Valentina narrowed her eyes and snorted, loosening her hand and letting go of the shameless paladin.
She leaned on the railing, looking cautiously at the white-haired boy who was leaning leisurely against the railing, looking him up and down.
Although she is not considered smart, as an abandoned cub who was driven out of the nest by her parents at an early age, she has been able to live to this age successfully. Of course, she has her own ways.
Just relying on luck—cough!
You are wrong.
Valentina relied entirely on the instinctive intuition in her bloodline to seek benefits and avoid harm, and to turn danger into safety!
If there is fatal danger, run away; if there is no fatal danger, go ahead.
The main theme is the brutal policy of "If you can't kill me, I will kill you!"
However, this instinct does not always work well and there are times when it makes mistakes.
For example, when she first met the Archbishop of the Mist, Valentina did not feel any fatal threat.
She thought he was just an old man that could be seen everywhere. After trying to drive him away several times without success, she was so angry that she wanted to use a breath of dragon to spray him into a dead old man.
And then... she was beaten.
In the face of true power, Valentina had no ability to fight back at all and became a punching bag that only knew how to take beatings.
Of course, it is hard to say that Valentina’s intuition was inaccurate—after all, judging from the results, she was indeed not dead.
Archbishop Misty had no intention of killing her, and Valentina only suffered some minor injuries that were not incurable.
Poor Miss Dragon was beaten up and thrown into the alien prison to be blocked by the old man.
Regardless of the process, let's just say whether her intuition is accurate or not.
Let me just ask you whether you are alive or not
alive.
But sometimes, living is really more painful than dying!
Being locked up in a foreign prison, you really can't die even if you want to, and you can't get food either.
The only thing left to do besides sleeping is to explore one's own abilities.
Although Valentina has been imprisoned in this dark cell and seems to be in a bad state, she has actually been constantly strengthening her abilities.
On the one hand, it is to avoid making the same mistake again in the future, and on the other hand, it is because there is really nothing else to do besides this.
The reason why Valentina took the initiative to talk to Herbert that day was because she had a strange premonition at that time - if she talked to him at that time, perhaps there would be some new opportunities.
And now... Miss Hungry Dragon smelled a lie from Herbert!
Something is wrong, there must be something fishy going on.
This guy must be hiding something from me again!
"So, what is the truth? What do you want to say to me?"
Valentina stared at Herbert, and even when he turned his head to look back, she stared back without giving in.
Hey!
You must tell me the truth today!
Seeing how persistent she was, Herbert knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying, "Tsk... That's why I hate kids with sharp intuition."
"Well, since you insist on doing this, I'll tell you."
He emphasized again with a serious look:
"I want to make this clear. You forced me to say this. Don't blame me later."
"I was thinking of bringing it up when the atmosphere is better..."
Um
Looking at him like this, Valentina suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
wrong…
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
"No wait~"
Herbert turned around and grabbed Valentina's hand as she tried to pull it back.
! !
"Valentina, ever since the day we met, I've always had something in my heart that I wanted to tell you..."
The handsome boy looked at her affectionately with his light grey eyes. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, but it all turned into determination in the end.
"I don't know if this request will offend, but I really don't want to put up with someone like this any longer."
Valentina:
You, what are you going to do
At this moment, Valentina could still forcefully pull her hand back, but doing so would inevitably hurt Herbert, which made her hesitate for a moment.
But she didn't know.
In a battle between masters, this moment of hesitation is the moment of defeat.
Herbert took a deep breath, held Valentina's hand tightly with both hands to prevent her from escaping, and said seriously:
"Although it may be a little inappropriate, I sincerely hope that you can agree to my somewhat excessive request."
"you… "
At this moment, time slowed down in Valentina's eyes, and she could clearly hear the powerful beating in her chest.
Boom boom!
How could Valentina, who had been alone all her life and had never been interested in men, have ever experienced such a situation
She looked into those charming eyes, felt the warmth from his palm, and coupled with the scent on his body that had always tempted her, the whole dragon was stunned.
"Uh, uh uh, you, uh..."
Not to mention answering, my mind went blank. The intuition that I had trained for hundreds of years was completely useless at this moment.
I can't remember anything, only a head full of messy thoughts.
What does he want to say
Is he courting me
Well!
Should I agree to him
I, we don’t seem to be that familiar with each other yet
There shouldn’t be any!
I, I, I… No!
Although this situation is a bit special, although Valentina is not smart enough, and although the object is really good-looking!
But she was not so naive as to be bewitched and give her body to someone just because of a few lies.
She's really not that stupid.
After all, the emotional foundation between the two people is too weak.
Then, just as Valentina was about to make up her mind to reject Herbert, she heard the second half of the conversation:
"Can you let me... touch your tail?"
He has spoken out, so we must reject him quickly!
"Well, even though you look great and smell great, we can't - huh?"
Um
Um!!
Chapter 37 This is my attack route! (Please read on!)
"… What did you say?"
Valentina, who was nervously speaking at high speed, froze in the middle of her speech, blinked, and stared blankly at the "suitor" who was so close to her.
Um
It seems like something is wrong
The boy loosened one hand, scratched his head shyly, and coughed lightly: "Ahem! Um, I ask, can you let me touch your tail?"
In an instant, all the charm and ambiguity disappeared, and Valentina's mind became extremely clear at this moment.
Her eyes were clear, she looked at Herbert steadily, and repeated slowly: "... Tail?"
"Yes! It's the tail! I've always been curious about what a dragon's tail looks like!"
Herbert shook her hand and said excitedly, "You must have a half-human, half-dragon form, right? How about changing it?"
Valentina's expression gradually twisted, but Herbert continued to speak excitedly: "Although it's a bit offensive, I'm really curious!"
Tail…
Tail.
Tail!!
"… "
Valentina lowered her head slowly, remembering what Herbert had said not long ago—something offensive, an excessive request, something she had wanted to do since they first met.
"hehe."
Yeah, he didn't say what it was exactly.
It's obvious that I was overthinking it.
It's all mine... Is it my fault?!
Pop.
Along with a slight sound in his mind, the anger that had been suppressed by the Fury suddenly erupted at this moment.
"Herbert!"
Miss Hungry Dragon revealed her true face as an evil dragon, staring with wide eyes at the boy who was covering his ears and laughing at her.
"How dare you play tricks on me!!!"
Damn it, are you kidding me!
Herbert, who was well prepared for the consequences of his own suicide, had retreated before she exploded, but even so, he was still a little embarrassed at the moment.
The distance between the two was still too close, and the sound waves made him feel a little dazed.
This is the price of being naughty.
But if he had the chance next time, he thought he would do it again.
Because it’s really fun to be naughty.
It's fun to commit suicide for a while, it's fun to commit suicide all the time!
"Oh, if you don't want me to touch you, then don't touch me! Why are you so excited?"
Herbert smiled and winked at her, then asked happily, "How is it? Are you moved? I think my acting skills are pretty good."
"… you!!?"
Valentina: ! !
This guy really did it on purpose!
"You damned fellow! Aren't you a Paladin?! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?!"
Valentina's defense was completely broken. She shook the railing vigorously, wishing she could tear the door down and rush over to bite this guy to death.
She bit the railing in frustration, her eyes seemed to be burning with fire as she glared at Herbert.
