hope

Before Mr. Bai could say anything, he saw the little dragon cub retreat magnificently, and then the cub stared at his paws and seemed to be muttering something.

This amused Mr. Bai so much that the pain in his legs disappeared. He smiled and asked, "What did you dream about?"

Osvid quickly explained, then looked at his translator. Bai Yuanzhou said, "He said he dreamed of a large chicken drumstick. The fragrance made him confused, so he followed the scent and came here. He didn't expect to chew on your leg."

Osvid pointed at his grandfather and asked, "Oh?"

——Is Grandpa okay?

The little dragon cub thought to himself, "Osvid, you greedy dragon! How could you be so hungry as to gnaw on Grandpa's leg?"

only……

Osvid looked at Mr. Bai's legs and noticed the red mist emanating from him.

The last time he saw it was when they first met. He didn't look carefully at that time, and of course he was a little afraid to look, but now his relationship with Grandpa Bai has improved, Osvid observed it carefully.

Whether it was the fragrance brought by the mist or the energy ball visible to the naked eye, they all told Osvid that this was not an illusion.

Seeing that his grandfather had no intention of blaming him, Osvid stepped forward and sniffed carefully.

Mr. Bai looked at the little dragon cub with a puzzled look.

Does Zizi really want to continue chewing his legs?

Oswald's claws gently touched his leg, and then the little dragon pokes it with the tip of his claws, drawing a line: "Awoo——"

——The fragrance comes from here.

He looked at Mr. Bai: "Oh?"

Bai Yuanzhou spoke at the right moment: "Yes, that's where Grandpa was injured."

"Zerg toxins have three different ways of entering the body. Some toxins can cause hallucinations just by breathing them in. Some need to enter through wounds and spread throughout the body through the bloodstream. Some toxins are spread through saliva."

After Mr. Bai and his team broke into the Zerg nest, their mechas were destroyed by a large number of Zerg. Many people could only share the same armor with their companions. Mr. Bai's leg injury was also caused by the Zerg bone blade scratching his armor after it was destroyed, and then he was infected with the venom sprayed by the Zerg queen.

The Imperial Military was also affected because the survivors like Mr. Bai learned about the horrors of the insect mother toxin, which polluted human mental power and caused mental riots. Those who survived by chance also faced the sequelae of decreased mental power.

Mr. Bai didn't know why the little dragon boy brought up this matter, and he didn't know why the little dragon boy knew the exact location of his wound.

The places where the claws' tips had scratched seemed to remind him of that nightmare, and his skin shivered.

Osvid blinked, then asked Mr. Bai to give him the Dragon Brand.

Mr. Bai hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, how do we do this?"

He has been jealous of Bai Yuanzhou's automatic translation of Xiaolong language for a long time.

The branding ceremony ended quickly. Before Mr. Bai could feel happy for a few seconds, Oswald said to him seriously, "Grandpa, if you are willing, I can try to heal your wound."

Before, he was not 100% sure that the fragrance he could always smell came from the Zerg, but now, whether it was the appearance of the two Zergs or the residual toxins on the wounds of the little girl's mother and Grandpa Bai, he could be sure that it was the smell of Zerg energy.

Since Grandpa's leg injury was caused by the residual Zerg energy, as long as he devoured that energy, he should be able to restore Grandpa's ability to move normally. As for whether he could restore Grandpa's declining mental strength, he was not sure.

Osvid was afraid that Mr. Bai didn't understand, so he specifically explained his dragon talent to him.

Finally, he looked at Grandpa Bai's legs, encouraging himself and his grandfather: "Grandpa, if you are willing to try, I will try my best to help you heal your leg injury."

Mr. Bai was speechless for a moment.

When the incident first happened, the empire and the military sent many doctors, and even the then head of the Tang family came to treat the few survivors, but it was still no use.

He tried every possible method and contacted every possible person, but in the end, he had to maintain the status quo because he had missed the golden treatment period.

People said that they were lucky to have their lives saved, but he felt that it would be better to sacrifice himself in the Zerg hive with his comrades than to become a useless person.

Later, as the Empire's understanding of the Zerg deepened, the development of Imperial medicine also leaped to a new level. However, regarding his old injury, the hospital still gave a sentence: "I'm sorry, we are still unable to treat the Zerg mother toxin, but your current condition is already very good..."

He didn't want to hear this, but he knew that this was how his life would be.

Hope cannot bring about change, and he no longer believes that he has any future.

In recent years, many people have approached him, claiming that they can perform surgery to cure his leg injury.

However, Bo Sheng knew that those people just wanted to make a name for themselves in the medical field. There was nothing more cost-effective than treating him, a poor man.

Bai Sheng refused with a curse, and offended many people because of it.

——He is not an experiment, nor is he a fool.

But now the little dragon cub said that he could heal his leg injury, something about devouring talent and energy balls. He didn't understand and didn't see anything on his wound.

But he believed what Osvid said.

After a while, Mr. Bai nodded and said, "Let's give it a try. We'll give it a try."

The worst that could happen is that our hopes will be dashed again.

Because they were going to return the next day, and Mr. Bai's leg injury was an old one, the insect mother toxin would not attack him most of the time, and the energy ball that escaped outward this time was also caused by his use of mental power.

However, if we continue to rely on grandpa to use his mental power to force the insect mother toxin to become active, it may cause a mental riot, which is very risky.

Taking this into consideration, Osvid absorbed all the released insect toxins and ended the treatment.

The effect was good. Mr. Bai felt the pain in his legs was quickly relieved, and he didn't even have time to use the painkiller injection.

Mr. Bai stared at his wound in a daze for a long time, then looked at the dragon cub who was just rubbing his belly.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is it that simple?

Mr. Bai couldn't help but slapped his thigh excitedly: "Zizi, come here!"

Osvid, confused, flew forward.

Then, he was caught off guard by Grandpa Bai, who hugged him and solemnly announced, "Baby! From today on, we are friends for life. Even if you return to the Dragon Clan in the future, the door of the Bai family will always be open to you! And if that brat Bai Yuanzhou bullies you, just tell Grandpa and I'll help you beat him up!"

Seeing this, Osvid gave Bai Yuanzhou a smug look.

Bai Yuanzhou: ""

——Who is your grandson?

…

In the afternoon, Mr. Bai found someone to sell the old house for him, and Oswald was taken away by Zheng Zichi to play.

However, because the little dragon cub had absorbed the energy of the insect mother, he suddenly fell to the ground and fell asleep in the middle of playing.

This frightened Zheng Qianxun and Zheng Wanyu so much that they started crying: "Wuwuwu, Lord Dragon King, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Zichi and Fang Zi were also shocked. Fortunately, Zheng Zichi checked Xiaolong and found that he was just asleep. He called Bai Yuanzhou to report and sent Xiaolong back.

The fun plan ended, and Zheng Qianxun and Zheng Wanyu watched Bai Yuanzhou take the little dragon cub back reluctantly.

Before leaving, the two little guys put the reshaped crown on Osvid's head.

Then, Zheng Qianxun asked, "Dad, is our family poor?"

Zheng Zichi wondered why his daughter suddenly asked this, and replied, "Of course our family is not poor. What new clothes or toys do you like? Daddy will buy them for you."

Zheng Qianxun waved his hand and said, "Great, then Dad, let's move to the main planet, okay? It would be best if we could live next to the little dragon cub, so we can play with him every day!"

Zheng Zichi silently changed his tone: "...Daughter, do you want your father to go bankrupt?"

——You’re just digging holes for him day after day, right?

…

Osvid didn't wake up after he came back. Bai Yuanzhou knew that he was digesting the newly absorbed energy, so he didn't wake Xiaolong up.

He put the little guy back into the nest, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The nest I just bought seems a little small again, and now it feels a little heavy in my arms...

Bai Yuanzhou thought about it and felt that he had to reserve that room in the house for the little dragon.

Otherwise it would be a bit unfair to Osvid.

After making the decision, he submitted his opinion to the decoration team. On the other side, Jonah's video request popped up on the computer. Bai Yuanzhou was afraid of disturbing the little dragon, so he went upstairs to his room before answering it.

Jonah was walking around the office. When he saw Bai Yuanzhou answer the video call, he angrily slammed his desk and said, "Those annoying people from the Xu family are stirring up trouble again in the meeting today. After all, they only dared to say nonsense when you were away. When you come back, I'll see how much nonsense they can hold back!"

The military has dealt with a lot of people in recent days because of the attack on the eldest daughter of the Capet family, and there have been major changes.

That's why Jonah called via video, wanting to report the situation to Bai Yuanzhou in advance.

Outside the window, a drizzle began to fall, and soon turned into a rainstorm.

The sun was shining brightly over there on Jonash's side. He was going to lead his troops in training. Many soldiers who had been under Bai Yuanzhou and some new recruits rushed over after hearing the news, and the wide-angle lens in his laptop could no longer accommodate them.

The military has strict management of optical computers. Not everyone can carry an optical computer with them and surf the Star Network like Jonash. Now that they finally see the complete Admiral Bai, everyone's greetings come like a wave.

After a moment, Jonah took control of the situation: "Go, go, go, don't think I don't know you guys are trying to avoid training. Now that we've said hello, can we continue?"

The crowd then dispersed, and after Jonash finished talking to Bai Yuanzhou about business, he said with anticipation, "You're taking Xiaolong back to the main planet tomorrow, right? Then I'll be able to see Xiaolong again!"

Bai Yuanzhou responded, and just then there was a crisp and somewhat rapid knock on the door, followed by a "bo bo" sound.

Osvid is awake?

Bai Yuanzhou stood up and headed towards the door while clearing the Jonash in his mind: "Is there anything else important?"

Jonash just shook his head when the other party's screen went black. "Hang up then. I have something important to do."

Jonash: "..."

—Oh, you cold-blooded man! Forget him now that you have a dragon!

What's the important thing? Don't think I didn't hear the little dragon cub!
