Jiaolong did not answer Liu Yunqing's follow-up question.

As if having finished playing with a small toy, he lost interest and said:

"You're lucky. I'm in a good mood today. Find yourself a place to stay and leave on your own in a couple of years."

After the dragon finished speaking, it placed Liu Yunqing on the ground, gently nudged her away with its claws, and then turned and disappeared into the lake with a flick of its tail.

Only then did Liu Yunqing see clearly that behind the dragon was a vast lake. Unlike the other things, the lake was not red, but rather clear blue water.

No wonder the closer you get to this place, the less irritating the atmosphere becomes; it must be because of this lake.

Once the ripples on the lake had calmed down, Liu Yunqing didn't stand on ceremony and simply carved a cave into the mountainside near the lake to serve as a temporary dwelling.

The temporary cave dwelling was small, serving as both a secluded place for cultivation and a living room that could barely accommodate visitors.

When Liu Yunqing finished building his cave dwelling and was preparing to place the array plate at the entrance, he sensed another aura outside the cave.

Thinking it was Senior Jiaolong, Liu Yunqing hurriedly put down his things and went out to greet him, but he was nowhere to be seen, so Liu Yunqing had no choice but to retreat.

As soon as she retreated, Liu Yunqing sensed that aura again. She quickly turned around, only to see a small, swaying red tail.

Liu Yunqing was taken aback. Just as he was about to follow, he stopped and even deliberately concealed his aura.

Sure enough, after a short while, the departing aura approached again. After pausing slightly at the cave entrance, it poked a small head out into the cave, which Liu Yunqing caught.

"Huh? Where did this little dragon come from, daring to trespass into my cave? Catch it and make me soup!"

As Liu Yunqing spoke, he made a move to grab the little dragon.

Judging from the little dragon's appearance, Liu Yunqing had already guessed that it was probably a descendant of that dragon and was just teasing it.

I never expected this little dragon to be so delicate.

After hearing Liu Yunqing's words, she blinked her beautiful ruby ​​eyes and burst into tears.

"You, you're a bad person! Waaah, I'm going to tell Mommy!"

As she spoke, she turned around, dragging her cute little tail, and waddled out.

So cute!

So cute that Liu Yunqing couldn't resist grabbing the other's little tail.

"Waaaaahh ...

The little dragon, unable to run any further, cried even louder.

Liu Yunqing glanced at it, fearing it would offend Little Dragon's mother, and quickly said:

"Is your mother the dragon senior who lives in the lake? Did she send you here?"

Upon hearing Liu Yunqing mention his mother, Xiao Jiao's crying stopped abruptly. Tears still clung to his eyelashes, but his expression became exceptionally proud as he said:

"Yes! My mom is amazing!"

"So don't bully me! You can't beat her!"

Liu Yunqing followed the little dragon's words and said:

"Yes, yes, so what did you ask you to do here, senior?"

Hearing this, the little dragon remembered the important matter his mother had entrusted to him, and reluctantly opened his mouth to spit out a box, saying:

"My mother asked me to give this to you as a housewarming gift."

"A housewarming gift?"

Liu Yunqing was somewhat surprised.

How could a dragon be more particular about cultivation than she is?

Seeing the surprise on Liu Yunqing's face, the little dragon patted the box with its paw with a hint of pride and said:

"And there are some I picked out too!"

Liu Yunqing immediately feigned surprise and said:

"Wow, you even picked out a gift for me? Thank you!"

Little Jiao's face lit up with joy, but then, as if remembering something, he looked at Liu Yunqing with displeasure and said:

"I was picking out a gift for you, and you were just bullying me, so you're a bad person!"

Perhaps it was the environment here that made Liu Yunqing forget the troubles of the outside world and temporarily put aside the injustices in her heart, revealing the true nature of someone her age.

She also has a charming face, making her incredibly adept at coaxing children.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I didn't know you were here to deliver a gift. I thought you were some little demon who had wandered into my cave."

"But I know I was wrong now, so can you forgive me?"

Seeing Liu Yunqing's earnest apology, the little dragon felt a little embarrassed, but to avoid appearing timid, it deliberately held its head high like a small dragon and said:

“My mother said that it is the greatest virtue to admit one’s mistakes and correct them. Since you have realized your mistake, please don’t bully me anymore, and I will forgive you.”

Liu Yunqing quickly raised her hand to guarantee:

"I promise I'll never bully you again!"

The little dragon blinked its dragon eyes, then became happy and nodded to Liu Yunqing:

"Then I forgive you! Can we be friends?"

"ah?"

This turn of events was something Liu Yunqing hadn't expected.

But seeing the expectation on the little dragon's face and its predicament, Liu Yunqing understood.

The little dragon was just a young dragon, its cultivation level only equivalent to the Qi Refining stage of a human cultivator, yet it had already begun to speak human language.

Such a high-level demon beast would never befriend those low-level demon beasts who have not yet developed intelligence.

Little Jiao is now like a human child, at the age where he loves to play and be around people. It must be really depressing for him to have no friends around.

Seeing the little dragon's expectant eyes gradually turn to disappointment, Liu Yunqing nodded and held up a hand to the little dragon, saying:

"Sure! Let's high-five and become best friends!"

The little dragon's dim eyes lit up, its eyes widened, it nodded heavily, and then without hesitation raised its claws and pressed them into Liu Yunqing's palm.

"Then let's quickly set up our cave dwelling!"

Liu Yunqing stood up and nodded, saying:

"Okay, but I still have a little finishing work to do, so please wait a moment!"

The little dragon nodded blankly, but thought to itself, "Didn't Mother send it to deliver things after she saw that this place was finished? Why isn't it finished yet?"

After a while, the little dragon heard Liu Yunqing calling it. It wobbled over and saw that there was another room in the cave that had been dug earlier.

"Here, come find me in the future. If I'm cultivating, you can stay here by yourself."

The little dragon looked around the room, which was just a large pool, and suddenly understood. It stretched out its paw, pointed at the pool, and said with great joy:

"Did you dig this especially for me?"

Seeing Liu Yunqing nod, the little dragon jumped up excitedly, then chased its own tail around in circles on the ground before trying to remain calm and saying:

"Let's set it up first!"

This time, Liu Yunqing didn't refuse and opened the box given to her by the dragon senior together with Xiao Jiao.

As expected, the box was full of glittering treasures.

It perfectly suits the preferences of those with dragon bloodlines.

However, one comforting thing is that Senior Jiaolong has excellent taste.

Although these ornaments are magnificent, their designs are all relatively simple and elegant.

After looking through it for a while, Liu Yunqing found quite a few things that were full of childlike fun.

It seems that the senior had anticipated Xiao Jiao's behavior, which is why he prepared these things in advance.

After the cave dwelling was set up, Liu Yunqing tapped the little dragon's forehead and said:

"Come on, take me to see your mother."

The little dragon ignored them and jumped into the newly prepared pool with a "plop." After swimming twice, it slapped its tail on the surface of the pool and said:

"Mother said she's in seclusion! She wants you to see her when you're ready to leave."
