Chapter 17
Two hours ago.
The majestic dragon has a slightly rough little cloth bag hanging around its neck, with the little cub inside, riding the waves in the universe.
It may not be believed, but this cloth bag was not made by Lida, nor by any careful dragon on the ship, but by Rock, who was as strong as a bear and looked like he could never touch such delicate work, and it was sewn overnight specifically for the baby.
In fact, Finks could have carried the cub off the starship directly like Lin Wang did, but the delicate little cub was dizzy due to the strong wind, and the parents didn't want to let it suffer, so they came up with this trick.
Li Jue likes this small bag that holds him very much. He feels very safe when curled up in it.
He also specially put in a few dolls given to him by the crew members to accompany him on his new journey - or as Finks said, to go to work.
The naive little system encountered a bug in the company right after taking up the job, and did not yet understand the hardships of work.
The golden dragon roared over the mountains and landed on the lakeside.
Finks transformed into a human form and stuffed the night-shining pearl into the cub's little hand: "Put this in your mouth, but don't swallow it."
Li Jue held up the jewel that was so beautiful that it was hard to look away. Every tiny change in angle could reflect the shimmering and beautiful light.
Even if you are not a dragon that loves money like life, you can see that it is priceless.
But the cub was distressed.
The night pearl was too big and felt heavy in the palm of the hand. It was more difficult for the tiny cub to swallow it than an egg.
He can't even open his mouth that wide, how is he supposed to bite?
Finks remembered that the crew members had launched some strange light bulb eating challenge before, but they all failed. They had to line up with their heads tilted back to go into the activity room and transform back into their original forms, and then bite the light bulb into pieces in the form of dragons.
Adults cannot eat light bulbs, so it seems a bit difficult to scale them down and let the kids swallow the night pearls directly.
The cub was puzzled: "Mimi, why do you want to eat this?"
Finks still couldn't get used to being called "Mimi", but since he had promised the baby, he couldn't go back on his word: "This way you can breathe freely in the water."
Li Jue nodded confusedly.
His father once took him to a children’s swimming class, and he was the fastest learner in the class!
However, such a big lake in front of us seems to be beyond the control of children.
Finks picked up the Night Pearl from his hand again and muttered to himself, "Did Qian Xing tell me the instructions for its use?..."
He vaguely remembered that the night pearl seemed to be able to adjust its size according to the user's body shape.
But he forgot how to do it. He was busy teasing the Sea Monster King.
There's no way around it. No one doesn't want to see that beautiful and cold face stained with bright anger - especially if it's done by one's own hands.
He tried to recreate the scene of that day in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more he went astray.
When I looked up again, the kid had already reached the lake.
Finks' heart tightened. That was the reaction any parent would have when seeing their child in danger, and he immediately stepped forward.
But he is a dragon, not a human. Dragons will not keep their cubs away from any possible danger, but let them take risks boldly; after all, their parents are there, and no one can hurt them.
He held Li Jue's little hand, watched the baby lying on the ground, and stretched out his other hand to splash water in the lake.
This is no simple game.
Finks witnessed with his own eyes that the originally calm surface of the lake was rippled with a light golden light because of Li Jue's touch, instantly covering the entire lake.
They soon returned to calm, with only tiny flashes of light, as if it was just because the weather was fine.
Then the cub tightened its grip on his fingers, a sign of trust, and leaned lower, lowering its head until its face was completely submerged in the water.
Finks didn't even realize he was holding his breath nervously.
"You can!"
A cheerful little baby voice suddenly sounded in the dragon's spiritual realm, accompanied by a gurgling bubble sound effect.
Finks didn't dare to let go or make any other movements, and responded with telepathic communication: "What can I do?"
"In the water, breathing." Li Jue said, "Wow - so many fish!"
It seems that he can not only breathe, but also open his eyes.
This surprised Finks a little. He had the impression that some humans who were good at water could hide and breathe when he attacked, but not only could they not hold their breath for too long, they also needed training and it was very painful.
The baby clearly does not fit any of the above conditions.
Not long ago, he entered the detention room without a password or authorization.
Soon after, I got used to the water without any equipment or practice.
Wonderful, incredible little cubs.
It seems that Qian Xing’s night pearl is useless, Finks thought. He is not even as good as a little kid. Next time he sees that guy, he must laugh at him.
Li Jue raised his head and shook his whole body like every wet kitten. Crystal clear water droplets splashed out of his cat ears and long hair, all of which fell on his parents.
The baby responded by chuckling for a bit, then shook Finks's hand: "Mimi, let's go, it's nice down there—lots of fish!"
Finks smoothed his wet curly hair. The dampness made the golden color darker, making it look more like himself. "You can breathe, but can you swim?"
Li Jue can splash around in the swimming pool, but such a big lake is really not something a three-year-old cub can handle.
But it doesn't matter.
The cub confidently said: "Brother, hold me!"
Finks glared at the spoiled little fellow and said, "You know how to call me brother now?"
Li Jue had two dimples on her face, and she hugged the adult's waist softly and coquettishly: "Brother is the best~"
Under the attack of the baby's sweet smile, Finks was naturally, without any room for maneuver, and was completely defeated.

Now.
"The little one has never been here, but he kept talking to me all the way, 'lake, lake.' I thought the lake must be here, so I brought him to see it. I didn't expect you to be here." Finks ruffled Ayaka's hair, "Do you two have some kind of telepathy?"
Ling Xi calmly brushed her hair, looked down at the little cub who was holding her waist and refused to let go, and her heart felt sour and soft.
When he was away, the kitten had turned back into human form, still the same appearance as when he first saw it at Shen's house, except that it had a pair of cute furry cat ears and a cat tail, swaying with its mood.
Well, no matter what kind of Li Jue, they are all cute and he likes them all.
Zizi raised his head and said, "Xixi, where have you been?"
Faced with Li Jue's innocent concern and doubts, Ling Xi was unable to answer.
He often has moments where he's...absent.
At these moments, not only was he unable to control and make decisions on his own, he couldn't even inform Li Jue in advance.
Not only will it disappear suddenly, but when it returns it may not necessarily be in the same place.
For example, this time, he was teleported to the human planet and had to find a way to get back to the Dragon Nest starship.
If there were no dragons guarding the lake's dragon nest, they would have to wait for the next dragon to attack the planet. Communication and positioning would then become much more difficult.
There was nothing Ling Xi could do about these things.
Those were his duties as a..., and they were part of what he had to bear.
When he disappeared, Zizi must have been worried.
"Xixi, Xixi." Li Jue called him and opened his little arms, "Hug me!"
Of course Ling Xi would be happy to meet such a request and reached out to pick up the little cub.
Li Jue is not an ordinary child. As a system, he can change his form at will, turning into a kitten, a human, or any other species.
The shape is not fixed and the weight is adjustable, so even Ayaka, who is only slightly bigger than him, can be easily picked up.
The little cub is very good at acting cute. He hugs his little brother's neck, touches his forehead with his, rubs his cheeks with his, and won't stop until he hears Ling Xi say "jue jue", "jue jue", "jue jue" three times, and then responds with "xixi", "xixi", "xixi" three times.
Finks lowered his head because his neck was too sore, so he changed into human form.
Looking at the two little ones being intimate from a more intimate perspective, Long felt a little sad.
It seems that the cub likes more than one brother.
Finks remembered that the little guy also called Lin Wang, Will and Yanshi brothers.
Now there is Ayaka.
He calls this to any male who is bigger than him.
...Then there must be so many good brothers.
Fortunately, Finks comforted himself that he was the only one who had received the cub's kiss so far.
Does this mean that I am a little more special than others in the little guy's heart?
Then he watched helplessly as the cub kissed Ling Xi's face.
Finks: “…”
Okay.
He’s just one of those good older brothers.
Finks turned around dejectedly, took out his anger on Bling, and started to find fault with him.
The poor red dragon, being the largest and most powerful species in the cave, hung its proud head and was trained like a dog.
Lying on the ground, no, on the mountain, not even daring to transform into a human form.
There is no way around it, Finks is a superior, owner, chief, and patriarch all in one.
Any one of the layers taken out alone can suppress him so much that he dares not resist.
Oh, actually, you can’t win even if you resist.
Otherwise, do you think that those titles are innate?
The title of "Golden Tyrant" is well-deserved.
Bu Ling held his head with his paws to show his submission.
Then he secretly opened one eye and used his unique skill of rolling one eyeball to look at the two little ones who were curiously looking at him being scolded, making the children giggle.
Then he was caught on the spot by his superiors.
Finks also noticed the cubs' onlookers and said calmly to the red dragon, who looked ready to die, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Bling had a sad face.
The reason why the eldest brother looks gentle and restrained now is probably because he is doing it for the sake of the baby and does not want to destroy his image as a good brother and good parent in the baby's heart.
Wait until we return home...
It's over, it's over, I'm in big trouble TAT
Before I leave, there is one important thing.
Finks took two steps forward, and the gold, silver and treasures under his feet made a crisp creaking sound.
He said calmly to the bottom of the treasure mountain: "Don't hide, come out."
