She was perplexed.

"Hmm? Do you have any questions?"

Fremay stared at Herbert, hesitated for a moment and softly asked, "Are you... Him?"

!!!

After hearing this, Herbert was stunned and didn't react immediately.

Is it Him?

Who?

It's... Oh!

He understood what Fremay meant.

She was doubting Herbert's identity, suspecting him to be the Ancient God that had awakened.

The special abilities Herbert displayed were far beyond what a normal human could explain through innate talent.

She had her suspicions.

Fremay didn't mind Herbert's identity; no matter who he was, it wouldn't change the fact that he was the hero she selected.

But she wanted an answer, even a hint would be fine.

Herbert gave Fremay a deep look, shook his head with a smile and said, "No, you needn't worry."

Partially correct, but mostly wrong.

He didn't explain further, just assured, "I'm not a pawn of the Gods, nor am I the vessel for His resurrection."

"He will definitely not awaken within my body."

Sharing a body with Him?

How could that be!

And after receiving his assurance, Fremay was still a bit hesitant, but Herbert didn't give her more time to ponder.

Is this the time to care about such matters?

Shouldn't you be caring more about yourself?

Speaking of which...

How do you exert strength underwater?

And, there is another important question.

Herbert looked at Fremay's fish tail covered with magnificent scales, watched carefully, and rubbed it with his hand.

"So, where exactly is it hidden underneath?"

Fremay gave Herbert a blank look, blushed, gently bumped her head against him, pushed away his mischievous hand, and whispered:

"Don't move around, I, I'll do it myself..."

...

And just as Herbert and Fremay were exploring happiness in the Underwater Divine Hall, one place remained exceptionally quiet.

Mist Monastery, Third Commandment Hall, Endless Maze.

Valentina was sleeping.

Miss Hungry Dragon, after undergoing bloodline purification, finally received the legacy from her bloodline—she's standing at the starting line just like other little dragons!

To put it simply, after repeating grades for who knows how many years, the professional boxer finally managed to step onto the elementary group's ring...

Under normal circumstances, this Giant Dragon legacy would last very long.

Typically, the digestion period ranges from three to thirty years, and some special Dragon legacies can last a hundred years.

This depends on the qualifications of these little dragons; the stronger their acceptance of the legacy, the shorter the absorption time.

The legacy is not one-time; it can pause and be received in segments, without losing the legacy due to external interruptions.

But generally, the first legacy acceptance will last at least over a month.

That's why Herbert felt at ease leaving Valentina in the monastery without waiting for her to awaken, and took Fremay straight to Elda to build.

Even Nenasha didn't expect this dull Anomalous Giant Dragon would show astounding talent in accepting the legacy.

On the tenth day of initial acceptance, Valentina had already awakened.

"..."

Perhaps she had completely slept enough; Miss Hungry Dragon, who had hibernated for quite a while, slightly moved her eyelids.

Then her body trembled a bit, curled up, and buried her head in the blanket with a familiar scent.

A big bump appeared in the blanket.

Valentina's first attempt to get up declared failure within thirty seconds.

After quite a while, the bump moved again.

Gurgle...

A soft rumble from her abdomen slightly reduced her sleepiness.

She squirmed a few times on the bed, poked her head out of the blanket—her eyes tightly closed.

She was like a lazy cat, first slightly moving her body, then stretching her arms out of the blanket, pressing onto the bed.

Valentina slowly stretched her long arms, like a cat extending its front paws to the fullest when stretching, indulging in the stretching of her body.

Her back also slightly arched, then gradually straightened, each motion filled with the supple grace of stretching.

Next, her mouth slightly opened, and a big yawn escaped her lips.

"Hum! Mm—Ha!"

She arched her body powerfully, stretching thoroughly with eyes closed.

Then, after stretching once, she was about to get up but felt another wave of sleepiness surge in.

So sleepy.

Should she continue to sleep?

This thought flashed in Valentina's mind, and she made a decision instantly.

Thud.

At the brink of getting up, Miss Hungry Dragon plopped back onto the bed again.

Why hesitate?

She wasn't going to work, naturally, she'd sleep as she pleased.

Thus, her second challenge to get up—still ended in failure.

But as slumber swallowed her will, Valentina's nose suddenly twitched.

A faint breeze of scent penetrated her nose.

"...Hmm?"

Her nose twitched repeatedly, and her brows slightly furrowed.

The next moment, before her consciousness returned, her body suddenly responded.

Valentina suddenly bounced up from the bed, and her once lazy eyes widened instantly, slit pupils shimmering with wary light.

She turned her head, searching urgently around, not missing any corner.

At the same time, her small nose kept twitching, much like a cat tracking prey, sniffing everywhere.
