เข้าสู่ระบบWhen I woke up again,three days had already passed.The moment I opened my eyes,I saw Ignis's handsome face hovering over mine.Seeing the deep,dark circles under his eyes,my heart ached.I reached up and stroked his cheek."Elena!You're finally awake!"Ignis shouted in elation."Shaman!Hurry,come in and check on her!""Elena,you have given birth to the first healthy beastman royal heir.You are now the Beast Queen."The Grand Druid bowed to me with utmost respect.Although my body was still very weak,looking at the dragon egg emitting a warm,red glow in Ignis's arms,I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness."What happened to the Mammoth Tribe?Are the injured tribe members settled down?"I asked softly.Ignis helped me sit up and brought a bowl of warm potion to my lips."Don't worry.The Mammoth Tribe has been completely subjugated by the dragon royal guards.Those willing to submit have been branded with slave marks to do hard labor in the tribe;those who dared to resist were all killed."In
Although Chloe had been exiled,I still felt a lingering sense of unease.Who knew what filthy tricks those psychos might pull next?Ever since Ignis and I completed our deep soul bond,his strength had skyrocketed.He even awakened the ancient dragons'gift of prophecy,allowing him to glimpse the future in his dreams."Elena!"I was jolted awake by Ignis's alarmed shout.Lately,he had been plagued by nightmares.I wiped the cold sweat from his forehead."I'll go to the Shaman tomorrow to ask for a soothing potion.Ever since you awakened your prophetic gift,you've had nightmares every single night.If this keeps up,your mana will be drained dry."Ignis furrowed his brow tightly."No.I keep feeling that a massive disaster is impending.It's targeting the tribe,and I have to prepare in advance."I paused for a moment."Are you worried that Bjorn and his kind are plotting something?""Not just them.Recently,a few savage tribes from the edges of the wasteland have repeatedly crossed our borders,ambus
In the blink of an eye,the Autumn Harvest Festival arrived.I was already six months pregnant.Ignis and I were invited as guests of honor to preside over the festival.Along the way,all the beastmen bowed to me respectfully—after all,what I was carrying in my womb was an incredibly rare and noble dragon heir.Ignis guarded me carefully.To my surprise,on the outskirts of the festival,I actually saw Chloe again.It made sense.It was the Autumn Harvest Festival,after all;Bjorn had to let her out for some fresh air so she wouldn't literally die in the basement.She was nothing but skin and bones,dragging the shackles on her feet as she slowly walked up to me.Her eyes were as venomous as a poisoned blade."Elena,you knew all along,didn't you?You knew Bjorn was an absolute psycho!You deliberately watched me jump into the fire just to make a joke out of me!"Seeing her unrepentant attitude,I spoke coldly."What's wrong with Bjorn?Didn't you praise him in front of everyone for being honest,pure,
By the time I woke up,it was already evening.I felt a strange flutter in my lower abdomen and touched my stomach in surprise.Ignis walked over carrying a steaming bowl of fresh meat stew,his deep blue eyes full of tender affection."You're awake?Don't be afraid.That's our flesh and blood drawing in mana.""But...didn't we just finish doing that?"Recalling the messy state of the stone bed,I couldn't help but blush."The bloodlines of beastmen and dragons are different from humans.Conception happens incredibly fast,and it usually only takes six months to birth an heir."I pulled Ignis's hand and placed it over my lower belly,feeling the movements of the playful little one inside.I was so excited I was almost speechless.Ignis radiated the glow of a proud father-to-be."It would be wonderful if it's born small and cute just like you."I glared at him."He's a literal ancient dragon,why should he be small and cute?"Ignis chuckled softly and didn't bicker with me,just staring tenderly and o
Things remained peaceful for quite a while after the trial.I kept searching for mana crystals for Ignis,but he still hadn't shifted into his human form.After another day of foraging,I returned to our stone hut completely exhausted.I grabbed a wool blanket and curled up on the stone bed like a lazy cat."Ignis,I'm so sleepy.Can you go find me something to eat?"Ignis flew to my side,resting near my pillow as he tentatively communicated through our bond:[If you want to have a little dragonet,we could actually start right now...]"Stop!Stop right there!I never said I wanted to get pregnant.Chloe is the one obsessed with having wolf pups!"I cringed hard.Ignis's slitted pupils stared intensely at me.[Don't you want to raise a little dragon with me?One that inherits pure magical power?]I pulled the blanket over my flushed red face and shouted,"We'll see how you perform!Right now,I just want food!I'm starving to death!"Please,how is a human supposed to do that with a lizard the size of a
Just when I thought history was going to repeat itself,a burst of dark,violent red mana suddenly erupted from within me.The tyrannical draconic aura directly shattered Bjorn's soul link,and the massive shockwave sent Chloe flying,making her crash heavily onto the dirt.[My gods!Is he forcing a deeper soul bond?!Does he have a death wish?!][That berserk mana will make that dragon pup explode!He's insane!]The Grand Druids in the stands all turned pale with shock,but once a high-tier soul merging began,no one could stop it.I slowly opened my eyes.The bone-crushing agony I had felt just moments ago had completely vanished.I saw Ignis gently nuzzling my forehead with his warm little horn.[It's okay,Elena.Let's go home.]I was still a bit dazed.Seeing the beastmen around me staring at us like they'd seen a ghost,I asked hoarsely,"What happened?Is the trial over?"Ignis shielded me with his tiny body and turned to project his consciousness to the Grand Druids,demanding,[During this trial,
