Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

"Hmm..."

Inanna suddenly let out a strange hum and released her tight embrace on Li Ang.

Nearby, Diao’s expression changed drastically. Even when witnessing the scenes of the Divine Era, she had never been so shocked.

"Get inside, you." Li Ang, unfazed, withdrew his uncontrollable hand from the soft weight, tore open the Dimensional Rift, and tossed Arunak’s Staff into it.

Looking again at the elegant Inanna standing before him, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty.

Connecting with the Magic Staff, he was in a similar state to when he previously had the Demon’s Hand.

He checked the panel, not only could he use the Spiritual Grasp, Puncture, and Chaos Destruction he had previously strengthened on the panel while holding Arunak’s Staff, but even his desires began to resurface, and his actions became unified with his mind and body.

Such an action... shouldn’t it trigger her switch and change her state?

Inanna opened her golden Dragon’s Eye, with wide beast ears lightly tapping on the edges of her head, she looked down at herself in astonishment.

Thankfully, she showed no change.

It seems some of Li Ang’s thoughts were correct.

Facing the Demon Inanna in that Illusion Realm, Li Ang had suspected that she was definitely unusual. There was already an Inanna by his side, and it would have been normal for there to be an extra one in the Ancient Era.

Even though the entire Earth was cursed, causing the Earth Dragon great pain, she was still far from that thorny state. Thus, Li Ang worried that the Demon Inanna was a certain implication intentionally conveyed by the Ten Thousand Spirits.

So, when she attempted to inflict more harm on their side’s Inanna, Li Ang made the decision to use Arunak’s Staff.

And the things Demon Inanna said at the end basically proved Li Ang’s concerns were not unfounded.

Luckily, the true Inanna in front of him wasn’t affected. If anything, she stood before him in this more "youthful" human form, appearing more energetic and exerting less pressure than in her Fertile Stage. This matched Agni’s description of her "gentleness."

Inanna looked puzzled and cupped her majestic front.

"Li Ang, what did you do? Just now, it felt strange."

"Hmm?"

Li Ang was startled, but seeing the innocent expression of the young Earth Dragon, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"Didn’t you know what that contact meant just now?"

"What was it?"

"Then how do you know how to reproduce?"

"I do know that. Although as the World Pillar, we don’t need to reproduce like ordinary Dragon Race, it’s not like we haven’t seen those who like to expand their influence through their descendants, although they get quite irritable whenever we see them reproduce."

Inanna frowned slightly, seemingly troubled that Li Ang thought she lacked knowledge.

"Wouldn’t you be irritable?" Li Ang said without thinking.

"Eh? Do you know why?"

"How often do Dragon Race generally reproduce?"

"Much longer than beasts. After all, Dragon Race is relatively powerful, and the gestation period is longer. The stronger they are, the longer it takes. Take Freyia, for instance; she may choose a mate once every hundred years, and some of them are even her descendants. Then, the methods in the Material Dimension and Magic Power Dimension are different..."

"Alright, I see."

Li Ang covered his forehead.

Thinking about it this way, Nebis’s total dragon descendants aren’t many, mostly concentrated in Low Tier. It shows that a True Dragon, as a Magic Power Dimension lifeform, isn’t driven by desire to reproduce. The more they mix with other races, the more active they become.

This also explains why the Bailong Sect’s Dragon man Transformation is so troublesome. If the Dragon Race had such desires, they might have taken a more direct approach, perhaps with more success.

"So, what was that feeling just now?"

The Inanna in front of him was intrigued by Li Ang.

"This is, well, complicated. I can only tell you that human childbirth is different from Dragon Race."

"I know that. The Power of Life in an area gets more intense at the birth of a new life. As one of the Six Dragons, I’ve witnessed countless times of the reproduction of the beasts and human races, but we Six Dragons, being more like Elemental Creatures, don’t need to consider their approach."

The more Inanna spoke, the more it confirmed to Li Ang that she truly didn’t understand.

"Haven’t you noticed that the human race’s reproductive process is somewhat unique?" Li Ang gestured with his fingers.

"Indeed, it takes much longer and oftentimes, they can’t successfully conceive offspring, even though it should be much simpler than for Dragon Race."

"Yes, because they actually don’t do it just to have children..."

"Then why?"

"For certain special meanings... like love between each other?"

"That’s indeed something many mortals frequently talk about. I know it carries extraordinary significance for them."

In the angle of this conversation, Inanna was a blank slate. Li Ang felt that explaining this to a Dragon God that counts its existence in units of millennia shouldn’t leave her impacted, yet he still felt a pang of guilt.

No, why should I feel guilty? I’m upright and honest. Li Ang clapped his forehead.

He attempted to summarize: "You Six Dragons can be said to know all the actions of mortals, but don’t understand some of their thoughts and purposes, can I put it that way?"

"Yes, that’s why we take on mortal forms, to understand mortals. Because in the current Nebis, we need the power of mortals."

Inanna’s words made Li Ang feel a bit off: "But earlier in the Illusion Realm, like Akuya, she transformed into human form quite early."
