Chapter 393: The World

To facilitate discussion of their subsequent plans, Lin Yu led her daughters out of the dragon cave and into the grand hall of the adjacent villa.

The villa’s first-floor hall was not only spacious but also bathed in bright light.

The daughters settled in clusters around tables and sofas, while those without seats retrieved spare chairs from their Magic Backpacks, nestling close to their sisters. Lin Yu sat at the sofa’s center, encircled by her daughters, with Red Pupil and Stealth One flanking her.

The sensitive girl pressed against Lin Yu’s side, her limbs growing faintly weak as she felt the delicate arm and supple thigh of the young woman beside her.

As for the Earth Dragons, their massive frames prevented them from entering the villa to participate.

All except Flossie.

After trailing the group to the villa’s entrance, the dragoness glanced at the structure barely taller than herself and invoked her “Transformation” skill.

A faint shimmer illuminated the air, and where the colossal dragon had stood now appeared a striking woman in her late twenties. Her emerald-green curls cascaded around shoulders that swayed with each step, while scarlet beast-like eyes smoldered beneath an expression of ripe maturity.

The transformed figure retained draconic features: twin pairs of horns crowned her head, leathery wings arched from her back, and a thick, scale-armored tail swept behind her. Though unclothed, strategic patches of jade-green scales preserved modesty while accentuating her voluptuous curves—the scaled coverage somehow more provocative than full nudity.

Most arresting were the intricate scales partially veiling her chest, concealing all yet hinting at much as they quivered with every movement…

The white-haired girl realized her petite hands could never encompass even one of those swaying forms. Flossie’s half-human physique seemed to surpass even Magic Rainbow’s allure.

Neither Lin Yu nor the daughters had anticipated this metamorphic ability. They stared in collective astonishment.

Contrasting their shock, Flossie basked in the attention, striding toward the entrance with regal poise.

“Tch. Strutting naked without shame—how disgracefully Mother carries herself,” came Orna’s icy remark from behind.

Flossie’s face stiffened, then flushed with rage. As she whirled to confront the impudent daughter, Magic Rainbow intervened with a gentle tug and warm smile.

“Who could imagine Flossie’s semi-human form would be so captivating? You’ve stolen our breath away.”

“Have I now?” The dragoness arched an eyebrow, preening.

“Naturally. My splendor stands peerless among draconic kin…”

During this bout of what might be called either confidence or vanity, Magic Rainbow gradually guided her into the villa. Though clearly boasting, none could deny Flossie’s breathtaking appearance.

…

Once inside, the dragoness was duly seated among the gathering.

She settled beside the yellow-haired giant wolf whose massive frame barely squeezed into the living room, initiating their strategic discussion.

The primary requirement became clear – only daughters capable of human transformation could openly investigate the reincarnators. The current roster of shape-shifting daughters included: Red Pupil, Little Tear, Army Lady, Lvzi, Stealth One, Magic Rainbow, Darkling Stalker, Purple Cloud, Purple Mist, Weak Sound, Worker Liquor, Ji Qiao, Demon One, Demon Two, Military One, Military Two, Dig One, and Dig Two. A careful count revealed eighteen transformed daughters – an unexpectedly high number considering the energy expenditure required for imparting crucial skills like “Immortality.” Without such resource-intensive enhancements, the transformation-capable cohort would undoubtedly be larger.

Their visible operatives would include Flossie, another human-form shapeshifter, and the non-transformed yellow-haired companion who served both as mount and spiritual vessel. For covert operations, nearly two thousand Stealth Ants stood ready with concealment skills like Stealth, Hidden Shadow, and Invisibility. While a contingent remained to guard Granville Monster Forest and the anthill, most could either shadow-protect the daughters or form reconnaissance teams like those deployed in the southern hills. Remarkably, all except newly hatched Stealth Ants had attained Class B status – their formidable combat reputation well-earned. Even elite Class A units like Army Lady’s cadre would struggle against coordinated ambushes by these shadow warriors.

After finalizing personnel assignments, Magic Rainbow produced the world map from Lord Simon’s library using her Magic Backpack, pinning it to the villa wall for collective scrutiny. “This continent maintains equilibrium through three power blocs,” she declared, materializing a pointer stick. The white-haired strategist indicated western regions first: “Our Granville Monster Forest lies in Rollo Kingdom’s southwest. This realm contains three duchies – Aowenduo Town’s Duchy of Ma’ika here,” her stick tapped parchment, “the Duchy of Donelas across these woodlands and waterways, and the distant Principality of Reba here.”

Shifting eastward, the pointer emphasized the crimson-marked Eastern Deta Empire. “This human superpower eclipses Rollo’s might.” The stick then swept southward: “The fractured Southern Alliance clusters subhuman kingdoms and orc tribes, with rumored dwarf and elf factions complicating their politics. This triad balance – western Rollo, eastern Deta, southern coalition – has preserved continental stability for millennia.”
