I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Noah quickly stepped in front of Shelley, who became more alert as she watched the shadow that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Indeed, the guy was shrouded in shadows, the only thing visible was his golden eyes, which resembled blooming mandalas, and he held a little boy and a little girl in each hand, exuding a kingly majesty.

The shadow looked at Shelley, let out a cold laugh, and then a golden flame shot out from her mouth, instantly setting the small town beneath her feet ablaze.

The once quiet world was instantly filled with screams and shrieks, and the entire sky turned blood red.

"Sister, come quick, save us!"

"Sister, I'm so hot..."

The little boy and girl were sobbing incessantly, their four pale blue eyes looking at Shelley with pleading and pain in them.

"Helen, Harry..."

Shelley recognized the two children too. She covered her mouth, her face showing disbelief.

"Lord Shelley, step back, leave this to me!"

Noah stood in front of Shelley, and she spoke with a serious expression.

"Noah, no, get out of the way! That guy's coming for me!"

Shelley looked at Noah, who was blocking her way, and with a look of fear on her face, she gave a loud command.

"It's alright, Lord Shelley. Although this guy is also a dragon, his strength is far inferior to mine. Behold my invincible Great Fireball Technique, eh?"

Noah tried to cast a spell on the shadow in the sky, but she suddenly realized that her body had no magic power at all.

Noah then realized that he was currently in a meditative world, and his abilities in the real world were completely unusable!

Just as Noah was completely bewildered, the shadow in the sky teleported in front of her, transforming into a black dragon that swallowed Noah whole.

The moment Shelley was swallowed, all color vanished from her eyes.

These are all... things I created in my meditative world. As long as I concentrate, I can create them again... That's clearly how it is...

Shelley clutched her chest, even though she knew that the Noah she had created was just a figment of her imagination and the real Noah was perfectly safe. But the moment she saw that familiar figure being devoured was still unbearable.

Shelley felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being torn apart.

After the dragon devoured Shelley, it carried the little boy and girl away into the distance.

"Noah, Helen, Harry!"

Shelley could no longer hold back; tears streamed down her face, and she unleashed the magic she possessed.

She tossed a small ice spike into her hand, which flew through the air and grew larger and larger until it became an iceberg that pierced the black dragon's head with perfect accuracy.

The black dragon let out a miserable cry and crashed to the ground, quickly coming to a stop moving.

At this moment, Shelley was wearing a sorceress's hat and a purple robe with rose gold patterns, exuding endless magic.

However, Shelley didn't care about her current state. She ran towards the black dragon, shouting loudly as she ran.

"Noah, Helen, Harry, are you all alright...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the two boys and girls emerged from under the dragon, crying and screaming, and rushed into Shelley's body. Noah also slowly crawled out of the dragon's mouth, waved to Shelley, and indicated that he was safe and sound.

"Helen, Harry, your sister has brought you back. Your sister has fulfilled her promise to you."

Shelley stroked the two children's heads, looked at Noah with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

Noah, watching this scene with a look of satisfaction, said thoughtfully.

"Protecting family members from bad guys, that must be Shelley's desire, right? The desire to protect everyone, that's really Shelley's style, isn't it?"

“But now that the desire has been found, this world is no longer useful, and Lord Shelley’s essence can be born. But why…”

"This world isn't over yet?"

Noah looked up, a hint of confusion on his face. The sky was still a clear blue, showing no signs of collapse.

Chapter 116 The Soft-Hearted Lady Shelley

Inside Examination Room 13 at Snow Eagle Magic Academy.

Within just twenty minutes, almost all the examinees present had completed their second exam.

After all, the search for the origin is not very complicated. It involves finding one's own desires and combining them with one's own magic to form the origin.

The difference between magic and desire can create vastly different origins. For example, the first to form an origin was Miss Alice, whose origin was the "Holy Fire Angel." This "angel" suppressed all other origins on the field as soon as it was born.

Regardless of strength or weakness, this test is still very simple. After all, how could one not know one's own desires?

So almost everyone has revealed their true nature to Miss Bella, except for that one person…

Bella looked at Shelley, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Forty minutes had passed since the second exam began, with twenty minutes remaining, yet the girl still showed no signs of waking up.

Her eyes were closed, and the magic power on her body was constantly being condensed and reorganized, clearly indicating that she had not yet broken free from the world of meditation.

"Hmph, it seems her talent is still not enough? She hasn't been able to condense her origin after so long."

Alice looked at Shelley, shook her head, and said expressionlessly.

"Doesn't that just mean she doesn't have the talent to be a magician?"

"Alice, you can't say for sure..."

Bella carefully observed Shelley's expression, a strange smile appearing on her face, and responded softly.

"The best is the one that costs the least amount of essence. That's the law of magic. Shelley Brenda, what good essence could you possibly have that took so long to obtain?"

Alice looked at Shelley with a disdainful expression and muttered to herself.

"As expected, she was just lucky to gain the allegiance of the pure-blooded dragons. In that case..."

“My dear Bella, that’s not necessarily true.”

Belle stretched out her finger and shook it gently. She took a sip of her drink and said calmly.

“Those who generally fail to condense their own essence usually have constipated or goblin-like faces, looking like they're straining a lot. This is because their potential and magic power simply cannot support the birth of their essence. But Brenda is different…”

"Look at her calm expression, and her magic power is steadily increasing, which means she's successfully condensed it. But... maybe she's encountered something interesting?"

Meditation World

Noah looked up at the azure sky, a habit she had developed every day after waking up.

She wanted to see if the sky had collapsed as she had imagined, but every time she looked at it, the sky was so perfect, without a single cloud, looking as perfect as the ceiling above a prison.

According to the timeline of the meditation world, Noah has been trapped in the meditation world for three months.

Over the past year, she has watched Lord Shelley do what he wanted to do, become a beloved lord, accompany his younger siblings as they grow up, and receive a royal medal and become the honorary principal of Snow Eagle Magic Academy.

I've done everything I wanted to do, but the sky looks no different from usual, and this world shows no sign of ending, continuing to operate like a normal world.

Noah was getting a little frantic, but Lady Shelley seemed quite calm. She lived a peaceful life every day, helping others in the name of a magic master.

Of course, I spend most of my time with my younger siblings and worry about their studies every day.

To be honest, Noah felt that the coldness that Shelley had been exuding was gradually disappearing.

She has become more cheerful, her expression has softened, and she smiles more easily.

Shelley now can truly be considered a teenage girl, living a carefree and happy life.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Noah was a little frustrated. Shouldn't the most important thing now be figuring out how to leave this world?

The next time I see Lady Shelley, I must tell her that it was all a lie.

Noah, what are you doing here?

At that moment, Shelley, dressed in a white dress, appeared at the top of the stairs. She crossed her arms and spoke calmly.

"Lord Shelley, there is something I want to tell you..."

Noah immediately perked up, looked at Shelley, and said with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Are you going to resign?"

Shelley looked at Noah and said softly.

"How could that be, Noah? I can only ever be Lady Shelley's maid for the rest of my life. There is absolutely no way I could resign."

Noah immediately stood up straight and said with a serious expression.

"That's good. Ever since I became a magic master, Noah, you've been taking care of me... If I continue like this, will you resign because it's too much trouble?"

Shelley leaned against the wall, a shy yet lovely smile on her face.

"After all, no one but Noah will do..."

Noah nearly dropped the broom in her hand; she felt as if her heart had been pierced by Cupid's arrow.

Frank Shelley is the best!

The lovely Shelley is the best!

Shelley, who exudes a youthful charm, is the best!

"Don't misunderstand, I was just talking about your work skills. After all, it's rare to find an all-around maid like Noah..."

Shelley explained in a low voice, as usual.

But this time was different. The more Shelley explained, the softer her voice became, and the redder her pink face became, looking completely shy.

"Oh, by the way, Noah, I made some cake. Would you like to come down and have some?"

Shelley blushed and tried to forcefully change the subject.

"Oh, the cake made by Lady Shelley..."

Noah's expression was a bit strange; Shelley's cooking was incredibly potent...

As for the cake made by Lady Shelley, Noah hasn't tasted it, so he doesn't know how to comment on it...

Anyway, she rarely saw Lady Shelley make cakes...

"Whatever your expression is, I can make cakes and such too."

Shelley squirmed her body, looked at Noah, and pouted as she spoke.

"I wanted to make something for my younger siblings, but I'm not quite sure about the taste, so I'm asking you to try it. After all, Noah, you're all-powerful, aren't you?"
