Evening arrived at the Star Emperor Grand Hotel. Inside the living room of Kong Mingan's suite, two figures were currently positioned extremely close to each other on the sofa. Kong Mingan leaned against the backrest, his gaze calm and rippleless. Above him, Qiu'er was dressed in an exquisitely crafted black-and-white maid outfit. Her hands were braced against the top of the sofa's backrest, and one knee was pressed into the soft cushion as she looked down at him from above. Her red eyes, fixed intently on him, flickered with uncertainty, and her body trembled slightly, yet she still strove to maintain a calm expression. Her eyes were filled with a sense of finality, as if she were about to risk everything in the next moment. Kong Mingan watched her quietly for a long time before sighing. "Qiu'er, this is the fourth time today you've failed to stand steadily... you almost fell directly onto me. Don't you have an explanation?"
Qiu'er's movements froze. She abruptly straightened her body and stood back on the floor, looking to the side as she said in a steady tone, "I... it was an accident."
Kong Mingan sat up straight and said calmly, "With your strength and control over your body, you could have completely avoided it. If you keep being this clumsy, you won't be able to be a proper maid."
Qiu'er pursed her lips tightly, her fingernails nearly sinking into her palms. "I understand. It won't happen again."
"That's good then." Kong Mingan nodded, then spoke again, "I'm going to rest. You may leave."
Qiu'er immediately froze in place. She bit her lower lip hard, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle. Finally, she spoke again, her voice carrying a distinct tremor. "I... I can stay..."
"No, you cannot." Kong Mingan interrupted her directly, his voice remaining calm. "Don't force yourself to do things you aren't good at or are unwilling to do. Go and rest."
Qiu'er fell silent, her body trembling slightly. After a long while, she raised her eyes and stared fixedly at Kong Mingan. The stubbornness between her brows was as persistent as ever, perhaps even more intense. "I definitely can!"
Kong Mingan looked at the expression in Miss Auspicious Beast's eyes, which seemed to hide a lion within, and nodded somewhat helplessly. "Then I shall wait and see?"
Qiu'er seemed to have received some kind of promise and nodded vigorously, her expression incredibly serious. Then... she suddenly turned around and left the room with quick steps without staying for a moment. Clearly, she wasn't as brave as she claimed to be.
The door closed, and silence returned to the living room. Kong Mingan shook his head and sighed softly. Then, with a casual gesture, he made a light swipe in the empty space beside him. Instantly, the space rippled like water, and after a brief wait, a slender figure stepped out. It was Gu Yue.
The young girl had black hair and black eyes, with an exquisite face. Currently, she was also wearing a maid outfit. However, unlike the clearly inappropriate maid outfit she had worn before, this design was relatively conservative. It still followed the classic black-and-white color scheme; the upper half was well-tailored, with a slight neckline that perfectly revealed her fair skin and delicate collarbones, outlining her soft curves. The back was not an open design but instead transitioned into a corset beneath the fabric, making her waist appear so slender it could be held in one hand. The lower half was a short skirt that covered her thighs, its edges decorated with fine lace. Her legs were encased in white garter stockings, the exquisite garters at the top connecting to the inner corset, adding a touch of seductive mystery. Gu Yue walked out slowly, her posture as cold and aloof as ever, carrying an inexplicably noble temperament that felt out of place with her maid outfit. However, her movements appeared somewhat stiff; her hand instinctively rested on the hem of her skirt as if trying to press it down, showing obvious discomfort. Kong Mingan looked at her, silently admiring the sight for a moment, before speaking softly, "Come here."
Gu Yue paused for a moment but didn't hesitate much, walking straight toward him. Then...
She came directly in front of Kong Mingan, knelt on the sofa, and then sat directly on his lap. "——"
Kong Mingan instinctively reached out to support her slender yet supple waist. He looked up at the girl so close at hand and couldn't help but blink. Wait... I only told you to come over, right? Why did you sit directly on me?
Has she already trained herself to this extent?
Kong Mingan didn't know what to say for a moment. However, Gu Yue looked down at him from above, a look of desperate determination flashing in her eyes. Then, she closed her eyes and leaned down as if to descend upon him. Kong Mingan: "...?"
The expected sensation didn't come. Before Gu Yue could fully descend, she felt her lips being gently blocked by a warm palm. Gu Yue opened her eyes in confusion, looking at him without understanding. Kong Mingan said somewhat helplessly, "I didn't say I wanted this."
Gu Yue was stunned. She felt a sudden blockage in her heart, followed by an indescribable sense of grievance and shame. She instinctively wanted to get up, but the hand at her waist applied slight pressure, keeping her in place. Her body leaned forward, and her chest inevitably pressed tightly against him, the two mounds squeezed together, full and plump, leaving her unable to move. Gu Yue frowned. Wait, do you want this or not?
The girl made a symbolic struggle, only to find that the hand remained steadily on her waist with no intention of letting go. Thus, her gaze fell back onto the person in front of her. If it were the old her, she would have definitely started struggling in anger, but now, she wasn't particularly angry. Instead, she felt a sort of accustomed calm. They had already kissed, so what was a hug?
Moreover, she didn't actually want this either. It was mainly for Qiu'er. Yes... it was all for Qiu'er. For Qiu'er's safety, she could do anything.
As these thoughts flashed by, Gu Yue's face immediately returned to its usual coldness. She then looked down at Kong Mingan from above and said softly, "Speak. No matter what, I will cooperate."
Kong Mingan blinked, suddenly curious about what the cold Dragon King Miss would look like if she cried and said she didn't want to. After thinking about it, Kong Mingan didn't rush things and instead spoke, "Then, can you transform into a dragon for me to see?"
"What?" Gu Yue was stunned. "I want to see your main body," Kong Mingan said in a serious tone.
Gu Yue paused, somewhat puzzled, but she still nodded. Her eyes swept across the room before she spoke, "This place is too small. It probably won't fit my main body."
"Is that so..." Kong Mingan said thoughtfully, then spoke again, "Then how about a partial dragonification? Don't change too much, just a half-human, half-dragon form like a Spirit Possession?"
"I can do that."
Gu Yue nodded and didn't refuse. Closing her eyes, a soft silver light began to emanate from all over her body. Then, an ancient and majestic aura directly permeated the air. A moment later, the light gradually withdrew, and Gu Yue's appearance had changed slightly. The girl's face was still exquisite, but her hair had turned silver-white, and her black eyes had become a brilliant purple like glazed glass. On either side of her head, a pair of small and delicate silver dragon horns had quietly grown, curving with an elegant arc. On the corners of her eyes, her cheeks, her slender neck, her delicate collarbones, and even the skin of her chest faintly visible at the neckline, fine and translucent silver-white dragon scales appeared. This wasn't eerie; instead, it held an extraordinary beauty, adding a different kind of charm to the girl's cold temperament. Most notably, behind the girl, a silver-scaled dragon tail about three meters long emerged soundlessly from beneath her skirt, drooping naturally onto the soft carpet, the tip of the tail swaying slightly without her realizing it.
