Amidst a sea of flames, her figure gradually shrank and transformed, becoming increasingly delicate, increasingly alluring.

Slowly, a slender Humanoid figure emerged, not Human but Humanoid. However, upon closer inspection, one could faintly make out a stunning pair of ruby-like eyes. Her Dragon eyes remained, but compared to her Dragon Form, they were now much softer. Most of the previous majesty was replaced with tenderness.

Yet, this was of little importance. What mattered was that the Red Dragon Queen’s transformation was still ongoing.

A mysterious power flowed through Heaven and Earth before the churning sea of crimson flames in the sky rolled back and gradually draped over her figure, like a thin veil.

Shortly after, a delicate hand suddenly stretched out from the depths of the flames. It was white as snow, warm as jade.

At a glance, it truly embodied the phrase: ‘Hands as soft as young bamboo shoots, skin like congealed cream.’

“Master…” A soft voice called out as a figure slowly manifested within the sea of fire.

Moments later, a young woman, around 17-18 years old, came into Yu Zi Yu’s view.

The young woman was incredibly beautiful, with an oval-shaped face and a pair of gem-like ruby eyes. Her eyes were crystal clear, with flames flickering within, making them appear rather mysterious. Long eyelashes quivered gently above her golden eyes with crimson pupils. Her skin was incredibly fair and had a faint pinkish hue.

However, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s attention was drawn to the pointed ears on either side of the woman’s head. They were just like those of an Elf.

[Did she shape-shift into a Blood Elf?] With a hint of doubt in his heart, Yu Zi Yu gazed at this unfamiliar yet oddly familiar woman, a little surprised.

At that moment, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts, the young woman gently parted her lips and explained in a soft voice, “Master, since this body of yours is of Elven descent, I naturally chose to transform into an Elf…”

“Alright then…” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu understood.

[No wonder she took the form of an Elf; it had to do with the race of my body contracted to her. Still, the results aren’t bad.] As he slowly lifted his gaze and took another look, Yu Zi Yu was quite satisfied.

She was indeed worthy of being the Dragon Queen. Though she was not that old, her appearance truly lived up to the standards of a high-class race.

The more advanced the race, the more flawless their appearance. Among the high-class races, beauty was never lacking.

Although this Dragon Queen might not be as world-shatteringly beautiful as the Mermaid Queen or the Elf Queen, transcending the boundaries of race, the girl before him had an extraordinary presence.

She looked quite valiant and heroic. Her fiery red hair cascaded down to her waist. Her golden Dragon eyes shone brilliantly. Her tall, upright posture was nothing short of perfect.

Admiring in his heart, Yu Zi Yu also praised her out loud, “Your transformation looks quite impressive…”

“Hehe, of course…” With a soft laugh, the Dragon Queen pointed to two small red horns that had sprouted from her forehead and stated frankly, “My transformation is still a bit rough. I can’t make these Dragon Horns disappear.”

“It’s already very good. For your first shape-shift, being able to achieve this is a testament to your skills and talent…” With another round of praise, Yu Zi Yu slightly turned his body.

This was because the Dragon Queen had gotten too close, and faintly, there was a subtle fragrance unique to a woman tickling his nose.

It was quite fragrant, but Yu Zi Yu decided not to savor it.

At this moment, noticing Yu Zi Yu’s slight shift in position, the Dragon Queen seemed to realize something and smiled softly.

She stepped back and bowed deeply, introducing herself, “Dragon Queen—Dai Er, greets Master.”

“…” Hearing her self-introduction, Yu Zi Yu was taken aback for a moment before smiling and asking:

“Your name is Dai Er?”

“Yes, when I first gained sentience, someone called me Dai Er. Since then, I’ve always been called Dai Er.”

“Alright then.” Yu Zi Yu nodded his acknowledgement. He was quite surprised by this.

He had not expected that the Dragon Queen, who looked so valiant and heroic, would have such a gentle name. “Interesting…”

With a smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu suddenly sensed something, and he looked up towards the sky.

A white storm descended from the horizon, silver lightning tore through the sky. Soon, one expert after another arrived swiftly, without concealing their presence.

“What’s happening? Why is there such a commotion?” Before he even arrived, White Tiger’s thunderous voice reverberated through the sky.

[This guy… why is he always a step behind…] Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Zi Yu found White Tiger’s behavior somewhat puzzling.

However, in a moment, another voice rang out sharply in the sky, “Lightning Dragon of the Dragon Clan greets Master… and also greets the Dragon Clan’s newly ascended True God…”

The deep voice carried a trace of respect. It belonged to none other than Little Tenth, who was hovering high in the sky.

The Dragon Clan had always revered strength above all. Upon sensing that the Red Dragon Queen’s ascension to Tier-5 and realizing she was not an enemy, Little Tenth proactively offered a greeting as a gesture of respect.

However, at that moment, his gaze shifted to the tall and heroic figure of a woman standing not far from Yu Zi Yu, his eyes flickering with interest.

He had not expected her to gain the Dragon Clan’s Secret Technique—Shape-Shifting.

This was known to be a very advanced Secret Technique.

However, that was not the most important point.

What truly mattered was that, as a Secret Technique exclusive to the Dragon Clan, no other race could use it. This meant that once one member of the Dragon Clan mastered it, any Dragon Clan member from the same side could learn it as well.

In this light, it was no wonder that Little Tenth had rushed over immediately after sensing that a Dragon Clan member had ascended to True God.

Paying respects to a True God was secondary; his main goal was likely to gain access to the ‘Dragon Clan’s Secret Technique.’ After all, Little Tenth was now the leader of the Dragon Clan. He bore the responsibility for the rise and fall of his people.

“So, it’s you…” Responding with a faint voice, the Dragon Queen’s expression shifted as she gazed at Lightning Dragon in the distance.

In the past, she had been utterly defeated by him, unable to fight back even a little.

So, seeing him again, her fists clenched instinctively, as she had always held a grudge.

However, after a moment of thought, she pouted slightly and moved closer to Yu Zi Yu’s side.

As her Master’s servant, her fists could only follow the direction of her Master’s sword. Without her Master’s command, she dare not act on her own.

At that moment, as if offering guidance, Yu Zi Yu’s voice gently echoed in the Dragon Queen’s ear, “Little Tenth is one of my Ten Great Divine Beasts. He must not be insulted…”

After this reminder, Yu Zi Yu raised his gaze towards the sky and introduced her to the others, “This is the Dragon Queen—Dai Er, now my battle companion. You may regard her as an equal.”

“Understood, Master…” In unison, Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and the other powerful figures could not help but exchange glances, their eyes flickering with various emotions.
