Wright was a little confused.
"I don't quite understand. How can I choose? I'm not superstitious. Boys and girls are both my children. I like them all."
Tana shook her head: "This is not superstition. My matriarchal clan is a little special. As long as you are willing and have sex with the opposite sex, a baby will definitely be born, and the gender is also determined by the conception of the conceiver. But it can only be the first child."
This was the first time Wright had heard of this bizarre racial talent.
But in a way, it's pretty convenient.
If you want to have a baby, have it. If you don’t want to have a baby, don’t have it.
"It's up to you, Sister Xianlong. I really don't care."
Tana thought about it after hearing this.
"Then let's have a boy. Let him harm other people's babies in the future."
Wright smiled helplessly.
Tana looks ethereal, but actually she has a bit of a mischievous side in her heart.
But that's also what makes her charming.
While Wright was happy, he thought of Lai's matter again.
Seeing that Wright had a sad face, Tana asked caringly, "Little Wright, why are you unhappy again?"
"I ran into Lai on my way here."
"Is it your child with Village Chief Candice?"
Wright nodded, quite helplessly.
"Yes, except that I didn't participate in the growth of that little guy."
"That's not your problem."
"But when the little girl grabbed my arm in the moonlight and said, 'Daddy, don't leave,' I felt that she really needed me."
"Don't try to challenge Candice, especially you now, Little Wright. You have completed their tasks, and you have become dispensable. If Candice really wants you dead, all of us combined can't do it."
Tana reminded Wright seriously, but the struggling emotions still lingered in Wright's mind.
"Don't think so much, just go to sleep."
Wright sighed softly and fell asleep in Tana's arms.
The next day, in Vivian's room, Wright's little dragons were sitting in rows, quietly attending class.
The lecturer was Wright's eldest daughter, Laikila.
Vivian: This is the discipline of the supervisor's classroom.
This class is about the absorption and transformation of elements.
Laqila spoke very convincingly, and even Wright, who was listening, understood a little bit.
But only a little.
Wright has already learned the most basic theoretical knowledge of magic in this world, let alone the advanced ones.
For these gifted little dragon cubs, some things are innate and do not need to be learned at all.
"Leia is not allowed to origami in class."
"Lelo, no sleep."
"Laila, stop disturbing Letia's studies. If you keep doing this, we'll separate the two of you."
"Lefa, what are you looking at?"
Leifa seems somewhat innocent.
"Aunt Vivian."
Vivian corrected, "In class, call the teacher."
"Teacher Vivian."
"what happened?"
"My mother is lying on the window outside. I'm scared."
Chapter 53 I'll use my life to exchange for my daughter not becoming yours
When Wright heard this, his body twitched.
It’s no wonder that Leifa was scared. Sata’s face pressed against the window was scarier than a ghost.
This can easily leave a shadow on children.
Seeing this, Lailian burst into laughter.
"Sata auntie is so funny."
Vivian scolded, "Don't laugh."
Vivian turned around, opened the door, and scolded Sata loudly. Sata scratched his head, chuckled, and ran away.
But when Vivian came back, she gave Wright a look that told him to get out.
Wright didn't understand, but followed Vivian out.
"Call me out, what's the matter?"
Vivian didn't say anything, but looked towards a fruit tree in the distance. Lai's body was hidden behind the tree, but a corner of him was still clearly exposed.
"I came out to chase Sata away, but I saw Lai in the corner. When Lai saw me coming out, she ran behind a tree. The tree should be big enough to hide Lai, but she exposed such a clear part of herself, probably wanting to be discovered by others."
As she spoke, Vivian looked at Wright.
There is no one here except Wright.
With such a clear statement, how could Wright remain unmoved?
Wright went there alone and came to Lai's side. Wright once again spoke to Lai in a gentle tone.
"Why is Lai hiding here alone?"
Lai poked his head out from behind the tree, his pretty face filled with sadness that shouldn't be there at this time.
Wright really didn't know what to say to comfort her.
"Daddy, why is mommy different from other aunties?"
"Why, everyone can be together, but I can't."
"I also want to be treated gently, and I also want to be with everyone. I don't want to be alone. Daddy, please help Lai. Lai doesn't want this."
As his father, Wright was a little overwhelmed by the sudden outpouring of his feelings.
Just as Wright was about to say something, the voice arrived late.
"Lai, you are my daughter, destined to be the queen of the unified dragon clan. You must not be willful. Coveting your father's tenderness will only harm you. Come back with me. Today's training is not over yet."
"No, I won't go back." Lai responded very forcefully.
Candice was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that Lei had rebelled against her. Candice looked at Wright. She knew that it was Wright's gentleness that nurtured Lei's rebellious psychology.
The tone also became lower.
"Lai, don't challenge my patience, come back with me."
Lai's body was shaking. His first rebellion was ultimately no match for the powerful aura.
Len let go of his father's hand, but this time, Wright held it tightly.
"Candice, I want to talk to you about Lai."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance if you can convince me."
In Candice's room, Wright faces Candice.
This was the first time he came to her room in this way.
"Are you too harsh on Lai?"
Candice responded seriously:
"This world is too harsh. It's not my intention to treat Lai like this."
Then Candice said:
"You don't understand at all what responsibility she has to bear."
Wright tried his best to calm himself down.
"I don't understand. But I'm also her father, and I don't want to see you not even giving Lai a chance to breathe."
Candice asked back:
"Then do you think that if I don't agree, she can sneak away from me?"
Candice's words left Wright speechless for a moment.
"Since your goal is to make Lai a lonely king, why do you want her to see the warmth that does not belong to her? Such a contrast will destroy her bit by bit."
"This is what Lai has to go through. If she can't bear this, she doesn't deserve to be my daughter."
Candice lied here.
Wright's eyes widened and turned red. He was extremely angry.
He was extremely angry that such irresponsible words could come out of Candice's mouth.
"You've gone too far."
Candice heard this and didn't intend to explain.
"How I am is my business, and you are just a tool. I hope you can understand your own identity. You are no longer as important as before."
These words were like a thorn, piercing Wright's heart.
Sure enough, in her eyes, I am just a pawn, a tool after all.
Wright couldn't help but sneer.
Although these words are a bit heartbreaking, they are facts that cannot be changed.
Candice knew that what she said was a bit too much, so she explained: "I am Lai's mother, I will not harm her. When she grows up, she will understand me and even thank me."
Even when Candice said those words that belittled Wright, Wright just sneered.
But he really couldn't stand it, so he put pressure on Lai under the guise of being Lai's mother, saying that he would not harm her and that it was all for her good.
"Yes, I am just a tool. Now that your goal has been achieved, I am dispensable. It is you who gave me charity and gave me this opportunity to convince you in front of you. But from beginning to end, you never listened to what I said seriously, nor did you think about listening."
"If I had the power, I would never give Lai to you."
Candice's patience is running out.
"What do you want to say?"
"You're not fit to be a mother."
The next second after he finished saying this, Candice grabbed his throat. "You are too self-righteous, human."
As he said that, he threw Wright aside.
Wright was thrown so hard that he vomited blood.
Wright struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"So what if I'm self-righteous, Candice? Aren't you also a self-righteous bastard? If you really have the ability, you won't force your child to do something you can't do. You say you love me, but you have a knife in your hand. You are using your love to tear out Lai's heart. Your current situation has proved that you are on the wrong path."
"You can really die," Candice warned.
Wright laughed, a little crazy.
"It doesn't matter. If I can use my worthless life to prevent Lai from becoming the next you, repeating the path you've taken, and experiencing your failures again, I'm willing to do it."
"After I die, Lai will remember that her father gave his life for her. I have no feelings for you, and I never need your approval. Your heart is too cold, and no one can really enter your heart. You deserve to live alone in this life."
Wright's words hit Candice right in the heart.
But Candice politely let Wright say his last words, and then prepared to pierce his chest with her black fire dragon claws.
