Chapter 127 – My Husband Had an Accident
Jian Luo ignored him.
In truth, he wasn’t very concerned about rumors and gossip. In the broadcasting industry, as a public figure, he faced criticism and praise every day. If he couldn’t get used to it and digest it early on, it would be difficult to endure.
Fortunately, he had always been carefree. Even if there was something unpleasant, he could quickly put it behind him.
Turning a corner, they arrived at their doorstep. Jian Luo went inside, and Lu Shifeng was repairing the fence at the courtyard gate. Seeing him return, Lu Shifeng said, “The soup in the pot seems to be ready.”
Jian Luo exclaimed, “Great!”
The little dragonling in his pocket crawled out. They were almost a month old now, and the growth rate and abilities of the dragon race were amazing. Many things they could already understand, they just couldn’t speak yet. Jian Luo had set three rules for them: they couldn’t come out of his pocket when they were outside, only when they returned home or went hunting, or when their dad was around.
Now that they were home, the sturdy Long Ao Tian was the first to jump out.
Jian Luo put down his younger siblings and said softly, “Go wash your faces. Dad will serve soup in a while.”
The two little dragonlings were happy to hear there was food. They were already able to take care of themselves to some extent. Hearing their dad’s words, they obediently went to wash up.
Jian Luo checked the pot and indeed, it was ready to be served.
Lu Shifeng said, “I’ll serve it.”
Jian Luo hesitated, “Huh? No need, I can do it.”
Lu Shifeng didn’t pay attention to Jian Luo’s latter remark. He took the ladle and filled the bowls, then set them aside on a stone slab to cool.
Jian Luo had to step back a few steps to make room for him.
After Lu Shifeng had served the bowls for everyone, Jian Luo whispered from behind, “Were you not satisfied with the portions I served earlier?”
Lu Shifeng glanced sideways, “No.”
Jian Luo asked, “Then why…”
“It’s too hot.” Lu Shifeng looked at Jian Luo’s hand, “It’ll scald.”
…
Jian Luo choked up.
Actually, he had served it before, but yesterday he was absent-minded while serving, and as a result, he got scalded a little. He swore, it was really just a small burn, and it didn’t hurt for long, but the human skin turned red in a fit of drama.
Lu Shifeng didn’t say anything at the time, and Jian Luo thought he didn’t mind, but unexpectedly, he was waiting here. It was truly… truly complex emotions. The longer they spent together, the more Jian Luo realized that General Lu was really not good with words. He was a man of action, preferring to quietly do everything well.
“Achoo.”
The little dragon finished washing its face and crawled onto Jian Luo’s leg from the stone slab.
They liked to come to Jian Luo for a little pat before meals. Jian Luo didn’t know what principle this was, but perhaps it made their meals taste better.
Jian Luo patted Long Ao Tian’s head, “Still hot, don’t rush.”
Long Ao Tian seemed to understand vaguely and started digesting the new words. Jian Luo picked up all three of them and put them on the table in the room, then took out a wooden mole-catching device made by Lu Shifeng for them to play with.
Lu Shifeng said, “Jian Luo, come out with me.”
Jian Luo turned his face to look at him, as if he had anticipated that Lu Shifeng would speak, yet also seemed to have been waiting for this day. Without asking any more questions, he followed Lu Shifeng outside.
Lu Shifeng stood on the steps at the door and said, “I’ve contacted His Majesty.”
Jian Luo felt a mixture of emotions but didn’t know what to say, so he just nodded, “Um, are we going back?”
“What’s wrong?” The younger version of Lu Shifeng looked at him quietly, “Are you not happy?”
“…”
Jian Luo dryly responded, “Happy.”
In fact, he didn’t care where they went because nowhere was home for him. Everywhere had many inevitabilities waiting for him to accept. The words of Silver Ash were not entirely trustworthy, but they couldn’t be completely distrusted either. He believed in Lu Shifeng, believed he wouldn’t harm the children, but he didn’t believe in Dark Star.
He would rather find a quiet mountain village to live in with the children than let them go back and face those things.
Lu Shifeng said, “They are pure-blooded dragons. Even if they return to Dark Star, their status will be extremely noble, and they won’t be bullied.”
Jian Luo forced a smile, “Yeah, I know.”
But what about the Dragon King?
What about the noble status? He rarely saw Lu Shifeng smile.
For a moment, he suddenly understood what the Queen had said:
“No matter how powerful, Lu Shifeng, as powerful as he is, can only become the Dragon King?”
Perhaps this sentence wasn’t ironic but rather sorrowful. Everyone lived in the world, and everyone had their constraints. He did, and so did Lu Shifeng. Everyone did. Who didn’t eat meat and drink broth?
But for now, Jian Luo asked, “How long will it take for them to arrive? Your injury isn’t healed yet.”
Leaning against the railing, Lu Shifeng’s adolescent body seemed to have matured over the past half month, taller and more imposing. He could even retract his dragon horns now. “It will heal soon.”
Jian Luo nodded.
Lu Shifeng answered his previous question, “This planet is quite far from Dark Star, and locating it is difficult. If it’s fast, probably about half a month.”
Jian Luo had a bad premonition, “And if it’s not fast?”
“About a month.”
“…Alright.”
Overall, Jian Luo was an optimist. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. He could quickly digest any worries and remain cheerful.
Lu Shifeng said, “Pack up, we’ll leave here tomorrow morning.”
Jian Luo was stunned, “Leave now?”
Didn’t the people from Dark Star say they would take some time to arrive?
Although he didn’t want to stay here anymore, he even thought living on the mountain would be fine, even though it was a bit dangerous.
Lu Shifeng said, “This planet has more than one tribe. To the south, there’s a slightly weaker small tribe. We’ll go there.”
Jian Luo instinctively felt nervous, “Will they accept us?”
Lu Shifeng looked at him, and when those blood-red eyes quieted down, it made people subconsciously nervous. Just as Jian Luo thought he had asked the wrong question, Lu Shifeng lifted his hand and gently rubbed his head, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.”
Jian Luo lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly. His heart beat a little unsteadily, but he forced himself to stay calm, “Oh, oh… the food should be cooled by now. We can eat.”
Lu Shifeng said, “Okay.”
As soon as they pushed open the door, they saw three dragons squatting in a row by the wall, without a hint of shame for not being caught. Long Ao Tian even let out a plaintive cry, as if blaming Dad for locking them up.
Jian Luo chuckled helplessly, “The dragons may be small, but they have big tempers.”
Long Ao Tian grumbled incessantly, muttering all day long. However, because he couldn’t speak, no one knew what he was saying. But he seemed to enjoy it, pestering his parents first, then bothering his younger siblings. Fortunately, his younger siblings were relatively quiet, so having an older brother who was noisy actually made them more active.
After packing up for the night, they prepared to leave the next morning.
The chief of the tribe hurried over when he heard the news. He said, “You’ve been living well here. Why leave?”
Even Wenya was there.
Wenya came over and grabbed Jian Luo’s hand, reluctant to let go, “Luo Luo, why are you leaving? I can’t bear to part with you.”
Jian Luo pulled back his hand, took two steps back to keep his distance from her.
The chief kept asking Lu Shifeng, “Sir, are you dissatisfied with our tribe? Or has someone offended you? Just say it, we can rectify it. Whoever you’re not satisfied with, we’ll make sure they don’t appear in front of you.”
Lu Shifeng stood straight, his body exuding an extraordinary aura despite his youth, making people not dare to underestimate him. He raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “Rectify?”
The chief nodded.
The power of the high-ranking nobles was unimaginable, and the chief had only recently learned that the black dragons of the dragon race were extremely rare, only the pure-blooded ones had them.
Although they had fallen from grace, who could guarantee they wouldn’t rise again?
Lu Shifeng chuckled coldly, a rare smile, but when his lips curled up with malicious intent, it sent shivers down people’s spines.
After saying his piece, he left with Jian Luo, leaving the chief bewildered in the wind. Beside him, Wenya said, “Where can they go?”
The chief was uncertain, “We only have two tribes here. They probably have to go to the tribe over at Kals.”
Wenya sighed in relief, “It’s okay, their tribe is much worse than ours. Let them go.”
“Idiot!”
The leader looked at her with disappointment, “This is now. If he returns to the Dragon Clan and they show a little favor to Kars, what does it matter to us on this planet?”
Jian Luo felt a bit aggrieved, “They eloped from the Dragon Clan. How dare they go back?”
The leader exclaimed, “Do you know that only pure-blooded dragons have black and silver, and only the descendants of the Dragon King will give birth to pure-blooded ones!”
…
On the other side,
Jian Luo sat on a beast resembling an elephant.
It’s quite amazing on this planet. Their animals are all large in size, but many are gentle. Moreover, most of them have good relations with the people of the planet. Even in their tribe, every household raises animals.
The one responsible for picking them up was an adult man. It seemed like he had known that Lu Shifeng would come, so they came to pick them up shortly after they left the village.
During the journey, he sat quite close to Jian Luo and curiously asked, “Um, are you and Mr. Lu brothers?”
“…”
Jian Luo didn’t expect everyone to think that the child wasn’t Lu Shifeng’s.
But it’s also good. For example, last time, just because of Wenya’s relationship, everyone thought he and Lu Shifeng eloped. This time, why not just admit to being brothers, to avoid suspicion?
With this in mind, Jian Luo said to the young man, “Yes, that’s right, he’s my brother.”
The young man nodded, “Then what about your husband?”
After all, he saw Jian Luo with a child.
Because they left the tribe for a new place, the three little ones were curious again. So, they all ran to the front and sat on the mount’s head to look at the scenery.
Jian Luo didn’t expect to have to switch on his acting skills again, adjust his expression, sighed, and said with some sorrow, “It’s a long story. These little ones have had a hard time. When I gave birth to them, my husband had an accident. We have a home we can’t go back to temporarily, so we can only stay here for the time being.”
He hadn’t finished speaking, but the young man had already imagined the rest.
The young man showed a sad expression and comforted Jian Luo, “It’s all in the past.”
Jian Luo just made a sound of agreement. When he turned his head, he met the gaze of the three little ones. The cubs looked at him with a somewhat frightened look, the most mature second eldest even seemed to be pondering something, and the most straightforward Long Ao Tian turned his head and glanced at Lu Shifeng not far away with a hint of surprise.
Author’s note: Little Dragon: Turns out our life is so tragic, fatherless in childhood, sob.
