The villain daughter did all kinds of things

As for the pitfalls involved... Connor can only hope that his preparations are effective and that he can survive Emerald's scheme.

Connor was confident in his life-saving measures. As long as he wasn't seriously ambushed by an ancient dragon-level monster or a fusion-stage powerhouse, he was sure he could survive.

It's done!

At the very least, my dignity as a man cannot be insulted!

Connor finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, raised the Dragon Slayer Spear as if to throw it, and aimed it at the dying red dragon.

"Go to hell!"

The fear and pressure in his heart were released with this roar. The blood-red magic light of the Dragon Slayer Spear tore through the air in an instant, like a chopstick inserted into a soft cake, and shot into the red dragon's head from the front.

The red dragon, already reduced to a sliver of health, didn't even have time to utter a final scream before this attack completely ended its life.

The teachers and students of Lohid Magic Academy were somewhat dissatisfied with Connor's act of stealing kills, but Ark would take care of appeasing them, as Ark and Amelie had agreed upon beforehand.

Once the red dragon was completely killed, the hunting trial was considered complete.

According to the plan, the hunting party will set up camp near the dragon's nest, share the dragon meat together at night and have a bonfire party to celebrate, then stay in the tents for the night and return early the next morning.

Because the red dragon's body had been ravaged by too much magic, many of its materials had been destroyed. The teachers and students of the Lohid Magic Academy, as well as the invited guests, didn't want it and simply treated it as food.

The one in charge of cooking the whole red dragon was, of course, the beautiful Lian in her cheongsam.

She had clearly planned the cooking scheme in advance. Her movements were fluid and graceful. With her excellent culinary skills and magical artifacts, she presented everyone with a complete dragon feast with twenty-eight different ways to eat a dragon in less than an hour.

Depending on individual tastes, everyone chose their preferred way of eating dragon meat.

Most teachers and students at Lohid Magic Academy prefer pan-fried and grilled dragon meat steaks, paired with Lian's secret spicy sauce, making many people's mouths water with the grease.

Marcy and Viliana, the two elves, also enjoyed eating roasted dragon meat steaks. They both chose the best quality dragon tenderloin, but instead of using Lian's secret spicy sauce, they just sprinkled some salt and pepper on it and ate it plain.

Actually, Marcy would have preferred to marinate some of her own collection of dragon meat chops, but since this was a public social occasion, and her little hobbies were too embarrassing to share, she held back.

Yulia still had a sweet tooth. She first ate several pieces of honey dragon meat, and then drank a bowl of sweet dragon tendon and white fungus porridge, looking very satisfied.

As the youngest daughter of the Melson family, Lulu has tasted all sorts of delicacies; dragon meat is just an ordinary ingredient to her.

She was originally very interested in Lian's secret spicy sauce, but Emily wouldn't let her eat it, so she could only eat a little bit. She would take a couple of bites and then throw the food away, showing no care whatsoever.

Fortunately, the red dragon was big enough to feed the hunting party for several meals, so no one said anything about Lulu's behavior... She's just a kid, as long as she's happy.

When Amelie first came to this world, she was a little curious about dragon meat, but after eating it more, she felt that it was just so-so... In her opinion, the meat of an ordinary dragon was probably similar to the taste of a combination of crocodile meat and beef in her previous life, nothing special.

However, among Lian's twenty-eight ways of eating, there was one that piqued Amelie's interest, and she ate quite a bit of it.

This way of eating doesn't involve dragon meat, or even dragons; it involves rice.

Of course, it's not ordinary rice, but rice with dragon bone marrow broth.

After cutting a dragon bone and removing the marrow, a sauce is made using the marrow as the main ingredient. This sauce is then mixed with washed, top-quality rice. The rice is then stuffed back into the dragon bone and steamed to make a fragrant dragon bone marrow rice dish.

It's rice, but the natural aroma of pork bones has already permeated the rice grains, and the bone marrow juice further optimizes the texture of the rice grains, making them chewy and springy.

Even though Emerald still found Rei highly suspicious, she had to admit that Rei's cooking skills were truly amazing.

After eating three whole servings of dragon bone marrow broth rice, Emerald's eyes were still shining, and the thought of directly taking Rei home to be her cook had crossed her mind many times, but she suppressed it with willpower.

Chapter 166 The Dragon of Revenge Descends, The Fiancé's End

One dragon ate twenty-eight different things in one meal, making the entire hunting team feel refreshed and happy.

Hunting ordinary dragons isn't particularly difficult, but dragon meat is still the most prized ingredient, because dragons have now retreated to the northern snowfields, where they have been nearly wiped out by greedy humans and elves.

So, apart from the most powerful and influential figures, dragon meat is not something that many ordinary rich people can eat whenever they want, let alone the teachers and students of the magic academy. It is definitely a very rare and delicious feast.

After enjoying a delicious meal and resting for a while, the celebration party for the successful hunt officially began.

The students lit a large bonfire on the snow, and men and women danced hand in hand. Their laughter and chatter carried far across the snowy plains at night, and every now and then, someone would get too excited and launch fire or lightning magic into the sky to add to the festivities.

After enjoying the food and dancing, people will naturally urge others to perform.

At first, it was just the teachers and students of Lohid Magic Academy playing around, but gradually even the guests were drawn in.

Lian initially joined the celebrating teachers and students to celebrate with them, and performed a rather wonderful tap dance while wearing a short cheongsam and black stockings.

Then Starling, unable to resist the urge, impulsively rushed up and used her innate magic to perform various coin-themed magic tricks, making everyone laugh.

After Starling finished her performance, she immediately set her sights on her best friend Emerald, and led the chorus of encouragement for Emerald to perform a show for everyone as well.

Normally, the teachers and students of the magic academy would never dare to force Miss Melson, but tonight is a special case. Everyone is in high spirits, and even Ark doesn't care about the students' antics. He and his wife just watch the show with a smile.

Young people are never short of bold ones, and once the atmosphere gets heated, someone quickly shouts out, and then everyone else follows suit.

"Young Miss! We want to see that one! The one from 'Yulia 2'!"

"That?... Ah, yes, yes, I want to see it too! I really want to see it!"

"Yes, yes, Miss, please give us another live performance! Please, I'll do anything!"

……

"These guys..."

Emerald clicked her tongue in exasperation, then glanced at Julia, who was blushing with embarrassment.

What is the most memorable scene in the movie "Yulia 2"?

The scenes of Yulia descending from the sky to save the tourists and beating Sulina to her knees were indeed spectacular, but the most popular scene was when Emery, dressed as the "Saintess," gave Yulia a buff, namely the "Saintess's Kiss" in mid-air.

"You...you shouldn't actually go along with their nonsense..."

Julia tugged at Emerald's sleeve and whispered, but it was clear she didn't mean it; her bright eyes were full of anticipation.

"...Then let's go~~"

Suddenly, Emerald smiled, then spun around amidst the screams of the students and changed into her new outfit, "Saintess," before reaching out and wrapping her arm around Julia's waist.

"Huh? Huh? Emery, are you serious... Ugh!!"

Yulia pretended to protest in a panic, but in reality she didn't resist at all. After being kissed, she closed her eyes comfortably, and her expression gradually became one of enjoyment.

"Oh~~~~"

The students shouted excitedly, and many girls took advantage of the moment to hug and kiss their best friends—most of those best friends, like Yulia, would offer a few token resistance before starting to enjoy it.

I don't know who started clapping first, but then the applause came in waves, and everyone offered their blessings in a friendly manner.

Only one person watched everything with a blank face, not saying a word, only finding the students' excited cheers very noisy.

This person was none other than Connor Holm. Although he had known about Emerald for a long time and had never had any great illusions about Emerald herself, it was impossible for him not to feel awkward seeing his fiancée showing affection to someone else in public.

But what can you do if it feels awkward? You can only endure it.

Even Amelie, the eldest daughter of the Melson family, personally performed a show, making it difficult for the other invited guests to refuse the students' encouragement, and they all showcased their talents as well.

These top-tier chaebol heirs and daughters are all elite-educated and possess considerable skills, so handling such situations is no problem for them.

Even Brut Vance, a man who weighs at least 250 pounds, can play a rather melodious and beautiful piece on the violin.

The group played around like that until almost midnight before heading back to their tents to rest.

The snowy plains at night still carry the risk of monster attacks, so the tents of the teachers from the Lohid Magic Academy and the tents of the guests' bodyguards are located on the outermost edge, responsible for nighttime vigilance. The tents of the guests and students are located in the inner circle, under protection, where they can sleep peacefully.

Given Amelie's status, her tent should have been in the very center, but she chose a spot on the inner edge, closest to the outermost perimeter. Connor Holm, on the other hand, shamelessly pitched his tent next to the students' tents, clearly showing his cowardice.

Ever since the celebration ended, Emerald had been looking serious. She had only put on the magical costume "Saintess" because the students were teasing her, and she hadn't even taken it off after entering the tent.

Yulia was completely confused, but something even more puzzling soon happened.

Almost as soon as they entered the tent, Viliana suddenly made her move, using a sleep spell to knock Lulu, who was clinging to her sister for a hug, to the ground, and then carrying her on her shoulder with one arm.

Emerald had clearly anticipated this, and it was even her order; immediately after Lulu collapsed, she nodded to Viliana and Marcy.

"You guys should retreat first. You probably won't be of much help in the upcoming battle. Take Lulu and stay far away, and take good care of her for me."

"Yes, Miss (Master)."

Both Marcy and Viliana looked serious, with Marcy even changing into her battle maid outfit.

Viliana then used teleportation magic to leave the tent with Marcy and Lulu.

"...What's wrong, Emery?"

Julia finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Emerald's hand, asking:

"Could it be that enemies are coming? But wasn't that red dragon already killed?"

"...The red dragon is indeed dead, but that red dragon was not alone."

Emery paused for a moment before sighing:

“Before coming here, I investigated through another intelligence network. The intelligence indicated that the red dragon likely had a mate, a powerful female shadow dragon. Shadow dragons are best at stealth and ambushes. Now that the red dragon has been killed, I am worried that the shadow dragon will retaliate, which is why I had Anna take Marcy and Lulu and teleport away first.”

"Huh? There's another dragon?"

Yulia paused for a moment, then quickly showed a worried expression:

"Do Mr. Nayak and the others know? What about the teachers and students at the academy? Emerald, did you remind them beforehand?"

"……No."

Amelie shook her head:

"This is just a rumor, and the chances of it being true are very low. I can't easily say it out loud... Besides, look how happy everyone was just now. Do you really want to spoil their fun?"

"That... is true."

Julia first agreed with Emery's statement, then glanced at Emery's magical armor, the Saintess's Robe, and a look of realization appeared in her eyes:

"So, Emery, you're planning to step in and increase the security yourself?"

"Yes."

Emery smiled and nodded:

“I don’t want to disturb the students’ celebration, and I’m also worried that there might be real danger. So, I guess I’ll just have to work harder and keep watch for them. But Yulia, you’ll be with me, right? Actually, there’s no need to worry too much. Lohid is still very powerful… If a strong enemy really attacks, we just need to defend against the first wave of attacks, and then we can just watch the show.”

"Of course! I will always protect Emerald!"

Julia first clenched her fist to show her determination, and then her eyes gradually turned into little stars as she looked at Emerald:

"And Emerald, you're so kind! You even thought of the students and didn't want to disturb their celebration, so you kept watch for them yourself... Waaah, Emerald, how could you be such a good person!"

That's so that the Shadow Dragon attack can kill that nobody fiancé with 100% certainty!

"That's because Yulia's here, of course!"

Emery smiled brightly, and sweet words, completely different from what she truly felt, flowed from her lips:

"In Miss Lian's hometown, there's a saying: 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red.'... I've been friends with you, my heroine Yulia, for so long, it's only natural that I'd become kinder, isn't it? Just as the sun's rays can warm all things, Yulia's kindness will also make many others kinder~~"

"Really? I didn't even know I had this ability..."

Yulia blushed instantly, her head spinning. Despite not having drunk a drop of wine, she seemed drunk, her charm captivating.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, in the night sky above the snowfield.

A cloud of mist appeared normal, but hidden within it was a colossal creature, over twenty meters long with elegant lines and mysterious, beautiful purple scales... It was the female Shadow Dragon that had just broken through to the Ancient Dragon level.

It actually arrived in the evening, but it was too late. It could only watch helplessly as its husband was dismembered and then eaten by humans.

Shadow Dragon really wanted to launch an attack and kill all the humans below, but it didn't.

It could sense that there were strong humans of equal strength among them, and that some humans, though seemingly relaxed, were actually still vigilant, making a hasty attack unlikely to yield significant results.

The Shadow Dragon was not satisfied with the results of the battle. It wanted to wipe out as many of these humans as possible, so it chose to bide its time. It activated its Shadow Dragon talent and hid in the clouds high in the sky, waiting for the most suitable opportunity to strike.

Now is the chance.

After the celebration, most of the humans went into their tents and fell asleep quickly, including even the powerful one.

Although a small number of humans remained on guard around the camp, the teachers of the Lohid Magic Academy, who were only at the level of mages, were not taken seriously by the Shadow Dragon at all.

That's it now!

Having suppressed its anger and secretly accumulated magic power all night, the Shadow Dragon was about to unleash what was likely the strongest cursed fire breath of its life.

Shadow Dragon's eyes were fixed on one spot.

Although she did not witness firsthand how her husband died in battle, she could clearly sense that the murderer who ultimately killed her husband was right there.

The murderer must be given the most painful death! Being reduced to ashes is far from enough; let him suffer for several days under the scorching heat of the cursed flames before dying!

With this belief, the full power of the Ancient Dragon-level Shadow Dragon's breath descended.
