As soon as the words fell, a Red-Haired Girl stepped out of the Spatial Rift, abruptly appearing in the Palace.
Jona Velli turned around and met Friel's cold gaze, but upon closer inspection, she realized Friel wasn't looking at Jona Velli but at Fenni behind her.
Fenni felt her scalp tingle under Friel's stare and instinctively moved closer to Jona Velli.
"I... I greet Lady Friel."
Fenni's voice was timid, growing softer as she spoke.
Friel saw this scene, anger flashing in her eyes as she roared inwardly.
'Why does everyone like to get close to her! Isn't she a Chromatic Dragon?!'
Jona Velli broke the tense atmosphere by speaking up at this moment.
"Oh my, oh my~ Isn't this Friel? Long time no see. Did you miss me so much that you couldn't wait to see me as soon as you sensed I'd awakened? Hehehe~"
After saying this, the ahoge on Jona Velli's head playfully swayed.
A hint of flustered panic appeared in Friel's eyes, but she quickly hid it.
"Hmph, don't be so narcissistic."
As she spoke, Friel strode up to Jona Velli, looking down at her with a deep frown.
"Why are you so small?"
But inwardly, Friel was already melting from Jona Velli's adorable appearance.
'So cute~ I really want to ruffle her, I really want to tease her properly!'
By now, Friel had also reached the adolescent stage. After transforming, her height reached 1.65 meters, but Jona Velli had hardly changed, still around 1.5 meters.
Caught off guard by the jab at her sore spot, Jona Velli stiffened, her gaze turning cold.
"What do you mean by that?"
Friel crossed her arms and said coldly.
"Exactly what it means."
She had already decided that after defeating Jona Velli, she would definitely tease her properly.
"Huh? You're really arrogant. Have you forgotten who had you pinned down decades ago?
Looking at you today, do you want to experience that again?"
As she spoke, Jona Velli subconsciously put her hands on her hips, the white ahoge on her head swaying once more.
Seeing this extremely cute scene, Friel felt her heart melting, but on the surface, she couldn't suppress a slight curl at the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, she raised her left hand, pausing in mid-air.
"Want to give it a try?"
Seeing Friel like this, Jona Velli's ahoge trembled with anger.
'She's smiling! Hmph, she definitely looks down on me!!'
"You... don't underestimate a dragon!"
As she spoke, Jona Velli raised her right hand, interlocking fingers with Friel in a cross grip, giving a cold smile.
"Hehe, are you ready, you arrogant one?"
Friel couldn't suppress the smile on her lips no matter how hard she tried.
'She's smiling, she's smiling at me, and we're even holding hands~ Her hand is so small and soft~'
Clearing her throat lightly, Friel nodded.
"Bring it on."
As soon as the words fell, the two dragons exerted force simultaneously. A terrifying shockwave swept through, and their originally fair arms bulged with robust muscles.
Friel was even more exaggerated—her explosive muscles tore her sleeves apart.
'WTF! What the hell is this? A muscle girl? A muscular Barbie? Are you kidding me!'
Clearly, this explosive muscle caught Jona Velli off guard. For a moment, her hand was pressed down slightly.
"What? Is this all you've got, you white fool?"
The provocative tone infuriated Jona Velli, and the ahoge on her head stood up like an exclamation mark.
The next second, Jona Velli exerted force fiercely, pushing back a bit.
"Who do you think you're looking down on, you arrogant one?"
"Hmph~ Interesting. How about trying this move!"
Before the words even finished, a terrifying Dragon's Aura emanated from Friel. The Diamond Seven Rings realm was extremely intimidating.
Jona Velli realized her stamina was rapidly depleting.
This was the special effect inherent in Friel's Dragon's Aura—rapidly increasing stamina consumption.
Generally, such Dragon's Auras are very special and rare, with an absurdly low probability of awakening. However, the probability is slightly higher for Aberrant Dragons, just as Demi-Humans have a higher chance of awakening Magical Eyes compared to other races.
Jona Velli gave a disdainful smile.
"Don't think you're the only one who has it."
After saying this, Jona Velli also released her Dragon's Aura, colliding with Friel's. The ground couldn't withstand the two powerful forces, developing a web-like pattern of cracks.
Friel discovered that under Jona Velli's Dragon's Aura, she felt cold, and her movements became somewhat stiff and sluggish.
However, the intensity of the two Dragon's Auras was about equal, and they soon canceled each other out... In a Garden, a girl in a White Dress sat quietly on a Garden Swing Chair. A sudden breeze lifted her silver hair, like a tranquil and beautiful painting.
A pair of silver pupils stared blankly at the Sam River not far away, the nostalgia in her eyes making one want to learn about her past.
Beside her, a Middle-Aged Knight stood quietly, guarding her safety.
Rustle—
The rustling sound came, but Sasha didn't turn her head.
"Why are you here again?"
The Bushes in a corner of the Garden stiffened abruptly. After a moment, a Black-Haired Boy stood up, scratching his head sheepishly.
"Hehe~ I..."
Sasha turned her head, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
After over a decade of interaction, this Black Dragon was indeed a bit mischievous, but he was also genuinely foolish. Fortunately, he seemed different from other Black Dragons.
Although his nature was murderous, cruel, and sadistic, for some reason, he only liked to talk big and hadn't killed anyone in front of her yet.
"Sigh~ Gris, you forgot again. Dragons are very sensitive to things like peeping."
"Uh, I'll be more careful next time, haha~"
As Gris spoke, he walked over under Sasha's gaze.
Sasha thought for a moment and spoke again.
"Gris, don't keep peeping at me. In your words... well, I don't like being... visually violated?"
Gris stiffened, then waved his hand, stopping in front of Sasha.
"How can a dragon's actions be called visual violation? It should be called observation, you know."
As he spoke, regardless of whether Sasha liked it or not, Gris sat down beside her. He subconsciously wanted to cross his legs but forced himself to hold back.
This scene amused Sasha a bit. Gris then looked at Spulo beside him.
Spulo immediately understood, bowing to the two dragons.
"Miss, my lord, I shall take my leave now."
Spulo turned and left. Sasha withdrew her gaze and looked at Gris.
"May I ask when I can be allowed to return?"
Sasha had been here for over a decade, even undergoing her adolescent breakthrough slumber in White Crystal City.
Gris was taken aback.
"You... really want to leave that much? What's not good here? There's food, drink, and fun."
'And me.'
But he could only say this in his heart.
Sasha shook her head.
"It's good here, but compared to this, I'd rather return to Dragon Island, stay with my family, or punish evil."
