106: Chapter 106: A Word Awakens the Dreamer 106: Chapter 106: A Word Awakens the Dreamer As a True Dragon of orthodox lineage, Tassera had a rather loose sense of time, but she was very patient.

Though she could have swiftly traveled around the world in her Dragon Form by flying, she preferred spending multiple times longer, sometimes even tenfold, traveling by carriage, ship, or even on foot just to enjoy the scenery and cultures along the way.

However, under special circumstances, she could move very quickly.

For instance, after spending a month discussing with a Female Dwarf Mage and gaining significant insights into Summoning Magic, she was eager to return home to experiment.

After leaving Crossroads City, she resumed her Dragon Form and flew, reaching the desert in just half a day.

The Brass Dragon spotted the Blue Dragon flying across the sky, and upon a closer look, recognized it was Tassera and promptly chased after her.

“Tassera, you’re finally back.” The Brass Dragon didn’t like Blue Dragons but didn’t dislike Tassera; after all, they had been business partners for so long.

Besides, Tassera, as a Storage Dragon engrossed in spells and various kinds of knowledge, didn’t have as much time to engage in misdeeds.

“Eggon…

do you need something from me?” Tassera knew the Brass Dragon had little regard for her and normally preferred conversing with Leon.

Although Red Dragons were even more malevolent and Leon was slightly different, he definitely wouldn’t bother her for no reason.

“Do you know Rocas, the Rocas of Day Shadow?” The Brass Dragon was unaware that Leon had already fought with the Blue Dragon, and by now, that confrontation might have already concluded.

“I know…

that fool, he’s here again?” Tassera said, “I’ll go talk to him.”

Tassera was eager to return home to seclude herself for cultivation, but she knew she must handle all these messy affairs first.

Otherwise, any disturbance during her seclusion would definitely throw her into a frenzy.

Without resting for a moment, Tassera immediately turned towards Crystal Mountain, easily locating the now blemished Crystal Mountain, which had lost all its aesthetic appeal.

Tassera didn’t pause and located the entrance to Rocas’s lair, only to find it in complete disarray…

Had someone pillaged it?

If it had been raided, it wouldn’t look like this because any enemy intrusion into a Blue Dragon’s lair would definitely result in the lair’s collapse.

Her own lair was set up similarly, designed to collapse automatically if anyone ventured too deeply without permission.

Tassera roared and after waiting a few minutes without any sign of Rocas, growing impatient, she toyed with the thought of pillaging the lair herself—it would collapse anyway, and she could just dig her way out…

That was just a thought, of course.

Unless they were from rival clans, stirring trouble in front of the Overlord was not a good look, and most importantly, she didn’t want any connection with Rocas, whether as friends or foes.

“I already let you go, and you dare to return.” Rocas finally emerged from the lair, his voice preceding him, and stopped short upon spotting Tassera.

“Tassera…

why are you here?” Rocas asked puzzlingly.

He had resigned to giving up, but the sight of the desert’s blue gemstones had rekindled a fire in him.

“I heard that someone…

chopped off your horn?” Tassera noticed the absence of Rocas’s sharp unique horn, which he had been trying to sharpen again, but evidently, there wasn’t enough time.

“It accidentally got knocked.” Rocas kept his composure.

“Heh, I believe you, it must have been accidently knocked off during a fall,” Tassera looked around exaggeratedly, “Certainly not chopped off by a sword…

those crystals too, they must not have been lifted, but blown away by the wind, just like sand.”

Rocas could clearly detect the sarcasm in Tassera’s tone.

His expression alternating between brightness and gloom, he hesitated, then said loudly, “How do you know that rogue Red Dragon?”

“What rogue Red Dragon?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.” A thought flickered in Tassera’s mind, “Are you talking about Leon?”

“That guy’s name sounds awful,” Rocas said with disdain.

“On the contrary, I think it’s quite nice,” Tassera retorted.

Caught off guard by Tassera’s words, Rocas frowned and grumbled, “Everyone has different tastes; if you think it’s nice, then it must be…

but that Red Dragon is the most ferocious.”

“No, that’s not right,” Tassera shook her head, tilting her head while looking at Rocas unabashedly, not intimidated by the Blue Dragon’s larger size, “He’s the nicest and most stable Red Dragon I’ve ever met.

He just hates surprises and things that deviate from his plans…

You had a conflict?

It must be your fault.”

“I admit there might be a minor issue on my part…” Rocas, refusing to concede, continued to stir dissent, “But he definitely is a robber.

He stole my crystals…

be careful, he could rob you at any moment, emptying your treasure vault and wiping out decades of your hard work.”

“What are you talking about?” Tassera furrowed her brow slightly, “I’ve invited him to my lair, more than once.

If he were a robber, he would have robbed me by now, but he hasn’t…

he even gave me clothes; he is the most generous and open-handed Red Dragon I’ve ever met.”

This time, Rocas was genuinely baffled, muttering, “You even invited him to your lair?

I’ve never been.”

“Don’t say things that could be misconstrued,” Tassera said sternly, “We are just acquaintances.”

“Tell me what exactly happened?” Tassera suddenly fixed her gaze on Rocas, “You know I’m very smart, don’t try to deceive me; it will only worsen my impression of you.

I don’t like that.

You may think you’re clever, but in my eyes, it’s just petty cleverness, which is the most dangerous kind.”

Hesitating for a moment, Rocas finally recounted the whole story, leaving Tassera somewhat stunned.

Leon actually showed such respect for females, providing a different answer during male conflicts over a mate.

Besides, Leon seemed to have a bit of interest in her…

even if possessive, it also indicated affection.

Tassera thought seriously, Leon appeared as a teenage dragon, but from everyday interactions, he clearly had the temperament of an adult dragon, often glancing at girls’ chests and accustomed to thinking before acting…

He still had some youthful impulsiveness, or rather recklessness, like the time in Crossroads City when he simply killed a Vampire in a disagreement.

Rocas peeked at Tassera’s expression.

Tassera looked at Rocas with disdain and said irritably, “Leon is still a teenage dragon.”

“Anyway, I like young girls,” mumbled Rocas.

Tassera opened her mouth upon hearing Rocas’s words, then closed it again.

Rocas was not very good-looking to begin with, and now with a missing tip of his horn, he looked even uglier.

She would never choose such an individual as a mate, but the Red Dragon…

The scales of the Red Dragon were truly beautiful, though still in his teenage phase and not fully grown, they already exuded great charm.

Charm alone is not enough, however.

Without formidable power, one cannot survive in this cruel world.

The teenage Red Dragon possesses a physical stature comparable to that of a young dragon, and possesses strange and powerful strength from unknown origins, powerful enough to defeat an Efreeti…

and now also an Adult Blue Dragon, albeit just newly matured.

Tassera has seen powerful Red Dragons before.

Each time they came to mind, thoughts filled with destruction and slaughter, unbridled plunder, cruel revenge, and insatiable greed manifested, believing themselves superior to all other dragons, instantly draining her enthusiasm.

Leon was different, in fact, he felt more human than Red Dragon in character, valuing order over chaos, holding strong family values, refusing to let anyone insult his relatives, not treating females as mere objects like many Red Dragons do, one can tell from conversation…

self-proclaiming purity in love, but in reality, demanding unidirectional purity from females.

All in all, he was a Red Dragon beautiful like a Fairy, a Red Dragon with boundless potential and a stable temperament, except completely lacking any talent in magic, knowledgeable in many other aspects, probably unmatched across the entire Material Plane.

He is still a teenage dragon, just a few years till he grows up.

All dragons are greedy, looking to possess whatever they see as valuable.

Tassera is no exception; the Storage Dragon merely transfers her preferences for treasure to other domains.

Magic I want, astronomy, geography, humanities, history I want, treasures I want…

Kids make choices, adults want it all.

Tassera unconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked her teeth showing outside, noting that she had been a young dragon for a while now.

Such delicious fresh meat…

Once this opportunity is missed, it won’t come again.

Some things are just missing one opportunity, this is it.

Rocas, watching Tassera’s expression, vaguely guessed something, and recalled the bard’s words—Women are not uninitiated, just not initiated towards you.

…

…

Leon was unaware that having shown just a slight flaw, he was already under the scrutiny of a greedy and clever Evil Dragon, and had returned to Molten Lava Lake, not feeling sleepy yet, still studying the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method.

The theoretical basis of the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method is the Yin Yang Balance, perpetuating generation.

If one is missing, no life can arise.

This means a person alone cannot practice the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method; it requires a male and female pairing.

Different from many bedroom techniques that harvest yin to nourish yang, the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method seeks mutual cultivation and benefits for both genders.

The so-called cultivation partner in the realm of ‘Dharma, Wealth, and Companions’ is not about having many women at night, but choosing a spiritually compatible woman to cultivate towards immortality together.

“Please, I’m still a teenage dragon, isn’t it a bit early for you to give me the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method?”

For the first time, Leon wanted to swear at Golden Finger, thinking that he was still decades away from being a young dragon, and the key was where to find a suitable partner?

If any woman would do, three-legged toads would be hard to find…

but in this world, two-legged women are everywhere, as an Evil Dragon it’s only natural to demand a beautiful and pure maiden from a village.

Tassera?

The Blue Dragon is a young dragon, decades older than him, a teenage dragon; was it possible to make a small horse pull a big cart?

Women three years older, embrace a gold brick, women thirty years older, give rivers and mountains; women three hundred years older, bestow the Immortal Pill, women three thousand years older join the ranks of immortals.

Let’s talk about that affair later, first settle the Foundation Establishment, concentrate on the elixir field, balance and adjust various elements within the body to the best state, laying the foundation for future cultivation.

Things like preventing leakages and consolidating the essence, and even Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation leading to the achievement of the Golden Core, those are matters to consider later.

Really, everything was fine, and now it’s sprinting towards a strange direction.

Leon aims to be fiercely cool and powerful, even with a woman, holding a sword to kill in wakefulness, lying drunk on the beauty’s knees.

After idle thoughts for a moment, Leon still focused on Foundation Establishment, just starting, and discovered Tassera flying over.
