I had checked my fertility long ago.
This is a secret technique.
But out of consideration for Jue Ming's self-esteem, I never told him that my fertility rate is extremely high, while his is almost zero.
That is the real reason we can't have dragon eggs.
Ridiculous, he actually blames it on me.
Facing the suspicious glances from the dragons, I stood out directly.
"Jue Ming, I know it's because I don't want to be with you, so you hold a grudge, but for you to treat a female dragon like me this way, it's really too much!"
"A dragon like you, lacking in character, won't be liked by any other dragons."
The direction of the wind changed again.
"So it's because Hua Ying doesn't want to be with Jue Ming?"
"Jue Ming is really petty!"
"If I were Hua Ying, I wouldn't want to be with Jue Ming either!"
Jue Ming was immediately amused to anger, looking at me with a vicious gaze.
"Is that so? You're really good at making excuses for yourself! If you don't want to be with me, who else could you be with? Hua Ying, stop deceiving yourself!"
I gave a cold snort, scanned the crowd of Dragon Clans, and suddenly found someone I liked.
I ran towards him with quick steps.
"This is the dragon I truly want to be with!"
"I've already liked him for a long time!"
I raised the hand of a dragon, proudly announcing.
But everyone's expressions were a bit strange.
"How strange... Not only does Jue Ming like the black dragon Qing Dai, but Hua Ying actually chose a black dragon too."
That's right.
I also chose a black dragon.
I remember his name is Bai Zhu.
Clearly a black dragon, yet insists on being called white.
Jue Ming's face was all gloom.
But suddenly his expression changed, smiling wryly he said, "Hua Ying, since you won't admit the dirty things you've done, how about making a bet with me?"
"Bet on what?" I deliberately put on an angry face as if being tricked.
"We'll bet on who can lay a dragon egg first!" Jue Ming resolutely said.
"The stakes are our Dragon Crystals."
Dragon Crystals.
Every dragon has their own Dragon Crystal.
It represents different abilities.
If you lose a Dragon Crystal, at best you degrade, at worst you die.
The surrounding dragons were all amazed by the size of our bet, but I seemed provoked and immediately agreed wholeheartedly.
"Alright, let's bet!"
"Just hope you won't renege on it!"
Jue Ming snorted coldly and took Qing Dai away.
"I naturally won't renege, you'd better worry about yourself first."
Qing Dai's eyes were filled with shy light, closely following alongside Jue Ming, looking at Jue Ming as if she's looking at her own hero.
And when she looked at me, there was a hint of victory in her eyes.
I couldn't help but be speechless.
We're all female dragons, is it really necessary to be so competitive?
Turning my head to look at Bai Zhu next to me, suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I remembered something.
"I nearly forgot to ask you, are you willing to form a family with me and nurture dragon eggs together?"
Inside, I felt a little nervous.
Jue Ming's words ultimately caused some influence among the surrounding dragons.
But I didn't expect Bai Zhu to look at me for a long time and then nod vigorously.
His eyes were full of gleaming waves, surprisingly with a hint of flirtation.
"I am willing, as long as you don't mind me being just an ordinary black dragon."
"Everything else is up to you."
My, oh my.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
I never expected this to be such a flirtatious dragon!
The events at the contract ceremony that day ultimately spread out.
The rumor that Jue Ming once asserted I was infertile became even more rampant.
Many in the Dragon Clan had different opinions about it.
"No matter what, Jue Ming and Hua Ying are childhood sweethearts. He wouldn't slander a dragon on purpose."
"Our Dragon Clan naturally covets treasure and beauty. Who knows what Hua Ying might have done in private?"
"A dragon that can't bear children—no wonder Jue Ming chose Qing Dai. Even if Qing Dai is just a black dragon, she's still better than an infertile yellow dragon."
"You can't say that. Jue Ming is Jue Ming, Hua Ying is Hua Ying. Who can prove Hua Ying is infertile?"
"If you ask me, even if Hua Ying can bear children, she's wasted in this life."
"How so?"
"That Bai Zhu is a black dragon, after all. Hua Ying, a yellow dragon, actually got together with a black dragon. The dragon eggs will definitely not rank high! Even if she was doing it to spite Jue Ming, she shouldn't have chosen a black dragon."
"Hmph, in that situation, no other dragon would take her anyway."
...
All kinds of gossip.
When Bai Zhu heard these rumors, he looked at me with great concern.
I knew what he was worried about.
I firmly said, "Don't worry. I won't be swayed by those rumors outside. Just, are you truly willing to trust me and not those outside rumors?"
Bai Zhu nodded immediately, without hesitation.
"Of course, I trust sister. Besides, I'm just a black dragon. It's fine as long as sister doesn't mind me."
The green tea dragon's green tea skills are getting thicker and thicker.
I couldn't help but laugh.
But then, a gradually dangerous glint shimmered in my eyes.
The reason the rumors spread so widely must have someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, obvious upon a thought.
After being reborn, Jue Ming indeed doesn't want me to have a single good day.
But in the end, he's bound to be disappointed.
"Sister, are you alright?" Just as I was thinking this, a sudden voice came from outside.
Qing Dai walked in, fidgeting nervously.
But I could see the glint of victory in her eyes.
She said, half pitying, half boasting, "Sister, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but as female dragons, we ought to be well-behaved."
"If you didn't mess around with other dragons, brother Jue Ming wouldn't have abandoned you."
"You've always overshadowed me since we were young. You are a yellow dragon, but I'm just a lowly black dragon. But you take advantage of being a yellow dragon, and that's why you're so indiscreet!"
"Fortunately, brother Jue Ming has a discerning eye and wasn't deceived by you."
She spoke mockingly, her face wearing the blissful smile of a victor.
Seeing me fall silent, Qing Dai continued, "Whatever, I know you're feeling bad, so just live well with this black dragon in the future, and don't do those absurd things anymore."
"Oh right, almost forgot."
While speaking, Qing Dai took out an invitation and lightly placed it in front of me.
She had an extremely happy smile on her face.
"My wedding with brother Jue Ming is next month."
"Sister, remember to come, and oh, this... brother-in-law too."
The word "brother-in-law" was said by Qing Dai with extreme sarcasm.
After flaunting her victory, she left with satisfaction. I looked at the invitation on the table, but the smile on my lips grew even more derisive.
Does Qing Dai really think her good days have come?
That scumbag dragon Jue Ming—in my previous life, if I hadn't been deceived by those years of childhood affection, I wouldn't have spared him a second glance.
I meant to give Qing Dai a heads-up, but she so eagerly rushed into it.
She even came to my face to flaunt a happiness that never existed.
Since that's the case, I'll congratulate her on gaining her happiness.
In my past life, Qing Dai's husband was also a black dragon, but they were extremely lucky to have conceived two healthy yellow dragon babies.
And in this life, we'll just have to wait and see.
