As the last Golden Dragon in this world, she had died after being struck by lightning during her tribulation because she’d slacked off on her cultivation.
What an unjust death.
What was even more infuriating was that before she could even open her eyes, someone smacked her on the bottom.
She opened her mouth in anger, wanting to let out a Dragon’s Roar, but strangely, all that came out was an “Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh” sound.
Dragon Cub: ?
“Comrade Lu, congratulations on giving birth to a daughter. The child’s vital signs are all normal, and her cries are very strong.”
She tried hard to open her eyes, but everything in front of her was as if seen through a watery mist, blurry and unclear.
Soon, the Dragon Cub felt her face being pressed against soft skin.
In an instant, many images of the future flooded her mind.
It seemed she had transmigrated into an unknown world.
Her father was a soldier named Xu Zhijun.
Her mother was a doctor named Lu Jingyi.
Her father and his sister-in-law were childhood sweethearts. Out of jealousy for her mother, the sister-in-law had taken labor-inducing medicine ahead of time, causing them to give birth at almost the same time, and she had even swapped their two babies.
For the next few decades, she would suffer endless abuse.
Growing up, she never had enough milk to drink, never wore nice clothes, and was beaten and scolded at the slightest provocation.
In the end, her birth mother couldn’t bear the years of injustice she had suffered and wanted to seek justice for her. However, she was tricked by this body’s father into taking medication that induced heart disease for years. In a fit of rage and grief, her mother suffered a fatal heart attack and passed away.
She herself died in a sea of fire.
The little Dragon Cub clenched her small fists in anger.
Mom, look at your cub, quickly! I’m about to be swapped by your sister-in-law.
I don’t want to go hungry, have no one to treat me when I’m sick, and have no clothes to wear, boohoohoo…
Suddenly hearing the milky little voice, Lu Jingyi thought she had misheard.
She tried to look in the direction the voice came from, only to see the baby’s chubby little hands waving.
Before she could make another move, she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
“Comrade Lu has fallen asleep. Let’s send her to the ward.”
The little cub, being picked up again, looked reluctantly at the woman who had already passed out.
“Doctor, how is my daughter?”
“She’s fine, just tired and fell asleep. She’ll wake up in a few hours. Congratulations, Auntie, Comrade Lu gave birth to a daughter.”
“Really! That’s wonderful! Where’s the baby? Let me hold her.”
Just as the Dragon Cub was about to get a good look at the speaker, a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she fell asleep again.
When she woke up next, she heard the sound of a door opening.
“Auntie, did Comrade Lu have a daughter?”
“Yes, she’s sleeping. I’ll take you in to see.”
“No, no, I can go see for myself. Auntie, you go on with your business.”
“Then you go sit in the ward for a bit. I’m going to pay the fees, I’ll be right back.”
“Okay, you got it.”
Soon, the Dragon Cub heard footsteps drawing closer.
A middle-aged woman walked up to her, glanced around warily, and then tried calling Lu Jingyi’s name.
Seeing no reaction from the unconscious woman on the bed, she quickly picked up the baby.
She’s here to swap the babies.
Mom!
The Dragon Cub had just opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, the sneaky woman covered it.
The woman carried her and walked out.
As the door closed, the Dragon Cub could only glance one more time at the woman lying on the hospital bed.
Mom!
Soon, the sneaky woman had moved her to a new ward.
The Dragon Cub watched as she carried another baby out.
She clenched her little fists to cheer herself on.
It was okay. She would protect herself.
Once she could talk, she would tell her mother that she was her real daughter.
She leisurely blew a bubble, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
