Chapter 40
In the quiet afternoon, in the Dragon Palace, above the main hall, Yinglong sat on a soft couch, intently reading the history books in front of him. Below the hall, rustling sounds could be heard from time to time—the sounds were not loud, but they continued to come.
Ao Guang sent countless winks towards the source of the sound, but to no avail...
Well, no one can stop those two chasing and playing around below.
Ao Guang then turned to look again, and thankfully his wife was not disturbed while reading; she was reading very attentively.
On the desk in front of him was a thick stack of books, all of which recorded the history of the dragon race. Yinglong was flipping through them one by one.
To be fair, the Dragon Chronicles are quite detailed, recording all the major events that have happened to the Dragon Clan since the time of Pangu's creation of the world.
Yinglong saw the Dragon Clan from its origins to how it gained control of the four seas, and then how it opened up waterways and took control of all the waters in the world... He saw every single detail.
"How interesting. So this is how your dragon race came to be."
Yinglong held the small book, reading with great interest. Although she had been with the idiot for so long, she had never really learned about the dragon race... Although she was also a dragon, she was an ancient true dragon. When she was born, this little dragon race was still nowhere to be found.
The idiot has no idea where he is.
From the beginning of chaos, to Pangu separating heaven and earth, and then to Nuwa creating humankind, the beginning of life...
Yinglong read through the books one by one, until he reached the point recorded in the history books as it was during the reign of that fool.
She saw her own name, the idiot's name, Jia'er's name, and Xiao Yi's name among them.
The Imperial Censor of the Sea continues his diligent daily record-keeping, meticulously documenting everything from the disappearance of various sea creatures in the East Sea and the Dragon King's departure to quell the war, to the daily meals in the Dragon Palace and whether the young princes are cultivating peacefully.
"How meticulous!" Yinglong thought.
"So this child will be recorded in the future?" She touched her belly.
"Of course." The Little Dragon King nodded, then touched his wife's belly. Once the baby was born, they would be a family of five!
Yinglong looked at his slightly protruding belly and began to wonder how long he had been back.
Maybe, it's been over a year? The last time she came back was for that idiot's two-thousandth birthday. She said she would give him a birthday present, but then he said he didn't want anything, he just wanted her to spend as much time with him as possible. So she spent as much time with him as possible, and then their third child came...
...
Later, he did give her a birthday present, a carefully woven love knot.
The small love knot is exquisitely woven and decorated with rare and precious items, but what is most attractive is the color of the love knot.
This is a concentric knot with three or four colors, which is very rare.
At a glance, Yinglong noticed that the knot was made of four colors: white, gold, light blue, and dark blue. The person who wove it seemed to have put a lot of effort into it, as each color was used very evenly, making the whole knot look very layered.
It's like you're in me and I'm in you.
Yinglong touched the thread; it was smooth and didn't look like ordinary braided thread.
"What is this made of?" she asked the idiot.
The idiot seemed to be eagerly waiting for her to ask; as soon as she finished speaking, he blurted out:
"This is woven from the hair of you, me, and our child. I also cast a spell on it, so that no matter where you are in the world, I might be able to sense your condition..."
The idiot became more and more embarrassed as he spoke. He didn't mean to be so clingy on purpose; it was just that he missed her terribly whenever she went on a trip, so he thought of putting something on her body to watch over her in his place.
"Oh~" I see. No wonder he was being so sneaky when he gave it to her. She thought it was something shameful. Turns out it was a keepsake that held the tender feelings of a young dragon king...
However, they had more than one token of their affection.
"Then I'll reluctantly accept it!" Yinglong said proudly, feeling quite pleased with herself for the thought that this was something that the idiot had painstakingly woven day and night.
but.
"Wait a minute," Yinglong seemed to suddenly realize something, as if she sensed something was wrong: "You just said that this was woven from the hair of you, me, and our two children?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Ao Guang replied honestly.
So here's the question, Yinglong is thinking.
Their hair is easy to get, but the children's hair...
This love knot is woven so tightly, and it's quite big. It must have taken a lot of hair. Will those two kids let him pull out their hair without them even lifting a finger? The two little ones haven't even grown all their hair yet...
"Where did you get so much children's hair?" Yinglong asked in surprise.
"Oh, this? This is the children's first hair. I've been collecting it day by day since they were born and took human form," the Little Dragon King said honestly. This was the truth. When the children were first born, he always paid close attention to their every move, wanting to carefully collect every single thing that fell from their bodies… He loved doing this all the time back then, but no one noticed; everyone thought he was just cleaning…
"What?"
Is that really the case? He even collected the child's baby hair? Who would have noticed that?
So, he used to search for the child's hair under and on the bed every day after the child ate and slept? And then he would collect it after finding it?
Fine, let's just keep it. This guy hid it so well, he didn't tell anyone.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Looking at his wife's surprised expression, Ao Guang was a little puzzled. Otherwise, where did he get so much hair? Those two boys are already so tall they could fly to the sky. Could they just stay still and let him pull their hair out?
"Hmm, nothing's wrong." Yinglong took a deep breath, calming herself down a bit. Right, there really wasn't anything wrong. To her, she wasn't surprised by anything an idiot might do.
That's all he's capable of!
"So you like it?" Ao Guang asked eagerly, seeing that his wife seemed to accept it.
"Of course I like it." Of course she likes it. There's no need to ask. It contains things belonging to their entire family of four. How could she not like it?
Yinglong stroked the love knot, its "silk threads" delicate and soft, like the first silk threads spun by a silkworm. She then brought the love knot to her nose and smelled it; it seemed to carry the fragrance of two children.
Yes, the blue and gold ones are very beautiful!
"When this third child is born, will you still braid the third child's hair onto it?" Yinglong thought of the one in her belly.
"Of course!" That was beyond question. Ao Guang was now looking forward to his third child. After the child was born, he would carefully collect the child's hair and then meticulously weave it into his hair, so that the five of them could be together forever.
Well, when that idiot gets really cheesy, he can be quite cheesy. He always does things in unexpected ways.
“Then I forgive you,” Yinglong said abruptly.
Forgive what?
The fool didn't know what he had done wrong, or why his wife had forgiven him again... but since she had forgiven him, he figured it was probably nothing serious. So the Little Dragon King sat calmly, preparing to find a garment to drape over his wife.
Yinglong was completely absorbed in observing the techniques of weaving the love knot. Just as she finished admiring it and was about to take a good rest, below the main hall:
"Little Yi, Little Yi, come and chase me!"
"You can't catch me."
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me!"
This jarring sound suddenly broke out in the otherwise quiet and peaceful hall.
Yinglong and Aoguang had previously ignored the noise below, but now that they wanted to rest, they realized how noisy the main hall was!
Two little ones...
The two children were originally cultivating peacefully, but when they saw that their father and mother were too busy to pay attention to them, they started chasing and playing around in the main hall, completely forgetting that their father and mother were still there!
This is outrageous!
Yinglong coldly stared down below.
The two boys began running back and forth between the pillars of the Dragon Palace, chasing and dodging each other, their noisy chatter filling the air.
"Little Yi, Little Yi, you can't catch me."
"You'll never win over your brother."
Jia'er, taking advantage of his long legs, ran around everywhere, sometimes running and sometimes stopping, deliberately luring his younger brother to chase him.
Xiao Yi had short legs, and he ran in vain behind his older brother, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.
In the main hall, Yinglong had already frowned slightly as he watched everything below, and Ao Guang also sighed quietly for the two children.
The two showed no signs of stopping. Little Yi had short legs, and the more his brother teased him, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he became, the less he could catch up.
In a moment of desperation, he stopped and suddenly used a water manipulation technique. The seawater condensed into a water whip that flew forward and bound Jia'er. Seeing his brother bound, Xiao Yi ran forward excitedly...
Upon witnessing their youngest son use such water control techniques, Yinglong and Aoguang exchanged a glance, both of them astonished. This kid, at such a young age, already knows such water control techniques.
After tying his brother up, Xiao Yi ran happily to his side and peered at him with great interest:
"I caught it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the spell vanished abruptly, and Jia'er broke free from the water whip, then ran forward rapidly.
"Hehe, your magic is better than mine, but you still couldn't catch me."
Seeing his brother run away again, Xiao Yi became anxious. He was about to use the water control technique again when his brother, who was experienced this time, slid away far away in a flash.
"Come and catch me! Come and catch me!"
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, come here quickly."
Spurred on by his older brother, Xiao Yi's little legs moved incredibly fast, causing his face to flush red. The little boy ran while trying to use the water control technique again...
Right at this moment:
"Hey, you two, have you had enough of arguing?"
A deep voice descended, casting a dark cloud over the two boys, who abruptly stopped—Jia'er stopped quickly, coming to a complete halt. But Xiao Yi, having run too hard, couldn't stop in time and crashed straight into his brother.
Oh dear, I forgot that Father and Mother are still here...
As if they had just thought of this, the two brothers exchanged a glance.
Seeing their father and mother glaring at them with displeasure, the two brothers felt a momentarily calmer, but this comfort was short-lived. Looking up at their mother's belly, the brothers' thoughts shifted quickly. They glanced back and forth, then abruptly changed the subject:
"Xiao Yi, do you think it's a younger brother or a younger sister this time?"
"younger sister."
"Haha! So you like younger sisters too!"
"Mommy, Mommy, please give birth to a little sister! Everyone wants it!"
Ugh, I could forgive these two for arguing before, but now they've escalated their fight to the point of being unbearable—
"Shut up! You two little brats! Do you need a good scolding again?"
Mother has really lost her temper!
Jia'er laughed heartily as he hurriedly fled for his life:
"Mommy's angry, let's run!"
Xiao Yi received the signal, pouting as he ran away, muttering defiantly, "I wasn't making any noise..."
But the mother was incredibly powerful, and in an instant, the two of them vanished in a flash, and the Dragon Palace finally returned to peace.
Yinglong finally felt relieved and sighed.
"Finally, it's quiet..."
She rested her chin on her hand and said helplessly:
"These two are too much trouble; they're bound to cause us trouble in the future."
The Little Dragon King then draped a coat over her, and somewhat helplessly defended his two cubs, saying, "They're still young now, they'll be fine when they grow up..."
"Why!"
Yinglong didn't believe it. These two were getting more and more mischievous, they were never still for a single day, they were just too much trouble...
Ao Guang soothed his wife's breath, and at the same time, he decided that he would have to teach these two a lesson in the future.
