Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi sent this whole bunch of messages.

Then the dragon answered her with two words.

"like"

However, she didn't say she liked it, while Zhenlong was very straightforward.

"No... Your Majesty, you're so direct, sometimes I really don't know how to answer."

Skadi was truly perplexed. What was all this about? Why could a true dragon say such things without hesitation?

"You said it yourself, you wouldn't say you hate someone you don't hate, and you wouldn't say you like someone you don't like."

"Then I'll go along with you and say that word, no problem."

"Because I like you, I can say that."

On the other end of the phone, Zhenlong was barely able to hold back his laughter.

Skadi, Skadi, you're always so aloof and composed in front of me.

Now I've finally found a situation you're not good at dealing with.

What Zhenlong said is true, but his attitude is ambiguous.

The whole thing was a teasing attitude. Even if Skadi really said she hated him, the dragon probably wouldn't be moved.

But that's normal. A true dragon isn't a child; it can completely control its emotions.

Moreover, before doing anything, they had already anticipated the worst possible consequences and were prepared to face them.

Therefore, as long as the worst-case scenario is not achieved, it is acceptable to the true dragon.

Besides, Skadi's reaction was really cute; she even looked a little flustered.

"I told you... Zhenlong was obviously just teasing you."

Why don't you listen to me?

Xiao Ai flew to her, put her hands on her hips, looked at Skadi, and said in a frustrated tone.

"...I'm so sorry."

Skadi shrugged and sighed.

"But I want to make it clear."

"It just seems that the true dragon is much more persistent than we thought."

"Then we'll have to be more careful."

What did she mean by those words? Perhaps only she herself knows.

“The true dragon’s intentions toward you are clearly not simple, but I don’t know exactly what they are.”

"Making you the Empress of the Great Yan is only the first step, but also the most important one."

"What will happen next is currently unclear."

Xiao Ai tried to analyze the true dragon's thoughts.

Unfortunately, in this world, beings of this caliber are beyond Xiao Ai's easy reach.

"Then let's wait until later."

"Anyway, there's plenty of time."

She was communicating with Xiao Ai, while Zhenlong, who had been laughing, stopped smiling and then sent a bunch of messages over.

“My dear Miss Skadi, I will not give up.”

"I swear on my identity as the True Dragon of Great Yan, as long as Miss Skadi does not reject me, I will pursue you for a day."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with pursuing true love; after all, it's my own choice."

The dragon's words left Skadi truly helpless.

If I had just lied and said I hated it earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

"So you should listen to me."

Xiao Ai shook her head, somewhat gloating over Skadi's current predicament.

This woman, she won't listen to me.

"True Dragon, it's late, you should rest."

"We'll discuss cooperation another day."

"Once everything is ready, we can begin."

What can we do now? The best way is to procrastinate.

"Go and get some rest, it's very late."

"I need to get up and take care of some matters."

Having done and said everything he wanted to do, the dragon decided not to bother Skadi anymore.

Knowing when to stop is a very important step.

Once you've mastered the rhythm, you can continue your strategy.

If you push too hard all at once, it will make the other person feel rebellious and disgusted.

By then, it will take an unknown amount of time to make up for it.

It could even directly lead to the failure of one's own actions, rendering everything meaningless.

After Skadi said she was going to rest, the dragon responded and sat on the bed.

"Things are getting interesting."

"Skadi, as the Doctor, and in your other identity, what are your thoughts now?"

"I am very curious."

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Zhenlong's eyes became deep.

P.S.: This chapter has 5000 words; today's update has 17000 words.

Chapter 59: The strategy guide is right here!

As the real dragon left the bed, a small, illusory dragon appeared behind it.

"Your Majesty, why do you favor her so much?"

The illusory little dragon was curious about the real dragon's choice.

"Because she deserves it."

"Furthermore, my choice is none of anyone else's business, so don't try to influence my decision."

"If you think it's possible, then give it a try."

"I also want to see who has such courage to challenge me..."

After Zhenlong finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.

The two maids guarding the door woke up at this moment. When they saw the real dragon opening the door, they were first stunned, and then bowed.

"Your Majesty, you should rest now."

The two maids were a little worried by their sudden appearance at this time.

"It's alright, accompany me to the ancestral hall."

The main hall of the ancestral temple is not actually a place for worshipping the true dragon ancestors.

However, that place is a very special area, and only the current true dragons and those who will be identified as true dragons in the future can go there.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although I don't know why His Majesty wants to go to the ancestral temple in the middle of the night, since it is the true dragon's request, as a maid, the only thing I can do is to agree.

"By the way, have there been any Originium behemoths running rampant outside lately?"

The dragon was wearing a long robe, with his hands hidden underneath.

Looking around at the scene, Zhenlong suddenly asked a question.

"Yes, giant beasts often appear outside."

"However, they pose little threat to us; they are basically dealt with by the guards of the imperial city."

"But if the number is large and they launch a general attack on the imperial city, even if the imperial city can be moved, it may not be safe."

The maids around the true dragon are not ordinary maids. They know most of the secrets and can help the true dragon handle some matters and make some decisions at certain times.

Of course, these decisions were all approved by the true dragon.

They could be considered the closest confidants of the true dragon, and to some extent, even some ministers could not gain the true dragon's trust.

Besides being trustworthy, their abilities are also top-notch; they are definitely not just all show and no substance.

They also bear the responsibility of delivering the true message to the real dragon, preventing slander from malicious people.

This also prevents anyone from continuously transmitting incorrect information to the true dragon, keeping the entire upper echelon in the dark.

Therefore, there is no need to question the answers the true dragon received when asking them these questions.

"It seems we need to prepare some powerful defensive weapons."

The dragon's mind flashed back to the so-called "mecha" that Skadi had given him.

If we can really produce them, we won't have to worry about these giant beasts at all, right?

After all, once these mechs are produced, it doesn't matter if the pilot is an ordinary person.

The True Dragon knew very well how much this would increase combat power.

Moreover, the emergence of mechs also signifies the emergence of a strategic weapon.

In the future, the Great Yan will embark on a path that allows it to intimidate all sides even without war.

When that day comes, the Great Yan will be able to maintain peace for a very long time until the next reform arrives.
