You have come to this day!

Lili knew in her heart that once Karina left the cave, Letia would pounce on her like a tiger, training her mercilessly.

So far, Lili had only done two things: massaging shoulders and preparing juice.

For just these two things, to be trained by Letia—didn’t that seem unfair?

Lili secretly glanced at Letia’s profile. Letia’s face was full of teasing expressions. It seemed she had already decided how to train Lili.

Lili couldn’t help but shiver with her arms crossed.

Begging for mercy was impossible. Could Letia show her mercy? Letia would probably go even further and say: “Hehe, surrender? Remember the feeling of humiliation!”

Before Karina left, Lili had to severely trample Letia’s dignity!

That way, even being trained would be worth it!

Of course, going too far was not an option. If Karina thought she was a spoiled, unruly bride, it would be all over. The only pillar of support she had would leave her.

It had to be something that humiliated Letia while satisfying Karina.

So, what could she do?

Lili’s big eyes spun around, then she thought of a good plan.

Since Letia didn’t want to be affectionate, she would force her to be!

Of course, Lili didn’t want to be affectionate either, but she could endure it. It was a “harm oneself to hurt the enemy” strategy, but Letia would suffer more than her!

“Letia sister,” Lili said shyly, “can you feed me some cake?”

“What…” Letia looked at her in shock.

“I want Mother to see how affectionate we really are!”

“Hehe,” Karina laughed. “I’d like to see how affectionate you two are too!”

“B-But…”

“Hurry up,” Karina pressured with her eyes. “Letia, do you think loving someone is shameful?”

“That’s not what I mean…”

“Then hurry, prove how much you love her!”

Letia clenched her fists, wishing she could smash the stone table, but she couldn’t be reckless in front of her mother. She decided in her heart that once Karina left, she would repay Lili a hundredfold, making her feel embarrassment and shame, wishing she had never been born.

So, Letia began feeding Lili cake.

Lili felt uncomfortable, but seeing Letia holding back her anger made her laugh and feel refreshed.

Hehe, today is your turn. Serve me fully!

“Letia sister, can you give me a kiss?”

“What!…”

“On the cheek… I want to prove to Mother how affectionate we are!”

“You!—”

“Oh, I’m interested too,” Karina said with a smile. “Letia, you know what to do, right?”

“Ugh!—Alright, I’ll kiss her!”

From the outside, these were just acts of showing affection, but Letia trembled with anger. Lili was also awkward, but a little better than Letia.

After two hours of painful endurance, Letia finally came to terms.

Even with intimate gestures, her heart remained calm.

Lili thought she had gone a bit too far, not out of pity for Letia, but because once Karina left, she would be in trouble!

Better to do some remedial measures and try to regain some advantage.

“Letia sister, let me massage your shoulders…”

“Oh, at this time, I should probably go?”

“Eh?” Lili looked at Karina in surprise. “S-So early?”

“It’s already five in the afternoon. I have to quickly return to the Dragon God’s homeland to oversee matters,” Karina replied. “Also, you two should prepare. Soon I’ll take you to Granny Monet for a love divination. This is a tradition in dragon clan weddings.”

“D-Divination for love?” Lili felt uneasy.

“Granny Monet’s divination is very accurate. She can see your future, judge your emotional ups and downs, and determine if you’re compatible.”

“E-Emotional ups and downs…”

Oh no. If this divination is that powerful, the truth about Lili and Letia’s discord could be exposed in an instant!

No matter how much she planned, she hadn’t considered that dragons had skilled diviners!

Hearing that Karina was leaving, Letia immediately perked up, her face full of unrestrained laughter. She glared at Lili, making her pale.

Perhaps due to the physical training memories, Lili even had a physiological reaction.

“Has Mother finally remembered the important matters?”

“I’ve always prioritized business,” Karina said.

“Shall we see Mother off, hmm? Lili?”

“O-Okay…”

Lili dared not resist and followed Letia to escort Karina out of the cave.

Outside, dusk had already fallen. Golden sunlight bathed the flowerbeds, and the gentle breeze carried bursts of fragrance. The scene was poetic, deeply captivating Lili.

“Alright, I’ll leave you here?” Karina said. “I need to hurry back. Otherwise, the elders of the fox clan proposing will get impatient.”

“Mother hasn’t agreed to their proposal?”

“Impossible to agree casually. I haven’t even asked your opinion yet.”

“I thought Mother had decided on her own…”

“Don’t think of me as unreasonable. I’m just eager to see my granddaughter.”

Karina picked up her granddaughter, reluctantly saying goodbye.

“Grandma will return to the homeland and pick you up in a few days, okay?”

“Mm, goodbye Grandma!—”

“Haha, so obedient!”

Parting ways, Karina put Amy down, glanced back at Letia and Lili with a warm motherly smile full of expectation.

Letia returned a smile, while Lili silently waved goodbye to Karina.

Karina closed her eyes to cast a spell and then soared into the sky. She left a faint smile behind before vanishing like a shooting star. The wind blew Lili’s skirt; she stared in surprise, thinking it was faster than an airplane.

As Lili daydreamed, a dark aura emerged beside her.

Lili shivered, her hairs standing on end. She trembled as she looked at Letia, who approached with a faint teasing smile.

“Lili, ready to be trained by me?”

“Ugh!” Lili stepped back repeatedly. “D-Don’t do anything reckless!”

“You trampled my dignity, made me serve you, and forced me to be affectionate! You should have imagined it—once Mother leaves, I’ll repay you a hundredfold!” Letia closed in.

“Th-That doesn’t matter!—You did worse to me!”

“I thought you would beg, but you’re stubborn?”

“I am stubborn! I warn you, don’t act recklessly in front of my daughter!”

Hearing this, Letia’s expression softened. She instinctively glanced back and saw Amy standing among the flowers, staring at her in confusion.

Letia gasped, nearly pushing Lili over by mistake!

Training Lili in front of her daughter—wouldn’t that be bad for her moral education?

“Mommy Letia,” Amy pouted, “are you bullying Mommy Lili?”

“J-Just playing,” Letia smiled. “Amy, shall Mommy Letia take you back to the cave?”

Amy still didn’t believe it and looked curiously at Lili.

If Lili had said, “Mommy Letia is bullying me, let’s resist her together,” Amy would side with Lili. Letia’s pride would take a severe hit, and she might even forget the training entirely.

But Lili didn’t want to do that.

Their quarrels didn’t need to involve her daughter.

“Mommy Letia is just playing with me. Amy, be good and go back to the cave, okay?”

“Mm, alright!—”

Letia looked at Lili in surprise, a look of respect in her eyes.

But the expression quickly faded, replaced again with her teasing smile.

Letia escorted Amy back to the cave. Lili watched Letia’s back until she disappeared inside, then put on a serious expression.

“Good, time to run!”

Not really running away—just hiding in the forest for one night. Once Letia cooled off, she could return. Training was unavoidable, but at least it would be slightly better.

So, taking advantage of Letia not returning yet, Lili quietly slipped away.
