[Dating Options activated.]
[Option 1: Continue enjoying Bailu's feeding, indulge further, and say, "Ah..." — Completion Reward: Stalker's Gaze. Note: Watch your back!]
[Option 2: Request Bailu to transform back into her young girl form, saying, "Bailu, I'm not quite used to this; could you make yourself smaller?" — Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from as small as a matchstick to as large as a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]
[Option 3: Invite Serval to join: "Serval, why just watch from the side? Come over and play with us." — Completion Reward: Serval's Eye Roll.]
The sudden appearance of these options alerted Bochang to a change in Serval's demeanor.
With three options and two carrying negative rewards, there was little room for hesitation.
"It seems...I have no choice but to pick the second one."
Making a pragmatic decision, Bochang looked at the dragon maiden beside him and said, "Bailu, I'm not quite comfortable with this; can you please make yourself smaller?"
"Hmm? You don't like this form of mine, Bochang?" Bailu, still sitting upright with her tail swaying, placed both hands beneath her impressive bosom as she spoke, "I thought you would definitely appreciate it..."
Despite her excellent figure in the mature form, Bailu's gesture lacked any seductive allure.
Perhaps it was due to her inherently pure demeanor, making it seem more like an innocent act by a naive young maiden rather than a deliberate tease.
Does Bochang like it?
Of course he does! In fact, he even briefly wondered if her clothes would... change when she transformed.
To his surprise, the inhabitants of Xianzhou showcased their advanced technology. The quality of her garments was remarkably resilient.
Even with Bailu's chest swelling significantly, there was no sign of damage or strain on her clothing.
Had these been garments from before his transmigration, they surely would have burst under such pressure.
Serval's gaze suddenly turned menacing, giving off an unsettling sensation akin to feeling watched from behind.
Ignoring her actions, Bochang cleared his throat.
"Cough... Enough mischief, Bailu. You should still be able to shrink down, right?"
Seeing that his tactic wasn't effective, the dragon girl reluctantly conceded.
"Um... alright, let me try."
Bailu closed her eyes, attempting to control the foreign power within her body. A white glow emanated from her figure.
Quickly, she transformed back into her small loli form.
The system's voice chimed in:
[Rewards being distributed - Congratulations! You have received a bottle of Fasting Pills containing ten tablets. Each pill provides the necessary nutrition for one day. Note: This item has been stored in the System Space and can be directly accessed for use.]
"Fasting Pills, huh... They could be somewhat useful."
Bochang didn't dismiss such minor items lightly.
After all... it was unpredictable when these props might come in handy.
For instance, the noise-canceling headphones earlier had proven quite effective according to Serval.
At that moment... Bailu examined her petite frame and said, "I've changed back, but... this miss still prefers my previous appearance."
"Does Bochang not like grown-up Bailu?" The dragon girl looked at the black-haired youth with a pitiful expression.
Bochang felt as if a red "DANGER" sign appeared above his head.
And at this crucial moment...
There was no sign of any ["Dating Option"] popping up.
Quickly pondering for a second, Bochang responded, "I didn't say I don't like it; it's just that I'm temporarily unaccustomed to the change..."
He deliberately avoided saying he liked it, giving only a vague answer.
Such a response was clearly unsatisfactory.
Bailu's demeanor turned somber, and even her tail drooped down.
Bochang hastily shifted the attention to the blonde woman. "Um... actually, grown-up Bailu is very beautiful. If you don't believe me, ask Serval."
"Yes, indeed," Serval chimed in. "As she grows up, Bailu truly becomes quite stunning... Even I envy her figure..."
Taking over the conversation, Serval responded:
Although meant to comfort the little loli,
it was indeed true.
Serval herself believed she had quite a good figure, but compared to grown-up Bailu—she fell slightly short.
With her exceptional waist-to-hip ratio and ample bosom, Bailu's physique was truly enviable to the point of jealousy.
"I see, now I understand."
Hearing that her future self would be stunningly beautiful, Bailu instantly regained her spirit.
However, before even two seconds passed, the dragon loli sighed again.
"Ah... I wonder how long it'll take for me to grow that tall."
Dragonkin have slow physical development; years passing without noticeable changes were entirely normal. Since the horn on her forehead emerged, Bailu hadn't increased in height for six or seven years. This was one reason she preferred maintaining her mature form.
Bailu genuinely yearned to grow up.
"No rush, take your time. If needed, Bailu can always use my power to transform larger whenever you wish. You've already become proficient with controlling that strength, haven't you?"
Bochang could sense that after Bailu reverted to her original shape, the flow of Dragon Sigil's magic through her body became imperceptibly minimal. Unlike when she assumed the giant dragon or mature forms, where the magic dissipation was more significant. This indicated...
that the Dragon Sigil's power could now be stored within her for extended periods.
The flow of Dragon Talisman's magic power through her body had become imperceptibly faint.
Unlike her previous giant dragon and mature woman forms, which consumed more of the talisman's magic power significantly.
This indicated...
That the Dragon Talisman's energy could be stored within her for extended periods.
"Store the power until needed...," Bailu gently tapped her chin, "It seems indeed possible. Once I returned to my original form, Bochang's bestowed strength barely dissipated anymore."
"I never thought about that... Bochang is truly clever." Bailu praised him, lightly flicking her tail against Bochang's back with a soft tapping sound.
Now reverted to her smaller, adorable self, Bailu looked utterly charming.
Serval glanced at the young dragon girl several times before silently shaking her head, thinking, "Bailu is just a child after all... Why did I get jealous earlier..."
Her reaction was quite understandable.
After all, the mature form of Bailu exerted significant pressure on Serval.
In contrast, the little loli guise felt somewhat deceptive, making it easy to overlook her presence.
For instance, even with Bailu clinging closely to Bochang now, Serval felt no discomfort; their interactions were still within her tolerance.
As they couldn't leave the Seat of Divine Foresight, after having some fruit, Bochang decided to wander around aimlessly with Serval and Bailu.
The Seat of Divine Foresight was vast. Despite walking for quite some time, Bochang couldn't see its end.
Meanwhile...
Kafka continued playing hide-and-seek with March 7th, Stelle, and others.
These events had nothing to do with Bochang. Earlier, he briefly communicated with Dan Heng via his phone.
Apparently, the stoic little azure dragon was about to arrive at the Central Starskiff Haven.
Originally, they planned to meet up.
However, with Bochang confined to the Seat of Divine Foresight, it became impossible to fulfill that arrangement. They would have to proceed independently.
