Chapter 98: Let’s go find mom together, okay?

"It's all your fault! It's you who broke my mother's tail feathers!"

"Mom, you broke my tail feathers... Woo woo woo, Mom, I want to see you..."

Shang You bumped into other people and was hit by that hand again on his forehead, followed by a cold and ruthless voice coming from above his head.

"You won't get the chance to see her again."

Shang You's lips trembled upon hearing this, and the cub completely collapsed. He didn't want to be held by this villain who hurt his mother at all, and struggled desperately, "Let go, let me go..."

After staying still for a moment, Ying Shuxue let go of the cub with swollen eyes.

Shang You's little hands were locked, so she could only use the little dragon claws at both ends of her tail to crawl to the back corner of the cold pond. Only after she was sure she was away from the bad guy did she stop crawling.

Shang You leaned tightly against the ice stone in the corner, curled up her dragon tail. She could do nothing, and could not accept the fact that she would never see her mother again, so she could only bury her face in her tail, calling for her mother over and over, crying and crying.

During this time, Ying Sixue stood calmly on the shore, and his expression did not change because of the cub's crying.

When the cub's crying gradually subsided, as if it didn't even have the strength to cry, Ying Shixue came over calmly, bent down slightly, and picked up the cub that had fainted from crying from under the corner of the ice and stone.

Perhaps because he had not yet fully transformed into a dragon and had just experienced a convulsion and crying, Shang You's body once again showed a noticeable high fever, and the temperature continued to rise.

Shang You seemed to sense a familiar cold breath approaching in her daze. She spread her little claws to push it away fiercely, sobbing, "None of your business..."

But after crying for only a few times, Shang You let his little dragon tail droop weakly again, and even his claws curled up softly.

Ying Shixue stood on the shore of the deep pool, with one side of his dragon tail completely above the water. He placed the young dragon, who was curled up into a small ball with a high fever, on his tail to cool it down.

Ying Cixue's expression was cold and oppressive, with a chill lingering around the deep pool, invisible and colorless, and equally without sadness or joy.

This was the scene he saw when Elder Changyi came over with the latest news about the specific location of the Penglai Fairy Mountain in the southern sea area.

The little cub was lying on a corner of the king's dragon scales, sobbing and sleeping.

Although Wang didn't say anything, the old man Changyi noticed something unusual.

The scales on the cub's dragon tail near the end were slightly curled up due to the abnormal body temperature.

However, it was soon covered by the king's cold breath, and the young dragon scales at the end of the tail gradually returned to normal.

Elder Changyi then continued his speech, "Ever since the king left, the South China Sea was the first to lose its protection. The sea spirits were driven to the corners of the sea, and they were not allowed to approach the center of the South China Sea, where the spiritual energy is most abundant."

"I have found the sea spirit that was expelled from the cape and investigated. The one stationed in the South China Sea in recent years is Chen Jichuan, a descendant of Feng Bo and Yu Shi. I speculate that the spiritual weapon that suppressed Penglai Fairy Mountain should also be in his hands..."

Throughout the entire process when the old man Changyi was reporting in a low voice, Ying Shixue kept her bottomless cold eyes downcast, quietly looking at the cub on the slender dragon tail, standing still.

After the cub's body temperature returned to normal, Ying Shixue had it brought back to the new palace, and before leaving the icy abyss, he gave the only instruction.

"Watch the child."

…

At Shixue's order, the guards originally guarding the new palace were replaced by two relatively gentle and amiable water cranes transformed into human form.

When Shang You woke up again, he had been sent back to the crystal palace.

She climbed up from the bed and looked up to see He Zhimo standing by the bed, staring at her in a daze. Shang You ignored him and raised her little hand without thinking to hit her dragon's tail hard, but before she touched the dragon's tail, He Zhimo's hand reached out and hit the back of his hand unexpectedly.

He Zhimo groaned in pain, but still held Shang You's little tail tightly to prevent her from hurting herself.

Shang You's eyes were still red and swollen. The little hand that had just hit He Zhimo trembled and curled up instantly. She pressed her lips in grievance and cried at him, "What are you doing! Who asked you to stretch your hand over here!"

He Zhimo let her be mean to him, holding her little tail tightly and said, "Youyou, don't do this, they, they said that if dad finds out and Youyou hurts your tail again, he will lock Youyou's hands, Youyou——"

Shang You stared at him with red eyes, tears falling down and landing on the back of He Zhimo's small hand. He Zhimo endured the pain and raised a small hand to wipe her tears, "Youyou, don't cry..."

Shang You was stunned for a moment, and she pushed his little hand away with all her heart and was about to climb down from the bed, but He Zhimo stretched out his little hand again to stop her.

"Yuyu, this is useless."

He Zhimo looked at her with his little face downcast. "After you ran away, I asked Uncle Doctor Feng carefully about it. We can't leave here if we run around like this."

Shang You also lowered her head, but couldn't help but secretly glance at the back of He Zhimo's hand which had just been hit red by her.

He Zhimo continued, "Just now, Sister Shuihe brought you back and said that you went to look for..." Before he could even utter the word "Dad", He Zhimo remembered what Shang You had said before. He was silent for a long time, then he had to swallow his words back and said again, "You went to look for him, but it was still useless, right?"

Shang You pursed her lips, clenched her hands tightly, pinched the flesh on her palms, and could only repeat in a muffled voice, "I hate him."

The scene Shang You described of his father hurting his mother flashed through He Zhimo's mind again. He looked at her with a pair of dark eyes and said with the same sullen face, "I will never forgive him either."

Hearing He Zhimo say this, Shang You's gaze towards him finally faltered a little, and she couldn't help but apologize with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I'm sorry..."

He Zhimo shook his head, lowered his little hand and coaxed her: "It's okay, brother doesn't feel any pain."

Shang You bit her lip, lay back on the bed silently, and covered the annoying dragon's tail with a blanket.

Although he had stopped crying, Shang You still felt a huge surge of grief when he thought about what that bad guy had said and the possibility that he would never see his mother again, and his shoulders began to tremble slightly again.

At this time, He Zhimo grabbed her restless little hand.

"Youyou, brother will find a way to leave here. Then, let's go find mom together, okay?"

Shang You raised her tear-stained eyelashes, "Really?"

He Zhimo promised her.

"Brother will definitely take you away from here."
