Lionheart City, City Lord's Mansion.

Fifteen-year-old Joanna, wearing rubber boots and a straw hat, squatted on the ground, clearing away pebbles in the garden with a small hoe.

Brandon, the butler, always took care of the flowers and plants in the garden. When he was alive, he would feel heartbroken for a long time if a maid accidentally knocked over a flower in the garden.

If she, the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion, wanted to pick a few flowers to decorate her room, Brandon would simply bring a pot of transplanted flowers to her bedroom door.

Don't give her the chance to cut the flowers in the garden.

Sometimes she wondered if the disappearance of the flowers and plants in the garden was because Brandon the butler was afraid they would suffer, so he took them with him to the other side to continue taking care of his plants.

At least leave her something. She didn't leave any last words, and she couldn't even leave her any flowers or plants. It's not like she didn't know how to take care of plants.

He couldn't bear to leave her even a single flower or plant, and he broke his promise, even though he said he would watch her get married and help her take care of her children.

As a result, she slept a little more soundly that night, and when she woke up in the middle of the night, the butler Brandon had already passed away.

I can't think about it anymore, or I'll lose my little pearl.

The housekeeper said that it's better for little girls to smile more.

A maid came to the garden entrance. "Miss, someone has come to visit. He says that the late Butler Brandon was his student and he has some questions for you. Would you like to see him?"

"Brandon's tutor?" Joanna put down her small hoe, stood up and took off her straw hat. "Please come to the living room. I'll tidy up and personally entertain Brandon's tutor."

"Yes, miss."

The maid turned and left.

Brandon's butler's teacher must be here to investigate the cause of Brandon's death.

After a quick wash, Joanna changed into a black dress in her bedroom and came to the living room.

Are there guests? Are they Father's guests?

"Aren't Father's guests dressed a bit too festively?" Joanna frowned slightly.

Father's guest was a young man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was tall and handsome, wearing a purple-red suit that resembled Swallow-tailed Coat but not quite, and shiny leather shoes.

His eyes were a striking gold-red, and he sported a slicked-back hairstyle. Come to think of it, in the last year, the butler Brandon, had also suddenly taken a liking to that style.

And it was accompanied by a little girl. Not a little girl, but a little Amethyst Dragon?

Dragon Knight? Joanna glanced at her father's guest, then looked away, searching for Brandon's butler's teacher.

"Janice, come here for a moment."

A girl dressed as a maid obediently approached Joanna.

"Didn't I tell you to welcome Brandon's butler's tutor into the hall? Where is he? You didn't lead him to Father's study, did you?"

"Miss, that young-looking man is Brandon's tutor."

The maid Janice was also a little incredulous that Brandon's teacher was so young. She had heard that powerful Extraordinary Person could fix their appearance at a certain age.

Brandon's butler's teacher has a small Amethyst Dragon, so he must be a Dragon Knight.

Dragon Knight are all very powerful.

What? This young man in the flashy purple outfit is Brandon's butler's tutor?

Not Father's guest? Joanna was stunned, then began to doubt the young man's identity.

"You're the kid Brandon was talking about? Not bad, not bad, you're a cute kid, just a bit thin."

"Excuse me, are you really Brandon's tutor?"

"Um."

"He's dead, you know that?"

"I know." Lance, sitting on the sofa, pointed to the sofa opposite him and smiled at Joanna, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Okay, thank you?"

This is her home, why should she say thank you? Besides, this young man keeps calling her "child," even more naturally than her grandfather does. "Child, you can call me Grandpa Lance. Of course, if you think my face looks too young and you can't bring yourself to say it, next time you come, I can wear a kind-looking, older face."

Changing his face to look older was a simple matter for him; otherwise, why would the members of the Bronze Bounty Guild call him Old Man Lance? The young dragon, squatting on the sofa, could hardly bear to look at the evil dragon transformed into a human.

Having grown accustomed to the ferocious face of the dragon, the sudden transformation of the dragon into a young man in a flashy purple suit felt strange, very strange.

Before, when she was crouching next to the evil dragon, she felt like a young dragon.

Now, squatting beside the dragon, she felt like her contracted dragon, her mount. She asked the dragon why he was wearing a flashy purple suit, and the dragon stroked her bald head and smiled without saying a word. Father-daughter outfit, can you tell me?

However, when she and the evil dragon appeared in front of the City Lord's Mansion's mansion and stood side by side, she understood.

For the sake of color matching!

She is Amethyst Dragon. The evil dragon wears a flashy purple suit to match the color of her dragon scales.

Fear.

In the human world, this would be considered matching couple outfits.

Also, are you serious about getting a fairly cute and pretty human girl to call you "Grandpa Lance" right off the bat?

Is the dragon afraid that human girls will like him?

Or is he afraid that the human girl might have some inappropriate thoughts about him?

"My name is Lucia, Miss Joanna. May I lie down on the sofa?"

Sitting in a squatting position, her dragon tail couldn't swing, which was uncomfortable. If she could, she would like to lie on the sofa.

This is someone else's home. It's not appropriate to lie on someone's sofa without their permission.

If only I could shrink a little smaller, I could lie on the dragon's back, or on its head. The head is fine, with its shiny black hair. But what if its belly gets all oily? I'd have to wash it then. "Huh? You spoke! Is that okay?"

The talking baby dragon is cute, and its bald, purple head is even cuter. "May I call you Lance?"

"If you don't want to call me Grandpa Lance, you can call me Uncle Lance."

"."

Does he have to be my elder? "How will you prove you're Brandon's tutor?"

"I know your hobbies, I know your embarrassing childhood stories, I even know how old you were when you wet your pants, and I even know what you used to do when you were little by playing in the mud. Besides these, I also know some things that you and Brandon went through together."

Joanna blushed, her face turning bright red when Lance mentioned knowing about her childhood experiences playing in the mud.

Only the maid who raised her and the butler knew about this.

The young man in front of me seemed to know this, or perhaps he was just guessing. After all, what child hasn't played like that when they were one or two years old? Isn't it normal to do some ignorant things at such an innocent age? "How old? How old was I when I played in the mud?"

"One year and seven months old, summer. The location was the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Your father was drinking tea, and you were playing."

"Stop talking."

"What did I agree to with the butler?"

"Watching you get married, taking care of your children, and then secretly delivering love letters to you when you find someone you love. You even stole his pocket money."

"Alright, alright. You might really be Brandon's teacher, so are you here to investigate Brandon's death?"

"No, I will inherit the gold coins."

"???"

Wasn't I here to be a spiritual mentor? PS1: Old friends, I'm writing Chapter 2 right now, please wait a bit.

PS2: I'd like to recommend a new book by a great author. Here's the synopsis: [Please remember, each reincarnation is your entire life.]

[Every end is the beginning of a new cycle for you.]

Gu Jiangming smiled. He had lived a life of constant anxiety, and all he wanted was to ask was if he could have a quick reincarnation experience, just for a moment of pleasure?

Having been in the world for three years, Gu Jiangming only has this one cheat ability: the ability to reincarnate through life, but without any reward—purely a pretty but useless cheat.

In the cycle of reincarnation, he served as a servant who had never completed the body-refining stage in a hundred years, a guard who did not enter the mortal realm but looked after other people's courtyards, and also the most destitute beggar in the capital.

But each time it ended in a dismal failure.

Until one day, Gu Jiangming finally achieved the title of "Sword Immortal," making a name for himself and suppressing the Heavenly Abyss with a single sword. He also founded the Shushan Sect. In order to promote the name of Shushan, he was determined to save the world and help the people. Later, by chance, he formed a relationship with a demon, but was attacked and killed by all the sects on Shushan. In the end, he met his death.

Immediately following, a notification appeared. "[Reincarnation complete, save file saved]".

In this mortal world, a ruined and destroyed site of the Shu Mountain Sect was added, and in the legends of the demon realm, a Empress who ruled alone for eternity was added.

As Gu Jiangming's save file grew larger and larger.

When the fate of reincarnation came knocking, and she had to find her husband's reincarnation, Gu Jiangming was drenched in sweat.

What's going on? Did my wife's dream come true?
