Chapter 42 Red Plum Blossoms
The two looked at each other and saw the despair in each other's eyes.
That expression seemed to say, "What should I do now?" and "Don't ask me, I don't know either."
Jiang Jiu and Long Xuan accurately detected the question in each other's eyes, and then they lowered their heads in unison, looking at the dragon egg with cracks growing bigger and bigger, not even daring to breathe.
With Long Xuan swallowing loudly, a small creature that looked no different from a loach hatched from the dragon egg.
It was gray, without a single scale on its body, and without the dragon horns that are the hallmark of the dragon clan on its head. No one would believe it even if someone said it was a Jiao.
“…”
Jiang Jiu's expression was indescribable. He was very doubtful whether this guy was a real dragon or a fake one, or whether Long Xuan had made a mistake.
"Are you sure this is a dragon?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm... probably..."
Hearing Long Xuan's uncertain tone, Jiang Jiu suddenly wanted to hold his forehead with his hand.
"Well, maybe it's because it wasn't hatched in the Dragon Abyss Pond, so... it's congenitally deficient?"
Long Xuan added again.
"Then you're even more miserable."
Jiang Jiu wanted to cover his face, and his understanding of Long Xuan deepened.
“…”
Obviously, Long Xuan also realized this problem. He accidentally brought the dragon egg out, and it hatched halfway, and it also hatched into this ugly loach in front of him. If the ancestor of the dragon clan found out, then...
Even if he fails to become the Dragon Lord, he will still suffer a beating.
Long Xuan was still thinking about how to fool him, but Ning Ning actually ran over and jumped high into Jiang Jiu's arms.
Jiang Jiu subconsciously hugged the cat and touched its head, but Ningning suddenly stretched out her claws towards the "little loach".
“!”
“!”
Under Jiang Jiu's horrified gaze, Long Xuan dodged Ning Ning's sneak attack.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Jiu's heart jumped into his throat. Fortunately, Ningning didn't swallow the "loach", otherwise the situation would be very serious.
"Think of a solution quickly."
Jiang Jiu used his eyes to frantically hint to Long Xuan to take the "little loach" away quickly, but Long Xuan just stood there motionless with a shy smile on his face.
"Um...Jiujiu, can I ask you for a favor?"
As soon as Long Xuan said this, Jiang Jiu had an ominous premonition in her heart. She looked at Long Xuan with vigilance, only to see his thin lips opening and closing as he said something that drove Jiang Jiu crazy.
"Can you help me take care of this little guy for a while?"
In fact, Long Xuan didn't want to either, but if he took 'Loach' back and told the ancestor that this was his grandson...
The scene was so beautiful that he dared not think about it.
He could only shamelessly ask Jiang Jiu to take in the "little loach" for a while. He would try to find a dragon spirit tree root to make up for its congenital deficiency, and then take the "little loach" back when it almost grew into a dragon.
“…Alright.”
Jiang Jiu rubbed her head helplessly. She couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so she had to agree. However, Ningning was here, so things were a bit troublesome and she had to keep an eye on him.
"Master! I can take care of it!"
At this time, Xiaobai came out from behind the door, pulling Xiaocan. Xiaocan looked at "little loach" with sparkling eyes, with an indescribable love in his eyes, which made Jiangjiu feel weird.
However, it is naturally a good thing to have someone to help take care of him, so Jiang Jiu did not refuse.
"Okay, thank you for your help then."
In this way, 'Little Loach' settled down in Xianyu Pavilion.
The 'little loach' looks small now, but it is actually more noisy than Jiang Jiu imagined. Every day, Long Xuan finds the right time to bring back special food for the dragon cubs, as well as various small toys.
Fortunately, it is relatively small in size, so Xiaocan and Xiaobai are enough to play with it.
Jiang Jiu kept it in the room. As a result, when Yun Shuili opened the door of Jiang Jiu's room, he saw a "little snake" about the thickness of a thumb flying in the air.
“....”
Yun Shuili's originally happy face suddenly became expressionless. He could feel the breath and knew that the ugly thing in front of him was a dragon.
"?"
Jiang Jiu watched Yun Shuili's expression change, completely unaware of what was going on in his mind.
The next second, she was pressed onto the bed by Yun Shuili.
“!”
Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly widened, not knowing what was wrong with Yun Shuili.
"When did Junior Sister and that dragon have a child?"
Yun Shuili spoke with resentment, which made Jiang Jiu stunned.
Before she could react, Yun Shuili had already laid on her chest and planted a red plum blossom, leaving deep and shallow marks. Jiang Jiu had no time to stop him.
Xiaocan and Xiaobai, who were originally playing with 'Little Loach', stopped moving and looked at the two people playing the stacking game with curiosity.
The ginger wine instantly became as cooked as shrimp, and he reached out and pushed Yun Shuili away.
"Don't be crazy, this is not Long Xuan and I's child!"
What Jiang Jiu admires most is Yun Shuili's ability to imagine, even though he hasn't asked her about it yet.
"?"
Yun Shuili stopped moving and looked at the "little loach" flying in the air with a suspicious look, and seemed not to quite believe what Jiang Jiu said.
There was no other way, Jiang Jiu had to explain the whole story.
At that time, Xiao Can and Xiao Bai were sitting obediently on the stools. Their innocent gazes were so cruel that they made Jiang Jiu feel uncomfortable all over.
"So next time, don't be jealous. There are children here!"
Jiang Jiu emphasized it again, fearing that Yun Shuili would do it again next time.
"?"
Yunshuili showed a puzzled look, then pointed at Xiaocan, Xiaobai, and the 'little loach'.
"Does this count? A child?"
He paused deliberately, leaving Jiang Jiu silent.
If you count them, Xiaocan and Xiaobai seem to be quite old, at least older than her.
"Well, mental age."
Ginger wine found a suitable term.
"Are you sure?"
Yun Shuili continued to ask, hugging his arms.
"...Don't dwell on this!"
Jiang Jiu got angry and she grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at Yun Shuili.
The pillow hit Yun Shuili's face. When he took the pillow away, he finally smiled.
"I just care too much about my junior sister."
He softened his voice and coaxed Jiang Jiu, his handsome face full of flattery, coupled with his voice that could almost make the ears pregnant, Jiang Jiu couldn't resist at all.
I was a little angry at first, but my anger disappeared in an instant.
"If you do this again next time, I won't forgive you."
Jiang Jiu was embarrassed and annoyed, and she was helpless about her own obsession with him. It always turned out like this. She shouldn't have forgiven Yun Shuili so easily.
"So when does the dragon plan to take this...hmm..."
Yunshui Li's expression became slightly serious, and his eyes fell on the 'little loach'.
"have no idea."
Jiang Jiu shook her head. Unless Long Xuan could find a way to make it grow up, it would have to stay with her.
