Good news:

I updated all the timelines of the chapters, so next month it will be updated on time.

Sorry again for the delay, I had a very demanding midterm so I couldn’t dedicate the necessary time.

And the title will be changed to Abyssal Chronicles. but I will put the old name near the title to avoid confusion.

Well now, although Meili had already constructed a grand ’racial revival plan’ in her mind, she probably needed to first contemplate how to preserve her dignity as the Dragon King at the moment.

Whimper

Right now, in the dressing room of the mansion, under the urging of Yuan’er, Little Meili had already deactivated her cute pet mode and transformed back into that teary-eyed blonde dragon loli. Having reverted to human form, the stark naked Little Meili was currently just hugging her chest like this, trembling as she curled up in the corner. In front of her stood Yuan’er with her hands on her hips, along with two maid sisters holding little dresses.

Evidently, Yuan’er had a great interest in tormenting Meili and helping her change clothes.

Besides, In Yuan’er’s view, today was her birthday after all, so Meili as her best friend must also dress up prettily. Additionally, Yuan’er also wanted to take this opportunity to properly educate Little Meili. She thought, how could such a cute girl be so unfashionable? Girls need to learn to dress up!

Unfortunately, Meili did not think this way.

As the Sacred Dragon, even if she had turned into an inexperienced little girl, she still had to maintain the dignity of the Dragon King! Those kinds of light and fluttery frilly dresses, there was no way she could ever wear them!

Damn little demon, are you trying to use these kinds of tricks to erode my will to resist?! Let me tell you! Not a chance!

Right now, I perhaps do not dare to rebel. But once our dragon race rose again, I would definitely teach this damn demon little girl a harsh lesson!

The indignant Little Meili just glared "fiercely" at Yuan’er in front of her with a ’just you wait’ look in her eyes, the defiant emotion within them displayed to the fullest.

However, Yuan’er had long been accustomed to this, because every time she tormented her little friend, Meili would always show this kind of expression. As for her little friend’s words like "thirty years of the river flowing east, thirty years of it flowing west, don’t bully the young dragon", or eyes containing similar meaning, Yuan’er had already seen it dozens of times.

In any case, her Little Meili was just all talk, completely lacking actual action, so Yuan’er didn’t really mind.

However, today was her birthday party after all, she didn’t want her little friend to be in a bad mood~, so Yuan’er gave up on using forceful methods.

Thereupon, she habitually took out an exquisite and appetizing lollipop from the small satchel beside her, and without a word, stuffed it into Little Meili’s mouth with practiced ease. In an instant, a wonderful sweetness exploded in Meili’s taste buds. Under the nourishment of this sweetness, the dissatisfaction on the dragon loli’s face dissipated at a visible speed, replaced by a blissful smile.

"Mmm, so sweet~"

Filled with a sense of happiness, Little Meili completely gave up resistance, just letting Yuan’er and the few maids toss her about like this.

Watching Meili who had reverted to obedient and lovely mode, Yuan’er revealed a hint of a self-satisfied grin.

"Hehe, dragons are so easy to handle~."

...

Outside the mansion, hearing the laughter coming from the third-floor dressing room, Kalina in the pavilion downstairs couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a helpless smile. Originally, she was worried that keeping such a powerful dragon as a pet was a very dangerous thing, and even wanted to personally help Yuan’er train the pet, but now it seemed that she was worrying too much. My little sister is very smart and can completely handle that foolish dragon. Since that was the case, I don’t need to intervene.

After a slight smile, Kalina turned her gaze to the well-behaved gray-haired little girl standing beside her. Because of the birthday banquet, Liyu had also dressed up a bit with the assistance of the Black Rose maids for the first time in a long while. Her gray hair was lazily coiled up, with a blue crystal ribbon suspending a small lock of hair beside her ear. The headdress made of blue crystal, under the illumination of the lamp and sunlight, revealed a crystal clear soft glow. Under the white shirt was an exquisite jade green backless lace mini dress, perfectly showcasing the girl’s flawless skin and adorable appearance.

Kalina was not stingy with her praise for her cute sister:

"Quite adorable,"

"Thank you for the compliment, big sis~"

Liyu responded excitedly. Then, she eagerly looked around,

"How is it going, Sister, is everything going smoothly?"

"Mm, it’s all going well. That guy Sebastian is quite capable, the arrangement of the banquet venue is perfect. Those guests invited to join in the fun have also all arrived, and they don’t seem to have any ideas of messing around either."

"Hehe, of course, after all, Sister Kalina is here, they wouldn’t dare to act out of line. Those beast clan leaders wouldn’t want to be turned into skewers after going back~"

"You little one, Don’t make me sound so scary, okay?"

Kalina pretended to be displeased, but in fact dotingly patted Liyu’s little head,

"By the way, Sister Kalina, when will Mom and the others arrive?"

Liyu asked with some anticipation.

After all, It had been a full three months since Yumo left for the Red Leaf Empire capital to serve as a teacher.

In the past, Liyu was someone who stuck by her mother’s side all day long, leaving her mother’s side for two or three days at most. Liyu’s heart had long felt lonely not seeing her mother for three months straight like this. She, who was severely lacking in mommy energy, was eager to rush into her mother’s arms for a cuddle.

Unfortunately, to this question, Kalina could only respond helplessly:

"Not sure, there has been no news from Xiao’s side, and I don’t know where she is... Hm??"

However, before she could finish speaking, Kalina raised her brows.

Because, a powerful aura had just barged into her perception domain, and was approaching her at an extraordinary speed.

"Oh, speak of the devil!"

With a slight smile, Kalina turned her head to the side.

At this moment, a graceful man with short black hair cut neatly to his ears, wearing a black cloak and a black and white tailcoat, had already appeared beside Kalina at some point. The man was handsome and suave, with a charming aura that could captivate one’s soul at a glance. Standing together with the enchanting Kalina, they had a unique atmosphere of being a match made in heaven.

A man who had the qualifications to stand beside Kalina neither humbly nor arrogantly, his identity was self-evident. He was the leader of the Black Rose family.

Xiao - Black Rose.

"Long time no see, Lady Kalina, Lady Liyu."

Xiao placed one hand on his chest and elegantly saluted the two sisters in greeting.

After politely nodding in response, Kalina asked with some curiosity:

"Why so late?"

"My apologies, there were too many things to deal with in Red Leaf , especially the matter of the new emperor’s ascension to the throne, which took up too much time."

"It’s alright, you’ve worked hard. Under these circumstances, you still took the time to rush over."

"It’s only proper, after all, this time it’s Miss Yuan’er’s birthday."

"By the way, where are Mother and the other Black Rose members?"

"The other Black Rose members are already in the backyard, unloading the gifts. However... as for Lady Yumo."

"Did something happen to mom!?"

Liyu cautiously poked her head out from behind Kalina and asked curiously.

"Lady Yumo hasn’t arrived yet for the time being."

"Hm? Then, where did Mother go?"

"Lady Yumo went to Wind City to pick up Yuan’er’s grandparents."

"Mother personally went? Wasn’t it agreed that Wanya and the others would go pick them up?"

"Yes, although it’s a bit inexplicable, Lady Yumo seems to vaguely regard those two as elder-like existences. Perhaps it’s because of that experience when she pretended to be their granddaughter."

"Alright then."

Kalina nodded with a mixed feelings:

"Since it’s Mother’s decision, we’ll just comply."

"Mm, but to be honest, I was the one who suggested that Lady Yumo go pick them up in person."

"You suggested it? Why make such a suggestion?"

Faced with this question, Xiao narrowed his eyes meaningfully,

"Because this way, we’ll have time."

Seemingly sensing that there was more to Xiao’s words, Kalina couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows,

"You mean?"

Hearing this, Xiao carefully lowered his body and whispered beside Kalina and Liyu,

"Mm, tell Lady Shuoyue and the others, as well as Sebastian and his guys, to come to the conference room for a bit. There are some things that I feel we still need to explain further. Otherwise, later... if our stories don’t match, it’ll be troublesome..."

As these words entered their ears, both Kalina and Liyu couldn’t help but reveal a serious expression. The two sisters looked at each other and nodded in unison:

"Understood."

When it came to the safety of their butt, the two sisters had no choice but to treat it with the utmost importance.
