I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Shelley rolled her eyes at Noah, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily.

"What did you prepare for me this time? Another teacher's outfit?"

"No, no, no, this time I've prepared a completely new profession for Lord Shelley!"

Noah shook her head and said with a strange smile.

"In short, you'll know once you put it on, Lord Shelley..."

Shelley looked at Noah's expectant eyes and knew she couldn't refuse the dress.

"what!"

Ten minutes later, when Shelley came out of the room, Noah couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Shelley was wearing a light blue shirt with a black bow tie around her neck, and a black and white striped skirt that perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

Her long, slightly wavy golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, shimmering slightly in the sunlight like fragmented sunlight. Her blue eyes held a hint of shyness and distress, and one delicate hand gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

Noah felt tears welling up again, and he almost shouted, "My youth is back!"

Compared to the teacher's uniform last time, this time the student uniform lacks maturity and sophistication, but it brings out Shelley's unique student-like naiveté and innocence.

If Noah had a female student like that in high school, she definitely wouldn't have passed the college entrance exam; she would have focused all her attention on dating.

Shelley turned her head away, becoming even more embarrassed, when faced with Noah's intense gaze.

"Is this how Noah dresses? Will I look weird...?"

"No, not at all surprising! If the maximum score is ten, I'd give it ten thousand!"

Noah gave two thumbs up and said excitedly.

"Really? But why does this skirt seem a bit short? Noah, did you do something wrong?"

Shelley tugged at her skirt, which didn't even reach her knees, her face full of distress.

"No, the skirt should be this short!"

Noah took out his easel and paintbrush, his golden eyes radiating an eerie light.

"Huh? What are you talking about? It's so short, it's easy for it to expose you..."

Shelley shuddered, as if she had been awakened, and looked at Noah with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You perverted maid, now I know what your evil intentions are! You..."

Shelley strode toward Noah as she spoke, determined to deal with this freak!

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when her light skirt started to fly up, and it looked like the world underneath was about to be revealed!

"ah!"

Shelley gasped in surprise, quickly pressing down on her skirt with both hands, her anger instantly turning into shyness. Her pale blue eyes glistened with tears.

"Now!"

Noah exclaimed, picked up her paintbrush, and quickly painted Shelley's shy face onto the paper.

"Lord Shelley, let's change positions!"

Noah looked at Shelley and said loudly.

"Go ahead! You pervert... Ouch!"

Shelley's skirt billowed up again, and in her haste, she managed to press the playful skirt down.

Wuhu!

Noah's paintbrush never stopped; one Shelley after another, in different poses, was painted on the paper...

Noah was just having a good time, and for every good time he had, he was going to get beaten up.

Shelley sat on the bed, panting, while Noah's drawings were scattered all over the floor, and she herself lay on top of them, her index finger pointing forward.

If there were background music playing right now, it would definitely be "The Flower of Hope"!

"This is the price you pay for mocking me!"

Shelley looked at Noah lying on the ground, her face full of anger.

"Huh? Shelley seems to be having a lot of fun?"

Noah slowly raised her head from the drawing paper, touched her red nose, and said with a embarrassed look.

"Who's happy? It's all because of your damn skirt that I almost embarrassed myself!"

Shelley held down her skirt with one hand and waved her fist at Noah with the other.

"I think that dress definitely has its own ideas..."

Noah touched her chin and said in a serious tone.

"You still dare to talk!"

Shelley raised his fist and punched Noah in the forehead.

"Alright, alright, I'm not joking anymore. Now that the painting has been changed, Lord Shelley, let's change our clothes!"

Noah slowly got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and said with a smile.

"Change clothes? Didn't you want me to go out in these clothes?"

Shelley paused slightly, then spoke instinctively.

"Lady Shelley, how could I possibly let you go out in such a short skirt!"

Noah frowned and said with a serious expression.

"What if someone sees you exposing yourself?"

Do you think you have the right to say that?

Shelley was so angry she laughed, and she couldn't help but complain.

"I'm different. I'm Lady Shelley's maid. Forget about underwear, even if I saw you naked..."

Noah patted her chest, looking righteous, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Shelley's murderous gaze.

Noah swallowed hard and said with an awkward smile.

"Even if I see it, I will pretend I didn't see it unless I have Lord Shelley's permission."

"Shut up!"

Shelley stepped forward and covered Noah's mouth with her entire palm, saying angrily.

Noah felt the soft touch on her lips, and she was slightly taken aback. Then she remained still and simply winked at Shelley.

Shelley realized that what she was doing was wrong, and she quickly withdrew her hand, her face showing an indescribable emotion that was neither shyness nor anger.

"Well, Lady Shelley, I'll leave this dress here. You can change into it yourself at your leisure. Once you're done, we'll go on a picnic..."

Noah lowered her skirt, then retreated to the doorway in a panic. After saying this, she quickly closed the door.

Shelley wasn't the only one embarrassed; Noah herself was even more embarrassed. Her heart was pounding like she'd run a marathon.

Just because someone touched your lips, you're already smitten? Noah, isn't that like dating a virgin who's just started dating...?

Ah, no, it's virginity... that's even more wrong, I'm already a virgin! Why would I need to pretend?

Noah crouched in the corner, her mind a complete mess. She touched her lips, seemingly savoring the feeling from just now.

Just as Noah was filled with pink emotions, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a pair of beautiful legs in white stockings appeared in front of Noah.

"What are you doing here, you idiot?"

Shelley gently brushed her long hair aside and looked at Noah speechlessly.

"Lord Shelley, it wasn't me..."

Noah quickly withdrew her finger, looking flustered, her gaze involuntarily shifting downwards.

Lady Shelley was wearing the black and white striped long dress that Noah had prepared for her, which covered her completely, only revealing her calves and ankles clad in white stockings.

Shelley noticed Noah's gaze and instinctively covered her skirt, speaking with some wariness.

"You're not trying to peek under my skirt again, are you...?"

"If I wanted to watch, would I watch secretly? I always do it openly and honestly... Ouch!"

Noah, with his sharp eyes, noticed Shelley silently extending her palm, from which an ice spike appeared. She wisely shut her mouth.

"How much longer are you going to sit on the ground, you maid?"

Shelley walked up to Noah and reached out her hand to him.

Noah smiled slightly, reached out and took Shelley's soft, boneless hand, then slowly stood up.

Noah slowly raised her head, and she seemed to see Shelley also smiling slightly.

"Let's go. I won't give you any rest this time. I'm going to punish you properly!"

Shelley turned around and said with great righteousness.

"You'd better prepare yourself mentally!"

"Yes, Lady Shelley, please do not pity me just because I am a delicate flower!"

"Don't say strange things!"

The two beautiful girls left the house amidst their bickering, and Noah noticed that Shelley seemed to be much closer to him this time.

The two walked side by side, like close friends, like family, or perhaps like a couple...

Shelley was to train in the forest where Noah had encountered the god of springs, but on the other side of this forest lay a vast grassland.

An endless blue sky, boundless grasslands, and a comfortable breeze.

Noah took a deep breath. The air here was not only refreshing, but also contained a lot of magical elements. It was indeed a good place to practice magic!

"We're really lucky today! There should be a lot of people here!"

Shelley looked around at the empty surroundings and said something that sounded rather strange.
