That night, Ding Nan fell into a dream while lying on the soft carpet.
In the dream, he was a peddler who delivered yogurt, but his true form was the Black Flame Dragon, a legendary being whose name struck terror into the hearts of everyone.
However, even though he was the Black Flame Dragon of the noble Dragon Race, he was still young, weak, and had a massive appetite.
He had to travel far and wide to make a living. Fortunately, he possessed a companion artifact called the Yogurt Box, which could produce one bottle of yogurt every day.
The yogurt tasted divine and was incredibly popular throughout the Ten Miles and Eight Villages.
A single cup of yogurt could actually sell for 1,000,000!
Because of this, the Black Flame Dragon’s childhood friend—who knew his true identity—had her eyes on his Yogurt Box constantly because she loved yogurt far too much.
That day, the Black Flame Dragon was exhausted from making deliveries. He sat down on a white plastic chair atop a cliff to rest.
The scenery was beautiful, overlooking a lush mountain forest and a deep valley.
*Tap, tap, tap.*
The sound of footsteps approached from behind him.
“Hey, Black Flame Dragon. Your days of sailing freely to sell yogurt are over. Hand over the Yogurt Box!”
The voice was crisp and elegant, a sound very familiar to him.
“If you want it, you’ll have to take it yourself!”
The Black Flame Dragon stood up and turned around.
Holding an uchigatana, he looked at a Black-eared Cat Girl who looked exactly like Luo Yao, dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit and white silk garter stockings.
Her long, slender tail curled upward and swayed in the air, looking quite adorable.
The Black Flame Dragon gave a confident smile and said, “You know the rules.”
“I knew you’d say that.”
The Cat Girl Maid raised her hand and summoned her Round Broom.
“How many times have we fought now?”
“It’s hard to say. In my childhood memories, we were always fighting.”
She chuckled softly, and the Black Flame Dragon laughed as well.
“It’s time to end this,” the Cat Girl Maid said, lifting her broom.
“Once and for all.”
The Black Flame Dragon raised his blade, his thumb pressing against the guard.
He took the initiative and struck first, thrusting his sword in an attempt to pierce the Cat Girl Maid’s chest.
“I can’t lose to you, sister.”
The Cat Girl Maid smirked and swung her broom.
In an instant, both the sword and the Black Flame Dragon himself were sent flying.
With a *thud*, he rolled several times on the ground in a pathetic display before regaining his senses, spinning upward, and landing on one knee.
Looking at the shattered fragments of his blade scattered on the ground, the Black Flame Dragon looked up at her in confusion.
“What power is this?”
‘Wait, is this right? Isn’t this supposed to be an evenly matched battle? Are her stats cheated?’
The broom followed closely, flying toward the Black Flame Dragon.
Startled, he used the broken blade to desperately block the attack.
He let out a muffled groan, redirecting the spiritual energy and force from the broom.
“Master, please be careful.”
“Huh?”
A thunderous boom erupted as a dark shadow loomed over the Black Flame Dragon.
He looked up to see a small mountain falling toward his head.
“Holy crap!”
The Black Flame Dragon stared at the dark mass of the mountain with a grim expression.
Almost instinctively, he reached out his hands and dug them into the mountain.
‘Okay, I can still hold it!’ he thought, feeling relieved.
Having grown up with the Cat Girl Maid, he knew that using the Mountain Moving Technique consumed a massive amount of energy.
“You can hold one, but what about two?”
“What!”
*Whoosh!* Another sizable small mountain crashed in from his side.
The Black Flame Dragon had no choice but to spread his arms to block it.
Trapped between the two peaks, he used every ounce of his strength, shouting as he tried to push them away.
“Hehe!”
The Black Flame Dragon’s face went pale with shock.
The Cat Girl Maid’s slender fingers brushed past his waist, snatching the glass jar hanging from his belt.
“No! My yogurt!”
She peeled back the foil lid of the glass jar and, like a graceful swan, poured all the yogurt into her mouth.
*Gulp, gulp.*
“Wow—that’s delicious!” she said with satisfaction.
She stuck out her tongue, skillfully licking away every trace of yogurt from her lips.
“Hah!”
Without the Cat Girl Maid’s control, the naturally powerful Black Flame Dragon finally managed to push the two peaks away.
“You have more, don’t you?”
The Cat Girl Maid smiled as her index finger traced over her cherry-red lips.
That smile sent a shiver down his spine.
Pushing the mountains had already exhausted him.
Since he was no longer at his peak, how could he possibly defeat her?
Therefore, the Black Flame Dragon decided to run.
He kicked off the air, his left foot stepping on his right, and soared into the sky.
“Thinking of running? That’s a no-go!”
The Cat Girl Maid lifted the edges of her skirt with both hands.
From within the layers of her pleated skirt, several black lace ribbons flew out.
The Black Flame Dragon was fast, but the lace ribbons were faster.
As he flew through the air, making high-speed turns, he was wrapped into a cocoon in the blink of an eye.
The Cat Girl Maid reached out and took another jar of yogurt.
She enjoyed the yogurt with a look of pure joy.
That was the second time! He never imagined he would be so weak in front of his childhood friend.
He had to go all out.
“One jar of yogurt was worth 1,000,000! 1,000,000!”
It was well known that as a member of the Dragon Race, he needed a huge amount of nutrition.
What the Cat Girl Maid was consuming wasn’t just money—it was his very nutrition!
If she kept eating like this, how could he possibly survive?
“No! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!” the Black Flame Dragon roared, his entire body erupting in black flames.
This was his Life Flame.
From within the ribbons, a fierce light gleamed in his eyes.
His body expanded as he threw his arms wide, snapping the lace ribbons that had been weakened by the heat.
“Hmm.”
The Cat Girl Maid licked her finger and chuckled.
Unfortunately, even his sudden outburst was useless.
The Cat Girl Maid appeared beneath him. Wearing her black Gothic Yabi Shoes and white silk garter stockings, her soft legs clamped around his head.
“Wait, when did you—?”
“Love you!”
The Cat Girl Maid used **[Seismic Toss: Modified]** on the Black Flame Dragon.
Dizzy and disoriented, his ears were filled with the sound of wind rushing past.
He was like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the ground.
He landed flat in a massive crater, kicking up several layers of water.
Trembling all over, he struggled to crawl back up.
At the lowest point of the forest valley, a small stream of water trickled across the ground.
Behind him, from the deep shadows of the forest, came a massive rumbling sound.
The Cat Girl Maid smiled and performed a hand seal.
The Black Flame Dragon looked back to see a massive flood emitting white mist, surging rapidly down the valley’s stream bed toward him.
The warm flood swallowed the Black Flame Dragon.
“Aaaargh!”
The Black Flame Dragon took massive damage. It was super effective.
A short while later, the torrent passed.
Exhausted, the Black Flame Dragon fell to his knees, collapsing onto the ground.
The Cat Girl Maid floated down beside him. Her ivory-white feet, as delicate as popsicles, hooked under him to flip him over before stepping firmly onto his chest.
The Black Flame Dragon no longer had the strength to fight.
“Very nice.”
She looked down at the weakened dragon with total satisfaction.
She took his final jar of yogurt.
“From today onward, whether it’s you or your Yogurt Box, everything belongs to me. I will be the one to manage and enjoy it!”
She folded her arms over her chest, looking radiant.
The cat had conquered the Black Flame Dragon!
The Black Flame Dragon looked up slightly, but from that terrible perspective, he finally lost his strength and closed his eyes.
***
Birds chirped outside.
Ding Nan suddenly snapped his eyes open and couldn’t help but complain, “What the hell was that even about?”
