Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

"Ah? Are you serious? Damn it, Little Dragon Highness, why didn't you say so earlier? I've wasted so much. You, being a dragon, have no idea how valuable this stuff is in our Human World. Dragon dung is very popular here.

Especially among alchemists, this substance can be refined by an alchemist to produce ambergris and can also be made into expensive perfumes. Now that it's summer, some nobles will spend a lot of money on Dragon Fragrance to repel insects and enhance the scent.

There are also those beads made into bracelets called Dragon Balls, which some extraordinary beings like to wear. In the wilderness, those who wear Dragon Balls can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, as snakes and beasts will stay away from the scent of the Dragon Ball.

The higher the quality of the Dragon Ball, the stronger the deterrent effect... Little Dragon Highness, you and Lord Lance are too generous, giving away four or five bags of this high-quality fertilizer.

I can't even begin to imagine how beautiful and colorful the flowers and plants here will look when they grow."

When Joanna learned that the fertilizer was made from dragon dung, she was initially uncomfortable, but when she thought about the luxurious branded perfumes used by some nobles in the capital that contained this precious "material," she immediately got over it.

No, the precious "material" contained in those luxury brand perfumes might not even be as good as the high-quality fertilizer she now had.

"This... this stuff can also be made into perfume?"

The young dragon was shocked, as in her mind, perfumes were extracted from flowers and plants.

"Yeah, the top-grade ambergris is made from this, and luxury brand perfumes also contain this material. Little Dragon Highness, have you and Lord Lance ever been to the capital?"

"No... no... What's up?"

"I heard that a trendy perfume named Blue Moon has recently hit the capital, originating from some unknown little place. After this Blue Moon Brand Perfume entered the capital's perfume market, it caused quite a stir, directly becoming a noble-exclusive perfume.

Even members of the Royal Family are using this brand's perfume. Blue Moon Brand Perfume is excellent in every way, but the production is limited, only able to produce 100 bottles every six months. Whenever it appears on the market, it's snatched up instantly, and due to its popularity, Blue Moon is only available by reservation."

Blue Moon Brand Perfume?

Never heard of it. During her time in the capital, she had not heard of this brand's perfume, nor had she seen any of the noble daughters or minister's daughters using it.

If there had been, surely some satisfied noble lady would have promoted it amongst her friends.

It wasn't there when she left, but by the time she returned as the Emperor of the Farolan Empire, maybe it would exist.

The more luxurious the perfume, the greater the ambition. Kingdoms are not their target; their ultimate goal is to march into the empire, win the recognition of the nobility, and even the Imperial Family, of their perfume's quality in the capital.

Blue Moon Brand Perfume...

The young dragon subconsciously glanced at the Black Dragon, who seemed to be asleep in a rocking chair...

The City Lord's Mansion's maid was fanning him with a fan...

Ugh, Black Dragon knows how to enjoy himself too much!

It probably has nothing to do with him. How could a lazy Black Dragon like him be bothered to refine perfume, then sell it in the Human World...

It's crazy, hearing the word "Blue" instinctively makes her think of Lance.

"Little Dragon Highness, next time I go to the capital, if I can snap up a bottle of Blue Moon, I'll bring it back for you to smell. If it's affordable, I'll buy two bottles and give one to you, cute Little Dragon Highness."

"Hehe... I only use perfumes extracted from flowers and herbs."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Right, Little Dragon Highness, you are a dragon..."

Joanna moved closer to the young dragon and gently poked her round little belly with her finger, "Little Dragon Highness, that girl who keeps wriggling and squirming on the ground... is she a person transformed from a caterpillar?"

When Lance brought the cute little dragon to the City Lord's Mansion, he also had Little Dragon Highness carry a small girl in a bag.

Quite a tiny and cute one.

With fluffy and unkempt deep blue curls, a petite face, tiny mouth, and big eyes, possibly due to incomplete evolution, or having not evolved legs yet, the tiny caterpillar girl was bagged.

Laid on the ground, she could only wriggle back and forth, batting her big eyes, looking here and there... seemingly dazzled by everything she saw.

Now, that caterpillar girl was squirming around Lord Lance's rocking chair.

Caterpillar?

The young dragon Lucia followed Joanna's gaze and saw the squid lady stuffed by the Evil Dragon into a bag.

The squid woman's lower half was encased in a bag, while her upper body remained outside.

In the morning, the Evil Dragon wanted to paint, and fearing that the squid woman would take advantage of his distraction to go to Central Avenue and regard humans as a buffet, he wrapped her tentacles up, stuffed her into a bag, and hung it from a horizontal beam outside the temple.

So the squid woman swayed back and forth in the breeze.

At lunchtime, the Evil Dragon removed the seal from the squid woman's mouth, but while his back was turned, she took the opportunity to slip the Cat Maid's cat tail into her mouth. Had the Evil Dragon not punched her, she would have even tried to bite off the furry ears.

Annoyed by her, the Evil Dragon fed her a few steaks, then bagged her up again, resealed her mouth, and didn't let her nibble on whatever she saw…

In the afternoon, upon reaching the City Lord's Mansion, the Evil Dragon felt the need for a nap and didn't have time to deal with the squid woman. He left her as she was in the bag... crawling around on the ground like a caterpillar...

It would probably be evening before she was released.

"In light of the way you keep calling me 'Your Highness,' here's a piece of advice: Don't get too close to her when she can talk, or she'll crawl up to you, sniff you, and if she finds you smell nice, she'll go 'awoo' and take a bite to taste you..."

"I had no idea young Dragon Highness was into telling horror stories..."

"...."

If you don't believe me, just wait until the squid woman climbs onto your back and bites your head; you'll see if I'm telling horror stories then.

The crushed stones in the garden had been sorted out by yesterday, and today, soil was added to the garden. Bricks and stones were used to divide it into sections, and then slate walkways were laid. What remained was to transfer the plants and flowers.

The Evil Dragon said there was no need to transplant the plants; he had seeds for various flowers and grasses, which could simply be sprinkled across the soil.

By nightfall, the City Lord's Mansion garden had been restored—sans the plants. In fact, the layout was even better than before it was destroyed.

Dinner was at the City Lord's Mansion, where the Evil Dragon received a warm reception from Joanna's father, who repeatedly thanked the Evil Dragon, admitting that without him, his daughter might have never overcome her sorrow.

After dinner, Joanna's father brought out a famous painting for Lance to appreciate. Coincidentally, the painting that the City Lord asked the Evil Dragon to appreciate was a centuries-old masterpiece by a great artist named Lord Lance.

The painting's name: Soaring Unbounded for Ninety Thousand Miles.

The painting depicted a great fish leaping out of the sea and transforming into a golden-winged bird, soaring towards the heavens.

On either side of the painting, there was a line: The roc rises with the wind in one day, soaring unbounded for ninety thousand miles.

Excellent.

Written beautifully!

Some downtrodden traveling poets liked to recite these lines, using them to inspire themselves.

"Based on my many years of archaeological experience, this painting is an authentic piece, albeit a little new. It would be fine as a family heirloom," said the Evil Dragon.

"That's good to hear. Once the Brandon Orphanage is refurbished, I plan to hang this painting there to inspire the children," replied the City Lord.

"That's a fine idea," agreed the Evil Dragon.

The Evil Dragon had a very pleasant conversation with the City Lord.

When they left the City Lord's Mansion, it was already late. The Evil Dragon didn't take the squid woman to set up a stall; instead, they went directly back to the island via a portal.

The squid woman, who had spent the day inside the bag, was dumped into the sea by the Evil Dragon, who told her to go home and sleep.

After clashing with Turtle and drinking the medicine the Evil Dragon had mixed, she returned to the Dragon Nest. The Evil Dragon was in the midst of painting, once again portraying a Valkyrie.

Except this time, the painting... was almost as large as the statue of the Temple Valkyrie...

The Young Dragon felt drowsy and went to sleep first.

In the middle of the night... she heard a noise and half-asleep, she opened her eyes... to find an additional statue in the Dragon Nest.

It looked somewhat familiar.

She rubbed her eyes with her Dragon Claw, took a closer look, and the Young Dragon's soul nearly leaped out of her skin...
