Her white eyelashes were thick and long, fluttering like butterfly wings with every blink; her silver-white hair, like luxurious satin, spread quietly behind her.
At the same time, every strand of hair shimmered with a faint silver light, and her blue-and-white dress revealed a pair of snow-white, jade-like feet.
Jona Velli sized herself up for a while with a complex gaze, unable to help but complain.
"WTF! A top-tier pure-hearted little loli..."
This appearance even made Jona Velli herself develop an intense desire to ruthlessly ravage the loli in the mirror.
But just as Jona Velli's thoughts were wandering, she suddenly noticed a stray lock of hair.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the top of her head in the mirror, where an inconspicuous ahoge stood quietly.
Jona Velli raised her hand and pressed it down, but as if it were defying her, it immediately sprang back up the moment she let go.
Back and forth like this, after struggling for several minutes, veins were already bulging on her smooth forehead.
As if to protect the last shred of something in her heart, Jona Velli snapped on the spot.
"Damn it! I'm going all out against you!"
With a loud shout, her fair jade-like hand grabbed the ahoge that was defying her. Hardening her heart, she gave it a forceful yank.
Looking at the ahoge lying quietly in her hand, Jona Velli's lips curled up in satisfaction.
Before she could celebrate for long, another tuft sprang up on the top of her head.
Her crystal-blue pupils blinked; she clearly hadn't expected this.
"Huh?"
..."An ahoge loli or whatever... Yamero!!!"
Jona Velli screamed in a breakdown. There was nothing she could do; she had been pulling at it for nearly half an hour, and the once-clean floor was now covered in ahoges.
In contrast, on the top of her head, that most vibrant scenery still existed, and it even looked more upright than before.
Jona Velli regretted it; for the first time, she felt that a dragon's powerful recovery ability combined with her [Weekend] was such a hindrance.
She had tried to turn off [Weekend], but it was useless; it grew back as soon as it was pulled, and then grew some more.
By now, she had long since wilted.
The lingering desire in her heart to restore her masculine spirit was ruthlessly crushed by this annoying ahoge and her cute appearance.
As if mocking her incompetence, that little ahoge even swayed on her head.
"With this look, what dignity do I have left... Sigh."
Jona Velli sighed deeply. She didn't even know how many times she had sighed since waking up; anyway, it was a lot.
Jona Velli decided to go out for a walk; after all, her ability to adapt was actually quite strong.
Besides, it wasn't like she had a choice; what was she going to do, commit suicide?
Jona Velli dispelled the ice crystal mirror and pushed open the door.
In the palace hall outside the room, a crowd of monsters was already kneeling quietly.
Scanning them, she saw Little Shunzi, Blockhead, Fenni, Medusa, Mofana, Liya, Gelina, Anna, and others who were more or less directly or indirectly related to her.
Seeing an unfamiliar little loli only about 1.5 meters tall push open the door and come out, everyone was stunned. But then, Medusa, dressed in a maid outfit, was quick-witted and reacted first, shouting loudly.
"Greetings to the Supreme Master! Congratulations to Master for ending your slumber!!"
Hearing this, the other Dependents and monsters also hurriedly shouted.
"Greetings to the Supreme Master! Congratulations to Master for ending your slumber!!"
Jona Velli nodded.
"Mm, rise."
"Thank you, Great Master!"
After saying this, the Dependents rose one after another. Little Fenni fluttered her wings at this time, excitedly sizing up Jona Velli.
"Jona Velli! Your change is so huge! You look so pretty!"
Jona Velli's expression stiffened. She would rather hear 'you look so manly' than have someone praise her for being pretty.
Just as Jona Velli was about to say something, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed two beast-eared girls.
Sensing Jona Velli's gaze, the Dependents obediently stepped aside. Jona Velli looked Liya and Gelina up and down.
The two beast-eared girls were a bit overwhelmed by the attention and hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, Master."
"What happened to you? How can even your wrinkles..."
Before finishing, Jona Velli suddenly realized and slapped her forehead.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you are short-lived species. Most of your lives have passed, and it won't be long before you die."
Jona Velli's words left Liya and Gelina frozen in place, not knowing how to respond.
Although what Jona Velli said was true, it sounded so... Jona Velli also realized she was being a bit too blunt and quickly coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.
"Ahem, that, uh..."
Before Jona Velli could finish, Gelina spoke respectfully.
"Master is right. Liya and I are indeed nearing our end, but to be able to see Master again and serve Master before we die, we feel it is a great honor."
Hearing this, Jona Velli couldn't help but look at Gelina a few more times. Combined with Gelina's steady breathing and normal heartbeat, it was clear this wasn't flattery, but what she truly thought.
The topic of lifespan was a painful one. As a long-lived species, Jona Velli was destined to witness the deaths and departures of countless short-lived species.
But when she was actually about to face it, she still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Jona Velli waved her hand, and in the next second, two drops of dragon blood appeared before Liya and Gelina.
"You are both over half a century old, and the probability of sudden death will greatly increase. The choice is yours; I have no right to interfere."
Jona Velli still had a bit of a favorable impression of these two cute beast-eared maid girls, especially their fluffy big tails and furry ears.
"Master..."
The hearts of the two demi-humans were touched. They hadn't expected Jona Velli to actually bestow dragon blood upon them.
One must know, the significance of this was no small matter.
If they successfully absorbed the dragon blood, they would at least become medium-long-lived species.
Their lifespan would be similar to that of dwarves, roughly between three hundred to five hundred years.
Coming to their senses, the two demi-human maids were moved to tears and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Thank you for your gift, Master!"
Jona Velli paid them no more mind and said to the other Dependents.
"Disperse. I want to go for a stroll myself to understand the development of the City-state. As for any matters, we'll talk later when I have time."
Now, Jona Velli was already able to suppress the hunger and some instinctive desires within her body.
"Yes! Master!"
The Dependents all withdrew, and Liya and the other also left with the dragon blood. Fenni did not leave; she hadn't seen Jona Velli for so long, how could she leave so easily?
Seeing Fenni lingering, Jona Velli didn't drive her away either, allowing her to follow.
"Jona Velli, I didn't expect you to sleep for so long."
And just then, the corners of Jona Velli's mouth curled up.
"Jona Velli, what are you laughing at?"
"Hehe, are you unable to wait any longer? Friel."
At this moment, a spatial rift had appeared behind Jona Velli.
