Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Creak——

The heavy door of the Third Commandment Hall was slowly opened, and light footsteps echoed from within.

Tap, tap, tap...

But soon, as the footsteps grew closer, the sound became more astonishing.

Thud, thud, thud...

In the end, it almost sounded like drumming on a heavy drum, causing the hearts of those present to tremble and beat with the rhythm.

Thud! Thud! Thud... Thud!

Finally, after reaching a crescendo, the footsteps abruptly ceased, and a tall figure slowly emerged from behind the door.

"..."

Having been absent for a long time, Valentina stepped out of the cage, ignoring the wary glances from others. She first squinted and looked up, staring at the large fireball overhead, taking a deep breath.

"Inhale——"

"Exhale!"

Accompanied by the breath, although Valentina made no movement, nor targeted anyone specifically, a terrifying oppressive presence still suddenly spread across the monastery.

Buzz!

In an instant, almost all the cultivators present who felt the dragon aura subconsciously reacted.

Some unconsciously gripped their weapons, some tightly clenched their fists, and others couldn't help but avert their eyes...

Dragon aura!

And it's the terrifying aura of a Legendary Peak!

"Hah!"

Valentina noticed these reactions and sneered coldly, intending to increase her pressure.

"Valentina."

Herbert's voice broke the silence, saying helplessly, "Behave, stop messing around."

"...Hmph!"

Miss Hungry Dragon snorted unhappily but did not resist, obediently suppressing the dissipating dragon aura.

She was, of course, doing it on purpose earlier.

Intentionally releasing the dragon aura to give these monastery guys a small warning.

I can't beat that old man, but I can't beat you guys either?

If you're not convinced, come up and fight!

Being locked up for so long, coming out and just complaining a little like this, she was really giving Herbert a lot of face.

"Very good, so obedient, I'll add a chicken leg to your dinner."

"Shut up."

"Haha, so anxious, alright, no chicken leg then."

"Ah!!? No—"

The two talked naturally, ignoring everyone else's gaze, not feeling there was anything wrong.

But this scene caused quite a stir in the eyes of the others.

Herbert really managed, as he claimed, to control this terrifying heterodox giant dragon, making her so obedient...

Many people originally had doubts about this statement, not believing he could really do it, thinking it was just bragging.

But now, seeing the fact, they had to admit Herbert did indeed have some special... training ability.

Actually managed to tame that proud giant dragon with obedience, just by using a chicken leg!

This was simply too unbelievable!

A young nun, after coming to her senses, became interested in Valentina, wanting to get closer to observe this "harmless" Legendary Giant Dragon.

But before she could approach, she was fiercely glared at by Valentina, who noticed her, startling her so much she almost fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

But actually, Valentina just ordinarily turned her head to look, but those sharp red vertical pupils were so intense, it looked like an angry glare.

"What's wrong with her?"

Valentina blinked, a little dazed.

I just looked at you, how did you fall down?

"Nothing, just overwhelmed by your aura."

"Oh? Oh!"

Valentina proudly lifted her chin, scanning all the cultivators present, nonchalantly facing their diverse gazes.

There were curiosity and doubt, but more was disgust and fear, and some hidden hatred.

But Valentina didn't care about these.

The great giant dragon is supposed to be feared by other creatures!

That's normal.

She touched the ring on her ring finger, hummed lightly, deciding to ignore these folks.

Hmm!

Won't stoop to the level of you weaklings.

Notably, Valentina was no longer wearing the attire from the cage but had changed into a black Punishment Nun's robe.

A black nun's robe enveloped her tall figure, the length just right, gently swaying with her movement.

The material seemed a bit thick, yet on her tall physique, it appeared exceptionally fitting, naturally draping along her body's contours, making her look like a meticulously carved artwork.

With this attire, when Valentina kept silent and calm, she indeed exuded a somewhat extraordinary and ethereal aura.

This wasn't Herbert's personal preference—although he didn't deny he quite liked nun's outfits.

But this was one of the conditions the Archbishop agreed for Valentina's outing, allowing her to temporarily become a nun of the Mist Monastery.

On one hand, it could reduce some prying eyes from the outside, on the other hand, it also allowed her to cultivate her mind...

Moreover, since Herbert declared he would seek justice for the people of Frost Crystal, the Mist Monastery would not stand idly by, voluntarily providing some appropriate assistance.

The monastery dispatched a Holy Knight Squad and two Punishment Nuns to accompany Herbert to Frost Crystal Royal City.

Nominally, Valentina was one of the nuns, and the other was Herbert's acquaintance, Sister Kaplan.

This steady middle-aged nun, noticing Herbert's gaze, nodded and said, "Lord Herbert, I will go with you to bring retribution to Frost Crystal."

Though Sister Kaplan was considerably stronger than Herbert, Herbert's status as a three-family servant was rather subtle, everyone tacitly acknowledged his position to be slightly higher than other cultivators of the same level.

And Herbert would not be arrogant over such trivial matters, he also humbly bowed in return.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Kaplan."

Meanwhile, a strange gleam flashed in Herbert's eyes as he bowed.

"It seems, it's her..."

The accompanying Holy Knight Squad was led by the High Tier Knight Garen, whose abilities Herbert could comprehend, but Kaplan, though claiming to be High Tier, seemed somewhat beyond his understanding.

Herbert knew better than anyone, while the Archbishop trusted him, he certainly wouldn't be without backup preparations.

Though he didn't know the specifics, among these people accompanying them, there must be means to suppress Valentina at a critical moment.

Now it seemed, that the restriction was likely in the hands of Sister Kaplan.

As soon as Miss Giant Dragon showed any signs of going berserk, Sister Kaplan would step in to stop her.

At that time, not only would Valentina be forcibly taken back, but Herbert would also face severe punishment.

Simultaneously, Herbert was aware these people weren't only targeting Valentina, they were also watching him.

They would take compulsory action if Herbert engaged in any extreme behavior...

Indeed, these individuals were both aids in eliminating evil and shackles monitoring and restraining Herbert's actions.

"However, as long as used well..."

Herbert looked at this team that was about to accompany him, thoughts flashing through his mind.

"They might not necessarily be entirely unusable for my purposes."
