I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Wayne ultimately couldn't bear to hand over the entire large gold coin.

This behavior was far too outrageous for both the Green Dragon and the Holy Lord.

On the other side, Anna trembled with excitement when she saw the half of the large gold coin that Wayne handed her.

She gave Wayne a deep look.

"Hmm~ Wayne, it's settled then."

Anna's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity.

"I'll wait for you. Then we'll rebuild the Russell Dragons together!"

Blue dragons are extremely loyal, and infidelity is very rare among them. Usually, only blue dragons that live long enough will have multiple partners due to their lifespan.

Therefore, Anna's promise carried immense weight.

Wayne didn't fully understand what Anna meant.

At this moment, Wayne stared at the half gold coin with heartache, his heart bleeding.

"Yes, Anna, don't forget about me!"

Waaaaah, Anna, please, please be my mom for the rest of my life.

The two dragons inexplicably reached an agreement.

The next step, naturally, was to send Anna away from the dense forest, which was not a difficult task for Wayne, who possessed the Rabbit Charm.

Soon, propelled by Wayne's incredible speed, Anna reached the edge of the dense forest.

After a period of rest, Anna had regained some of her strength.

She stood at the edge of the woods, grabbed Wayne's hand, and asked with some reluctance:

"I said, Wayne, can't you come with me? With you here, I'm sure I can rebuild a dragon pack very quickly."

Emotionally speaking, Anna naturally wanted Wayne to stay with her.

With the help of such an outstanding, monstrous, and powerful male dragon, she is confident that she can rebuild the dragon pack in a short time. All she needs to do is wait for them to reach adulthood, and with their massive numbers, the Russell dragon pack will be invincible!

At that time, she will become the most honorable Blue Dragon Queen, and Wayne will become the most honorable Queen's husband.

Faced with Anna's invitation, Wayne shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and determination:

"I also have Tia's mom."

One sentence explains a lot.

Anna sighed, but did not criticize Wayne's choice.

Ultimately, it's perfectly understandable that the young dragon chose to stay with its mother.

If it weren't for my mother being so...

Anna also longed to spend her dragon hatchling stage in peace.

Even so, Anna still felt a pang of jealousy. Looking at Wayne, she couldn't help but say in a complaining tone:

"Ugh~ I know, you little pervert. You call me 'Mom' too, so why are you still clinging to your biological mother and refusing to leave?"

That's definitely different.

Just like Wayne can call anyone "Mom" to buff himself, but no one can call him "Son," otherwise they'll really be asking for a beating.

Goodbye, Anna! Don't forget our promise!

Wayne withdrew his claws and bid farewell to Anna.

"Goodbye, you heartless little thing!"

Anna also waved her paws and clutched the half-gold coin Wayne had given her.

"Remember to wait for me, and we'll form a new dragon clan together!"

……

Inside the cave, the dim phosphorescent light still flickered, but it couldn't illuminate Lina's gloomy mood.

"What do you say, sister? Please say yes!"

Wayne had slipped back at some point, fiddling with a shiny, rare mineral in his hand—his "secret stash" of money he'd just received from Anna during their share of the spoils.

"If you agree to let me call you Mom, I'll give you back this shiny stone."

Wayne blinked his red, vertical pupils, his tone so sincere it was infuriating, "Otherwise..."

"Click."

With a slight exertion of his thick claws, the rare ore that had captivated Lina for half a day was instantly crushed into a shimmering cloud of powder.

"No! Please, please stop!"

Lina's heart bled as she watched the powder drifting in the wind. This was all the wealth she had painstakingly accumulated, and Wayne had taken it all away in one fell swoop, and now he was even using it to threaten her!

Yes, Wayne is back.

As an outstanding "Va's junior", Wayne was always worried about his second layer of green mother mark.

After all, that's a 5% increase in all attributes!

Moreover, Wayne has yet to unlock the second layer of a similar mark.

He was really curious whether the second passive skill had any other effects besides the slight attribute bonus.

For example, strengthening the spell...

In fact, when he first unlocked the Serpent Charm, Wayne already sensed that the charm unlocked by the first mark did not possess the original divine power, but rather a weakened version.

Therefore, Wayne naturally speculated that perhaps stacking similar "Mom Marks" could strengthen the spell, thus achieving the effect described in the original work.

This is why Wayne is so determined to make Lina the new "mother".

He needs a new layer of green mom markers.

However, this wicked older sister still refused to become a mother.

Speaking of which, can't an old man like you who's already broke just hurry up and become a marker to give my little brother a passive ability?

Wayne originally thought that after turning Lina into a penniless man, it would be much easier to tempt her with money.

However, no one knows what Tia's mother did to Lina last time, and Lina still refuses to comply, so Wayne had to resort to such extreme measures.

"Hmm~ Sister, so this is your ore? So this is what it usually looks like! But it's not like this in my hands. Sister, if you can stand it, please continue reading!"

"No! Please don't touch it like that! It can't stand it!"

Seeing the minerals she usually treasured and couldn't bear to touch, only glancing at them for a moment, now being vigorously rubbed by her younger brother's large hands, Lina couldn't take it anymore.

"I promise you! I promise, okay?!"

Soon, under Wayne's relentless attacks, Lina finally broke down.

Lina's eyes were unfocused, her wings drooped limply, and she seemed to have been drained of all her energy, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Ah, that's more like it."

Wayne stopped what he was doing with satisfaction, then tossed a few of the ores he had found from his sister Lina to the other person, and then called out sincerely:

"Mommy~"

"Sigh...sigh..."

"Mommy~"

"Sigh...sigh..."

Wayne was furious when he saw that he had called for his mother several times in a row, but his passive level had not increased.

He asked unwillingly:

"Damn it, sister, do you actually not want to be my mom at all?"

After a short rest, Lina, feeling a little better, glanced at Wayne and then looked at him with a strange look as if he were a pervert.

What on earth are you talking about?

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

Who on earth wants to be the mother of someone like you?
