The Knife’s Already at My Throat

Long Ling’s butt was burning with pain.

Perhaps because her dragon body was strong, she was thick-skinned, and apart from the pain at that moment, her skin wasn’t even broken.

She remembered when she first entered the palace, she was only eight years old.

She accidentally violated a taboo and was dragged down by the managing to be beaten with a staff, and she lay in bed for a month.

The evil dragon miss had used less force when she hit her, otherwise she would have been beaten until her skin was torn and her flesh was ripped apart.

With the evil dragon miss’s methods, she could have easily killed her.

She had just explained that she had nothing to do with Ms. Mo Dai, but the evil dragon miss still hit her without explanation and now locked her in the secret room.

Even when judging criminals, they had to have conclusive evidence before imprisoning them, right?

How could she just throw her here without saying anything?

Didn’t she say that she didn’t care about her at all?

That she could leave whenever she wanted?

Then why did she always lock her up after saying harsh words?

How could she leave when she was locked up?

She didn’t know how to pick locks!

Violet only knew how to control her like this, not letting her participate in competitions or cook for others, but she was a little chef!

She only knew how to cook.

Only by working hard to become an imperial chef could she avoid being like a little palace maid, being cautious every day, and no one would dare to beat her at will.

She couldn’t use magic here, nor could she fly.

The only time she ran away, she got lost and almost died in this dangerous world.

She was eighteen years old.

In another ten years, according to the rules of the palace, when she was twenty-eight, she could leave the palace.

At that time, she could return to her hometown and live with her grandmother and sister.

But she suddenly transmigrated to this world and married a completely strange woman after only a month.

Long Ling felt very aggrieved in her heart and climbed up from the cold mountain of gold coins, but because her butt hurt too much, her walking posture was a little limping.

She struggled to climb up the stairs to the top of the secret room and wanted to push open the door, but she couldn’t push it open no matter what.

Pale purple light flashed frequently, and a magic pentagram appeared on the wall.

Long Ling transformed into a dragon and used her hard dragon horns to hit the wall, trying to smash through it.

She slammed it hard many times, but the wall remained motionless.

She felt a little dizzy.

The magic she had learned recently was all simple magic, and she couldn’t break through the high-level magic circle at all.

Long Ling also used her sharp dragon claws to scratch the wall many times, making a series of crackling sounds, like a cluster of small fireworks.

Long Ling flapped her dragon wings and used the hurricane she spat out to roll up a large pile of gold coins.

With a crash, clang, clang, the gold coins smashed the wall with a loud bang.

One large gold coin after another smashed over, as dense as drum beats, smashing deep pits in the wall, and then rolling to the ground.

She struggled for a while and couldn’t struggle anymore.

Her butt still hurt, so she dug a hole in the mountain of gold coins and buried herself in it to rest for a while.

She had never seen so much money before.

Now, using gold coins as weapons, she had a feeling of squandering money like dirt.

Long Ling used her dragon claws to pull over a pile and put it under her head.

It would be great if she had a big package.

She would take all the evil dragon miss’s gold coins and see if she dared to lock her up again!

Through the wall, Violet sat in a wheelchair, listening to the banging sounds coming from the secret room.

She knew that the little dragon was expressing her protest and would cry aggrievedly.

She would never easily forgive Long Ling for daring to betray her and get entangled with other Omegas.

She would let Long Ling know the consequences of angering her!

There was a crystal ball in the secret room, and Violet could observe everything Long Ling did in the secret room at any time.

She picked up the crystal ball and saw a silver-white giant dragon curled up in a pile of gold coins, its dragon wings weakly and softly retracted, and its dragon head hanging on the pile of gold coins.

When she was dating other Omegas, why didn’t she think that she would be discovered one day?

This was all the little dragon’s own fault and unforgivable!

Violet’s fingers tapped on the back of the chair, quietly watching Long Ling’s every move.

From sunset to late at night, Violet watched Long Ling lying on the pile of gold coins, tossing and turning, and finally falling asleep.

Violet’s fingers rotated the ruby on her fingertip back and forth, and the frequency unconsciously accelerated a lot.

Until the little dragon in the pile of gold coins moved, the ruby that Violet was turning in her hand stopped.

Long Ling drooped her head, holding a large pile of gold coins, her eyes red and swollen, looking blank and pitiful.

Violet suddenly clenched her fingertips.

Did the little dragon know she was wrong?

Would she cry and say that she would never dare to anger her again?

She would not forgive any dragon who betrayed her.

Even if Long Ling knelt in front of her and kissed her instep, she would only tell Long Ling to get as far away as possible.

The gloom in Violet’s heart did not lessen, and her lonely eyes looked at her disabled dragon tail.

Her legs had improved a little under Long Ling’s unremitting massage, but she still couldn’t stand up.

During the many days she had been with Long Ling, she had also fantasized that if her legs ever became normal, her dragon tail could entwine with Long Ling’s, but she knew that even if her legs recovered, they would not be the same as a normal dragon.

It had been too long since she could walk normally.

Her eyes could not tolerate sand.

She pretended to like her very much, but she actually liked the kind of dragon with a healthy dragon tail more.

She was meeting with other Omegas behind her back.

Violet’s mood was low for a while, and when she looked at the crystal ball again, she found that the little dragon in the picture was gone!

Violet clenched the crystal ball, and the picture went black.

Dark golden eyes flashed with anxiety until she saw that moment, and the tight string in her heart relaxed.

Long Ling had no idea that she was being monitored by Violet.

She searched around the secret room and found a hidden door.

She smashed the iron lock, the door opened, and Long Ling鑽[2] went in.

Her dragon body was still stuck on the door frame for a while.

She transformed back into human form.

Long Ling thought she had finally escaped successfully and let out a long breath.

When she went in, she saw the light and宝石[3], and she realized that she had entered another hidden room.

Long Ling groped around a few times and found that she couldn’t escape, so she simply wandered around the vault.

These gems that could still shine in the darkness, Long Ling had only seen from afar before.

They were treasures贡[4] to His Majesty from the Western Regions.

Only the most favored concubines could obtain a gem, which was inlaid by skillful craftsmen on a gold hairpin made of gold.

Every time the favored concubine sat on the high wearing a hairpin, the bright golden sunlight would shine on the gem, and the phoenix wings would tremble slightly.

She had never seen such dazzling jewelry.

It must be very valuable.

One gem from a favored concubine could buy many, many lives of people with her low status.

If she had a gem, she wouldn’t have entered the palace and become a little palace maid who was bullied.

If she looked at it more, she would be glared at by the palace maids around the favoured concubine, as if they wanted to dig out her eyeballs immediately.

But the gem on the hairpin of that favoured concubine was not even a grain of rice in the evil dragon miss’s current treasure room.

The gems owned by the evil dragon miss were more luxurious and larger.

She could not only look at them more, but also touch them.

Long Ling held the big gems in both hands and rubbed her cheeks against the gems.

Even the emperor had never seen such beautiful gems, right?

She was now enjoying emperor-like treatment.

Long Ling kissed them to her heart’s content.

After kissing the super-large rubies, she went to hug the emeralds, treating each gem equally.

If she didn’t hug them now, she might not be able to hug them in the future.

She was going out to make a living on her own, and she didn’t know what the days outside were like.

Even if she couldn’t make a living, if she could cook, any restaurant would recruit a chef, right?

She had also learned some Western dishes during this time.

While Long Ling was admiring the gems, Mo Dai had already taken a carriage and arrived at the Arnold family, confronting the current old Clan Head.

The architectural style of the Arnold family’s manor was Chinese-style, with a quaint mansion.

In front of the gate were lotus bowls and red Koi carp.

It was usually quiet, except for the day when creditors came to the door.

Today was the first time it was so lively.

All the dragons were secretly listening to the fierce arguments inside.

“I gave you so many gold coins to take good care of my daughter, but you actually married my daughter to a disabled Omega dragon to pay off debts.

Are you worthy of being Long Ling’s grandmother?”

Mo Dai couldn’t wait to overturn the old Clan Head’s table.

The pen holder and paperweight on the desk were shaking from her patting.

The old Clan Head was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, like a quiet and wealthy old lady.

There were some wrinkles on her cheeks, and you could vaguely see her beauty when she was young.

At that moment, facing Mo Dai’s pressure, a hint of coldness flashed in her old dragon eyes, and she carefully discussed with Mo Dai.

“If you hadn’t eloped back then and angered the tyrannical and easily angered Queen, most of our family’s industries would have had to be compensated to the royal family overnight to avoid being driven out of the country by the Queen.

We moved here for so long and finally gained a foothold.

We were counting on you to marry the previous Queen, but you left a large family behind and eloped!”

“As for Long Ling, don’t you know what kind of dragon egg you gave birth to with an elf?

This child hatched 150 years later than other dragons, her magical talent is terrible, she’s afraid of heights when flying, and she’s been weak since she was a child.

She’s just beautiful.

Being able to marry Baron Violet is like burning high incense.

She’ll be a Baroness smoothly in the future, rich and noble for the rest of her life, which is much better than following you, a mother who is always hiding!”

When the old Clan Head mentioned the elopement, an unpleasant look flashed across Mo Dai’s face,

“You just like to climb high branches and use marriage as a bargaining chip to consolidate your interests, just like when you arranged for me to marry that Queen.

I’m Long Ling’s mother, and she should have notified me when she got married!”

“The creditors were already knocking on the door, and we couldn’t wait any longer.

They wanted to strip my old bones!”

The old Clan Head took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “I’m really guilty.

I met a group of dragons like you, some who squandered money and some who eloped, and you all left the mess to me.

I have to clean up for you, and I don’t even have a guarantee in my old age.

I have to take out my coffin money to pay off debts.”

The old Clan Head’s tears wet her handkerchief, “I didn’t embezzle any of the money you gave me.

I used it all on your child.

I don’t know how many medicinal materials I put in the dragon pool to hatch Long Ling.

It hasn’t been easy for me all these years.

Dragon cubs are hard to hatch.

She’s just come of age and has to be sent out.

Doesn’t her grandmother’s heart ache?”

Mo Dai looked at the old Clan Head coldly.

When she wanted to elope, the old Clan Head also cried in front of her like this, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, begging her to marry the Queen, otherwise she would hit her head on the pillar and die.

She hadn’t died for so many years and was still living well.

Mo Dai said coldly, “You know that Violet is a disabled Omega dragon.

Outside, they say she’s cold-blooded and tyrannical, and she’s even in a city.

There aren’t many normal dragons in the Fuges family.

You just want to push Long Ling into a pit of fire!”

The old Clan Head put down her handkerchief, and her wrinkled eyes widened, “I’ve already asked people to inquire.

Baron Violet is beautiful and still has real power.

Even the Queen can’t shake her position.

Even if the fact that Long Ling is your daughter is revealed, she can protect Long Ling.

If her dragon legs hadn’t been injured and disabled, it wouldn’t have been Long Ling’s turn.

This good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern.”

Mo Dai, “You only know about power, and your mind is full of personal interests

You don’t care about your child’s happiness at all!”

The old Clan Head retorted, “Her Grace Baron Violet not only has power, but also military talent.

Her territory is well-governed, and all races can live and work in peace in her territory.

The area she governs is the richest city on the continent of Odd.

If our family didn’t have money, I would have wanted to move there.

When Her Grace recovers in the future, Long Ling may not be able to get close to her.”

“Besides, I asked Long Ling, and she agreed to marry.

No dragon forced her.

Besides, getting married doesn’t mean you can’t divorce.

They’re not married yet.

They’re just living together for a while to see if they’re suitable.

If they’re not suitable, Baron Violet wouldn’t raise a little dragon she doesn’t like.

We’re also working hard to make money.

We can just redeem her when the time comes.

Why are you so anxious with me here!”

Mo Dai couldn’t hide her sad emotions, and her tone was urgent and angry,

“She locked my daughter up and wouldn’t let her go out, raising her in the manor like a little pet.

Ellena told me that Long Ling had to be escorted back by the army just to get some fresh air.

How can she have a good life there!”

Thinking of her daughter who was still suffering, Mo Dai was tormented in her heart.

If it hadn’t been for that Queen back then, who sent people everywhere to search for her, and the dragon egg couldn’t hatch in the Elven race, she would have had to send it back to the family.

She wouldn’t have had to be separated from her own flesh and blood.

She had finally waited for the previous Queen to die of illness and the new Queen to take the throne.

She was planning to take her daughter back to the Elven race and find medicinal materials for Long Ling with Long Ling’s elven mother, but she didn’t expect that an accident would happen in such a short time.

The old Clan Head didn’t care much, “It’s no big deal to be locked in the manor.

After Long Ling married, she didn’t write to me saying that she wasn’t doing well.

I watched her grow up.

She has a gentle temper and is also honest.

She hasn’t caused any trouble since she was a child.

No matter what, Long Ling is an Alpha, and Baron Violet is an Omega.

She won’t do anything to her.”

Mo Dai said with a cold face, “No matter what you say, I want my daughter back by my side now!”

The old Clan Head spread her hands, “Then return all the former industries.

If you hadn’t eloped, the family wouldn’t have declined.

If you can return them all, let alone one Long Ling, we can buy three Long Lings.”

Mo Dai had earned a lot of money in the Elven race these years, and she spoke with confidence, “I’ll return them!

But all the returned industries must be in my child’s name.

You have to come forward immediately and find a way to bring Long Ling back from the manor!”

The old Clan Head glanced at her and nodded in agreement, “Okay, I’ll bring Long Ling back.

You can take good care of your own child in the future.”

Baron Violet and Long Ling had been together for half a year, so they shouldn’t have much.

Although the old Clan Head was reluctant to see such a good marriage break up, Long Ling’s mother was about to put a knife to her neck, so she had to be the evil dragon.

She didn’t know if Baron Violet would be willing to release the dragon.

She had offended the previous Queen before, and the days had just calmed down a bit, but now she was going to offend the Baron again.

How would their family live in the future?
