Miss Black Dragon Does Not Want to Be a Mount

Miss Black Dragon Does Not Want to Be a Mount, Author: Ye Xingmeng

The boy, born sickly, ultimately did not live to reach adulthood. Before he died, he desperately made a wish: if there were an afterlife, he must possess a body with powerful physical capabilities.

When he regained consciousness, he had already become a black dragon egg.

His wish was indeed granted, but this egg was female, hmm...

Whatever!

Miss Black Dragon believed herself to be invincible, yet fate caused her to encounter her nemesis, a brave young girl who dreamed of becoming a great knight.

Oh no, now the girl wants to become a great Dragon Knight.

============

001 A New Life Starting from an Egg

The curve on the heart rate monitor jumped irregularly. The boy kept his eyes closed, his family and friends gathered around the hospital bed.

Everyone knew what was about to happen, and a sense of sorrow spread among them.

The boy was still conscious. He wanted to urge everyone to be optimistic, but he could no longer speak. He also knew clearly that he had reached his final moments.

The boy had never resented his parents. When he was young, he resented the unfairness of fate—why was he born with such a poor constitution, to the point where even a light touch would cause injury?

But as he grew older, the boy slowly let go and began to enjoy the rest of his life optimistically. The doctor had said he wouldn't live to adulthood, and today it seemed that was indeed correct; his life would be frozen at seventeen, today.

What a pity... tomorrow is his eighteenth birthday. Why couldn't he have died one day later?

From the moment he was born, his organs were destined to fail early, and today, they would stop functioning along with his short life.

His eyes could no longer open. Before leaving this world, he could not see his family and friends one last time, but perhaps it was better not to see, for the boy knew his family and friends were surely shedding tears at this moment. Although he could not see, he could hear the sound of sobbing.

Everyone, goodbye. Thank you for your company over these years. I hope you will not be sad and can be as optimistic as I am...

The boy thought this in his heart. Slowly, he felt the surroundings become quiet. The crying disappeared, the pain gradually faded away, and his body began to feel light.

So this is the feeling of death. It is a pity that this feeling cannot be told to anyone.

If there is an afterlife, it would be great to have a body with super-strong physical capabilities. That way, he could do many things he envied in his daily life.

Accompanied by this final wish, the boy's consciousness sank into deep darkness...

"Hmm...?"

The boy regained consciousness. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't. He wanted to control his body, but he felt nothing.

It was as if, apart from his consciousness, his body no longer existed.

What exactly is going on? Is this the world after death? Is there anyone who can respond to him?

After a while, the boy suddenly felt a bit tired.

Am I sleepy? So, one can feel sleepy in the world after death?

His consciousness gradually became blurred again.

The heavy rain had fallen for a long time, and the previous mugginess was swept away. The air became moist. Farmers sighed that they would not need to water the fields for the time being. This level of precipitation was just right, saving them the trouble of irrigation, and the few days of free time could be used to do other things.

Aidefalong was an eastern province of the Empire. It was the Empire's most important agricultural production area. The fertile land attracted a large number of imperial citizens to settle here, making it one of the most prosperous provinces in the entire Empire.

Aidefalong belonged to the fief of Duke Wilfen Adefalon. According to imperial regulations, a lineage that received a fief had to change its surname to the corresponding name of the province; therefore, Wilfen's lineage inherited the surname Adefalon.

The Duke had followed the Emperor in battles across the south and north in his early years and had achieved great military exploits, which was why he was enfeoffed with the fertile Aidefalong. Apart from war, it had to be said that he was also quite capable in governing his fief. His arrival was like adding flowers to brocade, making the economic strength of this eastern province almost catch up to the central province directly under His Majesty the Emperor.

The Duke had two sons and one daughter. His sons were already adults and now held important positions in the imperial army. The daughter was born to his new wife after his original wife passed away, so the daughter and her two older brothers were half-siblings.

Which imperial noble did not have many women by his side? Only Duke Wilfen was different; he always kept only one wife. After his original wife passed away, he did not even intend to remarry, but he could not withstand the persuasion of those around him, so he married a new wife.

However, the new wife gave birth to a cute daughter for him, which made Wilfen very happy, only the daughter's personality was truly a bit of a headache for him.

After the heavy rain, the residents of Edafalon City began their activities. It was just past noon, and the merchants began their business for the day. Unlike the adults, the commoner children were running through the streets and alleys to play as usual.

Under a large tree, a group of children were gathered together discussing something. If one were to say their "leader" was a little blonde girl wearing ordinary commoner clothes, I am afraid no one would believe it.

But do not underestimate this little girl. Although the children did not know where her home was, at only eight years old, she could easily beat those thirteen or fourteen-year-old "experts." In this way, she became the "big sister" of this area.

The little girl's personality was outgoing and lively, even a bit tomboyish. If it weren't for her very cute appearance, one would really think she was a boy.

Likaro was the little girl's name, and she was currently sharing her adventure plan with the children with great enthusiasm: to go to the forest outside the city to explore and search for possible treasures.

For the smooth progress of the exploration, Likaro even carried a large adventure backpack, which was almost touching the ground when worn on her back.

However, unfortunately, not a single playmate echoed her, because their respective parents strictly forbade them from leaving the city.

In the end, Likaro puffed out her cheeks and stomped her feet. She would not play with this group of brats anymore; she was prepared to go out alone.

It is just a forest, what is there to be afraid of? The public security around Edafalon was good, and even in the forest, there were no dangerous medium or large Demonic Beasts.

Carrying her backpack, Likaro walked to the city gate alone. Relying on her petite body, she hid among the coming and going crowd and slipped out of the city.

If a little girl left the city alone, the guards would definitely go to question her. As for how to sneak past the guards, Likaro was already very professional.

Likaro had liked adventures since she was a child, or to be precise, doing things full of challenges. Her personality was lively and active, so it was absolutely impossible for her to stay at home obediently. For this reason, she had caused her father quite a bit of trouble, but her father was very open-minded and rarely blamed her.

Likaro had once seen knights clad in fine, handsome armor, riding atop tall, magnificent steeds. This filled her with envy, and she dreamed that one day, she too could become a knight.

It was rare for a girl to want to become a knight, but not unheard of; there were even many famous female knights in history, and they were Likaro's idols.

Compared to magic, swordsmanship was what truly captured Likaro's interest.

This was not Likaro's first time in the forest outside the city, so she knew exactly which spots were unique, such as the strangely shaped rocks, the trees bearing delicious fruit, and the sweet, clear springs hidden in the woods.

However, the forest was vast, and Likaro kept to a fixed area; she knew that if she wandered too far, she would get lost.

Today's adventure was destined to be a success, for Likaro had made a major discovery. Just as she arrived at the ancient tree where she usually rested, she noticed something strange lurking in the bushes nearby.

"What is this...?"

Likaro walked over, curious, and pushed aside the brush to find an egg belonging to some unknown creature.

The egg was several times larger than Likaro's own body.

Since she was out on an adventure, Likaro had naturally come prepared. Her backpack contained not only food and water but also items that might prove useful.

She took a book from her bag, flipped it open, and held it toward the giant egg.

This was the Appraisal Book, which used magic to record vast amounts of knowledge. Whenever she encountered something unfamiliar, she simply had to use this book to appraise it, and the information about the object would appear on the blank pages.

However, as the magical glow faded, the Appraisal Book remained empty. Likaro flipped through every single page, but she could not find a single word.

This egg couldn't even be appraised!

Likaro immediately concluded that she had found a treasure. It was likely the egg of some Magic Beast; after all, the egg of an ordinary creature could not possibly be this large.

Although she was only eight years old, Likaro was not stupid. She began to consider potential dangers, such as whether the egg's "mother" might be nearby, or if the Magic Beast that hatched from this egg would be dangerous.

Because the egg was simply too large, she decided she had to go home to inform her father and have him send more people.

Just as Likaro was curiously observing the egg of this unknown creature, it actually began to move right in front of her.

Gurgle, gurgle.

It was as if something were pushing it from within; the egg began to roll across the uneven ground, gradually moving further away.

"Hey! Don't you run away!"

Likaro watched in a daze. It was her first time seeing an egg that could move on its own, but she had no time to ponder it now. If she didn't give chase, the egg would disappear from her sight entirely.

Today's experience was a major discovery!

And so, a truly magical scene unfolded in the forest—a giant egg rolling forward, with a young girl chasing closely behind.

"Huff, huff! When it comes to long-distance running, I'm quite the expert!"

Likaro noticed that the egg's speed was far inferior to her own, and she would soon catch up, but the problem was how to make the egg stop.

Bang!

The chase finally came to an end when the egg collided with the trunk of a tree.

"..."

The egg showed no further reaction. Likaro walked up to it, curious, and poked it with her finger.

Still, there was no movement.

The youth did not know how long he had been asleep. When he finally woke, a single name kept repeating in his chaotic mind—Ailolin.

"My name is... Ailolin?"

The name felt incredibly intimate, as if it were truly the name she had been born with.

"Ailolin Furnoscott."

Ailolin repeated the name in her mind once more, adding the surname this time.

But hadn't she died? What was the situation now?

A flood of chaotic information surged through Ailolin's mind, and she quickly realized where this information originated.

It was the inheritance of the Dragonkind.

At this moment, Ailolin's awareness of her own body was like a blank sheet of paper, and the inheritance was like ink, writing a wealth of information upon it.

The inheritance was not extensive; it included only basic knowledge such as Ailolin's name and linguistic abilities, along with the racial traits of the Dragonkind. Yet, one thing was clear to Ailolin: this was not Earth, nor was it the world she had once known.

So, transmigration was real. Ailolin had verified this for herself.

But the question remained: who had caused her to transmigrate? That was beyond Ailolin's comprehension; surely, only a god could accomplish such a feat.

For now, Ailolin knew she shouldn't be thinking about these things, for she could feel that it was time to break out of her shell.

Just then, she suddenly heard movement outside the egg—the sound of soles treading upon the earth, growing closer and closer.

Danger!

Ailolin could see nothing at all, yet her biological instincts compelled her to avoid potential danger. The footsteps clearly belonged to a humanoid creature, allowing her to rule out her parents or any other members of Dragonkind.

Although she could not perceive the outside world, she could not simply sit and wait for death. Ailolin was fragile within the egg, so she had to protect herself at all costs.

When she discovered she could make the "Ailolin egg" roll, she immediately began to exert force to escape.

The problem was, where should she run? Forget it, she would just start moving first!

The sound of running footsteps convinced Ailolin that someone was truly chasing her, so she controlled the "Ailolin egg" to roll even faster.

"Hey, don't run!" Likaro shouted as she gave chase.

The youthful cry surprised Ailolin; it sounded like a very young girl.

Ailolin tried to devise a strategy while controlling the egg's movement, but she forgot that she could not see the path ahead, and she slammed directly into a tree trunk, coming to an immediate halt.

I'm so dizzy!

"Ugh, are you okay? Did you crack?"

Likaro caught up and examined the egg. In her experience, biological eggs were extremely fragile and would shatter from the slightest bump, let alone a high-speed collision with a hard tree trunk.

Fortunately, Likaro found no signs of cracks on the shell, which put her mind at ease; after all, a life was gestating inside.

Then again, an egg that could move on its own... how rare. She absolutely had to record what she had seen today.

However, just as Likaro began to relax, she heard a sharp "crack."

It's over!

Likaro's heart skipped a beat, and upon closer inspection, she saw that, sure enough, several fissures had appeared on the surface of the shell.
