Although Dorothy really wanted to eat melon, the situation was not as conflicting as she imagined. At least both parties were quite calm.
"Long time no see. How have you been these past years?"
After a moment of silence, Anne took the initiative to speak and greeted her ex-wife.
Of course, she also saw her daughter Alice, who was shopping hand in hand with her. Her stepmother was not too disgusted by this, after all, she had never prohibited her daughter from contacting her father.
On the contrary, she actually hopes that Alice can have more contact with Hadid. After all, she hopes that her children can grow up in a loving environment.
Anyway, it was their fault that their relationship broke down and separated, and this should not affect their children.
"Yeah, pretty good."
The werewolf elder who was supposed to be the cold queen was actually a little shy at this time. She scratched her head at a loss, but she still nodded and answered like this.
But soon, her eyes followed Anne's hand and saw the man holding hands with her ex-wife.
For a moment, an unknown fire surged up in Hati's heart, and she felt very uncomfortable. However, she was not the kind of person who couldn't control her ferocity, so she finally endured it.
Alas, after all, she had known that Lilith had remarried many years ago, and judging from the smile on her ex-wife's face, she was living a happy life now, which was something she rarely saw when she was with her.
Also, at that time, the relationship between the two had to be secretive and could not be brought to the surface at all, for fear of being discovered.
I really can't give Lilith the future she wants.
Thinking of this, Hati felt a little bitter in his heart, but he felt relieved immediately.
She was still not sure whether the relationship between the two was actually love or not. She always felt that the attraction between the body and blood was more intense. However, this attraction suddenly dropped with the birth of Alice.
In addition, Lilith forcibly knocked herself unconscious and then performed the ceremony, which even hurt her self-esteem by bearing the magic power consumption of pregnancy alone. This made her unbearable, and finally the two completely broke up.
To be honest, their personalities are really not very suitable.
The nameless fire in her heart just now was ultimately just possessiveness, and since she couldn't go back anyway, why not let go?
At that moment, as Hattie took a deep breath, she regained her previous cool and handsome look.
Next, the two chatted a few more words, but they restrained themselves and maintained an appropriate distance between each other.
All in all, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
Dorothy eating melon in the corner: "......"
The otaku witch felt that the melon in her hand was no longer fragrant, so she simply began to secretly send messages to her old father.
"Dad, why are you just watching from the sidelines? Can you bear this?"
She started to get angry.
"Haha, is there anything I can't bear? In other words, has something happened that I need to bear?"
Adam's answer came quickly, but the old father's voice was still a little confused.
"This is Alice's biological father and Anne's ex-wife. Are you not nervous at all? Shouldn't you be more cautious at this time?"
Dorothy was quite dissatisfied with her old father's calmness.
Then, Adam's next words left her speechless.
"Why do I need to be wary? She is Annie's past, and I am Annie's present. As a winner, do I need to be wary of a loser?"
Dorothy: "......"
Ah, dad, what you said makes sense, but I am speechless.
"Dorothy, you have indeed reached this age. You have had your own opinions since you were a child. I have nothing to teach you. However, when it comes to emotional issues, my personal opinion is that we need mutual trust to last long.
Just like now, Anne is my partner, not my possession. She has her own freedom, and I have no right to interfere too much. What kind of person Anne is, as her partner, I am the most important.
Clearly, so I believe she will remain loyal to our love, just as I will be loyal to her.
Therefore, I am very confident now and will not be disturbed by the appearance of Alice's father. I hope you can be as confident as me in the future."
When the old father saw that his daughter was suddenly interested in such a topic, he thought for a while and thought that his daughter seemed to be old indeed, so he said this seriously.
As he spoke, he glanced at the strange werewolf witch beside his daughter who was eating melon with him.
Good guy, Dorothy, why is there another girl beside you? I remember when I met you before, you weren’t with this girl? Which one is my future daughter-in-law or son-in-law?
Adam suddenly began to worry about his daughter's future. Although he knew that the values of witches may be a little different from humans, there is a generation gap between him and his daughter. But, daughter, are you sure nothing will happen to you?
"Yeah, loyalty is really important."
He didn't know how to persuade his daughter not to be too bothered, so in the end he had to emphasize it like this.
Dorothy: "......"
Good guy, I even ate a mouthful of dog food after eating melon. Send it.
As for the implication of her old father's words, I'm sorry, she really didn't hear it. After all, why does she, a single person, need to consider those issues?
While the father and daughter were having a secret conversation, Anne and Hattie had also finished their conversation, and they parted politely.
"So Alice, did you have fun?"
The stepmother smiled and said to her daughter, who was still a little nervous, and then continued to hold Adam's hand and left.
Adam nodded calmly to Hattie, and finally glanced at his daughter who was still a little worried, but in the end he accompanied Annie away dotingly.
It wasn't until the oblivious couple walked away that Dorothy threw the watermelon rind in her hand into the trash can and stood up from the corner.
Alas, sometimes she really envies her father's open-mindedness and confidence, but she can't do that.
Beside her, Cassandra looked at her fourth aunt with some pity.
Although she is definitely on the side of her fourth aunt, she has to admit that her fourth aunt seems to be no match for the handsome uncle just now in the love field. His magnanimity, calmness and overwhelmingness are overwhelming.
And Alice, who had been afraid that her biological father and stepfather would fight each other, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Hattie with some worry.
"Hati, are you okay? Adam is indeed a pretty good person, Annie..."
The little witch spoke awkwardly. She wanted to comfort her father, who was still a little disappointed at this time, but she didn't know what to say. She always felt that the more she talked, the more confused she became.
But even though she has an awkward personality, she actually still quite approves of Adam as her stepfather. Although she looked down upon this mortal stepfather when they first met, but because of her sister's existence and Adam's helpless attitude over the years,
Despite his picky performance, Alice gradually recognized the other party in her heart.
Hattie: "......"
Originally, she had already looked away, but my good daughter, you comforted her, and I was really hurt.
"By the way, I suddenly thought of a fun place. Come on, let's go shopping there."
At this time, Cassandra also noticed her fourth aunt's depression, and she quickly interrupted to change the topic.
"Yeah."
Dorothy also nodded quickly. She was also speechless for this stupid sister Alice. How could anyone be so comforting?
As a result, everyone stopped queuing up to buy cakes, and instead raced alongside Cassandra, finally stopping in front of a majestic building.
"Um, arena?"
The otaku witch looked at the destination with some doubts. She turned to look at the werewolf lady who was leading the way, asking her if she had come to the wrong place.
Please, she's not an armed witch, and she doesn't like fighting. Why is she here?
"Yeah, Dragon Cry Arena, aren't you the Dragon Witch, Miss? You must really like this kind of place."
The werewolf lady, who didn't know that Dorothy's true identity was actually an earth witch, introduced her with some pride.
"This is Longming. It is the best arena besides the Kingdom of Dragons. It is also the venue for various witch duel events. However, if there are no competitions, this place is also open to the public. Many people in Night City
Celebrities like to come here for a couple of nights, and you can actually meet a lot of celebrities here. Aren’t you going to attend the Shadow Festival in the future? It’s a good choice to broaden your network here.”
Cassandra said this.
Well, she is a big star in her own right, and she likes to come here to have some fun when she is bored, so this is quite convincing.
In short, although it looks like a gladiatorial arena, this place is actually more like a high-end club such as a bar for mortals. As a war race, witches are naturally aggressive, so it is normal for witches to use this kind of place as a place for leisure and entertainment.
.
Moreover, the fourth aunt had just been frustrated in love, and the werewolf witch felt that her fourth aunt needed to relax and vent, and what better place to vent than here?
Dorothy: "......"
Who told you that the Dragon Witch...
She wanted to refute Cassandra's inherent impression of the Dragon Witch, but after careful consideration, she found that except for herself, most of the other Dragon Witches were really war-mad.
Ah this...
"Forget it, I might really have to change my career soon anyway. The arena is the arena. It's fine if I don't end up being an audience. Well, if there are more stars, there will be more beauties. Hehehe, I will
have a look."
Dorothy convinced herself so.
After all, except for herself, who was not too cold about it, everyone else including Hattie seemed to have their eyes lit up, so she didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.
But, Long Ming?
The Otaku Witch thought the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, she remembered that she had indeed heard of it before.
Well, Marquis Lecti of the Vampire Tribe once thought of her as Longming's person, and he was quite wary of it.
The Longming Society is actually the organizer of the World Duel Competition. It can be regarded as the leader of the special star category of duel stars in Night City, and has an extraordinary status in Night City.
As you can tell from the name Longming, this association is actually the property of the Dragon Witches, which is normal, after all, the armed witches respect the Dragon Witches.
Thinking of this, Dorothy couldn't help but become more interested in the building in front of her.
Well, although she herself is a pacifist and doesn't really like unprovoked fights, this doesn't actually prevent her from actually enjoying watching duels. After all, the most interesting thing than watching fights is watching women fight.
Women fight The most interesting thing is to watch beautiful women fight.
The dueling stars in those dueling competitions are all beautiful and sassy and can really fight. She really likes to watch them.
The Duel Competition is also one of the most watched events on Magic Network. Its popularity is much higher than that of the World Cup in the previous life. The only thing that can rival it is probably the occasional live broadcast of wars conducted by frontline battle groups.
Well, as a war race, entertainment activities are always so violent.
So, a group of people walked into the Longming Arena.
It can only be said that it is a high-end club. The Longming Arena is not as simple as an ordinary arena. It is surrounded by auditoriums and gives you a huge duel space in the middle.
The layout here is quite luxurious. Although it is actually the same model of auditorium and central duel arena, this auditorium does not only have rows of seats, but each one is quite comfortable and has a certain degree of privacy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not far away there are various bars, self-service drinks, self-service dining areas, etc. Of course, the most important thing is that the maids and ladies are really pretty.
Yes, all of them are dragon ladies.
Wow, those long legs, that tall figure, those beautiful dragon horns and tail...
Ahem, cough... Anyway, it's quite stylish. Even if you don't watch the game, it's nice to just eat, drink and sit here for a while.
Dorothy and her group were led by Miss Long Niang to a VIP booth. This was the front row seat and was regarded as a special seat to watch the duel below.
This is also Cassandra's exclusive seat. It can be seen that this werewolf lady is really a frequent visitor here and has become the highest member.
But Dorothy didn't care much about these. Her eyes were quickly attracted by the battle going on in the arena below.
Although the duel space in the arena below is folded, it looks like there is only one venue. In fact, many matches can be held at the same time. As long as the gladiators choose the public mode instead of the private mode that does not allow spectators, then the spectators outside the venue
We can decide which game to watch by changing the channel.
However, usually before selecting a channel, the most popular games at the time will be played by default in the arena.
And this Longming Arena is indeed a training ground for dueling stars. At this moment, the two stars are fighting below.
"Wow, it's Miss Sharon. Look, sister, I quite like her."
Alice seemed to have seen her favorite duel star, she shook Dorothy's hand and said so.
And Dorothy's eyes were also attracted by the white-haired witch below.
Hey, Witch Hunt? Frosty Snow Girl is you, and we are an acquaintance.
She raised her eyebrows and thought in her mind.
But think about it, this guy was a popular dueling star, and he was specially recruited into the Tribunal because of his excellent dueling performance, so it seems quite normal to meet her in the Longming Arena.
