The Strongest Dragon Won't Put Up With This [Western Fantasy]

"Read the reviews before deciding whether to buy."

Long Ye was reborn as a western black dragon, the kind with a level of 9999 who could go wherever she pleased. Unfortunately, she'd contracted with a human.

If that human had been the lucky one who contracted the world's strongest dragon, she might have laughed herself awake from sheer joy.

After all, with the strongest being to protect her, she could coast through life without lifting a finger.

Unfortunately, she was the strongest dragon. She could have lived a carefree life, but now she had to spend her days looking after a burden.

The burden was three months old. She had to feed him carefully, change his diapers, bathe him, dress him...

When she'd finally raised him to five, she wanted to let him go out and see the world (though she absolutely refused to admit she wanted to abandon him).

Unfortunately, the child had barely been outside the cave for five minutes before he came running back, crying and making a fuss. He'd fallen and his knee hurt.

Fine. She'd wait until he was old enough not to fall over before letting him go out again.

At ten, he left the cave. Before long, he came back, saying a huge lizard outside had chased him and he couldn't beat it.

Fine. She'd wait until he could beat a level 1000 huge lizard before letting him go out again.

At fifteen, he left the cave. Not long after, he came back, saying he couldn't bear to leave his dragon mother and wanted to stay with her for a few more years.

Long Ye fell silent for a long time. "Don't think I can't see through that lazy, useless, just-wants-to-lie-around nature of yours."

The handsome boy with golden hair and eyes scratched his head innocently. "Do I have one? Haha."

When he turned eighteen, he finally decided to explore the outside world.

"I'll be back as soon as I can! I'll collect shiny stones for you, Dragon Mother!"

At that, Long Ye reluctantly opened her eyes. "Bring back some handsome men, too. A few of every kind."

Two years later, the child who had left home returned.

He'd brought back a huge pile of gems in every color and size, but not a single man.

Long Ye looked around to make sure she hadn't missed anything. "Where are the men?"

Long Yi's legs went limp, and he fell sideways to the ground, striking a sultry pose. "What about me?"

Long Ye was speechless. She swatted him away with one claw. "Get lost."

Long Yi limped back. "Dragon Mother, actually, I've already picked someone out for you."

Long Ye: "Oh?"

Long Yi: "The men in the outside world are all ordinary mortals. They're not worthy of my Dragon Mother."

Long Ye: "Oh?"

Long Yi: "They say the Creator of this world is male and breathtakingly beautiful. I think he'd be perfect."

Long Ye shifted her head to rest on her other claw, her tone changing. "Ooh?"

Long Yi: "But the Demon King stole the Creator's power, and now he's imprisoned in the Demon King's castle, so..."

Long Ye shot Long Yi a sidelong glance. The little brat thought he could play games with her now?

All that buildup was just to get her to defeat the Demon King and rescue the Creator, wasn't it?

Hmph. She wasn't going.

Fighting and killing was no fun.

Long Yi saw what Long Ye was thinking and immediately took out a little device. He made a magic display appear, showing a breathtakingly handsome man whose mere profile was enough to make anyone's eyes linger.

Long Ye rolled her neck, her fighting spirit blazing. "Let's go! Bring the best sword and ride the fastest horse! No stopping until we rescue the prince!"

The group went on adventures together. Everyone in the party knew that their companion Long Yi had a stunningly beautiful, short-tempered mother. When his mother told him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west. When his mother told him to shut up, he wouldn't dare breathe.

She was low-level, picky about everything, and needed people to look after her all the time. She hardly seemed like the kind of person who could raise such a gentle, polite, and perfectly capable child as Long Yi.

The party members felt bad for Long Yi. No matter how beautiful Long Ye was, they all gave her dirty looks. Unfortunately, Long Ye's eyes were practically on top of her head, and she couldn't see them at all.

Her arrogance only made the party members dislike her more.

One day, the party faced a life-or-death crisis. As everyone said their goodbyes to their companions, convinced they wouldn't make it out alive, that lazy, unmotivated woman suddenly transformed into a majestic black dragon and resolved the crisis in two swift moves. Only then did they understand why Long Yi obeyed her so completely.

Because there was no way he could beat her. No way at all.

"Long Yi, is your dragon mother a dragon? Are you one too?"

"No, I was adopted."

"Oh! Then would you like another dragon father?"

"That's not up to me, but you probably don't stand a chance. Dragon Mother likes good-looking men."

"I'm officially recognized as the third most handsome man in the empire!"

"Are you as handsome as a god?"

"..." He didn't like that question.
