Chapter 69: Lilia’s Potion and Gern’s Transformation

Under the spell of hypnosis, Gern’s consciousness wavered, his heart struggling against Lilia’s command.

Noticing her command had no effect, Lilia leaned in curiously, whispering into his ear once more.

“Gern, transform into a Little Dragon Girl.”

“All… all right…”

As Lilia drew nearer, the potion’s scent clinging to her grew more potent. Even Gern, with his resolute will, found himself unable to resist its pervasive power.

The very next moment, a flash of light enveloped Gern, and his body began to shrink rapidly. Before long, her form had transformed into that of a young woman.

A pair of silvery-white dragon horns sprouted from her forehead, while a large, silver-scaled tail, breaking free from the confines of her garments, swayed gracefully behind her.

Compared to their last encounter, the Little Dragon Girl had grown considerably, her figure more developed, especially her chest, which had begun to take on a noticeable form.

Under Lilia’s hypnotic sway, the Silver Dragon Girl gazed blankly forward, her face devoid of any expression, resembling nothing so much as a docile rag doll.

Upon witnessing the Little Dragon Girl’s transformed state, Lilia’s heart quickened its pace.

Still somewhat disbelieving of the sight before her, she extended a hand and waved it gently in front of Gern’s eyes.

Gern remained perfectly still, standing obediently before Lilia, awaiting her next command.

A wicked curve played upon Lilia’s lips. She had never encountered a potion with such profound effects and wondered where Gern could have possibly acquired it.

Remembering Little Luoya’s reaction upon seeing her previously, Lilia felt an even greater appreciation for the potion’s value.

In the past, Little Luoya had always evaded her, not even daring to allow Lilia a single touch.

But today, with this potion at her disposal, Lilia could finally fulfill her desire to explore the dragon girl’s physical form.

“Little Luoya, let’s go indoors.”

The air hung silent for a moment, yet Gern remained standing inertly, without a single movement.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Lilia stroked her chin, waving her hand in front of Gern once more, but the Little Dragon Girl remained as dazed as before.

“Gern, will you come inside with me?”

She called out tentatively, and immediately Gern stirred. Lilia instantly understood.

It appeared that ‘Luoya’ was not the name the Little Dragon Girl typically used, hence her lack of response.

Could it be that Gern was the Little Dragon Girl’s true name?

“Gern, what is your true name?”

“Ge…rn.”

“Then, what about the name Luoya?”

“A pseudonym…”

Lilia stroked her chin, realizing this might be her chance to truly understand Gern.

“Gern, what kind of people are your parents?”

“Or… ordinary people.”

Lilia’s lips twitched; such an answer was as good as none at all. Consequently, she rephrased her question.

“Gern, what work does your mother do?”

“Assisting… my… father.”

‘Fine, perhaps I should stop asking,’ Lilia thought, feeling that no useful clues would be gleaned. ‘It would be better to indulge in something I enjoy first.’

Under Lilia’s command, the two soon found themselves in the bedroom on the second floor of the dormitory. The room was meticulously tidied, appearing utterly spotless.

Lilia was the first to recline in the center of the bed, her delicate nose twitching as she inhaled a faint, clean fragrance.

This particular aroma differed from the scent currently clinging to Gern; it was the inherent fragrance of the bedding itself.

Lilia rolled around on the spacious bed a few times before settling in its center.

“Gern, from now on, you shall be called Luoya. Come, lie down here with your elder sister.”

“All right… elder sister…”

Gern displayed a subtle resistance, one foot stepping forward while the other remained rooted, as if her two feet possessed independent wills.

“Pfft~”

“What are you doing? Come here, quickly.”

Seeing Gern’s peculiar stance, Lilia couldn’t suppress a burst of laughter. Then, she recalled that she still hadn’t uncovered the reason for Gern’s fear of her.

Adopting a speculative approach, Lilia casually posed a question.

“Luoya, what precisely is the reason you fear me so?”

“I… died… by your hand…”

“What?”

Lilia’s eyes widened, her sapphire blue gaze filled with both doubt and profound incomprehension.

“I…”

She extended a finger, pointing to herself, seeking to reconfirm Gern’s words.

“Mhm mhm…”

Gern nodded, then dutifully lay down on the bed, settling beside Lilia.

Lilia’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued. Leaning closer to Gern’s ear, she continued her questioning.

“If I killed you, then what are you now?”

Gern remained silent, as if no definitive answer existed.

“When did I kill you?”

“…Be… before…”

Gern’s words came out in a stutter, her consciousness seemingly warring against Lilia’s commands.

“How long ago was ‘before’?”

“A long… long… time ago.”

Lilia pressed a hand to her forehead. ‘What kind of evasive nonsense is this?’ she thought. ‘It’s as if I asked nothing at all.’

Realizing she wouldn’t extract any useful information, Lilia ultimately abandoned her attempts to probe Gern further.

“Luoya, Little Luoya, call me Master.”

“Ma… Ma…”

For some inexplicable reason, a faint blush crept onto the Little Dragon Girl’s cheeks. She stammered for a prolonged moment before finally uttering a complete sentence.

“Hello, Master…”

A joyous expression finally bloomed on Lilia’s face. Gazing at Gern’s delicate features, she felt an increasingly powerful urge to simply ‘devour’ her.

“Little Luoya, listen closely. From this moment forward, you belong only to me. You won’t interact with other girls anymore, will you?”

“…”

Gern struggled for a moment, but ultimately offered no reply. Lilia’s face immediately darkened, and a hint of something pathological flickered within her sapphire blue eyes.

“Luoya! You! Will! Not! Interact! With! Any! Other! Girls!”

She pressed down onto Gern’s body, her face contorted into a somewhat twisted expression. If Gern were conscious, she would undoubtedly be terrified by Lilia’s current demeanor.

But the current Gern was merely a hypnotized marionette, her every action dictated by Lilia’s commands.

Lilia gazed at the girl’s face, and then a sudden realization dawned on her regarding Gern’s silence.

‘Luoya is a girl,’ she mused. ‘It’s perfectly normal for girls to interact with other girls. My previous command was truly a bit unreasonable.’

She lowered her head in thought, eventually rephrasing her command.

“Luoya, from now on, you are forbidden from intimate contact with any boys. You are only permitted to like girls.”

“All right…”

Gern’s reply was immediate and clear this time, and a satisfied smile finally graced Lilia’s lips. Her face, which had been so twisted moments before, softened into an amiable expression.

“Ohh~ My sweet Luoya, you truly are the cutest girl in the world. Won’t you let me see your tail?”

Lilia tightly embraced Gern’s delicate form, holding her as one might a cherished rag doll.

Gern, in turn, cooperatively lifted her tail, allowing it to rest gently upon Lilia’s body.

Without a word, Lilia seized Gern’s tail. Gern’s body immediately trembled, her form involuntarily twitching.

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Luoya? Does that feel good?”

Gern nodded, her usually dull golden vertical pupils narrowing slightly, a clear sign of enjoyment.

“Then… what about here?”

Lilia extended a hand, gently touching one of Gern’s dragon horns.

“Mmm~”

Gern actually let out a soft moan, causing Lilia’s eyes to brighten as if she had just discovered a new continent.

“Miss Luoya, as compensation for this morning, I shall ensure you have a most comfortable night.”
