Otaku Witch-Chapter 1440 - 789: Dragon’s Nest Daily Life

Dorothy naturally had no idea that her world was already sharpening its knives towards the Great Dragon. At this moment, the homebody witch was lying leisurely in a rattan chair on the beach, contentedly holding her round belly and enjoying the sea breeze to digest her food.

Ah, this contentment, no thought of returning home.

Only the somewhat heavy breathing beside her was a bit noisy.

"Hey, is it that serious? It’s just an indulgent meal, it’s not like you’re going to get fat."

The homebody witch looked with some exasperation at Miss Black Dragon, who was diligently exercising beside her, and asked.

At this moment, Miss Black Dragon’s belly was also round, after all, the size of that Terrifying Anglerfish was at least half of Miss Black Dragon’s size, and she ate an amount of food equivalent to half her size in one go. It would be strange if her belly wasn’t big.

However, Miss Black Dragon was also a dragon with standards—she indulged when eating, but immediately started self-discipline after finishing.

At this moment, she was carrying a huge stone, doing Great Dragon push-ups on the ground, and had already done nearly ten thousand of them in one go. Steam was rising from the gaps in her scale armor.

Hmm, this is the Great Dragon’s cooling system, equivalent to human sweating. Judging by the air-distorting temperature of the steam, if Miss Black Dragon were in human form, she would surely be drenched in fragrant sweat.

Dorothy, in all her lifetimes combined, was encountering such a diligent Great Dragon for the first time. Normally, Great Dragons give off a lazy vibe, as their species can grow stronger by simply eating and sleeping; they truly don’t need to exercise.

She thought of Little Fatty Dragon Emora; compared to Miss Black Dragon, that little guy was at the opposite end of the spectrum.

"Honestly, you could digest it all in one nap. No need to work so hard."

The lazy homebody witch tried to persuade Miss Black Dragon to join her in indulgence.

Hmm, mainly because the noise from her exercising was a bit too loud.

"That fish was good stuff, and your skills are excellent. Can’t let good things go to waste; exercising improves the absorption effect."

But Miss Black Dragon was unmoved. Though her face was twisted with exhaustion, her claw movements remained impeccable.

"Thank you for the compliment, but honestly, the improvement you’re getting from tiring yourself out is probably just one or two percent. It’s not like we only eat one meal—I’ll cook again tomorrow."

The lazy Great Demon Dorothy continued trying to corrupt this diligent dragon.

Perhaps she found her annoying, or maybe she’d simply met her exercise goal for the day. Miss Black Dragon shook her wings, tossing the huge stone from her back to the side, then glanced at the incessantly chattering human. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Even the smallest progress is progress. If there’s a chance to do better, why not take it?"

She said in response.

Dorothy: "......"

The homebody witch was at a loss for words, having been retorted against. She even paused her ongoing research on magic in her mind, and looked in surprise at the Black Dragon before her.

Hmm, this Miss Black Dragon didn’t think like a typical dragon at all.

For dragons with long lifespans and bloodline heritage, efficiency didn’t really matter—they had all the time to wait and to waste.

The desire to do things quickly and efficiently was generally a thought process of short-lived species like humans. They didn’t have much time, and couldn’t afford to waste a single second.

"Do you have something urgent you need to do?"

Dorothy sat up from her recliner, and asked curiously.

She guessed that this Miss Black Dragon surely had something urgently awaiting her attention, or else she’d have no reason to pursue strength so diligently and eagerly.

However, in response to her inquiry, question marks appeared above Miss Black Dragon’s head.

"Huh? An urgent matter? No, I’m quite free. The only thing recently is using you in exchange for ransom with that Golden Lady."

She roared softly in response.

"Then what’s the rush?"

The homebody witch couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She lay back down and resumed her mental research on magic, pondering ways to reduce the consumption of some Low-Ring Magic to suit her current weak magical power.

Of course, she was mainly killing time, as researching magic was her greatest hobby. She found joy in it, and though it was research, to her it was also entertainment and relaxation, not some secret competition.

"I’m not in a rush either; exercising is just one of my daily hobbies, okay? Otherwise, isn’t sneak eating and sleeping boring? Besides, it’s always good to become a little stronger. If I were a bit stronger, I wouldn’t even need to trouble myself to kidnap you; I’d snatch the treasure from that Golden Lady directly."

After finishing her exercise, Miss Black Dragon lay on the ground as well and casually responded.

Well, deep down she knew she wasn’t quite normal, because none of her fellow dragons ever exercised, but she really couldn’t sit still. Once idle, she felt inexplicably anxious, with a peculiar sense of guilt and urgency.

And if she stayed idle too long, she would even have nightmares. Although once she woke up anxiously, she couldn’t remember the content of her nightmares, the unsettling feeling of panic wouldn’t go away.

She only had a vague notion that in those dreams, she lost something very important because she was too lazy and powerless.
