Monster Girl Development Master.

Piper nodded, and said cheerfully, "I'll remember~ But Piper wants to be like her sister too~"

Zhuang Sen affectionately ruffled the little one's hair, then nibbled on her little lips: "Is it okay now?"

The dog girl, blushing, instinctively felt shy and, unusually, didn't give a lively, loud reply, but instead quietly nodded.

Black screen transition.

Zhuang Sen appeared in a magnificent golden hall, where countless "dogs" sat on the ground. Their colorful ears and tails varied in size and thickness, but all were incredibly cute! Even the gloomy and aggressive rabid dogs were adorable! Unfortunately, their faces were still hidden, and Zhuang Sen remained floating in the air.

Deep within the main hall, a female dog with golden ears and a tail sat on a golden throne, gazing at Piper in the distance with a very serious yet adorable expression, as if facing some difficult problem.

But what kind of trials will this innocent little Piper encounter?

Zhuang Sen looked at Little Piper with curiosity. The little girl had received training on inheritance beforehand, so she wasn't nervous about the sudden change. Instead, she boldly walked forward. As she moved, the dog girls who had been squatting on the ground also started to move, and "Zhuang Sen" appeared beside them.

Just when Zhuang Sen thought that a scene unsuitable for children was about to appear, the dog girls suddenly picked him up and pushed him towards Piper, as if they were... offering Piper a tribute?

Piper proudly raised her little face, but she didn't accept it. She could tell at a glance that these were all fake and couldn't compare to her brother, Johnson. Moreover, as the great Dog Girl King, she couldn't steal her people's partners!

Her Majesty the Dog Queen swaggered forward, nearly causing Zhuang Sen, who was floating in the void, to drop his jaw.

Is this the Dog Girl Queen? She's terrifyingly powerful!

But she's my wife, so it's okay.

Just when Zhuang Sen thought Piper would reach the finish line so easily, the scenery suddenly changed, and he found himself before the Golden Throne. The dog-girl king forcibly embraced him and kissed him hard, meeting Piper's gaze. Zhuang Sen could even sense her smugness, as if she were showing off to Piper. So, Piper was actually jealous?

At this moment, little Piper puffed out his round face and started running.

What, sadness and fear?

No way! Piper is used to her brother Johnson being with her sister and the other sisters every day! But how dare a stranger try to steal her brother Johnson from Piper and her sisters! She has to be taught a lesson!

Anger surged up!

Piper is trapped in an invisible wall.

……

The magnificent golden palace vanished, replaced by a simply decorated wooden cabin. Zhuang Sen looked at little Piper with a peculiar expression, which earned him a smug look. He couldn't help but pinch the little guy's cute cheek: "Great Dog Girl King, what did you gain this time?"

The Dog Girl Queen puffed out her still-developing chest: "Paiper has gained a new ability! She can summon her subjects directly! And her bloodline has also improved, and what's more, she's learned a lot of new knowledge!"

"Amazing, amazing." Zhuang Sen patted the head of the dog-girl queen and asked for more details, finally getting the answer.

Piper has gained the ability to summon dog girls, which allows her to briefly summon the soul clones of dog girls deemed her subjects. Those dog girls who submit to her in the inheritance are also considered her subjects. However, the number is limited, and given Piper's limited bloodline power, it's not actually very strong, but it's still quite good.

She also gained some life skills and combat experience from dog girls, and with the significant improvement in her bloodline development, it was quite a great harvest.

Zhuang Sen patted Piper's head approvingly and looked at Celine: "Your Highness, it's your turn."

Zhuang Sen, eager to tease the Red Dragon Girl, failed to notice the glint of wisdom in the eyes of the Dog Girl King—dog girls are also monster girls, and their inherited knowledge includes…

……

Black screen transition.

Crimson light tore through the gloomy sky, thick, dark red magma flowed across the land, engulfing forests and cities, drying up rivers and life, and a ferocious behemoth raged and danced, proclaiming its dominance!

—In plain terms, it's like a volcanic eruption, leaving the land barren for miles, and a bunch of dragon girls dancing and screaming in the sky.

On the still-roaring summit of the volcano, a colossal red dragon, conservatively estimated to be a thousand meters long, soared and circled. From its ferocious, terrifying form, covered in scales and horns, one would never guess it was a monster girl. However, having unlocked the Red Dragon Encyclopedia, Zhuang Sen recognized her identity—the pinnacle of the Red Dragon race, the tyrant of the Red Dragons, the dragon that incinerates all things!

Unfortunately, Zhuang Sen is currently in a void state, so even if he knew, he couldn't help Celine. He can only hope that Celine's mentality won't be too badly affected... Although expecting a tsundere to stay calm is as unreliable as expecting the author to stop slacking off. But at least seeing Zhuang Sen being forced into a fight should be enough to get through it, since she should be used to it by now... right?

Amidst Zhuang Sen's trepidation, Celine also recovered from her shock, solemnly flapping her wings and taking her first step. Then, with a whoosh, a group of red dragon maidens flew down in front of Celine, blocking her way. Their blurry faces became clear, all of them beautiful and charming, but their expressions were fierce: "Newcomers? If you want to go up the mountain, you'll have to pay your toll."

Toll fees?

Well, it does fit the image of a red dragon quite well. The only problem is that Celine entered the legacy with nothing but a set of clothes. Maybe she brought a few gold coins with her?

Just as Zhuang Sen was pondering, Celine had already taken out her wallet from her bosom, but the Red Dragon Girl slapped her outstretched hand away: "I'm telling you, don't embarrass yourself by bringing out such cheap stuff. You've come this far, don't tell me you don't have any truly treasured possessions. At the very least, you must have a man, right? Hand it over and you can move on, you can go see the great Queen, burn all things, and destroy the dragons of the heavens. Then you can have whatever you want!"

Celine silently put her wallet away and calmly said, "Leaving aside treasures for now, I do have men..."

The red dragon women became visibly excited, even eagerly looking around. But clearly, they couldn't see Zhuang Sen in the void, so their expressions turned fierce again: "Hey, where's the man? Are you playing us?!"

Red Dragon Maiden, seemingly their leader, gestured to stop her underlings' intimidation, and said with a fake smile, "You lot, don't scare the newcomer. Who would be stupid enough to bring a man here? They'd probably die of heat on the way... But you're lucky to have met us, newcomer. We happen to have [Dragon Flame Grass]. Eating it will protect you from the heat. Come on, take us to find your man, and we can share some with you."

Having said that, the red dragon maiden licked her lips, looking impatient, no longer bothering to act. Although Zhuang Sen, through observation, was certain that they had actually been acting all along, like the Headless Horseman's legacy, only their acting was extremely refined. But ultimately, it wasn't as truly lifelike as the dwarf or centaur legions.

I wonder if Celine will be able to see through it beforehand...

Celine hadn't considered this, but she had already discovered what this illusion was testing her for. It wasn't her desire for Johnson, nor her sensitive inferiority complex, nor her worry about being worthless—she was a princess, a red dragon; these were things she never worried about, and wouldn't worry about. What she feared, or rather, her weakness, was whether she would only think of compromise and sacrifice, whether she was still with Johnson because she wanted to help Serafina.

In truth, she should be grateful for this legacy, for it helped her to finally and clearly reaffirm this point.

That is--

What the hell did that stray dog ​​dare to steal my man?!

Blazing flames swept across the sky!

Chapter 178: Sharing Book Records, Passing on the Harvest

[The Secretary Angel bloodline has been developed to the lower level, rewarding [Shared Book Catalogue] *1]

The system notification sounded, announcing the end of this long inheritance. Zhuang Sen immediately looked at Celine and then relaxed. Celine's expression and breathing were stable, and she was very happy. She was clearly not frustrated by the bloody battle and defeat in the inheritance. On the contrary, she had a sense of relief that her inner knot had been untied... In other words, she didn't seem so awkward and arrogant anymore.

"Zhuang Sen, are you worried about me?"

Celine smiled and tried to flirt with Zhuang Sen, but unfortunately, she was still too inexperienced!

Zhuang Sen wasn't arrogant, nor was he a virgin. Faced with this level of verbal teasing, he easily countered on the spot: "Yes, I'm very worried about my dear Princess~"

His gentle, almost cloying tone, and his sparkling, angelic face, instantly crushed the arrogant princess who was trying to take charge, making her blush and eliciting a burst of laughter.

Lisander laughed the loudest. The Duchess and the Princess seemed to dislike each other a bit, much like Mira and Angela. But Lisander's smugness didn't last long this time. Because Celine, contrary to her usual behavior, suddenly pounced on her and kissed Johnson twice right in front of her.

How dare that arrogant jerk?

Although the forest centaur had green fur, it wasn't a cuckold. In an instant, Lysander's face turned bright red. Seeing that the princess was about to stage the Grand Duke's betrayal ahead of schedule, Johnson quickly tried to calm her down: "Cerin, did you find anything else?"

Celine reluctantly released Zhuang Sen, licking her lips: "Besides the development of my bloodline, I also gained an ability called [Dragon Blood Boiling], which can enhance my physical attributes by up to three times. However, when using it, my blood will gradually heat up and boil, and in the worst case, I might burn myself to death."

"Then don't use it."

Zhuang Sen said directly, "Anyway, we don't lack this bit of fighting power, and besides, the Farau family doesn't need us to use our full strength."

Celine chuckled and nuzzled Zhuang Sen's face: "I know, I'm not stupid~"

"You'd better be." Zhuang Sen pinched Celine's cheek, trying to slap the fool who had been beating the entire Red Dragon Girl while insisting she wasn't stupid. Celine continued to grin innocently, managing to get away with it through her cuteness.

Zhuang Sen shook his head and kissed Lysander's puffed-out chest: "Lysander, what about you? What did you gain?"

Celine pricked up her ears.

Lysander glanced at Celine and smirked: "Increased bloodline development, some miscellaneous inherited knowledge, and a technique for breeding warhorses that can make them more intelligent and courageous."

Celine was dejected.

From the perspective of a bloodline inheritor, it would be better for her to directly acquire the ability, especially one that significantly enhances combat power. However, from a lord's perspective, the horse breeding technology, which boosts the combat effectiveness of all cavalry, is far superior to a combat ability with severe side effects. Especially since this combat ability also damages her body, the more Zhuang Sen values ​​her, the less likely he is to let her use it—isn't that the same as having nothing at all?

Zhuang Sen found it amusing, and Lysander laughed out loud until Zhuang Sen kissed her on the lips to silence her.

Lisander pursed her lips, which were now completely devoured of lipstick, and looked at her dear sister. Suddenly, she realized that there was no need to keep Piper by her side all the time. Piper was a big girl now and should have her own life.

Piper, who was peeking at the kissing, quickly lowered her head.

Mrs. Leah took everything in, smiled, and interjected, her beautiful black-stockinged legs casually stretching across the round table to trap Zhuang Sen's small foot: "Daddy Zhuang Sen, aren't you going to ask me what I've gained?"

This is what you call real flirting.

Zhuang Sen pressed his foot down on Lady Liya's black-stockinged legs, enjoying the silky feel, and asked, "So, what did you gain?"

"Not to mention the development of bloodline and general inherited knowledge, I also know how to make better use of spider silk. In the future, there won't just be white silk, and it won't just be that sticky thing."

The provocative tone could easily lead people astray, but Johnson remained calm because if it were truly a case of misinterpreting things, Lady Leah's reaction wouldn't have been like that, so what he said was rather normal.

Seeing that Zhuang Sen wasn't fooled, Madam Liya pouted. The beautiful and mature woman seemed to have truly transformed into an innocent young girl, but the way she made such an innocent and cute face only made her more alluring and seductive.

Lady Lia was delighted.

Zhuang Sen shook his head helplessly, feeling that ever since Piper came along, his wives had started to enjoy playing sneaky teasing games, leaving him in a dilemma. Now even Lady Leah had become mischievous.

Sigh, let's check the reward first.

Zhuang Sen opened the system to check the new rewards he had just received:

[Shared Book Catalog]

[A4 paper size, white and gold cover, appears to be around four hundred pages long]

[Effect: The shared bookbook consists of two types of pages: shared pages and record pages. Text and drawings written on the record pages will be synchronized to the shared bookbook itself and the shared pages paired with the record pages used. Absorbing divine energy can increase the number of book pages.]

The Secretary Angel dislikes going out, but needs to gather all sorts of knowledge, so...

Simply put, is it paper-based internet?

However, it would be quite good for use by the Dark Division. It would allow for real-time communication regardless of distance, making it much more useful than Shadow Crows or Carrier Pigeons, which are vulnerable to interception by enemies and prey on birds of prey.

Zhuang Sen was very satisfied with the reward, although he was still a little disappointed that it wasn't a nest anchor point.

……

"Cerine, I've got something good for you."

Zhuang Sen took out the [Shared Catalog] from the system, tore off five [Record Pages] according to the instructions, and handed them to everyone present, explaining the effect as well. There happened to be quill pens and ink in the room, and although there weren't five copies, everyone quickly wrote what they wanted on their own pages. Zhuang Sen, holding the [Shared Catalog], could indeed see their writing on the [Shared Pages].

Moreover, they were very intelligently separated, not mixed together. Zhuang Sen then tried tearing off five more [shared pages] and matching them with the [record pages] he had torn off earlier. This time, the things he had noted on the record pages appeared simultaneously on the [shared catalog] that Zhuang Sen was holding and the corresponding shared pages.

The amazing effects drew everyone's praise, and like Zhuang Sen, Lady Lia immediately thought about how useful this thing would be in intelligence organizations. Of course, the premise was that the users were loyal and trustworthy enough, but the monster girl bloodline warriors of the [Dark Side] were naturally trustworthy... If all else failed, she could just bring them back and let Zhuang Sen have his way with them.

But the one who liked the effect of the [Shared Book Catalog] the most and was the happiest was Celine. The princess held the two seemingly ordinary pieces of white paper as if they were some precious treasure.

Zhuang Sen smiled and put down the [Shared Book Catalog], then patted Celine's hair: "How about it? Now you don't have to worry about me forgetting you after we return to the capital, right?"

Chapter 179: The New Lamia

Yes, Celine needs to return to the capital.

She had only come on behalf of the King to bestow titles upon Johnson. Having stayed in Leon Territory for so long, far exceeding the planned schedule, she was bound to return to the capital to report. Unlike Lisander and Piper, who had already gained "Father's" approval and become Johnson's wives, she couldn't legitimately remain in Leon Territory indefinitely. On the other hand, to realize Johnson's plan to seize control of Farau Territory, the Bloodline Order, and the First Princess, Celine also needed to return to the capital to contact Serafina. Using ravens or carrier pigeons for such an important matter was far too unreliable.

So no matter how you look at it, Celine will be returning soon. But the lustful dragon girl, who has just tasted the sweetness of love, is naturally very reluctant to leave. Putting aside lust, monster girls only go into heat with their chosen partners. But not being able to see or contact Zhuang Sen makes Celine very unhappy.
