Su Nian and Anna didn't stay in the Holy Aulist Kingdom any longer.
After saying goodbye to the Holy Maiden and the witch Kaguya, they activated a teleportation spell to return to the Dragon's Nest.
Currently, Su Nian's body was weak.
Continuing to stay in the Holy Aulist Kingdom would actually be unsafe.
After all, there were still quite a few players' novice villages nearby.
Only the Silvermoon Forest was relatively safer.
Because the two nearby novice villages had already been destroyed by Su Nian.
If Sakura players wanted to attack the Silvermoon Forest again, they would have to travel a long distance.
...
After being away for several days, the Dragon's Nest had been fully renovated by the kobolds. They had even built a wider and thicker bedrock platform.
At this moment, Su Nian was listlessly coiled up on the bedrock platform.
Even his massive dragon head was laid flat.
His entire body ached faintly, like a little girl with a severe cold, without any strength, not wanting to move at all.
This feeling was all too familiar to Su Nian.
In his previous life during college, due to his weak constitution, he easily caught the flu every winter, followed by entering this kind of dazed state.
But back then, no one cared whether he lived or died.
His college roommates either teased him or played games, not even bothering to buy him medicine.
Now it was different.
Now Su Nian had a little treasure who took meticulous care of him every day.
"Brother~"
Just as he was thinking about his little treasure.
His little treasure returned.
Before she even appeared, Anna's soft and sweet call already sounded from outside the Dragon's Nest.
Su Nian lifted his dragon eyes slightly.
He saw Anna carrying a large bundle of various herbs and some cloth bags containing unknown items, flapping her purple-red wings, swaying as she flew to him.
When she landed, she almost lost her balance.
This was Anna's half-dragon form.
In her half-dragon form, Anna's strength attribute nearly doubled, and the power of her released magic would also be enhanced. She could even breathe dragon's breath.
However, this dragon's breath wasn't a breathing weapon, but was formed by magic elements, much less powerful than Su Nian's authentic dragon breath.
"Brother, are you awake?"
"Do you want to sleep a little more?"
Anna blinked her adorable peach blossom eyes, gently pressing her soft, fair face against Su Nian's dragon face.
"You don't feel as hot as before~"
"Brother, wait a bit longer. Anna will feed you medicine soon~"
As she spoke, she bent down to put the herbs on the ground, first kissing the black dragon's face, then folding her wings behind her.
In her half-dragon form, Anna also grew two dragon horns extending backward from both sides of her forehead.
However, compared to the black dragon's sharp and fierce horns.
Her dragon horns appeared much more delicate and cute.
They also felt smooth to the touch, without that hard and cold sensation.
As Anna ended her half-dragon form.
Her wings and dragon horns disappeared. Except for her golden vertical pupils and a few scales on her neck, she looked almost no different from her original appearance.
"Anna, what's the situation in the Dragon's Nest now?"
Su Nian watched Anna busily moving around and casually asked.
"It's fine. The monsters that died in battle have been buried, and those human soldiers who rebelled have also been dealt with."
Anna turned her head to look at Su Nian.
Then she dumped all the herbs she had found and the unknown objects from the cloth bags into a large iron pot.
This large iron pot was obtained from Celestine.
It was said to be the largest pot in the entire royal kitchen.
"Oh, and brother, that female mage is still alive."
"I heard Grey Wolf say that the female mage tried to commit suicide more than a dozen times, but was cleverly stopped by Banana Wolf each time, and ultimately failed to die."
Anna shook her head, somewhat sighing.
She wasn't feeling sorry for the female mage.
Rather, she was marveling at Banana Wolf's punishment methods. Now that human female mage's mental state was not quite normal.
"I see."
Su Nian nodded.
But his gaze was constantly focused on Anna's swaying little waist.
Because the princess dress wasn't very convenient, plus it was hot, Anna now only wore a small apron from Aulist when she was alone with him in the Dragon's Nest.
Naturally.
Her soft, slender waist was exposed.
As time passed.
A bitter herbal smell began to spread throughout the Dragon's Nest.
By the time Su Nian snapped out of his "form is emptiness" state, Anna was already using a stirring stick to stir the bubbling large iron pot that was emitting steam.
"Brother, it's almost ready, just wait patiently~"
Seeming to notice Su Nian's gaze.
Anna wiped the fine sweat on her pretty face and turned her head with a sweet smile to reassure him.
Looking at the large iron pot filled with dark green medicinal liquid, Su Nian fell silent.
He cast a Basic Insight spell on it.
[Anna's Loving Herbal Soup, containing full of love]
[Main ingredients: Ganlin Root, Starfire Leaf, Luotian Grass, Fire Aperture Snake Gallbladder, Silvermoon Wolf King's Heart, Silvermoon Centipede, Silvermoon Scorpion, Phantom Wolf Spider, Venomous Bee Honey, Licorice Leaf, Anna's Half-Dragon Blood]
[Analysis: Deadly poison for any creature, but highly nourishing for the host]
Su Nian: "...(′⊙ω⊙`)"
This nourishing herbal soup must come from dragon heritage.
Since Anna had taken over the dragon heart, as time passed, she with dragon bloodline would also gain various inspirations.
This simplified version of the nourishing soup was one of them.
Su Nian was familiar with this thing.
The original version should use the gallbladder of a deep-sea nine-headed snake and the heart of a howling moon celestial wolf, and the centipedes and scorpions were also high-grade materials.
For a black dragon, this stuff was indeed nourishing, because it was poisonous enough.
However, watching Anna vigorously stirring the medicinal soup, he couldn't help but feel a sense of incongruity.
Why did she look so much like the witch brewing medicine in fairy tales? Except this witch was replaced by an exquisitely cute little darling.
"Brother, the medicine is ready~"
While Su Nian was pondering.
Anna had already brought a bowl of green, black-smoke-emitting poisonous soup to Su Nian.
"Hehe, be good, brother, time to take your medicine~"
"This medicine seems very bitter, so Anna added lots and lots of honey. All the venomous bees around don't even have hives to live in anymore."
Good grief...
Su Nian silently mourned for the venomous bees for a second upon hearing this.
Then he turned his gaze to the bowl of soup.
Centipedes, spiders, scorpion tails...
But this was Anna's love!
So he would drink it without hesitation!
But such a small amount was far from enough.
"Anna, you know, with my enormous body size, you should bring the whole pot for me to drink..."
"Anna knows~"
Anna covered her mouth and smiled, her two dimples gently swaying, her pretty face blushing.
"But the first sip of medicine must be personally fed by Anna~"
"Come on, brother, lie down properly..."
"Oh, no, no, you need to lie on your back."
The weakened Su Nian could only let Anna do as she pleased. Finally, he curled up his dragon claws and lay on his back on the bedrock platform, exposing his big belly.
Anna took a sip of the bitter medicinal soup in her mouth and climbed onto the black dragon's chest.
She didn't find these scorpions, spiders, and such disgusting at all.
Because these were all things that could make her brother feel better.
The black dragon's body was very, very large, while Anna was very, very small. Even standing on the black dragon's chest, her petite body still couldn't reach the black dragon's mouth.
She had no choice but to activate her half-dragon form and fly into the air.
This time she finally could reach the black dragon's big mouth.
In the dim Dragon's Nest.
Sunlight shone in, illuminating two figures entwined together.
The half-elf with dragon wings gently cupped the dragon's chin with her slender hands.
She slightly squinted her eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered.
With herbs in her mouth, she gradually passed them into the dragon's mouth.
Everything around was peaceful.
Only outside the Dragon's Nest, there was the "rustle" of wind blowing through the forest.
Just like that cloudy night long ago.
Everything around was quiet.
In the "pitter-patter" sound of rain.
A not-so-large black dragon awkwardly held an unconscious elven girl. With hope, he carefully fed the herbs in his mouth to her, bit by bit. """
