Chapter 22 Chapter 22 It should be up to us blue dragons to raise the cubs...
The starship that has been briefly stagnant in the sea of stars is like a lone leaf boat drifting in the vast and endless dark ocean.
Behind the surging waves, looking up, you can see the golden dome light, and at this moment the light turns into flying snow fluorescence, floating down.
Like the last clear place in the storm.
With a little warmth and peace of mind.
The golden light was like a phantom and did not accumulate. It disappeared without a trace on the ground and in various instruments.
But when they reached out to touch it, the light slowly merged into everyone's body.
It brings a sense of comfort to busy people who are in a hurry on the road. Fatigue naturally comes over them, and they just want to fall asleep on the spot.
Holy light magic.
The magic that was once called the relics of God in the magic continent.
The Light Faction, led by the Light Dragon and the Holy See of Light, stands at the highest position, arrogant and indifferent, and only values the most orthodox and pure bloodline magic.
I don’t know if it’s because of the mutation, but little Li Mu has always been a half-baked person.
Even with the lamb backing him up this time, the little guy still felt very uncomfortable. He wasn't tired, but he had no strength in his body, as if his mobility gauge had been drained all of a sudden.
He fell down in a daze.
It's just that he fell from the cold snowy and sandy nest into a warm embrace.
Then this embrace covered him up like a thief.
Li Hua was still immersed in the scene just now.
The pitch-black little dragon held its tail in its mouth, looking pitifully and longingly at the home that had no room for it, and cried softly and cautiously, wondering if there was anyone else in the world who could love it.
How come no one likes you?
My heart was being pulled at again and again.
Li Hua couldn't understand what he had just seen, whether it was something he imagined or something that really happened.
In such peace, he had only one thought in his mind - why didn't he fight with his brother for the custody of this little guy?
His brother didn't think much about raising him at that time, but he took him over because he saw that little Li Mu had a strong stress response and they got along well on the road.
Li Ming: ...
Li Ming immediately thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
He reached out and cleaned his ears with his gloves, then looked at Li Hua's expression, and gestured for him to say it again with an expectant look.
—You better give it to me, okay, okay, tell me.
But it didn't work.
Li Hua held the soft little guy and started analyzing it.
"Mumu's health isn't good, and my job is just right for it. I have more time than you do. Besides, weren't you impatient to raise the cub before? It's just right for me to take care of it, leaving you time and space to continue your misdeeds... No, it's for physical exercise. Besides, doesn't uncle sound good? You've only raised him for a week or two, and the child is still young and doesn't remember much..."
Then Li Hua was speechless.
Because Li Ming grabbed his collar.
Li Ming showed a 'brilliant' smile on his face, and the golden fluorescence around him, which was slowly disappearing, was not as bright as his silver hair.
"Let go of me, and take my son from my family."
Good man, I was on high alert, but now a thief has come to my house? You're calling me uncle, you're so bold!
Li Ming grabbed Li Hua and shook him back and forth angrily, but he didn't dare to shake him too hard, after all, his little dragon cub was still in his arms.
Li Hua's eyes were dazed, but he still held the cub tightly and refused to let go. Finally, he let out a long sigh, feeling that it was something he had expected.
"Is it really not possible?"
"Of course not."
Li Ming's face turned dark and he grinned.
"How about I send you back into the dragon egg and grow you again? Give me Mumu."
"Oh, you have this ability."
Li Hua felt pain all over his body.
It’s not that he is not used to fighting, but he was dragged back from a state where his mental power was about to explode. If Li Hua’s mental power was not strong, he would have fainted like Tong Jia at the beginning.
He held Xiaolong tiredly, but still had the mind to make jokes.
Li Ming took the soft little ball from Li Hua's arms.
The little guy closed his eyes tightly, curled up his body, and still smelled a little like milk. He probably accidentally spilled some of the cub's milk on himself in a panic when he received the invasion alarm.
Li Ming's face didn't look good.
He hadn't realized it when he rushed back.
It was not until he actually held little Li Mu in his arms that he realized his fingertips were trembling slightly.
It's been less than two weeks.
This little guy has left an indelible mark on everything around him.
This made the silver dragon, who had always been arrogant and domineering, feel weak and afraid.
Is there a possibility of accidentally losing one's own cub?
Li Ming didn't want to think too much.
Refuse to know another answer.
Just hold Xiaolong carefully.
Hearing Xiaolong whimper, it seemed that he smelled the scent on his body and snuggled even closer to his arms.
The people who got drilled became soft-hearted.
"I just checked and it seems he fell asleep briefly due to exhaustion, but it's not as serious as last time. He'll wake up soon."
Li Hua also stood up slowly.
There wasn't much talk between the two, but they already had a tacit understanding.
The current situation was immediately linked to the last time Xiaolong was sick.
Tong Jia is in a coma and Xiaolong falls ill.
Tong Jia's mental strength was inexplicably pulled back from the dangerous level to a safe level.
For no reason?
Nothing in this world happens without reason.
Just like this warm golden snow.
"What on earth is this—"
Wentai, lying on the ground, did not see the specific situation clearly.
When the brilliant golden light completely covered the dark pupils, Xiaolong had already been held in Li Hua's arms.
He could only slowly wake up in astonishment, and the dull and crazy desire for destruction was receding like the tide.
He could neither understand nor explain the situation.
It was obvious that he had already embarked on an irreversible path.
This place is too messy after the impact.
It is not suitable for Xiaolong to rest.
Li Ming held his own dragon cub in his arms and stepped on Wentai's belly without hesitation, as he was still in deep thought.
Wentai was stepped on and gasped, but before he could finish his breath, Li Hua stepped on him again.
There were hurried footsteps around the corner.
Li Ming's voice was cold.
"Inside, where is your clan leader?"
The sound gradually faded away, and he was firmly controlled by the familiar blue dragon that rushed in.
The blue dragon, who had regained his composure at this moment, seemed to have finally regained his sanity and turned back into the knowledgeable and elegant blue dragon in the interstellar space. He was pressed down firmly, revealing a bitter smile, and tried to stretch out his hand to show his surrender.
"I won't resist. I'll tell you everything later."
The words of the guy who escaped briefly and was caught in time but still caused certain problems are not credible.
The members of the Blue Dragon clan temporarily put down their elegant masks and became cold and silent.
"That cub just now—"
Wentai didn't pay much attention to their attitudes. He just recalled the panicked little face, the well-behaved and tender face, and the warmth that followed, which belatedly touched the soft spot in his heart.
"Is he alright?"
The Blue Dragon Clan finally lowered their heads and paid attention to Wentai's expression, but at this moment they were still indifferent.
"We don't know. It's best for you to keep quiet now. Your trial and questioning will take place in two days."
Wentai wanted to say something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw someone bending down to pick up the metal syringe.
His expression suddenly changed.
"Put it down! Use the highest level of isolation equipment! There's contamination in there from the black hole..."
The blue dragon picked up the syringe and looked back at him.
Wingtech was confused and dazed.
"How... is it possible..."
——The dangerous substance that was originally filled in the syringe has now disappeared completely, as if it had never been used.
*
The little dragon cub felt a little dizzy from sleeping.
But the sufficient rest he had before caused a sense of contradiction between his body, mind and energy.
In the end, he could only half open his eyes in a daze at the lamb's urgent call.
Xiaolong's head was still dizzy and his body felt light as he looked at the small ball of light flashing in front of him.
He let out a soft whimper.
The lamb's light dimmed even more, on the verge of fading, and the lively mechanical voice was filled with concern.
'Baby? Baby, how do you feel now?'
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
Li Mu trembled slightly, recalling the aftereffects of the last time he used purification magic, and felt a little bit of childish fear.
"Is Mumu going to get another injection?"
Although injections are good for him, children still don't want to get injections if they can avoid them.
The little guy was leaning sideways in someone's arms, but because he had just fallen asleep for a short while, he hadn't noticed that Li Ming had returned.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, baby."
During this time, Xiaoyang quickly reviewed Xiaolong's brief report for the past two weeks.
"Zizi has been in good health these past two weeks, and the lamb is able to hold on. Our Mumu is amazing, and he's a little dragon who can use light magic!"
The little ball of light moved, as if trying to straighten its chest.
But before Xiaolong could say anything else, Xiaoguangtuan suddenly became a little depressed again.
"But the little lamb is still so useless. He couldn't even get the system to normal standby for such a long time, and he even left you alone in such a dark place... wuwu..."
It clearly knew that the little dragon had frozen to death in a dark and cold place, but it still left the little guy there.
"And it seems that the dragon head I found for you, cub, has also had problems. Woohoo, this is such a useless system, little lamb."
Li Mu's body was still curled up, his consciousness was still a little dazed, he was only roughly awake, but his fingers were so tired that he could hardly lift them.
Looking at the small ball of light that flickered in front of him, the soft little guy slowly stretched out his hand and gently picked up the small ball of light in his arms.
"It doesn't matter. Mumu is already very happy. Xiaoyang is also a very important family member of Mumu. He won't be useless."
For Xiaolong, the fact that he can appear here and be next to his father and uncle is already the biggest miracle.
The little ball of light flickered for a moment, and the next moment it cried even louder.
"But I got Mumu's dragon parent wrong. How could it be a silver dragon? Silver dragons are the most brutal and aggressive dragons in this galaxy. Their facilities are also the simplest and least comfortable among all dragon tribes. My little one, you are not being bullied, are you?"
As the lamb spoke, it hid in the dragon's arms.
"I clearly found a Blue Dragon parent for you, and even thoughtfully arranged for the alarm to go off if I couldn't find you. How could this still happen?! Why are Blue Dragon parents so incompetent?"
This is a cub! A one-of-a-kind dragon cub, why hasn't anyone snatched it up?!
The cubs are the treasure of the race.
All cub systems act based on this concept. The cub systems have extremely strong empathy and love for the cubs, even so strong that they are still debugging and cannot operate normally. They always want to give the cubs the best they can.
The lamb is just a system waiting to be run and debugged. It has low stored energy and actually has no authority to perform tasks, otherwise so many errors would not have occurred.
But when it met the little dragon in this situation, it rushed forward without hesitation.
Xiaolong had not been able to figure out the situation before. He listened blankly, curled up and hugged the lamb. The lamb's last mumbling was in interstellar language. Li Mu roughly understood it and caught the key words.
"Blue Dragon Parent...?"
Isn't Dad the head of the Blue Dragon family?
But isn’t Dad a color-matching dragon?
The dragon race does not have the habit of wandering around in their original form.
Li Mu did not learn the word silver dragon.
As a result, Xiaolong always thought that his father was a two-toned dragon with a blue body and silver wings.
I even felt very sympathetic when I imagined it at one point, because when I thought about it this way, it didn't seem much better than the pure black dragon.
This is really a wonderful misunderstanding.
"woke up?"
Li Ming and Li Hua heard little Li Mu repeating Lan Long's parents' words in a daze.
The two dragons looked at each other, and Li Ming slightly adjusted the position of the little dragon.
The little guy half-closed his eyes and saw his father's face clearly against the light. His eyelids suddenly lifted a little more and he stretched out his hand softly.
"dad."
The matter was done, and it seemed that the Silver Dragon Clan had taken good care of the little dragon. The lamb rubbed the little cub soothingly, turned on the companionship mode, and remained quiet.
The system is just an auxiliary after all, and they will leave eventually. The cubs cannot rely too much on the system, because this is a new life that they have opened up for the cubs and they need to create it themselves.
Li Ming lowered his head and let Xiaolong's soft little hand touch his cheek.
He rubbed affectionately against the baby in his arms, holding him tightly.
"Why don't you run? Wouldn't it be better to just leave your uncle there?"
The starship is now in autopilot mode. The other dragons have been affected by the pollutants and are now sleeping in the treatment cabin of the medical room. Li Ming is still a little angry.
From the anxiety of knowing the unexpected situation, to seeing his own baby leaning on his uncle's arms, including the confusing voice of the Blue Dragon Parent just now.
Oh, Blue Dragon parent?
Li Hua is fine, but what kind of parent is Lan Long?
He thought he seemed to be a little jealous.
"Hello."
Li Hua was sitting next to him fiddling with something with his head down, and was dissatisfied when he heard this.
What do you mean just leave him there?
Is it not okay that he has a good relationship with Mu Mu?
Mu Mu likes her uncle, and Mu Mu is reluctant to leave him aside. That’s the reason!
Xiaolong roughly pieced together the meaning from the words he understood, tilted his little head, and touched his father's nose again.
He seemed to have no energy to laugh.
The beautiful and delicate little doll-like child half-raised his eyes lifelessly.
"Dad, stupid."
"Um?"
Li Ming: ???
It would be fine if I didn't get any comfort, but what does it mean to be described as stupid?
"Dad, Mumu is waiting for dad."
Xiaolong said softly.
——Dad asked Mumu to wait for him here, so Mumu, don’t leave, Dad hasn’t come back yet.
Li Ming looked at the well-behaved little dragon, his awkward mood disappeared, and there was a momentary blank on his face.
"Mumu likes daddy."
Xiaolong said this very fluently.
It seems that he practiced it many times in private.
The little guy had learned the word "like" a long time ago, but had never expressed it to Li Ming. Li Ming had previously thought that the little guy probably didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
Until now.
"Mumu likes daddy."
Even if dad is not a color matching dragon, he will like it.
Li Hua couldn't help but look over.
Looking at the little guy showing his white millet teeth, trying hard to smile, and touching his father's cheek, the fierce adult dragon tenderly lowered his face, which was very heartwarming.
Damn it, Li Hua never thought that he could see this kind of emotion in Li Ming.
Besides feeling jealous, he had just read through all the topics about the cubs on StarNet.
Some beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Why didn’t you say anything when you were looking for an adoptive father for Xiaolong?
But who would have thought that this cub would be so well-behaved and so cute——
"Excuse me, please."
The person outside the door seemed to have been waiting for some time.
But the heartbreaking father-son atmosphere in the house never stopped. He couldn't help but harbor doubts in his heart, so he knocked on the door and then walked in gracefully.
The man was not wearing a military uniform, but a more comfortable and gorgeous dress. The thin chain on his single-frame glasses dangled slightly, contrasting with his beautiful blue hair. His white fingertips gripped the door handle, and his suspicious and strange eyes fell on Xiaolong in Li Ming's arms.
The little guy heard the noise and turned his head to look over here.
It is a very small cub, estimated to be less than five years old. It curls up in its parent's arms, its big watery eyes clear and beautiful.
He tilted his head, as if one could infer what he wanted to say from his movements - who is this?
Zhu Xuan adjusted his cuffs.
"May I ask what the Blue Dragon Parents...mean?"
Blue dragons are a very intelligent race.
He looked at Li Ming and put the whole thing into context.
"So this is the cub you brought back from the abandoned planet?"
Could this also be the reason they received a distress signal?
It’s no wonder that Blue Dragon didn’t think in this direction before.
The distress signal must be carried out with the help of equipment and instruments, but Li Ming took the cub away empty-handed, leaving nothing else on the planet.
It is obviously unrealistic to associate this distress signal with the cub.
But if someone 'abandoned' the cub there, decided to entrust it to them, and sent such a strong distress signal to the Blue Dragon Clan before leaving, that would be another matter.
"Blue Dragon...parent?"
Xiaolong heard this again and didn't quite understand what this strange uncle was talking about. He was picked up by his father, the little curly hair on his head twitched, and his round dragon horns rubbed into his father's arms. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhu Xuan curiously.
It's so cute that you can easily fall in love with it at first sight.
Not to mention the golden 'snow' they saw at the end after the Blue Dragon starship arrived and connected, and the strange feeling of the light touching their skin.
If that's the case—
"We received a distress signal from the abandoned planet earlier. It should have asked us to rescue this cub and also told him the term Blue Dragon Parent."
"so?"
Li Ming held the baby, stood up, and confronted Zhu Xuan with narrowed eyes.
The two equally tall men seemed to be arguing with each other.
Li Hua also understood what the other party meant. He raised his head from the small pillow that was still being repaired and looked over casually.
"So I think this cub should be raised by us blue dragons."
Zhu Xuan's words were a bit arrogant.
Being the clan leader at such a young age, he was naturally a bit frivolous.
"We can provide a better environment. I think this is also the intention of the person who sent us the distress signal, isn't it?"
Li Ming looked at Zhu Xuan and found that Zhu Xuan's eyes were always on the cub in his arms.
The little dragon cub didn't understand so many complicated words. He was hugging his neck softly and yawning softly.
He tilted his head and said obediently, "Dad?"
Li Ming looked up at Zhu Xuan again, and recalled the Blue Dragon Clan's distress signal. If he had not been nearby at that time - he imagined the scene of Zhu Xuan holding his baby.
In just one week, I heard two people talking about snatching my own baby away.
Not long after taking office, the mentality of the old father who felt that his children were becoming more and more important - exploded.
