I Married a Disabled Tyrant After Transmigrating - Chapter 168
When she said goodbye to Jiu Qing and left the Leisure Pavilion, Mu Wanwan still couldn’t recover from the ‘Mister Long gave her a drop of his heartblood’ incident.
She stood in front of a spices shop for a long time. The shopkeeper was standing at the front of the store, donned in a curtain hat and some dusty clothes. After waiting for a long time, he didn’t see this customer buying anything. He tolerated it for a while seeing that Mu Wanwan had on a sapphire bracelet, which was worth a few low-grade spiritual stones, but in the end, he couldn’t help it any longer.
“Senior, are you actually going to buy something?”
Mu Wanwan was suddenly awoken from her trance. Looking at the shopkeeper’s rather impatient expression, she glanced at the candies on the display and asked, “Which one among these is the best?”
The shopkeeper frowned, but embracing the idea that people should not be judged by their appearance, he pointed to the candies sealed in a small jar in the shop, “This is refined from spiritual sugar cane, so it is also very expensive. A small jar like this costs 3 gold coins.”
Mu Wanwan nodded and took out 3 gold coins without hesitation, “I’ll take a jar of that.”
She bought ordinary candy before. These days, after the dragon woke up, she would give him some spiritual rice porridge to enjoy and he liked it.
Now that she has some money, it would be good to buy some candies to improve her life.
Mu Wanwan ignored the ingratiating look on the shopkeeper’s face, took the candy and left.
She stood on the busy street. With snowflakes falling lightly and the cold wind blowing in her ears, it made her feel very lonely.
Jiu Qing’s voice still echoed in her mind—
“For a dragon, losing their heartblood is the equivalent to forsaking their lives and talents.”
“For demons and dragons who have been cursed, the heartblood is probably the only thing that remains pure.”
Mu Wanwan touched her heart subconsciously, feeling that it was getting hot little by little. She thought that she was only able to advance to two levels in such a short period of time due to her good luck and extraordinary talent.
But it turned out that it was Mister Long who had been silently paying the price for her for a long time.
Thinking back to when she had asked him if he didn’t want her anymore, Mu Wanwan couldn’t help but blush a little.
In addition to feeling sorry for that silly dragon, there was also a touch of sweetness in her heart, like a stream of joy that could not be turned away, enveloping her whole heart bit by bit…
It made her like him even more.
She really, really liked him.
With eyes burning, Mu Wanwan found a corner and stood quietly for a while.
She needs to calm down now. Otherwise, her mind will be filled with the shadow of that stupid dragon, making it impossible for her to concentrate on shopping.
What a stupid dragon! Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve awoken so early? Why did you make me feel like you never liked me all along?
Mu Wanwan gently stroked and touched the sapphire bracelet on her wrist.
Jiu Qing talked with her for a while and promised to deal with Bai Shuiyao well. Plus, the crystal ball that Uncle Tie gave her was genuine and harmless.
“Do you really want to watch it?” Jiu Qing put on her black cloak and was about to leave. After thinking about the rumors about the sovereign and her battle to become famous as a tyrant, she couldn’t help but say, “It’s better not to watch.”
After chatting with Mu Wanwan for a while, she knew that the person across from her was very soft-hearted. Although there was a limit to how much she could take, she probably never witnessed any massacres occur in person either.
Jiu Qing was well aware of the virtues of dragons. Even though she met a scum of a dragon, they still shared some common characteristics, such as greed and a terrible sense of possessiveness.
If she was scared after seeing what happened to the dragon before, she would be worried that Mu Wanwan would be imprisoned directly by such a possessive dragon.
At that time, Mu Wanwan had not yet recovered from being told that Mister Long gave her a drop of his heartblood. A bit numb and not really thinking carefully, she merely made an appointment with Jiu Qing for their next meeting before leaving.
Now that she had calmed down a bit, Mu Wanwan remembered Jiu Qing’s words and Uncle Tie’s previous warning. Uncle Tie wanted her to see it, but Jiu Qing wanted the opposite.
Or was there something in Mister Long’s past that she couldn’t accept?
