The grey mouse was struggling as it gnawed on the roasted pig's trotter that Tammy had finally give to it reluctantly. When it heard these words, the meat it hadn't yet managed to swallow down into its stomach became stuck in its throat and it choked. It hurriedly coughed a few times before finally recovering.

The mouse looked weakly at Tammy: “… Your brain… Has it broken?"

Tammy had originally not held much hope in his heart either. Seeing the mouse act like this, he sighed and felt even worse.

The mouse wiped its mouth, then urged him emphatically, "You definitely can't think too much about this. That person just has a good character. As a knight, he absolutely wouldn't have any such intentions towards a dragon like you…"

All the air seemed to have been sucked out of Tammy's body. He dejectedly hung his head and asked, "Then what should I do? I seem to have fallen for him."

“Thud!” The pig's trotter in the mouse's hand finally fell onto the ground.

Tammy frowned so hard his eyebrows almost touched. He asked the mouse, "What should I do?"

The mouse got up, stood on the stone, and said emotionally, “What else can you do? The two of you have the same gender, and are of different races, okay?! What else do you want to do?! Of course, you're going to give up on him! I'm telling you, it's probably time for you to mate. I think you urgently need to find a female dragon. Calm down a bit first. I remember that there are some dragons on South Island…"

Tammy unhurriedly gnawed on the roasted meat in his hands. He thought for a moment, then said, "Say, should I go and s.n.a.t.c.h the princess from Pip Kingdom this time?"

The grey mouse couldn't keep up with Tammy's jumping train of thought, "… What?"

Tammy nodded to himself, “Well, If I go and find another princess, I should be able to see s.h.i.+loh again, right! He's a knight, so he'll come to save the princess!"

The grey mouse stared: “--What are you trying to do?"

Tammy stuffed the last piece of meat in his hands into his mouth and savored it, “Cultivating feelings."

Fortunately, the last time when he and s.h.i.+loh roasted pork together, s.h.i.+loh told him some things, such as Xilan Kingdom was to the west, and Pip Kingdom was in the east.

Once he had a general orientation, he never lost his way when he looked down from the sky.

Just when Tammy was thinking that his plans were on the right track, the grey mouse jumped back out from behind the stone, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lord Dragon, I think… The premise for you developing a relations.h.i.+p is that you first have to be a person."

Tammy was unconcerned as he said, “I remember telling you before that I used to be a person. My soul is that of a person too."

“No, no, no…” The grey mouse shook its head, "I meant your current appearance."

The grey mouse reflected for a moment, then expressed, "You say that you were once human. Then do you feel… Would the you that was a human like another species… Um… For example… Would you like a mouse like me?"

Fall for a mouse?

Tammy's scalp was stiff as he imagined it, then he violently shook his head.

“Exactly!" The grey mouse patted its thighs, "Then why do you think s.h.i.+loh would like a dragon?"

Looking at Tammy's tangled expression, the grey mouse continued, "It's not that there's no way. It seems that dragons can become human, but for the specifics, it's probably better to ask the dragons on South Island…"

Tammy looked towards the south.

South Island?

There was no one left in the deep cave.

A grey mouse crouched behind a stone, concentrating on gnawing the remaining half of a corn cob.

It was gnawing on it while whispering silently in its heart.

Can, can't, can, can't, can, can't.

The last corn kernel was swallowed into its stomach.

Can.

The grey mouse sighed and lay back on the ground.

Could dragons really become human by going to South Island?

It wasn't very clear on the details, but it still knew some general information. After dragons reached adulthood, they would have the ability to take on human form. But the premise was that they would have to kill people.

That stupid dragon that would help others count their money after he was sold, would he really kill people in order to become a man again?

Hopefully, the silly dragon would be able to find an answer on South Island.
