That’s another price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one believed Herbert’s nonsense—not even he thought it could fool Miss Hungry Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina narrowed her eyes, let out a hum, and released the shameless paladin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned against the railing, cautiously observing the white-haired boy who casually leaned beside her, scanning him up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not particularly clever, as a hatchling cast out by her parents in early youth, she had survived this long for good reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purely through sheer toughness—cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina relied entirely on her bloodline’s innate instinct: to avoid danger and seize advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Run if danger is lethal; charge if it isn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her motto: “If you can’t kill me, I’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this instinct wasn’t always reliable—it sometimes misjudged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, when she first encountered the Mist Grand Archbishop, she felt no lethal threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought he was just another old man, and after chasing him away several times, she grew angry and intended to blast him into a dead old man with her dragon breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then… she got beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before true power, Valentina had no chance to fight back—she became nothing but a punching bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s hard to say her instinct was wrong—after all, she didn’t die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Grand Archbishop had no intent to kill; her injuries were painful but not incurable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor Miss Hungry Dragon, after being thrashed, was thrown into an alien prison to serve as a doorstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the process, tell me: was her instinct accurate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ask you: did you live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sometimes, living is harder than dying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locked in an alien prison, you can’t even die if you want to, can’t even eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only things left to do were sleeping and honing your own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confined in this dark, sunless cell, Valentina appeared to give up—but in truth, she continuously strengthened herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason: to avoid future mistakes. Another: because there was nothing else to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day Valentina initiated conversation with Herbert was because she had a strange premonition—speaking to him might bring a new turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now… Miss Hungry Dragon smelled deception on Herbert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something’s off. There’s definitely a trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is hiding something from me again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what’s the truth? What do you really want to tell me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina stared hard at Herbert, meeting his gaze with unyielding glare even when he turned to look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must spit out the truth today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her persistence, Herbert knew he couldn’t hide it anymore. He sighed helplessly and shook his head: “Tsk… That’s why I hate intuitive brats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since you insist, I’ll tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He solemnly reiterated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me be clear: you forced me to say this—don’t blame me later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was going to wait for a better moment to bring it up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his expression, Valentina suddenly felt a terrible premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! Wait a minute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No waiting~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert turned, seized her hand as she tried to pull it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valentina, since the day we met, there’s been something I’ve wanted to tell you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome boy gazed at her with his pale gray eyes, a flicker of embarrassment passing through them—then resolved into firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know if this request will offend, but I can’t bear to endure this alone any longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What… are you going to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Valentina could still yank her hand away—but doing so would hurt Herbert, and that gave her a moment’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a master’s duel, that instant of hesitation is the moment of defeat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert drew a deep breath, clasped her slender hand tightly, preventing escape, and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though ill-timed, I sincerely hope you’ll accept this bold request.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, time slowed in Valentina’s eyes. She clearly heard the pounding in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump! Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina, who had lived a solitary life, never close to men, had never faced such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared into those captivating eyes, felt the warmth of his grip, and sensed the scent that had always tempted her—her entire dragon mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uhh, uhhh, you, uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could she not answer—her mind was empty. Her centuries-honed instinct was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing came to mind. Only a chaotic, mushy fog filled her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he want to say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he asking me out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I say yes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re not even that familiar, are we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re not, right!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, I, I… No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the situation was unusual, though Valentina wasn’t smart, though the guy was undeniably handsome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t naive enough to surrender her body over a few sweet words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t that foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their emotional foundation was far too thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as Valentina resolved to reject Herbert, she heard the rest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… could you let me… touch your tail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it—she had to refuse him now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, you’re handsome, and you smell nice, but we can’t yet—huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh!!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",955,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","98a491a8341177109b7248d05966c66d8e2ef9847483e6dcad9797f7952ce47d","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-40","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-38",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
