What should you do when your little darling wants a hug?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
Mainly because it's too tempting, Su Nian was worried that if he punched a few more holes in the bedrock platform, how would he sleep then!
Looking at Anna, raising her soft little hands, tiptoeing, her pretty face blushing, eyes slightly closed, looking so delectable, Su Nian had long tossed aside any thoughts of reciting scriptures or mantras for clarity.
At this moment, there was no talk of emptiness or detachment.
There was blushing, heartbeats, bewilderment, an inability to look directly, and a sense of fondness.
Hug!
With this thought, Su Nian carefully extended his dragon claws to hold Anna against his chest. However, his size was indeed a bit too large for Anna.
Though it was called a hug, it was more like Su Nian pressing Anna against his chest, an act that appeared both warm and comical, as if Su Nian was sticking a sticker to his chest.
But Anna didn't mind.
She tried her best to spread her little hands, wanting to properly embrace her dragon brother.
Once completely enveloped by Su Nian's chest armor and dragon claws, she let out a contented hum, a sweet smile appearing on her adorable face.
"More hugs, brother, more hugs~"
Anna tilted her pinkish-white face up at Su Nian, squinting her eyes, fluttering her eyelashes, and pouting her red lips.
"Bang!"
A loud noise sounded, and Anna opened her eyes in surprise, stunned for a moment, then she saw the embarrassed and helpless face of the black dragon.
"Anna, this…"
Su Nian was about to explain, but Anna took over the conversation.
"Hehe, brother, Anna knows, you are testing the kobolds' construction skills, testing if the rock platform they built is sturdy enough, right?"
"Ah yes, yes, exactly, sigh... this platform is really not sturdy enough, troublesome."
Anna couldn't help but chuckle at Su Nian's serious nonsense.
Her rosy lips lifted slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, her somewhat baby-fat cheeks showing a hint of blush, looking both adorable and slightly coquettish.
Her bright peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, her brows spreading with laughter, lingering for a long time.
Su Nian was stunned, dragon saliva dripping onto the ground.
"Brother? Is Anna pretty?"
"Pretty, pretty."
"Do you like it?"
"Like, like."
"Then why not give Anna a kiss, hmph ╯^╰"
As Anna spoke, she hugged Su Nian's neck tightly, standing on the broad dragon claw, tiptoeing gently.
Although she was coyly asking Su Nian to kiss her, she herself took the initiative to pucker her red lips and kiss Su Nian on the cheek.
"Though it feels strange, Anna is very happy."
Seeing Su Nian's dumbfounded look, Anna lowered her eyes with a smile, resting her forehead against Su Nian's nose.
"In the future, when brother grows bigger and bigger, Anna might not be able to kiss you anymore, so while brother isn't as big as a mountain yet, I need to seize the time…"
[Also seizing the time of life passing]
Su Nian didn't speak, he responded to Anna's attachment with his licking dragon behavior.
"prprprprprprpr!"
...
[Anna Hathaway Favorability +3, Current Favorability 81 (Desire to Possess)]
[Congratulations to the host for reaching the third stage of favorability, acquiring Advanced Devour, special skills can be directly upgraded, upgrade solidified]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining 5000 system points]
Advanced Devour: Devouring prey can promote physical growth, without age restrictions.
Additionally, based on this, devouring different substances can provide different enhancements. (For example, devouring iron ore will enhance the iron element content within the host's scales)
System prompts appeared one after another in his mind, but Su Nian had no time to pay attention, as he was quite busy now.
"prprprprprprpr…"
...
Half an hour later.
Anna finally finished washing her face.
She was physically weak and somewhat sleepy.
Now she lay on Su Nian's belly, sleeping soundly.
Her pretty face was serene, her willow brows relaxed, and a sweet smile hung at the corners of her mouth.
It was midnight, with faint insect chirps around.
Occasionally, a cool breeze would drift into the dragon's nest, lifting the long hair at the girl's forehead.
Su Nian lay sprawled on the rock platform, his large dragon wings gently covering Anna.
The Silvermoon Forest was quite cold in the latter half of the night, so he covered Anna with an extra layer of bear skin.
To be honest, apart from those foolish white dragons, almost no dragon would adopt such a sleeping posture, as the dragon's belly is considered a more vulnerable area.
And dragons are most defenseless when sleeping, most dragons would adopt a curled-up position when sleeping.
This posture only exposes their back armor to the outside, with the belly pressed against the ground, providing a very secure sleeping posture.
However, Su Nian now felt it didn't matter, as long as his darling was happy.
After all, he still had half a human soul.
So lying on his back to sleep wasn't uncomfortable, it was even more comfortable than curling up.
However, Su Nian wasn't in the mood to sleep at the moment, he was counting the gains from this time.
The over 500 cheap laborers captured and the large amount of standard human equipment picked up were set aside for now.
During the previous battle, he and his subordinates killed over a thousand soldiers in total.
Most of these soldiers were below the first rank, each providing him with 2-5 system points.
Plus a small number of soldiers above the first rank, Grand Knight Weimons, Grand Mage Mei Magogoko, this time by killing the enemy, Su Nian gained over 7000 system points.
Adding the system points gained from Anna's favorability increase, Su Nian now had over ten thousand system points remaining.
These over ten thousand system points could support him to immediately complete the second stage "Advanced Scale Density" and third stage "Advanced Scale Strength" modifications, and besides, his Devour skill had also upgraded to Advanced.
"Can enhance myself by devouring substances? Sounds quite powerful…"
Su Nian gently scratched his chin.
Then he extended his dragon claw to the edge of the rock steps, exerted a little force, with a "crack", pinched off a piece of hard rock.
"If devouring iron ore is useful, then devouring rocks should also be useful, right?"
With this thought, Su Nian casually threw the rock into his mouth, "crunch crunch" chewing it.
Dragons eating dirt isn't that unusual.
Many metallic dragons not only eat dirt but also eat metals, with the purpose of increasing their scale strength.
Chromatic dragons can also eat dirt and metals, but the effect is very poor, eating too much easily causes constipation, and for them, the taste of dirt and metal is also very bad.
After all, chromatic dragons' habits are mainly organic, they wouldn't eat dirt unless absolutely necessary.
So nasty, no taste!
Su Nian spat out the rock, sprinkled some flavor enhancer on it, then threw it back into his mouth.
This time it was much more acceptable.
As Su Nian chewed, he didn't feel any sense of fullness, it was as if there was a black hole in his stomach, already absorbing the rock.
Ding! Devoured bedrock 537g, scale petrification strength increased by 0.0001%, body rigidity increased by 0.0002%, speed decreased by 0.0005%
"Uh, seems like I can't just eat anything?"
Su Nian was slightly stunned, quickly spitting out the portion of rock he hadn't swallowed yet. """
