MTL - Wife is Not Divorced-Chapter 106 her dragon 2
Ali thought that she had brought back a hostage; in the end, she did not expect that what she brought back was actually a big trouble.
Originally thought that (…) it was her who suffered, but Chu Chisi didn’t care at all, and even enjoyed it a little.
The cave is already full of treasures. In addition to hard objects such as gold coins, gems, and crowns, there are of course many fine silks and carpets.
Chu Chisi was pacing, and the vines obediently attached to her side, picking and choosing among the mountains of gold coins, turning over everything that could be used.
Ali: "???"
What the **** is this guy doing?
The vines evoked a beautiful blanket with exotic patterns painted on it. Chu Chisi reached out and touched it, very satisfied: "It's fluffy."
All the soft and comfortable fabrics were dug out by Chu Chisi from the pile of gold coins, the vines were held in his hands diligently, and they followed him like a string of soldiers.
Then, Chu Chisi found a dry, ventilated, small corner facing south, folded all the fabrics neatly and meticulously, and made a bed for himself.
Ali: "..."
She couldn't help but doubt life.
"Do you understand the current situation?" Ali hugged her arms, her voice unpleasant, "You are my hostage now, a lowly prisoner."
Chu Chisi pointed to the bed: "I didn't run away, I just made a bed."
Ali: "…"
Ali wanted to say something, but as soon as she hit her black grape-like eyes, her voice was completely extinguished and stuck in her throat.
Chu Chisi is good-looking, and has a cold appearance that can only be seen from a distance, but when he was begging for mercy while holding the corner of her skirt, it was soft enough to ooze honey.
Ali's ears turned red, she gritted her fangs and turned around in a fit of anger: "Forget it, just be happy."
She took a few steps, the bat wings stretched out, and soon disappeared into the distance in the shape of a dragon.
Ali returned to the vicinity of the kingdom, and looked at the town from a distance on the top of the hill.
The ban that was originally lowered was re-raised by the magician at this moment, shrouding the town like a mist, covering the restlessness inside.
Unlike wizards and witches, who naturally know how to manipulate magic, conjurers must use spell seals as a medium to perform different spells.
The curse mark is drawn with blood.
Just to seal Ali, the sorcerer in the hero team was about to run out of life.
Because of this, the conjurer is not a threat to the king, but a **** that can be used more.
The extremely threatening, terrifying and arrogant dragon broke free, killed the hero, and kidnapped the only magician in the kingdom - all factors combined, the city must have been turned upside down.
Around the boulder, the cold wind whistled.
The huge bat wings folded up behind him, and the thin clouds flickered by his side, and when he reached out his hand, he could take back a touch of coolness.
Ali looked at the town in the fog from a distance, and suddenly the words of the man rang in his ears.
【revenge. 】 Chu Chisi's voice is very light, 【I want you to become strong and bring boundless disaster to the kingdom. 】
Although the dragons are solitary creatures, Ali could not be angry when their tribesmen were killed one after another. She could not wait to turn the kingdom upside down immediately, but because of its strength, it was impossible to fight it at present.
But there is a very strange place. The dragons have lived far away for a long time. Why is the king so eager to eradicate the threat of them?
Why did Chu Chisi say those words to himself? Why does she want revenge?
Ali thought for a while, but didn't understand. When she spread her wings and flew back to the entrance of the cave, the guy was lying on the bed just made and sleeping soundly.
Ali: "..."
The bat wings created a huge airflow, and the whistling wind woke Chu Chisi. She wore a robe that had been pulled out from the gold coin pile and frowned at Ali.
"What shall we have for dinner?"
Chu Chisi said, "I'm a little hungry."
Ari retracted her wings and changed back to a human form by the way. She stood at the entrance of the cave, a little at a loss: "Dinner?"
Chu Chisi looked at her with deep disappointment: "You didn't bring anything back, did you?"
Ali felt a little guilty inexplicably, "No?"
"You spent so much energy to capture a hostage from the kingdom," Chu Chisi said seriously, "are you going to watch the hostage die of starvation?"
Ali fell into contemplation: "..."
In fact, according to Chu Chisi's ability, she could have gone to find food by herself, but Ali didn't know why, she just stared at her for a while, so she spread her wings and flew away.
When she came back, she held a newly dead young deer in her mouth and threw it in front of Chu Chisi.
The beautiful dragon turned its head awkwardly, curled up at the entrance of the cave, its tail hooked in the air and wrapped around her waist: "Eat it."
Chu Chisi looked at her in disappointment, and the condemnation in his eyes was self-evident: "I don't eat raw meat."
Ali had a headache: "..."
A wisp of fire spewed out, and the young deer were instantly roasted black with charcoal, and the skin was still sizzling with smoke, and a faint smell of burnt could be smelled.
Chu Chisi found a dagger out of nowhere, cut off a piece of the venison, and then silently looked at Ali next to him.
Ali felt uncomfortable when she saw her, and couldn't help but folded her sharp claws: "What's wrong?"
"You can see for yourself." Chu Chisi was very angry, "The skin is burnt, the inside is undercooked, and there is blood on the inside—how can I eat this?"
Ali: "..."
The magician is really a magical character. Although she muttered and complained, she cut a circle around the deer and managed to find a few spots that were not burnt and were cooked.
That's how dinner was dealt with.
In the blink of an eye, it was another early morning. On this day, Ali disappeared early in the morning, leaving Chu Chisi alone, wandering around in the cave rather bored.
The vines followed her obediently, the leaves were filled with crystal clear dew, she drank a few, and bit a few fruits, and she had the right to have breakfast.
Just when Chu Chisi was worried, thinking about whether Xiaolong abandoned himself and ran away, there was a sound of flapping wings from the sky, and it was Ali who came back.
"Come back" with her, and a little wild boar that was roasted to crispy and sizzling oil.
A Li gently placed the little wild boar on the clean oiled paper, pressed his paws to the ground, and made several deep ditches: "Here you are."
Chu Chisi glanced at the roast suckling pig, his eyes brightened, and he sincerely praised: "Your craftsmanship is really good."
A simple sentence made the dragon a little embarrassed, and spewed out a few wisps of sparks, scorching a bush next to the cave.
Except for her, no one knew that for this perfect little roast suckling pig, the woods not far away were already full of charred roasted meat.
A Li was struggling with whether or not to transform into a human form, but Chu Chisi's hand suddenly reached up and lightly touched his head.
She said softly, "That's nice."
Different from the hardness and coldness of the sharp claws, it is a touch unique to human beings, soft and soft, leaving a slight fragrance on the scales.
Fortunately, Ali was still in the shape of a dragon, otherwise he would have seen a red cloud rise from the tip of his ear and burn all the way to the back of his neck, revealing his thoughts.
Chu Chisi touched her, and quickly focused all his attention on the little roast pig. The vine leaves were like knives, and he quickly cut the little pig into eight pieces.
Ali shivered silently.
Perhaps it was because of being far away from the town, the gangrene-like curse slowly dissipated, and the power that had been sealed was gradually returned to her.
Dragon's life is very boring. Apart from robbing shiny things everywhere, Ali has a new interest recently:
Observe that little magician every day.
Compared with herself who goes to bed early and wakes up early and hunts regularly every day, Chu Chisi's schedule is extremely chaotic. She sometimes sleeps until the sun rises three times in one night, and sometimes uses the moonlight to fiddle with those weird little medicine bottles all night.
She likes to eat and sleep, but sometimes she doesn't sleep well at night.
When Ali woke up in the middle of the night, he saw Chu Chisi sitting on a branch outside the cave, immersed in the moonlight and drowned completely transparent.
She asked nervously, "Do you want to leave?"
Chu Chisi just shook his head, and his indifferent voice drifted in the wind: "I have nowhere to go."
There is no restriction in the cave, and she often goes out hunting, leaving so much space for Chu Chisi, she can leave here casually.
But she didn't,
She has been staying here.
I don't know when it started, maybe it was the dragon's natural possessiveness, or maybe she looked at the moon too sadly, and Ali wanted to keep her.
As a result, the three meals a day became more varied, and Ali racked his brains to find the freshest fruit and the most delicious prey, all of which were presented to her like a treasure.
After going back and forth, even Chu Chisi was a little suspicious: "Why are you being so kind to me all of a sudden?"
A Li quibble and said, "No, I just ate less recently, so I brought it back by the way."
Chu Chi looked at her suspiciously, and finally didn't say anything, just ate all the small fruits he brought back.
The curse faded day by day, and the power that belonged to the dragon gradually returned. Ali was counting the days of revenge every day, but the closer he got, the more panic he felt in his heart.
If revenge is successful...
Is she about to leave?
This idea suddenly appeared in his mind, which startled Ali who was hunting. The flames he spewed out of control and scorched a large forest.
"Really, what am I thinking?"
Ali stopped at the top of the tree, her tail slammed across the crown of the tree, and there was a rustling sound, sweeping down a large area of rustling leaves.
More than a dozen days ago, due to the curse mark, her flame was not powerful enough, so she could also use it to help Chu Chisi roast meat.
However, with the passage of time, her power became stronger and stronger, and she almost caused a forest fire just now without being distracted for a moment.
Ali turned back to her human form again. She walked restlessly in the woods, always feeling uncomfortable in her chest, and some strange emotions were surging.
The long red dress swept the fallen leaves, and the gold chain around her waist jingled. After a while, Ali walked to a spring.
She hasn't seen her own human form yet.
Ali swallowed, she leaned down and stared at the "person" reflected in the spring:
The long brown-gold hair fell from her shoulders, and under her light-colored long eyelashes, there were a pair of terrifying vertical pupils, which condensed slightly when she was focused, like a sharp blade.
For... human aesthetics, is my appearance beautiful or ugly?
Ali bit her lip, thinking a little distressed, she turned sideways and shook the long tail behind her.
The dragons were transformed into human figures, but their appearances were slightly similar, but they were actually quite different from "humans".
For example, the pointy ears that cannot be changed, the dragon scales on the knuckles, and the dragon tail that is difficult to hide.
Ali stood on the stream, his tail also swayed, deftly circled around and tapped on the stream.
The layers of ripples spread out and shattered the people reflected in them. Ali sighed and straightened up silently.
The brown dragon scales reflected the broken light, but there were no scales at the tip of the tail, which was slender and long, and was as pale pink as her fingers.
The shape of the dragon is strong and powerful, and there are only two places that are the most sensitive and the most vulnerable: one is the reverse scale hidden in the abdomen, and the other is the dragon tail placed behind him.
The tip of the tail had just been pulled out of the stream, and it was covered with clear and transparent liquid. A drop of dew hung on the tip of the tail and fell back into the pool.
Ali took two glances, and his face suddenly became a little hot.
In the clear spring water, she watched a blush rush to the tip of her ear, like a small red fruit hanging from a tree, buried among the strands of blond hair.
Stop it, stop thinking about it.
Ali pulled up the loose strands of hair, and her cheeks became more and more red, so she squatted down, held a handful of spring water with her hands, and suddenly splashed it on her cheeks.
Another night, the fireflies lit small lanterns, wandering in the darkness.
Chu Chisi sat on a branch, his calf swayed, and supper blew through his wet hair, and in the distance was the gentle moonlight.
She can't sleep again,
So get up and look at the moon.
The moon was bright and bright, and it covered the whole land like a stream. It was like this a hundred years ago, and it is still the same a hundred years later, and it has never changed.
She has lived so long that time has lost its meaning. A hundred years, two hundred years, are just a useless unit of measurement.
There were some rustling sounds beside her, the leaves were poked away, and a "person" leaned over a little and sat beside her secretly.
"why are not you sleeping?"
Chu Chisi smiled and turned to the side.
Compared with the arrogance and arrogance at the beginning, the young dragon has been extra cautious recently, and has changed his ways to please her, often observing her expression secretly.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Ali whispered, the tail curled up, tugging the branches under him nervously.
Chu Chisi didn't answer her question, just smiled, turned around again, and stared at the distant moonlight.
The usually cold voice softened a bit under the moonlight: "How old are you this year?"
In fact, Ali is not very used to the human form, but the dragon shape is too huge and the sharp claws are too sharp, she did not want to hurt the person who looked like porcelain in front of her.
She answered truthfully: "One hundred and ten years old."
Chu Chisi seemed a little surprised, and then pursed her lips. It was the first time Ali saw her smile, and she smiled so softly: "Then I'm older than you."
"When you were a child... no, Xiaolong," Chu Chisi said as a story, "there was a grand witch trial once."
Ali said: "You mentioned to me once that the king burned many witches a hundred years ago, and now history is repeating itself on the dragons."
Chu Chisi nodded: "But you were too young at the time. Do you know how that witch trial ended in the end?"
Ali shook her head, she really didn't know.
In that vigorous trial, not only many witches with hidden identities died, but also countless falsely accused and accused civilians.
Regardless of her status and status, as long as someone accuses her of being a "witch", she cannot escape the final judgment. ①
The flames were raging, and one after another, the charred bones fell down, filling the bottomless pothole.
until-
The real witch appears.
The overly wide brim covered her face, revealing only a thin chin, like a child stealing adult clothes, or a delicate china figure.
Sheepskin boots stepped on the red carpet, and countless vines also drilled out from the gaps, covering the glass colored windows of the palace closely, shrouding everyone in darkness.
She didn't even need a staff, just waved her hand, and the black vine wrapped around the gorgeous throne, wrapping the scepter full of gems.
"This is the curse I bestow upon you."
The witch said calmly, her eyes dark and deep: "Every hundred years, terrible disasters will come to this land."
"Your country is in trouble, your rule is crumbling, you will be overthrown by people, and you will die on that throne covered with black velvet pillows."
The king knelt on the ground in a daze, not only begging for her forgiveness, but the witch still walked away without looking back, and no one has seen her since.
The long-lasting flame was finally extinguished, the cross was demolished overnight, and the huge hole was filled with soil, whitewashing everything to its original appearance.
That's how the witch trials ended.
Ali sneered: "So, this generation of kings chose to slaughter all her 'enemies' in order to maintain their dominance and status."
Among these "enemies", naturally, they also included the dragon race that did not obey discipline and were thousands of miles away.
Chu Chisi nodded: "Well."
Ali continued: "When I was a child, my mother told me many things about witches: they are close to nature, good at magic, and like to make medicine—"
She frowned and muttered, "But I've never heard that they can drop curses."
Chu Chisi smiled, and she suddenly leaned down and leaned towards Ali in the moonlight.
Ah Li was too stiff to move, she heard the surrounding branches and leaves whirling and cicadas chirping, Chu Chi Si leaned against her and rubbed the tip of her nose.
The breath is intertwined, sweet and warm.
Obviously it was just a small gesture, but Ali was suddenly plucked, and his heart was beating beside his ears, which was deafening.
"But it doesn't matter, does it?"
Chu Chisi pressed her forehead, those eyes were dark and deep, hiding many unknown secrets.
She leaned into her ear and said softly, "You can never predict how far humans can go for power."
[It goes back and forth, like ouroboros. 】
right? Humans always seem to yearn for "rights", "status", that sort of thing. As a dragon clan, Ali can't quite understand their thinking.
Not as attractive as something shiny.
The moonlight was quiet, soft breathing fell on the side of her face, Chu Chisi only touched the tip of her nose, and then returned to the original position.
She didn't look at Ali anymore, but turned her head to look at the moon. The quiet, bright moon, sloping down from the clouds to a long silver waterfall.
There were some rustling sounds in his ears, Chu Chisi glanced at his side, and found that the nimble slender tail had already wrapped around his waist more than once.
The tip of her tail looked soft, she rubbed the clothes around her waist, then sneaked around her body and wrapped Chu Chisi in her arms.
"My mother told me once."
Ali looked at her, her vertical pupils slightly condensed: "Witches are cunning, insidious, and unscrupulous creatures to achieve their goals."
The evening wind was cold and lifted up the wide black hat. Chu Chisi let her hook her tail with her tail, and said casually, "So what?"
"so-"
Ali leaned over and looked at her without blinking: "So, when you achieve your goal, will you leave me?"
It's surprisingly straightforward.
Chu Chisi was stunned for a while, then laughed, and casually responded: "This, maybe."
She said, "I may leave when your spell is completely lifted and revenge is successful."
【leave? Is she leaving? 】
Those sneaky thoughts, those unease hidden in the bottom of my heart, all burst out at this moment, swallowing her to the top like magma.
The action was faster than the thought, and the tail hooked on the waist tightly, and suddenly pulled Chu Chisi forward.
Chu Chisi did not fall from the tree, but was wrapped in a hot embrace, her stunned face reflected in the vertical pupils, "Ali?"
The second half of the sentence could not be said.
Ali bit her lip, swallowing Chu Chisi's breath bit by bit, pressing her into the boundless moonlight.
Chu Chisi was a little breathless after being kissed, his long eyelashes were stained with cold water vapor, and the tip of his nose was slightly red: "Well, I..."
Ali stared at her and circled her even tighter.
It was the first time for her to see a panicked look in those black eyes, as if a fire had been added to the firewood pile, making it burn more vigorously and more vigorously.
Dragons are lonely and powerful. Dragons are the most greedy creatures in the world. When they see beautiful treasures, they only want to keep them.
[This is the nature of the dragon race. 】
Want to bully her, want to possess her, want to keep her; want to bury her with layers of gold coins, want to hide her in a pile of the most beautiful rubies.
The scaly knuckles pushed aside the broken hair and clasped a small section of the back of Chu Chisi's neck. The soft skin that belonged to only human beings fitted her with a faint warmth.
The soft, slightly cool water vapor tasted like the lips of cheese, being bitten and pulled, it melted into a sweet taste.
Ari held her tighter and bit her word by word: "Chu Chisi, you are the hostage I brought back."
"You are the dragon's prisoner, the treasure hidden by the dragon, and I took it into the cave - don't even think about leaving."
Humans, magicians, or witches who have long since perished, it doesn't matter what their status is, the person in front of them can use her to the fullest, and she allows it.
However, she must not think about leaving.
The tip of the tail was hooked tightly every inch, the scaly finger pads brushed against the cheeks, and the fangs pressed against the lips.
It's not really like a kiss, it's more like a little beast biting her gently, something indescribable hidden in his eyes, ready to come out:
"Chu Chisi, you are not allowed to leave."
