CHAPTER 98: 98 VALENTINA’S DRAGON-HUMAN FORM (1/3)

"Hmm... I haven’t taken on this form in a long time."

Valentina stretched her body hard, tilting her head awkwardly and wagging her tail.

Swish, swish—

"It’s quite novel to revert back after so long."

At this moment, Valentina had transformed into a different appearance.

She didn’t choose to keep more of the dragon-headed human body form but instead retained more human characteristics.

Her head remained as it appeared in human guise, with a pair of flame-bright eyes shining on her delicate face, exuding sharpness and agility. Below her prominent nose, her lips looked like vibrant roses.

Atop her head was a pair of small dragon horns, adorned with intricate textures, faintly emitting a red glow.

Her body was covered in dark red scales, like meticulously crafted ruby armor. Each scale shimmered with a metallic luster, tightly arranged from the neck down to below the waist.

In the light, the scales reflect colorful brilliance, like flowing flames.

On her arms and legs, the red scales meld with human skin, with graceful and fluid muscle lines, possessing both human elegance and dragon strength.

A giant pair of dragon wings stretched behind her, their membranes thin as gauze yet extremely resilient, able to wrap around her entirely when spread out, also patterned with rune-like vein textures that gleamed with light as the wings flapped.

Her tail resembled a thick red python, also covered in scales, which involuntarily swayed as she moved or changed emotions, as if it had a life of its own.

Valentina’s half-human, half-dragon stance appeared both mysterious and alluring in Herbert’s eyes, retaining the human form while embodying dragon characteristics.

Gulp.

The dragon lady is truly a fine civilization!

Herbert suppressed his internal excitement, maintaining a serene expression.

"Hiss ha, hiss ha... slurp."

Valentina: ?

Upon hearing the dangerous sound behind her, Miss Hungry Dragon silently turned around, casting a strange glance at the overly excited handsome youth, somewhat regretting agreeing to him.

He... shouldn’t do anything weird, right?

Valentina held her tail in her arms, glaring at Herbert, baring her teeth in threat: "I’m warning you, don’t make any sneaky moves! Or else I won’t be polite!"

"Sip... cough, cough! Don’t worry, I definitely won’t make any sneaky moves."

Herbert’s eyes were fixed on that strong, powerful tail, his fingers moving rhythmically, barely repressing the urge to pounce.

His gaze never wavered as he replied swiftly: "Besides, you’re not dead, if you feel uncomfortable, just push me away."

"Hmm? Hmm... indeed."

Valentina: Seems like this might be the case.

Heh, as if he wouldn’t dare do anything reckless.

Miss Hungry Dragon thought for a moment, finally releasing her arms and allowing the tail to slowly reach before Herbert.

"Alright, you promised you’d only touch... ah!!?"

Herbert indeed kept his promise of not sneaking around.

He blatantly went for it.

Herbert directly embraced the tail, rubbing his cheek against it.

Rub, rub, rub!

"What are you doing!!?"

???

Valentina’s rosy cheeks instantly turned red, instinctively trying to pull back her tail, but ended up dragging Herbert along with it.

"You!"

She raised her seemingly weak fist, almost ready to swing at the impudent fellow’s head.

But after Herbert’s repeated reminders during their previous embrace, she finally understood how outrageous her strength was, hesitant to actually punch him—worried she might just kill him with one blow.

However, this unfamiliar tingling sensation was indeed peculiar, making her feel itchy all over, unable to relax.

"Mmph!"

Thus, Valentina vigorously swung her tail, attempting to shake off this impertinent guy.

Swish, swish, swish!

Herbert held onto the tail, being swung around but steadfastly refusing to let go.

"Let go!"

"I—won’t—let—go—"

Swish, swish, swish!

The two of them were deadlocked for a while until Valentina finally gave in, simply stopping her resistance, allowing this fellow to fumble around with her tail.

She surrendered.

Furthermore, after the initial discomfort, she felt that having her tail squeezed and touched like this was quite pleasant.

Rather comfortable.

She simply crossed her arms under her chin, lying comfortably straight on the ground, enjoying the tail massage and care from the technician.

"Hmm-hmm~"

Herbert: ?

What does that mean, have you really considered me a high-level technician with an unfortunate past?

If that’s the case... I’ll be... unrestrained.

"Miss, how is the pressure?"

"Mmph~"

"These muscles are a bit tense here, let me knead your meridians open, it might hurt a bit, endure it."

"Uh-huh..."

Under the expert hands of the Albert Family’s second technician, the inexperienced Miss Hungry Dragon quickly turned into a soft puddle of dragon.

The wings on her back lazily flapping occasionally, the whole dragon sprawled slothfully on the ground, her eyelids starting to droop uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Herbert had discreetly changed positions, not only massaging her tail.

Long, strong fingers crawled up the dragon tail bit by bit, tentatively pressing on the scales at the waist, and, after confirming there was no extreme reaction, placed his palm over it.

"Mm..."

With skilled hands, he softly kneaded and pressed, quickly entrapping the customer into a sweet slumber.

["Why are you so skilled?"]

Nenasha’s voice appeared behind, implying: ["So, is this how you usually trick this little dragon during the day?"]

However, the focused Herbert didn’t respond to the Harmonious God’s jest, signaling silence, responding internally:

"Shh, don’t interrupt me, can’t you see I’m still on duty? Let’s talk when I’m off."

["...Ah?"]

Totally focused on giving Valentina a massage, Herbert’s eyes held no lewdness, only a thirst for unknown knowledge.

While massaging and "dragon-sucking," Herbert wasn’t just being crazy; he devoted a significant portion of his energy to another matter.

"Dragon-human form, scales cover over fifty percent, primarily protecting the vulnerable human areas, distribution pattern as..."

"Dragon tail, consisting of multiple vertebrae, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, root is quite sensitive, hypothesized dense nerve distribution..."

"Dragon wings, primarily composed of skin, similar in structure to bat wings, but with a layer of innate rune, unknown but presumably related to weight reduction..."

"Dragon claws..."

"Dragon horns..."
