Chapter 276: Subordinates Can’t Kiss Their Superiors

In her sleep, Ao Lan bit into fried chicken.

The Colorful Five-Clawed Chicken’s Spiritual Energy continuously surged into Ao Lan’s body, repairing the damage inflicted by the heavenly tribulation.

As her body steadily recovered, Ao Lan finally opened her eyes.

“Huh?”

She stared at the large fried chicken in her mouth with slight confusion.

“What was I doing just now? I seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the thunder tribulation, and then…”

The aroma of fried chicken spread throughout the air.

“Whatever!”

Faced with such outrageously delicious food, Ao Lan completely abandoned any further thought.

After gulping down a mouthful of saliva, she immediately began to devour the fragrant chicken.

Chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breast, chicken butt…

“Slurp~”

Before long, Ao Lan’s fingers and lips glistened with oil as she looked at the empty chicken bones before her.

Only then did she wipe her mouth, still feeling unsatisfied.

After all, with the innate advantage of the Dragon Clan, she could eat as much as she wanted without gaining weight!

Triumphantly raising her head, an embarrassed smile instantly appeared on Ao Lan’s small face.

Preoccupied with eating the delicious fried chicken, she had completely forgotten to observe her surroundings.

Only now did she discover that Nie Chen and the Jiao Dragon Clan women had witnessed her entire performance.

It was a massive Dragon King death scene!

Nie Chen didn’t seem to mind, but she couldn’t lose face in front of the other Jiao Dragon Clan members.

“Ahem, this was an accident, an accident. How could this Dragon King usually be so greedy like a child?”

Coughing twice, Ao Lan tried to assert her dragon aura.

But she clearly noticed Nie Chen’s disdainful look, as if he hadn’t even paid attention to her.

The Jiao Dragon Clan women beside them couldn’t help but giggle, covering their mouths with their sleeves.

No matter what, she was the Western Sea Dragon King, holding a lofty position within the Dragon Clan!

Ao Lan was exasperated: “Hateful, I’m the Dragon King, at least give me some face in front of other dragons!”

But halfway through her sentence, Ao Lan suddenly felt Nie Chen’s hand gently resting on her head.

“After eating that chicken, how does your body feel? Has it recovered?”

For some reason, Ao Lan suddenly felt that Nie Chen’s voice was exceptionally gentle today.

After carefully examining her body, Ao Lan felt refreshed and comfortable, as if she had been bathed in holy water.

The wounds left by the thunder tribulation had completely disappeared, and even her newly attained Transforming Sea Realm had stabilized.

“Wait, I’ve already reached the Transforming Sea Realm!”

Only now did Ao Lan finally remember this most important matter.

She recalled that when Nie Chen first took her away from the Dragon Palace, he had assured the Old Dragon that he could help her reach the Transforming Sea Realm within a year.

Unexpectedly, she had indeed reached it so quickly.

Becoming stronger and reaching the Transforming Sea Realm had always been Ao Lan’s goal.

But for some reason, this time she couldn’t feel as happy as usual.

Calculating, she and Nie Chen had signed the contract for one, two, five, four…

Fiddling with her fingers, Ao Lan felt a bit dizzy.

Although she couldn’t count it, she knew that more than half a year had passed.

‘After a year, will I really leave Nie Chen and return to the Dragon Palace to be the Dragon King?’

Thinking about this question, Ao Lan actually felt a little bit lost.

Looking down at the scattered chicken bones on the table, the rich aroma of fried chicken still lingered in the room.

Without Nie Chen, there would be no more delicious Golden Scale Carp and fried chicken to eat.

And…

“Wait, what am I thinking?!”

Coming back to her senses, Ao Lan was startled by her own thoughts.

“Hmph, I’m the dignified Dragon King. After the contract period ends, I won’t be a human’s pet beast anymore. Returning to the Dragon Palace to be the Dragon King, I can eat whatever I want, how carefree that will be!”

Suddenly thinking of this, Ao Lan pretended to be indifferent and slightly raised her head.

But feeling the warmth from Nie Chen’s palm on her head, Ao Lan’s gaze unintentionally became dazed.

The words she had repeatedly told herself were already thrown to the back of her mind, completely forgotten.

She unintentionally recalled that during her tribulation, it was Nie Chen who took action and instantly killed the two opportunistic Old Dragons, giving her the confidence to fight against the heavenly tribulation with all her might and ultimately achieve victory.

Under his palm, Ao Lan felt so at ease.

As if under the protection of this palm, nothing could ever harm her.

Suddenly, Ao Lan threw herself into Nie Chen’s arms and hugged his waist, burying her small face deep within.

“Ahem, what’s wrong with you?”

The sudden situation also startled Nie Chen. This was the first time he had seen the usually playful Ao Lan act like this.

“Nothing, just wanted a hug.”

“Why didn’t you hug the fried chicken?”

“I finished the fried chicken.”

Nie Chen deliberately acted as if he was frightened: “Hiss~ Don’t tell me you want to eat me?”

“How is that possible!”

Finally wanting to show some affection, but being met with such disgust, Ao Lan became completely anxious:

“Hateful, this Dragon King proactively hugs you, and you actually dislike me!”

“Dragon King? You seem to have forgotten who’s the master and who’s the pet beast.”

Nie Chen joked.

Ao Lan refused to admit defeat: “So what if I’m a pet beast? Who says a pet beast can’t rebel? A subordinate can even kiss their superior!”

Nie Chen: “Then kiss me and show me.”

“You think I don’t dare? I’ll kiss you right now! σ(≧ε≦o)~~~”

Ao Lan stood on tiptoe, but realized that even if she stretched as high as she could, she could barely reach Nie Chen’s waist.

As for his unreachable lips, she didn’t even need to think about it.

No matter how she stretched, it was futile.

“Bullying a two-hundred-year-old child? Too much, that’s too much!”

Suffering such bullying, Ao Lan could only let tears well up in her eyes, hugging Nie Chen even tighter with a slight grievance.

After passing through the Transforming Sea Realm, the tips of her hair had become slightly light blue.

They softly draped down, like a dense forest, safely shielding her.

Unintentionally, the unwilling tears in Ao Lan’s eyes gradually dispersed.

Hugging Nie Chen’s waist, she turned her head and softly leaned against him.

It was still so warm, still so reassuring.

Gently closing her eyes, Ao Lan felt Nie Chen’s palm resting on hers once again.

Then, he gently rubbed it.

The soft feeling was very pleasant.

In the secluded cabin, everything seemed to become quiet and peaceful.

A beautiful light blue hue quietly climbed onto the tips of her hair, and Ao Lan gradually relaxed her body in peace.

A sweet smile unintentionally appeared on her lips.

It was as if she was happier than eating ten Golden Scale Carp.
