Life After Being Claimed by the Disabled Dragon Lady - Chapter 74

Since Violet was born, all the servants in the manor had to obey her. Later, when she attended the magic school, her classmates were all children of nobles, and the right to speak in their interactions was determined by power and magic aptitude.

Her grades in all subjects were excellent, and she chose to join the military, quickly becoming a general.

Her personal strength was much stronger than Long Ling’s, but Long Ling was still unwilling to listen to her.

If she wanted to live with Long Ling, she couldn’t be too aggressive, otherwise Long Ling would be unhappy.

This was a completely unfamiliar way of getting along for Violet.

She was used to being high and mighty, issuing commands, and controlling everything she owned. She never stooped to listen to what others were thinking.

But the little dragon she liked wouldn’t accept having her freedom restricted; she could only accept Violet’s company.

Violet couldn’t occupy her whole heart, perhaps only a small corner.

Violet wanted to hold Long Ling tightly in her arms, to let Long Ling know that she was the most important person in her heart, but she couldn’t do that anymore.

“I’ll go with you.”

When Long Ling heard Violet’s tone of humble compromise, she thought her ears were playing tricks on her.

After all, in her previous world, Violet’s status was not much different from a Prince. A Prince not only had a Princess Consort but also secondary consorts, and concubines offered by various local officials. She had always felt that for Violet, her unwillingness to marry her meant that Violet felt she was not worthy to be her official wife.

During those days when she was away from Violet, she also speculated in her heart that Violet must think she was ungrateful, and after she left, Violet would find many Alphas and quickly forget about her.

But Violet didn’t do that and still chased after her. Their relationship was not so insignificant; she might hold some status in Violet’s heart. Even so, she didn’t want to be an unofficial partner.

A little white figure popped up in Long Ling’s heart, pulling at her emotions, warning her not to be too harsh on the little Dragoness. It was already quite good that the Dragoness was willing to lower her head. As a dragon, one should be content with what one has.

Another dark figure said, “Be even more excessive. Violet might still be pretending now. Let’s see how long she can keep it up.”

Long Ling felt that the most important thing for two people to be together was happiness. If one of them had to be chosen to be happy between her and Violet, she would selfishly choose to make herself happy.

“Then let’s go together.” Long Ling glanced at Violet’s hand, which was firmly holding hers. “You have to let go first; otherwise how can we walk?”

Violet was very displeased: “We can walk while holding hands.”

She couldn’t hold Long Ling’s hand when she was in a wheelchair before. Now that her legs were better, of course they should hold hands when going out together.

Long Ling pulled her hand back herself: “I don’t want to hold hands.”

Violet asked softly: “Then I’ll carry you?”

Long Ling immediately refused: “No, we are just strangers now.”

Violet pondered the three words “just strangers” in her heart.

She had agreed to everything Long Ling just said, yet Long Ling still insisted on treating her like a stranger.

Violet couldn’t help but ask: “When can we stop being strangers?”

Long Ling looked at Violet and said: “It depends on your performance.”

These words sounded familiar. It seemed like she had said them to the little dragon before. How could the petty little dragon remember them so clearly and use them to reply to her?

Violet wanted to ask for a specific time, but Annie rushed over and said to Long Ling: “Sister Long Ling, there are a few new shops over there, let’s go check them out together.”

These two dragons were taking so long just discussing whether or not to hold hands. If they continued talking like this, it would be dark soon.

Mo Dai smiled gently: “You young dragons go play together. I have things to do. I need to make sure Long Ling’s aunties get some work done. Annie, did your mother say when she would come to pick you up?”

Annie said full of energy: “She’s probably busy for a while. Apart from contacting me with a magic communication crystal yesterday to say she arrived home, she hasn’t looked for me since. I can play with Sister Long Ling and go home later.”

Violet thought she had arranged for someone to cause Rosalind’s family some trouble, so those two dragons could leave together and she could be far away from Long Ling. She didn’t expect Rosalind to leave and Annie to stay by Long Ling’s side.

Mo Dai instructed Long Ling: “Take good care of your little sister Annie, don’t let her get lost.”

Long Ling nodded slightly: “I’ll keep an eye on Annie.”

Mo Dai was very relieved. Before leaving, she glanced at Violet: “Your Grace the Duke, I have something I want to say to you privately.”

Violet followed Mo Dai, walking to a place away from Long Ling.

Mo Dai spoke frankly: “Our Long Ling and you are not in the same league. If you are not sincere, don’t keep pestering her, and don’t block her good marriage prospects.”

She was constantly worried yesterday when Violet and Long Ling were together. A lone Alpha and a lone Omega were alone in a room, and both dragons were very young. If they sparked a flame again, it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath.

Long Ling and Violet had deeply marked each other. Long Ling had a very difficult estrus period last time and barely got through it. If she were to have relations with Violet again this time, all her previous restraint would be wasted.

Violet stared at Mo Dai: “You will naturally know my sincerity towards Long Ling in the future. As for good marriage prospects, is there anyone else who is more compatible with Long Ling than I am?”

Mo Dai had never met such an arrogant Omega. Violet had the resources, but she was too arrogant, not even humble in front of an elder.

There were so many Omegas in the world, on what basis could she say that she and Long Ling were the most compatible?

Violet curved her lips: “She will only belong to me. What you say doesn’t count; only what Long Ling says counts.”

Mo Dai finally understood that Violet was determined to be entangled with Long Ling. Fortunately, Violet wasn’t pregnant with a dragon egg, otherwise, how arrogant would she be?

Mo Dai said angrily: “How sweet can a fruit that is forcefully twisted be? You are a Duke, you have so many Alphas to choose from. When we wanted you to marry Long Ling, you were unwilling. What can you gain by doing this, besides wasting Long Ling’s youth and affection?”

Violet’s eyes were calm: “I will marry Long Ling and compensate her well. If you keep hindering us like this, you are actually pushing Long Ling’s happiness away.”

Mo Dai was speechless for a moment. She didn’t expect that caring for her daughter would make her the villain?

She couldn’t argue with Violet, so she sighed heavily: “If you can give Long Ling happiness, I certainly won’t stop you, but you have to guarantee in advance that you won’t hurt her again, and you won’t casually capture her again. She’s not a small pet. How can you always bully her?”

Violet glanced in Long Ling’s direction from afar, her tone softening considerably: “I won’t do it again. I want to be with her properly.”

Mo Dai felt a sense of relief upon hearing Violet’s guarantee. Long Ling and Violet’s matters were for them to sort out themselves; she wasn’t an overbearing elder.

After Mo Dai left, Violet returned to Long Ling’s side.

Long Ling was in line with Annie buying a surfboard in a shop, and couldn’t help but secretly look at Violet a few more times.

She was a little worried that Violet and her mother would argue and that her mother would bully her. After all, her mother had called Violet a disabled Omega before.

She saw that Violet’s eyes were not red, but her heart still felt a little tense. She couldn’t help but ask: “Did Mom say anything to you?”

Violet noticed the tension in Long Ling’s eyes, and deliberately lowered her voice: “She said a lot. Do you want to know?”

There were many people queuing around, and the noise was very loud.

Long Ling thought Violet was complaining to her, and since she hadn’t heard, she couldn’t help but lean closer.

Violet’s lips couldn’t help but curl up, and she lightly kissed Long Ling’s cheek.

Long Ling’s face immediately flushed red. She quickly turned her head to look at Annie.

Annie was still waiting for the boss to take the surfboard from the shelf.

Covering her hot cheek, she lowered her voice: “I was asking if Mom scolded you. Why did you suddenly kiss me? You have to ask if you can kiss me before you kiss me!”

Violet looked at Long Ling’s rosy lips opening and closing non-stop, and a smile spread across her eyes: “Can I ask now?”

How could she be allowed to proceed without permission first?

She was worried about Violet, but Violet acted as if nothing happened and tried to seduce her.

Long Ling picked up a handkerchief and wiped the lipstick mark off her face, glaring at Violet: “No! You just wanted to kiss me!”

Violet watched her eyes become deep. The little strawberry dragon had become smarter.

Long Ling’s face instantly felt several degrees hotter than before. She really wanted to kiss her back, immediately pin the big Dragoness down on the bed, and exhaust her until she was powerless, so she wouldn’t always flirt with her like this.

Violet seemed to see through her thoughts and continued to tempt her: “There is a hotel nearby. Although it can’t compare to the large bed at the Yliddari Manor, occasionally trying something new can be fun.”

Long Ling’s cheeks were getting hotter and hotter. She suspected Violet’s estrus period had arrived.

Her estrus period had come many times, and she hadn’t encountered Violet’s estrus period. An Omega’s estrus period was more frequent than an Alpha’s. It was normal for Violet to have such needs.

How did Violet cope with her estrus period when she wasn’t around?

Long Ling interrupted her wandering thoughts and refused: “I don’t want to go.”

Violet’s red lips curled up: “Then let’s go to the sea.”

Long Ling sometimes really wanted to cover Violet’s mouth. Had she completely let loose now?

“Sister Long Ling, look at the new surfboard I bought. Isn’t it pretty?” Annie bought a new surfboard and skipped towards Long Ling.

Long Ling looked at the surfboard in her hand. It looked like a very ordinary board, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, somewhat resembling a marine animal’s tail fin. The surfboard Annie bought was sky blue, which looked good with her skin tone.

Long Ling couldn’t help but praise: “It’s beautiful.”

Annie raised her eyebrows and pushed Long Ling’s shoulder: “Sister Long Ling, you go pick one too. Let’s play together.”

Long Ling followed Annie to pick a surfboard. Most of the surfboards had the same style, only the colors were different. She casually chose a light green one, which was fresh and natural.

Violet chose a red surfboard. When Long Ling was about to pay, Violet had already paid in advance.

Annie couldn’t help but whisper: “Don’t think a little money can make me let go of my hatred.”

Long Ling quietly took the price tag from the back of the surfboard and showed it to Annie.

Annie clenched her fist: “Thirty thousand gold coins for a surfboard? Why don’t they just rob people? Why is the Duke so rich? Can she share some with me?”

Long Ling wanted to say that Violet also had a secret room filled with mountains of gold coins.

In any case, Violet was indeed very rich. The wealth accumulated by her family for generations was something dragons like them couldn’t compare to.

Long Ling still said to Violet: “I’ll return the money for Annie and mine later.”

Violet smiled slightly: “If you come home with me, I’ll forgive all your debts. The gold coins and gems in the secret room will all be yours.”

Long Ling wasn’t the poor little dragon she used to be; she wouldn’t fall into the trap for a few gold coins.

They changed into their swimsuits and went to the beach together. The sky was filled with large swathes of red fire-clouds, like a melting golden oil painting.

Blue waves rolled on the sea surface, the air carried a salty, humid scent, and a lingering melody and moving singing could be faintly heard.

Annie couldn’t help but cheer: “Sister Long Ling, hurry up. That’s the sound of mermaids singing on the island.”

Long Ling had only seen descriptions of mermaids in picture books. This was the first time she had genuinely heard such ethereal and beautiful singing. Even without seeing the mermaids, just hearing the song was enough to imagine how beautiful they were.

There was a wandering poet on the beach accompanying the mermaid’s song with an accordion. Long Ling found the melody oddly familiar. Walking closer, she realized it was the wandering poet she had met by the Valen River.

She had given him some gold coins as travel expenses back then and didn’t expect to meet again.

Long Ling suddenly felt a sense of meeting an old friend in a foreign land and walked over to greet the wandering poet.

The wandering poet was also surprised to meet the beautiful and kind noble lady here. He was very excited, took off his hat to Long Ling, and bowed: “Miss Long Ling, I didn’t expect to meet you here. You are as beautiful as before.”

Long Ling saw that his clothes were better than when they first met, and his complexion was ruddy and healthy. It seemed he had been doing well during this time.

“You too. You look like you’ve been to many places.”

The wandering poet laughed heartily, very cheerful, and began to tell Long Ling about his travel experiences.

Violet watched Long Ling and the wandering poet conversing freely. During the time she and Long Ling were separated, Long Ling had met many people, so she wasn’t so reliant on her anymore.

Annie was also happy to listen to the stories, her eyes lighting up. So, Sister Long Ling knew such an interesting person.

When they were talking animatedly, the wandering poet handed the accordion to Long Ling, inviting her to play and sing together.

Long Ling had learned some music from wandering poets when she was trading with Mo Dai and wasn’t sure if she had forgotten everything.

But at the enthusiastic invitation of the wandering poet, she still picked up the accordion.

Long Ling’s silver-white long hair was outlined by a glittering light in the sun. She slightly lowered her head, her fingers long and strong, playing a melodious and smooth tune on the accordion.

Strings of blue notes seemed to jump and dance around her. The wandering poet sang along, and the distant mermaid’s song harmonized with it, sounding like a celestial melody, attracting many people to stop and watch.

Violet had never seen Long Ling like this. She had missed important moments of Long Ling’s growth.

At the end of the song, Long Ling bowed slightly to the surrounding crowd and returned the accordion to the wandering poet, prompting a round of warm applause.

Before Violet could walk over, Annie stepped forward first and hugged Long Ling’s arm: “Sister Long Ling, you are amazing. How can you do everything?”

Long Ling looked towards Violet. She had thought of Violet when passing the Glis Seaport, and had learned to play the accordion to distract herself from her sadness.

Violet also watched Long Ling quietly, wanting to know when she had changed.

Long Ling only said to Annie: “I just learned it casually, I don’t know everything.”

Annie was a little worshipful: “Sister Long Ling, please teach me. I’ll buy an accordion and come to you to learn.”

Long Ling blinked: “Sure. I don’t know how to surf, you can teach me.”

Annie smiled and said: “Of course! I’m very good at it.”

This scene was particularly jarring in Violet’s eyes.

“Why don’t you ask me to teach you? I can teach you too.”

Violet suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Violet took her hand and pulled Long Ling to her side.

The distance between Long Ling and Annie instantly widened by a step.

Annie was a little angry: “I asked Sister Long Ling first!”

Violet’s beautiful face held a hint of coldness: “So what? She is my Alpha.”

Annie clenched her fist. Why did this woman, even though they had broken up, still insist on monopolizing Sister Long Ling?

She stomped her foot and looked at Long Ling, hoping Long Ling would stop Violet’s domineering behavior.

Long Ling quickly said gently: “Alright, Annie, go play first. I’ll come and surf with you later.”

Only then did Annie snort and leave with her surfboard.

Long Ling’s face instantly turned cold.

Violet seemed to anticipate what she was about to say, and said with mesmerizing eyes: “Can I teach you how to surf?”

Long Ling crossed her arms, unmoved: “Annie is my friend. Why were you so mean to her? She’s just a little girl.”

Violet was a little angry: “Everyone who looks young and cute in your eyes is a little girl. Don’t you know she is an adult Omega?”

Long Ling found that a bit strange: “You don’t think something is going on between us, do you?” She had always been attracted to mature women.

Violet looked at her ice-blue eyes: “You’d better not have anything going on. I’m listening to you today and communicating with you the way you want, so you should spend time surfing with me.”

Long Ling countered: “If I have more friends, do you have to treat them like this every time?”

If those who sought a marriage alliance were also called friends, perhaps one day she would see Long Ling marry them.

Violet was unmoving, and the atmosphere between them grew increasingly silent.

Just as Long Ling was about to turn and leave, Violet suddenly spoke: “The doctor also recommended that I swim more, it would be beneficial for my injured leg.”

Long Ling said angrily: “You can go swimming by yourself.”

Violet’s tone became downcast: “If I swim alone, and my injured leg suddenly stops moving, I might drown.”

Violet sounded utterly convincing. If Long Ling didn’t know their race were dragons, she might have believed it.

Who has ever heard of a dragon drowning while swimming? Isn’t that as ridiculous as a fish drowning in water?

Long Ling frowned. Violet took her surfboard and started walking toward the sea. Her back was solitary and determined, looking genuinely like she was going to seek death.

Violet, carrying the surfboard, held onto the tail and headed out over the waves towards the deep-sea area, getting further and further away from her.

A white rolling wave crashed over, and both Violet and the surfboard disappeared.

Long Ling’s heart immediately tightened. Her eyes urgently searched the sea surface several times.

Other dragons were surfing, but Violet was nowhere to be seen.

Long Ling’s face turned pale with fear. She frantically rushed into the sea to look for Violet.

As soon as she entered the water, she felt her legs weaken. She couldn’t swim and hadn’t swum in the water in her dragon form before.

She called out Violet’s name, both anxious and panicked. Just as she was about to transform into her dragon form, a pair of gentle, moist arms suddenly wrapped around her neck from below.

Long Ling was pulled underwater by Violet. She surprisingly didn’t choke, and felt very natural and comfortable in the water.

Violet’s soft lips pressed against hers, and a long string of small bubbles gurgled up between them.

Her silver-white long hair and Violet’s long hair slowly intertwined. Their bodies held each other tightly and gradually dove deeper. A large school of colorful fish swam around them.

A look of surprise flashed in Long Ling’s eyes. Violet lightly bit her lip, as if punishing her for not paying attention.

Violet suddenly gently blew out a light purple magic bubble, which resembled a heart and headed toward her, gently enveloping her inside.

Long Ling suddenly heard Violet’s inner voice.

Hmph, finally hooked. Didn’t think this wouldn’t tempt you.
