Nairna: ? ? ?
Are the dragons in this evil dragon kingdom all brainless?
Is the fish scale on Si Jin's calf the key point?!
Even if a bird did see it, so what?
Si Jin Bell is a man, after all; she's still a young girl.
If she actually sees it, she'll be the one who suffers!
But the raging flames surrounding her had robbed her of any room for complaint, and she could only endure the burns and continue to plead: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I misspoke. It was the bird, the bird that was talking to me, that saw the fish scales!"
Which bird?
Nairna: !!!
Damn it! God! She's going crazy.
A bird is just a bird, any random bird in the forest.
How could she tell which one it was?!
"You...you deliberately dragged me into this!" The count's anger surged.
Ignoring the ministers' astonished gazes, he punched the ugly woman beside him in the face, causing the burned Nerna to tilt her head and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
He angrily rebuked her: "You wicked woman! Don't forget, if I hadn't saved you, you would have been eaten by the monster long ago. How could you be here bewitching people? It's all your fault!"
"Alright, stop arguing." Lin Yuan released another ball of fire, burning the Earl as well.
Then, she withdrew the flame from her palm and covered Si Jin's ears.
He knew his kids didn't come to the roundtable meeting because they thought the group was too noisy, and those two good-for-nothings still didn't know when to stop; they were practically asking for trouble.
The king spoke up: "Keep an eye on them. No one is allowed to put out the fire. Earl Chris will be stripped of his title. Once he's cooked, he and Nelna will go feed the monster."
"Why? Your Majesty!" the count shouted, "I'm not the one in the wrong!"
"For me, stupidity is wrong."
The Dragon King declared: "Because fools need all the innocent people around them to pay for their stupidity."
After saying that, he led Si Jin back to his bedchamber.
He closed the door and drew the curtains tightly shut.
He then bit his finger and set up a magical barrier near the room.
A mosquito flew over "leading the charge" and was instantly burned to ashes.
Seeing this result, Lin Yuan turned back to his room with satisfaction.
He had his personal guards carry a huge glass jar to the door, and then he put the jar into the bathroom.
It was filled with water.
In this era, glass was a rare commodity, and only the nobility of wealthy countries were entitled to enjoy it.
Lin Yuan filled the pool with water and, like peeling a lychee, removed the boy's clothes.
They placed his small body into a large glass pool that was half the height of a person.
He pulled up a chair, sat down, and reached out to ask, "You're not doing the tail anymore, are you?"
Si Jin dispelled the illusion and floated in the water, feeling much better.
Indeed, fish love water.
"Jinjin." Seeing his tail disappear, Lin Yuan's eyes widened slightly.
He hadn't even had a chance to ask why Jinjin's tail had suddenly grown out, and now... it's gone again?
Could it be... a smokescreen?
After thinking it over, he changed what he had blurted out: "You lied to me again."
"Yes, but dare you say you don't like this glass tank?" Si Jin hooked her arm around Lin Yuan's hand, swam to his side, and lightly pecked his lips.
She hooked her arms around his neck, their lips meeting, gently caressing each other: "Yuan~ Uncle~ Uncle~"
Lin Yuan's heart tightened once again.
He had already endured enough hardship, but this fish just wouldn't stay still.
This is really bad...
He reached out his other hand and pinched Si Jin's chin: "I'm already on fire, don't set me on fire, aren't you afraid I'll drown you?"
Si Jin retorted, "But I have the advantage in the water."
"But I'm older than you."
Si Jin asked, "Uncle, are you referring to age?"
“It’s not just about age.” Lin Yuan reached out and adjusted his glasses. “It also manifests in… aspects.”
