She broke down

Violet stared at the elderly clan leader’s aged face, then glanced at Mo Dai, understanding Long Ling’s unusual behavior these past few days.

So, she had contacted her clan and was eagerly trying to escape her side.

Her expression darkened: “Your clan was in dire straits and eagerly signed an agreement with me.

Now that you have money, you want to redeem Long Ling and tear up the agreement.

Do you think I don’t have the right to detain you in Gris Harbor?”

Under Violet’s questioning, the elderly clan leader broke out in a cold sweat.

In truth, they were in the wrong for wanting to take Long Ling away before the agreed-upon end date.

Violet’s words carried weight, and dragon guards in iron armor emerged from the shadows, longswords at their waists, exuding a menacing aura.

Mo Dai had avoided the dragon royal family’s pursuit for years and developed business networks everywhere.

She was much bolder than her mother and wouldn’t be easily intimidated.

Did Violet really think the royal family could do whatever they wanted?

Mo Dai didn’t back down, her eyes meeting Violet’s: “Duchess Violet, since you have no intention of marrying Long Ling, I will take her away.

We won’t bother you in the future.

I can repay the money in full.

Terminating the contract early doesn’t violate the terms, and both sides will have better prospects.”

“I am Long Ling’s family.

Are you going to detain me?

If Long Ling knows her grandmother and mother are suffering in prison because of her, won’t her heart be tormented?

Or do you think detaining us will keep Long Ling?”

As a woman, Mo Dai could see that Violet didn’t want to let Long Ling go, but she wouldn’t agree to her daughter being kept like a pet.

Even if she was a duchess and couldn’t give her daughter happiness, she, as a mother, wouldn’t agree to them being together.

Violet’s face turned unpleasant.

She had no intention of marrying Long Ling right now.

Her legs were disabled.

Was she supposed to wear a wedding dress and get married in a wheelchair?

Or let everyone in Audria know that Violet’s legs were disabled and she could only find an Alpha to marry and produce dragon eggs?

After so many years, her achievements and battle honors as an Omega would vanish like smoke.

Violet’s eyes were clouded: “The agreement hasn’t expired, not even a year has passed.

I won’t agree to you taking her away.

I don’t lack that money.

If you want to visit Long Ling, you are welcome anytime, but wanting to take her away is out of the question.”

Violet’s tone was too harsh.

The dragon guards behind her gripped their swords, ready to carry out her orders at any moment.

Mo Dai had experienced this domineering royal family behavior more than once.

After so many years, her daughter was still being bullied by the royal family.

Mo Dai couldn’t swallow her anger: “The agreement must be terminated early.

I wasn’t there when you signed the agreement.

Long Ling is my daughter, and as a mother, I have the right to decide her marriage.

I brought elves here today.

If you want to fight, then try it and see if your sword is faster or the elves’ arrows are more accurate!”

The situation became tense.

Seeing that the situation couldn’t be mediated, the elderly clan leader knew that if she offended Duchess Violet, their clan wouldn’t have a good life in the future.

Young dragons were prone to fiery tempers.

Mo Dai was almost two thousand years old, yet she was still like a firecracker ready to explode.

Even having a gentle elf wife couldn’t change her temper.

Besides mutual destruction, what good would come of it?

Duchess Violet was unwilling to let Long Ling go.

They were unfamiliar with the estate.

How would they find where Long Ling was hidden?

Shouldn’t they focus on seeing the child first?

The elderly clan leader tugged at Mo Dai’s hand and winked, telling Mo Dai not to rush and said to Violet, “We can’t come to an agreement by discussing it like this.

Why don’t you let Long Ling come out first and ask her what she wants?

We also want to meet the child.

Her grandmother and mother have missed her these days.

What do you think, Duchess?”

Violet had no reason to prevent Long Ling from meeting her family.

Moreover, she had wrongly accused Long Ling.

Now that she knew that was Long Ling’s mother and not a young Omega dragon Long Ling was meeting in secret, Violet felt a pang of guilt.

She had unfairly confined Long Ling for so long.

No wonder Long Ling had stubbornly refused to admit her mistake this time.

She had already confined her, so what else could she do?

She would let the matter go.

As long as the little dragon hadn’t betrayed her, she would release Long Ling from the secret chamber later.

Thinking of Long Ling, Violet’s tone softened: “Alright, I’ll bring her over.”

Mo Dai and the elderly clan leader both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Violet wasn’t so cold-hearted that she wouldn’t even allow them to meet.

Violet left Mo Dai and the elderly clan leader in the living room and returned to her bedroom, opening the door to the secret chamber.

She had confined the little dragon for several days and felt a pang of guilt.

In an instant, the dark clouds that had shrouded her heart dissipated, rippling with emotion.

Even if she confined her, it wouldn’t matter, as long as the Little Strawberry Dragon was by her side, she wouldn’t easily let her go.

“Go take a bath, .

Such a gentle tone, it made Long Ling think she was imagining things.

Why would she suddenly agree to let her out?

Could it be that Ms. Mo Dai had arrived?

When the door to the secret chamber opened, Long Ling walked up the steps.

When she suddenly saw the bright sunlight, her mood instantly brightened.

Finally, she didn’t have to be confined in the dark little room.

Even living in a pile of gold coins wasn’t good.

She still liked the feeling of the sun shining on her body.

Long Ling went to the bathroom to take a bath, washing herself clean.

Thinking that she wouldn’t have to be confined in the small dark room anymore, she bathed much faster than usual.

Violet sat at the door waiting for Long Ling.

Perhaps because she had confined Long Ling for too long this time, she suddenly worried that Long Ling would resent her in her heart after knowing that she had wrongly accused her.

She had only confined Long Ling and spanked her butt, not done anything to her.

Besides, the look in Long Ling’s eyes was still bright, so she would treat her well like before.

After all, Long Ling was just a newly adult dragon in her eyes, occasionally throwing a tantrum and wanting to run away, but as long as she coaxed her, it would be fine.

Violet’s heart settled down.

She was always confident that everything about the little dragon was completely under her control.

Long Ling changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, her hair still wet, looking as fresh and beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from water.

Seeing Violet waiting for her at the door, she was quite flattered.

Violet wasn’t as fierce as before.

The way she looked at her was very gentle, and a warm atmosphere lingered between them, as harmonious as when they had been together before.

But Long Ling knew that the evil dragon could easily turn ruthless.

Even though she had begged her to let her out and said that she had not made a mistake, the evil dragon had not listened to her explanation at all.

If the evil dragon wanted to punish her, she only needed to move her finger.

Long Ling cautiously asked, “Did Ms. Mo Dai and my grandmother come?”

Violet’s good mood vanished instantly.

In her eyes, it only confirmed that the little dragon was eager to leave her.

Violet suppressed the resentment in her heart: “Your grandmother told me that she wants to terminate the agreement and take you back to the clan.”

A flash of joy crossed Long Ling’s eyes.

So her grandmother had really come.

She looked at Violet’s dark golden eyes, unable to see any emotion.

Long Ling instinctively sensed danger and said softly, “I haven’t seen my grandmother in a long time.

I want to talk to her first.”

Seeing that she didn’t immediately want to leave, Violet said gently, “Let’s go over there first.

I’ll dry your hair for you.

It’s still dripping.”

Long Ling walked to her side, and Violet used magic to dry her hair for her.

Long Ling was very beautiful.

After all, she was born from the combination of an elf and a dragon.

After her silver-white hair was dried, it fell like a waterfall to her waist, and her facial features were delicate and dazzling.

After drying her hair, Violet gently stroked her cheek.

Her usually proud eyes softened, but Long Ling grasped her fingers, not letting her continue to caress her.

Violet had put her in the water and rinsed her back and forth many times.

She was soaking wet, but Violet had confined her in the secret chamber.

If not for the dragon’s strong body and a blanket, she would have fallen ill and been bedridden.

It was too late for the bad woman to think of pitying her now, wasn’t it?

Long Ling said softly, “I miss my grandmother.”

Violet couldn’t help but feel jealous.

She hadn’t heard Long Ling say she missed her once in all these days.

They went to the living room together.

The moment Long Ling saw the elderly clan leader, the elderly clan leader immediately called out “Xiao Ling” and hugged Long Ling tightly.

The kind-faced old woman looked at her with love: “My good granddaughter, you’ve been gone for so long and didn’t even write a letter to your grandmother.

I missed you so much.”

Long Ling’s head was rubbed by the elderly clan leader’s rough hands.

Having not experienced the care of an elder for so long, her eyes couldn’t help but moisten.

She had a grandmother in her previous world, and her grandmother loved her very much, but people in that world didn’t hug so affectionately.

Her grandmother wouldn’t hold her in her arms and say she was her good granddaughter.

But this world’s grandmother was different.

Not only did she have a kind face, but she was also very gentle, often giving her pocket money and teaching her many things.

When she was going to marry Violet, her grandmother was afraid that she wouldn’t have enough living expenses and secretly stuffed envelopes into her luggage.

Although the tavern her grandmother gave her was dilapidated and took a long time to repair, her grandmother also gave her five hundred silver coins.

She knew her grandmother owed the creditor a lot of money, and what she could give her was what she had managed to save with great difficulty, so she would never let her grandmother go to jail.

She was still young, and even if she married a completely strange woman, as long as she could get through a year, it would be fine.

No matter how hard it was, she would choose to endure it.

But when she was held in her grandmother’s arms like this, Long Ling’s voice was full of grievance: “Grandmother, I missed you too.”

Only in the arms of her elders could she completely be a child.

Hearing the grievance in the little dragon’s voice, the elderly clan leader hugged Long Ling tightly, knowing that the child had not had an easy time these past few days.

Her cloudy eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and she lowered her voice, saying with tenderness, “Grandmother has money now.

Your mother gave grandmother a lot of money.

Our Xiao Ling won’t have to suffer anymore.”

Long Ling’s tears were about to burst, and she couldn’t help but rub against the elderly clan leader’s embrace.

The two granddaughters cried together for a long time.

Mo Dai watched Long Ling being held by the elderly clan leader, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She knew that her daughter must have suffered.

Violet looked at the little dragon crying in the elderly clan leader’s arms and couldn’t help but frown.

After Long Ling finished crying out her grievances, she thought of what the elderly clan leader had said about her mother and was a little confused: “Mother?”

The elderly clan leader pulled Mo Dai to her side and introduced her to Long Ling: “This is your mother, Long Mo Dai.

Grandmother was afraid that other little dragons would bully you, so she didn’t tell you about your mother.

It’s not that your mother didn’t want you these past few years, but she had no choice.

She would secretly come to see you every year when you were still a dragon egg.”

Mo Dai looked at Long Ling gently, trying to radiate maternal love.

All of Long Ling’s doubts were resolved.

She thought there could be nobody so kind, who tirelessly run around for her and gave her a very familiar feeling, turns out, this was her mom.

However, she isn’t the original Little Dragon.

Before her transmigration, the body’s original Little Dragon was timid, weak mentally, and slow to react.

Other dragonkin would just write her off as an idiot.

She didn’t know how, after crossing over, the spiritualities of her and the body’s Little Dragon combined, gradually creating a complete individual.

Sometimes, she’d think that she may have originally been from this world, just that her soul had wandered off to another.

It was only upon her adulthood that she had returned.

The fused soul had little memory of her mother, but plenty with Grandma.

The talkative old lady would always come bearing delicious food, making sure the warm pool water was just right so the dragon egg wouldn’t get cold, and the baby dragon could eat her fill.

During the warmer months, the dragon egg would be carried by the pool to sunbathe with other dragon eggs.

If any mischievous little dragons were to bully the unhatched dragon egg, the grandma would chase those troublemakers away, leaning on her cane.

Through the thick egg shell, the Grandma’s rough hands would repeatedly caress the Little Dragon’s head.

The dragon egg would sometimes try to sneak out of the Dragon Pool with her grandma, but when the feeble grandma would find her, the old lady would pick up the egg and place it back in the pool, muttering things the dragon egg wouldn’t understand.

Under the Grandma’s encouragement, Long Ling was still hesitating to call her ‘Mom’ when Mo Dai had already enveloped her, saying with tenderness and conviction, “Mom is back.

From now on, baby, you will no longer suffer.

Mom will definitely take you away today, and we’ll never be separated again.”

Long Ling stiffened for a moment.

She wasn’t too familiar with her new mom.

Actually, the dragon she’d spent the most time with in this world was Violet.

While the outside world may be interesting, Long Ling was still afraid of going to some strange place with her newly-found mother.

She somewhat missed the sense of security Violet gave her.

Being by her side meant she didn’t need to worry about anything.

Mo Dai turned to Violet, “Duchess, you’ve seen it yourself.

Long Ling wants to be with her family, and you don’t seem too happy about the current relationship, so let’s dissolve the agreement, and I’ll take Long Ling immediately.”

The Elder Clan Leader added, “Long Ling, do you want to stay by Duchess Violet’s side, or leave with your grandma?”

Violet stared into Long Ling’s eyes.

She refused to believe that Long Ling wanted to leave her.

Long Ling had promised her that she’d always be with her, and that they’d get married and have dragon eggs together.

Long Ling felt as if she was walking on the edge of a cliff.

She had to make a decision.

She looked at Violet, then at her mom, Mo Dai.

If she stayed, Violet could confine her whenever she wanted, preventing her from going anywhere and controlling every aspect of her life.

If she left with Mom Mo Dai, Mom would give her rare herbs that could help Violet’s leg injury.

She didn’t want to be one of the many Alpha choices for Violet, never getting the recognition she deserves.

Long Ling mustered her courage, “I want to leave with Grandma.”

So all along, she had planned to leave.

She hadn’t wronged Long Ling at all.

Violet’s ruby lips curled coldly.

“Whatever.

I’ve been sick of the Strawberry Milk Dragon anyway.”

Long Ling knew that Violet had never liked the Strawberry Milk Dragon.

She had hoped that if she continued to serve and please Violet, she could change everything, but she hadn’t expected that Violet had long tired of her.

What’s wrong with a strawberry-scented dragon, anyway?

She couldn’t change her pheromones.

She’d even tried using soaps of different scents!

Long Ling remained silent, just stared at Violet as tears streamed down her face.

Violet’s fingers clenched, and even if she wanted to grab Long Ling’s hand, preventing her from leaving, her pride wouldn’t allow her.

Mo Dai and the Clan Elder were confused.

They had negotiated for so long, and Violet had been so unwilling to let go, but suddenly, she’d released her.

Wasting no time, Mo Dai placed the cancellation document in between Violet and Long Ling.

“Just sign this, and you’re done.”

With the signed agreement, even if Violet were to go back on her word, they could sue her before the Queen.
