Chapter 239 Debt Collection Plan√
The black dragon flying in the sky suddenly sneezed several times and couldn't help cursing. After recovering from his previous inexplicable sadness, he became angrier the more he thought about it.
——Damn the Taylor family! Damn the red-haired kid! He felt a toothache and a sore face when he thought of that sword. Zephirian was so angry that he fluttered around in the sky with his teeth and claws bared, venting his anger.
In order to retrieve one tooth, he broke another tooth. The dwarf craftsman in Wildhammer Harbor was very smart and would definitely ask him for double the money.
Suddenly, he stopped flapping his wings, dived straight toward the ground, and finally turned into a human form and landed on the ground.
No, he took out his own parchment notebook - he couldn't bear this loss himself, he had to squeeze some money out of his debtors to make up for the shortfall of his tooth filling!
"This one died, and this one died too. Tsk, these short-lived ghosts must be dead now—" He flipped through many pages in annoyance, and simply started flipping from the back to the front, until he finally stopped at a certain page.
"Katherine Bishop." Zephyrion pronounced the name in ancient language. "Zora's daughter? Hum, she must be rich."
After finalizing the candidate for "debt collection", Zephirion slowly paced in human form, muttering to himself, "The annoying women are all dead, but their children gave birth to children... Humph, annoying, but they can give birth."
Zephirian's mood improved again, and he even comforted himself, "It's not a big deal. Fustwin and I will have many children in the future, and we will live longer than them."
They are the last two flying dragons, carrying the hope of the continuation of the race. Even if Fustewen looked down on him before, she will definitely not reject him again after his teeth are fixed, right?
He imagined the wonderful life in the future. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He decisively changed direction and hummed a song as he headed towards the location of High Garden in his memory.
……
"father!"
Lilith had just been helped off the horse by a knight when she saw Leila, like a happy returning bird, throw herself into the arms of the man standing outside the castle gate, and be picked up and held high by the man.
The corners of Lilith's lips, which had been raised all the way, finally slowly lowered - Tsk, she couldn't avoid this old Deng after all, she thought he had left.
"Are you hurt? Are you cold?" James Flair spun Leila around before putting her down, and asked in a warm and concerned voice.
Leila shook her head and complained, "My mom criticized me!"
"Your mother just cares about you." James smiled and looked back at the crowd behind him, but automatically ignored Lilith and pulled Leila inside, looking like a kind father.
“Thank you, Lilith.” Melissa knew from Leila’s attitude that Lilith had protected James’ image in front of Leila, which made her feel relieved and a little guilty. “Wait until she’s older…”
"It's okay, Melissa." Lilith smiled at her stepmother with understanding, "I feel the same as you do. I hope she can always be happy."
Melissa smiled gratefully and took Lilith's hand again, "Okay, I can't believe this is our first time celebrating Hanukkah together. It's really... exciting!"
She couldn't help laughing when she thought of the ups and downs of her mood in the past few days. The dragon really added a lot of fun to this dull and boring winter.
Melissa was still Melissa after all. Lilith was infected by her smile and also laughed out loud.
"What about Lucinda? I hope she has learned to call me sister. Leila always refuses to do that. Lucinda can't be like her..."
While Lilith complained to Melissa about Leila's tsundereness, she entered the castle with the main group.
……
"So, the huge stone pillar on top of Dragon Fang Castle is where the black dragon once rested?"
At the dinner table, Lilith listened to Winston talking about the past of Dragonfang Castle and dragons, with a look of surprise on her face. No wonder she always felt that place was strange, like a tree fork, it turned out to be a dragon landing.
"Yes, there are still traces of him in some old oil paintings." The old earl said with a smile, "Zephirian thought this was an excellent place to build a nest, so he arbitrarily designated this place as his territory and used Dragon Fang Castle as a vault for his treasures, which led to a lot of friction between him and our ancestors."
"But so many years have passed, and we thought it had all become history. Who would have thought that a thousand years was just the beginning of his adulthood?" the old earl sighed.
"Yes, dragons - they are really magical creatures." Lilith sighed, but her eyes were fixed in the direction of cheap Lao Deng.
She deliberately talked about dragons with everyone at the dinner table, trying to find some flaws in his face, but apart from the horror and disapproval he showed when he first learned that Leila had chopped off the dragon's fang, cheap old Deng seemed to have no interest in the topic.
He even revealed a bit of annoyance and disgust in his eyes because he felt Lilith's gaze.
Pretending? Good acting skills? Or...
Lilith raised her eyebrows. Even though she saw Old Deng's occasional disgusted glance at her, she still did not retreat or avoid it. At the dinner table, she took the opportunity to chat and looked at this father whom she rarely met.
Mary was right, he really looked like her, with shiny blond hair and clear blue eyes. The difference was that James' eye sockets were deeper, making his blue eyes look like deep lake water, and he looked at people with deep affection.
The years had left traces of maturity on his face, but it had not diminished his handsomeness. His upturned eyebrows and high nose bridge made Lilith fully imagine how popular he would have been with girls when he was young. Even though his blooming period had passed, the bearing and manner cultivated by money were still very impressive at first glance.
——But would a dragon be fooled by such an appearance? Lilith was a little skeptical.
Seeing her cheap father looking dissatisfied but not daring to react to her scrutinizing gaze, Lilith could not help but sneer. When Leila looked over, she quickly turned her head away and looked at Lucinda, whose hands and face were covered with sauce, pretending that she was amused by this little sister.
The lovely Lucinda was unaware of the adult world. She only knew that her beautiful big sister was smiling at her. She happily pulled a half-sucked lamb chop out of her mouth to share with her sister.
"Eat it, sister." Lucinda handed over the food covered with saliva and was about to stuff it into Lilith's mouth.
babble--
Lilith shrank her neck back, trying to smile in fear, "Lucinda, eat, I'm full."
Ahhh, something terrible has happened, Lucinda can run and talk now!
She wants to go back to school, she wants to go to school! She doesn't want to take care of the baby during the holidays!!!
