The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 102

Seeing the affection value, Luo Qingci was almost moved to tears with joy. Her eyes reddened as she said, "System, do you know how hard it has been for me? I can finally see the exact number of my affection value. But it's still -8006. How long will it take to get it back to positive?"

The system, fully aware of Luo Qingci's hardships, couldn't help but add, "She only kissed you, and your affection value increased by 999. If you gave in to her, it might turn positive quickly."

Luo Qingci felt a pang of sourness in her heart at the system's words. She blushed and quickly waved her hand, saying, "What are you talking about? I'm her master, and she's like a child I raised... How could I possibly be with her?"

"I didn't say you had to be with her. Aren't you asking how to turn it positive? Based on my observations and analysis, this should be quite feasible," the system said earnestly, laying out its reasoning.

Luo Qingci was almost laughing in anger. "How come you've suddenly become so casual? You used to be even more aloof and serious than me. Why are you becoming so unorthodox now?"

"It's easy to transition from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. How could you remain serious?" The system continued to provoke Luo Qingci, but its tone was much lighter than before. Luo Qingci felt conflicted towards the system. She realized that her suspicions were likely correct and decided not to argue further.

Despite the laughter and the teasing, Luo Qingci couldn't help but feel a certain indescribable emotion when she thought about what had happened between her and Ruan Li. The system wouldn't lie to her, and the change in affection value was clear—she had been kissed?

Recalling this, Luo Qingci couldn't help but press her lips together. At the time, she had no awareness of the sensation or what it felt like. As she thought about it, her hand unconsciously touched her lips.

Seeing this, the system said with difficulty, "You're not reminiscing, are you?"

Luo Qingci quickly withdrew her hand, as if she had been caught off guard, and retorted, "Who's reminiscing? I didn't even feel anything. How can I reminisce about something I didn't experience?"

Her words, however, conveyed a sense of regret.

"Oh, so it's regret then."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense." Luo Qingci certainly wouldn't admit it. Her first kiss had been taken so inexplicably by that heartless little dragon, and it felt strange to her.

"You still have the nerve to say that? Other systems have all kinds of skills and abilities, but you can't even protect your host's innocence."

The system was extremely speechless. "You're the one who attracted trouble. I tried my best, but no matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up. Besides, you're both women. In your world, isn't it normal for women to hug and kiss each other?"

Luo Qingci was speechless and choked. It wasn't normal for a girl's affection value to increase by 999 just from a kiss.

"Alright, enough about this. Why do I feel like Ruan Li is becoming more and more scheming? Is that normal? Her darkening value can't have increased again, right?" She thought of the little dragon who had been so obedient and cute before, and now was teasing her and kissing her with such composure. It was quite a development.

The system checked and said with a heavy tone, "Yes, it's already at 47."

Luo Qingci felt a chill in her heart. She remembered the system's warning: once the darkening value reached 50, Ruan Li would start showing signs of change, and there was only a three-point buffer left—quite precarious.
