The barrier in the sky absorbed some of the dragon flames from the star field, reflecting a red light that resembled a fiery sunset.
Under the red light, Hoshino's black pearl-like eyes sparkled, her little face was full of excited smiles, and her dragon tail swayed like a spirit dog, anticipating her praise.
Zhao Xi wanted to look him up and down.
It had only been a few days since I last saw him, but his head, wrists, and ankles had become like those of a normal human child, without any dragon horns or scales.
Only the dragon's tail and its black pearl-like eyes are somewhat different.
However, if he is captured by the Five Spirits Sect, there is still a way to force him back to his original form and take his scales.
When the dragon's horns and tail become like those of a human cub, it means he is about to enter the trial of inner demons and begin the process of forming his core.
As expected of the young prince of the Blackwater Dragon Clan, he is more diligent and hardworking than the average child. Even when Lin Che is not around, he cultivates on his own.
"What a good child!" Zhao Xi was overjoyed and immediately agreed, "The headmistress will make you something delicious, what would you like to eat?"
Hoshino was so happy she almost jumped for joy, shouting, "Meat! I want meat! Grilled meat, stir-fried meat, stewed meat~ and dried meat~"
"Woof woof woof~" Little Ding heard that there was meat to eat, and happily ran out of the cave and came to Zhao Xi to rub against her.
Zhao Xi thought, "Great! I was just about to roast a Vermilion Bird. I'll bring you the whole one tonight! Little Ding, do you want some meat?"
Little Ding barked happily twice and stuck out its tongue, clearly wanting food.
Hoshino squatted down and stroked the spirit dog's head, asking, "Could you give Xiao Ding a Vermilion Bird too, Headmistress? He's so big and needs to consume a lot of spiritual energy to transform, he grows so slowly."
Oh my, this kid has finally come to his senses. He not only knows how to cultivate himself, but he also knows how to care for others.
She clutched her chest, feeling relieved, and ran back to the kitchen to cook.
According to Xiaoxiantong, after she and Linche left, Xingye often brought the little birds to Xiaojia's house to talk to him, encourage him, and urge him to form his core and wake up quickly.
Xiao Ding also often lay in Xiao Jia's house.
After a while, Xiao Ding started following Hoshino.
Xiao Ding has only not yet grown into human form, but his intelligence and mobility are already no different from those of a human child.
He was clearly sprayed with dragon flames by Hoshino before, but he still took the initiative to forgive and forget. He's such a cute kid.
night.
Zhao Xi wanted to deliver two plates of roasted Vermilion Bird meat to the cave.
This is the cave where Hoshino hid and refused to come out after the Hundred Beasts Garden was attacked by Luo Haiqing.
He knew how to set up the breathing room, and he found a spirit stone mine to slightly change the feng shui, making the spiritual energy in this place slightly more abundant than outside.
Those kids went to the outer mountains to find blessed lands, partly to gain insight into the nature of the world, but Hoshino had already done those things a long time ago.
The insights gained from these reflections won't be many.
He decided to save that time and focus on his practice in the cave.
The big dog is still there.
Hoshino sat cross-legged on the futon, surrounded by wisps of colorful spiritual energy.
Xiao Ding tried to meditate, just like him, but his head kept nodding as he became drowsy.
Even the little birds in the cages were practicing their cultivation methods.
"Headmistress!"
Hoshino sensed Zhao Xixiang's arrival, opened his black pearl eyes, and jumped off the futon.
"Woof woof!" Little Ding woke up at his shout and rushed over, circling the food box.
Zhao Xi wanted to divide the Vermilion Bird Soup in the food box between her two children.
Hoshino, without even washing his hands, picked up the steaming hot roasted Suzaku with both hands, not even bothering to distinguish whether it was a leg or a wing, and took a big bite.
Chew it all together, skin and meat, bones and all.
They were chewing with a crunching sound.
Delicious juices mixed with oil dripped from between his fingers, landing on his clothes and the ground.
Zhao Xi thought that she had only ever seen beggars wolfing down their food when she was homeless. She had never seen such a way of eating in ages, and it stunned her.
It took her a while to realize what was happening, and she said angrily, "Hey, have you been eating like this all these past few days while I was gone? Why didn't you wash your hands?!"
Hoshino had excellent teeth and gnawed the bone into pieces, making a continuous crunching sound. He mumbled, "It's washed! But this one was just made, it's different from the ones in the cabinet. This one has more spiritual energy!"
"Did the spiritual energy keep you from washing your hands?!"
Hoshino shook his head as he ate, then nodded again: "Yeah! Not a single bit should be wasted!"
The first time he met the headmistress, she used this to trick him into staying in the main dormitory.
She did eat the meals prepared by the headmistress for a few days, but after a few more days, she went out with her teacher.
Although the dishes were all made by Little Fairy according to the headmistress's method, Hoshino, being a little foodie, could tell that the taste was different.
It tastes even better when it's hot!
Not only does it taste good, it's also full of vitality.
He buried his head in his rice, making smacking noises as he ate, utterly blissful.
He devoured most of the Vermilion Bird in no time.
The Blackwater Dragon can spew extremely hot flames from its mouth and is not afraid of being burned at all.
Since they had already eaten, Zhao Xi thought he shouldn't make him wash his hands again, but only told him not to do it again.
"Oh, by the way, I have a question for you..." She rested her chin on her hand, watching Hoshino stuffing his food, "Hey, eat slower!"
Hoshino didn't know what she wanted to ask, assuming she wanted to know if it tasted good: "Delicious! Everything the headmistress makes is delicious! Even Ding's poop..."
"Hello!"
Hoshino emphasized, "Little Ding's poop is really eaten by monsters! Headmistress, should we collect it now?"
"I don't want to talk about this right now!" Zhao Xi sighed, feeling a little embarrassed, and asked, "What kind of person was your father god before?"
"Father God..."
Hoshino suddenly stopped eating, even forgetting to chew, and a hint of wariness flashed in Black Pearl's eyes.
He didn't stare at Zhao Xi, but instead looked at Xiao Ding, who was also frantically eating, and the little bird with its head stuck in the cage, chirping, "Daddy, I'm hungry! Daddy, I want to eat too!"
Hoshino ate quickly over here, and Xiaoding wasn't slow either.
He's very big, with a big mouth. He can take half of the Vermilion Bird in one bite, and now he's licking the plate clean.
"Xiao Ding, take the little bird and the tiger out for a walk to digest their food. I have something to say to Xingye."
Zhao Xi wanted to release the tiger from the beast-taming enclosure.
Little Ding excitedly circled the tiger, sniffing it here and there, and even touched the tiger's butt with his paw.
The tiger was just a spirit pet, as docile as a big cat. It carried the bird's cage in its mouth and went out with Xiao Ding.
They left the cave, and Hoshino was still eating the last piece of Suzaku meat.
As he chewed, he said, "Father God is a very gentle person."
Zhao Xi rested her chin on her hands, smiled with narrowed eyes, and asked, "How so?"
Hoshino closed her eyes, recalling the past: "I was too young to remember clearly. I only remember that my brother broke a crystal before, a crystal used to control the sea. But Father God didn't blame him, and even treated the wound on the back of his foot..."
