I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

"Mother!"

"Little brother, please don't do this, I'm scared, I'm the older sister..."

"Hmm~ No, I just want to call you Mommy!"

Inside the cave, the dim phosphorescent light flickered.

Anna stared wide-eyed as Wayne fawned over another young dragon, similar in size and with dark green scales, deep inside the cave.

Anna finally broke down.

Holy crap! What are you all doing?!

Holy crap! What the hell are you all doing?!

Make it better for me!

I said, Wayne, are you a dragon or something?!

Anna initially thought that Wayne calling her "Mom" was just a playful gesture.

After all, the green dragon's brutality and vulgarity in courtship are well-known.

In addition, the dragon race is very large, and there are all kinds of perverts. You can't say for sure that there might be a green dragon that likes to treat its mate as its mother for stimulation.

However, Anna finally understood what Wayne was like now.

This little freak doesn't like being a son; he just enjoys the process of calling out "Mom"!

Now she could somewhat understand Tia's feelings.

On the other side, Lina Gris, who was being called "Mom" repeatedly by Wayne, looked troubled.

Last time, she only accepted two shiny minerals from her younger brother and acted as a mother for a moment, but Tia's mother heard about it and almost beat her to a pulp.

She's even starting to suspect that her brother set this up.

Lina didn't dare to agree at all, and no matter how much Wayne shouted, she just pretended not to hear.

However, Wayne's attack was so relentless that he gave Lina no time to breathe.

In desperation, Lina had no choice but to try to change the subject.

Anna, who was standing at the door, gave her the opportunity.

"Um... Wayne, who is this?"

As soon as Lina finished speaking, two completely different answers rang out.

"She's my mom!"

"I'm his wife!"

Lina didn't say anything on the surface, but deep down she couldn't help but sigh.

They really know how to have fun!

This was the first time Lina had ever encountered such a confusing identity as both "mother" and "wife".

However, green dragons are naturally more tolerant and understanding. Even if Wayne were to start breeding with this little blue dragon right in front of her, Lina would probably only be surprised and then nod in understanding.

Then they stuffed this bizarre scene into the Dragon Clan's heritage, adding "wisdom" to future generations.

Looking at his sister Lina, who remained unresponsive no matter how he called out to her and even shrank back, Wayne fell silent for a moment.

So he asked tentatively, his tone carrying a hint of the cunning typical of business dealings:

"Sister, what if... I give you money?"

Upon hearing the word "money," Lina's eyes lit up briefly, but then dimmed again.

She hesitated, but finally shook her head with difficulty.

"No...no, little brother."

Lina's voice carried a sense of pain, as if the money was right in front of her but she just couldn't get it.

"We're siblings! No matter how much money you give me, I can't be your mother!"

Upon hearing this, Wayne was greatly alarmed.

He even began to suspect that his sister might have been switched at birth.

Is this still the same older sister I know who would bend over for money and call me "Mom" for two pieces of ore? Where did that carefree "get things done for money" attitude go?

It's worth noting that a large part of the reason Wayne returned to this cave was to test the other capabilities of his system.

For example, this...

[Each time you gain a Mom Mark, all your attributes increase by 5%. The maximum number of Mom Marks you can accumulate is twelve, but there is no limit to the number of Mom Marks of the same type!]

Although Wayne already has both blue and green mom markers, theoretically he could also stack the green mom markers on a second layer.

Unfortunately, Lina's condition today made Wayne realize that this was probably unlikely.

So Wayne had no choice but to settle for second best and try to make up for his losses.

"Sister, what happened to all the gold coins and ores I saved up and left in the cave?"

Upon hearing this, Lina paused for a moment before replying:

"Mom took it."

Lina shrank her neck and replied:

She said she would keep it for you and return it to you when you come of age.

Upon hearing this answer, Wayne sighed repeatedly.

The money is gone.

Although he had a premonition all along.

Even if you were a mere child from the Dragon Kingdom in your past life, you would know from this answer that you definitely wouldn't get the money back.

Not to mention the Green Dragon.

Under normal circumstances, the five-colored dragons would not personally take action to snatch the treasures accumulated by the cubs, as it would be too beneath them, especially since the green dragon is a species that "prefers" cubs.

Perhaps at the beginning, the green dragon mothers were genuinely acting out of kindness, protecting their cubs' property and would never have embezzled it.

But you're saying you can get the cubs back once they're adults?

That would be hilarious.

Once the cubs reach adulthood and want to reclaim their inheritance, the first thing they'll likely face is their mother's roar:

You're an adult, why are you still lingering on my territory?

And they actually dared to ask me for money?

Sigh, it seems like I really can't get the money back.

Wayne couldn't help but sigh twice more; the feeling of having his life's blood drained away made even his scales look a little duller.

Although he was born not long ago and didn't have much wealth, it was still quite upsetting for Wayne to have his assets confiscated by Tia's mother out of thin air.

"Oh, right, sister."

Undeterred, Wayne asked one last question.

"And what about yours? Is your treasure still there?"

The moment Lina heard the question, her previously listless spirits instantly tensed up!

She suddenly took two steps back into the depths of the cave, instinctively using her wings to protect her body, her eyes instantly becoming as wary as a mother dragon protecting her cubs.

"Mine is still here!"

Lina's voice rose eight octaves, becoming sharp and possessive.

"What are you trying to do, Wayne! That's my secret stash of money! Don't even think about taking it! Besides, I'm your sister! Are you going to steal your sister's money?!"

For a moment, Wayne was caught in a dilemma.

On one side was his older sister, born in the same litter as him, within minutes of each other, and whom he had just called "Mom"; on the other side were those glittering, sparkling treasures.

Forcing Wayne to choose between the two is far too cruel.

Coupled with Lina's earlier reprimand, Wayne instantly put on a heartbroken expression.

"Sister...do you really think I'm the kind of bastard green dragon who would personally rob even my own sister?"

No...is that so?

Although green dragons do exhibit familial bonds, these are primarily shown between mothers and cubs.

The relationship between siblings from the same nest is comparable to the struggle for succession among nine princes.

But seeing Little Wayne's appearance, Lina, the little green dragon who wasn't very knowledgeable, was still intimidated.

For a moment, Lina felt that she might have overreacted.

Wayne may be strange in many ways, but apart from stealing food and calling her mother, she doesn't seem to have done anything particularly hurtful to her sister.

Lina lowered her head with a look of guilt:

"I'm sorry, little brother, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you."

She paused, looking at Wayne's heartbroken expression, and quickly tried to salvage the situation:

"How about this, I'll compensate you... uh... um... ah, let me think, what should I compensate you with?"
