Dragon Clan: Starting with the Azure Dragon Fruit

Nono tilted her head back, gazing at the starry sky, her eyes reflecting the shimmering starlight.

Lin Yuan didn't really understand why Nuonuo would tell him this story out of the blue.

But he was enjoying the atmosphere. Nuonuo's voice had a girlish ethereal quality that was very pleasant to listen to.

Therefore, he focused intently on being the audience.

Nono didn't continue speaking. She slowly leaned over and rested her head on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

A few strands of red hair were blown away by the wind, brushing against Lin Yuan's collarbone, sending a tingling sensation through him.

“Back in Egypt…” Nono closed her eyes.

"I told you about the visions I saw during the 3E exam."

Lin Yuan remained silent, acting as a cushion, waiting for her to continue.

"Actually, my first psychic vision wasn't in the 3E exam room. What I saw in the exam room was just a memory from that time."

Lin Yuan spoke up at the opportune moment, asking, "When was that? What did you see?"

Nono remained silent for a few seconds.

“When I was very young, I saw my mother lying in bed, and then... a shadow appeared in the room, took her soul, and then she died.”

"The scene was far more real than you can imagine. I not only saw someone take my mother's soul away, but I could even see the person's face clearly."

Lin Yuan could feel that Nuonuo, who was leaning on his shoulder, was crying, and her warm tears fell onto his shoulder.

He reached his hand behind her back, put his arm around her shoulder, and patted her gently a few times, offering silent comfort.

Nono seemed unaccustomed to it yet; she revealed her vulnerable side, sniffled, and quickly composed herself.

The mountaintop fell silent again, and just when Lin Yuan thought the two of them would continue stargazing,

Chen Motong proved once again that she was never a girl who played by the rules.

She suddenly lifted her head from Lin Yuan's shoulder and stared straight at him. Her dark red eyes were still moist, and her eye sockets were red, but they were exceptionally bright, even a little aggressive.

Nono just stared at him, as if trying to confirm something.

"Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan was a little confused when he was suddenly asked to use his full name.

Do you like me?

The little witch suddenly launched a straight shot.

Lin Yuan really didn't expect Nuonuo to ask so directly. He did want to confess to Nuonuo tonight, but all the preparations and roundabout ways he had prepared in his mind were useless because of Nuonuo's words.

But then he met those eyes and nodded frankly: "Yes."

Nuonuo pressed on relentlessly, "Then tell me, what do you like about me? Tell the truth!"

Lin Yuan looked at her; the moonlight and the distant car lights outlined a soft contour on her face, making her very beautiful.

He decided to answer Nuonuo in the most straightforward and direct way: "I like your slim waist, long legs, red hair, beautiful face, and dignified temperament."

Nuonuo was clearly stunned by Lin Yuan's four-character parallel sentences. She was prepared to hear all sorts of answers, but she never expected Lin Yuan to answer so... bluntly.

She couldn't hold back her tears and burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"So it's all just lust at first sight?"

"What else?" Lin Yuan said matter-of-factly.

"Do you expect me to say something against my conscience because I think your inner world is more special than others?"

"Even if you want to observe your inner world, you must first be attracted by your appearance."

Nono laughed at his twisted logic and punched him lightly: "You really don't know how to talk."

She moved closer, her dark red eyes gleaming with a sly light, like a little fox ready to play a trick on someone.

“What if in the future,” she deliberately drawled.

"What if you meet a girl with a slimmer waist, longer legs, and prettier red hair than me? Would you then fall for someone else?"

"In short! That was too perfunctory! I'll give you another chance to answer again!"

Nono tried to put on the airs of a little witch, but her eyes, which darted around nervously, betrayed her inner panic.

Looking at the smiling face before him, Lin Yuan suddenly felt speechless.

He leaned forward, getting closer to Nuonuo, so close that they could feel each other's breath, making her instinctively want to lean back.

But Lin Yuan was one step ahead of her. He placed his palm on the girl's cheek, his fingertips threading through her dark red hair, and pulled her towards him.

Nuonuo stared wide-eyed at Lin Yuan, who was so close to her. Her bright eyes were filled with panic, but she didn't struggle.

The next second, her lips were sealed.

At first touch, Lin Yuan only felt a slight coolness, but it was quickly replaced by an incredible softness.

Nono froze on the spot, her eyelashes trembling uneasily as they brushed against his face.

Gradually, the girl's tense body relaxed, and she obediently closed her eyes, changing from being stiff at the beginning to occasionally giving a clumsy response.

At this moment, only one thought remained in Lin Yuan's mind:

Sure enough, even the toughest girl is soft when you kiss her.

Chapter 119 again?

Lin Yuan returned to his dormitory at noon the next day.

Before he even entered the room, he heard strange "humming" sounds coming from inside the dormitory.

Upon entering, one sees Fingel shirtless, with two thick stacks of dictionaries strapped to his back with several leather straps, doing one-arm weighted push-ups.

A small puddle of water had accumulated on the floor beneath him, indicating that he had been training for quite some time.

Hearing Lin Yuan open the door, Fingel's arms went limp, his stomach pressed against the floor, and he gasped for breath.

"Junior brother... phew... not coming home last night." Fingel couldn't even catch his breath before he started gossiping.

"That's a success. The battle last night must have been extremely intense."

Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted back to the mountaintop last night.

After the sudden, long kiss, the usually fearless little witch broke down in a rare display of composure.

When their lips parted, Nuonuo's breathing was a little disordered, her dark red eyes were covered with a thin layer of moisture, and the blush on her cheeks could not be dispelled even by the mountain breeze.

As if afraid that Lin Yuan might suddenly kiss her, she buried her face in Lin Yuan's chest and calmed herself down for a while.

When she looked up again, the tears in her eyes hadn't completely dissipated. Nuonuo's ears were red, and she didn't say anything. She just leaned over and gave Lin Yuan's shoulder a light bite, like a kitten venting its emotions.

After that, the two of them just leaned against each other, enjoying the mountain breeze and watching the stars, and nothing particularly outrageous or erotic happened afterward.

Only when their eyes met occasionally, and the atmosphere was just right, did they naturally kiss a few more times.

It wasn't until late at night that Nuonuo finally fell into a deep sleep, leaning on his shoulder. Lin Yuan remained in the same position, sitting motionless all night.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that he gently woke Nuonuo, and the two drove back to school along the winding mountain road, all the way to the girls' dormitory.

When they parted, Nuonuo took two steps up the stairs, then suddenly stopped and turned around.

The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the building and fell on her face, making her dark red eyes almost transparent.

The girl put her hands behind her back, smiled at Lin Yuan, and spoke in a light and bright tone.

See you tomorrow, boyfriend.

After saying that, he turned around and ran into the dormitory building.

However, Lin Yuan naturally did not intend to share these details. He simply nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement with Fingel's guess.

Seeing Lin Yuan admit it so readily, Finger immediately got excited, rushed over in a few steps, moved a chair, sat opposite Lin Yuan, and his eyes shone.

"Explain in detail how the confession was made? Who spoke first, and were any special privileges used?"

"What privileges?" Lin Yuan was a little confused by Fingel's question. Why would you need special privileges to date?

"It's a reward for a day of freedom. The first girl you pursue at school can't reject you, and she has to maintain a relationship with you for at least three months..."

But before he could finish speaking, he shook his head again.

"No, no, that's definitely useless. You and Chen Motong are already in love, why would you need this privilege?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Fingel, wondering how even he could tell that he and Chen Motong were in love.

It's one thing that Chu Zihang, that expressionless gossip, could see through the clues, but how come he could also see through the useless senior brother who only thinks about eating and sleeping?

It's as if the whole world knows he and Nuonuo are in a relationship, and he's the only one who's still acting like a fool, hesitating.

However, he didn't intend to continue the conversation. He had witnessed the professionalism of the head of the news department before, and if he had said even a little more today, the pinned post on the Night Watchers forum tomorrow would have been, "Shocking! The Late-Night Romance of an S-Rank Dragon Slayer."

It's true that Fingel has become more reliable lately, but his ability to spread gossip has certainly not diminished. If he learns even the slightest detail, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Yuan decided to ignore Fingel, walked to the wardrobe, took out a change of clothes, and prepared to take a shower.

The reason Nono said "see you tomorrow" earlier was because she received a text message from Angers on her way back, in which the old principal once again invited her to his office for afternoon tea.

Lin Yuan originally didn't want to go. He had just confirmed his relationship with Nuonuo, and it was easy to choose between the old man and the beautiful girl. However, considering the space equipment that Jiude Mai mentioned, he decided to go.

To find the alchemy master in Kassel, one inevitably has to get through to the principal; one can only make do with a perfunctory visit when one has a spare moment.

However, just before entering the bathroom, something suddenly flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

He turned to Fingel and asked, "Senior, are you acquainted with Miranda?"

Fingel was wearing an oversized T-shirt that hadn't been washed in ages. When he heard Lin Yuan ask a question, he poked his head out from the collar with a very strange expression on his face.

"Hmm, junior brother, that's not fair of you." He straightened his collar, speaking earnestly.

"You've just won over Chen Motong, and you're already starting to care about Miranda. What's that old Chinese saying again? Right, you're 'eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.' Young man, even if you're hot-tempered, you still need to take care of your health."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yuan was speechless, puzzled by his thought process.

"I feel like she's been acting a bit strange lately."

"What's wrong with her? Why are you so concerned about her?" Fingel asked curiously.

Lin Yuan went to the bathroom and turned on the tap. That's the downside of the dormitory bathroom; it takes a while for hot water to come out.

"After I returned from this mission, I found that she seemed to be avoiding me."

“She was the one who introduced me to Kassel College. When I was penniless, she gave me a cell phone. In any case, she was my ‘angel investor.’ I was wondering if she had run into some trouble recently but was too embarrassed to ask. Senior, you have a lot of connections at school, can you help me find out? If it’s not a big deal, I’ll help her sort it out.”

After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Fingel breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest to assure him, "It's no big deal, I'll let you know tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Yuan closed the bathroom door, and the hot water from the showerhead washed away the fatigue of a sleepless night.

After taking a shower, Lin Yuan changed into clean clothes, waved to Fingel, and went out the door.

Most students in Kassel might not have the honor of having afternoon tea with the principal even once in four years, but he had already had it twice in just one month of enrollment.

But Lin Yuan didn't feel any honor; instead, he found the old principal to be a nuisance.

I caused him a lot of trouble last time he came, so I hope I won't have to bother him again this time.

After pushing open the door, Angers sat opposite the desk with tea set laid out beside him. However, compared to last time, there weren't many desserts on the table this time, only a small dish of lemon cookies.

Seeing Lin Yuan enter, the old principal picked up his teacup, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "I'm so sorry to disturb you young lovers' romance. I specially called you here to have tea with this old man. Seeing the vibrant energy of you young people always reminds me of a long time ago..."

As the de facto controller of Kassel College, Norma had complete access to his surveillance. Lin Yuan and Nono's absence last night could not be hidden from the old man.

Before Lin Yuan could reply, Angers blew away the steam rising from the black tea, and a ripple of memories appeared in his eyes.

"I remember an afternoon in Cambridge more than 100 years ago, when the sun seemed just as nice as it is today. Girls strolled on the lawn under their parasols, and young men would even fight on the banks of the River Cam to get the first dance from the girl they liked at the weekend dance. Youth is always so charming, full of inexhaustible enthusiasm, and even the air smells sweet."

Angers seems to want to continue reminiscing about those bygone years and enjoying the composure of being an elder.

But Lin Yuan had no intention of cooperating with him at all: "Since the principal knows it's a disturbance, why doesn't he come to me tomorrow?"

Angers was taken aback by the question and could only put down his cup awkwardly, coughing to cover his embarrassment.

"Did you know that many students would turn down dates or even give up multi-million dollar deals just to have afternoon tea with me?"

"Then go find them," Lin Yuan said, pouring himself a cup of tea and getting straight to the point.

"So, what did the principal want to see me about today?"
