Free Web NovelChapter 184: Chapter 99: The Life Ceremony You Mentioned... Is It Like This? A Red Dragon to Rival the Elf Queen
Naida’s Dragon tail coiled gently around Su Xuan’s waist. While not as nimble as a snake’s tail, its unique plumpness provided a different kind of tactile experience, immersing him in a wonderfully soft and comfortable sensation. It was a unique feeling that made him want to explore it even more.
Her Golden eyes, shimmering with a faint light, stared intently into Su Xuan’s as the previous day’s events replayed in her mind.
That day, after asking Su Xuan to close his eyes, Naida had begun her attempt.
However, the process was more than she had anticipated. Fortunately, she was a Giant Dragon, with a body structured differently from a human’s, allowing her to use her Half-Dragon-man form...
For some reason, she kept replaying that day’s events in her mind, as if worried she hadn’t performed perfectly.
So now, she wanted to do it again, to do it better and repay Su Xuan for his kindness.
At Naida’s request, Su Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Having had a first time, he certainly wouldn’t refuse a second.
"Are you sure?" Su Xuan whispered, his fingertips gently brushing through Naida’s hair.
Naida nodded lightly, her voice soft. "I want to gain a deeper understanding of the Life Ceremony you mentioned."
As she spoke, Naida drew closer, her Soul Body seemingly about to merge with Su Xuan, to pass right through his clothes and touch his skin.
"Ahem~"
’I had asked Naida before if she had ever performed the Life Ceremony, and she had, of course, said no,’ Su Xuan thought, his gaze flickering away for a moment.
This meant that Naida had produced a lifeless egg. frёewebnoѵēl.com
’As for why Naida thinks this egg contains her child, it’s probably because her memories are a mess, or she’s misunderstood her own situation somehow. After all, when I met her soul, she couldn’t even remember her own name. It’s like she only remembered having an egg but forgot she’d never received the gift of life.’
But while Su Xuan was lost in thought, Naida closed in. She pushed him down onto the sofa and gazed at him with deep affection, her Golden eyes twinkling with what looked like little hearts. They were so close in that moment, it felt as though they could sense the very depths of each other’s souls...
The effect of his Soul Hook had never let up!
"Mr. Su Xuan, what should I do next?" Naida asked, cupping Su Xuan’s face in her hands, full of anticipation. She was waiting for him to guide her through the Life Magic ceremony.
"It’s actually very simple," Su Xuan explained. "First, you need to insert the special item for the Life Ceremony into..."
As he spoke, his fingertips gently brushed over Naida’s Dragon Scales. Even though she was only a Soul Body, every detail was incredibly lifelike. There were subtle differences from a physical body, but she possessed a unique charm all her own.
Even more surprising, her normally hard Dragon Scales had become soft to the touch in her Soul Body form. It wasn’t the gelatinous texture of Rosaline the Slime, but something light and airy, like stroking silk.
"I understand~"
With a soft hum, the long skirt Naida had woven from her soul vanished without a trace.
Her flawless, voluptuous body was completely revealed to Su Xuan, exuding the forbidden, overwhelming presence unique to a Red Dragon.
’Her fair skin could rival even the Elf Queen’s!’
’That’s Naida for you!’
’A Red Dragon!’
"And the special item for the Life Ceremony you mentioned is..."
Naida asked with a radiant smile, "This?"
GULP~
Su Xuan couldn’t help but gulp!
"And then..."
Naida followed Su Xuan’s instructions...
"Eeep~"
(The following is an enlightening account of the Life Ceremony, ten thousand words omitted...)
...
「In the settlement of the Black Dragon Race」 Black Dragons hundreds of meters long gathered, their expressions grim.
"The Reversed Scale was destroyed?"
"What in the world happened? We posted guards!"
"It has to be Veronice! Our Little Princess has made a mess of things again!"
"Veronice? We should have married her off to the Green Dragons long ago instead of letting her continue to be a menace to our Black Dragon Race!"
"Enough, enough! Right now, we need to figure out who stole the Reversed Scale!"
The Black Dragons broke into a flurry of discussion, then all at once, their gazes fell upon Veronice, who was trying to sneak away from a corner.
’Crap!’
Stared down by dozens of pairs of pitch-black eyes, Veronice froze on the spot.
"Veronice, stop right there! Are you trying to run?"
"You must take responsibility for your foolish actions!"
"This time, your father and brothers can’t cover for you!"
"Veronice, the Elders have decided to lock you in the Dark Prison for three years. You will not escape!"
"Like hell I’m getting locked up! See ya, you old geezers!" Veronice immediately spread her wings and fled from the gathering.
"She’s escaping?"
"Don’t let her get away!"
...
「A few hours later」 Su Xuan collapsed onto the sofa in satisfaction. ’Red Dragons really live up to their reputation,’ he sighed to himself. Even her Soul Body had given him an indescribably wonderful feeling.
Naida was resting meekly on his chest, her Dragon tail swaying gently, a wide smile on her face. She looked up and asked curiously, "Mr. Su Xuan, although I felt this Life Ceremony quite deeply, I think your Holy Light was a little different from last time."
’Naida remembered the Holy Light Su Xuan had emitted last time. It had been brilliant, scorching, and filled with unparalleled Power. That intense radiance had brought tears to her eyes!’
This time, although she was still deeply moved, that same intense sensation hadn’t returned.
Su Xuan paused for a few seconds at Naida’s question. ’Last time, I was in my Half-Dragon Transformation when I used the Holy Light,’ he recalled. ’There really is a clear difference in the intensity and sensation of the Holy Light between the two states.’
’The Half-Dragon Transformation boosts my overall combat Power by a third, but considering how fragile Naida’s soul is, I didn’t use it this time.’
’Besides, I still haven’t tested the limits of what I can do in my Half-Dragon Transformation... I guess I’ll have to start with Ivsha!’
"Next time, for sure~"
Naida smiled, gently planting a kiss on Su Xuan’s cheek. "Then I’ll look forward to it~" she said, full of anticipation.
Once she was satisfied, Naida got up and walked over to the Dragon Egg. She hugged it gently. Even though there was no life growing inside it, she still cherished it with the utmost care.
This left Su Xuan confused.
’Could this Dragon Egg really be hiding some kind of deep secret?’
’Something that makes Naida’s soul subconsciously want to protect it?’
’But I can’t sense any ripples of Magic Power on the Dragon Egg, so the chances of the Black Radiant Dragon Heart Scale being hidden inside are practically zero. Otherwise, the Black Dragons would have sensed it long ago...’
’Wait!’
Su Xuan’s eyes suddenly sharpened. ’Maybe the Dragon Egg doesn’t contain the Black Radiant Dragon Heart Scale, or anything at all! But what if it could indirectly restore Naida’s memory and make her recall the Heart Scale’s location?’
’After all, she only remembered her name after she got the Dragon Egg back...’
