Chapter 52

Twenty-eight Dragons (2)

Mister Long’s heart burned up; feeling her fingertips wipe away the juice on his lips and enjoying her meticulous care, he felt an unprecedented peace. He withdrew his divine consciousness and began to absorb the spiritual energy with peace of mind to treat the injuries in his body.

He wanted to hurry up and get better, and take her away from this place filled with hypocrisy and danger.

As to why Ao Qin did not kill him— one reason was on account of appearances, and the most important reason was because of the treasures in the dragons’ forbidden grounds.

The dragons have existed for millions of years, and the treasures in manor’s forbidden grounds are only the tip of the iceberg. In the past million years, fewer and fewer people have ascended, so the treasures left by the predecessors who had ascended appeared even more precious.

But these treasures were scattered in various forbidden grounds all over the place. Each periphery was sealed off with a Rank 8 magic enchantment, and the core area with the treasures was sealed off with a Rank 10 magic enchantment. A dragon of Rank 3 and above could enter the periphery of the forbidden grounds freely, but only the leader was qualified to open the core areas.

Although Ao Qin had already taken command of all the forces he had, he did not have his horn. A dragon who was not able to cut off the horn of the previous leader was not qualified to become the new leader.

If he died and no new leader was born, according to the previous agreement, all the forbidden grounds’ boundaries would be released. When that happened, the entire dragon race would lose its biggest treasure.

So, Mister Long knew he still had some time, but didn’t know how long that period would be.

While he had been seriously injured in the last great battle, those people were not left unscathed—the leader of the demons had been almost bitten in half by him and should be in seclusion now as well.

Mister Long hoped that the demon leader’s recovery would be slow, and then slow some more.

Because once Ao Qin reached an agreement with the demon clan and obtained his horn, hence gaining the recognition of the forbidden grounds, he would lose the last thing he could rely on.

His wife would also be implicated and die because she had married a disabled person like him.

He would never allow such a thing.

He had made a mistake and suffered a tragic defeat; even if he lost his life, he would not regret it.

But, the current her still didn’t know anything.

She didn’t know he was awake, didn’t know his dark and bloody past, didn’t know the heavy shackles he bore, and didn’t know how dangerous it was for her to have married him.

Mister Long suddenly squeezed his fingers tightly, his knuckles turning white.

How unlucky did she have to be to have met him?

And how cruel did he have to be, to think that her marrying him was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him in his life?

——Mu Wanwan knew nothing about the complicated feelings and guilt that was running through Mister Long.

After safely feeding the dragon, she touched his forehead again and found that it was not as hot as before. Only then did she relax, shivering from the cold.

The temperature today wasn’t high, the wind was very strong, and she had been drenched in the rain.  In addition to all that, because she was worried about Mister Long, she hadn’t taken a bath in time, and was now feeling so cold all over she was slightly shivery.

Moreover, she hadn’t eaten at noon, so she was now besieged by both cold and hunger.

Mu Wanwan rubbed her arms, took out her infinity pouch and stuffed it under the pillow, then took her clothes and went to the side hall under an umbrella.

She had to hurry and boil some hot water to take a bath, or she might catch a cold.

The kitchen and bathroom were separate; Mu Wanwan was a little regretful for being too stingy to buy a new umbrella. Her worn umbrella could shelter her from light and moderate rain, but it was not able to hold up against such a heavy rain like today.

By the time she returned to the room after heating the water and having a good bath, her newly changed clothes were half wet.

Mu Wanwan changed into another set. The sight of the dirty clothes in the basin made her feel a little vexed—with how heavy the rain was going, she didn’t know when it would stop, and her laundry probably wouldn’t dry at this rate. If it weren’t for the fact that she had bought quite a few sets of clothes this time, she was afraid there wouldn’t be enough to change into.

Thinking of the things she bought, Mu Wanwan became a little more energetic. She took out the infinity pouch she had placed under the pillow to take out each item one by one.
