Volume 1 Chapter 99

Volume 1 + Chapter 99: The Humiliated Black Dragon

After walking for about another ten minutes, accompanied by an increasingly strong stench of blood, Eve had already arrived near a mountain forest.

Scattered around were specks of dragon blood. It was obvious someone had carefully cleaned it up, but their technique was clumsy, leaving many details unnoticed.

Clearly, for an injured dragon, leaving so many signs of weakness was extremely dangerous.

Eve sighed. After all, this was trouble caused by her own daughter, so she should take the initiative to deal with the aftermath.

“I can only hope that guy isn’t too badly hurt.”

Eve snapped her fingers casually. The originally clear night sky instantly became overcast.

Within just a few minutes, a torrential downpour fell, easily erasing all traces around, including the thick, pungent blood smell unique to dragons.

Then Eve quickly descended to a relatively hidden cave. This cave looked like it was tucked deep in the mountains, but inside it held another world.

Squeezing through the narrow passage, only a few steps in, one could already see signs of life.

Though called a cave, it actually extended all the way to the other side of the mountain. There, the mountains surrounded a place rarely visited by humans, with a huge pond in the middle, the source of countless rivers.

The other side of the mountain offered a perfect vantage point to overlook this magnificent scenery.

This was where the big black dragon usually lived—hidden and peaceful.

The only downside was that the big black dragon had to live in human form, after all, in accordance with XP’s settings…

No, rather, because the human body is smaller, hands are more dexterous, and it fits the aesthetic of dragons.

Living in such a beautiful and quiet environment at the cost of simply becoming a long-haired, cold-faced, strict beauty, the big black dragon felt she had no complaints.

Because the big black dragon had a strange temper, Eve deliberately concealed her presence, thinking she would first observe the dragon’s mood a little.

Before entering the deepest part of the cave, Eve heard soft sobbing, pitiful and touching, making her heart ache slightly.

Eve slowed her steps and followed the sound. Deep in the spacious, bright cave with a lake view, a slim, long-haired girl covered her face, crying.

On the ground were her discarded bloody clothes, and a few bundles of used gauze stained with red, carelessly thrown around.

“Wuwuwu…”

Amid the sobbing, Eve finally made out what she was muttering in grievance.

“It hurts so much… wuwu… is it even human? How could they hit so hard? Don’t they follow the rules… wuwu… it hurts so much.”

The long-haired girl cried more and more pitifully, her grief increasingly tragic, looking like a little crybaby, completely at odds with her usual cold and elegant demeanor.

“It hurts so much… it won’t leave scars, right… wuwu… I’m not married yet. If I get scars, who will want me… wuwu.”

Listening to the girl’s complaints, Eve felt a wave of awkwardness.

After all, it was her daughter who had caused the trouble. As she hesitated, trying to figure out how to comfort the girl, a stone slab underfoot suddenly loosened.

The crisp sound echoed distinctly in the cave where only the pitiful sobbing could be heard.

“Who’s there?”

Now Eve had no choice but to reveal herself. After all, the big black dragon was in a sensitive state from being injured. If she suddenly went berserk and tore apart the mountain, Eve would still have to step in to handle the aftermath.

“It’s me… it’s me… long time no see, Anna.”

Eve revealed herself. Seeing her, the black-haired girl called Anna showed a hint of embarrassment.

She hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes, but the obvious tear marks on her face could not be erased.

Her state was also hard to conceal…

She could only stand awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

“Why are you here?”

Anna’s voice had a hint of sobbing, making her too timid to continue speaking. She could only turn her back stiffly, refusing to pay attention to Eve.

“Did you come just to laugh at me? That little girl who hurt me… you sent her, didn’t you?”

“You untrustworthy person!”

Anna pursed her lips in displeasure, leaving only a graceful back view for Eve.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to glare at Eve, but her whole body hurt, even talking hurt.

She was afraid that if she looked Eve in the eyes, a pearl might drop if she lost control.

That would ruin her image. As a high-ranking dragon, she was supposed to maintain her imposing image.

“No… that child… anyway, there’s a reason. I came here specifically to apologize to you.”

“Let me see… where are you hurt?”

Eve spoke gently, her tone as soft as possible, as if making every effort to care for Anna’s feelings.

“No need! It’s just a minor injury. I only didn’t hold it against her because she’s a child…”

Anna still insisted, and her body trembled slightly from speaking too passionately, making her feel as if her entire body was falling apart.

“But… I think I heard that the so-called child gave you a shoulder throw.”

“….”

As soon as Eve said this, the entire cave went silent, so quiet that only their breaths could be heard.

The awkward atmosphere began to spread bit by bit.

“Wuwuwu… I don’t want to live anymore.”

Anna was so angry she almost wanted to smash her head against the rock wall to die.

Eve was right. As a massive black dragon, she had actually been thrown by a tiny human child.

Not only was she wounded all over, but her bones almost shattered.

Anna had encountered many humans, but never anyone so ruthless.

A shoulder throw!

Who ever used a shoulder throw on a dragon?

“Stop, stop, calm down.”

Eve hurriedly stopped her.

“That’s my daughter. I didn’t know about this beforehand. The fault is ours. Calm down first, we can discuss this.”

“Your daughter?”

Anna was slightly stunned, then cried even louder.

“You really sent someone to bully me… wuwu… even outside people, I can’t trust, you deliberately had a daughter to bully me.”

“I don’t want to live anymore… What’s the point of my dragon life?”

“I’ll just smash my head and die.”

Anna felt humiliated. She was so angry she could hardly breathe.

“Wait, wait… I brought cookies I baked myself.”

Hearing this, Anna was slightly stunned, and the whole dragon quieted down.

“Then I’ll eat them before I die.”

She spoke with a sobbing, pitiful tone.
