114: The "unlucky" wallet and Bella

Chapter 114: The "Unlucky" Wallet and Bella

Clarissa didn't care at all. She lightly wiped her fingers, grabbed the box, and started eating immediately.

After such a brief and light contact of wiping her fingers, Lan Fu, whose face remained calm but whose heart was already excited, smiled even more broadly.

However, the mark on his left hand subtly shifted, and his smile suddenly froze.

Because the Dragon he had contracted told him that this beautiful woman was a "Dragon"!

Gulp. Lan Fu's smile slightly receded.

This was a Dragon right in front of him! Her strength was unknown, but it was probably not low. Most importantly, Lan Fu was afraid of being drained dry during mating... That was a Dragon!

He was just an ordinary Dragon Rider. Although the Dragon he had contracted was also a female Dragon, it was just a simple contractual relationship.

His own strength was merely that of a small, Level 5 Dragon Rider. Forget it, forget it. He had confirmed with his eyes that this was a Dragon he couldn't afford to provoke.

Lan Fu smiled and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? I can buy it for you!"

Although he couldn't provoke her, he could build a good relationship! This female Dragon clearly seemed new to the world, as she looked curious about everything, so she must be a "new Dragon."

But looking at her human form, she must be at least a young adult Dragon, right?

Dragons transforming into humans would also undergo changes in appearance, such as loli (shota), big loli, teenager, young adult, and adult forms. Of course, they generally stayed fixed, and middle-aged or elderly appearances rarely occurred.

One reason was their longevity, and another was... that it would be ugly!

"Sure!" Clarissa readily agreed. With such a free wallet, she naturally had to make good use of it.

Why not try everything?

"..." Lan Fu felt his wallet was about to suffer.

Clarissa ate while asking Lan Fu all sorts of questions, which further confirmed to Lan Fu that she was a Dragon "fresh out of her boudoir."

Lan Fu and his contracted Dragon communicated constantly in their sea of consciousness, which was another benefit of the contract.

The Dragon Lan Fu had contracted was a Wind Dragon, primarily using wind-elemental power. She was an adult Dragon. What she was communicating with Lan Fu now was her desire to meet Clarissa, as she was a new Dragon and very curious about her identity. She told Lan Fu to invite her over for a chat, as she was currently rushing towards their location.

After Lan Fu took Clarissa around to eat, he acted as a ruthless payment machine.

Clarissa was very satisfied and enjoyed her meal. After experiencing the delicacies of this world, she also learned a lot of information about this world from Lan Fu.

For example, the city she was currently in was one of the three major cities of the human kingdom.

That's right, there were no "countries" in this world, only three major cities. To put it another way, these three major cities could actually be considered three countries.

This city was called Matilda City.

The ruler, or rather, the one who protected this city, was a Dragon named Matilda.

This Dragon was rumored to be an Ancient Dragon, and some even said she was an Archaic Dragon.

However, no one knew the specifics, as it was too long ago, and she had rarely appeared, but her protection was indeed present.

The other two cities were the same.

Then, there were also specialized Dragon Rider Academies here, and many Dragon Riders came from the Matilda Dragon Rider Academy.

The contract between a Dragon Rider and a Dragon was actually a symbiotic relationship.

The most important reason why powerful Dragons would form Dragon Riders with humans was that it could help their own growth.

The "Dragon Power" unique to humans could help Dragons grow faster, and even Dragon Riders with good talent could make a Dragon's bloodline purer.

This was also why Dragon Riders existed, and why humans could survive and thrive in this world full of Dragons.

Because of this, coupled with the fact that human lifespans were limited, even becoming a Dragon Rider would only extend one's life by one or two hundred years at most, still not as long as a Dragon's.

Dragons generally lived for thousands of years or more.

Of course, because "talent" was unknown, after humans cultivated "Dragon Power," they could form a contract. Then, this contract depended on whether you could find a Dragon to contract with.

One was compatibility, and the other was chemistry.

Of course, regardless of good or bad, Dragon Power was an excellent "catalyst" for Dragons.

So, even if a Dragon discovered that the contractor's talent was poor, it didn't matter. They could just "contract" another one, or wait until the current one died of old age.

That's right! Dragons did not have the "concept" of only being able to contract one.

Of course, the number of "contracts" also depended on the Dragon's own endurance and strength.

After all, a large part of a contractor's strength came from using the Dragon's power combined with their own Dragon Power to fight.

The specific situation was a bit complex and related to the rules of this world.

"Um... are you full?" Lan Fu asked Clarissa, and as soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself!

Are you kidding me! This was a Dragon! How could she be full with just this much food! If Clarissa wanted to continue eating... his expenses today were already a lot... Although his family background was good, he didn't have much money left on him!

If he kept feeding her for free, he would have to eat dirt in the coming days.

"It's alright~" Clarissa nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you for your hospitality!"

At this moment, a silver-haired girl suddenly ran towards them.

"Lan Fu!" The silver-haired girl greeted Lan Fu, but Clarissa noticed that her gaze was mostly on her.

"Bella, you're here! Um, Clarissa, let me introduce you, this is my contracted Dragon, Bella." Lan Fu quickly introduced her to Clarissa.

"Hello! I'm Bella!" Bella extended her hand to Clarissa.

She loved making friends everywhere, especially Dragon friends.

She believed that having many friends meant she would have someone to look out for her wherever she went and could be hosted, getting free food and drinks.

At the same time, she could call for backup in a fight.

This world was quite free and open, after all, it was a world where Dragons were supreme.

The whole world was quite free, with a Jurassic feel to it. Although there was a specialized power system and an entire ecological chain, in reality, a specialized, unique world civilization had not yet formed.

One could only say that it was still a relatively "primitive" high-power world.

Conflict was the norm, various relationships were complex, and there were numerous large and small circles.

"Hello! I'm Clarissa." Clarissa nodded to Bella, who clearly seemed very familiar.

"Hehe! Alright, Lan Fu, you can go now!" Bella waved her hand at Lan Fu.

"Mm, I should go to class too! I still need to cultivate today!" Lan Fu nodded. He had originally come out during his break, thinking he had encountered a possible "love interest."

It turned out he had encountered a Dragon.
