Dragon Island’s Dragon Team, Serena’s Ambition (2)

Because Ji Chen had been overly generous.

Ji Chen would cover the substantial commission for hundreds of dragons from the profits of the Gloria Elf Treasury. Even just the portion allocated to Ji Chen amounted to an astronomical sum, based on their estimate of Gloria’s wealth.

Facing such a generous reward, a sum that could allow one to hide in their comfortable nest for decades or even centuries, Dragon Island and the dragons readily agreed to these terms.

In the days that followed, dozens or even hundreds of dragons arrived daily from all directions, their majestic presence and echoing roars filling the air across the sea.

The residents of the Ocean Crown and other outsiders were truly amazed; they had never seen such a large gathering of dragons in one place before.

But these dragons, contrary to the impression of dominance and arrogance they left, each obediently headed to rest in the northwest jungle of the main island, which made the residents feel a sense of pride.

The fact that such powerful creatures as dragons were behaving so obediently here seemed to demonstrate the strength of their territory.

It was precisely because of their wise Lord that these dragons could be deterred!

Unconsciously, the residents became even more respectful towards Ji Chen, and fervent emotions permeated the air, seemingly devoid of fear of the demon invasion.

“Ding- The approval rating of the territory residents has increased, and the popularity has risen.”

Ji Chen looked at this system prompt, feeling a bit puzzled.

Why hadn’t he noticed the rise in popularity?

The popularity of the Ocean Crown had been stuck at 99 points for some time now, and he hadn’t been able to find a way to raise that last point, as if the system were intentionally keeping it stuck.

But there was another possibility: this one point of popularity was restricted by something, and that restriction needed to be lifted before it could be increased. Otherwise, it would remain stuck at 99 points forever.

“Lord Ji Chen, is everything alright?”

The voice brought Ji Chen back to reality, and he looked at Serena sitting across the table, smiling gently and shaking his head, “Nothing, let’s continue eating.”

Serena pondered for a moment, set down her utensils, and said, “If you are worried that we, Dragon Island, will not do our best to resist the demons, then you are worrying too much.

Although we are mercenaries hired for commissions, deep down, we still have the pride and honor of being dragons. We will not easily violate contracts.

Moreover, we are not simply here to make money. The demon invasion is a major event for the entire world. We, the dragons of Dragon Island, naturally cannot stand aside. It just so happened that you found us, so we came to your aid and contributed our strength to resist the demons.”

Ji Chen showed no surprise at this explanation, shrugged, and said, “It seems that no matter what, you still have to earn some money to feel at ease.”

Serena was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently.

Ji Chen also set down his utensils and curiously asked, “So Serena, can you tell me why you suddenly wanted to have dinner alone with me?”

Serena pursed her lips and said, “Can’t I have dinner with you without any reason?”

Ji Chen clearly didn’t believe this answer. If there weren’t any other purposes or matters, how could this humanoid dragon be so… gentle?

Upon closer inspection.

Compared to the majestic figure adorned in white scales on the day of arrival, Serena, who was now sitting across the round table, was wearing a white silk court dress. A belt embroidered with dragon patterns using golden threads outlined her stunning curves. Her long, snow-white hair was tied halfway with a hairband decorated with silver needles, elegantly draped over her right chest.

Shifting his gaze, beneath the cool and stunning visage was a neck as graceful as a swan’s, followed by vast expanses of milky-white skin, and further below, nestled between the peaks and valleys admired by countless beings, lay a depth hidden beneath the courtly gown.

At first sight of Serena’s appearance, Ji Chen was almost scared out of his wits.

What could have happened to turn a humanoid dragon into such a charming dragon maiden?

Seeing Serena like this, Ji Chen could only shake his head helplessly. Well, since there’s nothing else to do, might as well just eat.

Little did he expect that this white-haired, red-eyed dragon lady from Dragon Island wouldn’t give him any time to relax. With another glance, she spoke again, “Lord Ji Chen, do you know whether offspring can be successfully born from the union between dragons and humans?”

Ji Chen was taken aback for a moment, not immediately understanding why she was asking this, but still thought for a moment before responding.

“It’s probably unlikely for offspring to be born.”

“Indeed.” Serena nodded, her strands of hair swaying gently. “According to the bloodline memories of the Orderly Dragons of Dragon Island, when a human-form dragon mates with a human, in most cases, nothing happens.

Because the dragon’s bloodline contains too much powerful energy, whether it’s a female dragon and a human male, or a male dragon and a human female, most of the energy required to produce offspring will be destroyed by the power of the bloodline, becoming meaningless material.”

“What if the human bloodline is equally powerful, not inferior to the dragon bloodline?”

Serena picked up the napkin on the table, gently nibbled at it, and said, “This situation is also recorded in the bloodline memories. Thousands of years ago, there was indeed a legendary-tier female dragon from Dragon Island who fell in love with a human male hero of the same legendary status. The two produced offspring.

At birth, the offspring appeared in human form, but with dragon-like features on their heads.”

Ji Chen became interested and asked further, “Then what about their potential?”

He enjoyed hearing rumors about the offspring of a legendary-tier female dragon and a legendary-tier human hero.

Serena straightened up a bit, making her chest appear even more prominent, her face solemn.

“The child was a legacy tier hero unit since birth, with the potential to reach the epic tier.”

Wow, isn’t this just 1+1>2?

Two legendary tiers combined to become an epic tier.

“Based on our long-term research, we have come to a general conclusion that the younger the high-bloodline dragon, and the younger the legendary or higher-tier human hero, the easier it is to produce powerful half-dragon offspring.”

Serena leaned forward, her pupils flashing with inexplicable emotions.

“Lord Ji Chen, I am currently the youngest generation of dragons on Dragon Island, with strength and bloodline among the top females of many dragons. And you, achieving the epic tier at such a young age, with noble bloodlines that are difficult to fathom…

If we were to mate, we would surely give birth to the most powerful half-dragon offspring in history, and even contend for the position of the next Dragon Emperor.”

Ji Chen was completely stunned, caught off guard by her words.

“…Do you know what you’re saying?”

Serena leaned back in her chair, calm. “Of course I do. This is the best choice considering the birth of offspring from bloodlines. However, we also need to consider the willingness of both parties. After all, I can’t give birth to offspring alone.”

Ji Chen was speechless.

Sighing, Ji Chen found this situation quite troublesome. “Are all of your dragons so… straightforward?”

“Of course. Dragons despise the weak, respect the strong, and take what they want. My mother was taken by my father as a mate,” Serena said indifferently, “But I can’t beat you, so I’m sitting down to discuss with you.”

If I were weaker than you, wouldn’t I be taken forcefully?

No, if I were weaker than her, I wouldn’t be targeted like this.

For a moment, Ji Chen felt embarrassed by the thought.

“Lord Ji Chen, whenever you’re ready to decide, just come to me. I’ll be here waiting,” Serena said with a smile. “But don’t take too long to decide. Human lives are short, their prime moments fleeting, and their bloodlines weaken quickly with age. Delaying too much might mean missing out on the chance to produce the best offspring.”

“So, you have to act quickly!” she said earnestly at last.

Ji Chen was once again speechless.

Watching this dragon maiden speaking so persistently about giving birth to offspring, perhaps Dragon Island was also concerned about the fertility rate of dragons now, otherwise they wouldn’t let Serena develop such a strong urge.

He couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, “Wow..1
