Life After Being Claimed by the Disabled Dragon Lady - Chapter 7

Violet thought of the strawberry-scented pheromones that had covered her last night. Her sensitive scent gland grew hot again, and she pulled her heavy coat tighter around her, looking down at her disabled dragon tail.

She had never experienced symptoms of pheromone disorder before her dragon tail was injured. Since her tail became disabled, however, her scent gland was easily disturbed by pheromones, and even the use of suppressor patches couldn’t completely prevent it.

Before Long Ling, she had looked for other Alphas. But just sharing a meal with them made her extremely repulsed by their pheromones, preventing her from moving into any intimate relationship with an Alpha.

She was usually a strong, dominant person, and it was rare for her to encounter a dessert this appealing. If her dragon tail was normal, she would have long since pulled Long Ling into her arms. Everything was now because of her inability to walk properly.

“I’m done eating. You finish the rest.”

Violet only left that one sentence before leaving the dining table.

Long Ling felt a little at a loss and quickly followed the steps of the Evil Dragon Miss.

When she reached the door, a luxurious carriage, mainly black and gold, happened to drive up.

Purple jewels were inlaid on the roof of the carriage. Two white horses, tall and sturdy with shiny manes, were covered with silver soft armor.

Two rows of knights in cold iron armor stood on both sides of the carriage, holding swords to guard Violet’s safety.

Long Ling could only see Violette’s profile, her cold and pale jawline, and her lips, which were vivid and seductive, giving her an air of nobility and elegance.

The personal maid bowed and respectfully opened the carriage door for Violette, lowering the ramp designed for a wheelchair.

After Violet entered the carriage, the black door was slowly closed from the outside by the attendant.

The carriage quickly drove away, the Evil Dragon Miss not waiting for her.

A trace of disappointment rose in Long Ling’s heart. If only she could hear the Evil Dragon Miss’s inner voice like before.

But she couldn’t figure out the pattern of the previous two times, and she didn’t know how it happened.

Did the Evil Dragon Miss leave just now because she was dissatisfied with her?

Long Ling squeezed her fingers. She was just a cook and had no other skills. If the Evil Dragon Miss insisted on driving her away, she would have no choice but to return to the Arnold family and accept her fate.

Sitting in the carriage, Violet’s personal maid reported to her that Long Ling had been standing there, staring blankly in the direction the carriage had left.

She had told the little milk dragon to eat her own breakfast, but the little milk dragon still chased after her.

Was she so fond of sticking to her? Not willing to be separated from her even for a moment.

Violet’s heart softened. She instructed her personal maid, “Tell the coachman to stop at the gate of the manor and notify Butler Marcia to come over.”

The personal maid quickly and respectfully said, “Yes, Your Highness.”

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Illidari Estate. Butler Marcia, summoned by Violette, quickly rushed over.

Violet’s low, lazy voice came from inside the carriage: “What did that little milk dragon bring when she came to the manor yesterday?”

Butler Marcia described the scene of Long Ling’s first day at the estate: “She only brought a very old suitcase. The box was very light and probably contained only some clothes. Although she is the only Alpha of the Arnold family, due to her mother’s situation, the Arnold family doesn’t think much of her. Only one junior Dragon Guard was sent to escort her.”

Violet recalled the fear in Long Ling’s eyes. Those fawn-like eyes were filled with wet mist, the light shimmering, making her beautiful yet somewhat fragile, arousing pity in one’s heart.

She gently tapped her long, slender fingers and said lightly, “If she needs anything, you can try to satisfy her.”

Butler Marcia respectfully accepted the command: “Rest assured, Your Highness, I will take good care of her.”

Long Ling watched the Evil Dragon Miss’s carriage leave the estate before returning to the dining table to finish her breakfast alone.

The warm milk, the savory ham, and the sweet and sour blueberry jam bread were all foods she had never tasted in the palace before.

It wasn’t so bad in this world. She could have a new life, taste different foods, and learn different recipes.

So, it didn’t matter. Even if the Evil Dragon Miss was dissatisfied with her, she would find a way to survive, even if life would be a little difficult.

After breakfast, Long Ling returned to the bedroom.

The clinking sound inside the envelope was very appealing to her, making her think it might be shiny gold coins or colorful gems—all the good things she could imagine.

Her steps back to the room were light and happy. Her crystal-clear dragon horns appeared, and her chubby, silver-white dragon tail wagged back and forth under the light blue lotus-leaf dress, her scales shimmering.

Long Ling opened the door and immediately rushed to her leather suitcase.

She opened the clasp of the suitcase, took out the envelope, which felt somewhat heavy in her hand.

Long Ling used the letter opener to open it and poured out the contents.

The sound of a large pile of gold coins falling onto the floor did not appear.

There was only a small shower of silver coins; not a single gold coin came out.

Long Ling was a little discouraged, but she roughly counted. There were about five hundred silver coins.

Five hundred silver coins, converted into the gold coins of this world, were probably five gold coins.

It was still a windfall. Five hundred silver coins were better than nothing.

After comforting herself, Long Ling quickly found her small purse designated for money and carefully put the silver coins in one by one.

These silver coins were all her wealth. If she had nowhere to go, she could rely on these silver coins to live for a while.

Long Ling was counting her meager possessions one by one when she suddenly noticed a flash of golden light.

Could it be that a lucky gold coin accidentally fell into the pile of silver coins?

Long Ling quickly moved the shining golden object out and placed it in a sunny spot.

It was an ancient key with a gold border, its surface covered with a little rust and dust, exuding the scent of being abandoned by time.

Long Ling held the key and looked at it for a while, the light in her ice-blue eyes growing brighter.

With a key, maybe there would be a treasure chest!

Since coming to this world, Long Ling had read many travelogues and adventure stories. Perhaps Grandma Clan Elder found it inconvenient to give her a large number of gold coins directly, so she gave her a treasure map and a key instead.

Long Ling’s spirits lifted. She searched through the envelope again and, sure enough, she pulled out a thick sheepskin scroll from the inner layer of the envelope.

That was right, the location of a treasure was usually drawn on a sheepskin scroll.

Long Ling’s heart raced. She rubbed her small hands and opened the sheepskin scroll with great anticipation.

[Dear Long Ling, the Clan Elder Grandma’s most beloved granddaughter, may God bless you. I hope everything is well when you arrive at the Illidari Estate. Duchess Violette is a kind and beautiful Omega, possessing large territories and countless wealth. If you can win the heart of Duchess Violette and become the Duchess Consort, you will live an enviable happy life.

I have prepared an estate and five hundred silver coins for you. The envelope also contains a tavern deed and a key. I hope you can revitalize the tavern in your spare time and use the income for your daily expenses.]

A tavern is a shop, right? She’s going to have her own shop!

She originally thought the Arnold family would only give her some clothes and silver coins as a dowry, but she didn’t expect Grandma Clan Elder to bring her such a pleasant surprise.

Long Ling had heard people in the palace say that high officials and dignitaries in the capital all had private assets, which could earn them tens of thousands of silver notes every year.

Now, she had a deed and the key to a tavern. That is to say, she was now the owner of a tavern!

This was no different from a heaven-sent fortune!

Long Ling quickly swept aside the items on the cherry wood table and spread out the deed.

Her new tavern was in Repa Town, located at No. 199 on Soka Street, with a building area of more than two hundred square meters, divided into two floors. The roads near the tavern were accessible in all directions, and there was also a resource-rich Misty Forest nearby.

The scenery was pleasant, and the transportation was convenient. This tavern must be in a prime location.

If it was lively and prosperous, she would only need to recruit two shop assistants, sell some common goods, and she could have a stable income even without going to the shop.

Long Ling clenched the deed in her hand, pressing it and the key into her palm. Her ice-blue eyes shone brightly.

Gold coins! Gold coins! She was going to earn a super lot of gold coins and become a dragon who sleeps in a pile of gold coins!
