Chapter 28: The Second Legendary Appears! Human—I'm In Love With You!
????Bai Xuan returned to his room and peeled off the playful Sli Mask from his face.
??He’d already pieced together most of Liu Qian’s real identity—she was almost certainly an agent from the Baihai City Investigation Bureau, and not a junior one, either.
??At the very least, she was a mid-level investigator. Maybe even higher.
??Or perhaps...
??“Forget it. At least I’m sure she ans no harm,” Bai Xuan muttered, shaking his head to clear his thoughts. He set the matter aside and turned his attention to the Book of Worlds.
??【World Quest: Zombie Horde (Completed)】
??【Mission Reward: Character Setting—Invisibility (Blue), Significant Strength Attribute Increase!】
??【Invisibility (Blue): Grants the ability to beco transparent, but does not suppress sound or scent.】
??“Invisibility?”
??Bai Xuan’s eyebrows rose in surprise.
??Now that was a useful ability.
??【Add “Invisibility” Character Setting to yourself?】
??Yes.
??【Character Setting “Invisibility” has been added!】
??Bai Xuan glanced at his right hand. With a single thought, his entire hand faded into transparency.
??“Nice. Seriously nice.”
??He nodded, satisfied.
??And that wasn’t all—his Strength Attribute had leapt from D to C.
??A surge of power flooded his body, leaving him feeling invigorated and full of energy.
??“Master.”
??Serene’s voice floated over from the side. “The eggshell is starting to crack.”
??“Oh?”
??Bai Xuan turned to the Dragon Egg resting atop his desk.
??Its surface, as lustrous as a ruby, was now threaded with fine, splintering fissures.
??“It’s finally happening?”
??Excitent welled up in Bai Xuan’s chest. Was his second Legendary about to hatch at last?
??But…
??Would it really be a dragon hatchling?
??After all, Mare Alera’s status panel listed her age as “unknown.”
??While Bai Xuan pondered, the cracks on the Dragon Egg suddenly widened!
??A jagged fracture split outward from the center, an immaculate fault line cleaving the egg perfectly in two.
??And then—
??Crack!
??With a sharp snap, the top half of the shell shot outward—
??And, with codic precision, smacked Bai Xuan squarely on the forehead.
??“Ow!”
??He yelped, rubbing his throbbing brow as he glared at the fallen shell.
??But sothing was off. There was no sign of a hatchling inside the egg.
??He frowned.
??Empty?
??“Where’s the dragon? Where the hell did my dragon go?”
??Bai Xuan spun around, searching frantically for his Ruby Dragon.
??“Serene, help
look! There’s no way it’s just an empty egg!”
??He kept searching as he spoke, but Serene didn’t answer—she just watched him quietly.
??“…?”
??Bai Xuan shot her a puzzled look. “Serene? Why are you just staring at ?”
??Instead of replying, Serene simply pointed above his head.
??“…?”
??Bai Xuan looked up—and to his bewildernt, saw a pair of petite, snow-white feet dangling in the air right above him.
??“…?”
??He stumbled back a few paces and finally got a good look at the newcor—
??Floating there was a half-dragon girl, a mane of crimson hair cascading freely down her back. Behind her trailed a fiery red dragon tail, while a pair of dragon wings unfurled from her shoulders. Atop her head perched two delicate dragon horns.
??Hiss~
??So this is my second Legendary?
??But the little one kept her eyes closed, hovering serenely in midair as if still asleep.
??“Still sleeping?” Bai Xuan studied the dragon girl curiously.
??She was petite and delicate, but her chest was outrageously full—completely at odds with her size!
??Not quite as exaggerated as Serene’s, but still—those were so serious proportions.
??A loli with a rack? Bai Xuan mused.
??That’s...interesting.
??Her outfit was ford from crimson dragon scales, shaped into a suit of armor.
??Cool.
??Cool as hell.
??If only he could wear that kind of armor himself…
??Ahem.
??While Bai Xuan’s thoughts wandered, Mare Alera slowly opened her scarlet eyes.
??The instant her gaze landed on Bai Xuan, her lips curled into a smile she could barely contain, excitent sparkling in her eyes.
??“Human! I finally get to see you!”
??Before she’d even finished speaking, she flapped her wings and dove straight into Bai Xuan’s arms.
??She nuzzled enthusiastically against his chest, breathless with joy. “Human!”
??“Love you, love you, love you!”
??“Ahh~ I love how you sll~”
??“Ahh~ this is the best~”
??“Ahh~”
??...
??Faced with Mare Alera’s wild enthusiasm, Bai Xuan was completely at a loss.
??Still, if this was the effect of 【Head Over Heels for You】, it made sense.
??“Alright, alright, little Mare, calm down—”
??He didn’t even finish before Mare Alera tackled him onto the bed.
??“Ahh~”
??“Human~”
??“You sll so good~”
??...?
??Wait, what?
??Bai Xuan froze at her last words.
??Sothing’s off with this girl!
??“You little… you’re not planning to eat , are you?” he asked, half-joking, half-nervous.
??“No, no!” Mare Alera shook her head vigorously. “Human! I love you most of all! Why would I ever eat you?”
??“If it weren’t for you, I’d have been trapped in that egg forever!”
??“You’re my savior!”
??“My favorite person in the world~”
??She rubbed her cheek tenderly against his chest as she spoke.
??“Trapped in the egg forever?” Bai Xuan frowned. Was Mare Alera sealed inside the Dragon Egg all this ti?
??While Bai Xuan and Mare Alera bonded, Serene stood to the side, watching them with a complicated look in her eyes.
??It wasn’t quite jealousy. She was just… running low on mana. Hungry.
??...
??Baihai City.
??Liu Qian and Li Hongyou had already returned to the Baihai City Investigation Bureau.
??Li Hongyou eyed Liu Qian, her gaze full of silent exasperation.
??She couldn’t hold back any longer: “If you were going to handle it yourself, why send
to Ninghang City at all?”
??Liu Qian nonchalantly pulled the lollipop from her mouth and smiled. “Hongyou, if I hadn’t sent you, how else would they have dispatched soone like Cube-3?”
??“Hmph.”
??Li Hongyou shot her a frosty glare.
??She wasn’t angry about the assignnt itself—what really irked her was that Liu Qian had kept her in the dark from the start.
??Liu Qian smiled, trying to placate her. “Co on—no matter what, we got results this ti. I’ll make sure you get the credit.”
??“I don’t need your generosity. We’re not on the sa side.” Li Hongyou’s voice was pure disdain. She quickly changed the subject. “And how long are you planning to pretend to be your niece?”
??“Heh~” Liu Qian chuckled. “Don’t you like
better when I’m younger?”
??“No matter what you look like,” Li Hongyou replied coolly, “I’ll always hate your guts.”
??“Hahahaha~ Fine, fine~”
??A sly smile crept across Liu Qian’s lips as her form began to shift with her laughter.
??Her slim figure blossod with alluring curves, her security uniform lting away into an elegant, deep-purple gown, a snow-white blazer draped over her shoulders.
??Her straight brown hair faded into a rich wine-red, the ends curling and swaying gently. Her delicate features transford into a sultry beauty, amber eyes brimming with a srizing charm.
??“Mmm~”
??Liu Mufei stretched in her own skin at last, a satisfied smile on her lips. “Nothing beats being myself. My niece’s body just doesn’t have that—duang duang duang—feeling when I walk.”
??“…?”
??Li Hongyou blinked.
??Her gaze involuntarily dropped to Liu Mufei’s chest, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
??“What’s that supposed to an?”
