Evie, noticing the dragon’s gaze, stood stiff as DS spoke.
“You don’t have to be so afraid.”
“You know I’ve been bitten by a dog.”
“Such a remark is impolite to the children of Tardes……”
When DS lowered his voice in reproof, Evie hurriedly closed her mouth.
Then, she glanced at a group of dragons resting in the meadow.
In Tiendavis, these red dragons are referred to as ‘Tardes’ Children.’
Because they are the incarnations of Twilight Dragon Tardes, who hid after being deeply wounded.
Tardes was as essential to the world’s existence as Manyanya.
If Manyanya purified the seawater for Tiendavis, the one who drew that water from the vast sea was Tardes, who controlled the atmosphere.
But after being severely wounded in the war with the corpses, and unable to perform its role, Tardes created beings to replace it.
These were the small dragons, Tardes’ Children.
Not only did Tardes’ Children stabilize the atmosphere and draw up seawater to replace their mother, but they also carried people between Tienda and Vis.
However, taming or owning them like livestock was taboo.
Originally, dragons were sacred and wise beings that cared for humans.
As the incarnations of such beings, people had to duly respect Tardes’ Children.
Even if they persistently sniffed and hovered around humans.
“Then please wait a moment, I’ll find someone to carry us.”
Leaving the distressed Evie behind, DS approached the dragons sitting in the field.
To ride Tardes’ Child, one must first ask for help and receive permission.
Left alone with one of Tardes’ Children, Evie awkwardly began a conversation.
“Um, do you have anything to say to me? Why are you looking at me like this…? Ah, could it be…?”
Feeling overwhelmed by Tardes’ Child’s attention, Evie belatedly realized something in her pocket.
It was a large chocolate cookie. Thinking it might be needed as emergency rations for going to Vis, she had carelessly brought it along.
When Evie took the cookie out of her pocket, Tardes’ Child’s eyes gleamed, so Evie hesitantly offered it.
“Er, would you like this?”
As soon as Evie offered, the dragon devoured the cookie in one bite.
At that moment, DS reprimanded her from a few steps away.
“Evie, you shouldn’t have done that.”
“Ah, is it wrong to give something like a cookie?”
“No, if you give it to one, the others will protest.”
“Eeek!”
Certainly, here’s the translation as per your guidelines:
As soon as DS’s words fell, Tardeus’s daughters flocked to Evie, who had seen the cookies.
Then they began to poke at Evie with their mouths, as if to tell me to give them some too.
“Oh, don’t do this. There’s no more. Ouch……”
Among the daughters, some were hitting the floor with their wings or rummaging directly through Evie’s pocket with their forelimbs.
Evie had almost fainted, already scared as the dragons surrounded her.
But then, one of the daughters who had taken a cookie from Evie roared at her sisters.
The dragons who had been tormenting Evie quietly backed off at the shouting that Evie and DS could not hear.
And one of those daughters went and lay down in front of DS.
“It looks like she will carry us.”
Whether it was a reward for the cookies, the daughter obediently offered her back.
So DS carefully put the saddle he had brought on top of her.
After securing the reins, Evie and DS mounted the daughter’s back together.
The red dragon ran straight towards the hill and threw itself into the void at the edge of the cliff.
Evie, who had followed the crash, felt her heart being pulled upward.
In the moment she was about to scream in frustration, the dragon flapped its wings and soared.
Evie, who was just able to breathe, looked up. Tien, already far away, was in sight.
That large and small continent was shrouded in rainbows here and there, because of the large streams of water and spray falling into Bis.
Evie looked at Tien for a while and then bowed her head.
Then an endlessly spread continent came into her eyes. It was Bis.
How long had it been since she saw Bis.
Reunited with that hateful and missed world, Evie felt a mixture of emotions.
But there was no time to be absorbed in sentimentality.
Because the daughter of Tardeus, who had been carrying Evie and DS smoothly, suddenly stopped in midair.
The daughter stayed leisurely flapping in the air, and DS, tied in the air with her, asked what it meant.
“Why are you doing this?”
Normally, they would continue to fall and drop Evie and DS directly below Tien, in the Wind Valley.
But the daughter stopped at a dizzying height and began to circle around the same spot.
Evie, surprised, grabbed the saddle, and DS, also surprised, grabbed Evie’s shoulder who was sitting in front.
Even when the reins were pulled, the daughter only shook her head and did not listen. However, there was no rough feeling in her behavior.
So DS asked hesitantly.
“Perhaps you want to take us to our destination?”
The daughter nodded her head vigorously to DS’s words.
It was a quite exceptional treatment for Tardeus’s daughter to personally take them. So DS stated their destination without hesitation.
“We are heading southeast. We ask you to take us to the junction between the border and the southern city.”
Tardeus’s daughter flapped her wings hard as if she understood, and began to fly southeast like an arrow.
…
…
…
Tardeus’s daughter covered the twoday distance by carriage in just one hour.
It was rare for the daughters to leave Wind Hill and Wind Valley, and Evie and DS had struck quite a windfall with a single cookie.
“We’ve saved quite a bit of travel time thanks to this.”
DS muttered at the junction of the southeast where they had arrived in an instant.
It was good to come comfortably and quickly, but the day to meet the collaborator was set.
So DS thought they would have to stay nearby and wait without any schedule changes.
But Evie’s thoughts were slightly different.
“This means we have about two days to spare, right?”
“Yes, we have free time until the morning of three days later.”
“Then can we visit another city? It’s not far from here.”
Evie’s expression as she said this was inescapably earnest.
In fact, since DS’s collaborator told her to come to the southeast, Evie’s heart had been constantly pounding.
Certainly, here is the translated passage:
Because the southeastern region was where Evie met the astrologer, and the area where she spent time with him.
“It should be fine. If it’s a city within the southeastern region.”
Seeing Evie’s expression, DS followed without objection.
So Evie, suppressing her anticipation and prepared for disappointment, headed toward her hometown, mixed with painful memories and warm recollections.
And there, she encountered a person she never could have imagined.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
