Life After Being Claimed by the Disabled Dragon Lady - Chapter 43
Long Ling intended to leave right after kissing last night, but the evil dragon lady forcibly held her in her arms all night long.
The dark hair falling against her face felt ticklish. When Long Ling groggily opened her eyes, Violet was watching her lazily, resting her head on her hand.
Long Ling’s breath hitched. How was she going to explain to the evil dragon lady that she had escaped secretly?
Violet looked at the little dragon’s dazed expression, curved her lips, and snapped her fingers.
Long Ling was suddenly restored to her human form by magic. Fearing that Violet might spank her bottom again, she quickly backed away.
However, Violet pulled her into her arms. Their soft bodies pressed against each other, and the rose-like pheromones enveloped her body.
Violet’s voice was a little hoarse: “Where are you going?”
Long Ling’s cheek was pressed against Violet’s snow-white, straight collarbone. The sudden hug made her heart race and her face flush.
If last night could be explained as the evil dragon lady sleepwalking, today meant the evil dragon lady really wanted to hold her.
Long Ling felt uneasy instead: “I escaped from the fish tank yesterday. You’re not angry, are you?”
Violet’s gaze fell on Long Ling’s small nose, then shifted down to her rosy lips.
Did the little dragon think she didn’t know that she had secretly kissed her while she was asleep last night?
Violet gave the choice to Long Ling: “Do you want me to punish you with something?”
Long Ling clenched her fingers, hoping: “Can I avoid being punished?”
Violet’s red lips parted slightly as she refused: “No.”
Long Ling instantly deflated and softly explained, “The pub is officially opening today, and I want to go and check the arrangements. We finally won the competition yesterday, and I plan to put that trophy in the pub.”
Her rosy lips opened and closed, and a nimble little tongue flashed inside momentarily. The little dragon in the morning continuously emitted a sweet strawberry scent.
Violet glanced at Long Ling with displeasure. The little dragon was becoming wild, constantly thinking about going out.
Long Ling pursed her red lips and negotiated with Violet: “My Lady Duchess, I have a lot of things to do today. You can turn me back into a little milk dragon tonight, and I promise I’ll stay in the fish tank and won’t come out.”
Violet suddenly pinched Long Ling’s mouth.
Under the evil dragon lady’s cold, dark gaze, Long Ling’s ice-blue eyes blinked uneasily several times.
Violet commanded: “After breakfast today, accompany me to work to make up for the punishment of sneaking onto the bed last night.”
Long Ling drooped her head, lying back down in the hollow of Violet’s collarbone. She didn’t speak, but the hot air from her nose blew directly onto Violet’s snow-white skin.
Waves of hot airflow came, and the strawberry pheromones were like a clingy, enthusiastic puppy, licking her skin in small bursts. Soon, a slight blush appeared on the white skin.
Violet’s chest rose and fell slightly. An Omega’s body is more sensitive in the morning. Just a few breaths of hot air from an Alpha can cause a tingling, numbing itch, like tiny electric currents darting through the body.
Long Ling’s hand became restless, stroking Violet’s waist. She moved close to Violet’s ear and said softly, “How about I let you be on top tonight?”
Violet’s earlobe turned slightly red, and she squinted at Long Ling.
Whether she was on top or bottom, it was still convenient for this little dragon to make a move.
She pushed Long Ling away with one hand. Thinking Violet disagreed, Long Ling hugged Violet’s waist and kissed her from her jawline all the way up her neck, showering the tender white skin with tiny, dense kisses.
Long Ling’s face was red, her eyes were shy, and she promised Violet: “I’ll be more diligent than before.”
Saying such embarrassing words in broad daylight, Long Ling was too shy to look at Violet after she spoke. Her silvery-white dragon tail couldn’t help but wrap around Violet’s legs, the tip of the tail trembling and tapping against Violet’s instep.
The gentle kisses brought a subtle itch, kissing and sucking. Violet was very comfortable and lightly tapped Long Ling’s restless dragon tail: “That is your part, don’t try to use it as a condition for exchange.”
For an Alpha, performing well in bed and pleasing an Omega was a matter of course.
Long Ling immediately became disappointed and sat up straight: “Alright then, can I go and talk to Nora now to arrange today’s work?”
Seeing Long Ling leave when she didn’t get what she wanted, Violet couldn’t help but feel a flicker of dissatisfaction. She raised her hand, cupped the back of Long Ling’s head, and pressed her back into her arms: “I didn’t tell you to leave.”
Long Ling was suddenly pressed into the embrace by Violet like a little kitten, enveloped by the soft, warm hug.
She had missed snuggling with Violet for many days. Sniffing the fragrant rose scent, her cheeks felt slightly warm, and she wrapped her arms tightly around Violet.
After they hugged on the bed for a while, Long Ling slowly got up.
As soon as she lifted the quilt, a heavy magic book rolled down. Violet picked it up and asked her: “How did this book get here?”
Long Ling quickly explained: “I wanted to read the book and learn magic.”
Violet didn’t object: “Serious studying is a good thing. Did you ever attend a magic academy while you were with the Arnold family?”
Long Ling had no memory of learning magic and shook her head slightly: “I haven’t studied it.”
She felt worried that Violet might despise her for being an uncultured dragon and couldn’t help but nervously twist her fingers.
But knowledge is what it is. If you know it, you know it; if you don’t, you don’t. Even if she didn’t admit it, she couldn’t pretend to know what she didn’t.
Violet looked at Long Ling’s nervous appearance. She knew the little dragon had been mistreated by the Arnold family before, but she didn’t expect them not to even teach her magic.
Violet said gently: “I’ll find someone to teach you.”
Long Ling quickly shook her head: “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble? I just need to read some books. You can just teach me when you have time.”
Violet nodded softly: “I’ll have Elina find you some basic magic books. This one is not suitable for beginners.”
Long Ling’s eyes lit up, and she said sincerely: “Thank you, Violet.”
After having breakfast with Violet, Long Ling went to find Nora and handed her the trophy she won in the competition.
“Nora, I can’t attend the pub’s opening today, I have to accompany the Duchess. I’ll leave the opening matters to you for now. This is the price list for the dishes I wrote. When the time comes, you can paste the paper below the corresponding dish’s wooden sign.”
Nora took the beautiful grand trophy and the price list, a little surprised, and patted her chest: “Alright, Miss Long Ling, I will definitely handle this matter well. Please feel free to accompany the Duchess. Where are you planning to put this trophy?”
The Salmon Feast competition trophy was a golden salmon skewered on a fork. Yesterday, after the evil dragon lady spanked her bottom, she didn’t hold the trophy steady, and it got slightly dented, making it look less perfect.
Long Ling sighed softly in her heart, but quickly consoled herself that it was okay. Once she trained Mina well in the future, she could have Mina win more trophies for her.
She said to Nora: “Just put it on the counter, in the most conspicuous spot. This is the honor of our entire pub. Everyone who comes in can see at first glance that we are the winners of the Salmon Feast competition.”
Nora nodded immediately and looked at the price list with some confusion: “The other dishes on the price list, like the braised fish and the stir-fried fish, are 100 silver coins, but the price for the pickled vegetable fish is only 90 silver coins. It’s not easy for Miss Long Ling to make pickled vegetables.”
Long Ling shook her head slightly: “Once the farm harvests in the spring, the pickled vegetables can be mass-produced and stored for a long time, so it won’t be that much trouble. We just need to prepare the fish slices in advance. The other dishes need to be cooked on the spot. We are promoting the pickled vegetable fish, so if more customers order it, it will be easier for everyone.”
Mentioning the farm, Long Ling originally planned to go and check the growth of the vegetables, but she had been busy with the Salmon Feast competition recently. She was also planning to plant some fruit trees.
She had to accompany the evil dragon lady today and couldn’t spare the time, so she could only go and find Butler Marcia to help arrange the farm matters and plant more spring fruits.
Butler Marcia knew she planned to brew some fruit wine and even asked her if she was in a hurry and whether she wanted to buy an existing orchard first, which would cost roughly only twenty thousand gold coins.
Long Ling thought about the bag of gold coins the evil dragon lady gave her, of which only over two thousand was left after her spending, and she had only earned one thousand herself. She was still far from being able to buy an existing orchard directly.
She only asked Butler Marcia to plant strawberries for now and leave the harvest to fate. She would eat whatever grew.
After talking with Butler Marcia for a while, Butler Marcia told her that buying some nutrient solutions for plants could allow for an early harvest. Long Ling thought she would wait until the pub earned a little more money before visiting the nutrient solution store.
Just then, Elina quickly walked over and said with lowered eyes: “Miss Long Ling, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Long Ling hurried over. Violet’s regular carriage was already prepared at the entrance of the manor, and the guards wearing cold armor were all standing ready. Long Ling got into the carriage with a sense of pressure.
Before she was ready, Violet turned her into a little milk dragon.
As the carriage started moving, Violet placed her on her lap. Just as she was about to jump up to express her dissatisfaction, Violet handed her a basic magic book.
Violet’s eyes were beautiful: “Jump onto the book. I’ll teach you.”
Patience brings peace. Once she learned magic, she could turn back into her human form whenever she wanted.
Long Ling flew onto the magic book and began to study following Violet’s explanations, gradually entering a new world.
By the time they got out of the carriage, Long Ling was still immersed in it. Violet found her so focused that she almost didn’t have the heart to disturb her.
However, on second thought, Long Ling was serious about everything except her, and she forgot about her when she got busy. The dark-gold eyes immediately darkened.
Long Ling was becoming engrossed when suddenly everything went dark. She and the magic book were thrown into a dark place by the evil dragon lady.
Her paws felt around and found the texture of cloth.
Was she put inside the evil dragon lady’s bag?
Long Ling felt stuffy inside. She vibrated her dragon wings, flew up a little, and perched on the opening of the bag. Suddenly, she saw people coming towards the evil dragon lady, bowing and greeting her.
The aloof evil dragon lady didn’t even glance at them until they reached the governor’s office.
If the evil dragon lady was working, it should be fine for her to slack off and sleep nearby, right?
“I’m going to a meeting. You sit here first.”
Violet lifted Long Ling, who was perched at the opening of the bag, and drew a circle on the office desk with her slender finger.
Drawing a prison on the ground? Did she look so obedient that she was a little foolish in the evil dragon lady’s eyes?
Long Ling still nodded: “Okay.”
She hoped the evil dragon lady’s meeting would last a long time. She wanted to look around. She hadn’t seen this office when she came last time.
There was a large floor-to-ceiling window here, overlooking the entire bay, offering a very open view.
Violet rubbed her head, turned her wheelchair, and left the office.
