Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Mu Bao's 'wonderful' performance

The magic lamp can make three wishes.

He is greedy but not greedy, he just wants one.

The little guy's eyes were bright and he was held high by his father.

This position is perfect for throwing and catching.

Especially when these childish words fell into my ears.

Li Ming couldn't help but throw Xiaolong high.

The little guy was too lazy to move at this moment. He was suddenly thrown high up. The little wings behind him suddenly broke free from the restraints and flapped vigorously behind him instinctively.

But the little wings that have not yet fully developed may be able to carry the dragon-like Li Mu to fly around, but they definitely cannot carry the little guy who looks like a human.

Then the little guy fell quickly like a fluttering moth, and fell into Li Ming's arms in a daze.

He subconsciously reached out and hugged Li Ming's neck.

Until this moment the little wings are still flapping.

"Oh?"

"Weren't you speaking smoothly just now? Now you're just howling again?"

Li Ming picked up Xiaolong with one hand and let the little guy lie on his shoulder.

His long silver hair was tied behind his head, and his posture was relaxed but sharp. His light yellow eyes were slightly narrowed, and under the light from outside, they appeared a light golden color, slightly contracted like the pupils of an animal, giving off a cold and sharp feeling.

The little dragon's wish left the adult dragons present at a loss for how to respond. They felt as if they were choked by an inexplicable emotion, an emotion the dragon race had never experienced before.

What he wanted was too ordinary, too cautious.

It’s like having a room full of toys, but still cherishing the first pillow you received the most.

"It's not just this one wish, all the others can come true. If you're feeling unwell, get some good sleep. Tomorrow, there's a delicious baby milk cake at the amusement park. You can walk around and see a lot of fun things. Don't you like balloons? You can pick a lot of them and use them to make friends. You might even meet a classmate from your future school today—"

The dragon clan only has little Li Mu as a cub. If they want him to interact with his peers, he naturally has to go to school on a planet outside of Skala.

Li Ming said as he carried Xiaolong out.

"I have to go check on the other people on the starship," Li Hua followed, "The light outside is too bright. Find some clothes to cover Mu Mu and go directly to the room we booked. I'll take care of this and then take the equipment to check on Mu Mu."

Li Ming pulled on a coat.

Half of it was placed on his shoulders, and the other half was placed over the little dragon's head.

Xiaolong didn't feel like sleeping at the moment, so he hid obediently under his coat and lay in his arms. His little wings were still retracted and were flapping unconsciously behind his back.

He himself seemed unaware of it until his little wings flapped and curled up on Li Ming's arm. Then Li Mu turned his head suddenly, tried hard to retract his little wings, and then collapsed back into his father's arms like a little salted fish.

Li Ming felt a little nervous, remembering how Xiaolong vomited last time.

"Does it hurt?"

The little guy shook his head and hid his little face.

He himself didn't realize how cute his unconscious actions were.

Too cute.

It was bright outside until Li Ming walked down the starship with the baby in his arms and looked at Zhu Xuan, who had also arrived, from afar.

Li Ming: ...

"What bad luck."

The little dragon had tried to poke his head out, but his father grabbed him. He held the cub in his arms, nervous as if he were holding a landmine, and said with a blank expression, "We don't want to look at that crazy dragon."

The little dragon was wrapped up, and he said in a muffled voice, "Nervous Dragon?"

Li Ming: ...

"Mu Bao, don't learn this. You can call him the Dragon Thief."

"...Dragon Thief."

After a moment, the soft and sticky voice imitated it.

Zhu Xuan: ...

Who stole it?

Who stole it?!

He was discussing this openly and honestly, understand?!

*

The fifth largest galaxy.

The gathering place of the Tayir people.

Against the backdrop of the twinkling sea of ​​stars around it, this great civilization that originally shone in the interstellar space seemed dim.

This place is blocked by darkness all year round.

Most of the tribesmen were afraid of being affected by the pollutants in the black hole, so they stayed in their own small places. Even though they had the ability to use their mental power to leave their bodies, they never went out again.

A huge monster seemed to have pressed the pause button, and even the emotions of the tribesmen gradually faded away, turning into an unchanging silence.

The royal palace of the Tayir Empire is retro and luxurious.

The corridor is long, and people pass by with slow and steady footsteps.

Although the curtains were open, not much light could penetrate the galaxy, which was perpetually shrouded in shadow.

There is a portrait in every other window.

There were men and women, wearing crowns and holding swords of power, all of them were aloof and arrogant.

But as we got to the end, the king in the painting looked younger and younger.

Until the last one - it was a portrait of the new King Tayir who sat on the throne two years ago.

The five-year-old boy wore a crown with an expressionless face. Under his soft black hair, his amber eyes showed a kind of arrogant indifference. He casually pulled the Sword of Power slightly out of the scabbard, revealing a cold light.

This is the youngest in this row of portraits, but his aura is no less than that of other Tayir kings.

The figure finally stopped at the door and knocked gently.

The royal steward bowed gracefully and called out softly.

"His Majesty?"

As expected, there was no response.

Since the black hole pollution began, in order to protect the tribe and allow the Tayir people with special mental power to live normally in one place, the Tayir royal family has been sleeping most of the time, using their mental power to maintain the barrier of the entire fifth galaxy.

The butler pushed open the door.

The room was dark.

But the young emperor, who was supposed to be resting in the hibernation chamber, was nowhere to be seen.

The housekeeper was startled.

"His Majesty?"

"Lotta."

A childish and cold voice came.

Near the window, a pair of amber eyes lit up.

Si Chi, who was sitting on the windowsill, jumped down lightly and landed silently.

The lights around him lit up layer by layer, from dim to brilliant, and he walked quietly towards them in the light.

Compared to the portrait, the young boy has lost some of his childishness and is still very young, but he also seems to have lost his previous coldness. His round amber eyes are like cat pupils, and when he looks at people with a wide expression and a blank face, it often makes people feel a little creepy. At this moment, there is confusion in his eyes.

Like he was very confused.

"Your Majesty, when did you wake up? Do you need to summon the court physician immediately?"

Butler Rota respectfully handed the cup of warm water to Si Chi.

"No."

Si Chi took the cup and took a sip of warm water.

"It's not that I've reached the limit of my mental strength."

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to respect, he also looked at the young boy with some affection.

Since accepting this fate, the lifespan of the Tayir royal family has been sharply reduced, and the heirs have become younger and younger.

He had taken care of Si Chi, so naturally he didn't want anything to happen to him.

until--

"If someone keeps trying to touch my ears, Lotta, what do you think he's thinking?"

Si Chi looked up and demonstrated as he spoke.

The pitch-black triangular ears emerged from the hair and trembled proudly.

Oh, touch your ears...

Rota: ...???

"Touch your ears?! Who?!"

Who is so bold as to touch the royal ear, an extremely sensitive area with so many thin capillaries?

Si Chi thought for a moment.

"A fool."

An idiot who can't even speak clearly and yet tries to poke him every time, and tries to hug him when entering the virtual network.

Rota tasted a hint of arrogance in these four cold words.

He spoke tentatively.

"Your mental strength?"

"Well, it drifted away, into someone's virtual network. I was observing what was happening."

When the starship was attacked, the influence from the pollution source left Si Chi with only a little residual mental power, and his real body woke up instantly.

He couldn't understand the situation over there for the time being, but he didn't doubt the dragon clan's combat effectiveness, so he wasn't worried. He was just confused.

"Is he the same age?"

The Tayir people have a special spiritual power that can be dispersed, and can even be carried by special spiritual power containers outside to act as incarnations. It's just that time is too long, and the Tayir people have been sealed in one place for a long time. Their senses and emotions have degenerated, and their desire to interact with the outside world has decreased. This is why it is almost impossible to find any trace of the Tayir people outside.

"It seems about the same?"

Si Chi pondered the little guy's age.

"So I guess he wants to make friends with you?"

Lotta said with a smile.

"ha?"

Si Chi's ears trembled, and his triangular furry ears suddenly retracted.

"Making friends?"

"You don't seem to be opposed to..."

"No, I just stayed there to figure out the situation. It's not that I don't reject it."

Si Chi interrupted the other person and raised his chin.

If his furry tail could be exposed, it would be standing proudly in the air at this moment.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Luo Ta observed Si Chi's expression.

He spoke tentatively.

"Do you know where this child lives? What is his status?"

"The third largest galaxy, the Skala Galaxy, belongs to the Silver Dragon Clan... He seems to be a black dragon cub."

"Dragon cub?"

The situation of the Dragon Clan is as famous as that of the Tayir Clan.

They probably haven't had any cubs for thousands of years.

"Well, he seems to be coaxed to sleep by his parents now."

Si Chi explored it a bit and found that the connection was smooth. The plush ball of his spiritual power that remained with Xiaolong had been poked too many times by Xiaolong along the way. At this moment, it was showing its own emotions and huddled in a corner in displeasure.

Si Chi looked up suspiciously.

"He wants to be friends with me? I don't need friends."

Rota half-knelt in front of the little emperor.

Looking at Si Chi's lively expression, he thought for a moment.

"If you wish, we can find out more information. We can travel to the third largest galaxy in our avatar, and you can also observe what the galaxies outside look like."

Si Chi was too young when he succeeded to the throne.

All the kings of the Tayir royal family had a good childhood.

But Si Chi didn't.

All I had were endless demands and indifference from my elders, and in the end I ended up being alone like I am now.

Although the royal servants respected the little king, they also felt sorry for him.

Si Chi didn't say anything, but his amber eyes wavered slightly.

"The barrier is stabilizing. You're still young, and you haven't had time to learn many things in detail. Relying solely on inheritance would seem a bit strange to you, wouldn't it?"

After all, that was not knowledge that belonged to him; it was forcefully instilled into him.

Luo Ta actually hoped that Si Chi could have more self-awareness and time before his mental strength was exhausted to the point of gradual destruction.

Si Chi hesitated for a long time, his amber cat eyes filled with a hint of thought, and finally he nodded slightly.

“Travel low-key.”

Rota smiled respectfully.

"I understand, Your Majesty. Your loyal servant will make the necessary preparations and accompany you."

*

When Xiaolong woke up, it was still dark.

He was not very sleepy before falling asleep. Now that his physical fatigue had recovered a little, he couldn't fall asleep again after waking up.

The little body rolled over on the bed.

After rolling twice and touching Li Ming's warm body, he didn't have time to sit up before Li Ming, who still had his eyes closed, stretched out his big hand and covered him with the quilt.

Xiaolong was completely bewildered:???

“Dad…Dad…”

He shouted softly in a voice that Li Ming could hardly hear.

Finally, the small ball became smaller.

Not long after, a pitch-black little dragon struggled out from under the quilt.

Li Mu swung his little tail, shook his little wings, stretched out his paw to scratch the itchy dragon horn, and walked around on the soft mattress.

Xiaolong had lived alone in the magical world and in the dangerous monster forest. Night was his protective color, and he was always extra alert when the day broke.

Then Xiaolong didn't realize that the 'quilt monster' next to him slowly woke up, roared, and 'swallowed' Xiaolong into the quilt.

The little dragon was so frightened that he shuddered and turned his head to breathe heavily. He saw his father holding up the quilt with one hand and the mattress with the other, laughing so hard that he could hardly straighten his back.

"Are you scared?"

Li Ming smiled, his silver hair flowing all over the bed. He reached out and hooked the little dragon's curved tail.

When there is no danger, dad is the biggest danger.

“Ouch!”

The little dragon plopped back down, clapping his little paws in dissatisfaction, strongly condemning his old father's bad behavior.

A moment later.

After washing up, the father and son sat on the soft sofa in the room.

Li Mu has turned back into human form, sitting in Li Ming's arms, holding a stack of sound literacy cards in his hand.

The little hands are moving on it bit by bit.

Occasionally, he would take the time to check the 'little assistant' on his wrist to see if it had responded to him.

But since yesterday, the 'little assistant' has been very quiet.

There is a virtual network login here, and you can enter the virtual network and take a look.

But now—

Xiaolong is still studying "Morning Reading" seriously.

After a few words, the little one got a new learning card.

It's four words.

Xiaolong tilted his head and nodded.

A mechanical sound soon sounded.

"To stand out."

"Ahhhhhh?"

Xiaolong tilted his head, waiting for his father to explain to him.

It seems like a word that can be used to praise someone.

Mu Mu must remember.

Xiaolong read it several times, nodded seriously, and prepared for the next word.

But at this time, Li Hua sent a communication message.

"It's almost time. Is Mumu awake? Come out for breakfast. I'll check your condition while you're at it. If it still affects your health, you might need an injection when you get home tonight."

Injection at night?

Xiaolong quickly extracted the keywords.

His eyes widened and he shook his head quickly.

At this time he spoke quickly and clearly.

“No injections.”

Both adult dragons were amused.

Breakfast went by quickly.

Although Li Mu tried hard to act normal, he still had no appetite and could not eat any more after eating just a little.

But there is no big problem with the physical stats, it is much better than last time.

The two adult dragons felt slightly relieved.

Took the curious little dragon cub to the cub amusement park.

The amusement park galaxy is the entire galaxy built as a cub amusement park.

It has comprehensive supporting services, and all tickets are reserved to ensure that the number of tourists in each park will not be crowded.

A corner of the amusement park in the virtual network is cut out here.

Today's tourists are also within the prescribed range.

Xiaolong was held in his father's arms, and his cute, innocent and well-behaved little face attracted a lot of attention along the way.

The little cub is completely tender and adorable, and every part of it is designed to make people feel cute during this period.

Someone in the crowd glanced over here, his eyes widened in an instant, and he grabbed the cool boy with a scorpion tail next to him.

"Garden baby, look over there—"

Saint Clare raised his chin and looked over.

He is about the same age as little Li Mu.

But like other cubs in this galaxy, in order to adapt to the environment, they began to possess various characteristics at a very young age and became precocious and warlike.

"Is that the little darling from Starnet?"

St. Garde's aunt opened her eyes wide and quickly searched the Star Network.

"Rounded little horns, black hair and eyes, and skin as white and soft as marshmallow. This must be the little baby, right? I saw someone recommend this amusement park to them before, and I didn't expect to actually run into them. They're so cute, right? Sure enough, that bear parent has terrible photography skills! Hey, Jiade baby, you're the same age. Maybe we'll see them at the Cub Academy later."

"snort."

Saint Garde flicked his scorpion tail and hummed a syllable from his nose.

"Aunt, you brought me here just to meet him by chance?"

"How could I have predicted that? I only brought you out because you were old enough to play."

The tall woman smiled and bent down to touch the boy's head.

There is an age limit for cub amusement parks. Anything is dangerous for cubs who are too young. Amusement parks generally do not cater to younger cubs for fear that their parents may not be able to properly supervise them.

Little Li Mu was standing where the cub's bow and arrow toys were.

You can use arrows tied with special soft materials to shoot the dolls, and if you hit them, the doll is yours.

The small bow and arrow was not heavy, but it was a bit difficult for a cub of Xiaolong's age to pull it open, not to mention that he was still weak.

Li Ming stood beside Xiaolong, letting the little guy explore step by step on his own, but even so, he never took his eyes off him for a moment.

Until he saw the little guy pulling the bowstring with great effort but failed to release it. The delicate little cutie looked up at him, with expectation in his big dark eyes under his curled eyelashes. Seeing that he didn't react, he gave up and let go, sighing softly.

Such a little temper.

It really wants to play but can't pull it open, and its dad won't help. If it were any other cub, it would have started making a fuss by now.

Li Ming shrugged and took a step forward.

A cub half a head taller than his own cub suddenly appeared beside him.

His black scorpion tail curled behind him. He snorted softly, picked up another bow and arrow and tried to pull it. He pulled the bow and arrow easily.

So what's so difficult about this?

St. Clare thought.

He had said it long ago that he was strong and this guy was weak. Even if they went to cub school together in the future, he would be able to crush him.

"Look, use this area to push hard, but your little arms and legs might not be able to pull it apart, so don't force yourself."

Li Mu blinked and looked at the person next to him. It was the first time that little Li Mu met a peer from this interstellar world face to face. He didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.

Then I went to see my dad again.

Li Ming originally planned to let Xiaolong interact with people of his own age. He was observing the situation at the moment, hesitating whether to intervene, and then he saw the confused look in his cub's eyes.

Li Ming: ...

Li Hua: ...

They were both very sure now that their cub didn't understand what the other cub was saying at all.

Saint Garde had already picked up the arrow and aimed it at the largest doll as everyone expected.

Humph, so easy.

He let go, and the arrow fell to the ground with a thud, like a shooting star.

Saint Clare: ...

People around: ...

Little Dragon: ...

Mu Mu tilted her head: "Huh?"

"There was a little problem."

Saint Garde was not old enough and had never played with this kind of thing before, but that didn't stop the young master from being extremely confident in himself. His face flushed as he reached for another arrow.

This time it flew out at least, but it only went about a meter before falling again.

St. Clare's aunt held her forehead helplessly, unable to bear to watch any longer.

But just flying out was already very impressive for the little dragon who had never seen anything like this before.

Li Mu originally wanted to hide behind Li Ming when he saw a stranger, but the peer in front of him did not have the malicious disgust and expulsion that Xiaolong was already familiar with.

Seems like a good person?

The little dragon stood by and watched him thinking. It seemed that he had learned what to say in this situation today.

Saint Garde tried for a long time, but was finally annoyed by Xiaolong's hesitation. He turned around and pursed his lips angrily.

"What do you want to say?"

"It's okay, don't be sad."

Xiaolong thought about it, organized his words and spoke in a soft voice.

"You will definitely lose your head... Lose your head? Lose your head..."

What's that word called?

Li Ming: ...

Li Hua: ... "Did he learn a new word this morning?"

Li Ming: ... "Yes, to stand out from the crowd."

To stand out from the crowd—to lose one’s head…

Wonderful baby.

Xiaolong didn't remember it in the end, but he looked at the little cub next to him seriously and sincerely - you should know what I mean, right?
