Ji Chaoxi sat on the bed, clutching a blanket, and was furious at Celeste's words.

"You say you're a prince, then what about my servants?"

He's gone. Who will clean up her cave? Who will make her a soft mattress? She doesn't want to sleep on the hard stone slabs anymore.

"I won't let you leave!" Ji Chaoxi said righteously.

That's how domineering dragons are.

Celeste said earnestly, "Miss Dragon, let me take you back to the palace. I will build you a crystal palace, and I can continue to be Miss Dragon's servant."

Ji Chaoxi refused to go no matter what, her face turning red with anger: "You build me a crystal palace right here, and I want to live in the forest."

What did she do wrong to him? She fed him, provided him with shelter, and even gave him two gems every month. Yet, because of his princely status, he refused to work for her.

His addiction to power is truly insane!

What a snobbish man.

Ji Chaoxi was so angry that she kicked Celeste out of the cave. She, Ji Chaoxi, did not welcome people who switched jobs.

Just as Ji Chaoxi was lost in sorrow, several loud bangs suddenly rang out in the sky, and fine fireworks exploded in the dark sky, bringing a lively atmosphere to the kingdom.

Ji Chaoxi saw the fireworks and burst into tears; her beautiful and inexpensive servant had run away...

She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Ji Chaoxi ran into the forest and solemnly announced to all the creatures in the forest.

"From now on, Celeste will be our enemy. When you see him, you must avenge me."

She had it all planned out: when Celeste came, the tree could stretch out its branches to trip him, and the birds could peck at him—this was her punishment for Celeste.

The bird perched on a branch, preening its feathers. It said earnestly, "Don't worry, Miss Dragon, we'll teach him a lesson."

As night fell, all the creatures in the forest fell asleep. The evening breeze rustled through the leaves. Bean Eyes, who had originally planned to keep watch all night, was now slumped on a branch, his chest and abdomen pulsating.

Celeste rode his horse quietly through the forest.

The forest was different tonight; the branches stretched out haphazardly, and some small animals blocked his path.

It must have been ordered by a forest priest.

Celeste tied his horse to a large tree nearby, then skillfully navigated around the obstacles in the forest and headed deeper into the woods.

DouDou heard the noise, sleepily raised its head, yawned, and went back to sleep.

Moonlight streamed through the cracks in the cave, and candles were lit on the walls, but it still looked somewhat cold and gloomy. The hat she had worn today was casually placed in a corner, just as it had been when he left yesterday.

Celeste lit a fire, which finally brightened the cave a bit. He put the hats and clothes from the rack into a bamboo basket and went to the river to wash them.

He placed the jewels he had brought today by her bedside so she could polish them herself tomorrow.

He made several new hats using the palace fabric, washed and dried them, and hung them on the wall.

"Celeste, you bastard..."

The person in bed was sleeping when suddenly mumbled something in a daze.

Celeste paused for a moment, looking at the person lying on the bed, fast asleep. She was nestled in the huge wool blanket, which was so soft it almost completely swallowed her up. In the warm yellow candlelight, her face was flushed with a faint blush.

Celeste picked up her daily routine, carefully combing her hair with a comb, the comb sliding slowly down her hair, making a soft rustling sound.

To be honest, returning to the palace was what he had always wanted most.

But he wasn't as happy as he had imagined when he got back. He kept subconsciously thinking about packing things, doing laundry, and finding gems for her.

Is being a servant addictive?

The next morning, Ji Chaoxi slept until noon, as even forest priests get one day off a week.

As soon as she got out of bed, she saw the jewels by the bed and the hat on the wall.

She snorted; she didn't care!

She wanted to find the gems herself.

So Ji Chaoxi went to find the mermaid again. Although what she cried out were pearls, pearls were still very valuable.

She didn't dare to directly force the mermaid to cry, but she had recently collected some tragic stories.

The sea shimmered under the sunlight. The mermaid sat on a large rock, her body weakly supported, her tail slapping the water.

Her shoulders were trembling violently, and pearls were piled up all around her.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and she ran over with the box in her arms. The mermaid cried while she picked up the pearls on the ground. The mermaid's crying speed was no match for her pearl-picking speed. Soon, the ground was empty.

"I want to see him..." the mermaid choked out.

But she didn't have human legs.

What should she do...?

The mermaid was heartbroken. When she saw Ji Chaoxi looking at her with pleading eyes, her cries filled with longing for her tears, the mermaid cried even louder.

Why is that dead dragon back again? She's so sad.

The mermaid looked at Ji Chaoxi's legs and cried even harder, "Why do you have legs?"

Ji Chaoxi looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Dragons do have legs."

But fish don't have legs to begin with, so creating them from scratch is indeed much more complicated.

The mermaid was even more upset upon hearing this. Why was she a fish? Why wasn't she a crab, an octopus, or a sea spider...?

They have many legs.

"Should I go to the witch? The prince is still waiting for me..." The mermaid was very sad.

Ji Chaoxi struggled to lift the box, almost tipping it over. She tried several times, but still sighed and poured some pearls out of the box.

This is too heavy.

"What if he already has someone he likes? Then all that leg work would have been for nothing!" Ji Chaoxi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The mermaid was taken aback by this possibility and was stunned.

"If you really like him, just tie him up and take him to the beach. That way you won't have to leave your family," Ji Chaoxi said.

The mermaid fell silent after hearing this; she had never imagined it could be like this.

However, kidnapping princes has always been a tradition among dragons, and she is related to them, so this should be feasible...

Just then, a loud bang suddenly sounded at sea, while the mermaid was still immersed in her own world.

"Help me! Help me! I am a prince!"

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the name "Prince"; her new servant had finally arrived.

She thought the prince was actually quite suitable to be her servant, and that he could even find her jewels.

If Celeste can do it, her new servant can certainly do it too!

In Ji Chaoxi's mind, princes and servants were completely synonymous.

She transformed into a dragon and dragged the man back to the forest. Before he could react, he was thrown to the ground.
