Is this the vacation spot of Lord Lance and the little dragon prince?


    How lovely, the blue sky, white clouds, the beach, the sea...


    Beach chairs are spaced out on the beach for people to rx, shaded by umbres, and the small tables beside them areid with various juices and fruits.


    There''s a little girl chasing the waves on the beach, and she is covered in tentacles.


    ???


    Tentacles?


    A little girl covered in tentacles?


    Isn''t she that caterpir girl that Lord Lance put in the bag the other day?


    No good, she''s not a caterpir girl... she''s a squiddy from the sea...


    In the distance, there are pedestriansing and going on the beach, dressed very lightly.


    This must be that legendary picturesque seaside town.


    Joanna, the daughter of the city lord''s mansion, is green with envy, her vacations never extend beyond the royal capital.


    The little dragon prince''s vacations... involve traveling abroad...


    Their Norde Kingdom is andlocked country, with no seaport, though there is a water city...


    "Little dragon prince, where in which kingdom''s seaside town are you and Lord Lance vacationing? This ce is really beautiful."


    ???


    Vacationing in a seaside town?


    The young dragon, who had shrunk to about one and a half meters tall, was just about to say she was ying in the territory of the Evil... Lance''snds...


    But an inadvertent nce up had her startled to find the surroundings had inexplicably changed.


    The dragon nest, the orchard, the vegetable and corn fields as well as those random things on Dragon Ind had all disappeared.


    In their ce stood rows of exquisite white and blue vis.


    The beach also appeared different.


    At some point, more pedestrians had appeared on the beach, and those people were chatting andughing in the distance, both men and women.


    And there were dogs frolicking and rolling in the sand.


    Beach chairs, juices, and umbres had also abruptly appeared on the beach.


    An illusion?


    Definitely!


    The Evil Dragon probably didn''t want Joanna to discover his real identity, so he created this half-real, half-fake vacation paradise.


    How was it done?


    How can the Evil Dragon create illusions?


    While the young dragon was perplexed, Lance was already lying on a beach chair not far away, sipping juice and enjoying his first vacation with a whelp.


    The drastic environmental change on the ind came about because he had activated a scroll.


    Giving the scroll supernatural power was an idea he got while studying cards in his spare time.


    If cards can be superhuman items, why couldn''t his paintings as well?


    Combining the features of the cards with the illusion techniques he mastered, he spent nearly ten years and some specially textured paper to turn his paintings into extraordinary items.


    The current semi-real "Seaside Town" is one of his extraordinary scrolls that, once unfolded, merged with the surrounding environment to create a half real, half illusory world.


    Simply put, Joanna, the dragon whelp, and himself were half in reality, half in the painted world.


    Joanna, being amoner, couldn''t notice; the scroll was more than enough to shield her senses.


    If the dragon whelp hadn''t spent time on the ind, she might not have noticed when the scroll was unfurled either.


    The extraordinary scroll was still not perfect.


    In Lance''s vision, the moment his extraordinary scroll unfolded, it would seal away powerful foes within.


    Or the scroll would unfurl to create a realm of its own, making those who entered believe it was a real world.


    To advance the extraordinary scroll into an exceptional magic artifact...


    ...not only required his cultivation capabilities, but also the use of various high-grade extraordinary materials.


    The scroll he was using now was made from average material—it was fine for shielding the senses of ordinary people, but a slightly powerful being with supernatural abilities would quickly realize they were in a partly false environment.


    His scroll wasn''t abat type but purely andscape scroll.


    Suitable for enjoyment.


    Joanna kicked off her shoes, grabbed the dragon whelp''s w, and frolicked on the beach, asionally scooping up a handful of sand and flinging it at the young dragon.


    At that moment, the young dragon would swing its tail back and forth, using it to sweep sand from the beach as a counterattack.


    Soon Joanna''s hair and face were covered with fine sand.


    "Little dragon prince... let''s not y with sand anymore... let''s have a water fight..."


    "Let''s go to the shallows then, don''t go into the deep water."


    "Okay."


    The young dragon and Joanna ran into the sea, stepping on the damp sand, and began a water fight, with Joanna''s clothes quickly getting soaked.


    The squid woman, amusing herself nearby, seeing the ck Dragon Family''s whelp and the adorable little human having so much fun, couldn''t resist and stealthily swam into the sea, approaching the area where the young dragon and Joanna were frolicking, and suddenly stuck out her head, spraying them with a burst of seawater.


    Unprepared, they... got a face full of seawater from the squid woman...


    Joanna was dumbfounded; she couldn''tprehend... how a squiddy''s tiny mouth... could spray so much water?


    The seawater that sprayed onto her face... was almost like giving her a bath...


    The young dragon reacted quickly, immediately using her dragon tail to p back at the seawater in retaliation, and the squiddy who was smirking drank a mouthful of the seawater that the young dragon had pped over.


    The squiddy wiped her face with a tentacle, dove into the sea, sucked in some seawater, resurfaced, and then spit out another mouthful of seawater in an attack on the young dragon and Joanna.


    This time, the volume of seawater was too much and washed the young dragon and Joanna up onto the beach....


    Joanna was close to tears, for she had never imagined that one day she would be bullied by a tentacledy from the sea....


    "Your Highness the little dragon, it seems like we can''t out-spray the tentacledy...."


    "If she can spray, so can I, watch this!"


    The young dragon got up, rushed into the sea, gulped down a mouthful of seawater, and sprayed it right back at the squiddy, hitting her squarely in the face.


    The squiddy countered by drinking seawater and spraying it out... each time managing to wash the young dragon back onto the beach.


    After repeating this a dozen times or so, the squiddy felt that bullying the dragon whelps of the ck Dragon Family and that little person was no fun. She noticed ck Dragon lying on a lounge chair with sunsses, sleeping.


    She dove into the sea and swam towards where ck Dragon was. When she reached his spot, the water she sprayed out was like a river, and with a whoosh, knocked ck Dragon right off his lounge chair....


    Hit and run after wreaking havoc, bullying the dragon whelps of the ck Dragon family was as easy as picking on kids, but bullying ck Dragon... he might get beaten up once ck Dragon reacted....


    Hehe... time to make a swift exit....


    ck Dragon got up with his sunsses on and chased after her into the sea. Did she think she could get away with a sneak attack?


    No such luck.


    On the beach, the young dragon and Joanna saw the scene of Evil Dragon Lance and the tentacledy fighting in the sea.


    Evil Dragon Lance pressed the tentacledy''s head into the sea, but she broke free and then used her tentacles to press Evil Dragon down.


    The tentacledy swung her tentacles to hit Evil Dragon.


    Evil Dragon swung his fists to hit the tentacledy.


    The young dragon watched for a while, then covered her face with her dragon w.


    An evil dragon and a deep sea siren... Why did their fighting look so childish?


    Joanna was stunned....


    Lord Lance, who usually seemed mature andposed... was now fighting naughtily with so much energy....


    She had to be a good girl, or else what would she do if Lord Lance decided to punish her in the future?


    "Your Highness the little dragon... may I ask a question?"


    "What question?"


    "Has Lord Lance... ever beaten you up?"


    "He beats me up all the time."


    "Are you a naughty little dragon?"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "???"


    Getting beaten up didn''t mean she was a naughty little dragon.


    What kind of logic was that?


    The young dragon mentally criticized Joanna.


    "They''re still fighting, Your Highness the little dragon... aren''t you going to separate them?"


    "You want me to go there and get beaten up by both of them?"


    "???"


    "Let''s go, we''ll sunbathe. I''ll apply some sunscreen on you first, and you help me take care of my dragon scales. The sunscreen can whiten and protect the skin. Later tonight, when you go back, I''ll give you a few bottles. It smells really nice and fragrant. It''s blended by Lance, everything he makes is great."


    "Okay."


    The young dragon went to apply sunscreen on Joanna. Her skin... was much worse than that of this princess, but after Joanna used the whitening skincare oilspounded and refined by Evil Dragon, her skin was sure to improve.


    After applying the sunscreen, Joanna changed into dry clothes and started taking care of the young dragon''s scales.


    The dragon scales, like purple sapphires, were truly beautiful.


    Smooth bald head, it felt incredibly good to touch.


    Ah?


    Had she forgotten something?


    She seemed to remember she had something to tell Lord Lance.


    After ying for a while... how could she forget?


    She needed to think hard, it was something important.


    Yesterday the Temple Archbishop had asked her to visit the temple... then...


    She remembered!!!


    The Fat Bishop from the Valkyrie Temple seemed to have asked her to pass a message to Lord Lance the next time she saw him... to please return the Valkyrie statue to them....


    Wasn''t the Valkyrie statue transformed into that sacred painting?


    But listening to the Fat Bishop, it seemed... as if Lord Lance had stolen... reced the Valkyrie statue from the temple?


    Just at that moment, Lance walked over.


    "Lord Lance, the Fat Bishop from the Valkyrie Temple entrusted me with a message for you."


    "What message?"


    "The Fat Bishop said... did you perhaps forget to return the Valkyrie statue?"
