I don't want to be a dragon maid!

"And your younger siblings, please take care of them. Just make sure they grow up and can support themselves. Let them see you from time to time, and tell them they don't have to be magicians, as long as they can support themselves."

"Haha, at a time like this, you're still thinking about others, Shelley? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Lanlu shook her head and said softly...

"Fear, of course I'm afraid. I'm terrified right now, and my heart is filled with resentment. I finally made it this far... I..."

Shelley's composed expression crumbled at that moment, tears welling up in her blue eyes. She took a deep breath, suppressing her grief and indignation, and a gentle smile naturally appeared on her lips.

"But I'm already very satisfied with all of this. I met Noah, became a magician, found my younger siblings, and made a bunch of friends, including... Lanlo, of course."

Chapter 412 Death and Rebirth

"Me too...?"

Lanlu tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face, and pointed to her own face, which showed some doubt.

"I thought you were treating me like a freeloader? You were always trying to kick me out."

"If I really thought you were just a freeloader, I would have kicked you out long ago. I just hope you can study more and graduate with me in the future."

Shelley looked up at the pillar of light, her gaze drifting, as if she could see the future not far away.

"At that time, our family will travel all over the world."

"Don't you think I'm in the way of your private time with Noah?"

Lanluo pointed to himself and couldn't help but complain.

"Just wait for the right opportunity! Once I give you a look, you should just leave obediently, right?"

Shelley rolled her eyes at Lanluo, and said with a serious expression,

"That's true... But when we're traveling, could you please let me go outside? I don't want to go out in the sun; I'd rather stay in my room and play games."

Shelley touched her head and spoke slowly in a consultative tone.

"No, you're going out too! You finally get to go on a trip, how can you stay in the room alone? You'll get bored!"

Shelley put her hands on her hips and said aggressively.

"Ugh...this is so mean, I really don't want to go out..."

Lanlu sighed deeply, looking troubled.

"Don't be childish... This is the first time our family has gone out to play, so of course we want to... create wonderful memories."

As Shelley was speaking, she covered her mouth and suddenly burst into tears, large tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Shelley…”

Lanluo stood there, looking at Shelley who was sobbing uncontrollably, her eyes filled with sorrow.

That not-too-distant future, that future where the whole family can go on a trip together, seems within reach, but in reality, it's already impossible.

Shelley knew this, and that's why she cried.

"Okay, I'll make one last request."

Shelley stood up and wiped her bloodshot eyes, and said softly.

"Lanluo, after you get my body, pretend to be me for a while, and then slowly reveal your true identity to Noah... I'm worried that if I tell her all at once, she won't be able to accept it, and you'll also wear the wedding dress in my place, right?"

"please."

Is that all?

Lanluo said softly.

That's all!

Shelley nodded, took a deep breath, and then a strong expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"Come on! I'm mentally prepared. Take my place, and then try your best to live on! Lanluo!"

Lanluo stood still, not moving for a long time. After a while, she put down the game console in her hand and looked at Shelley.

"Haha, Shelley, I was just joking, don't take it so seriously."

"A little...a little joke?"

Shelley blinked, then her face flushed red, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

"So, your claim of taking over my body is fake."

"That's right, that's right! How could I possibly take over your body, or impersonate Shelley Brenda? Being a top student is too tiring; being a lazy bum is my true self!"

Lanlu spread her hands, then changed the subject, her deep blue eyes as profound as the Milky Way above her head.

"So I'm going to rest forever, and the rest is up to you."

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Shelley paused for a moment, then clapped her hands and forced a smile.

"I know, it's just a joke, really, Lanluo, don't scare me."

Lanluo didn't speak, just silently looked at Lanluo, her deep blue eyes filled with reluctance.

"Is this a joke?"

Shelley's smile vanished, and she took a few steps closer to Lanluo, her eyes glazed over.

"The flesh and the soul must be combined. However, if a new soul is born from the body, the original soul can be completely sublimated using its own divine essence."

Lanluo said, word by word.

"In that case, the new soul can take control of the body, and the perfect god of the spring will be born."

"I...I don't believe it. You must have other ways."

Shelley started crying again. She reached out to grab Lanluo, but grasped at empty air.

Lanluo's body was slowly turning transparent...

"My body has been destroyed by the God of Destruction, and my soul has almost dissipated. This is my last bit of consciousness."

Lanluo looked at her transparent hands, her eyes utterly calm.

"Why...why..."

Shelley wept uncontrollably, looking at Lanluo through her tears, murmuring something.

"Actually, there's no need to be too sad. I'm just playing casually for a while. Once I've had my fun, I'll switch back to the server. Besides, my old friends are all waiting for me there."

Lanluo remained calm as she reached out her hand towards Shelley's head. A halo appeared in her hand, slowly growing larger until it enveloped Shelley.

“Lanluo…”

Shelley watched as her body gradually changed, while Lanlo completely vanished.

"Then I'll take my leave now. Don't be sad. We'll meet again someday. Please say goodbye to Noah for me and thank her for taking care of me all this time."

As the voice faded, Lanluo completely transformed into light, and Shelley was bathed in it, her soul and divinity gradually changing.

In reality, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and it looked like a storm was about to break.

At this moment, Noah, carrying Shelley, did not rush to find shelter from the rain. She watched the dark figure walking out from the street corner, her eyes full of vigilance.

"We've finally found it, but... it seems we've exhausted our last bit of strength."

The purple-haired girl kicked the two limp rats in the middle of the road with a disdainful look on her face.

"Lanlo Brenda, it seems you miscalculated. Did you think finding Noah would save your life? In the end, you still died like this."

"Who are you?"

Noah's vigilance was at its peak, and he shouted.

"Black and White Dragon God... Great Sage... No, I'll just call you by your name in this life, Noah Loran."

The purple-haired girl kicked away the mouse at her feet and slowly walked to the middle of the road, looking completely calm and composed.

"I have many names, one of which is the God of Destruction."

Noah's pupils contracted sharply, her body tensed abruptly, and she retreated abruptly. Just then, the God of Destruction threw out a handful of stones, which fell to the ground.

Although Noah managed to retreat in time to avoid it, her calf was still hit by several pebbles bouncing on the ground.

Even though Noah grew dragon scales, her calf was still pierced by a stone.

Blood and flesh mixed with blood gushed from the wound, and Noah couldn't help but cry out in pain. Then, she lost her balance and her left leg slammed onto the ground, scraping against it.

Chapter 413 Noah vs. God of Destruction

A large piece of Noah's skin was torn off, and the muscles and bones on it were instantly ground flat, rendering his left leg useless.

Noah carried Shelley on his back, and the Chaos Puzzle effect activated, removing skin and muscles from his back to repair the muscles, bones, and skin of his left leg.

The repair was completed in just a few seconds, but it didn't matter to Noah. She stared wide-eyed, and it seemed that golden flames were burning in her pupils.

"You bastard, what do you think happened to Lanluo?"

"Huh? You can't understand my language? Let me say it again."

The Goddess of Destruction tilted her head, looked at Noah with a bored expression, and said softly.

"Lanlo Brenda is dead? He died at my hands!"

Noah's pupils contracted sharply. She opened her mouth slightly and took deep breaths, her body trembling slightly.

"She must have been in great pain before she died. She could have died easily by simply giving up, but she was forced to be bound to a rat by her own spirit."

Noah bit his lip, and blood kept flowing from his teeth.

"I think this girl probably wanted to say something to you, right? It's just a pity that in the end, she died on her way to see you! She didn't even leave you a last word."

The God of Destruction looked at Noah, his eyes filled with schadenfreude.

"How pitiful..."

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you! I absolutely will!"

Noah felt an uncontrollable rage welling up from the bottom of her heart, and she roared as she punched a nearby uninhabited house.
