“H-Hello, Senior Sister Ruan. My name is Luo Xianxiu, I am the newly appointed disciple of Master. It's nice to meet you, Senior Sister Ruan.”

“…Nice to meet you.”

‘Is that all? I know RuanRuan is quiet, but I didn’t expect her aloofness to make her so hard to approach. Since both of them are my disciples now, I’ll have to help them get closer. But that can wait—I’m hungry, so I’ll invite them to lunch first.’

“You haven’t had lunch yet, right? Let’s head back to the house; it’s time to eat.”

Returning to the house with her two disciples and their pet, Vheena went into the kitchen to prepare a simple meal, assisted by RuanRuan. While they were peacefully enjoying the food, the calm atmosphere soon turned chaotic again.

“Master—nom, nom, this food is amazing, I—nom—love the effect—nom, nom—while eating it!”

“Demon! Don’t be so greedy! I haven’t had enough yet!”

“That’s your fault—nom, nom—because you’re too slow! I’m not missing out on this meal!”

“You! This food was made by me and Master, don’t be greedy! Or I’ll take the food away from you!”

“Why should I listen to you? Even Master is just watching me eat happily!”

“Are you challenging me? Don’t make me make you cry again!”

“Hahaha! Who’s scared? My cultivation has already reached the peak stage of Golden Core, and with your early-stage cultivation, I can beat you easily!”

“H-Hey, both of you are too noisy! We’re eating, you’re going to make Master upset!”

Seeing that her senior sister and her master’s pet were about to fight, Luo Xianxiu quickly intervened to stop them. Vheena, who had been silently watching their antics, finally spoke up.

“RuanRuan, Linglu, stop fighting. Both of you, just eat peacefully. And RuanRuan, let Linglu eat heartily. Think of it as a gift for her first meeting.”

‘Honestly, I was about to tell them to stop, but seeing RuanRuan get angry and unintentionally turn her chopsticks into dust left me stunned. Isn’t her strength a bit ridiculous? Even though I’ve seen how powerful her strikes are, it’s still strange to see such strength come from her small body. And this dragon loli is boldly provoking her—does she not fear RuanRuan’s wrath? Maybe it’s because of her strong dragon physique that she feels confident enough to challenge her?’

“You heard that, Master said I can eat everything!”

“You! …Huuuft, haaaah…”

After finishing their lunch, Vheena invited a still-irritated RuanRuan to the backyard to listen to her adventures while exploring. Luo Xianxiu, unsure of what else to do, also sat down to listen to RuanRuan’s stories. Meanwhile, Long Linglu wandered around the backyard, trying out all the vegetables and fruits Vheena had planted.

Ignoring Long Linglu’s antics, Vheena focused entirely on the experiences RuanRuan shared, pondering everything her first disciple had been through.

‘Is this girl a main character? What kind of experiences are these? How could she have met a kind cultivator right after entering the Death Forest, who not only gave her information but also invited her to an alternate realm? And how could the alternate realm open just as she got there? Isn’t that strange?’

‘And the reason she brought this dragon loli along was because she thought it was my intention, as told by someone named Xue Lanting? When did I ever ask for that? I only wanted an animal we could raise for food. Not only does my face cause misunderstandings, but now even my words are being taken as lofty commands. Ugh, I better prepare myself for more misunderstandings like this in the future.’

‘But when I hear how this little girl mercilessly killed many cultivators and demons in the alternate realm without offering any mercy, isn’t that quite cruel? Does she feel nothing when killing them? She’s still so young but already so ruthless. I guess I’ll need to teach her about morals.’

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

“RuanRuan, don’t you feel anything when you kill someone?”

“No, Master. In fact, RuanRuan is happy when bad people like them disappear, so they can’t harm anyone else.”

“O-Okay. Did bad people often trouble you before you met Master?”

“Yes, Master. They love picking on the weak, and some kill without reason. Many also like to capture young girls to make them slaves. Luckily, RuanRuan cut her hair short so people thought she was a boy, though I still often got beaten up while begging in their territory.”

‘This girl’s mind is quite mature for her age, though it’s unfortunate that her morality has been twisted by the bad things she’s experienced. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, I suppose thinking like this is a good way to survive. Still, I need to correct her morality a bit so she doesn’t become too cruel.’

“RuanRuan, it’s good to kill bad people so they can’t do evil anymore. But if they show they want to change, give them mercy. And if they’re truly wicked, don’t torture them—just end their lives quickly. We’re not cold-blooded killers, remember that.”

‘Didn’t I just give a great speech about morality? Hopefully, she’ll remember my words when she’s about to kill someone, right?’

“Okay, Master, RuanRuan will remember your words.”

Vheena continued listening to RuanRuan’s stories about meeting Xue Lanting, searching for plants and animals, and occasionally recounting bits of her past. Luo Xianxiu, who was also listening, would occasionally correct RuanRuan when she misidentified a plant or animal. RuanRuan enthusiastically shared her experiences until the day grew darker.

That night, after having dinner while hearing the familiar bickering of RuanRuan and Linglu, which was mediated by Xianxiu, Vheena suddenly remembered that Long Linglu didn’t have a place to sleep.

‘I just realized I never told Linglu where to sleep. There are only three rooms in this house, and they’re all taken. I’ll just have her sleep with RuanRuan.’

“RuanRuan, since there are only three bedrooms in Master’s house, would you mind sharing your room with Linglu?”

“Wait, Master! I don’t want to sleep with this cruel person!”

“I don’t want to sleep with this demon either, Master.”

“Oh, alright then. Xianxiu, would you mind sharing your room with Linglu?”

“Of course, Master—”

“I don’t want to sleep with someone weaker than me, Master! Her cultivation is only at the mid-stage, while I’m at the peak stage. I don’t want to be with someone weak, Master!”

“Weak… how dare you! This dragon deserves a beating!”

‘Oh no! This dragon girl’s mouth is too arrogant, she provokes others too easily. Even Luo Xianxiu, who’s been acting so reserved, is getting upset because of her words.’

“What? You want to fight me? Since we’re family, I’ll tolerate your words this time. But watch your mouth, or you’ll feel the strength of my peak Golden Core cultivation, which rivals a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!”

"Enough with your arrogance! You're just a pet, how dare you insult me, a princess of the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom! I will surely beat you until you can't speak!"

“Yes! Go for it, Junior Sister, I, RuanRuan, support you! Beat that demon!”

‘Wow! I just took my eyes off them for a moment, and now they’re about to fight. Also, RuanRuan, what’s with your attitude? Instead of stopping them, you’re encouraging your junior sister.’

“Enough, all three of you. Don’t be so noisy, it’s already night. Since no one wants to sleep with Linglu, she’ll sleep with Master.”

“Wait, Master! Why does this demon get to sleep with you? Let her sleep outside, anyway, her thick skin won’t let her feel the cold.” RuanRuan quickly responded when Vheena suggested Linglu sleep with her.

“As if I, a princess of the divine dragon race, would sleep outside! You’re just mad because you heard I’ll be sleeping with Master!”

“You! Master, let this demon sleep in RuanRuan’s room, while RuanRuan will sleep with Master.”

“No! I’m going to sleep with Master! You’re not invited, don’t take my chance to sleep with Master!”

“You brat! You’re new here, Master is closer to me! Don’t be arrogant!”

“Hahaha! Master still chose to sleep with me!”

“You two stop fighting! Master already said not to be noisy!”

“But Junior Sister, this demon has been provoking me all this time!”

‘What’s going on with this drama? I was just trying to find a room for Linglu, and since no one wanted to, of course, I decided to let her sleep with me. But now they’re fighting over who gets to sleep with me? Also, RuanRuan, your intentions are clear—you just want to sleep with me. But I can’t let that happen, because with your immense strength, I’d be afraid you’d crush my bones if you hugged me while sleeping.’

"That's enough, all three of you be quiet. RuanRuan, stay in your room and let Linglu sleep with the master."

"But master! I-if that's the case, why don't we let this demon sleep in junior sister's room, while junior sister can sleep with the master?"

'What! Ruan-Chan, although your suggestion is good, unfortunately, I, your master, am not sure if I can maintain my composure. Just look at your junior sister's sexy body, I'm sure her chest is big, and I fear that will awaken my desires. I might end up molesting her while we sleep together, so just let me sleep with Linglu. It's because I want to study biology— I mean, this dragon girl seems to be the only one who is not dangerous to me, maybe?'

"That's enough, senior sister Ruan, I'm sure the master has her reasons for inviting Long Linglu to sleep with her. So just let it be."

"Ugh, b-but... the master will be taken away from me, the master's bed is only mine... hiks..." replied Ruan Xiaoyue in a very soft voice after hearing her junior sister speak to her.

After that unclear drama, Vheena went to take Long Linglu to her room, leaving RuanRuan kneeling in sadness and Luo Xianxiu with a blank expression after hearing her senior sister's reasoning.

When sleeping together, of course, Vheena did—nothing. The two of them slept soundly, though Vheena had a bit of trouble breathing because Long Linglu's tail was choking her neck.
