Do you think I want to hug you?

Letia reluctantly picked Lili up.

Lili kept struggling in Letia’s arms, she didn’t want Letia to take advantage of her.

Although many shameful things had already happened to her, she didn’t know how many times she had been humiliated.

But being carried like a princess was absolutely unacceptable!

Because being carried like a princess feels like lovers!

Lili refused to be Letia’s lover, even a pretend one, she wanted to keep giving Letia cold looks, to trample Letia’s dignity.

Now Lili felt her dignity had been irreparably struck.

“Let go of me!” Lili struggled, “I won’t let you hold me!”

“You think I want to hold you!” Letia said unwillingly.

“Heh heh heh,” Karina cupped her face and laughed, “these two are teasing each other? Don’t worry, I’ve been through it, you don’t need to be shy.”

Lili really wanted to say: I’m not shy!

But with Karina nearby, Lili felt a little embarrassed.

Although Letia wasn’t a good person, Karina seemed reasonable, she looked like a kind, benevolent mother, and Lili didn’t want to give her unnecessary worries.

So Lili obediently curled up in Letia’s arms.

Letia led the way in front, Karina flew behind, wind brushed Lili’s hair, and Lili secretly looked down, finding they were about ten meters above the ground.

It was low-altitude flight and they had to dodge the surrounding trees.

After a short while, Letia flew back to the cave, and the moment they landed, Lili jumped out of her arms and sulkily smoothed her wrinkled skirt.

Karina landed steadily beside them, her gaze fixed on her granddaughter.

“Sweet granddaughter, are you cold?”

“No!” Amy answered brightly.

“Mm, good that you’re not cold!” Karina gently stroked Amy’s head.

Karina, holding her granddaughter, was the first to enter the cave, she looked around, at first cheerful, but her expression gradually stiffened.

“Do you live here?” Karina asked in surprise.

“Yes?” Lili answered puzzled.

“This place is terrible,” Karina said angrily, “you’ve been living here a month? In such a damp, cold place?”

Lili nodded, then realized her values had become skewed.

Because earlier Letia had humiliated her in many ways, making daily life unbearable, later the humiliations became less frequent and Lili felt life was getting better.

But a damp, cold cave didn’t look like a proper home.

“Letia!” Karina demanded angrily, “is this how you treat your little wife? Treating someone who just laid an egg and is recovering like this?”

“Mother, I also lost a lot of energy raising the egg, can’t you show some concern for me, I am your daughter!” Letia protested.

“Are you a dragon?” Karina asked coldly, “does Lili look frail to you?”

Letia looked unwilling, but had to obey, she used warming magic, and soon the cave felt warm and was no longer damp.

Karina nodded in satisfaction, she didn’t praise Letia much, but looked at Lili with relief, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes.

“Sorry, I wronged you, my daughter really is a blockhead, she may not understand romance and values dragon pride above all, you must have had a hard time.”

“Uh, no, no…” Lili stammered.

“If Letia bullies you, tell me, I will discipline her properly.”

“Ah!” Letia turned pale, “Lili, come with me for a moment!”

Letia grabbed Lili’s wrist and pulled her away before she could react, Karina cupped her face and laughed: “Are these two going to whisper secrets?” then busied herself playing with her granddaughter.

Letia led Lili through the cave passage to her room.

It wasn’t really a room, just a naturally flat space, Letia had converted it into her bedroom, with a hard single bed and a simple wardrobe, other necessities stored in a dimensional warehouse.

Letia cast soundproofing magic, then looked coldly at Lili.

“What are you doing!” Lili covered her chest, “Aunt is still here, if you dare touch me, I’ll scream!”

Letia ignored Lili and slowly closed in, Lili kept stepping back but soon found herself backed into a corner.

Letia suddenly advanced and slammed Lili against the wall, Lili curled up in Letia’s arms, teary-eyed as she looked at Letia’s face.

“I warn you! Don’t report this to Mother!” Letia hissed.

“Re-report?” Lili asked.

“Don’t forget, even if you tell Mother, after she returns to the Dragon God’s homeland, you’ll still end up under my hands, and I will make you experience humiliation like never before!”

“Never before…”

Lili’s heart pounded wildly, and she even felt a flicker of anticipation.

Soon she realized why she felt that way, but she refused to fall for Letia’s tricks and would not submit to Letia’s intimidation.

Lili shook her head, forcing herself to calm down.

“I’m not afraid of you, I’ve already suffered so many shameful things!”

[REDACTED: explicit descriptions of sexual abuse have been removed.]

She had been through too much, so she wouldn’t be scared.

If it came to that, she’d fight back, no matter how hard Letia tried, it would be in vain, and she would stand tall and say indifferently, “Is that all?”

That way, she could crush Letia’s dignity underfoot.

“Heh, seems you still don’t understand,” Letia said with interest, licking her lips as she leaned close to Lili’s ear, “if you dare to misbehave again, next time I will [REDACTED].”

“Ugh!” Lili shuddered, “Wh–what… no!—”

“Heh heh, seems effective!” Letia said.

“Why, why should you get away with it? I won’t let you do as you please, I’ll tell Aunt you bully me!” Lili cried.

“You can try,” Letia said, “after Mother leaves, we’ll see who suffers.”

“Umm… wah wah… bully…” Lili whimpered.
