The cub did indeed eavesdrop.
But it doesn't matter, even if the father is full of bad intentions, the baby won't understand.
But the child could understand that his father said he was his only child and that his father loved him very, very much.
The cub and its father are clearly different; the father is just a human, yet the cub still steadfastly chooses to be its child…
For the first time, the child experienced being firmly chosen and blatantly favored.
He should be even more confident.
The cub carefully placed its fragile human father into the bedroom, rubbed against him, and then turned and crawled directly into the innermost part of the bedroom.
Emperor Chongle had long since become immune to his son's inexplicable behavior.
He just wanted to go in and ask what the cub was doing, but he saw the cub huddled in the blankets, wriggling from a long strip into a short strip, like dough being kneaded and flattened on a cutting board.
The little guy's voice came through intermittently from inside:
"Dad, wait for me, wait for your son to become human..."
A cloud of mist enveloped the area, protecting Emperor Chongle's eyes.
A gentle breeze pushed Emperor Chongle outside, forcing him to stand outside the screen and watch his beloved son working hard inside.
Although the process of a dragon transforming into a human is unknown, in the traditional tales of spirits and monsters, it always requires a great price to pay for the transformation.
The cub was perfectly fine being a dragon, so why does it suddenly want to turn into a human?
Emperor Chongle waited outside, his face showing no sign of anxiety, but the knuckles tapping on the armrest betrayed his unease.
The child was fine before going to school this morning. Perhaps what he heard earlier had an impact, but the reason is probably that the cub is not used to human classes, feels the difference between humans and dragons, and thinks that it would be better to become a human and be more liked.
Emperor Chongle easily figured out the little guy's thoughts.
But he was still displeased.
He had long realized that his cub was unlike him; it was not only soft-hearted but also had a clever and perceptive mind, and was intelligent and sensitive.
So he didn't think this through properly.
And Ning Guanyan, he probably did something unintentional as well.
Even though he loves the dragon cub so much, he can't help but subconsciously want to change the dragon cub's nature. So what about these bystanders?
Did he speak recklessly in places he wasn't aware of?
Emperor Chongle's gaze gradually darkened. Following his orders, a large group of officials and palace servants knelt outside the door.
They all came trembling with fear to plead guilty. Regardless of whether they had said anything they shouldn't have to His Highness the Little Dragon, the Emperor was angry today, and they had to admit their mistakes in order to save their lives.
However, Emperor Chongle had no intention of reprimanding those people. He was just like any parent waiting for their child to have surgery, anxious and worried, but afraid of disturbing the cub. He could only count the time and wait. As the second passed, his mood became increasingly tense.
The mist inside gradually dissipated. Emperor Chongle wanted to go in directly, but he was afraid that something might still happen to the cub, so he could only lower his voice and ask gently:
"Baby, are you feeling better?"
The sound of a cub sobbing could be heard coming from inside.
"Father...Father, sob sob sob..."
Emperor Chongle rushed in immediately and saw a familiar dragon tail disappear into the darkness. No matter how Emperor Chongle coaxed it, the little guy was unwilling to show itself from the shadows.
"Daddy, Daddy! I'm not doing well, sob sob... I'm so strange..."
Emperor Chongle had never heard a child cry so pitifully before. He was almost frantic with worry, but he still had to patiently coax him: "No matter what you are like, you are still my child. In my eyes, you will never be strange. If anyone dares to say a word against you, I will make them shut their mouth forever."
"Don't worry, no one will talk about you after you get out, and no one will look at you strangely."
"Besides, dragons are celestial beasts, radiant and dazzling. Every scale on your body is so beautiful, so how could it be strange?"
If Emperor Chongle were younger, he probably wouldn't believe that he could actually coax people with such a soft voice.
However, Emperor Chongle is now completely focused on the cubs.
He coaxed it for a long time, and after a while, the cub slowly crawled out of the shadows.
His upper body had transformed into a delicately sculpted little doll, his face flushed from crying, his nose and the corners of his eyes also red, his misty light blue eyes filled with tears, a sight that could melt anyone's heart.
Not to mention the cub's white hair, with its long, moon-like silver-white hair cascading down, truly making it look like a little fairy.
However, when it came to the lower half, the cub, lacking the strength to continue transforming, got stuck halfway down, turning itself into a human with a dragon's tail.
Some of them resemble the legendary mermaids, with an excessively beautiful human upper body and a mermaid tail lower body.
But they are more sacred and more dazzling than mermaids.
Emperor Chongle stared intently at the little creature's gradient white scales. Previously, the cub existed in the form of a dragon, and after spending time with it, he increasingly regarded the cub as an ordinary child. But now, seeing the cub in this state, he couldn't help but feel dazed, shocked by the inhumanity of the cub's dragon nature...
But this scene also evoked a feeling that's hard to describe...
It's so beautiful it's almost eerie.
It's not the kind of sacred and transcendent beauty of immortals, but rather the kind of bizarre and eerie beauty found in tales of spirits and monsters.
Perhaps humanity's worship and obsession with great power is also at play.
However, Emperor Chongle soon awoke from his dazed state due to the cub's illusion.
The cub was still looking at him nervously, wanting to get closer but not daring to, looking at him cautiously and timidly as if it had done something wrong.
Emperor Chongle came to the little guy, wiped away his tears, picked him up, and kissed the tip of his short, chubby tail.
Emperor Chongle said, "You will always be the most adorable child in my eyes."
Upon hearing these words, the cub could no longer hold back its tears, which streamed down its face like a torrential downpour.
It seems she really felt wronged.
Emperor Chongle tried to coax and comfort him again and again. Seeing how hard the boy was crying, he was afraid that he would cry himself to death. He said all sorts of nice things and his attitude was so affectionate that it could be squeezed to the point of being dripping with water.
Who told his kid to be so precious?
He asked the cub, "Is it because you can't change? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
The boy nodded, "A little."
And the feeling of being completely drained makes me so hungry...
The child's mouth watered as he looked at the carved patterns on the pillar.
Seeing this, Emperor Chongle summoned Changxiu and the others. The cubs were not yet fully aware of his mental pollution abilities, so he slowly added a layer of mist to them when they were almost unconscious.
Changxiu wiped away the blood and tears streaming down his face. Apart from being a little pale, he seemed completely unsurprised. After all, he was now a staunch supporter of the prince, and in his eyes, the gentle Prince Xiaolong was an incredibly divine being.
Therefore, he remained calm and serious, saying:
"In my humble opinion, Your Highness may still need to consume some demonic creatures, but we may need to ask Master Zhang about the specifics of what Your Highness can eat."
"Your Majesty, I will go and bind the Celestial Master immediately—no, please bring him here."
