A dazzling array of rubies was presented to Bo Jichen, almost blinding his 24K aluminum alloy eyes, and his inner voice jumped up in excitement.

So many gems! What a beautiful nest! Heavens and earth, it's such a waste to let his little dragon egg sleep there!

"General Bo Jichen!" Cangying saw that Bo Jichen was staring at the nest in his hand and hesitated to take it, so he called out again and asked, "Was my request too abrupt?"

Bo Jichen snapped out of his daze, wiping away non-existent drool. He reached out and scooped up the nest, weighing the enormous creature in his hand: "This nest has quite a history."

This is an old lair, and the faint scent of an old dragon still lingers there, meaning that more than one dragon has slept in this lair, and for quite some time.

Because of the long passage of time, some of the old dragon's aura will remain on the nest. This aura not only does not harm the dragon, but if one is destined to encounter it, one can absorb it for one's own use. This aura is like a blessing or gift from the old dragon.

Cangying was a straightforward dragon, without any ulterior motives, and truthfully replied, "It was left to me by my dragon father."

Bo Jichen suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It's a treasure. Okay, take it to the egg inside. Hopefully, it won't jump around and make a fuss and refuse to sleep."

It was given to him by his father, and it has the significance of inheritance. Even though he is shameless and brazen, he still cannot steal a family heirloom without any bottom line.

Cangying hesitated for a moment, then reminded him again: "General Bo Jichen, if that egg is too naughty, send me a message or call my communications, and I will come and take it away."

Bo Jichen felt his sharp mind was still being corroded by the dazzling gemstone, and he hadn't realized that he was hearing Cangying want his egg again, whereas before it was coaxing the egg.

Do those shameless little dragon eggs need to be coaxed? If they don't behave, just give them a good whack, and that'll be it.

“Well, Your Excellency Cangying, that little green egg now belongs to my Majesty.” Bo Jichen reminded him, “Even if it’s naughty, there’s no reason for you to coax it or take it away.”

Cangying was speechless for a moment, his eyes flickering. He had no grounds for argument and could not find any words to refute him: "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

Bo Jichen waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as you know that green egg belongs to our family, nothing else matters. Thank you for the nest. I'll take it inside and see if it sleeps there..."

Bo Jichen turned around as he spoke, his heart filled with excitement. Ah, ah, I have an excuse to go back to my room, an excuse to go inside. If I can go inside, how far am I from being able to hug and kiss you?

It's not far away, it's almost here. Soon I'll be able to hug and kiss my own little one, and sleep with my own little one tonight.

Just as Bo Jichen was happily humming a song, suddenly, the situation changed. Yan Liu opened the door and called out to him, "Mr. Bo Jichen, could you please come in and watch the two children for me? I'll be right back."

With a thud, Bo Jichen heard the sound of his heart breaking. His feet turned uncontrollably, and he turned to the door of Yanliu's room: "Okay, go ahead."

In front of outsiders, one cannot fail to give Yanliu face, especially since the two children in the house are the hope of the Troya Empire and the apple of the Troya people's eyes.

Forget it, I'll sacrifice myself for the greater good. It's just looking after the kids for a bit, no big deal. It's a good opportunity to go in and take pictures to show off to my sweetheart. I need to let him know that he's the most trustworthy person in the entire galaxy.

Yanliu had changed her clothes. She was wearing a red silk slip dress underneath a black wide-sleeved robe. The red-inside-black-outside robe had emerald green eyes and black hair, half of which was tied up with a willow branch. Her beautiful and captivating features shone brightly under the light.

When Cangying saw her walking towards him, his gaze seemed to be fixed on her alone for a moment, and he could no longer see anyone else.

Under his gaze, Yanliu walked up to him, crossed her arms, her sleeves drooping, her eyes exuding a cool and elegant aura: "Little golden dragon cub, I'm here. What do you want to talk to me about? Speak!"

Her voice was like a muffled thunderclap, shaking Cangying. He clutched his chest and staggered back two steps. His heart pounded like thunder, and his face, which had never changed in ages, turned pale and filled with fear.

Yan Liu frowned, a sneer playing on her lips: "Good heavens, am I a venomous beast, a snake, a scorpion, an insect, or some kind of demon you hate, that you'd turn pale with fright and your heart would ache just by looking at me?"

Cangying's face drained of all color, her skin as white as a sheet of paper in a panic. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Yan Liu raised her hand to stop him, and stepped forward to get closer to him: "No, little golden dragon brat, can you stop apologizing all the time? You asked me to come out and chat, to talk about something, and before we've even talked about it, you're already apologizing to me."

"What, did you do something to betray me? Did you poke a hole in my egg with a needle and mix up the yolk and the egg white?"

Cangying couldn't control his pounding heart. Looking at Yanliu's moist lips and emerald green eyes, his heart felt like a demon about to burst out of his chest.

"Here you go, here you go." Cangying hurriedly pulled out boxes filled with various gems and pearls from his spatial storage, one box after another, more than a dozen boxes in total, and piled them in front of Yanliu: "They're all for you!"

Yanliu frowned deeply, somewhat incredulous: "Little Golden Dragon brat, you didn't sleep at night, you asked me out for a chat, and all you gave me was this stuff?"

"Hiss, I don't accept gifts without merit. I'm not the kind of person who's greedy for money. Please take these things away, take them all away."

Although the items were good, and although she was greedy and wanted them, her master said she couldn't take advantage of them, especially with this little golden dragon cub. He was stubborn and couldn't think straight.

She didn't care if she got into trouble again; if she couldn't handle it, she would just kill him. But her master said that innocent people shouldn't be killed indiscriminately, and that people should be persuaded with virtue.

"I'm going back to the deep sea." After Cangying finished taking out the box containing gems and pearls, he took three steps back to distance himself from Yanliu. "These things are useless to me. There are plenty more in the deep sea. If you like them, I'll give them to you."

"Oh, and this too, the nest I promised to make for you, it's finished, here you go."

Cangying took out another nest from his space, even larger than the one he had given the little golden dragon, and placed it on the box. The semi-circular nest was inlaid with various colorful gems and pearls of different colors. Even the nest curtain was made of pink pearls the size of quail eggs.

When Yanliu saw the pink pearl curtain, she had a momentary heart attack. Was this the kind of straight male aesthetic described in the book, thinking that every girl likes pink and tender things?

Wait, she's a female tree that's thousands of years old, not a sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen-year-old girl who likes pink, tender, and cute things.

Seeing that she was staring at him without blinking, Cangying felt a little uneasy, cautious, reserved, and nervous. He asked, "Do you like it?"

She liked everything except the pink beaded curtain.

However, even if it's a small piece of junk that someone gave you, you shouldn't talk about it in front of them.

Yanliu shifted her gaze to Cangying, and said the words against her will, without any hesitation or pressure: "I like it, I like it."

Cangying didn't even realize it herself, but her anxious, cautious, and reserved heart breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you like it, it's good that you like it."

Yanliu pointed to the pile of things: "You gave these to me willingly, without any other purpose or request?"

Cangying shook her head at her: "No!"

Yan Liu smiled instantly: "Really not?"

When Cangying saw her smile, he suddenly felt thirsty and his throat moved involuntarily: "No, you put these things away and I'm going back to the deep sea."

Yan Liu swiftly and like a thief, she stored everything in her spatial storage. She smiled broadly, overjoyed, and condensed a ball of spiritual energy, shoving it into Cangying's arms: "Little golden dragon cub, I won't take advantage of you. This is my spiritual energy ball, a pure plant-based one. It can probably be used for 3 to 5 months to nourish your spiritual energy. I'm giving it to you."

Cangying held the sphere of spiritual energy, as big as a washbasin, in his arms. He was stunned for a moment, completely forgetting that he had come to Yanliu to talk about the little green dragon egg: "Okay, thank you!"

Yan Liu waved his hand generously, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, hurry up and go, hurry up and go, come again next time you have time and I will treat you."

This little golden dragon cub is so cute. I don't talk to her about eggs, I don't care about whether I slept with her or not, and I just take out the good stuff. Who wouldn't love this little cub? I love it to death, okay?

Cangying, holding the psychic orb, nodded to her: "Thank you, goodbye!"

Yanliu waved goodbye: "Goodbye!"

Cangying straightened up, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.

Yan Liu watched him walk away until he was out of sight, then jumped three feet high on the spot, exclaiming, "I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm really rich!"

Master, if we had 10 or 8 of these little golden dragon cubs, wouldn't they be lying in piles of money, piles of jewels, and all sorts of strange and valuable things?

So the question is, where do we find so many little golden dragon cubs?

Good question, good question, really good question.

Yanliu sighed, flicked her wide sleeves, hummed a little tune happily, entered the courtyard, and knocked on the door.

Bo Jichen came out of the room and said in a low voice, "I've already put the little ones to sleep. You should go back to your room and keep them company."

"No rush, no rush, come here." Yanliu beckoned to Bo Jichen, gesturing for him to come to the center of the courtyard.

Bo Jichen's purple eyes gleamed in the night: "What?"

Yanliu, who had already arrived in the center of the courtyard, said disdainfully, "You came just because I told you to. Do you think I'd eat you, you thick-skinned dragon?"

Bo Jichen grinned, revealing his white teeth: "You're an omnivore. You eat everything, whether it's alive or dead, rotten or good. I'm scared to be with you."

"Get the hell out of here!" Yan Liu cursed. "If you don't come by the time I count to three, you'll regret it, one..."

Bo Jichen suddenly appeared in front of her, "Did you eat the 'two' and 'three' before the 'three'?"

“You ate them all. Here, take them all.” Yan Liu swiftly pulled out three boxes of gems and two boxes of pearls.

Bo Jichen, the secondhand dealer who was helping sell the items, had his eyes light up and rushed over to open the box. He was almost blinded by the jewels and pearls: "Little Yanliu, where did you get this?"

Yanliu didn't hide anything: "Cangying gave it to me!"

Bo Jichen, an old rascal, abandoned the box, stepped forward, grabbed Yanliu's hand, and said with sincerity and earnestness, "Little Yanliu, since I'm your master, can you tell me the secret to how you managed to catch that dragon in Cangying?"

"How do you manage to get so much from him that he's willing, happy, and asks for nothing in return, always thinking of you when he gets something good, and giving you everything he wants?"

Yan Liu abruptly pulled her hand away. "Mr. Bo Jichen, although we are technically the same, we should still be mindful of boundaries. Don't shake my hand so easily. You may be shameless, but I am!"

Bo Jichen rolled his eyes at her: "What are you talking about? Our relationship is like lying in the same bed, calm and undisturbed, like stagnant water. No one will misunderstand. Just tell me, how did you get that dragon to willingly let you take it?"

Yan Liu sighed, "I didn't take advantage of him. Who knows if he took the wrong medicine today, or if he went crazy and gave me so many things again."

"And this too. I just mentioned that his room was nice, and he made one for me. I'm so embarrassed! Look!"

As Yan Liu spoke, she took out the nest and waved it under Bo Jichen's nose.

Bo Jichen's purple eyes almost popped out as he pointed to the hollow in the hole: "My little Yanliu, this nest was given to you by him, made by his own hands?"

Yanliu nodded: "It should be. He said he was going to make a nest for me, and it took more than nine months to finish. It's quite slow."

Bo Jichen's lips twitched, his heart screaming. In the dragon race, touching a dragon's horns or tail meant courtship. The nest was already built and given away; it meant he wanted to sleep in the same bed with you and build eggs together.

Damn it, Yanliu doesn't understand, but doesn't that bastard Cangying understand?

That scoundrel is still up to no good. After being rejected when he proposed to the heir of the Troya Empire, he turned his attention to Yanliu, hoping to become the son-in-law of the Troya Empire's royal family.

"Put it away, put it away!" Bo Jichen urged Yanliu, "Keep it in your room if you don't have anything to do. Don't show it off. Go to sleep now. As usual, I'll sell the things later and transfer the money to you."

Yanliu said "Oh," and then added, "Then you should go to sleep early."

Bo Jichen nodded: "I understand, I understand."

Yanliu yawned and slowly returned to her room.

Bo Jichen gathered up the boxes on the ground, prepared to close the courtyard gate, and went to sleep.

Suddenly, a pale hand pressed against the courtyard gate; who told him to close the gate?

His heart skipped a beat. He pulled open the courtyard gate, and when he saw who it was, his face darkened, and his voice became extremely unfriendly, "Your Excellency Jiufeng, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Jiufeng, dressed in a black robe and cloak, with a face as white as frost and a slight blush, her eyes calm and undisturbed, said: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you, and I know you're annoyed with me, disgusted with me, and wish I were dead. But, can you return the phoenix feather, the token of our love that I gave you?"
