On the other side of the battlefield, Radiant Lightning alone withstood the combined attacks of Cold Floss and Cursed Frost. Both were reverted to their ancestral form and were ice-type subspecies. Although Radiant Lightning, exhausted from the long battle, struggled to hold them off, it ultimately prevailed.
Just as the battle reached its climax, news of Huang Ying's defeat and the enemy's successful capture of the flag prevented Zhou Han from leaving.
Just kidding... This is still Chromatic Dragon and Metal Dragon territory after all. Although Qin He said that no conflicts are allowed outside of the competition, given Chromatic Dragon's personality, it will never easily believe anyone's promises.
"Hmph~ You guys should go back and practice more."
Using the burning aura to melt away the frost frozen on his body, the fiery electric coils up at the cave entrance, recovering his strength through a light sleep.
……
"Mr. Qin, you've planned this all along? Three obsidian dragons will each restrain three ancestral young dragons. By moving the metal dragon guarding the pass away, we can easily take their battle flag."
Seeing Zhuang Daihua's eyes sparkle, Qin He naturally waved his hand and said:
"It's just making good use of the resources at hand; the petty squabbles between young dragons don't really count as strategy. Let's see what your reward is for later~"
【Return in Triumph】: Lead the Blue Dragon Clan's colorful whelps to victory in the whelp battle.

In fact, during these two months, many of Zhuang Daihua's relatives in the demiplane have been busy.
Although the rewards for the Dragon Armor Set have only just arrived, they have already begun to create the Dragon Armor Set using the blueprints provided by Qin He online.
The first-generation prototype of the dragon armor is already awaiting acceptance in the demiplane's factory. Now that she has the prototype parts for the dragon armor kit, manufacturing more kits in the future will be much easier.
After the battle ended, Zhuang Daihua recalled the Purple Dragon from her ring back into the Secret Dragon Ring, waiting for the negative effects of Dragon Frenzy to completely disappear. Then, she activated the bloodline of the Amethyst Dragon within the Secret Dragon Ring.
In an instant, her already smooth long hair acquired a translucent and exquisite texture like amethyst.
The amethyst fragments floating by her temples are a unique beauty belonging to the gem dragon.
—Zhuang Daihua had heard that the Purple Dragon was the most charming dragon species. With its jade-like horns and a physique that combined the best features of both the Red and Silver Dragons, the Purple Dragon was a majestic dragon capable of winning the loyalty of its followers.
Indeed, this was the case. Among the many dragon species, Qin He had the strongest appreciation for the red dragon and the silver dragon, and he was particularly amazed by the beauty of the Wollper.
Besides, the allure of several gem dragons should not be underestimated. Qin He, in the end, is also a dragon in human skin.
Her transformation into this alluring amethyst dragon was, in a way... more like an anticipation of Qin He plundering and possessing her...
"Hmm...would you please come with me to try out the new reward? Your Highness Qin He~"
Why not? Qin He simply lifted Zhuang Daihua from the bedside and carried her out of the room. This sudden intimacy further fueled Zhuang Daihua's already wavering sense of restraint.
"...Princess carry! Hmm...at least don't be so direct...I won't be able to refuse you!"
The tingling sensation that almost suffocated her gradually overwhelmed Zhuang Daihua's reason. She probably didn't look much different now than when she was in a frenzy.
"Miss Zhuang, let's go."
The Zhuang Daihua of today no longer wears those smart and capable pencil pants. Her slender legs are now hidden beneath the long dress she wore when she first met Qin He.
Between the slightly upturned leather boots, the white socks shimmered with a soft, fleshy sheen. Zhuang Daihua seemed to have made up her mind, her slender, pale arms gradually wrapping around Qin He's neck.
Severing ties with Zi Long was Zhuang Daihua's way of not letting her infatuation with Long Kuang overwhelm her reason and emotions. To do so would be tantamount to defiling herself and disrespecting Qin He.
But now, Zhuang Daihua was barely able to control herself just from being held like this. She had been so composed before, but now…
Zhuang Daihua! No... At least she and Qin He should get to know each other better in these few days.
……
Upon arriving at the factory, Qin He briefly assessed the production level of the demiplane family base.
Just like in Western fantasy novels, Zhuang Daihua built a working steam engine using magic cores as a supplement and steam as the main component.
The steel furnaces and other facilities purchased at a high price from Shallows City are now also beginning to play a role.
The prototype of the Dragon Armor—that is, the Dragon Armor base kit made according to the blueprints—is now considered to be in its initial stages of completion.
As for those who want to try on the prototype dragon armor, it's naturally the degraded Iron Dragon whose combat power is hard to describe.
Thanks to the body-hugging enchantment, the prototype dragon armor, originally designed based on Qin Lan's body, quickly and seamlessly nestled into Hong Xiu's body.
This gave the degraded Iron Dragon, which was not much stronger than the White Dragon, a layer of black armor with a metallic sheen.
They are attached to the scales and don't seem to offer much defense—which is understandable.
The prototype dragon armor is merely a base layer to support the accessories. Its true strength depends on the accessories attached to the base.
With the Lightweight Enchantment, this prototype dragon armor, which is as light and airy as a latex suit, can help the frail, hound-like degraded iron dragon to be exempt from carrying up to ten tons of weight.
What is this concept?
The maximum weight of the object that the Amethyst Dragon can manipulate with telekinesis is only ten tons.
A ten-ton load exemption might not sound like much. But dragons are not creatures that can fly without carrying a load.
Compared to fire dragons and most elder dragons, the flying ability of dragons can only be described as tragic.
For the Red Rust, a degraded variant comparable to the White Dragon, carrying more than two large people on its back can significantly affect its flight ability.
Even if Yan Liu's physique were to fully recover to the peak level of a primordial red dragon, he would probably only weigh four or five tons by the time he reached adolescence.
Even when Yanliu is flying with a load, her maximum load is only a little over one ton.
Unless it's an individual like Leng Xu who has mastered many of the Silver Dragon's flight spells, other young dragons wearing dragon armor will not be able to fly if it's even slightly heavy.
Initially, the forging of dragon armor was divided into two directions. One was to forge hunting dragon armor using monster materials, sacrificing the advantage of flight but prioritizing ease of donning and doffing, resulting in superior performance in melee combat and defense.
The second type is magical dragon armor, made with rare metals such as mithril as a base and engraved with various enchantments, used to assist dragons in flying combat.
Mithril was once used as a lightweight yet durable metal for dragon armor. It wasn't until the advent of the Lightweight enchantment that dragons were able to wear dragon armor that wouldn't impair their flight capabilities.
Volper's Saint-level Ferocious Claw Dragon Armor is a product of the old era. She obtained it from her elders in Hell by chance.
In addition, there are some magical artifacts derived from dragon armor. The dragon scale armor that Qin He used to use was a defensive technique created by attaching a dragon scale to it using secret methods.
"Hmm... Miss Zhuang, you've managed this place very well, it's excellent."
Zhuang Daihua wasn't wearing a shawl at this moment; the soft fabric of her dress, combined with the ample curves beneath, created a unique flutter in Qin He's chest.
"That is……"
The degraded Iron Dragon immediately sensed something was wrong; the red rust in the air smelled different from that of the Purple Dragon, the Amethyst Dragon, and the Iron Dragon.
Immediately, its subconscious made it obediently submit, lying motionless in the area where it was trying on the dragon armor.
"Iron Dragon Red Rust... You've done quite well these days. This is the origin blood of the Iron Dragon. After you refine it, you can regain the physical abilities of a normal Iron Dragon."
Qin He casually tossed it, and Hongxiu, like a crocodile fighting for its prey, rushed to catch the splattered blood droplets.
"My lord! My lord... thank you!"
It had no idea that Qin He was the renowned Dragon Emperor, and kept bowing and paying its respects.
"I'll assign tasks after that to see if we can get Hraheim to provide more mithril."
If we're going to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability. The current prototype dragon armor is basically made of special fibers synthesized from magical plants.
The Yawonglong Iron Bamboo, which originated from the Green Dragon, has now begun to be planted in the demiplane.
They can provide special fibers that are even tougher than steel, and with the addition of other magical plants for reinforcement, that's pretty much the finished product Qin He saw.
While it possesses some strength, it's not exactly the most practical. Since it's intended for Zhuang Daihua and Qin Lan to wear, Qin He naturally wouldn't be careless.
"Mr. Qin, what do you think? My proposed alternative is pretty good, isn't it?"
Only when discussing topics other than romantic relationships could Zhuang Daihua regain her elegant and serene demeanor.
Resources were invested to enable the semi-green dragon-transformed dragon vein sorcerers to cultivate large quantities of Yawon Dragon Iron Bamboo, a fiber that can be used to make close-fitting soft armor that does not hinder spellcasting.
Zhuang Daihua, beaming with pride, rarely showed such arrogance in front of Qin He. She looked like a child holding a test paper, expecting praise.
"Yes, that's excellent. Miss Zhuang, what kind of reward would you like?"
The question, posed while she was looking down, completely shattered Zhuang Daihua's already crumbling defenses. Casting her reserve aside, all she could think about now was… how to get something from Qin He.
"I want Mr. Qin... to be my husband~"
They moved Qin He to the room where they had just rested, but this time... Zhuang Daihua used the force field spell of the elastic orb to lock Qin He up.
Immediately, the Amethyst Dragon's ability allowed Zhuang Daihua to pass through the bouncy magic sphere as easily as taking something from a baby, and actively explore Qin He's body.
"If you develop feelings for me in just one minute, I'll keep you by my side forever! Qin He, you big bad guy... You already have Xiu Xiu, yet you're still so ungrateful!"
Her reproachful expression held a touch of coquettishness, and beneath her gentle exterior lay a resolute determination. Zhuang Daihua was going to take the initiative today!
"Why are you being so nice to me? I'm the chosen one of death, your enemy! My death would be a good thing for both you and Xiuxiu."
"Why do you have to help me like this? Why do you have to make me unable to live without you? Since that's the case, then I'll help you too... What Xiuxiu has, I want to have too."
Qin He wanted to reach out and touch Zhuang Daihua's face, to make a promise to her. But the damned force field spell blocked out all sound, and as Qin He pondered how to break it, time ticked away.
Despite her loud words, Zhuang Daihua's slender, jade-like hands, making their first attempt, completely lost their composure.
She also forgot that the target inside the elastic sphere could not make any sound. After not receiving a response from Qin He for a long time, Zhuang Daihua's momentum collapsed, and she couldn't help but feel shy and anxious.
Since she was already in this situation, she decided to go all the way. Zhuang Daihua closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and gripped Qin He's burning hot spot tightly.
Chapter 440 The First Time on All Levels
"Qin He... Qin He! You're such a complete jerk. It's all because of girls like Xiu Xiu that you've been spoiled rotten!"
While groping Qin He, hoping to rekindle some of his passion for her, her other hand involuntarily reached inside the magic orb and pounded hard on Qin He's chest.
The actions before her eyes only intensified the sense of immorality burning within her. Zhong Liuxiu had trusted him enough to travel across the ocean to comfort her, but what about herself? She was here, holding Qin He captive, helping him do this.
She used all the strength she could muster, but what was hateful was that... her fists became weaker and weaker with each swing, and she was increasingly reluctant to use her full strength.
In the end, Zhuang Daihua could only grab Qin He's collarbone like a wronged wife. Her usually gentle eyes were now filled with nothing but tears and resentment.
She had always thought... if only she had met Qin He first.
She had initially thought that by using the force field spell she had just acquired, she could make Qin He completely at her mercy. Relying on the indestructible nature of the elastic orb, she believed she could at least do whatever she wanted to Qin He for a minute.
Only in this one minute did she dare to lay a hand on Qin He, the person she had always relied on.
Her shyness turned into an indescribable anxiety; Zhuang Daihua's eyes were now filled with how to keep Qin He.
But when Zhuang Daihua saw the disintegration spell spreading from Qin He's body, dissolving the purple force field of the elastic orb into nothingness, her impulsive and radical actions were instantly swallowed up by shyness.
To directly remove the bouncy spell, the simplest method is to use the Disintegrate spell, which destroys the magical effect.
Without the Dissociation Technique, he would be completely at Zhuang Daihua's mercy within the magic orb barrier. But now that he has used the Dissociation Technique, Zhuang Daihua no longer has any means to restrain Qin He.
Just moments ago, Zhuang Daihua was so impatient, her hands almost aching from trying to manipulate Qin He, but now she dared not face Qin He, who had broken free of his seal.
She was afraid that her words had upset Qin He, afraid that he would turn and leave. Before Zhuang Daihua could try to hold Qin He tighter, he pulled her into his arms first.
“Miss Zhuang, as you can see, I am indeed not a devoted man... My mother and Xiuxiu’s mother, in order to repay their kindness, I will owe Xiuxiu a debt for the rest of my life.”
"And I will spend my whole life loving her, cherishing her, and treasuring everyone who loves me. Now that I've met you... I can't let you leave me."
This time, it was Qin He who pinned Zhuang Daihua down on the bed. He embraced her wantonly, taking her slender, willow-like body into his arms.
"Miss Zhuang...would you be willing to give me this opportunity to become your husband?"
Maintaining her amethyst dragon-like allure, Zhuang Daihua suddenly felt a strange, burning sensation surging within her. It wasn't dragon madness, but rather something closer to the climax of lust.
Just hearing his promises almost made her unable to contain the love that had been growing stronger over the past few days.
"Then what are you waiting for? You coward... Hurry up and do it with me... I want everything you gave Xiuxiu~"
Qin He stood up, pulled Zhuang Daihua into his arms, and pressed her down onto the sofa for a passionate kiss. His hands, almost impatiently guided by Zhuang Daihua, wandered into her bosom.
"Call me Dai Dai~ From now on, only you are allowed to call me that! If Xiu... Zhong Liuxiu calls me Dai Dai again, you can punish her severely~ If I call her Xiu Xiu again, you can punish me just as severely~ Okay?"
Zhuang Daihua's sudden change of mind brought a rare smile to Qin He's face.
"Then, they'll both be fined."
Through the white light clothing, Qin He skillfully began to knead Zhuang Daihua's soft and delicate breasts.
"Mmm—Gurgle?~"
The first kiss was so passionate and tender that Zhuang Daihua felt an unprecedented flutter in her heart. Her slender, jade-like hands continued their movements, cupping Qin He's erect penis in her palms and trying to stroke it.
Their tongues intertwined, exchanging saliva. For Zhuang Daihua, who had never even actively read romance comics, this was enough to make her blush to the point of fainting.
"...It's not as big as Zhong Liuxiu's, so it probably won't be very attractive to you, right?"
Deliberately saying things to embarrass Qin He, Zhuang Daihua enjoyed his fiery invasion while pressing her ample breasts against Qin He's palms.
"It's big enough~ I like it."
