I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Lina groaned and moaned for a long time, and you could tell from her expression that she was in a lot of pain.

Even though she had a lot of treasures, Lina really didn't want to take out a shiny piece of ore.

Wayne finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the little female dragon who hadn't spoken a word since the beginning.

Then he asked:

"Anna, are you short of money lately?"

……

No dragon is ever without money, just as no human is ever uninterested in money.

Therefore, the moment Anna heard the words "Are you short of money?", her icy blue vertical pupils lit up instantly.

She had already lost a lot of money by giving away a large gold coin, so she naturally became excited when she heard about the opportunity to make money.

"lack!"

Anna didn't hesitate at all, and even moved forward a little.

"They are in extremely short supply!"

Lina, who was listening nearby, was initially hesitant about whether or not to pay, but her face instantly turned to terror!

"What...what are you trying to do?!"

Lina tried to fight back, her instinct to protect her food causing her to instantly spread her wings, and a green-glowing poisonous mist rose from her throat.

However, before she could even spit it out, Anna pounced on her like a blue lightning bolt!

As a fledgling dragon less than a month old, Lina's strength is no match for Wayne, and she is no match for Anna, who has been growing for more than five years.

What's more, Wayne was watching "lovingly" from the side, ready to lend a hand at any moment.

Within minutes, Lina's pitiful little bit of savings was gone.

Lina slumped in the cave, looking at her completely empty possessions, tears welling up in her eyes.

Clutching her now-empty treasure pouch, she covered her face with her wings and sobbed as she spoke:

"I was so stupid, really."

"All I know is that Wayne's brother is a pervert who likes to call me 'Mom'."

"I didn't know he would bring others to rob me."

"I got up early in the morning and hid the treasure well, but then my younger brother came and asked me for money."

"When I said I didn't, they tried to rob me!"

"Waaaaah, my money... Wayne, I'm going to tell Mom on you!"

Lina cried as she scratched at the ground with her claws, trying to bury herself.

Seeing Lina crying and burying her face in the ground, Wayne showed no remorse on his dragon-like face.

The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this!

I have already shown mercy by allowing it to be seized!

As for filing a complaint?

Wayne wasn't afraid at all.

Unless their lives are truly in danger, green dragon mothers generally will not get involved in the "minor squabbles" between their cubs.

After the robbery, the joyful part of dividing the spoils naturally followed.

"Here, Wayne, these are yours!"

Anna pushed a huge pile of treasure over with her paws. It included not only the gold coins she had just stolen from Lina, but also a considerable amount of glittering rare ores.

"So many?"

Wayne was startled when he saw the treasure, which far exceeded his expectations.

This quantity clearly exceeds the amount we just stole from Lina.

Noticing Wayne's confusion, Anna, while keeping a wary eye on Lina who was still sobbing in the corner, explained in a low voice:

"It wasn't just what I just robbed; there was also some savings I'd been keeping on the side..."

Wayne was taken aback.

You're going to give me a share of what you've saved up?

Is this still the five-colored dragon that is obsessed with money?

Seeing that Wayne hadn't taken it yet, his claws hovering in mid-air, Anna shouted, somewhat embarrassed and angry:

"Do you want it or not? If not, I'm taking it all!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Give it to me, give it to me!"

"None of your business!"

Lina lunged forward, only to be swatted into a corner by Anna's claws and continued her emo.

Wayne hesitated in the face of the treasure not for any other reason, but because he could sense the great significance it represented.

Anna didn't urge him, but quietly waited for Wayne's choice, her icy blue vertical pupils fixed on Wayne, her claws uneasily scratching the ground.

A few minutes later, Wayne finally managed to speak.

"Okay... thank you, then I'll accept it."

The five-colored dragon's greedy nature made it impossible for Wayne to give up such a huge pile of treasure that appeared before his eyes.

Seeing that Wayne had finally accepted it, Anna visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed.

Then, she took a deep breath, extended her claws again, and her tone became tense once more.

"Then, now... give me some more money!"

……

Compared to the brutal courtship tactics of green dragons, blue dragons' courtship is more complex, even bordering on human-like.

Their high level of socialization has instilled in them a strong sense of ritual, and Blue Dragons have very high expectations for marriage.

Once they become husband and wife, the blue dragons can share almost everything with each other.

Food, resources, and even the treasures that each of the five-colored dragons cherished as their lifeblood...

From the very beginning, Anna's goal has never changed: to make Wayne Queen Anna's husband.

Along the way, Wayne not only saved her life, but also showed all sorts of unusual behavior, which made Anna realize that Wayne was different.

The five-colored dragons admired the strong, and the little female dragon Anna was no exception.

And now, she is taking the final step in her courtship ritual.

They exchanged valuables with each other.

Only by completing this step can one be considered truly successful!

Anna watched Wayne nervously, her paws nervously scratching at the gravel on the ground.

If Wayne is unwilling to share, it means he has no sincerity in becoming her partner.

Then we can only follow the methods of our ancestors.

Two dragons fight, one kills the other, or they fight until they take a liking to each other.

But Anna, being a wise blue dragon, did not like this barbaric method deep down.

This is largely because, in this situation, after the mother dragon gives birth to her cubs, the cubs immediately face the question of "Where is the father?"

This goes against Anna's original intention.

Anna desires a powerful male dragon to help her establish a blue dragon dynasty.

Therefore, she needs Wayne to take the initiative to express himself.

Meanwhile, Wayne was shocked to hear Anna actually asking him for money.

That wretched blue dragon!

How dare she impersonate my mother!

As everyone knows, for the Five-Colored Dragon, the gold coins it earns have no chance of ever returning, except if they are stolen by other dragons.

Even one's own mother cannot escape this exception.

And now Anna is asking him for money...

Even though she had just given Wayne a large sum of money, it was still very difficult to get Wayne to give her more money.

Wayne didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the Blue Dragon, and he didn't know why Anna was suddenly asking him for money.

But as a dragon, one instinctively feels uncomfortable whenever money is spent.

"Should I go find my mother now, or think of a way to kick her out?"

When the thought popped into his head, Wayne was startled by himself.

This is just too much of a birth.

More importantly, this is completely against Wayne's interests.

Are gold coins and treasure good?

These are certainly good; no dragon dislikes something shiny.

But what exactly are their uses?

Aside from making Wayne feel happy, it didn't seem to have any other specific effect.

At least for Wayne, these things are far less important than his little girl mother Anna.

He can only continue using the Rabbit Charm if he maintains a good relationship with his little girl mother, Anna.

With that in mind, Wayne no longer hesitated and took out the large gold coin that Anna had hidden in the cow's stomach.

Then... it split in two!
