Violet Fuges thought of the strawberry-scented pheromones that had enveloped her last night, and her sensitive glands heated up again.

She gathered her coat around herself and looked at her crippled dragon tail.

Before, when her dragon tail was normal, she had never experienced any pheromone imbalances.

But after her dragon tail was crippled, her glands became easily susceptible to pheromone interference, and even suppression patches couldn’t prevent it.

Before Long Ling, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t searched for other Alphas.

Merely dining together was enough to make her extremely averse to Alpha pheromones, making it impossible for her to enter into an intimate relationship with an Alpha.

She was always assertive.

It was rare to encounter a decent dessert, and if her dragon tail were normal, she would have already pulled Long Ling into her arms.

Now, everything was because of her disability.

“I’m done eating. You can eat the rest yourself.”

Violet left only those words before departing from the dining table.

Long Ling was somewhat at a loss and hurriedly followed Miss Evil Dragon’s footsteps.

When she reached the door, a magnificent carriage with black and gold as its main colors was just arriving.

A purple gemstone was inlaid on the roof of the carriage, and two white horses, robust and tall, with glossy manes, were covered with silver armor.

Two rows of knights clad in cold iron armor stood on either side of the carriage, wielding sharp swords, guarding Violet’s safety.

Long Ling could only see Violet’s profile, as well as her cool, pale jawline, her red lips bright and seductive, her entire being radiating nobility and elegance.

A personal maid bowed and respectfully opened the carriage door for Violet, setting down a ramp specifically for wheelchairs.

After Violet entered the carriage, the black door was slowly closed from the outside by a servant.

The carriage quickly drove away. Miss Evil Dragon didn’t linger for her.

A hint of disappointment couldn’t help but arise in Long Ling’s heart.

If only she could hear Miss Evil Dragon’s thoughts like before.

But the previous two times, she had been completely unable to discern the pattern and didn’t know how it had happened.

Did Miss Evil Dragon leave just now because she was dissatisfied with her?

Long Ling kneaded her knuckles.

She was just a cook with no other abilities.

If Miss Evil Dragon insisted on driving her away, she could only return to the Arnold family and accept her fate.

Violet was sitting in the carriage, and her personal maid reported to her that Long Ling was still standing in the same spot, staring blankly in the direction the carriage had left.

She had already told the little milk dragon to eat breakfast herself, but the little milk dragon still chased after her.

Did she like sticking to her so much? Unwilling to be separated from her for even a moment.

Violet softened a little and instructed her personal maid,

“Have the coachman stop the carriage at the manor gates and notify Head Housekeeper Marcia to come over.”

The personal maid hurriedly said respectfully, “Yes, Your Highness.”

The carriage stopped in front of the Iridales Manor gates.

Marcia, having received Violet’s summons, hurried over.

Violet’s deep, languid voice came from the carriage, “What did that little milk dragon bring with her when she came to the manor yesterday?”

Marcia described the scene of Long Ling’s first day at the manor,

“She only brought a very old suitcase. The suitcase was very light, and it should contain mostly clothing. Although she is said to be the Arnold family’s only Alpha, because of her mother, the Arnold family doesn’t seem to value her much.

Even the envoy who came to send her off was only a low-ranking Dragon Guard.”

Violet thought of Long Ling’s startled eyes.

Those doe-like eyes were filled with moist mist, the watery light shimmering, beautifully fragile, causing one to feel pity.

She tapped her slender fingers lightly and said softly, “If she has any needs, you can try to satisfy them.”

Marcia respectfully agreed, “Rest assured, Your Highness, I will take good care of her.”

Long Ling watched Miss Evil Dragon’s carriage leave the manor before returning to the dining table alone to finish her breakfast.

Warm milk, savoury ham, and sweet and sour blueberry jam bread, these were all foods she had never eaten in the palace before.

This world wasn’t so bad either.

She was able to regain her life, taste different foods, and learn different recipes.

So it didn’t matter.

Even if Miss Evil Dragon was dissatisfied with her, she would find a way to survive, even if life would be a bit harder.

After finishing breakfast, Long Ling returned to the bedroom.

The clinking sounds in the envelope were very attractive to her, making her think of glittering gold coins or dazzling gems, all the good things she could imagine.

Her footsteps were light and joyful as she walked back, and her translucent dragon horns were revealed.

The plump, silver-white dragon tail swayed back and forth in the light blue lotus dress, the dragon scales shimmering silver.

After Long Ling opened the door, she immediately rushed to her leather suitcase.

She opened the clasps of the suitcase, took out the envelope, and held it in her hands, feeling a bit of weight.

After Long Ling opened it with a letter opener, she poured everything inside out.

The sound of a large pile of gold coins falling on the floor didn’t occur.

There was only a paltry sprinkle of small rain flowers, all silver coins, not a single gold one.

Long Ling was a little dejected, but she roughly counted them, and there were about five hundred silver coins.

Five hundred silver coins, converted into gold coins in this world, would be about five gold coins.

At least it was a windfall. Having five hundred silver coins was better than having nothing.

After comforting herself, Long Ling quickly found her little bag, which she used specifically for storing money, and carefully placed the silver coins into it one by one.

These silver coins were all her possessions.

If she had nowhere else to go, she could rely on these silver coins to survive for a while.

Long Ling lightly tapped each of her few possessions, and suddenly noticed a golden light flash.

Could it be that a lucky gold coin had accidentally fallen into the pile of silver coins?

Long Ling quickly dug out the glittering object and placed it in the sunlight.

It was an old key with gold trim, its surface covered with some rust and dust, emitting the scent of being abandoned by time.

Long Ling held the key up and looked at it for a while, the light in her ice-blue eyes growing brighter and brighter.

If there was a key, there might be a treasure chest!

After coming to this world, Long Ling had read many travelogues and adventure stories.

Perhaps Grandma Chieftain had given her a treasure map and a key instead of a large amount of gold coins because it wasn’t convenient to give them to her directly.

Long Ling’s spirits lifted, and she rummaged through the envelope again, and sure enough, she pulled out a thick parchment scroll from the envelope’s lining.

That’s right, the location of the treasure was usually drawn on parchment scrolls.

Long Ling’s heart beat faster.

She rubbed her small hands and eagerly opened the parchment scroll.

[Dear Long Ling, Grandma Chieftain’s most beloved granddaughter, may God bless you, and I hope everything is well when you arrive at Iridales Manor.

Duchess Violet is a kind and beautiful Omega with a large territory and countless riches. If you can win Duchess Violet’s heart and become the Duchess, you will live a happy life that everyone envies.

I have prepared a property and five hundred silver coins for you. There is also a tavern deed and key in the envelope.

I hope that you can revitalize the tavern in your spare time and use the income for daily expenses.]

A tavern is a shop? She was going to have her own shop!

She had originally thought that the Arnold family would only give her some clothing and silver coins as a dowry, but she didn’t expect Grandma Chieftain to bring her such an unexpected surprise.

Long Ling had heard people say in the palace before that the dignitaries in the capital had private properties, and those private properties could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver notes each year.

Now, she had a deed and the key to the tavern, which meant that she was now the owner of the tavern!

This was practically no different from a windfall!

Long Ling quickly swept the things off the cherry wood table and spread out the deed on it.

Her new tavern was in Repath Town, located at Number 199 Soka Street.

It had a building area of over two hundred square meters, divided into two floors.

The roads near the tavern were well-connected, and there was also a resource-rich Misty Forest nearby.

With pleasant scenery and convenient transportation, this tavern should be a good storefront in a prime location.

If it was lively and prosperous, she would only need to recruit two employees and sell some common goods, and even if she didn’t go to the store, she could have a stable income.

Long Ling clenched the deed in her hand, along with the key, and pressed them into her palm, her ice-blue pupils sparkling.

Gold coins!

Gold coins!

She was going to earn a lot of gold coins!

To become a dragon sleeping in a pile of gold coins!
