"As you wish."
The man moved forward, step by step disappearing into the wilderness.
"Aren’t you being too cold? After all, that’s a Golden Dragon. Aren’t you planning to give him even a little chance?"
A woman who looked to be about the sa age as Agnes wrapped her arm around Agnes’s and gazed in the direction the young Golden Dragon had disappeared, half-joking and half-curious.
"Do you know how old he is?"
"How old can he be? He’s still a young dragon, isn’t he?"
"He’s almost an adult."
"So you think he’s too old, huh!"
The woman with smooth silver hair burst into laughter,
"So you’re planning to go for a juvenile dragon younger than you?"
"What are you talking about? That guy is just in the juvenile dragon age range, but in terms of actual age, he’s not much younger than us."
Agnes joked around with her friend.
"But he doesn’t seem to have any feelings for you right now!"
The Silver Dragon reminded her friend amidst their play fighting.
"Probably because he’s not of age yet. I figure he’s really not into that kind of thing yet."
Agnes’s guess was the sa as the young Golden Dragon’s earlier reminder.
But it was sothing she already knew. Having a fellow co and educate her again in such a high and mighty manner made it hard for her not to get annoyed.
"Then you’ll just have to wait until he reaches the right age. But how long will that take?"
"I don’t know, maybe another ten or twenty years. Even a true Ancestor Dragon would take that long."
"You’re that determined? Does it have to be this Noah fellow?"
"Not necessarily. As long as you can find another Ancestor Dragon around my age, with his own territory and an army of no fewer than 300 Cloud Giants, I can give up."
"Are you dreaming? Where are you going to find another dragon like that?"
"So, what’s wrong with waiting a little?"
"But what you said makes tempted too. I wonder if this Noah fellow has any requirents for choosing a mate?"
"He’s a Golden Dragon!"
Seeing her friend’s interest, Golden Dragon Agnes reminded loudly.
"But I’m a Silver Dragon! There are so many examples of Golden and Silver Dragons becoming couples, what difference does one more make?"
The Silver Dragon Annabelle said nonchalantly.
"?"
Agnes widened her eyes, looking at her close friend, as if she heard the sound of friendship shattering.
"I’m the most suitable Golden Dragon partner for him."
"That’s because you’re the only female Golden Dragon here!"
Hearing her friend emphasize the pronunciation of ’Golden Dragon’, Annabelle laughed playfully,
"But there are also many female dragons here without mates."
"Anna!"
"Hmm? Why are they fighting?"
Just about to return to the mountains, Noah turned around to see one gold and one silver dragon entwined, soaring into the clouds. He couldn’t help but be curious.
However, after watching for a while, Noah didn’t mind, because although the fight appeared intense, it was actually just play-fighting, with no real conflict, more like having fun.
"Do you know why they’re fighting?"
Noah’s adoptive mother’s figure appeared beside him, and twisting his head to look, he couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark,
"You’re already so busy with your true form, and you still make a doppelgänger to watch the excitent?"
"Entertaining oneself while working hard keeps the spirit lively, there’s no conflict there."
Selena’s doppelgänger shrugged,
"Guess why these two female dragons are fighting?"
"They’re not fighting, they’re playing."
Noah corrected.
"For you tallic dragons, this is already how conflicts show themselves. Otherwise, would you present your true form and entwine with another of your kind like this?"
"I would."
"Little Noah, it seems you’ve neglected your charm to those young female giant dragons?"
Hearing Noah’s firm answer, Selena covered her forehead, appearing quite helpless.
"You an it’s because of ?"
"What other reason would there be for young female giant dragons in this age range to have conflicts besides a remarkable male?"
"Beautiful gemstones, mountains of treasure, differing ideologies, and clashes over each other’s sense of justice..."
"Young dragons only clash over the first two reasons you ntioned. The rest only happen to older dragons."
The tallic Dragon Race pursues justice, but justice is actually a very subjective concept. Because of this, even amongst the tallic Dragon Race, fierce slaughters and battles occur.
There was once a famous war case due to differing ideologies—three dragons, a Bronze Dragon, a Red Copper Dragon, and a Gold Dragon—all beca Ancient Dragons, ruling their own countries, waging a war that lasted hundreds of years non-stop. Each believed they adhered to the just and correct path.
However, for young dragons, this is a very distant matter that Noah simply recalls briefly before dismissing.
"Little Noah, you have everything young dragons desire, whether it’s vast territory, a powerful Favored army, or towering piles of treasure that would astonish even an old dragon.
You possess everything they aspire to, the only thing you lack is a mate compatible with you. In such a case, naturally, many female dragons would want to be your one and only; can’t you see that?"
"A dragon’s property is private and sacredly inviolable. Even if I find a mate in the future, my assets remain mine and won’t belong to them."
Noah’s tone was especially serious.
Among the Dragon Clan, property division is particularly strict, especially among the tallic Dragon Race, where even intimate spouses do not share assets, with the ownership down to the smallest copper coin being very clear.
"Of course, but they can have a higher starting point, benefit from your influence and assistance in power, and quicker accumulate their own wealth and obtain what they desire."
"I see!"
Noah lowered his head and pondered, and then he had to admit his adoptive mother’s reminder was spot on and sothing he hadn’t considered,
"You’re very right."
"If you don’t co up with a solution soon, the trouble might quickly involve you, especially with the gatherings you frequently hold, which will attract more single female dragons to you."
"Aunt, do you have any advice?"
Noah humbly sought advice from soone experienced.
"The simplest and direct thod is to select the strongest female you know to beco your partner, then she’ll deal with all the females pining for you, and you won’t have to worry about anything else; just focus on dealing with her."
"But I have no intention of finding a partner right now. I don’t want to rashly decide my future mate. Maybe you think I’ll have multiple mates in the future, but I currently don’t have that thought."
Noah shook his head.
"If that’s the case, then put a little more thought into it. Didn’t you establish an academy? Its scale is quite large, so why not set up so positions?"
"And then?"
Noah actually already knew.
"Naturally, select the most outstanding few from the female dragons with intentions towards you, assign them positions, and they will check each other.
Although it might bring you so trouble, it will also relieve you of many things; you may not even need to appear frequently, they will manage everything for you."
"This sounds..."
Noah’s finely scaled eyelids twitched a little.
"If you take this approach, it might affect your reputation sowhat, but I don’t see any problem. For the Dragon Clan, this should be very positive."
