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

The temples dedicated to the Dragon God Statue... I don't know about other places, but the Imperial Capital of the Farolan Empire doesn't have a Dragon God Temple, neither does the Red Maple Kingdom, nor the Norde Kingdom.

At present, the only human kingdom or empire she knew of that had built a Dragon God Temple was Saint Blue.

As a Dragon God, it's uncertain whether he would acknowledge the temples and statues built by humans... or whether he would bless the humans of Saint Blue.

Living with the Evil Dragon, the Young Dragon felt her rhythm of life had become slower and more comfortable; she seemed... to have picked up some of the Evil Dragon's free and easy style...

It's only been a little over two months, if she lived with the Evil Dragon for three to five years... would she be assimilated by the Evil Dragon?

Freedom, indolence, slow pace, doing as one pleases.

No money? Set up a stall and earn some. Got money?... spend it to enjoy...

The Evil Dragon said he liked Gold Coins, but wouldn't become a slave to them...

It was a bit clearer now why the Evil Dragon was poor: he didn't save money, enjoyed pleasures, and occasionally, when encountering some novel and interesting things, he would buy them. Besides these, he would purchase some herbs, some ingredients for alchemy.

If he came across damaged objects with Supernatural Power, he would buy those too, then go back to the island... repair the damaged objects and give them to her for self-defense.

Being long-lived was great; the so-called "ancient" Superhuman Items of humankind were devoid of the dignity they should have had in the possession of the Evil Dragon.

He could fix them with ease.

Unless it was an "ancient" Superhuman Item from four thousand, five thousand, or six thousand years ago, only those could make the Evil Dragon take them seriously.

But such ancient Superhuman Items were hard to come by.

The Evil Dragon enjoyed treasure hunting at antique markets, something she had recently discovered.

Lately, the Evil Dragon had also stopped her from setting up a stall in Saint Blue City to sell octopus balls; he probably didn't want to see scenes of boys and girls flirting using lines from the romance novels he used to write.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A while back, he sent a letter to the Fantasy Dimension, requesting his books be listed as Banned Books and no longer be sold.

The books that had been sold before were another story.

September 15, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar.

The Evil Dragon was cleaning the dust on the Dragon God Statue, while the Young Dragon Lucia also held a brush, imitating the Evil Dragon's actions and meticulously dusting every scale on the Dragon God Statue.

She started cleaning meticulously from the top of the Dragon God Statue's head, making sure not to miss any corner. When cleaning the statue's neck, the Evil Dragon let Turtle enlarge a bit and stood on Turtle's back to slowly continue the cleaning.

When tired, she would sit on Turtle's back to rest with some tea and fruit.

She, the Young Dragon, was instructed to continue cleaning, as it was said to be an excellent opportunity to gain the Dragon God's favor.

The Evil Dragon really treated her like a child, yet he hadn't completed the final step for the Dragon God Statue...

Bringing the painting to life!

When the Dragon Eye sculpture on the Dragon God Statue was completed, and the statue was entirely shaped at that moment, should the Dragon God feel it... maybe then she, the fake Young Dragon, might have a chance to gain a tiny bit of the Dragon God's favor.

Oh, the Dragon God might also dislike her since she was a fake Young Dragon...

The Young Dragon, earnestly cleaning the Dragon God Statue, became even more devout, not needing the Dragon God to favor her, the fake Young Dragon, but rather hoping the Dragon God wouldn't dislike her...

"Take a break, come have some watermelon."

"I'm not tired yet."

"Make sure to wear your mask properly."

"Oh."

The Dragon Whelp didn't want to rest, and Lance didn't insist. Shouldn't the Dragon God sense what was happening here and feel a bit ashamed not to bless his Dragon Whelp?

The construction of the Dragon God Temple had exceeded his expectations; at this rate, it should be completed by the end of September.

To build the Dragon God Temple, Saint Blue had mobilized every available resource, with the Supernatural ones joining in. Six shifts of over a thousand people each took turns working; with such speed and efficiency, it was difficult not to progress quickly.

The Dragon Whelp had been performing well recently. The Dragon Script she wrote was gaining some flair. Once she finished all the practice sheets in the Lucky Coin, he would give her some advanced practice sheets to continue her practice.

Her ability to withstand hits had improved slightly compared to when she first arrived, although there was no significant change in her strength.

Her flying ability was still unremarkable, completely lacking in grace. It seemed she'd have to wear the Gravity Patches until she was grown up. The settings for the Gravity Patches would have to be increased gradually, as increasing them too quickly would only backfire.

Forcing growth would do no good.

When chanting the Dragon Hymn... she still preferred "Ao." Maybe because she had been eating well recently, her "Ao" was full of vigor, but lacked any kind of deterrence.

It contained no hint of Dragon's Majesty and couldn't achieve a mental shock effect.

He still fell unconscious when she chanted the Dragon Hymn, which was normal. When she could listen to his Dragon Hymn without fainting, the spiritual deterrence and pressure from powerful beings would hardly instill fear in the Dragon Whelp. Discover stories with empire

She should have recognized close to a thousand Dragon Script characters by now. By the end of the month, it would be time for an assessment.

If the Dragon Whelp could articulate the characters clearly by then, he would teach her a few Dragon Curses.

If she managed to cast Dragon Curses smoothly, she could be considered to have grasped a basic attack method.

Not being able to Breathe Dragon's Breath wasn't a big deal. Once the Dragon Whelp evolved into a Pure Blood Young Dragon, she would naturally master the trick of breathing Dragon's Breath.

Perhaps when that time came, her Dragon Breath would be even more deadly.

This Dragon Whelp he had picked up was clumsy, timid, a glutton, and playful, but obedient, kind, and sometimes surprisingly so.

Of course, as they spent more time together, the Dragon Whelp would occasionally show her mischievous side, like when she invited him with an innocent and cute tone to watch "The Noble Young Master's Guide to Romance" at the theater in Saint Blue City.

She had bad intentions and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

There might've been a smidgen of retaliation mixed in, seeing as how he boasted and showed off in front of the dragon whelp when his manuscript first got published.

He didn't feel much when writing those lines, but when the kids in the city played around using his lines... why did it feel so awkward?

He even got goosebumps listening to them.

He couldn't think about it, every time he did, he wanted to furiously scrub the dragon whelp's bald little head to soothe his own embarrassment.

Better get to work, or the dragon whelp will start cursing him in its heart, calling his Black Dragon Dad a lazy dog.

It took five days to clean the dust off the Dragon God Statue.

After the dust was gone, Lance mixed the paint and started coloring the Dragon God Statue with the dragon whelp.

They began by coloring the tail of the Dragon God Statue.

As the young dragon colored the Dragon God Statue, it smeared paint over its face, dragon claws, dragon tail...

Paint covered its clothes and pants, but luckily it was wearing work pants. The paint, mixed by the Evil Dragon itself, was superhuman—sunproof, colorfast, and odorless. After finishing the coloring of the Dragon God Statue, she just needed to wash her work attire... and it would be fit to wear again.

She quite liked the set of work pants, work vest, and work boots the Evil Dragon had bought for her.

Wearing the work boots... didn't feel as comfortable as being barefoot...

But wearing the full gear... she, the little dragon princess, looked so cool.

Tixia, Olienna, and Ingrid all said she looked cool.

Tixia has been a bit busy recently, only showing up every now and then; who knows what she's been up to.

She is probably tied up with Saint Blue's governance; after all, the Evil Dragon genuinely doesn't meddle in Saint Blue's affairs, allowing the territory to self-govern and freely develop.

He just does what he likes and then enjoys himself.

Coloring the Dragon God Statue took ten days, which only would've taken seven or eight days if the Evil Dragon had been slightly more disciplined.

The free-spirited Evil Dragon... with no sense of sacrifice or dedication.

Even the Dragon God Statue couldn't stop him from resting, enjoying himself, or rowing to the center of the lake to fish...

The Qing Shui Lake outside Saint Blue City has no big fish left because they've all been eaten by the squid mommy...

Rumors of water monsters in Qing Shui Lake have already begun to spread inside Saint Blue City...

After several days of coming up empty-handed on the lake, the Evil Dragon went down to see for herself and ended up infuriated, finding only little fish and shrimp.

She ordered the squid mommy to sell goods to earn money to restock Qing Shui Lake with fish and shrimp to restore its ecosystem.

On October 10 of the year 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, the Dragon God Temple was finally completed.

The solemn and ancient Dragon God Temple exuded a sense of divinity upon its completion...

Inside the temple, the walls were adorned with exquisite frescoes of giant dragons.

In the center of the high platform stood the Dragon God Statue carved by the Evil Dragon.

On the stone pillars to the left and right were ancient runes, carved by the Evil Dragon herself - the Dragon Script.

A crowd gathered outside the temple, here to witness the birth of the very first deity statue in the Saint Blue Territory.

In their hearts, the viscount deserved to enjoy his very own temple.

They all had the same thought: a hundred years from now, they would build a temple for the viscount and worship him.

They would honor the viscount as the "Holy Blue God".

Six o'clock in the evening.

More people filled the square outside the Dragon God Temple, gathered to watch the viscount add the finishing touch to the Dragon God Statue's eyes.

Once the Dragon God Statue was completed, they would all kneel and pray sincerely to the Dragon God.

Inside the temple.

The young dragon stood beside Lance, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. It was her first time witnessing the birth of a deity statue.

If after the Evil Dragon completed the eyes, the statue possessed divine charm and divinity, it would surely be a moment worth recording in the annals of Saint Blue.

It would equally be a divine miracle worth penning in her diary.

"Viscount, it is time."

"Mmm, take off the red cloth, I will add the final touch to the Dragon God Statue's eyes."

"Yes."

Tixia waved to the four Lan Yue Knights standing below the platform. The red cloth dropped, and behind Lance appeared a pair of Light Wings. Flapping his light wings, he flew up to the eyes of the Dragon God Statue to begin the finishing touch.

The Dragon God Statue's eyes had already been carved two days earlier. Now, it was time to color them and bring a "divine charm" to the eyes.

As Lance painted the last vertical pupil of the Dragon God Statue, the humans inside the temple were astonished to find that the Dragon God Statue had changed. It had acquired divine charm; those dreamy, rainbow vertical pupils seemed alive. People inside the temple who caught its gaze... instinctively closed their eyes.

Meanwhile, everyone within the temple, outside, and throughout the entire Saint Blue Territory heard a majestic dragon chant that seemed to arise directly from the bottom of their hearts.

"Dragon, dragon, dragon... the Rainbow Dragon God... above the Dragon God Temple... there's a rainbow dragon light shadow... is this the Dragon God Temple that we in Saint Blue built... receiving the Dragon God's approval?"

A Rainbow Light Shadow Giant Dragon blocking out the moonlight appeared above the Dragon God Temple, its radiance bathing Saint Blue in a myriad of colors.
