Chapter 13: Raise This Mini Dragon to Be My Wife
Understanding Dragonite’s meaning, Chen Nian turned to Jiang Shuying and said:
“Forget about getting a powerful Dragonite!”
“With your current strength, you can’t even conquer them, let alone earn their recognition!”
“I discussed it with my Dragonite, and there’s a Mini Dragon that lost its parents—it might be a good fit for you…”
“Now, tell me what you think. If you’re fine with it, I’ll go talk to the Dragonite clan’s leader…”
……
Hearing Chen Nian’s words, Jiang Shuying felt a surge of emotion in her heart, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
Softly, she said:
“Chen Nian… you really don’t have to do so much for me. I… I don’t know how to repay you…”
“Why do women always overcomplicate things?” Chen Nian cut her off. “Didn’t I tell you? If you want to repay me, at least get strong enough first. Right now, just answer—do you want to try or not? If your brain’s still stuck, we can leave right now…”
……
Though his words sounded harsh, Jiang Shuying knew he was still looking out for her.
Biting her delicate lip lightly, she closed her eyes briefly before reopening them.
This time, her gaze was clearer than ever:
“I understand, Chen Nian. I’m willing to try!”
“Thank you… In the future, I—”
Before she could finish, Chen Nian waved his hand and walked ahead.
“If you’re willing to try, then stop wasting time. I’ll go talk to the Dragonite leader—wait here.”
……
Watching Chen Nian’s retreating figure, a strange light flickered in Jiang Shuying’s dark pupils. She stayed silent, keeping certain decisions locked in her heart.
……
After about five minutes, Chen Nian finished negotiating with the Dragonite leader.
Soon, the little Mini Dragon was brought over!
“Human, if you wish to take this Mini Dragon, you must first earn its consent!”
“From now on, you may try to communicate with it… Don’t worry, it will understand you.”
The Dragonite leader spoke telepathically, and Jiang Shuying grasped its meaning.
“I understand, Dragonite leader!”
“I’ll do my best to earn its trust in my own way!”
“Thank you… I’ll go try now…”
After she spoke, Chen Nian pointed to an empty spot nearby.
“Take the little one over there and have a proper chat. If it agrees, bring it back.”
“Okay, I’ll try!”
Jiang Shuying walked up to the Mini Dragon, bending her slender legs as she crouched down gently.
“Little one, can we talk for a bit?”
Though Jiang Shuying was beautiful, her looks held little appeal for the Mini Dragon—especially since it was female.
Seeing the human crouch before it, the Mini Dragon instinctively shrank back slightly.
Watching this, Chen Nian teased:
“Seems like the famous school beauty’s charm isn’t working, huh?”
“Your ‘seduction tactics’ won’t work on a Mini Dragon…”
Jiang Shuying’s cheeks flushed slightly at his teasing. She glanced up at him, shooting him a coquettish glare that seemed to make flowers bloom in the air.
Quickly adjusting her tone, she spoke to the Mini Dragon in the gentlest, most sincere voice she could muster.
“Don’t be afraid, I just want to talk to you.”
“Give me a little time, okay?”
As she finished, the Dragonite leader let out a few reassuring growls to the Mini Dragon.
Only then did the little dragon let out a soft “Mmm…”, as if agreeing.
……
Jiang Shuying stretched out her fair, delicate hands and gently picked up the Mini Dragon, cradling it in her arms.
The beautiful school beauty and the adorable Mini Dragon walked off together, while Chen Nian made no move to disturb their exchange.
The Dragonite leader soon left, and Chen Nian lay back on the grass, leisurely basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
His own Dragonite nudged his head affectionately against Chen Nian’s hair before letting out a few quiet growls.
“Master… so, can I really raise the Mini Dragon to be my wife?”
“Why would I lie? You think this plan won’t work?”
“No, it’s just… I suddenly feel a little excited…”
A rare, almost shy expression appeared on Dragonite’s face—as if it was already daydreaming about its future bliss.
Seeing his Pokémon’s hopelessly lovestruck look, Chen Nian sat up cross-legged.
“Why do you suddenly look so thrilled?”
“Is this all you think about all day?”
Dragonite growled again, and this time, Chen Nian understood exactly why it was so excited.
Turns out, this Mini Dragon’s mother had once been the most beautiful female Dragonite in the clan. Back then, his Dragonite had secretly admired her—but she ended up choosing another mate.
Now, Dragonite was convinced the Mini Dragon would grow up even more stunning than her mother. Just the thought of it made him feel like he was about to reach the peak of dragon life.
