"We arrived at the Dragon clan," they landed in front of the clan, and the guards blocked the gate, "Outsiders can't enter the clan," one of the dragon beasts said.

"So my female can't enter the clan?" Titus growled and the guards see Bai then blush making him angrier, "We apologize, you can enter now," they step aside and let them enter the clan, the guards tried to talk to Bai but Titus glared at them.

"Titus," Bai cooed and it made him calm down, "Titus, I think you might be the one to tour her around, I heard one of the females that the noble family is here right now, we will go first," Bai greeted them goodbyes and they walk away.

"Can you show me around now?" Titus nodded and warp his hand around her waist to make her follow him. As they enter, males immediately look at Bai and their eyes widen, females that were surrounded by their husbands show envy in their eyes.

"That's Titus, right? Where did he get that female?"

"She's beautiful... I want her."

"You have no chance, he's a triple marked!"

Many whispered about the new female, some tried to approach her but immediately run away when Titus glared at them, "Titus? What's that?" Bai pointed at the fruits that she had never seen, it looks like apples but were purple and had three black vein-like wraps on them.

"Those are called Tralye, the previous dragon queen was the one who discovered that kind of fruit when she was separated from her males, it is also good for pregnant females,"  Titus explained.

"How much is it? I'm hungry again..." He didn't reply and just demand the seller to give her three tralye and pay, "Titus?" Bai called him.

"These are cheap so eat it up, do you want to buy more?" Bai then shakes her head and made him smile, he show her where are the training ground, the arena, the ruler's place, and a field where females and children hang out.

They didn't know that someone was loyal to the rulers when to check what these trending females they talking about and went back to the ruler's place.

"Your highness, there is indeed a beautiful female but she is with the Gladiator, Titus," the dragon beastman kneel as he reported it to the king who is sitting on the throne.

"So that fool decide to take someone else than my female child? Take me there and call my other male children, maybe they are interested in this female I've been hearing about."

"No need to call us father, we are ready to go," ten young males enter the room with flashy clothing scales, the father smirk and was ready to go when another guard enters the room.

"Your highness! The gladiator's guardians are here," the guard said and Titus's family enters the throne room with a frown on their faces, "We didn't expect you to be here! What's your purpose for your visitation?"

"Cancel the contract," the mother, named Lucia said and everyone in the room froze, "Why? Did my female child do something to offend you? I will make it up to you on her behalf!"

"Always like that your highness. The female that Titus brought is more suitable for him! Unlike your female child who always insulted me, Bai Qingqing is respectful!"

"Please reconsider this! My female child really likes your child and I don't want her to be heartbroken..." the king said but the brothers didn't believe it, they know what their sister is.

"I won't change my mind, cancel the contract now."

"No!" a deep but female voice roared in the room, "I want Titus and you dare to refuse?!" the female dragon, Jass yelled in anger at the mother and the males tried to comfort her.

"See? I told you, now cancel the contract!" the king want to protest more but they already left, he then looks at his female child, "Did you do something again?! Now look what you did!"

"It must be that female's fault! I want to see her with my own eyes now!" she orders one of her males and immediately left while her brothers and father followed her.

Bai felt something is off and Titus notice it, "Are you ok Bai? We can rest under that tree," he suggested but Bai shakes her head.

"I'm fine I just feel weird, I always get these strange cravings- wait," Bai stop midway and it made Titus worried, "do you have healers right? I need a check-up now."

Titus didn't question it and carried her towards the healer's den, "Old man!" Titus kicks the door open and it made the old beastman startled.

"Disrespectful fool! Knock first!" but when he turns around and sees Titus carrying a female in her arms he hurriedly told him to put Bai on the floor filled with fur skin.

"What happened?" the healer asked them.

"My female said she feels weird and had too many cravings for food," Titus said and the healer hummed in reply, "Young female, can I have permission to check you? I just need your hand first."

Bai nodded and give her hand to him then he start pressing two of his fingers on her wrist, after a minute he looks at Bai and said, "Congratulation, you are pregnant! With eggs!"

Eggs? Snake eggs?

"What I'm concerned about is that I don't know what species are the eggs, what species is the father of the eggs?" the healer asked but Bai would not tell him.

"My male's origin cannot be exposed sir," Bai said and the healer looked somehow stunned, "I didn't expect a female like you will defend the male's origin, I have tralye if you want."

"No need, my male already has one for me, thank you," Titus paid the healer and left the healer's den but was greeted by a group of males and a huge female in the middle.

Oh, God.

The female had so much dirt all over her body that made her almost black as coal, her hair tangled, visible blackheads on her nose.

"You dare to rob my male?!" she yelled, the first time she sees Bai it made her inferior, she is indeed a beauty, with a nice body, and her eyes widen when she saw a female child on her chest, making her jealous.

"Your male? He's my male," Bai said with confidence, she knows Titus will choose her, Jass gritted her teeth, "You dare to rob the princess's male?!"

"Oh? You dare to rob the queen's male?" everyone froze even Titus's family after they left the ruler's castle they saw them going to the city in a hurry so they followed them just to hear Bai being a queen."

Jass doesn't know what to say, the female has many unknown marks and heard that she is from another continent so she doesn't know which mark belongs to the unknown king.

It made her mad and embarrassed but deep inside, she felt fear. Because of panic, she announces a challenge which made her regret it, "I want a challenge! Whoever wins will have Titus!"

"Young Bai, please! Jass was famous for her dancing skills!" Lucia told Bai but she just smiled, "Don't worry mother as a queen, she needs to know every skill," she explained and stared at the tiger's mark on her left thigh.

She touches it to send her location but to no avail, something is blocking her connection with her males, "What kind of cloth is this?" the father, named Balo, asked.

"The first layer is chiffon and the layer underneath is silk," she replied with a smile, she is not lying because Virgil actually made the dress, he knows that she needs to wear revealing clothes to show off the marks.

"I'm still surprised you are a queen... Should we call you your majesty?"

"Huh? No no, young Bai or Bai is fine since you are my in-laws," Bai reassured them. Her clothes look similar to one of the dancers in those novels.

The top barely covers her breast and her skirt which has two slits in front is a bit see-through but not noticeable because of the dark color.

Everyone in the dragon clan heard the news and some of them are already waiting in the arena. The dragon rulers and their sons didn't get a chance to meet them because they already left but they did hear she is a queen. He wants that female to be one of his sons.

Her daughter is now having a tantrum about why a female like Bai appeared in their clan. Titus's brothers just arrived at the clan earlier and keep hearing things like 'the princess challenges Titus female!' or ' Titus's female is beautiful that she could rival the female phoenixes!'

They did not believe that nonsense but now they are also waiting at the arena, they see many beastmen coming in, and now have second thoughts about whether the rumors are true.

"Look! She's here!" One beastman said then look in the direction where he was pointing, males who haven't seen Bai immediately have hearts in their eyes.

The King's oldest son of the fifth batch, John, stares at Bai in dazed. He didn't expect such beauty like her to exist. The King and Queen now know the reason why Titus's family wants to cancel the contract, she looks kind with a gentle aura and always smiles genuinely.

"I want her," John declared that made his family stunned, John always hates females because of their arrogance and their mistreatment towards the males but here he is, wanting a female.

"An advice young one, if you want her, woo her, give her delicious foods or attractive things like jewels or flashy scales, and make sure to make yourself presentable," the king said and he nodded, the brothers also listen to what their father is saying and stare at John with challenge.

The Brothers of Titus were still staring at Bai when they heard their mother calling them, "My children! I didn't know you already arrived! Why didn't you all visit me??"

"Mother, when we arrived everyone was already heading to the arena, we apologize," They said and the mother forgives them until five strange birds fly in circles around the mother, "Stubborn birds, behave!" she scolded them and they went to Balo to hide.

Beastmen and females who saw the eagles and hawks have confusion on their faces, "Before you asked these are my grandchildren, Bai's children," she said, and also show them Teri who stared at them with curiosity looks around six months old.

"So her name is Bai..." they muttered and Lucia glanced at them with a smile, "I'm afraid you don't have a chance because most of her males are already penta-marked and likes males who aren't arrogant," she said out loud the last word to let them know what she meant.

They have a scowl on their faces and pretend to ignore their mother's words, Bai and Titus sat in front of the arena while on the other side, Jass with her eight males smirk at them with her chin up as if she is looking down on Bai.

"Welcome to the female's challenge! Let their dance begin and see who's the winner!" they cheered and both females went to the middle of the arena. Bai's clothes got most of the male's attention because of how revealing it is but what they got their attention are her marks.

Twenty-one marks...

Many females whispered if they could also have that kind of clothes the males knew they can't have it because that kind of fabric doesn't exist.

Drums start to get pounded by sticks and the music began, for Bai, it's a coincidence because the rhythm and beat are also similar to belly dance music.

Jass began swaying her hips and all males began cheering until the cheering began louder when Bai began belly dancing, the controls of her hips are effortless slowly swaying her hands elegantly.

"You are lucky Titus," he heard the old healer say behind him, "I thought you want your beauty sleep," Titus commented.

"I'm not missing this opportunity to see your female dancing! She really wonders me after all," he replied and they both continue to watch her. Jass began to sweat because she's been dancing for a few minutes but won't give up yet Bai, not even a single sweat is seen on her, and just keep smiling, her dancing become more energetic as the music began to play louder and faster beat.

One last drum pounded, and the dancing battle has finished, the king stood up and look at the five judges, "Judges, please announced the winner," the judges look back and forth between the females.

After the discussion, the judge leader stood up making the beastmen nervous, as the judge announced the name of the winner, the female's heart dropped.
