“Miss Long Ling, you’ve been smiling at that wild shepherd’s purse for a while now. Is this one different from the others?”
Long Ling snapped back to reality and quickly hung the wild shepherd’s purse on the rope, her ears turning red.
Today, Long Ling asked Miss Evil Dragon if she liked her, and after kissing Miss Evil Dragon’s cheek, Miss Evil Dragon also kissed her back and patted her head.
She felt that the place she had been kissed was still warm, and her heart would throb whenever she thought about it.
She sat on the chair in the crystal kitchen, unable to stop reminiscing about every detail of Miss Evil Dragon approaching her, her mind feeling like it had exploded with fireworks.
She hurriedly said to Nora, “Nothing’s different. I was just thinking about something. You and Mina continue hanging them. Later, Nora, you can use magic to dry all these vegetables to make pickled vegetables.”
Nora saw that Miss Long Ling’s face was flushed, and her ice-blue eyes hid shyness.
The entire dragon looked like a sparkling blue gem in the sunlight.
The noble Duke possessed an Alpha with beauty like Miss Long Ling, so their days must be as sweet as honey.
Nora couldn’t help but tease, “Miss Long Ling, were you thinking about the Duke just now?”
Long Ling, having her thoughts guessed, her heart beat faster and faster, nodding slightly: “Yes, Nora, do you think if someone kisses you, it means they like you?”
Nora immediately felt like she was witnessing something sweet: “Of course it means they like you, Miss Long Ling. There shouldn’t be any dragon who doesn’t like you, right?”
Long Ling perked up, but was still a little unsure: “Then why doesn’t she always answer me directly when I ask her if she likes me?”
Nora, excitedly rubbing her small hands, said, “I’m just your maid, I don’t know if I should say it.”
Long Ling waved her hand: “Just say it. Only Mina and I are here. No one will leak it out.”
Mina, who was diligently drying shepherd’s purse on the rope, with her feet on the stool, suddenly heard Miss Long Ling call her name and quickly turned her head to ask: “Miss Long Ling, do you need me to do anything else?”
Long Ling quickly shook her head: “Nothing, Mina, you continue to work.”
Mina continued to dry the shepherd’s purse, and Nora then solemnly whispered, “The Duke probably likes you, but not as intensely.
After all, an Omega like the Duke is rich and powerful, and many Alphas would come running at her beck and call. It’s normal for her to be hard to get, you just have to take your time and you’ll definitely succeed.”
Long Ling then realized that she was being a little too hasty.
She had only been with Miss Evil Dragon for a few days, but she was already impatient to ask Miss Evil Dragon for a title.
She was a little embarrassed: “Let’s make pickled vegetables first. Did you prepare the jars I asked you to find?”
Nora brought over the prepared jars and said, “I couldn’t get any clay jars, are glass jars okay?”
Long Ling glanced at the glass jars and found that they had airtight lids, so they should be enough for making pickled vegetables.
“These will do. Let me see if I can fit all these vegetables into the jars.”
The fresh shepherd’s purse was washed clean, the roots were cut off, and it was hung on the ropes, slowly swaying in the gentle spring breeze, with strings of crystal clear water droplets dripping down.
Under the effect of magic, the ice-blue wind swirled around the shepherd’s purse, and the fresh and tender wild shepherd’s purse quickly drained.
The dried shepherd’s purse leaves were shriveled, which was just right for making pickles.
Long Ling couldn’t help but feel a little envious when she saw Nora using a wooden staff to cast magic.
If she could also learn advanced magic, would Miss Evil Dragon be willing to teach her?
Long Ling snapped back to reality, picked up the iron pot, first filled it with water, and boiled it to blanch the shepherd’s purse.
Renee had delivered the customized stove and newly built cabinets together in the morning.
At that time, Long Ling was still in bed with Miss Evil Dragon, so Nora asked the servants to help carry them into the kitchen.
After replacing the entire kitchen with new cabinets and countertops, it became more tidy and bright at once.
The shape of the stove was very cute, like a moss-covered log, with nine fire magic stones inside.
The flames emitted from the fire magic stones were clustered like ordinary flames, burning recklessly.
The wood on the side wall of the stove was burned red, but it never burned through the wood.
Long Ling touched the log stove with her hand and found that the stove felt icy to the touch, and was not affected by the flames.
She didn’t know what special material it was made of.
The iron pot was filled with water, and in less than five minutes after putting it on, it bubbled and steamed.
Long Ling followed the accompanying instructions and tried to press the mushroom on the side of the log, and the flame was quickly extinguished by itself.
This should be the device Renee said to cut off the magic, which was very easy to use.
She poured the boiled water into an iron basin.
After blanching the mustard greens until they were soft, about seven or eight minutes cooked, she put them into clean glass jars.
After each layer of vegetables was filled, she sprinkled a layer of fine salt, and after filling with layers of vegetable leaves, the sauerkraut jar was almost ready.
At this time, she could put a heavy object on top to make sauerkraut.
Long Ling looked at the fine salt in her hand, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
The level of this world was much higher than her original world.
This kind of beautiful salt was difficult for ordinary people to eat, and it was not bitter or astringent, and there was still magic power.
She really liked the world. Even the salt had magic power.
It was just that one glass jar couldn’t fit all of it, so Nora found five more glass jars, and she barely managed to fit all the shepherd’s purse into the jars.
Long Ling looked at the neatly arranged sauerkraut jars, her heart full of accomplishment.
These sauerkraut were to be used to participate in the upcoming Salmon Feast competition, and if she calculated the time, they should be fermented just before the Salmon Feast.
With the bonus from the competition, she could earn more gold coins, and then she could buy some rare medicinal herbs.
In addition to making some strawberry fruit wine for Miss Evil Dragon, she also wanted to look at the books in this world, learn the techniques of winemaking, and see if she could try to make some medicinal wine for Miss Evil Dragon to dredge the meridians, maybe it could make Miss Evil Dragon’s body heal faster.
Long Ling made up her mind, used a velvet cloth to wipe the water outside each of the sauerkraut jars, and placed them on the top of the cupboard.
She had just finished placing the last one when she suddenly heard an arrogant voice coming from behind her.
“Why are you cooking again? Are you an Alpha who only knows how to hang around the kitchen all day?”
Beverly stood at the entrance of the crystal kitchen, with a very disgusted expression.
Long Ling frowned: “What’s it to you? Beverly, why haven’t you left the estate yet? Didn’t Loraine take you away?”
Beverly played with the flintlock pistol in her hand, looking at Long Ling arrogantly: “I can go wherever I want, she can’t control me.
I’m the Queen’s only Alpha princess, so you should respectfully call me Princess when you mention my name.”
“Also, Loraine is my wife, and I’m warning you do not dote on her or have crush on her! “
Long Ling said in the same tone as her: “You also know that she is your sister. As a younger sister, you should respect your elders and listen to your sister, instead of interfering with your sister’s behaviour.
Besides, I am the Duke’s wife, and the person I love the most is the Duke. How could I like your sister?”
Beverly’s eyes widened, and she said angrily: “I’m an Alpha, and Alphas are naturally the most respected. They all say that if the laws hadn’t been changed, I would be the crown prince now. What is my sister?
She’s just an Omega. Omegas are naturally weaker than Alphas, and should obey Alpha management. It’s best not to covet anything. You should be respectful to me, too.”
Long Ling saw a figure flashing outside the crystal kitchen and asked, “Why?”
Beverly scoffed: “Why are there so many whys? Didn’t you hear what I said yesterday? You can never be with Violet.
Did you think you could climb the social ladder just by getting into her bed? An Alpha as weak and useless as you is really rare.”
Long Ling: “It’s a coincidence, this is also the first time I’ve seen an Alpha like you.”
Beverly proudly said: “It’s an honor for you to see a princess as excellent as me.”
Long Ling: “I’ve seen powerful people, but I haven’t seen someone as self-important as you. Your sister is elegant and dignified, a hundred times stronger than you.
Even if you are an Alpha, besides your identity as a princess, I haven’t seen anything excellent about you.”
Beverly, choked by her long list of words, became exasperated and raised her hand to slap Long Ling: “You strawberry Alpha, how dare you be disrespectful to me!”
Long Ling did not dodge, her ice-blue eyes quietly staring at her.
A strong look of panic flashed in Beverly’s heart, but she had always been arrogant, and her anger clouded her mind.
At the moment when her raised hand was about to fall, she suddenly felt magic binding her arm.
Under the influence of the powerful magic, Beverly’s arm twisted backwards at an incredible angle, her face pale, moaning in pain, immediately wanting to transform into a dragon to escape.
The next second, the green dragon was forced to fly into the sky, and two pale purple spells were like thick and fierce whips.
The green dragon was whipped and let out a miserable cry, circling in the air like a kite, but no one saved her.
Violet and Loraine had just arrived and heard Beverly spouting nonsense.
When she was about to attack Long Ling, Violet made a move, breaking Beverly’s evil arm, and Loraine used her staff to violently discipline her sister.
This time the beating was very fierce, a female on female mixed double hit, Beverly’s dragon skin and dragon tendons were about to be peeled off.
Loraine didn’t show any mercy.
She didn’t know that her always well-behaved sister had gone bad at some point.
She initially thought that Beverly was just spoiled, and that a rebellious child was just being arrogant, and she could tolerate it as her sister and take responsibility for her troubles.
She didn’t expect that even though they were about to leave, Beverly could still run down from the carriage and specifically provoke Long Ling, even saying the trash talk that Alphas should discipline Omegas.
Let alone that this beating was personally carried out by Violet, Loraine couldn’t bear it anymore, and specifically whipped the softest belly of the dragon.
The scales in that area were the thinnest, and the magic whip snapped fiercely in the air, and broken scales with blood fell from the green dragon’s body piece by piece.
Loraine had been headache by those Alphas who wanted to seize power, but she didn’t expect her innocent and lovely sister to actually be the same kind of person.
She was extremely disappointed, and her hand became more ruthless. Violet didn’t stop her.
The letter Violet wrote to the Queen was already on its way.
The evidence provided in that letter would get Beverly locked up in the royal city for a hundred years.
Violet looked at Long Ling with concern. Long Ling quickly walked to her side, took Violet’s hand, and said softly, “It’s a good thing you came.”
Long Ling was an S-class Alpha, and it wouldn’t be easy for A-class Beverly to attack her, but she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to act spoiled and ask Miss Evil Dragon for comfort.
Violet found that Long Ling wasn’t actually that weak either.
When facing Beverly, she thought the little dragon would be frightened and threatened by someone being bullied.
In fact, Long Ling could argue with reason and always remain in the upper hand, deeply recognizing the concept of AO equality.
She was a soft yet determined dragon.
She had just vaguely heard the little dragon say that the person she liked the most was her.
Violet could see the love in the young Alpha’s eyes, but this unexpected and definite love also made her heart flutter.
This little strawberry dragon always brought her different novelties.
Every side of her made her feel alive.
Violet gently patted Long Ling’s hand: “Don’t worry, I’m here, no dragon dares to bully you. I’ve already written to the Queen, and Beverly will be severely punished.”
Long Ling nodded, but in fact, just watching Beverly being whipped was already pretty satisfying.
