I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Ee-yo~

This place is like a hidden village appearing after a dark road!

It's hard to believe, but even though "veteran" is a bit abstract, "dragon" is actually quite good.

"This...Grandpa Long,"

Wayne suppressed the urge to complain that was surging within him and tried his best to make his voice sound obedient.

"May I ask your name?"

Upon hearing this, the old golden dragon's expression of gratitude completely faded, replaced by a gentle, kind, and benevolent smile.

"Young dragon, there's no need for such formalities. Just call me Grandpa Auguston."

The ancient dragon's voice was deep and gentle.

"Don't worry, you can speak your mind if you have any requests. Now that you've joined Mount Valius, you're part of the Golden Dragon Clan here, and everyone will help you."

Oh, that's more like it!

The best thing is mutual help and support within a community.

This is the golden dragon that Wayne has been longing for!

Wayne immediately seized the opportunity, raised his head, and strained his red vertical pupils to open them wide, revealing an expression of longing.

"Well then, Grandpa Augustine,"

Wayne paused, as if gathering his courage, and then spoke in one breath.

"Could you...be my mother?"

The air seemed to freeze for a fleeting moment.

The veteran Jinlong was clearly taken aback for a moment before showing a thoughtful expression.

"Well... I understand your request. It's true. It's too difficult for a young dragon to be taught and nurtured without a mother. For the sake of your healthy growth, we should find you a mother."

"However, I am not suitable to be your mother. It's not just a matter of gender, but more importantly, I am too old and my mindset is not supportive of raising a cub."

Seemingly afraid that Wayne would worry, the veteran quickly added:

"But you don't need to worry at all!"

The veteran's enormous paw swayed gently.

"As I just said, everyone in the clan will help you! The role of mother will naturally be filled by a more suitable member!"

As he spoke, Augustine looked at the adult female dragon beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Margaret, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, the dragon Margaret, who was called out, immediately broke into an even gentler, brighter smile, radiating maternal warmth.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Augustine, my child happens to be around that age. There's not much difference between raising one child and raising two, and besides..."

Margaret smiled gently, her beautiful longan eyes crinkling.

"Besides, Wayne's a good boy, right? He's managed to stay aloof all by himself, even after losing his mother, and he's done so many amazing things. It's truly remarkable!"

"What Auntie said,"

She leaned down slightly, extending a forepaw covered in warm, golden scales towards Wayne. The movement was gentle, full of invitation and acceptance, and her voice grew softer and more melodious:

"I'd be happy to be the mother of such a strong and kind child!"

"And then...?"

Margaret's smile was as radiant as the sunshine, and her voice was full of happiness and anticipation.

"I'm your mother!"

"Come here, little Wayne,"

She opened her forelegs, making a hugging gesture, her eyes full of encouragement and affection:

"Let Mommy hug me!"

Wow, that's so true!

That's right!

Such abundant maternal instinct! Such gentle words! Such natural acceptance! And she's even a married woman!

This is the perfect template for the golden dragon mother that fits all of Wayne's fantasies!

My dear mom, I'm here!

Just as Wayne was about to rush into Golden Dragon's arms to complete the mother certification.

next second!

boom!

A hard, solid object, also covered in golden scales and about the same size as Wayne, slammed into Wayne's arms, successfully intercepting his lunge!

It's that golden dragon cub that was just sitting on the field!

The other person stared at Wayne with a fierce expression, looking like he couldn't wait to fight Wayne one-on-one.

No, lady, what are you going to do?

The hostile aura emanating from the other party made Wayne instinctively feel uneasy.

Oh dear, why are dragons so wicked these days?

They've even started protecting their food.

Besides, you love your mother, and I love your mother too. Shouldn't we be comrades-in-arms?

At this critical moment when his mother's survival was in danger, Wayne finally awakened the unique talent that a green dragon should have.

Wayne blinked, tears welling in his eyes, and looked at the mother dragon Margaret, then said pitifully:

"I'm sorry, Mom..."

"My sister...she probably doesn't like me very much..."

"As expected, I still don't belong here... It's better for me to leave... Waaah..."

"Wait a minute, little Wayne!"

As expected, after a series of smooth moves by Wayne, the mother dragon Margaret called out to Wayne and quickly apologized gently.

"No, no! That's not what Sister Ingrid meant! Can you wait a moment? Let Mom talk to her."

Immediately afterwards, Margaret's gentle smile vanished, replaced by a serious and earnest expression as she looked at her daughter.

The golden baby dragon, about the same size as Wayne, was glaring at him with a resentful expression.

"Ingrid!"

Margaret's voice was not loud, but it carried a mother's authority.

"Have you forgotten the teachings of the great Platinum Dragon and the heritage of our Golden Dragon clan?"

Love your fellow countrymen, help the weak, do not be jealous, do not exclude...

"I'm not the kind of jealous, petty dragon!"

The golden baby dragon Ingrid impatiently interrupted her mother. Looking at the dragons before her, she spoke deliberately, in a tone that sounded more like a statement of fact than an expression of emotion:

"Sharing my mom's things is something I can do!"

"but."

Ingrid abruptly changed the subject, her golden vertical pupils sharply fixed on Wayne, her tone resolute.

"I absolutely! Absolutely! Will not! Let him become my mother's child!"

"No, why is that?"

"No, why is that?"

The veteran and Wayne couldn't help but ask the question at the same time.

In Augustine's view, if it wasn't jealousy, he really couldn't think of any other reason why a golden dragon would be unwilling to accept another golden dragon.

Wayne, on the other hand, had absolutely no idea why the other party was targeting him like this.

Before this, Wayne had never seen a single golden dragon hatchling.

"Ha, now they don't even remember me anymore."

Upon hearing Wayne's question, Ingrid couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"Alright, then I'll reluctantly remind you."

Immediately afterwards, the young dragon in front of him looked at Wayne with a serious expression.

Do you remember saving a human child in the underground hall?

Save the child?

Wayne's mind raced.

He saved many children; just from the time he destroyed the Dragon Worship Cult's sacrificial offering, there were about thirty people saved.

Besides, what does this have to do with the golden dragon cub in front of us?

Seeing Wayne's blank expression, as if he couldn't remember at all, Ingrid laughed in exasperation.

"snort!"

next second!

A soft golden light flashed by!

A blonde, human-shaped girl of about twelve or thirteen years old appeared before Wayne.
