Chapter 16 Chapter 16 'The cub is so clingy it's scary'
Those amber eyes stayed quietly in the darkness, indifferent and irritable, with a faint black ominous luster flickering in the bottom of the eyes.
Si Chi had never been awakened in such a bold and direct way. He looked at the soft marshmallow-like child over there with cold suspicion.
In the deep and dark fifth galaxy, there exists a terrifying empire. This empire is made up of a special race with strong mental power - the Tayir.
Thousands of years before black holes existed, this race had disputes with the dragon race and never retreated.
They existed as an empire, with noble lords of all classes.
The Tayir people have a furry and adorable prototype, strong mental strength, and supreme wisdom, but behind this talent always breeds madness, and some troublesome characters will appear.
Most of the famous troublemakers in the past came from this race, which shows their overall racial status - strong and crazy.
However, today, thousands of years later, this race has gradually been forgotten. When talking about the most powerful race in the universe, all races will involuntarily think of the big bosses of the dragon clan.
There is no other reason.
Under the influence of the black hole, although the dragon clan is easily affected due to their strong mental power, the mental state of adult dragons tends to be stable as a whole. It seems that under the influence of the black hole's power, no more cubs appear.
The Tayir people are a different story.
Their mental power tends to explode as they age and reaches its peak at a certain age.
As a result, too many members of the Tayir tribe went crazy under the influence of the black hole. In the subsequent stage, the special mental power of the Tayir royal family semi-closed the entire fifth galaxy, and the fifth galaxy barrier was constructed by the royal mental power, which barely prevented a more serious situation from happening.
However, it is also subject to many restrictions.
As a result, the lifespan of the royal family has been continuously shortened, and the successors have become younger and younger. Si Chi is only seven years old this year, and he has taken over the fifth galaxy of the Tayir tribe for several months.
It is also customary to sleep while building a barrier to stabilize his mental strength.
For him, everything has been cold since birth.
The commanding words of the dying elders, the hiding gazes of other members of the royal family, the respectful yet fearful servants.
Beyond that, he doesn't need to know anything else.
And now, he opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar environment.
After just a little thought, Si Chi understood the current situation.
His mental power, while maintaining the barrier of the fifth galaxy, would also be "captured" and attracted by something. When his mental power gradually condensed to a certain level, it became the current state.
This kind of 'out-of-body control' can be considered a spiritual characteristic of the Tayir race.
So what happened to that soft little dough boy who was wearing baggy clothes and kept muttering “Daddy, Daddy”?
Is there anything here that could attract him?
Si Chi didn't move. He just lay quietly on the platform where the virtual network had not yet been built, quietly observing Xiao Li Mu.
Is this the cub of another race?
It is indeed very noisy.
Little Li Mu didn't realize that someone was quietly watching him in the shadows behind him.
He played with the sand molds for a while.
But he is not really interested in this aspect.
Perhaps it was because he had lived alone in the wild for a period of time before crossing here.
Apart from looking for food, the thing he did most often was digging in the sand.
Xiaolong put down the small shovel in his hand.
I looked up and looked around.
This is a new world opened up by little Li Mu's pupils and irises.
Everything is in initial mode, no other decoration or expansion has been done yet.
The smart assistant floated beside him and tried to ask Xiaolong if he had any other needs when he put down his toys.
But Li Mu didn't understand.
He opened his watery black eyes and looked blankly at the silver-white machine with two long ears floating over.
The smart assistant is almost melted by this little cub.
"Oh, baby, we have all kinds of toys and scenes to offer. What do you like? A cake shop? An exciting experience center? Or perhaps getting to know mechas and various weapons in advance..."
Along with its mechanical sound, the two long floating ears on its head shook.
But when this soft and gentle voice fell into Li Mu's ears, it was probably just - Aba Aba Aba Aba...
What is it saying?
Li Mu didn't quite understand.
There is a big question mark on the little head.
But it's still early now.
Li Mu clapped his hands and thought.
If he goes out now, his father may not have finished his work yet and will have to take care of him again.
Although the Light Dragon Family of the Magic Continent where he once lived lived in an uninhabited area, because of their light attributes, their family had connections with the Holy Church of the human race.
Every time the younger generation interrupts their work, the elders always feel a little impatient.
His brothers and sisters didn't care about this impatience. His brothers and sisters who were the Light Dragons were used to being lawless and didn't care if their mischief disturbed the adults.
Then he can go out later.
Little Li Mu thought to himself.
It was a surprise for him to come here suddenly, and he also got something he had never had before, so he shouldn't be too greedy.
Don’t disturb adults, be good.
Little Li Mu stood up.
He touched the long ears of the smart assistant next to him and began to explore the surroundings.
The smart little assistant followed closely behind him, so happy that he almost jumped into Xiaolong's arms.
He kept muttering to himself.
Xiaolong didn't understand.
But he will support it.
He would howl in response when the small metal ball behind him paused.
The smart assistant now also realized the communication barrier between it and Xiaolong.
It automatically detects the guardian and sends relevant inquiry requests.
Ding - Detected that the cub is tired of playing beach games, automatically retrieving warehouse data. Ding - There is a pile of amusement park gift data in the warehouse. Do you want to generate it?
Li Ming was discussing the Silver Dragon Clan's next course of action with Song Xi and others on the communication screen.
Apart from the normal competition among the dragon clans to release their mental power.
The powerful dragon clan will also deal with members of the surrounding race who have irreversible mental riots, and will also deal with the generated black holes to prevent the black holes from further expanding and causing greater impact.
This is also proof of the dragon race's strength in the eyes of other races, and the dragon race shoulders a large part of the responsibility in the interstellar space and is respected.
They are currently conducting further research and grouping based on relevant intelligence.
Suddenly there was a ding-dong sound.
Song Xi on the other side of the screen didn't even raise his head, his expression a little irritable.
“Who didn’t turn off the message reminder?”
The other dragons looked at each other in confusion.
"I turned it off, don't look at me!"
"It's none of my business—"
"Why do I feel..."
Until Li Ming reached out, clicked to accept, took a look, entered the key, and observed Xiaolong's situation in the virtual network.
He didn't think too much about it.
I just felt that Xiaolong didn’t stay in the virtual network long enough and was exploring further.
Li Ming's tone was calm, but he responded quickly.
"generate."
Surrounding Dragon: ???
A pile of gifts began to form in front of Xiaolong.
The little guy stood there, confused and curious, watching and waiting.
A smile appeared in Li Ming's eyes.
The dragon leader was sitting casually with his chin in his hand. Only then did he meet the indescribable gazes of his comrades and he smiled faintly.
"Because I'm a guardian, I have to take responsibility and find something for our Mu Bao to do. I'll have to accompany him after the meeting—ah, he's really clingy."
Other dragons: ...
There is a dragon and the reason is unclear.
——What guardian?
There were also those who knew the truth and were speechless.
It was Song Xi who spoke first, holding his forehead.
He really couldn't understand how Li Ming, this bastard, could become like this after only raising him for a few days.
"It's just another cub."
Song Xi frowned.
"What's so rare about it? Aren't you showing off a little too much in front of us?"
And clingy?
Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the cubs were clingy?
Song Xi really couldn't understand what Li Ming's mentality was at the moment, so he casually explained to the other dragons who were confused.
"Nothing serious. Li Ming just picked up a cub from our tribe. It must have hatched miraculously from a dragon egg left long ago. If you want to know more, you can go to the cub topic. There's an account starting with user that has posted a few pictures. That's the cub that Li Ming picked up."
"I wonder what it is."
"It's just a cub."
"Haha, what's up? You're so happy being a dad with a little kid clinging to you? I can't tell."
Li Ming just laughed in the face of all the ridicule.
"You know nothing."
"Yes, yes, we don't understand. Anyway, if I had a cub, I would definitely not let him disturb me during a meeting and stick to me."
A dragon spoke casually on the communication screen, organizing the information that had just been discussed.
Without waiting for Li Ming to speak again, the smart assistant sent another message.
"Ding—the cub sent a short video to its dragon parent. Do you want to watch it?"
This time the video playback selection is directly connected to the conference page.
Anyway, this stage has been discussed almost thoroughly, and there is nothing serious. It’s just that they all happen to be free at this time.
Li Ming clicks play.
Then all the silver dragons participating in the discussion saw a small video frame appear on their screens.
The chubby little guy with soft black curly hair didn't seem to know how to operate these things yet. He approached the screen aimlessly at first. When he was very close to the screen, you could see his thick eyelashes and his milky white skin stained with a little pink.
This little one is so tiny. With the persistent prompts and communication from the smart assistant, Xiaolong finally realized something and became more and more proficient in the pronunciation of interstellar language. His voice is soft and clear.
"dad--"
When the little guy is not smiling, he looks like a delicate and cool little doll, but at this moment, he pursed his crimson lips, and shallow dimples appeared on the sides of his cheeks, and he suddenly turned into a sweet little marshmallow.
He felt a little embarrassed. He had only been raised by Li Ming for less than a week, and Xiaolong was still a little timid, his little hands clutching the large black combat uniform that was automatically created by the virtual network.
He seemed to have learned some new words, tilting his head as he thought.
"Dad—Okay, Mumu, be good."
After saying that, she looked at him expectantly, "Is Mu Mu practicing well?" — It hit her right in the heart.
The video ends.
Li Ming sat up straight unconsciously and subconsciously put his hand on the play again.
But he soon realized where it was.
You will then save and close the video.
The online conference room was so quiet that it seemed as if all the dragons were holding their breath, but someone suddenly spoke.
"Press it—play it…"
Li Ming looked up and met the gaze of Yilong on the screen, who had just shown disdain for the cub.
That Dragon: ...
"Ahem, well, I saw you wanted to watch it again, and there's no rush anyway... The cubs are so clingy."
