Chapter 325: 324 “You are my wife.””

That day, Jeliteli was destined to be extremely bustling.

How could it not be?

Above the heads of the trio, a man and two women walking hand in hand in the street, a massive black dragon, like the most loyal bodyguard, flapped its wings slowly in flight while keeping pace with the three. The level of attention was simply more impressive than any outing by the nobles, even the Royal Family, instantly elevating their prestige to the fullest.

It seemed the public had already received news from the Knight Order. Though they dared not approach the street where Shane and his party were, they peeked from buildings and alleys on both sides, both fearful and excited at the sight of Shane’s group strolling with a dragon.

“Is that a noble from the Royal Capital?”

“So impressive… so very impressive!”

“To actually have a dragon as a mount…!”

“Are all nobles from the Royal Capital this formidable?”

The public whispered and chattered among themselves, watching Shane holding the hands of Ai Yi and Lasha, their eyes filled with admiration and longing.

At that moment, in the eyes of the people, Shane was undoubtedly grand and majestic.

Even several sweet-looking ladies from well-born families, accompanied by groups of guards, came to observe, their gazes so heated upon Shane that it was almost unbearable.

Being a noble at such a young age, possessing a real dragon as a mount, and even the Knight Commander of Jeliteli treating him with utmost respect– how was this man any different from a golden bachelor?

Moreover, being a noble from the Royal Capital, having established himself in such a locale meant he was truly a noble among nobles. Naturally, these young ladies all took great interest.

This made Shane somewhat sentimental.

“It seems being a noble does have its perks.”

At the least, the status and level were certainly enough, and the treatment wasn’t bad either, a veritable winner in life.

Of course, the treatment of the two beauties, one older and one younger, by Shane’s side was equally favorable.

“Look at that maid…”

“So beautiful…”

“How can there be such a beautiful maid?”

“If I had such a beautiful maid at home, how could I possibly marry a baron’s daughter?”

“Same with me. If ours had half her figure and looks, I would have gone to propose marriage myself instead of waiting for them to force the marriage.”

“Beautiful maids like her are truly a status symbol for nobles, right?”

“Right?”

“That little girl is also very pretty.”

“She’s too pretty.”

“I wish my daughter were that cute.”

“To be honest… I even want to adopt her as my daughter.”

“Yeah…”

“I really wish…”

Such conversations continuously emerged, drawing many young noblemen and married men, their gaze fixed on the two beauties beside Shane, almost drooling.

Unfortunately, even if Lasha let it go, Ai Yi’s mood continued to deteriorate.

“Daughter?”

Ai Yi’s face was covered with frost.

First, it’s sister, now daughter, what exactly is going on?

Am I, the great Dragon Demon, someone to be treated as a sister or daughter?

If you recognized me as a sister or mother, I might reluctantly accept it to hear good words. If I was in a good mood, maybe due to a mental breakdown, I might give you a chance to claim kinship, but to consider me as a sister or daughter?

Are you only afraid of the dragon flying overhead and not afraid of me, the Dragon King?

Believe it or not, I could transform right here and scare you to death?

Then, you’d all willingly become my younger brothers!

Ai Yi was extremely displeased and started to dislike the city.

Thus, Ai Yi began making requests to Shane.

“Do you really want to rest here for a night? Can’t we just leave now?”

Ai Yi almost had “I don’t want to stay here” written all over her face.

Unfortunately, Shane was not moved at all.

“We’ve flown all the way from the Royal Capital, and you’re not tired? I’m exhausted,” Shane said irritably. “The sun is almost down, do you really want to travel through the night?”

Well, Ai Yi indeed did not want to travel through the night.

As a naturally sleepy Dragon King, not sleeping at night was impossible, probably for her entire life.

In the past, Ai Yi had often slept for decades at a time. Recently, staying awake almost daily by Shane’s side, though not uncomfortable, still made her frequently drowsy, wanting to lie down and sleep forever.

But if she really did that, by the time she woke up, Shane might already be buried.

Thus, Ai Yi dared not truly sleep her life away and could only keep to an early to bed, early to rise schedule, which was already challenging enough.

“Then let’s rest in another city.”

Ai Yi made the request again.

But this time, before Shane could respond, Lasha spoke first.

“The nearest city to Jeliteli is to the west. Even at Lord You Lin’s speed, it would take a while to reach. By then, it would already be dark, and finding an inn for resting might not be easy.”

Lasha’s calm statement finally made Ai Yi shut her mouth.

Though still displeased, Shane knew that the girl had already given up her plan to leave.

“You really are something,” Shane said with a chuckle. “Is it necessary to resist so much just because people see you as a child?”

“…Then let me ask you,” Ai Yi turned to Shane with an expressionless face. “If you reach sixty years old in the future, and people around you talk to you as if you’re a child every day, calling you little Shane, reminding you to brush your teeth when you get up, buying you clothes meant for ten-year-olds, bathing you, feeding you, requiring reports wherever you go, surrounding you with people for protection, how would you feel?”

Upon hearing this, Shane gave it some thought and then couldn’t bear it any longer.

If he really had a beautiful girl to bathe him and feed him every day, that would be pleasurable, but the rest of Ai Yi’s description only made Shane feel goosebumps about to rise.

Could it be…

“Is that the kind of life you lead?”

Shane asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Ai Yi, still expressionless, said, “And it has been maintained like this ever since I was born, for a whole ten thousand years.”

Ten thousand years…

Shane looked at Ai Yi with eyes suddenly filled with sympathy.

Even Lasha couldn’t help but glance at Ai Yi, her eyes revealing a bit of pity.

This child seems to have been severely tormented.

No wonder she is so sleepy; is it not just because Dragons tend to be sleepy, but also because she wants to escape reality?

“Alright then.” Shane said for the time being, “I won’t call you my sister anymore.”

“Oh?” Ai Yi suddenly perked up, looked at Shane, and asked, “Then who do you plan on saying I am?”

“Uh…” Shane was stumped for a moment.

Who should she be?

Elder sister?

Would anyone believe that?

A senior?

That would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it?

With this little girl’s appearance and looks, saying she is older than himself, people might think he was insulting their intelligence.

In that case…

“Just say you’re my wife.”

The words blurted out by Shane made Ai Yi stagger slightly, nearly falling.

Even Lasha stopped in her tracks, looking at Shane as if she could see a disdain in her eyes.

That was clearly a look reserved for a creepy loli fan.

Girl, I was just joking, can’t you take a joke?

As Shane chuckled dryly, Ai Yi looked at him with a face full of speechlessness.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone dare to call me his wife.”

Ai Yi used one sentence to tell Shane how audacious he really was.

To think of marrying a Dragon Demon as a wife?

Many dare to think it, but none dare to say or do it.

But Shane wanted to say…

“…are you sure they don’t just lack the guts?”

Shane couldn’t help but court death once again.

Ai Yi didn’t say a word but started to squeeze Shane’s hand harder and harder, causing a “creak creak” sound to continuously emerge.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…! It’s going to break, it’s going to break!”

Shane’s face twisted instantly, crying out in pain with gritted teeth.

“Hmph!”

Ai Yi then let go of Shane’s hand and walked forward unhappily.

Shane quickly caught up and swooped the little girl into his arms.

“I was wrong, Lord Ai Yi.” Shane said with a grin, “It’s not that others don’t have the guts, but they lack the courage and qualifications, right?”

“Are you treating me like a child?” Ai Yi still looked displeased.

“Not at all,” Shane firmly denied.

However, there was one thing he could admit.

“From now on, I’ll just say it like that, you’re my wife, that’s decided.”

Shane made the unilateral decision while holding the soft, warm little girl in his arms.

“Hey!”

Ai Yi seemed to want to object.

“No objections!”

Shane covered the mouth of the little girl in his arms, forcibly silencing her.

“Mmmph…!”

Ai Yi struggled, but to no avail.

The two continued walking forward while playfully fighting.

Lasha followed at the same pace, looking as serene as ever, though her occasional glances at the playful Shane and Ai Yi softened considerably.

You Lin was also following, watching Ai Yi being held and subdued by Shane, and felt quite impressed.

Truly worthy of being the master he recognized, even able to subdue such a formidable Dragon King. Indeed, his judgment was good; he hadn’t been mistaken.

At that moment, You Lin felt quite pleased, flying leisurely.

What Shane and the others didn’t realize was that inside a building, a group of people were sticking their heads out, watching them and seemingly communicating something.

Then, they picked up a large cloth bag and quietly followed in the direction where Shane and the others were headed.

Inside the cloth bag, a strand of blonde hair was faintly visible, along with a breath noise, as if something was in a deep sleep there.
