Let me smell you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Obey me! Let me take a look!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk! Are you coming over or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, Jiege, don’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Jiege? What Jiege? What have you been muttering about since just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina gave Herbert a strange look, puzzled by this guy hugging his chest as if he’d rather die than let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just want to smell you closely and confirm what this scent is—why are you so tense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not going to eat you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Fine, don’t let me smell it—big deal.” Valentina sniffed, turned away sullenly, and faced the bars with her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon after she turned to sulk, she heard footsteps approaching—and the fragrance growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina crossed her arms, suppressing the urge to turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t turn back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, if I turn back now, I’ll feel like I’ve lost to him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Herbert had already walked to the edge of the Dragon Lady’s prison cell, standing barely an arm and a half away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted at Valentina, whose body language screamed restraint, and his mind raced with thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first heard the Dragon Lady’s confused remark, Herbert’s initial thought was that she was sexually frustrated and planning to take advantage of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized something must have changed about himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could change overnight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All clues pointed to one direction—that… the demonic rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blessing from the Evil God?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Herbert also realized another thing—he had completely ignored the dragon aura emanating from Valentina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike yesterday, when he’d struggled to endure it, he now felt absolutely nothing; he’d even forgotten it existed unless he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Valentina deliberately suppressed her dragon aura?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She probably wasn’t that kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil God, what kind of forced blessing did you just dump on me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or… is this even a blessing at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be some kind of perverted curse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling that unreliable divine entity, Herbert’s scalp prickled—he nearly remembered last night’s nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh… cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forcibly shoved the rising image from his mind, distracted himself, and spoke to Valentina:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough… Prisoner Miss, come on, let me test you—can you notice any changes in me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. You just smell nicer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina kept her back turned, neck stiff, fighting hard against the instinct to look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smell? You mean from a culinary perspective?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina froze, whipped her head around, and glared at him fiercely: “Do you think I’d find your body appealing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would eat you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look like a starving ghost who hasn’t eaten in centuries… oh wait, you actually haven’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Are you deliberately provoking me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I? Oops, sorry—I just accidentally forgot you haven’t eaten in… huuuundreds of years~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re still talking?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina was about to explode, but saw Herbert’s smirking lips and realized he was deliberately provoking her—she clenched her teeth and turned back around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t fall for your trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Demonflame?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Valentina?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, no matter how much Herbert teased her, Valentina, determined to hold firm, gave no reply but cold sniffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of snort monster are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just turn around and look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you turn around, I don’t believe your eyes will be empty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it might sound impolite, Herbert couldn’t help but recall his Qianshi  neighbor’s Shiba Inu as he stared at her stubborn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time it came home from playing, it would present its owner with this stubborn, rigid rear end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One leaned back hard, pulling its body taut; the other dug its head into the ground—two creatures locked in a static tug-of-war, held in place by a leash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wrestled like this for a while longer, until the stubborn dog girl won through sheer willpower—Herbert reluctantly gave up and walked deeper into the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, then stay here and reflect on your sins. I’ll go check on the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. Since you won’t cooperate, I’ll find someone who will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separation’s fine—the next one will be better behaved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Herbert was about to step beyond the seal of Valentina’s cell, a voice behind him called out—emotion impossible to discern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? You’ve finally changed your mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert turned and saw Valentina, now facing him, staring at him with a haunting gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him turn, she snorted, made a fierce expression, and threatened sharply: “If you’re scared, just get the hell out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving Herbert time to react, she vanished back into the shadows of the cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert remained frozen in place for a long while, then shook his head thoughtfully and smiled: “Heh. I will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cage remained silent—no indication whether Valentina had heard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… was she worrying about me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll observe further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it’s one of the three great delusions…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, given Valentina’s warning, Herbert raised his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there someone among them who harbors deep malice toward me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Herbert continued deeper into the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the first zone where Valentina was held, the air here was noticeably better—though humidity likely exceeded seventy percent, clearly damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? You’re back? I thought you’d already run away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaid prisoner, floating in a giant water sphere, opened her eyes, surprised to see the visitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In terms of courage, you’re stronger than the last warden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What happened to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaid smirked, flicking her tail: “He was a coward who came for a vacation—scared half to death by the angels inside, cried, and fled. Never showed up again the next day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert raised an eyebrow—he hadn’t expected to hear secrets from a former warden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermaid smiled at his expression, rising halfway out of the water: “By the way… do you think I’m beautiful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert sized her up and nodded without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you’re very beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dc1527eb0ea2efbf1792bb7917ded75c33a1cca64fcae7ffdea59be55d417227","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-8","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-6",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
