Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 624: I'm no ordinary dragon cub! (29)

Chapter 4 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 29

The palace atop the mountains is solemn and magnificent. Outside the vermilion walls are neatly manicured courtyards, where colorful flowers bloom in unison, and emerald bamboo complements them.

"These are the two young masters that Phoenix Lord asked you to train?"

As if suddenly regaining consciousness from a state of chaos, Zhao Zhao opened her eyes and, through the layers of bushes, discovered a purple figure. The man was tall and slender, and just by standing there casually, he was stunning and captivating.

“Xi Yan?” Zhao Zhao recognized him.

But how did Xi Yan suddenly end up here? And wasn't I sleeping at Erstoo's house?

Just as he was about to step out of the bushes, Xi Yan stepped aside, and this time Zhao Zhao could clearly see the young man in blue robes holding a thick book in front of the desk.

The young man's long white hair fell to his waist. He simply looked up at Xi Yan, and a cold and aloof feeling came over him. Unfortunately, his face, which was devoid of any emotion, was too cold and seemed somewhat unapproachable.

"What? I've only been gone for a year, and you've already become distant with me?"

A friendly, teasing sound rang out. Xi Yan patted the boy's head, and Zhao Zhao seemed to feel something on his own head, raising his hand to tug at his hair.

what happened?

He squatted down, looking down, and only then did he notice two cubs wriggling on the floor under the desk.

Both cubs were very noisy, each with their own unique antics.

For some reason, even though Zhao Zhao didn't recognize them, her brows furrowed unconsciously, and a wave of helplessness washed over her. When she saw the rude, baring black-haired cub, she wanted to cover his mouth.

However, just as his thoughts began to surface, the young man in blue robes raised his hand and made a move—covering the mouth of the noisy child.

"Which one of you is Yue, and which one is Ye?" Xi Yan's soft laughter rang out again, but then her voice became muffled, and her vision began to blur.

"...Yue is the older brother, and Ye is the younger brother."

"He's not my brother!"

Yue? Ye?

His eyes widened in an instant. Could these two children be the two red and black phoenix eggs?!

Zhao Zhao wanted to go out and say hello to the others, but her body wouldn't move; her gaze shifted, and her thoughts drifted away...

However, when he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by Erstoo's worried, handsome face: "Little one? Had a nightmare?"

"No....."

Zhao Zhao blinked hard, and her left hand really touched Erstoo's cold cheek, while her right hand grasped the two phoenix eggs beside the pillow.

My movements are no longer clumsy, and I no longer feel powerless to do what I want to do.

"Really not? I just heard you calling Yue? Ye?"

Half-asleep, Yue vaguely heard her own name and mumbled in Zhao Zhao's mind, "It's me again?" before falling back into a deep sleep.

Two voices pulled Zhao Zhao back to reality: "...Ah? Oh, it really was a dream!"

He patted his chest and nestled into Erstoo's arms, snuggling in a pleading tone, "Erstoo, I just had a scary dream..."

With her eyes closed, she hugged the neck of the person in front of her tightly, trying to draw a sense of security from him.

Dreams aren't actually scary; it's just that the sense of loss is exhausting. The bittersweet feeling is hard to describe, and fear is the only word that comes to mind.

A large hand gently patted his back to comfort him. Erstoo's stern voice softened as he took care of the baby: "Did you have a nightmare about Yue and Ye, little one?"

Then, her tone shifted: "I knew the young master couldn't bear to part with those two phoenix eggs; now he's even having nightmares about them!"

He sat up abruptly from the bed and was about to walk out when he said, "I'll go and discuss with Neri about having the Phoenix Lord take those two Purple Mystic Crystal mines away. Our Dragon Clan doesn't care about this deal!"

"Hey hey hey!" Zhao Zhao hurriedly grabbed his clothes. The cub's strides were so large that it was even dragged a couple of steps by Erstoo, who was slow to react.

It's both funny and frustrating.

"No, no!"

"Oh dear, my dream is too complicated for you to understand, so just forget about it."

Seeing Erstoo stop, Zhao Zhao climbed all over him, using her hands and feet, and pressed his head back with her small hands, signaling him to go back to sleep.

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Your dream about Yue and Ye means you have feelings for them." On one matter, Ersto seems to be single-minded: "I don't want you to suffer any injustice."

Oh my god, I'm so touched.

Waking up from a complicated dream at night, Zhao Zhao, who was restless and agitated, was in a moment of deep emotion. He hadn't cried in a long time, but now his eyes welled up with tears because of a few words that expressed his love without reservation.

“I’m not upset, really, don’t worry about this. I did all this willingly,” Zhao Zhao buried her head in his neck, trying to make her tone sound normal. “You absolutely can’t mention this to Neri, or you’ll mess things up and I’ll make a scene.”

He kicked Erstoio lightly in the stomach.

The man held the cub for a long time without saying a word, just stroking its head and standing quietly.

Soon, Zhao Zhao's heavy breathing filled the quiet air. Erstoo patted his head and gently put him back in bed. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Zhao Zhao's sleepy eyes: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"...Did I wake you up?"

"......"

"Okay, I'll go to sleep too."

When Zhao Zhao woke up the next day, she heard Erstoo say that all the Phoenix Clan members had left, and Xi Yan had left unharmed after staying as a guest in the Dragon Clan for a few days.

Last night's dream is still vivid in my mind, and Zhao Zhao's thoughts of Xi Yan unconsciously well up in my heart.

The majestic palace with its red walls flashed through her mind. Zhao Zhao sat at the entrance of the Dragon Cave, watching the rising sun and slowly stroking the two phoenix eggs in her arms.

"Yue, tell me what the Phoenix Clan is like. I suddenly really want to hear it."

The egg in her arms stirred, its voice languid: "It's a long story, but to make it short, seeing is believing. Go see for yourself next time."

Before leaving, the Phoenix Queen personally invited Zhao Zhao, saying that he was welcome to visit the Phoenix Clan anytime.

"...What will Ye be like a hundred years from now?"

"...After he's born...next time...go by yourself..." Before he could even finish the word "go," he was suddenly thrown far away by an angry Zhao Zhao.

The red phoenix egg rolled twice on the ground, and its well-preserved shell instantly became dusty and grayish.

"Yue! Didn't you say I wouldn't live for more than a few years?! What future is there?!"

Zhao Zhao's roar successfully woke Yue up. After the sleepiness left him, he recalled his words and thought, "Damn it."

"sorry!"

Yue's voice was also quite excited: "Come, come, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you everything!"

"roll."

Zhao Zhao crossed her arms, her face cold, and strode away, the dusty phoenix egg hopping and skipping behind her.

Then I encountered a scent that was both strange and somewhat familiar.

"Young Master, has this egg upset you again?"

Erstoo had just returned to his cave with fresh fruit when he happened to witness this scene.

Their young master is gentle and obedient. If he gets angry, it must be because this egg, which awakened its spiritual power early on, angered him.

Yue felt guilty and remained motionless in the cold palm.

"Little Dragon, save me."

He dared not move, nor could he move, so he could only ask Zhao Zhao for help.

Sensing the familiar spiritual energy approaching, he immediately smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't want to part with it..."

"Cut~"

Zhao Zhao simply took the fruit from Erstoo's hand and turned around without the slightest hesitation.

"Erstoo, I don't want to see this egg today."

With a fruit in her mouth, holding Ye in her left arm and a miniature crystal bead in her right, Zhao Zhao said, "I'm going to the forest now. Goodbye."

With the Phoenix Clan matter settled, his important business was about to get back on track.

.......

The temperature in the spirit world doesn't change much throughout the four seasons, but the changing colors of the leaves in the forests show the changing of the four seasons.

The leaves fell twice, and new leaves grew again in spring. Zhao Zhao's height did not change at all. The only thing that increased was his extraordinary ability. At the same time, as the young master of the dragon clan, he also became much more sensible at a young age.

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing."

The child, surrounded by spirit beasts in the forest, stood on a flat rock, barely able to see his head so he wouldn't be crushed by a careless foot.

Zhao Zhao smiled broadly at the expectant eyes in front of her: "How about I make an exception for you today and give you an extra bubble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience. The cub smiled, his expression much more composed than before: "Everyone, please don't fight over it. The extra spot will still be decided by drawing lots."

Beside him, Irik's little assistant, Agavin, carrying a box, slowly walked towards the surrounding spirit beasts and drew lots one by one in an equal and fair manner.

With the growth of her mental strength and predictive abilities, Zhao Zhao recently learned a new skill: creating spacetime bubbles.

These bubbles have the potential to travel through time and space back to the past and future. Currently, with Zhao Zhao's abilities, he can only create one bubble almost once a week, and the bubble's ability to travel through time and space can only last for a few hours.

Unfortunately, this ability can be used on any race except dragons.

So Zhao Zhao had no choice but to go to the forest and give this opportunity to the forest's spirit beasts.

Yue quietly observed the familiar bubble and was now certain that the bubbles in the Lingze Forest were created by this little dragon.

Although their power differs greatly, their essence remains the same.

Two transparent bubbles were released by Zhao Zhao and slowly floated in the air without moving. If you didn't look closely, they seemed to blend into the surrounding air.

"Alright, I'll leave it here. The winners can go in after the draw."

Zhao Zhao was getting ready to go home for dinner when Neri urged him, "Could Agavin stay here and keep watch for a bit?"

Fearing that someone might cause trouble or refuse to cooperate, he continued to give instructions.

Agavin replied with a grin: "Received, mission accomplished."

Rules became more frequent in the forest, and the dragons got along better with other spirit beasts. Under strict prohibition, the other dragons stopped hunting animals that had developed intelligence. The dragons' brutality improved slightly, and the spirit beasts' fear of them lessened.

Everything is getting better and better.

However, a recent event has caused Zhao Zhao a great deal of distress.

"Don't be silly, little one. You're growing, so you have to eat some meat this time." Nari carefully held the golden spoon and bowl, bending down gently to coax Zhao Zhao to eat some meat.

In the past two years, the cubs have only grown in spirit but not in size, and they only eat fruit and not meat, which has worried a large number of dragon parents to death.

According to Franger's sweeping conclusion, it was because Zhao Zhao didn't eat meat that she ended up with insufficient nutrition.

Although Neri didn't attribute all the reasons to diet, she still felt that it had some influence.

So these past few days, I've started cooking different dishes for Zhao Zhao: "These are really just ordinary animals, small animals that haven't developed intelligence yet, but the meat is quite good."

“I’m sure you’ll like it after just one bite,” Neri said, pushing the spoon forward, and Zhao Zhao took a step back.

"No no no."

Zhao Zhao shook her head slowly and took a bite of fruit: "I suddenly have something to do, so I'll be going now."

He grinned, turned and ran, leaving Neri alone standing in the Dragon Cave with a bowl in his hand.

The bright sunlight shone through the cave entrance and into the cave, making the golden bowls and chopsticks sparkle. This was something Neri had specially made to cheer him up.

Once out of Neri's sight, the smile on Zhao Zhao's face finally faded.

"Yue, I want to go to the Phoenix Clan..."

Yue suddenly came to his senses: "Why?!" Although he really wanted to go home, he was more concerned about Zhao Zhao's feelings.

Recently, Xiaolong has been spacing out and being absent-minded, which makes Yue a little worried.

"Some... worries?"

Zhao Zhao placed her palm on her chest, her eyes blank.

For the past two years, he has been having dreams, and the scenes in his dreams revolve around a white-haired boy in blue robes who is also named "Zhaozhao".

Previously, he could treat his dreams as a movie, but recently, he could even empathize with the boy's every move and smile in his dreams.

Things are getting complicated. It seems the system is hiding something from him. He discovers that the "Zhao Zhao" in his dream seems to be himself.

In my dream yesterday, the Phoenix Queen passed away, and Yue and Ye officially became the Phoenix Queens.

Yue didn't understand: "What are you worried about regarding my home?"

Xiao Long was so strange that Yue seriously suspected he was annoyed with her and wanted to send her back to the Phoenix Clan ahead of schedule.

"Is it alright if I'm still concerned about those two purple crystal mines in the Lingze Forest?"

Zhao Zhao rolled her eyes, speechless: "I haven't watched them for two years. Is it a problem that I'm still thinking about them now?"

Yue: "Oh." I hope so.

"But it's no use telling me about going to the Phoenix Clan. You should go ask your fathers who treat you like the apple of their eye."

The Phoenix Clan is far from the Dragon Clan, and when traveling to the Phoenix Clan, the cubs always need someone to escort them.

"Okay, then I'll go find Neri!"

Yue: ?

You're really going if it's not your ancestor?!

Without a word, the action-oriented Zhao Zhao returned to the front of the Nali Dragon Cave. Sensing the familiar aura of the man, she slowly turned her head, her smile gentle and charming: "Little one."

Zhao Zhao smiled brightly: "Nari, I want to go to the Phoenix Clan, will you take me?"

Neri, appearing quite agreeable, asked, "Is it because the Phoenix Clan has a lot of fruit?"

Just when Zhao Zhao was worried about not having an excuse, she nodded and her eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes."

Neri smiled gently: "Then you definitely can't go."

"Let's go to the Phoenix Clan again when we're no longer picky eaters and want to eat meat."
