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

Is this the vacation spot of Lord Lance and the little dragon prince?

How lovely, the blue sky, white clouds, the beach, the sea...

Beach chairs are spaced out on the beach for people to relax, shaded by umbrellas, and the small tables beside them are laid with various juices and fruits.

There's a little girl chasing the waves on the beach, and she is covered in tentacles.

???

Tentacles?

A little girl covered in tentacles?

Isn't she that caterpillar girl that Lord Lance put in the bag the other day?

No good, she's not a caterpillar girl... she's a squid lady from the sea...

In the distance, there are pedestrians coming and going on the beach, dressed very lightly.

This must be that legendary picturesque seaside town.

Joanna, the daughter of the city lord's mansion, is green with envy, her vacations never extend beyond the royal capital.

The little dragon prince's vacations... involve traveling abroad...

Their Norde Kingdom is a landlocked country, with no seaport, though there is a water city...

"Little dragon prince, where in which kingdom's seaside town are you and Lord Lance vacationing? This place is really beautiful."

???

Vacationing in a seaside town?

The young dragon, who had shrunk to about one and a half meters tall, was just about to say she was playing in the territory of the Evil... Lance's lands...

But an inadvertent glance up had her startled to find the surroundings had inexplicably changed.

The dragon nest, the orchard, the vegetable and corn fields as well as those random things on Dragon Island had all disappeared.

In their place stood rows of exquisite white and blue villas.

The beach also appeared different.

At some point, more pedestrians had appeared on the beach, and those people were chatting and laughing in the distance, both men and women.

And there were dogs frolicking and rolling in the sand.

Beach chairs, juices, and umbrellas had also abruptly appeared on the beach.

An illusion?

Definitely!

The Evil Dragon probably didn't want Joanna to discover his real identity, so he created this half-real, half-fake vacation paradise.

How was it done?

How can the Evil Dragon create illusions?

While the young dragon was perplexed, Lance was already lying on a beach chair not far away, sipping juice and enjoying his first vacation with a whelp.

The drastic environmental change on the island came about because he had activated a scroll.

Giving the scroll supernatural power was an idea he got while studying cards in his spare time.

If cards can become superhuman items, why couldn't his paintings as well?

Combining the features of the cards with the illusion techniques he mastered, he spent nearly ten years and some specially textured paper to turn his paintings into extraordinary items.

The current semi-real "Seaside Town" is one of his extraordinary scrolls that, once unfolded, merged with the surrounding environment to create a half real, half illusory world.

Simply put, Joanna, the dragon whelp, and himself were half in reality, half in the painted world.

Joanna, being a commoner, couldn't notice; the scroll was more than enough to shield her senses.

If the dragon whelp hadn't spent time on the island, she might not have noticed when the scroll was unfurled either.

The extraordinary scroll was still not perfect.

In Lance's vision, the moment his extraordinary scroll unfolded, it would seal away powerful foes within.

Or the scroll would unfurl to create a realm of its own, making those who entered believe it was a real world.

To advance the extraordinary scroll into an exceptional magic artifact...

...not only required his cultivation capabilities, but also the use of various high-grade extraordinary materials.

The scroll he was using now was made from average material—it was fine for shielding the senses of ordinary people, but a slightly powerful being with supernatural abilities would quickly realize they were in a partly false environment.

His scroll wasn't a combat type but purely a landscape scroll.

Suitable for enjoyment.

Joanna kicked off her shoes, grabbed the dragon whelp's claw, and frolicked on the beach, occasionally scooping up a handful of sand and flinging it at the young dragon.

At that moment, the young dragon would swing its tail back and forth, using it to sweep sand from the beach as a counterattack.

Soon Joanna's hair and face were covered with fine sand.

"Little dragon prince... let's not play with sand anymore... let's have a water fight..."

"Let's go to the shallows then, don't go into the deep water."

"Okay."

The young dragon and Joanna ran into the sea, stepping on the damp sand, and began a water fight, with Joanna's clothes quickly getting soaked.

The squid woman, amusing herself nearby, seeing the Black Dragon Family's whelp and the adorable little human having so much fun, couldn't resist and stealthily swam into the sea, approaching the area where the young dragon and Joanna were frolicking, and suddenly stuck out her head, spraying them with a burst of seawater.

Unprepared, they... got a face full of seawater from the squid woman...

Joanna was dumbfounded; she couldn't comprehend... how a squid lady's tiny mouth... could spray so much water?

The seawater that sprayed onto her face... was almost like giving her a bath...

The young dragon reacted quickly, immediately using her dragon tail to slap back at the seawater in retaliation, and the squid lady who was smirking drank a mouthful of the seawater that the young dragon had slapped over.

The squid lady wiped her face with a tentacle, dove into the sea, sucked in some seawater, resurfaced, and then spit out another mouthful of seawater in an attack on the young dragon and Joanna.

This time, the volume of seawater was too much and washed the young dragon and Joanna up onto the beach....

Joanna was close to tears, for she had never imagined that one day she would be bullied by a tentacle lady from the sea....

"Your Highness the little dragon, it seems like we can't out-spray the tentacle lady...."

"If she can spray, so can I, watch this!"

The young dragon got up, rushed into the sea, gulped down a mouthful of seawater, and sprayed it right back at the squid lady, hitting her squarely in the face.

The squid lady countered by drinking seawater and spraying it out... each time managing to wash the young dragon back onto the beach.

After repeating this a dozen times or so, the squid lady felt that bullying the dragon whelps of the Black Dragon Family and that little person was no fun. She noticed Black Dragon lying on a lounge chair with sunglasses, sleeping.

She dove into the sea and swam towards where Black Dragon was. When she reached his spot, the water she sprayed out was like a river, and with a whoosh, knocked Black Dragon right off his lounge chair....

Hit and run after wreaking havoc, bullying the dragon whelps of the Black Dragon family was as easy as picking on kids, but bullying Black Dragon... he might get beaten up once Black Dragon reacted....

Hehe... time to make a swift exit....

Black Dragon got up with his sunglasses on and chased after her into the sea. Did she think she could get away with a sneak attack?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No such luck.

On the beach, the young dragon and Joanna saw the scene of Evil Dragon Lance and the tentacle lady fighting in the sea.

Evil Dragon Lance pressed the tentacle lady's head into the sea, but she broke free and then used her tentacles to press Evil Dragon down.

The tentacle lady swung her tentacles to hit Evil Dragon.

Evil Dragon swung his fists to hit the tentacle lady.

The young dragon watched for a while, then covered her face with her dragon claw.

An evil dragon and a deep sea siren... Why did their fighting look so childish?

Joanna was stunned....

Lord Lance, who usually seemed mature and composed... was now fighting naughtily with so much energy....

She had to be a good girl, or else what would she do if Lord Lance decided to punish her in the future?

"Your Highness the little dragon... may I ask a question?"

"What question?"

"Has Lord Lance... ever beaten you up?"

"He beats me up all the time."

"Are you a naughty little dragon?"

"???"

Getting beaten up didn't mean she was a naughty little dragon.

What kind of logic was that?

The young dragon mentally criticized Joanna.

"They're still fighting, Your Highness the little dragon... aren't you going to separate them?"

"You want me to go there and get beaten up by both of them?"

"???"

"Let's go, we'll sunbathe. I'll apply some sunscreen on you first, and you help me take care of my dragon scales. The sunscreen can whiten and protect the skin. Later tonight, when you go back, I'll give you a few bottles. It smells really nice and fragrant. It's blended by Lance, everything he makes is great."

"Okay."

The young dragon went to apply sunscreen on Joanna. Her skin... was much worse than that of this princess, but after Joanna used the whitening skincare oils compounded and refined by Evil Dragon, her skin was sure to improve.

After applying the sunscreen, Joanna changed into dry clothes and started taking care of the young dragon's scales.

The dragon scales, like purple sapphires, were truly beautiful.

Smooth bald head, it felt incredibly good to touch.

Ah?

Had she forgotten something?

She seemed to remember she had something to tell Lord Lance.

After playing for a while... how could she forget?

She needed to think hard, it was something important.

Yesterday the Temple Archbishop had asked her to visit the temple... then...

She remembered!!!

The Fat Bishop from the Valkyrie Temple seemed to have asked her to pass a message to Lord Lance the next time she saw him... to please return the Valkyrie statue to them....

Wasn't the Valkyrie statue transformed into that sacred painting?

But listening to the Fat Bishop, it seemed... as if Lord Lance had stolen... replaced the Valkyrie statue from the temple?

Just at that moment, Lance walked over.

"Lord Lance, the Fat Bishop from the Valkyrie Temple entrusted me with a message for you."

"What message?"

"The Fat Bishop said... did you perhaps forget to return the Valkyrie statue?"
