The paparazzi duo had always kept the secret that Celeste had been controlled by the dragon.
However, somehow this secret got out to other citizens, and more and more people came to know it.
At first, it caused a little panic, but soon everyone calmed down.
If no one discussed it or spread it, then no one would know that their king had been captured by the dragon.
Then they would still be the only kingdom where the dragon hadn't succeeded.
This was very important. At least the dignity of the kingdom was maintained.
"Actually, if you think about it, this dragon is quite nice. She even allows the king to return to the kingdom."
"Indeed. Other dragons just capture the king and never let him go."
Several people were whispering. From the initial fear and despair, they eventually let it go.
Maybe this was a good dragon.
Although they all knew the possibility was extremely small...
The dragon being discussed by these people was currently identifying herbs.
As a forest priest and a forest doctor, she had to constantly improve her medical skills.
She had to learn a lot every day. She also went to the witch to learn pharmacy. The witch initially refused to teach her, saying that unless she gave her voice to her.
Ji Zhaoxi threatened the witch fiercely in her dragon form, and finally the witch agreed to teach her.
Ji Zhaoxi had a special room for making potions in the crystal palace. Many times when she was wearing a robe and shaking test - tubes, she felt as if the witch had possessed her.
She also had to learn about various water - related knowledge, otherwise the grass and glowing mushrooms would drown.
Celeste still attended the "school" on a daily basis, but now he did it more naturally.
The people in the palace would also prepare some food, daily necessities, medicines, and a box of rare gemstones for Celeste when he left the palace.
They hoped that the dragon would treat their Prince Celeste well.
Watching Celeste ride away on his horse, the soldier looked at his back with full of sympathy.
He wondered what kind of inhuman torture Prince Celeste would endure next. There were more wounds on his body this time when he came back.
How pitiful...
"Commander, being a king is also a high - risk occupation, right?" the soldier asked.
Prince Celeste really sacrificed himself for the greater good.
The commander leaned against the corner of the palace, with her hat covering her face, too lazy to talk.
She didn't know whether it was Celeste or that dragon who was in more danger.
But she had indeed become much more idle recently.
She wasn't as tired as before, and she still got the same military pay. Wasn't this a good thing?
The sky gradually darkened, and the forest fell into slumber, but the gem palace was still very bright. In everyone's minds, the prince was about to be tortured by the dragon.
The candles in the room emitted a warm light. Ji Zhaoxi's hair was messily scattered on the wool blanket. Her fair skin was in sharp contrast to her black hair. Seeing this scene, Celeste's eyes turned red, and he even held his breath for a moment.
"Miss Dragon, it's time for you to torture me..."
Celeste lay in her arms, and his fiery kisses landed on her body one after another. She could only let out a series of broken sobs.
Her body couldn't stop trembling with his kisses, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
"Celeste, that's enough..." Her voice was tinged with a sob.
The scattered red marks on the skin were shocking.
His hands, covered with thin calluses, forcefully intertwined with hers, their fingers locking together.
Seeing her in tears, Celeste gently picked her up. While kissing her, he comforted her, "Miss Dragon, in the dragon's secret history, dragons become powerful through repeated training. Don't you want to be a really powerful dragon?"
Surrounded by crystal mirrors, every time lightning flashed outside the window, the reflections of the two of them instantly appeared in the mirrors.
Her snow - white back was covered with hickies, and their hair was tangled messily around them. And there were those pair of dragon horns as red as blood.
Celeste carried her to the crystal mirror and kissed her neck, slowly moving down.
"Don't... don't look at the mirror..." She buried her face tightly in his shoulder and sobbed softly.
Her voice was intermittent, and she kept refusing with her words. However, her dragon horns were honestly rubbing against Celeste's chest, which was covered with scratches. It was incredibly cute.
Celeste supported the back of her thighs, his voice extremely hoarse. "Why not look? Didn't Miss Dragon say she wanted to punish me... "
It was she who learned the punitive moves from the dragon's secret history and said she would use them on him one by one. But now, it was still her who was crying.
Ji Zhaoxi's ears were extremely red. She took a hard bite on his neck, and her breathing had completely turned into an out - of - tune cry.
"Celeste, you bastard. You're not as obedient as you seem..."
She said she wanted to punish him, and he carried it out. Then why didn't he stop now when she told him to...
Celeste lay on her ear, licking her tears while tightening his grip on her waist. Looking at the girl who was completely possessed by him in the mirror, he let out a satisfied gasp.
From time to time, thunder roared outside, the wind howled, and the rain pounded against the walls of the crystal palace. It was a long time before the heavy rain finally stopped.
Celeste held Ji Zhaoxi, who was so exhausted that she had closed her eyes. His hand gently stroked her trembling back. He carried her into the warm steam and tenderly cleaned her body.
"Miss Dragon has made another progress. According to the dragon's secret history, Miss Dragon's power will become even stronger."
Ji Zhaoxi didn't want to listen to him at all and kept silent.
Seeing her like this, Celeste smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
Ji Zhaoxi was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingertips.
She swore that tomorrow she must throw away that dragon's secret history!
It was clearly for dragons, but Celeste read it more seriously than she did.
Finally, the rain outside stopped. The clouds were gradually blown away by the wind, and the stars twinkled messily in the sky.
A few mischievous stars poked their heads into the crystal palace but were severely scolded by the moon beside them. The stars shrank back into the clouds dejectedly.
The two of them were nestled in the dark - colored blanket. Celeste held Ji Zhaoxi in his arms. His back was full of scratches, and Ji Zhaoxi was curled up in his arms, breathing steadily and long.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she murmured in a daze, "I haven't polished my gemstones yet..."
Celeste pressed his forehead against hers and hugged her even tighter. "I'll polish them when I get up tomorrow morning."
The morning after the rain was exceptionally clear. Dot Eyes, who had held back all night, began to sing at dawn. There were still raindrops hanging on the leaves, which occasionally dropped onto the grass.
Suddenly, a strange knock on the door echoed in the forest.
Celeste was still polishing the gems when Ji Zhaoxi opened the door with a sleepy look on her face. A man shivered in fear when he saw her.
"Hello, Miss Dragon. May I ask if the lettuce outside the palace belongs to you? We saw the lettuce at the door... My wife is dying to have a taste of it. If she doesn't get a bite, she'll pass away..."
Ji Zhaoxi was taken aback for a moment and then nodded.
The man was so touched that he burst into tears. "Thank you, Miss Dragon."
What a kind dragon Miss Dragon was! He had thought she wouldn't give away the lettuce so easily.
Hearing the noise, Celeste walked to the door and lazily leaned on her shoulder. Looking at the lettuce outside, he asked, "Does Miss Dragon want to have lettuce today?"
"Yes!"
Celeste let out a soft laugh and kissed her hand. "Got it. I'll cook it later."
Providing delicious food for Miss Dragon was also a servant's duty.
After last night's heavy rain, the lettuce leaves weren't damaged. On the contrary, each leaf was washed spot - less. The sunlight shone on the lettuce, and the water on the leaves sparkled with tiny golden lights.
After the door of the crystal palace was closed, a rabbit suddenly jumped out from behind the tree. It cautiously glanced at the door and took a big bite of the tender heart of the lettuce.
After finishing the bite, it immediately hopped away.
If Miss Dragon asked about it, it would shift the blame onto Dot Eyes...
