned were the royal bloodline of the dragon race, known as Qian Bai Yu. Considered a mythical species, legends speak of their dwellings in the City of the Sky, beyond the borders of the Orchid River. Although no human has ever seen them, their bloodline and strength undeniably made them the most powerful dragon species.

Mo Li slowly raised his gaze. He had never heard of a dragon species capable of assuming human form, but there was no doubt that they must be an immensely powerful being. At least, it wasn’t an existence that a mere mortal like himself could comprehend. To be honest, he felt that if he were to buy a lottery ticket right now, he would undoubtedly hit the jackpot. The chances of encountering a dragon in a human’s short lifespan was definitely lower than winning a lottery.

Even the most common brown dragons concealed themselves deep within the mountains. How could one simply encounter a dragon at will? If he were to share his experience with the members of the Giant Dragon Research Association, they would surely be green with envy. They’ve dedicated their entire lives to the pursuit of dragons, yet here comes Mo Li, who was only taking a nap, and a dragon came to seek him out personally. It was just that simple a nap is all that’s needed. Of course, Mo Li’s thoughts served as a means to comfort his anxious little heart, which felt as though it might leap out of his throat at any moment.

The dragon standing before him was a living, golden creature, capable of shattering his bones with a casual movement or a mere breath. Amidst their interaction, the fear that had robbed Mo Li of his reason gradually lessened and his reason slowly returned. Calm down, an absolute superior like a dragon wouldn’t bother to take the life of a mere nobody like myself. If she truly desired my life, it would be a simple matter. Would she even need to come all this way in person? Judging by the fact that this female dragon hasn’t harmed me yet, she probably has no intention of taking my life. “What should I call you, Miss Dragon?”

“Elsa.” The speed at which Mo Li regained his composure piqued Elsa’s interest.

“Miss Elsa, is it appropriate to address you as such?” Mo Li cleared his throat, attempting to seem calm. “I imagine a noble dragon like yourself wouldn’t bother to kill a poor human boy who can’t even afford his own tuition, right? If you need something, please tell me directly. I will cooperate to the best of my abilities.”

Mo Li’s behavior displayed great sensibility as he subtly tugged at his tightly bound body, frowning slightly, expressing his helplessness. Being tied tightly is a bit uncomfortable, particularly the two lumps of fat in front. “But before that, could you please untie me? Also, could you remove the transfiguration spell on my body? Don’t worry, I won’t run away. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to.” Mo Li tried to negotiate with Elsa, hoping that this female dragon wasn’t in a foul mood. If a dragon like her got irritated his little body would probably be lost to some unknown AOE.

However, although Mo Li thought he spoke very respectfully, Elsa’s expression became increasingly filled with ridicule. “Did I say something wrong? If so, I apologize. I didn’t mean to offend,” Mo Li added cautiously, his words laced with apprehension.

“Transfiguration spell? What are you talking about? I’ve never learned anything like that.” Elsa responded, her voice dripping with amusement. The girl bent down, and her pure, snow-white hair brushed against the tip of Mo Li’s nose, tickling it.

“…? If it’s not a transfiguration spell, then what is happening to my body right now?” Mo Li struggled to hide the panic in his heart.

“Guess.” Elsa replied, savoring Mo Li’s bewilderment. She moved closer as she spoke, her soft hands moving to caress Mo Li’s face, intensifying his confusion. “Mortals aren’t worthy to know the name of a Qian Bai Yu. I’ll give you a little hint: giving one’s full name is to establish a relationship between dragons of equal status.”
