Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon’s Might
Chapter 122: Temptation

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Temptation

The Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method is primarily divided into three stages.

The first stage is the Hundred Days Foundation Building, where "hundred days" from beginning to end aren’t important; what’s crucial are the last two characters—Foundation Building.

It took Leon almost half a year, and he was honored to have successfully completed the Foundation Establishment.

Waking up from his sleep, Leon’s entire focus was on the second phase of the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method, which is to prevent leakage and solidify essence.

Leon didn’t know the real definition of preventing leakage and solidifying essence, but the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method he mastered had a different explanation, emphasizing the latter character, which means solidifying essence, or in other words, endurance. Endurance instead of indulgence, focused on cultivation, not succumbing to desires.

Indeed, the method he mastered was indeed a dual cultivation method, but primarily it was a method of collective cultivation that complemented the strengths and weaknesses between men and women, not rolling around in bed, turning over and over, indulging in it all day. The latter is entirely a deviant practice, though for a Red Dragon, deviant practices are really nothing.

Building foundation is laying the groundwork, necessarily consuming a substantial amount of time.

The key to preventing leakage and solidifying essence lies in endurance, and endurance depends on one’s temperament; some naturally have good endurance, others no matter how hard they try, can’t manage it. It’s like many people incessantly talk about losing weight, but can’t control their mouths, and can never reduce their body weight, and even if they do, it quickly rebounds, not realizing that the key to losing weight is changing lifestyle habits.

As long as one learns endurance, then one has mastered the stage of preventing leakage and solidifying essence, and can move on to the last phase of Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method.

It must be mentioned that Golden Finger only teaches Spells, only teaches you how to breathe in nature’s spiritual energy, how to absorb the Sun and Moon Essence, not caring whether you can persist or not. If you’re lazy, then not having any gains in the end is your own fault, learning to be diligent is your own responsibility.

As the saying goes, there are many ways to achieve the same goal, Leon must learn endurance by himself, poor him, he has no clue how to begin learning endurance. He only knows that the nature of Red Dragons is indulgence, chaotic and evil Red Dragons are never restricted by anything, doing whatever they desire.

Leon pondered over and over, feeling that endurance is simply unlearnable, just like being diligent and hard-working is unlearnable... perhaps it’s not entirely impossible.

Efreeti is definitely out of the question, Leon hesitated for a long time between Tassera and Cecilia, ultimately deciding to choose Cecilia.

His reason for choosing Cecilia is simple; on one hand, Cecilia is his maid, he can handle her however he wants, on the other hand, Cecilia’s charm isn’t as great as Tassera’s, making the challenge less difficult, corresponding to the concept that one should start with smaller monsters rather than directly challenging the boss.

Clearly a Green Dragon, but Cecilia isn’t that afraid of heat, though she also doesn’t really like the heat, what’s most important is that Efreeti has a room in Dome Castle, so after considering, she resolutely refused to stay in the Dome Castle and chose to find an Oasis nearby to nest, and if need be, she can go to the Dome Castle every day to report.

Leon found Cecilia in an Oasis of medium size near Molten Lava Lake, at that time the Green Dragon was hiding in a tree watching two groups of goblins fighting.

Just some goblins, no matter what, such as once they spotted him they fled embarrassingly, Leon didn’t care at all, he looked at the Green Dragon and said, "What are you doing not properly nesting?"

"Watching the goblins fight," Cecilia replied as if it was the most natural thing.

"Were you the one who instigated the fight?" Leon asked curiously.

"I’m not that bored to instigate goblins to fight... They were already fighting when I came here, I’m just watching the excitement," Cecilia finished and looked towards Leon, "Why did the master come? To help me build the nest?"

"It’s only the master who helps the maid with work, not the other way around," Leon said, "Otherwise, how about spitting a fire breath to clean up the Oasis?"

"Let’s not do that," Cecilia looked around; the trees in the Oasis were quite tall and suited her aesthetic, just too few in number, she must figure out a way to plant more trees, or maybe even kidnap a few Druids to come wouldn’t be bad either.

"I have something I need your help with," Leon got straight to the point, "I want you to try your best to seduce me."

"Why?" Cecilia asked.

"I told you to do something, why ask so many questions," Leon didn’t bother explaining.

"Alright, I won’t ask anymore." The difference between her Dragon Form and human form personality was so big, Cecilia couldn’t help but mutter in her heart.

Cecilia pondered for a moment on where to start; thinking about it, she approached Leon and whispered softly, "Brother, I really like you."

Leon felt no ripples in his heart and said, "Continue."

Cecilia thought for a moment, licked Leon’s scales, then snuggled against him with her head and body gently, her movements filled with intimacy and dependence; then she raised her long neck, placed her head on top of his, and softly swayed her tail, entwining around his tail.

"Is this all you’ve got?" Leon couldn’t help but complain feeling no inner turbulence.

"I’m still a young dragon, a pure virgin, I also don’t have experience," this was Cecilia’s explanation, and also something she had always wanted to tell the Red Dragon, finally she found the opportunity today, "In Dragon Form this is all I can do, maybe I’d do better in human form."

"Alright, you change into a human then," Leon said as he walked around a big tree and transformed from a Red Dragon into a human form, "I do want to see what tricks you can play in your human form."

Cecilia jumped into the lake beside her; a Green Dragon dived in, and a short-haired girl emerged from the water. With fingers gripping her short hair, she combed it into a side part. The wet white shirt paired with riding breeches clung to her body as she emerged, showcasing her delicate collarbones shining brightly, and her nipples faintly visible.

"It’s so cold..." The short-haired girl walked ashore, suddenly shivering and hugging her arms around her shoulders, slightly pulling open her collar to reveal her smooth shoulders, like freshly peeled eggs.

Cecilia looked up at Leon, only to see him just narrowing his eyes briefly, making her somewhat doubt her charm and techniques.

Even so, Cecilia didn’t give up, she stumbled and sat on the ground, sitting sideways, one leg slightly bent and the other more so, displaying her long legs. One hand cupped her cheek, and the other covered her knee, showcasing her mastery of appearing pitiful, weak, and helpless but with a coquettish gaze.

Still not working?

Does she have to strip naked?

Not yet, surely.

Cecilia quickly recovered, extending her hand towards Leon and said, "Brother, I can’t stand up on my own, could you give me a hand?"

Leon approached Cecilia, looking down at the wet short-haired girl from a higher position. He grabbed her fair hand that was extended towards him and gently pulled... He anticipated that Cecilia would take the opportunity to throw herself into his arms, which she did, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

A minute later.

Leon sighed lightly, gently pushing Cecilia away and said, "You really are a bit weak."

He had initially wanted to find a Green Dragon to practice his patience, but she hadn’t stirred his heart at all, not even a bit of impulse from start to finish.

Cecilia was also somewhat annoyed, insisting, "You suddenly came over asking me to seduce you, I wasn’t prepared."

"Then go prepare," Leon said, "I can wait for you."

"It’s not about whether you can wait or not."

Cecilia eyed Leon and said, "The real issue here is, you’re just a teenage dragon who’s just entered your youth. Your body isn’t ready yet. It seems unless I use a spell, even a skilled Succubus seducing a normal child wouldn’t succeed... Giving candy would definitely be more effective than flaunting."

Listening to Cecilia’s words, Leon crossed his arms and pondered.

Maybe he doesn’t really need to learn patience at all; being a young dragon, he could be in some wise sage’s phase where he can skip... Even though he had felt impulses in front of Tassera before, he resisted, what normal man could?

With this thought, Leon’s spirits lifted, eager to try.

"I’m leaving, keep building your nest," Leon said as he reverted to his Dragon Form.

"Why are you leaving again?" Cecilia asked in confusion, "Don’t you need me to seduce you anymore?"

"No need for that," Leon said as he flapped his wings and flew upwards.

"How odd." Cecilia watched the Red Dragon disappear into the Oasis, still unaware of what she had missed.

Leon went to Oasis City nearby but didn’t find Tassera, so he turned towards the ancient ruins swallowed by sand dunes.

"My lord, you’ve arrived..." Tlincalli, the subjects of the Blue Dragon, recognized Leon immediately and didn’t obstruct him—in any case, stopping a Red Dragon was futile.

"Your master is at home, right?" Leon said as he entered the castle hall leading to the underground lair... No matter how you looked at it, the Blue Dragon’s lair was indeed beautiful.

Tassera, who preferred her human form, was currently in human form leaning in a chair reading a book. Seeing Leon barge in, she flicked her long hair behind her ear and asked, "What brings you here today?"

"Take a guess," Leon’s gaze swept over Tassera’s chest, thinking of Cecilia, he couldn’t help but feel that effort in front of talent was worthless.

Tassera noticed Leon’s gaze and put her hand on her chest, saying, "Seeing you like that, I’m sure it’s nothing good."

"Good stuff, good stuff," Leon said, "I’ve learned a new technique, interested?"

"Let’s hear it." Tassera was naturally interested, even after so long, never mastering it, but she was still learning to absorb the Sun and Moon Essence like Leon, unwilling to give up.

Leon shared about the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method, with Tassera watching him with a puzzled look.
