Chapter 3 — After Rebirth, Khue Mat struggled to endure suffering, I just smiled

【Chapter 3】 Ice Crystal Grass was brought back to Long Thanh, crushed and applied to the diseased area, the effect was immediately obvious. The high fever on the Dragon Clan beastman's body receded, and the fallen scales began to grow back at a speed visible to the naked eye. A plague is enough to shake the Dragon Clan's foundation, and I can easily resolve it just like that. We are no longer food that can be eaten at any time. Thuong Viem gave me a new stone house, bigger, cleaner, and even had a bed covered with soft animal skins. He also sent a young Dragon Clan beast named "Xich Nha" to take care of me. Xich Nha was the guy who initially screamed and wanted to eat me. Now, every day he brings me the tenderest grilled meat and the sweetest fruit, his eyes looking at me filled with awe.

“Master Lam Tieu, this is the deer leg that was just hunted today, please taste it.”

He brought a giant grilled deer leg in front of me, with a respectful attitude as if he was serving a god. 【Sir? This title change is too fast.】 I tore off a small piece of meat and slowly ate it.

“Xich Nha, I ask you something.”

“Sir, keep talking!”

"How do you Dragon Clan... treat your spouse?"

I pretended to ask unintentionally. Xich Nha was stunned for a moment and scratched his head.

"Life partner? Our dragon clan can only choose one life partner for the rest of its life. Once identified, we will give all the best things to her and use our lives to protect her."

“So…”

Let's stop for a moment.

“What if this partner commits betrayal?”

Xich Nha's face immediately became fierce.

"Then tear her apart! The glory of the Dragon Clan cannot be tainted!"

My heart sank. 【One person's whole life? Protect? This story is completely inconsistent with To Nhiem's experience in his previous life...] In his previous life, To Nhiem cried and told me that Thuong Viem had many women, he only saw her as a novelty toy, he got tired of playing with it and threw it away. Could it be that To Nhiem lied? Or should we say, from the beginning, To Nhiem was not considered by Thuong Viem as his "life partner"? The more I think about it, the more I feel it's not right. Although the Dragon Clan is domineering, they have a kind of arrogance and rules that are almost stubborn.

"One mate for life", this sounds more suitable to their ethnic characteristics.

Then, behind To Nhiem's tragedy, there must be hidden meanings that we do not know. While thinking, the stone house door was pushed open. Thuong Viem walked in. He had completely recovered, the silver scales in the dim stone house flashed with cold light.

“Your prediction is very accurate.”

He opened his mouth, his yellow pupils unable to detect emotions.

“I only know a few things you don't know.”

I put down the barbecue and calmly replied.

“What do you want?”

He asked very directly.

“Money? Or status?”

【It's time to trade.】 I looked at him and said seriously:

“I want to continue living, living with dignity.”

“In the Dragon Clan, dignity must be exchanged for strength.”

“I know.”

I nodded.

“So, I can bring you more value. For example, I know how to improve your weapons, how to store food through the winter, even… how to make your larvae stronger.”

I throw out the bait one by one. This is all the knowledge I brought from modern society. To this primitive beast world, it is nothing more than a overwhelming blow. Thuong Viem's eyes finally changed. He approached me, bent down, his golden pupils were almost close to my face.

“Who are you anyway?”

I can feel his hot breath, along with a strong feeling of oppression coming from his body. 【Can't tell the truth, absolutely can't.】 I lowered my eyes and said softly:

“A person... abandoned by the gods, but managed to peek a glimpse of the future.”

I packaged myself as a mystical prophet. Thuong Viem was silent for a long time. It took so long that I thought he was going to strangle me again. Finally, he stood up straight.

"From today onwards, you are... my Thuong Viem's personal advisor."

"You can freely enter and exit Long Thanh, except for restricted areas. If you need anything, just tell Xich Nha directly."

After speaking, he turned and left. I sat down on the animal skin bed, my back already drenched in cold sweat. Adviser? This fate is better than I imagined. This means that we are temporarily safe, and we also have a certain degree of freedom. My eyes looked out the window, which was the direction of the Snow Rabbit Clan. I don't know how To Nhiem is doing now. Although the Snow Rabbit tribe is kind, its territory is poor and food is lacking. With To Nhiem's pampered personality since childhood, I'm afraid one day I won't be able to handle it. 【The beautiful play has just begun.】
