Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Then, a careful comparison was made around her buttocks where a plump tail had appeared...

Qin He concluded—

"What a plump tail. The supple rebound is almost like massaging a chest, yet it adds the smoothness and resilience of dragon scales. No matter how much force you apply, it won't hurt."

"Moreover... the sleeves only take up about the size of two melons. But this strange tail is almost as long as her upper body."

With this combination, someone unfamiliar with the situation might mistake Zhong Liuxiu for a squirrel.

Chapter 13 First Entry into Another World, Three People Together

"Qin He~ Xiu Xiu's dragon tail isn't just soft. It's a benign mutation and possesses many special abilities."

Celesi used the tree species to explain the condition of Zhong Liuxiu's tail to the two of them.

It turns out that this plump, smooth tail is a rare mutation that only appears once in a million times.

It can serve many purposes, such as storing magic energy, accumulating nutrients, and confusing enemies.

In normal times, when used for combat, one only needs to concentrate and mobilize the magical energy within the tail. This tail, as soft as butter, will stand upright and become harder under the concentration of magical energy.

Zhong Liuxiu transformed into a dragon, over five meters long, slightly smaller than Qin He. Its wingspan was also slightly shorter than its body length, around five meters.

But when she swung her plump tail, the amount of wind she stirred up far surpassed that of Qin He.

Within the World Tree Garden, a large number of ordinary trees were instantly swept down.

Taking advantage of this moment, Qin He activated his dragon-human form and approached. He reached out and stroked it again, and sure enough, the tail had transformed into a smooth and heavy object, harder than steel.

When Zhong Liuxiu, in her dragon form, noticed Qin He touching her large tail, she immediately deactivated the hardening effect of the demonic energy on her tail.

Not only that, she playfully used her softened, large, fat tail to press him down, letting him experience firsthand its intoxicating smoothness and softness.

Suddenly buried under the thick, plump dragon tail and lying on the ground, Qin He was completely stunned.

It felt like being crushed into the ground by soft, supple breasts as tall as a wardrobe. Because of his advanced respiratory system, he wouldn't easily suffocate.

The gentle pressure of the dragon's tail gave Qin He and Zhou Ying a soft, tingling sensation all over their bodies.

The smooth scales were incredibly moist, rubbing against his crotch to create a sense of presence... This shows just how agile the tail was.

"This feeling...is wonderful. It's like I've turned into a spider, being held in your arms."

Upon hearing Qin He express his feelings, Zhong Liuxiu trembled all over. Then, feeling both ashamed and anxious, she kept waving her tail down, gently venting her anger by using her soft, undulating tail to crush Qin He into the ground.

"...You...you're not allowed to turn into a spider!"

Zhong Liuxiu usually dislikes small insects like spiders, which is very typical of ordinary young girls.

Aside from the powerful dragons with this mutated, thick tail, the amount of magical energy within their bodies is even higher than that of other dragons of the same species.

Inside its large, fleshy "tail" lies a second organ that stores magical energy. This part is actually the real tail; the rest sheds off periodically each month.

The excess nutrients that the dragon ingests accumulate around its tail, forming a protective layer. Fat, fibers, and other soft materials create a perfect feel.

As for confusing enemies, it does so by shaking its tail to release various fragrances. This is similar to the talent of plump, fragrant bait.

However, the natural effect of plump and fragrant bait is more powerful, attracting indiscriminately. The aroma of the tail, on the other hand, depends on many factors.

Only when Zhong Liuxiu has preyed on a creature can her tail secrete a targeted, alluring scent to attract that creature.

For example, if Zhong Liuxiu catches and eats a weak Snow Rabbit, she can emit a scent that the Snow Rabbit likes based on the roasted whole rabbit she has eaten.

In this way, once the dragon's might is withdrawn, a large group of fearless rabbits will soon come to deliver food to her.

Based on the prey's diet, this tail can be used specifically to lure and kill hard-to-find prey. It also ensures food and water availability in extreme terrains such as volcanoes and deserts.

"Sleeves, in the Land Forsaken by the Gods, you must be careful of other dragons and magical beasts, because this mutated dragon tail meat is considered the finest and most sought-after ingredient on several continents."

Celesi gave the most important advice: this tail can attract prey with its fragrance. It can also become more delicious depending on the quality of its owner's diet.

If cooked by a world-renowned chef, a single dragon tail dish can become a supreme delicacy for countless people.

"Once upon a time, when Gaia Umino blessed humanity with civilization, the most powerful empire at that time presented this delicacy made primarily with golden dragon tail."

"Nearly a thousand people at the banquet all tasted the deliciousness they had been pursuing all their lives."

That's quite mysterious. Doesn't that mean that Zhong Liuxiu's tail will become a high-quality ingredient coveted by a bunch of hungry people?

Indeed, this world is full of females. But if any creature dares to covet Zhong Liuxiu's tail, Qin He will kill it until it is forever condemned to reincarnation and becomes a vengeful spirit. He will make it taste a fate worse than death.

But Zhong Liuxiu is already thinking about making tail dishes for Qin He every day.

Anyway, the Dragon Maid manga says that the tail can easily grow back.

When asked by Seresi, Zhong Liuxiu indeed received the answer that the soft protective layer on the tail was a regenerative part.

Under normal circumstances, dragons with this type of tail can detach their tails voluntarily, just like geckos.

As long as the magic energy storage organ located in the true dragon tail is not damaged, the delicious dragon tail meat can fall off painlessly and grow back regularly.

The newly grown dragon tail, aside from not being as nutritious as before, remains unchanged in terms of combat functionality and handling. It can "mature" and drop approximately once a month.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liuxiu was quite excited.

It's decided! I'm going to add a tail dish to my signature recipes, exclusively for Qin He.

If Qin's mother and her own mother were to come to this world later, Zhong Liuxiu would also find a giant dragon with a mutated tail to buy the tail so that they could have a good feast.

After becoming familiar with their abilities, the two prepared to head to the Land Forsaken by the Gods.

Celesi will first teleport them to the outskirts of the Forsaken Lands. Choosing a suitable "spawn point" is her concern.

"Alright~ I've prepared the best landing spot for you. This is it—"

Pointing to the map projected by the light and shadow, the red dot indicated a dense jungle. Beside it was a cliff, seemingly unremarkable.

With another flick of his finger, three alluring figures instantly appeared in the light and shadow.

A nun dressed in a bunny girl-style lingerie, and a slender snow fairy with ice-blue hair and fair skin.

And a sexy female knight wielding an enormous two-handed sword.

Her ample breasts, peeking out from between her breastplates and swaying wildly through her mesh dress, were even more voluptuous than Zhong Liuxiu's.

"These three girls were outstanding talents who were lured and exiled to the land of the forsaken gods. Unfortunately, they were not very clever and affected the lord's interests, so they were framed and exiled here."

Celesi followed up:

"Qin He~ If you like, you can take them with you."

"Each of you has two spatial scales on your body, and they're the kind that people can live in. I don't need to say anything more, just do your best."

Stepping through the teleportation screen, according to the follow-up information provided by Celestia, the adventure party of the erotic nun, the snow elf, and the super-sized paladin would likely reach their destination in about three days.

During this time, Qin He and his companion must find a way to acquire the ability to subdue them by force. After all, all three of them are fifth-tier adventurers.

While it's relatively easy for races like humans to manage, the long lifespans of long-lived species like dragons also present significant drawbacks.

A dragon with exceptional talent and superior bloodline can probably reach the ninth rank within one or two hundred years. After that, it will take much longer.

Although human powerhouses have short lifespans, they still have the opportunity to attain sainthood within a few decades.

Therefore, the S-rank talent Gluttony, which can transform into a certain realm through eating, is the only option that the two of them need at present.

If we don't develop our strength quickly, we'll be at the mercy of others in the Land of Forsaken Gods.

Their next objective was actually quite simple. Near the landing site, at the foot of a cliff, Celesi pointed out a human ruin.

Rather than calling it a relic, it's more accurate to describe it as a "safe house" from that world-ending war.

These safe houses are quite well-hidden and made of very sturdy materials. They will only open when a non-monster humanoid is detected.

Therefore, some beautiful dragons or magical beasts that are interested in human treasures have more reasons to transform into human form and wander in the land abandoned by the gods.

The monster, too ferocious in appearance, and the beautiful woman, unable to transform into a human, were ultimately forced to resort to brute force to break down the door.

Next, their task was to open that long-forgotten safe house and thoroughly search for supplies inside to prepare themselves.

Next, they used Zhong Liuxiu's talent for foreseeing treasures to search for magic crystals and anything else that could help them improve their cultivation.

With such high-level equipment, he and Zhong Liuxiu could easily survive here for several days.

Qin He was even more confident that he could recruit this adventure team of three beauties into his own adventure group at minimal cost.

Chapter 14 Bunnies are cute, but they're even cuter when roasted.

Arriving at the outskirts of the Forsaken Lands, in the Sunset Forest, almost at the very edge, the main source of meat here is the most common Snowy Rabbit. However, the rabbit meat from this other world does contain some fat.

Go to higher ground, and you might be able to catch more meat, enough for half a meal, of the stag deer. Although they aren't exactly highly nutritious meats, both of these creatures are quite easy to cook.

There are also some low-level magical beasts such as wind wolves and thunder leopards, which play the role of predators here. They are roughly considered to be first-tier magical beasts.

Although Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu currently have little magical energy stored within them, the power of their dragon forms alone is enough to crush ordinary third-tier magical beasts like toys.

That golden brick, named Ten Directions Shattered, is a weapon whose power is gradually unlocked according to the owner's strength, and it is at least enough to be used until the Saint rank.

If Zhong Liuxiu, who currently has no magic energy, were to use it, she could probably kill fourth-tier magical beasts at will.

After all, the two of them are still like newborn infants. They have no magical energy to accumulate and need to gradually hunt and cultivate.

"Honey, are you hungry? Do you need us to get you some food?"

Qin He walked in a half-dragon form, while Zhong Liuxiu displayed her plump tail, which kept swaying around him.

It looked just like a well-behaved, affectionate house cat. It kept rubbing against your hand and gently brushing its tail around you.

Occasionally, she would take Qin He's hand and place it on her soft, cloud-like tail, gently stroking the scales that were much smoother than rubber stockings.

"There's no rush, Xiuxiu. If you want something to eat, once we get to the safe house over there on the other side of the cliff and we've successfully settled in, I'll go hunting."

Qin He figured Zhong Liuxiu might be craving some wild game, so he decided to cook some for him as well. He immediately patted her head.

Qin He was quite interested in these wild game. After trekking for a while, Qin He suggested that Zhong Liuxiu sit on his shoulders to walk forward.

First, enjoy the soft, bouncy feel of her plump hips and legs. Second, see if Zhong Liuxiu is heavier than before after she has an extra chubby tail.

Secondly, he also wanted to test how his physique was after awakening his bloodline compared to before.

"Okay~ squat down."

Zhong Liuxiu was initially a little worried that he might be too heavy carrying her. But... now that he had awakened the power of the dragon, she was so light that he should be able to carry her easily.

Soon, Zhong Liuxiu rolled up her skirt, and her plump hips and legs pressed against Qin He's shoulders.

Even when she was very young, she loved having Qin He carry her on his back. Now, although she hasn't grown much taller, her foundation is much more solid than before.

The soft, delicate texture deeply envelops and covers the shoulders without feeling heavy. Instead, it feels like a high-end massager soothing the shoulders.

From this position, Zhong Liuxiu playfully rubbed Qin He's cheeks with her thighs and palms. Not only that, she also bent her body, covering Qin He's head with her ample figure.

Luckily, the dragon horns grew on the sides of his head, otherwise she wouldn't be able to place this heavy, soft burden on his head and enjoy the feeling of being lazy.

As Qin He walked step by step through the path trodden by wild beasts, he felt something soft pressing against his back.

—The smooth, delicate tail kept pressing against his back due to inertia, as if a very soft water bag was hanging on his back.

"We've arrived—this is the safe house."

There is a clean stream at the foot of the cliff, which can be used as a drinking water source.

Zhong Liuxiu obediently jumped off his shoulder, and Qin He began to grope his way to the entrance among the rocks.

With a slight twist of his hand into sharp claws, Qin He suddenly broke through the cliff face, carving out a gap that stretched for over ten meters in the mountainside below.

The magical metal was quite shiny, and Qin He tried to scratch it with the tip of his claw, but failed.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Qin He suppressed all his dragon characteristics and stared at the camera crystal in human form. The still-functioning magical artifact recognized the human and immediately opened the sturdy hatch of the safe house.

Although it's a Western fantasy world, the development of magical artifacts is quite amazing.

Upon entering the safe house, an automatic, circulating light source, primarily composed of magic crystal lamps, immediately illuminates.

"The safe house at the foot of the small cliff is quite spacious. In times of war, such a safe house could form a considerable base."

There was absolutely no sign of it being used. Inside the safe house were some plots of land for cultivation, scrolls of ripening magic, and seeds of staple foods.

The refrigerated compartment also contains some poultry and livestock that can be raised for consumption, which can be released as needed.

Of course, there are also some minimum means of exploring outwards.

Besides the camera crystal, there were about a dozen nice little gadgets in a box in front of me.

Intrigued by drones, Qin He touched the propeller-equipped objects in front of him.

Beneath the magical metal shell are the power supply magic crystals and camera crystals. They are connected to the central monitoring console inside the safe house.
