Lanhuadis 21
Grandma Laura arrived very quickly.
Dorothea almost flew close to the ground, dragging her mother-in-law with her until they stood in front of the table in the blink of an eye.
"Grandma is here! Move aside and let her see Xiao Qi!"
Grandma Laura wiped the dust off her face and, without caring about anything else, jumped onto the chair with her short stature and looked at the cub on the table, whose appearance had changed a lot.
The cub is a little bigger than when it was first picked up, and looks healthier. It is no longer at the point where you would have predicted it would die at first glance.
The most obvious change is the pair of small wings behind him.
From colorless and translucent to now covered with a thin layer of white, tender down. This is the state of the wings before they are spread.
Granny Laura first lifted the cub's red, swollen eyelids. After observing it for a moment, she pinched the base of the cub's wing and gently cut off half a feather with her mental power. Then she said in surprise, "...Your Highness has reached the standard for spreading wings."
"Today is indeed the day Xiao Qi spreads her wings," Wen Duolin recounted the whole story. "Xiao Qi suddenly fainted before spreading her wings, and we don't know what happened."
Dorothea: "Is it because of a congenital deficiency, or an undetected internal disease, that this happened suddenly?"
"I asked a doctor before, and he said that Xiaoqi will enter a critical period after eating eggshells. Is the critical period coming early?" said Xilting.
"I know what the doctor meant."
Grandma Laura pondered: "What he meant is that the little prince is weak. When he eats eggshells, the special substances in the eggshells will regulate his body and keep him healthy."
"Once the eggshell material is completely absorbed and he draws energy from other foods, his body will lose the protection of the eggshell's special material and will likely enter a dangerous period."
"But you just said that the young prince had just finished eating the eggshell. How could he have digested it completely? The dangerous period won't appear until he's been away from the eggshell for at least five days."
They gathered here in a circle but couldn't find out why the cub fainted.
Silence turned into anxiety as time passed.
Grandma Laura was already a top cub doctor, but she shook her head: "Let's find another doctor."
Over the next two days, almost all the doctors in Lanhuadis were invited to their family's castle. However, most of them came with full confidence and left in silence.
The cub gradually became thinner.
Otherwise, the little meat that is grown with great effort will be consumed and the animal will become a skinny little ball.
The news that the late king's seventh child was born with a congenital defect and might die young came from nowhere but quickly spread throughout the country.
…
Military academy.
Jamimi hummed a song while secretly copying homework.
He has a cute baby face, round eyes, chubby cheeks with two candies bitten in them, giving people a feeling that he is very well-behaved, sweet and sensible.
I successfully cheated on the last exam!
Only the top 1,000 are eligible to take a long vacation and go home. I don’t know if I can successfully make it into the top 1,000 this time... Jamimi was lost in thought as he wrote.
He combined the preferences of teachers of various subjects and filled all the questions on the test papers that he didn't know how to answer and didn't copy down with flattering words praising the teachers.
Hmm.
I hope the teacher can give him some more points for his hard work because of his neat handwriting and sincere flattery.
"Kamimi, are you still doing your homework?" Bernie patted Kamimi's shoulder.
The bloodline hierarchy in the military academy is not so clear. Everyone is a classmate, and basically there is no need to address each other as "Your Highness" or "Duke". Instead, they call each other by their names.
"Yeah, it's time to hand it in. Ah... history is really hard to handle."
Jia Mimi yawned and looked at the time. "You should go back to the dormitory first. I'm probably going to sleep late today."
Bernie: "I haven't asked you yet. Why did you spend a lot of money to bribe that person to help you cheat last time? Didn't you say that your family was boring?"
"Haven't you heard? My little brother has hatched. My eldest sister, second brother, fourth brother, fifth sister..." Jia Mimi counted on her fingers, her expression gradually getting excited. "They will all rush back. What if I am the only brother who doesn't go back? What if Xiao Qi doesn't kiss me?"
Unacceptable!
He has been the youngest for more than ten years, and finally there is someone younger than him!
How could he not be excited?!
He has never experienced the feeling of being called brother!
Before Xiaoqi hatched, he was the one who talked the most to the egg in the family.
I heard that the first family member Xiaoqi met after breaking out of the shell was his second brother. Humph, then he is probably closest to his second brother now. But it doesn’t matter. As soon as he comes home, Xiaoqi will definitely like him the most!
The boy's expression shifted back and forth in a fascinating way. He punched the air twice, then sighed and slumped down on the table, head resting on his arms as he finished his homework. "Damn exam..."
"Uh..." Bernie hesitated, "Gamimi, didn't you hear?"
Jamimi was bored: "What?"
Bernie: "You've been busy preparing for cheating on the exam, so you probably don't have the energy to listen to rumors."
"Your family has consulted almost every doctor in the empire these past few days. Everyone is saying that the late king's youngest child, your brother... might..."
The boy's laxity slowly disappeared, and he inexplicably exuded a captivating aura.
Jia Mimi slowly sat up straight and said expressionlessly, "What will happen?"
Bernie swallowed and said, "...will die young."
Bang!
The table fell to the ground.
Bernie blinked again, and the boy who was just in front of him disappeared without a trace.
-
Ning Ren is still unconscious.
There was even difficulty in eating.
Carlos' room was turned into a treatment room. The cub's bed was placed on the big bed. A small ball of cub lay curled up in it, its long eyelashes always wet.
The cub's hands were clenched into fists, protecting his chest, and his face was extremely pale.
Because the cub was shivering slightly, Carlos and his companions thought he was cold, so they covered him with a thick blanket, tucking the four corners tightly to prevent any air from leaking in.
The discarded syringe came in handy again, and Carlos squeezed food into the cub's mouth bit by bit.
The eggshell powder that Xierting packed showed its effect. They didn't dare to feed the cubs anything else, so they used eggshell powder mixed with water and a small amount of heart's blood to feed the cubs.
At first, he could barely maintain a stable energy supply for his body, but later he vomited everything he ate. Even the heart's blood, which usually had a strong attraction to him, failed to arouse his appetite.
The cub seemed to have fallen into a deeper coma, its perception of the outside world continued to decline, and it resisted receiving energy from the outside world.
The only thing you can feed it now is water.
The situation was getting more and more serious. The few doctors who stayed behind were talking in low voices next to the bedroom, their brows furrowed. Even with all their knowledge, they couldn't come up with any solution.
It was in such a dull and depressing atmosphere that Jamimi broke into the house, his impetuous and impulsive teenage nature clearly revealed.
He ignored the butler Nimanson's low exclamation, quickly locked onto Carlos' bedroom, pushed open the door and rushed in.
Then the boy froze in place.
Inside the house, Wendoline, Carlos, Xierting, and Dorothea were all there. They all looked towards the door at the same time, their expressions of astonishment and surprise: "Gamimi?"
Xierting: "Xiao Liuzi, shouldn't you be in school now?"
“…I skipped school.”
The young man slowly released his hand from the door frame, pursed his lips, and walked over step by step.
He saw his younger brother lying on the crib at a glance.
...My younger brother whom I haven't met yet, but whom I've been looking forward to for six years.
It was cute, cuter than he had imagined countless times.
However, his younger brother was only as big as his palm, his little face was extremely pale, his brows were frowned, and his face was full of tears. He looked extremely wronged, helpless and sad.
The whole body exudes the signal that one is weak, fragile, and needs to be cherished and protected.
Jia Mimi was silent for a long time: "If I hadn't heard about this at school, would you have kept it secret from me?"
He lowered his head, and the shadow of his hair covered half of his face.
"I have grown up. Xiaoqi is your younger brother and also my relative." It was his youngest relative that their parents asked them to take good care of before they died.
"So, why didn't you send someone to tell me about Xiao Qi's situation?" The young man clenched his fists slowly. He tried his best to lower his voice and spoke word by word, "Are you waiting until Xiao Qi is really gone before sending someone to notify me to attend my brother's funeral? Back then, Third Brother—"
Dorothea: "Six!"
Carmi's voice suddenly stopped.
The atmosphere in the room became even more depressing. He glanced at Carlos and Xierting, shut up, and sat aside: "I want to know about Xiaoqi's situation."
Dorothea went over and whispered to him.
Carlos took a cup of warm water, dipped his chopsticks in it, and moistened the cub's dry lips.
However, at this moment, the cub suddenly turned over, jumped out of the crib and fell on the big bed. He still did not open his eyes, but sniffed around on the big bed, and groped slowly with his hands, as if looking for something.
Carlos and the others were stunned for a moment, then gathered around him and called out to him in a low voice, "Xiao Qi?"
The cub seemed to be sleepwalking, gesturing on the bed with its right hand. It was unclear what it was trying to do or what it was dreaming about.
Xierting: "...Xiaoqi, what does this mean?"
Wenduolin looked at it for a long time but didn't understand.
Carlos frowned and subconsciously glanced at the cup of water in his hand. He tentatively placed the cup next to the cub, who immediately groped for it and dipped his fingers in the water.
Then I started drawing on the bed, then dipped it in water, and drew again.
Carlos and others studied it for a long time but still didn't find any pattern. It was just a mess.
The cub was tired of drawing and returned to its previous sleepy and motionless state.
And the "ghostly talismans" also disappeared little by little as the water evaporated.
Only the system knew that the scrawled symbol actually consisted of only four characters, the first of which was "刃" (Blade) that Asulin had taught him to write.
It said: A Ren, go home.

[? ? ? ]
[The familiar army of question marks appeared in the live broadcast room ()]
[Holy crap! I'm totally confused. Xiao Qi's name is Errigalan?! Isn't this the character Asu Lin mentioned when he told A Ren a story? Is this a reverse time travel?]
[The point is, if Xiao Qi is Errigalan, then he will definitely die.]
[Oh, I've been at Eggshell for six years. Counting on my fingers, there are still ten years left. Hmm...it's hard to say. I wish you success in your upvote.]
[No, my child is so cute and adorable, and you're telling me he's a future mortal king?!]
[Ah, what’s going on? I can’t understand the comments anymore…]
[You can go and watch the anime version of [Aren’s Growth Journey] in this live broadcast room to make up for the previous one. After watching the part about the city of chaos, you will understand.]
[The wound just healed, and we discovered that the medicine used to heal the wound is actually poison () Anchor, you know how to kill us (.)
[I don't believe it!! Zizi didn't spread his wings, maybe it's just a coincidence! How can I trust the anchors on the scam list (punch this world to pieces) (punch this anchor's head to pieces)!]
[Heh, I'm used to it. If I'm not destroyed, the new kid's ending is already determined. It won't be worse than Ah Ren's. I'll just have to wait and see. What if he gets destroyed again?]
[+1, the shield is now extremely strong (lights a cigarette)]
The system was not surprised that the "question mark" appeared again in the live broadcast room.
It was very worried about Ah Zai's condition, but it also knew that there was only one thing it could do at this moment.
After the cub had painstakingly written the four words "A Ren" and "Go Home" in a crooked, scribbled style, the system edited a new message under the already buzzing livestream topic:
[Arenzai's Growth Journey Part 2: Rebirth as Errigalan.
Summary: After his death, Aren did not truly disappear, but instead became the natural born king 'Erigaran' in the story my father told me...
Hey! You didn't expect that!
The new cub is the old cub!
The system thoughtfully posted a screenshot of the four words "A Ren, go home" written by the cub, fearing that no one would understand it. It also added annotations in the universal language of the universe, and then quickly exited the live broadcast room.
It lit the fuse of the firecracker and ran away. It could vaguely hear the sound of the live broadcast room's barrage exploding, but -
The brave ones never look back at the explosion!
