Dragon Scales
Twenty minutes ago.
Osvid finally completed his molting and woke up.
He was completely unaware of what was happening outside, only feeling that his dragon body and consciousness were split into two halves, one half filled with endless torment, the other half filled with intense pain.
It was just that the inheritance of countless dragon ancestors was forced into his brain.
As dragons enter adolescence, their dragon power rapidly transforms into nutrients to strengthen their bodies, just like an inflated balloon. Their bodies are now as majestic as a small mountain.
The process is very difficult.
The old scales on his body had fallen off one by one and lay on the ground like a ball of translucent gold flakes. The crystal-like spines on his back had become weapons that he could use, no longer as fragile as glass as before.
The dragon's nest that Carl found was very good, and there was a small lake in the cave.
Osvid dived into the water to wash off the mud and dust that had gotten on him from rolling around in pain while sloughing, and then he stood on the shore to admire the water.
After looking for a long time, he was startled when he heard a faint sound outside the cave.
Hey, hasn’t Baibai left yet?
He had watched other dragonets molt before, but the older dragons generally didn't care, going about their own business once they saw the little dragons were still breathing, so he hadn't thought anyone might be waiting for him outside.
In that case—
Of course Osvid wanted to call Bai Yuanzhou in to see his current style!
So, he shouted out loud, and sat cross-legged on the boulder, posing, waiting to see Bo Bo's surprised and envious expression!
Bai Yuanzhou and the others were some distance away from the dragon's nest. Firstly, they didn't want to disturb Osvid, and secondly, they couldn't get too close to the noise made by the little dragon, for fear of being accidentally injured.
Bai Yuanzhou ran over quickly after hearing Osvid's voice.
Inside the dragon's nest, Bai Yuanzhou frantically searched the ground for the dragon cub's traces: "Osvid?"
"Ahem!" Then, a familiar voice came from the dimness, asking excitedly, "How is it?"
Bai Yuanzhou paused and looked up. Light shone into the cave, and above it was not a weak little dragon cub, but a behemoth. Its golden scales were more dazzling than before, and its heterochromatic eyes were looking at him intently.
Seeing that Bai Yuanzhou didn't say anything, Osvid simply flew down to let the other party take a closer look: "Am I handsome?"
Bai Yuanzhou nodded this time: "Handsome."
He is still a little uncomfortable. He had to look down before, but now he has to look up.
"Hmph, let's see who still thinks I'm a little guy!" Osvid swung his tail.
However, Osvid still decided to transform into a human form. After all, in human society, a dragon this big would stand out wherever he went.
"Bobo, wait a minute!" Osvid said, and started searching among the large area of newly acquired inheritance.
Bai Yuanzhou responded, then began to stare intently at Osvid's claws on the left and his tail on the right, scanning every inch to make sure that Osvid was not injured.
After all, Osvid's shrill cry before made him a little scared.
After looking at the hind legs, the eyes moved to the abdomen.
This is the most vulnerable part of the dragon, he needs to look carefully.
At this moment, Bai Yuanzhou's eyes flashed and the dragon turned into a human.
A fair-skinned boy appeared before him, and what a coincidence...
Bai Yuanzhou quickly turned his head away: "..."
——You can’t blame him for seeing everything, right?
Osvid didn't have any psychological burden. Bai Yuanzhou had bathed him before, and dragons didn't wear clothes, so he didn't think there was anything shameful about the human body.
Osvid was a little puzzled: "Hey, Bobo, why are your ears red?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a coat was thrown to him in his arms, with Bo Bo's body temperature and a faint fragrance on it.
"Wrap it up first." Bai Yuanzhou said helplessly, "Next time you turn into a human, tell me in advance so I can prepare."
"What are you preparing for?"
"Clothes." And be mentally prepared.
Osvid nodded obediently, and then Bai Yuanzhou took out the clothes and shoes he had worn for training from the storage bracelet and handed them to him.
His hand felt lighter, and Bai Yuanzhou turned his back: "You change it."
There was a rustling sound behind him, and then the boy came over and asked, "Your waist is big and a little long."
Bai Yuanzhou lowered his eyes and saw the other person's head rubbing against his arm. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Can I not wear it?"
"No." Bai Yuanzhou refused mercilessly.
His training suit was not custom-made, but was issued by the team, so naturally it cannot be adjusted at will.
Bai Yuanzhou: "Lift up your clothes so I can see them."
Osvid did as he was told. He bent down to check. The boy's fair waist and abdomen were a little dazzling. Although he had unexpected muscle lines, the difference in their physiques still existed, so the elastic rope of the sweatpants was a little loose even when it was pulled to the tightest.
Bai Yuanzhou thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the jewelry your crazy brother gave you before? Find me a brooch."
Then he pinched the waist of the trousers, let Osvid loosen his grip, adjusted them to a suitable length, and fixed the excess part with a brooch.
"Is this any better?"
"Yeah, it won't fall off!"
"Shall we go out then? Everyone is still waiting for you."
Osvid nodded, then remembered something, picked up the fallen scales on the ground, and went out with Bai Yuanzhou.
…
The prompt sound for the end of the live broadcast sounded, and the people who were interrupted in the live broadcast room turned to the star network. The live broadcast room gradually became quiet, but the group of people waiting for the little dragon to shed its skin became lively.
"You mean... he's a cub?"
"How did Xiaolong become a human?"
"Handsome brother, are you really Xiaolong?"
Questions and shock flooded in, and Osvid nodded: "It's me! It's really me!"
Not everyone was as calm as Bai Yuanzhou, and this was not the first time Bai Yuanzhou saw Xiaolong transform into a human, so most others were still skeptical.
Seeing that everyone seemed a little unconvinced, Oswald took the initiative and said, "In that case, I will... transform for you now, just in time to show you the grown-up me!"
Just as Osvid was about to move, Bai Yuanzhou stopped him: "Maybe next time. It's not convenient now."
He didn't want Osvid to transform into a human in front of so many people...
On the way out, Bai Yuanzhou emphasized human civilization. Seeing this, Osvid did not insist anymore. He really did not have the energy to change anymore.
Osvid thought for a moment and said, "This is the dragon scale I shed. It means good luck to the dragon clan. I'm giving it to you. Thank you for staying with me."
It is obvious that this dragon scale is not a fake. Although it looks light, it feels heavy in the hand and can be bent, making it very tough.
No one doubted that they could get the dragon scales. Everyone was given one scale, and then Osvid gave one more scale to everyone except Carl.
Osvid felt that he should send more to those with whom he had a good relationship. After all, dragon scales were still very useful.
Seeing that he was the only one with only one piece of land, Carl, a favored child of heaven who had never been so "isolated" before, suddenly felt some subtle emotions.
This dragon really... clearly distinguishes between friends and strangers.
Although Elizabeth usually loves to tease her brother, she decided to be a caring little sister for a second: "Brother, be strong and don't cry."
In fact, his brother is not the only one who is special. Admiral Bai seems to be even more special. He didn’t get Xiaolong’s scales?
But Elizabeth didn't think that Osvid didn't want to give it to Admiral Bai. Who knows, maybe he got it in the Dragon's Nest.
But Duan Wenxing is different. This is one of the few good opportunities for him to mock Bai Yuanzhou.
"Hahaha, guess who doesn't have the dragon scales that Xiao Ao gave me?" He laughed arrogantly and moved closer to Bai Yuanzhou, "Hehe, it's not me!"
Bai Yuanzhou glanced coldly at Duan Wenxing, who was in trouble with the sword: "You didn't wipe the eye boogers."
Duan Wenxing choked: "...Just woke up, it's normal."
While Duan Wenxing was busy cleaning himself up, Ashe, standing beside Admiral Bai, couldn't help but take a step back.
Her intuition told her that Admiral Bai was a little unhappy.
Ashe looked at the cheerful cub who showed no reaction again, and was hesitating whether to remind him, when she saw Osvid pick out the only special scale that was not translucent from a pile of dragon scales.
Osvid smiled and handed it to Bai Yuanzhou: "Finally, this is for you, Bai Bai! You must keep it well!"
Bai Yuanzhou took it. The texture of this piece was different from the others. The dragon scales were very hard and the shape was a little different.
He quickly remembered that he had seen it before: it was the scale growing upside down at the bottom of Osvid's throat.
Isn't that just...
Bai Yuanzhou suddenly felt his palms getting hot: "Yeah."
The fingers quickly closed, but only lightly covered it.
Even though it had fallen, he still inexplicably didn't want others to see it... nor did he dare to touch the reverse scale that belonged only to Osvid.
