After the Little Snake Secretly Laid a Dragon Egg

A young little snake came to the Dragon Clan, skinny and small, plain and unsophisticated, with a marriage contract in hand.

At first, no one thought he was good enough for the Second Prince of the Dragon Clan.

Before Xue Zhiqing had even hatched, he was promised in marriage to the Dragon Clan’s Second Prince.

Newly able to take human form, he came to the Dragon Clan as agreed to find his betrothed.

Everyone gasped:

Wow, a childhood betrothal?

The Dragon Clan members shoved the Second Prince, who was engaged to him, forward, then crowded around the two of them, hooting and hollering.

Faced with everyone, Xue Zhiqing was so nervous he could barely speak.

“You… I… the marriage contract.”

The Second Prince stood there stunned, looking him up and down with undisguised disdain.

Skinny and small, plain and unsophisticated, and only a snake with mediocre potential!

“What marriage contract? Who said I’d marry you?”

“Did I agree to marry you?”

He’d only just arrived in the Dragon Clan, and the Second Prince already seemed to hate him?

Xue Zhiqing’s days in the Dragon Clan were anything but easy.

People sabotaged him during training.

They laughed at him whenever he made a mistake.

Then, during an expedition into a secret realm, he was deliberately pushed into an abyss, left battered and struggling to survive in danger.

He regretted it. He wasn’t going through with this marriage!

As his consciousness grew hazy, a pair of long, pale hands suddenly caught him.

“Little snake, are you lost?”

With tears in his eyes and his mind clouded, Xue Zhiqing collapsed into the man’s arms,

clinging tightly to this lifeline.

“Please, save me…”

The man’s voice was like music to his ears. “I can save you, but you have to marry me.”

Xue Zhiqing nodded frantically. Anyone would do, as long as it wasn’t the Second Prince.

The man turned him back into his true form and tucked him into his arms. The injured little snake curled into a ball and was finally safe.

Wonderful! He went out for a while and came back with an unbelievably gorgeous wife!!!

[Note]

Happy ending, egg-carrying, starts out hated by everyone before becoming everyone’s darling, the pursuer gets humiliated, snake’s comeback.
