I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

With the Rabbit Talisman's blessing, Wayne ran wildly until the swamp reeking of a girl's stinky feet and Bella's voice completely disappeared behind him. Only then did Wayne find a piece of dead wood and some pebbles to lean against and rest.

This dragon is too scary, I'm not playing anymore!

Let whoever wants to find this mother go ahead and do it.

You five-colored dragons are all divine dragons, I'm just a normal dragon, I can't compete with you.

After several days of practice, Wayne finally confirmed one fact:

Choosing a five-colored dragon to be your mother was an incredibly bad decision.

Perhaps it was because his biological mother Tia and his loli mother Anna were too normal that Wayne had the wrong confidence, which led Wayne to have unrealistic fantasies about the five-colored dragon species.

Now, after being brutally beaten by reality, Wayne has finally seen through the true nature of the five-colored dragons.

What the hell are those five-colored dragons (except for the green dragon)?

Wayne solemnly swore in his heart:

If he, Goddu Wayne Gris, ever adopts any more of the five-colored dragons as his mother, he will drag out every single mother he has collected now and in the future to block the bridge! He means it!

It's really a wonder that Anna managed to outwit and outmaneuver the Russell dragons for so long without getting angry or being assimilated.

To some extent, Wayne even began to admire Lolita's mother.

However, Wayne had no interest in that.

He had already decided that as long as he waited until tomorrow, Wayne would secretly abdicate.

At that point, whatever Russell Dragons do, whether they scatter or unite, live or die, it will have nothing to do with Wayne!

Your Uncle Wayne is about to make a beautiful run away to continue looking for his mother.

However, before fleeing, there is still a very real and important problem that needs to be solved:

Where should he sleep tonight?

Although dragons are tough and can easily find a hole in the wild to lie down in for the night, Wayne has been pampered with good food and drink by his nominal mothers these past few days.

For Wayne, who was used to a life of luxury, having a dry, comfortable, and safe nest to sleep in was the best thing ever.

Previously, Wayne naturally lived in Anna's lair.

As the residence of the former queen, this place has housed three dragon emperors: Anna, Cody, and Wayne. It is decorated in a lavish manner, and Wayne feels that it is only slightly inferior to Tia's mother's house.

The problem is that if they want to get back to that nest, they have to cross Bella's swamp.

Wayne wasn't afraid of being seen by Bella—he had the invisibility ability of the Snake Talisman, and Bella's perception was too weak to detect him.

The main reason is that Wayne himself has developed a strong physiological aversion to the black dragon species, especially Bella and her swamp.

The thought that Wayne could mistake the smell of rotting corpses mixed with the swamp for the stench of a young girl's feet made him want to just die right there.

Damn it!

If Genshin Impact or Naruto players found out, how could we Arknights players ever hold our heads high again?

What Wayne was truly afraid of was that if he passed by, Bella would pull some indescribable thing out of the mud again...

yue～

No, just thinking about it makes Wayne's stomach churn.

Another reason why Wayne was unwilling to return to the Central Dragon Nest was that it was too close to Prime Minister Lyle's residence.

Wayne was worried that it wouldn't be convenient to run away, and that it would be bad if it alerted the blue dragon Lyle.

With his brilliant and intelligent imperial qualities, even though he only ruled the Russell Dragonflight for a few days, he brought about earth-shattering changes to the Russell Dragonflight.

That vibrant, flourishing scene is still vivid in Wayne's mind.

Wayne was genuinely afraid that if news of his intention to leave leaked out, Lyle would be moved to tears, leading all his subjects to kneel down and weep in the streets.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

"The country cannot do without you!"

"How will we live without you!"

The thought of everyone crying and begging him to continue leading them made Wayne's heart soften.

But the problem is, Wayne has to leave the dragon pack.

His goal was always to find his mother and become stronger, not to become the emperor of a dragon clan.

So after much deliberation, Wayne decided to spend the night in the White Fool's lair.

The order of the dragon nests in the Russell dragon pack is roughly based on rank, with the emperor's nest in the center, followed by the prime minister's, and then the ordinary dragons.

Bella's swamp was actually quite close to the edge of this oasis, but beyond her lay the white dragon Daphne.

As the true floor tiles of the dragon pack, Daphne's lair is rightfully located on the very edge, conveniently in the direction Wayne left in.

Then... I'll just spend the night at that idiot's house...

Although Little White's brain isn't very sharp and his nest is probably quite rudimentary, at least he has a place to live.

Having made up his mind, Wayne quickly determined the direction and headed towards Daphne's lair.

Soon, a sparser slope, with only a few clumps of tenacious grass remaining, came into view.

Below the slope, in a sheltered spot, there is a very simple cave entrance that can almost be called a "pit".

The "door" to the cave is a huge, crooked rock that barely blocks most of the cave entrance.

The marks on the edge of the stone indicate that it was frequently moved, probably to be used as a door panel.

This is the home of Daphne the White Dragon.

Wayne stood at the cave entrance, looking at the shabby cave before him, and couldn't help but sigh.

That's definitely Bailong's style.

Oh well, it's a white dragon after all, we can't expect too much.

Out of politeness, Wayne raised his paw and tapped the rock lightly.

Then he opened his mouth:

"Mommy! Mommy! Open the door!"

Holy crap!

I've gotten used to calling my mom that so easily these past few days.

As soon as he said it, Wayne realized his mistake and quickly covered his mouth.

Wayne announced that what he said before didn't count, and that from this sentence onwards, he would find the Five-Colored Dragon to be his mother and have his whole family block the bridge.

From behind the rock came muffled sounds of "uh...uh..." as if something had covered the mouth or the person had just woken up.

Daphne probably heard it.

However, considering the other person's intelligence and language ability, Wayne didn't expect her to be able to say complete sentences like "Who is it?" or "Wait a minute!"

"Forget it, I'll go in myself. I probably can't explain it to her anyway."

Wayne shook his head, preparing to use his claws to move the seemingly unstable rock aside, and go inside to find a corner to spend the night.

However, just as his claws touched the cold stone surface—

From behind the rock, a series of intermittent muffled sounds could be heard.

That was... a voice from Daphne that Wayne had never heard before!

"Mmm...Baby...Baby...Mommy...is here!"

The next second, the long-lost pale blue light screen flickered before Wayne's eyes:

[Ding! You've gained a new level of mom!]
