So delicious! So deli~cious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her greedy expression, Hulim let go of the wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris immediately hugged it to her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this time...... Little Semiris, will forgive Hulim~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t eat too fast even if it’s good—you might choke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Hulim returned to the campfire and picked up her own piece of roasted meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t~! Cough...... Cough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmph! Mmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris patted her chest, struggling to swallow the meat stuck in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! I almost choked to death~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you to be careful......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeterred, Little Semiris took another big bite of the wing—she hadn’t learned a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuffing her face, she mumbled a question to Hulim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm, hey Hulim, what kind of meat is this? It tastes better than the grilled meat before! Mmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that...... It’s Snowball’s meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see~, so it’s......???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris froze, holding the wing like a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh...... What’s wrong again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris stared at Hulim with her mouth full of meat, then glanced down at the wing in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wahh——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you crying again? Is Snowball’s meat not good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wahh——!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris cried even louder......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim is the worst!!! Little Semiris will never forgive you again! Mmm~, so good, wahh......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim watched as Little Semiris cried while shoveling more meat into her mouth, falling silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaaa...... Hulim, mean! But...... Snowball, so delicious...... Waaaa...... Mmm~, mmm......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit NovelBin for the authentic version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten minutes later......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris lay spread-eagled on the ground with a stuffed, round belly, eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey~, Little Semiris, are you asleep?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim poked her with a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris lifted her right hand and swatted at Hulim’s finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mean, grilled meat, Snowball, delicious...... Little Semiris can eat more!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really falls asleep right after eating......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Little Semiris mutter happily in her sleep, Hulim silently pulled her hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s just like a kid......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>looking at Little Semiris now, Hulim felt like their roles had reversed—she was the one taking care of the “teacher” who’d guided her years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Hulim, are we really going to raid the dragon’s lair for treasure today~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning what Hulim planned to do, Little Semiris flew around excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already forgot what happened yesterday......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim sighed inwardly and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. The time is right. We still can’t beat it, but escaping from the lair should be no problem now. So it’s time to collect some interest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay! Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt! Raid the dragon’s lair for treasure~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim and Little Semiris arrived near the Giant Red Dragon’s lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, Hulim! When do we go in? Little Semiris can’t wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet. Let’s check the situation first......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim stopped the eager Little Semiris and continued observing from her hiding spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few months,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim had ventured to the surface many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d figured out most of the dragon’s daily routine—when it left the lair and when it returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the reconnaissance hadn’t been smooth. She’d been spotted by the dragon several times and chased back underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each incident only added to Hulim’s frustration with the dragon......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go. It’s gone now. We’ll sneak in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming the dragon hadn’t skipped its daily outing (a rare occurrence), Hulim gestured for Little Semiris to follow as they crept toward the lair......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached, Hulim felt a special magic field surrounding the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is why the Wind Messenger Birds disappeared before......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed this was the dragon’s unique defense mechanism. Ordinary creatures would flee at the sense of this magic, keeping the lair safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a trick obviously couldn’t stop a human and a fairy......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dragon’s lair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris rushed excitedly toward the depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon treasure! Little Semiris is here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it didn’t take long for a cry of surprise to ring out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh——, why is this happening!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found Little Semiris hovering in the air, looking disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her gaze, Hulim understood why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mountain of dragon treasure like they’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few scattered metal items lay around—worth almost nothing. No one would believe this was the lair of a giant dragon; it was far too shabby for a dragon’s lair......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim thought it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon had only built its lair here a few months ago. In such a short time, how much treasure could it have collected......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why had this dragon chosen to nest here in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not had a lair before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was impossible. This was a Rank A dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A creature that had lived for so many years to reach this rank couldn’t have been sleeping in trees all this time, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Semiris...... That thing only built its lair here a few months ago. It probably hasn’t had time to collect treasure yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is that true!? ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think that’s it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim glanced at the few scattered treasures in the lair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While there’s less than we expected, it’s not nothing. Let’s take these with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm...... Okay~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Semiris agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they gathered all the scattered treasure and stuffed it into a backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s leave quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing back at the now-empty lair, Hulim urged Little Semiris to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hurried toward the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as they stepped out of the dragon’s lair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a shadow fell from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive red dragon landed right in front of Hulim and Little Semiris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim slowly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the dragon’s face twisted with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it come back early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>",994,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","5cb479ec746c5e9c95f04fbbc31b9ecf37ce5469ecfa0a688f94601c3acb0359","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-246","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-244",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
