Lucia, who had crashed into the Turtle Turtle three hundred times with all her might, got up from the ground and sat weakly, leaning against Turtle Turtle.

She felt like the bones in her body were about to be shattered by herself.

With the evil dragon not supervising her, there was no need for her to be so honest. She could have crashed with only half her strength, and the evil dragon wouldn't have known, and she wouldn't be in so much pain.

Whenever she had such thoughts, Eva's words would appear in her mind.

[Your Highness, if you don't work hard, if you fake it, do you think you are fooling me? Your teacher? In fact, Your Highness is fooling yourself. The knowledge you learn will become your foundation, and the power you cultivate will make you more confident, more excellent, and more beautiful.]

The evil dragon wants me to crash into the Turtle Turtle with all my strength. What good is it for her to fake it? The benefit is that she doesn't have to be in so much pain all over her body like she is now.

What are the benefits of not faking it? Lucia thought for a long time and couldn't find any benefits for the time being.

How should she put it? She could feel that the evil dragon didn't have any bad intentions towards her, the Amethyst Dragonling.

From the perspective of the Dragonling, the one being deceived by faking it was not the evil dragon, but herself, the Dragonling.

From a human perspective, she wasn't a real dragonling, so what if she faked it? Well, from a human perspective, the reason she didn't fake it wasn't because she didn't want to, but because she was afraid of being beaten by the evil dragon. The fear of the evil dragon was really imprinted in the bones of the human princess.

No more rest. The longer she rested, the more pain she would feel with the slightest movement.

She should greet Turtle Turtle.

Before she found a chance to escape from here, she was afraid that she would have to crash into Turtle Turtle's shell with all her might for a long time to come.

She should get to know Turtle Turtle first, and when she was familiar with Turtle Turtle, she would secretly discuss with Turtle Turtle and let Turtle Turtle cooperate with her to turn over... But forget it, if she crashed the Turtle Turtle over, the evil dragon would make her crash into a mountain.

Turtle Turtle's shell was already so hard, the mountain that the evil dragon found for her must be harder than Turtle Turtle's shell... Sure enough, Eva was right. Sometimes, faking it might keng herself.

Lucia grimaced and walked towards the location of the turtle's head.

Turtle Turtle's head was not retracted into its shell.

"Turtle Turtle... Hello, my name is Lucia. I hope the crash just now didn't hurt you."

In order to ensure that Turtle Turtle could see her, Lucia deliberately walked a little further away. In her dragonling form, she was not very small. Her dragon body was more than ten meters long, and when she squatted on the ground, she could see Turtle Turtle's head, eyes, and nose.

Turtle Turtle should be able to see her too.

It would be great if Turtle Turtle could talk.

The evil dragon's pet, Er Gouzi the Hellhound, couldn't speak human language. The evil dragon could understand its dog language, but she couldn't.

Turtle Turtle was so big, she guessed it couldn't talk either. If it could talk, Turtle Turtle should have taken the initiative to greet the evil dragon when the evil dragon brought her here before.

The smile in Lucia's vertical pupils disappeared, "I forgot you can't talk, and I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying."

"Turtle Turtle, if you can understand what I'm saying, can you nod?"

Turtle Turtle nodded. It could understand what the dragonling in front of it was saying.

"You can understand?!"

Turtle Turtle nodded again.

Lucia's vertical pupils revealed a look of surprise. It could understand her? If it could understand her, that meant they could communicate.

"Can we be friends?"

Turtle Turtle nodded.

The Amethyst Dragonling was willing to be friends with it, a turtle. It was overjoyed.

Unlike that Er Gouzi, who, upon seeing it, only wanted to crush it to death with its shell. It had a foul mouth and liked to show off in front of the evil dragon Lance.

Did it need to feed the turtle?

No, it didn't! Ever since it took on the task of feeding, the vegetables it ate were disgusting, having fallen from the dog's mouth.

What it hated most was that Er Gouzi liked to quibble, saying that Lance had given it a Rabies Vaccine, that there were no viruses in its mouth, and that the cabbage, radish, and corn in its mouth were very clean. It really wanted to accidentally flip over one day and crush that Er Gouzi to death. "Turtle Turtle, did I hurt you just now?"

Turtle Turtle nodded. Such a small dragonling couldn't hurt it. It just didn't want the evil dragon Lance to bump into it.

If the evil dragon Lance bumped into it, it would die right in front of the evil dragon Lance.

No, it couldn't die.

If it died, the evil dragon Lance would turn its shell into a house.

Turtle Turtle wiggled its body, looking around. Seeing that there was no shadow of the evil dragon Lance nearby, it beckoned to the dragonling, signaling the dragonling to get closer.

The dragonling Lucia understood. She walked to Turtle Turtle's head. "What's wrong, Turtle Turtle?"

"Shh... keep it down... I'll quietly tell you a secret. Actually, I can talk..."

"Ah, you can..."

"Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down. Don't let the evil dragon Lance hear."

Lucia covered her mouth with her dragon claw, looking around like a thief. Not seeing the evil dragon, she lowered her dragon claw and whispered, "Why can't the evil dragon Lance hear us talking?"

"The evil dragon Lance doesn't know I can talk."

"Ah? You didn't tell the evil dragon you can talk?"

Turtle Turtle shook its head.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

Turtle Turtle wiggled its body again, looking around. Seeing that there was still no shadow of the evil dragon Lance nearby, it carefully said, "I know too many of the evil dragon Lance's secrets. If the evil dragon Lance knew I could talk, he would kill me."

"It's not that scary, is it? You're his pet. He shouldn't do that... right?"

"He would. A long, long time ago, when he was chatting with me, a mosquito passed by, and then that mosquito died from his Dragon Breath. He said... after eavesdropping on him for so long, he could only kill the mosquito to silence it."

"..."

Lucia shivered. In the future, when the evil dragon was talking to himself, would she have to cover her ears?

"Dragonling, I'll quietly give you a piece of advice. Never, ever drink the evil dragon's medicine casually."

"Why?"

"Do you think I'm big?"

"Big."

"Actually, I was just an ordinary little turtle at first, until one day the evil dragon Lance dug me out of a mud pit and took me away, and then... my miserable and somewhat legendary turtle life began.

The evil dragon Lance initially picked me up because he wanted me to keep him company. He said that a thousand-year-old tortoise lives for ten thousand years, and that I, who could live for ten thousand years, might be able to take care of him in his old age and bury him when he died. Then my nightmare began. The evil dragon Lance didn't have many friends at that time, and he would tell me everything. Even when I was asleep, he would pry open my eyelids to make me listen to him. Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with me just being a listener, and wanted me to open my mouth and communicate with him. Then my nightmare began. The evil dragon Lance began to study and learn some strange herbal knowledge, preparing or decocting medicinal liquids... and feeding them to me at the first opportunity. Sometimes, after drinking the medicine prepared by the evil dragon Lance, I could run faster than a rabbit.

Sometimes, after drinking the medicine prepared by the evil dragon Lance, my turtle head would become even bigger than my turtle shell.

The scariest time was when I drank the evil dragon's medicine and two small wings grew out of my head, almost scaring me to death, and also..."

"???"

"And what else, Turtle Turtle?"

"Amethyst Dragonling, time for your medicine."

The evil dragon Lance walked over from a distance, holding a bowl of herbal medicine.
