CH 5: Celeste Is Pregnant

Until the moment the dragon left, Celeste couldn't believe what she had just experienced.

It's really… too dreamy.

The giant dragon didn't kill herself but took her as a monk instead?

"Chief Chris, can we still eat this human?"

The Gnoll lightly nudged Chris' arm with his elbow.

Boom!

Chris angrily punched his younger brother next to him. "Is there something wrong with your brain?! She is already the partner of His Majesty Xi Ye. You guys better respect her! Otherwise, if His Majesty kills you, don't blame me!"

"Understood!"

Finally, the rest of the monsters reacted at this time.

They realized Ariana Celeste's current status.

Seeing that His Majesty had left temporarily, the monsters resumed eating the corpses on the ground.

"Dear Mistress Ariana Celeste, I apologize for killing your mount."

Chris gnawed off the hard bone in his mouth and walked up to Ariana Celeste to apologize.

Apologies to the gnoll who had just killed Ariana Celeste's horse.

Who would have thought that Ariana Celeste would become their mistress in the end?

If they had known, they would never have allowed their group to kill her mount.

"No… it doesn't matter."

Ariana Celeste still felt a little unreal.

She stiffly shook her head.

Surviving was a stroke of luck.

She wouldn't become arrogant and domineering just because she had become the companion of the red dragon and the mistress of this group of monsters.

"Little brats! Finish your meal quickly! Once you're full, take Mistress Ariana Celeste and leave. Don't make His Majesty Xi Ye wait too long!"

Chris, upon seeing Ariana Celeste, was no longer angry and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this human mistress did not hold them accountable.

On the other side,

Xi Ye was not hungry. After confirming that Ariana Celeste was willing to be his partner, he flew far away alone to observe the nearby plains and forests.

He concluded that it was an uninhabited land.

He pondered whether to rebuild his territory there.

Although it was a little closer to Katrina, that witch, becoming stronger would also provide the best opportunity for revenge.

He could strike back at her in an instant.

However, if Katrina intended to expand again, it might lead to another conflict.

After all, the distance was too close.

To ensure safety, he decided to stay away.

But not too far away, just enough to maintain a controlled distance.

"His Majesty Xi Ye! We're here!"

Chris led the monsters as they caught up at that moment.

Ariana Celeste ran at the front, panting and with a ruddy complexion.

As a mage, her physical strength naturally paled in comparison to this group of monsters.

If it weren't for the consideration of waiting for a mistress, Chris would have brought the jackals to catch up.

Deliberately slowing down the monsters' pace and letting Ariana Celeste run at the front was a way to highlight her identity as the mistress.

"Ariana Celeste, you said you are the princess of the Kingdom of Yalei?"

Xi Ye glanced at the beautiful girl behind him.

When Ariana Celeste was accepted as a partner earlier, she roughly told Xi Ye about her background.

Revenge? Interesting.

Coincidentally, he also had unresolved revenge.

"Yes, Xi… His Majesty Xi Ye."

Ariana Celeste nervously nodded.

It was her first time facing a dragon. How could she summon the courage to look directly at him?

Although the dragon said that by becoming his partner, she could survive and seek revenge, who knows if the dragon was joking?

The green dragon, one of the five-colored

dragons, was known for playing games with intelligent creatures.

"Do you have a map with you?" Xi Ye asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty Xi Ye," Ariana Celeste immediately understood the meaning behind Xi Ye's question.

She quickly took out a map from the pocket in the middle of her skirt.

The handwriting on the map was in the common language of the mainland, and Xi Ye could understand it.

From the map, Xi Ye gained a rough understanding of the nearby forces, plains, and mountains.

Indeed, the human map was more convenient.

In the end, Xi Ye set their destination on a mountain not far away.

It was situated at a distance from the so-called Kingdom of Yalei, just far enough from that witch Katrina to give him time to develop.

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar reverberated throughout the world.

Xi Ye spread his huge red dragon wings and gently grabbed Ariana Celeste in his claws.

He led the remaining monsters toward the destination he had chosen.

...

Two days later,

"Your Majesty Xi Ye, as per your instructions, the monsters have been organized," Chris respectfully kneeled in front of Xi Ye to report the situation.

After a long journey of a day, they had finally arrived at a place called the Dokafa Mountains.

The jackals had spent a whole day digging a cave for the red dragon to inhabit.

"Well, Chris, next you will lead the remaining monsters to attack the surrounding monster tribes. The reputation of the Xi Ye clan will surely spread throughout the Dokafa Mountains."

The number of gnolls and werewolf monsters in front of them was simply not enough.

A true young red dragon needed to control at least a thousand monsters.

Previously, Xi Ye had nearly two thousand monsters under his command.

It was a pity that they had been killed by the Katrina clan.

Now, expansion was necessary.

"Yes, Your Majesty Xi Ye!" Chris was elated from the depths of his heart.

He understood that only by serving the Red Dragon well could he earn the Red Dragon's rewards.

After Chris departed, Ariana Celeste slowly entered the cave.

"His Majesty Xi Ye," Ariana Celeste's voice was filled with nervousness as she stood in front of the dragon.

She secretly gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands.

"Come closer," Xi Ye raised his head and beckoned.

"I understand," Ariana Celeste anticipated what would happen next.

Xi Ye extended his wings, and a faint aura of majesty emanated from him.

This was to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed by other monsters.

Without uttering a word, Xi Ye cast some protective magic within the cave, preventing monsters from intruding.

Looking at the red dragon before her, Ariana Celeste couldn't fully comprehend what she saw. A blush instantly appeared on her fair and delicate face.

...

In the following month,

The wolves, led by Chris, launched a relentless invasion on the surrounding monster tribes.

The unstoppable Gnolls instilled fear in the hearts of other monster tribes.

They couldn't comprehend why the jackals were so fierce and aggressive.

All they knew was that a true dragon had arrived in the Dokafa Mountain Range.

Although the Gnolls suffered heavy losses during the rapid expansion, it did not deter their offensive in the slightest.

If their numbers decreased, they would replenish their ranks by assimilating other conquered monster tribes, ensuring a sufficient combat force.

And good news reached their Majesty Xi Ye.

Celeste was pregnant!
