Night Mansion.
In the small pavilion by the lake, Ye Ling was fishing with a fishing rod, while Luo Lanxier was sitting on the other side of the pavilion reading a book.
There were open wooden boxes on the steps of the fence, with uneaten snacks and candies in them, which would occasionally be picked up by the girl next to them and put into her mouth.
"Fish, fish, come and take the bait~" Ye Ling, who was sitting by the fence, was holding a long fishing rod in her hand, fishing for the golden carp in her own pond.
"Meow~"
A black cat stretched out its limbs in Ye Ling's arms, stretched itself, rubbed itself against him, and then lay down peacefully, letting the afternoon sun shine obliquely on its belly.
"Xiao Hei, you've become fat, woo."
Rubbing the black cat's fur with her hands, Ye Ling looked at the large black cat with regret. She recalled how it was tiny when she first caught it and raised it, its voice so cute and adorable. But she fell asleep mid-sentence. This thing had grown up so quickly.
He pressed the black cat's forehead with his finger, making it move its head slightly, and then quickly retracted his finger when it stretched out its claws to fight back. Ye Ling started playing with the cat again.
Chirp~
Under the eaves of the pavilion, two small birds perched on a beam. The one with the chrysanthemum-shaped headdress glanced down. While Ye Ling and the cat were playing, it glided down stealthily, perched beside a wooden box of snacks, and peered over with its head tilted. It then quickly pecked at a chestnut, grabbed a piece of pastry, and flew back to the beam. Its nimble form was at odds with its fluffy frame.
Loran Hill, who was reading a book nearby, turned the pages. When he noticed it, he raised his eyes and saw the stealing goldfinches.
"He's stealing food again, this little fellow." The girl silently made a note of it and decided to reduce its meal today.
After arriving in Luojing, Luo Lanxier actually wanted to meet the witch of the dragon vein, that is, Chifeng. Unfortunately, after Tuogulie asked about the Chun official case, he never responded.
Although he knew that the Scarlet Phoenix resided on Yuzhang Mountain, Luo Lanxier was hesitant to force his way in. After all, no one knew what was inside. Recalling his experience underground in Mozwa, Luo Lanxier still felt a little scared.
If Titus hadn't prepared a substitute for her, she would have been petrified by the power left by the Salt Witch. As the Red Phoenix of the Plantagenet Dynasty, Suqin had no reason not to protect her tightly.
Just as she was thinking about things related to the witch and the Five Phoenixes, Ye Ling beside her seemed to be a little tired of fishing, or it would be strange for this lively little guy to sit there quietly and fish.
Ye Ling put the fishing rod down temporarily, then placed the black cat on the rod and held down the end of the rod.
"Stay here and don't move. If you catch any fish, I'll give you a snack tonight~" Ye Ling bent down and gave instructions to the big black cat, not sure if he understood or not.
"Hehe, that's it, don't move." Ye Ling looked at the black cat, and his dragon eyes blinked.
Seeing the black cat lying obediently on the fishing rod, Ye Ling finally stood up as if liberated, with his hands on his hips, as if he had done something great.
Then she turned around and ran to Loran Hill again.
"Well, Sister Luo Lan. How long will you stay in the East?" Ye Ling recently heard that Luo Lan Hill was going back to the Western Continent and was reluctant to let her go.
"I guess after this Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, I'll go to Longquan Bay. It's a big seaport leading to the west, and I think I can get a lot of news from the sea there."
"Well, I see." Ye Ling sat next to Luo Lanxier, wanting to lean on her legs and take a nap.
Although Ye Ling was awake now, his bloodline hadn't fully awakened yet, so he still felt sleepy. In a daze, the little guy leaned against Luo Lanshier and fell asleep, his body entering a rhythmic rise and fall of breathing.
Looking at the girl in his arms whose appearance had hardly changed, Loran Hill reached out and straightened her slightly, while also smoothing out some of her hair.
Her off-white hair was very soft, draped behind her head and in front of her body, framing her smooth little face. On her forehead were two small, milky white horns, about a finger long, curving slightly to the side. If you gently touched them, you could feel the hard threads on them.
It feels like she is a little dragon girl, Loran Hill thought to himself.
The dragon blood in Ye Ling's body is still awakening. According to some ancient books he has consulted, it is estimated that this little guy will not only have dragon horns and dragon wings, but also a long dragon tail behind him.
If she wanted to fully regain her human form, she would probably have to wait until she reached Sequence 8. Before then, her uncontrollable bloodline would reveal dragon characteristics.
But the little guy himself doesn't care.
At first, Loran Hill was worried that she would care about the changes in her appearance and become weird and ugly, but Ye Ling obviously didn't think so.
"But, this would be cool, right? It would make me look so awesome~"
Okay, okay, it’s hard for Loran Hill to comment on this, but it’s a happy thing to think this way.
The afternoon sun shines quietly in the courtyard of this night palace. The lotus leaves by the small lake sway in the breeze, causing ripples to spread across the water.
The fishing hook that had no fish interested before suddenly shook, and several golden-red carp gathered around it, bumping into each other and competing for the bait on it.
Poof!
The carp, having taken hold of the hook, tugged at the rod, its tail slapping the water. The black cat, resting on the rod, stood up in fear, staring at the rod as it suddenly moved and bounced.
Seeing that the fishing rod was about to break free from the fence and fall into the water, Loran Hill reached out and called the two little birds on the roof beam.
Chirp~ (I know~)
Two birds, one yellow and one blue, fell down quickly. The dark-capped blue jay grabbed the tail of the fishing rod abandoned by the black cat with its feet, while the goldcrest flapped its wings and grabbed the head of the fishing rod.
