Chapter 45 Chapter 45

The adult form of Jumir is completely different from the weak cub stage.

When Jumiel was a cub, he had white fur, brown eyes, and his horns were not yet visible. He was as weak as a puppy. This was the weakest period in Jumiel's life.

But once he passes the childhood stage and enters the growth stage, Judea will grow and become stronger rapidly.

When Jupiter reaches adulthood and shows its full form, it can reach a height of more than 16 meters and a length of more than 25 meters, making it a true interstellar behemoth. Its pure white fur in childhood will gradually turn black from the tips of its fur, with black spots growing on it. The double horns on its forehead will continue to grow as it ages, reaching a maximum length of three meters, and their hardness and sharpness are in no way inferior to dragon horns.

This was also one of the reasons why the Jews were able to become a royal family.

Adult Jumillas have almost no weaknesses in lifespan and strength. Their only weakness is during childhood, and only during childhood. Once they are allowed to grow up, a Jumilla in its prime is powerful enough to rival a fully armed army.

Every Jewish who passed away was once a thick history of war glory.

Even the dragons, who are known for their powerful strength, have no chance of winning against Julius.

So even a giant black dragon with bat wings spread out and a length of twenty meters is still just a clumsy cub in front of Rong Heng.

The huge Judeo crouched on the high ground, turned his head and urged the stunned little dragon cub, impatiently saying, "Come up."

The little dragon was covered in strange green mud, dirty and smelly.

Letting such a dirty little cub crawl onto your back is really a challenge to your endurance.

Julius' dark golden pupils were filled with dissatisfaction.

The little dragon cub came to its senses and tentatively grabbed his fur, then used all four claws to climb onto his back.

The back of an adult Judea is so broad and thick, giving the growing cub a sense of security.

The little dragon sniffed secretly at Judea's neck and smelled the same scent as Snowball.

He immediately felt more at ease.

Dad said that Snowball’s elder brother is a good man.

Snowball is his elder brother, and his elder brother’s elder brother is naturally his elder brother too!

The little dragon's claws firmly grasped the thick fur on Judea's neck, and with its bat wings folded up behind it, the whole dragon pressed tightly against the back that made him feel safe, and even rubbed against it secretly.

Rong Heng turned his head to look at him, said coldly "Hold on tight", and ran across the swamp like a gust of wind.

Judeans don't have wings, but they have speed that rivals the wind.

The huge Yomir moved lightly, like the wind, across the soft swamp without leaving a single footprint.

The little dragon lying on his back closed his eyes at first, but then he couldn't help but open them. Looking at the scenery rapidly receding on both sides, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Will Snowball become so powerful in the future?"

No wonder Nota always said Snowball was awesome.

Snowball’s elder brother is so awesome, Snowball will definitely be awesome in the future too.

The kid's unconscious flattery made Julius, who was running at full speed, twitch his ears. He glanced at the kid whose face showed "ignorance" and said "hmm" coldly.

If you're not strong enough, how can you get this little stupid dragon out?

If he were really tied to a rope and dragged out by a shuttle, he would probably become a laughing stock on the entire B3024 planet.

A dragon that can't fly and needs to be lifted by a shuttle.

How ridiculous.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot afford to lose this person.

The little dragon was unaware of his dislike, and his golden eyes were wide open, full of curiosity.

At this moment, he had forgotten the despair of rolling in the mire.

Rong Heng carried him on his back, crossed the Lost Swamp, and returned to Fita Manor in the night.

Mori had arrived earlier and dismissed all the people in the manor in advance, leaving only two reliable people to look after Ruan Shiqing in the room.

Therefore, no one saw the majestic Julius, carrying a dirty black dragon on his back, landing in the back garden of the Fita Manor.

The little dragon cub hadn't yet recovered from this novel feeling and lay stupidly on his back.

"Get off." Rong Heng swung his tail and glanced at the little dragon on his back with disdain.

The whole dragon looks like it's not very smart.

The little dragon cub came to his senses and jumped off his back clumsily. He was not yet proficient in controlling his body, and stumbled on the ground for a few times before he managed to stabilize himself with the help of his bat wings.

It looks extremely clumsy.

Rong Heng used his horn to push him to steady himself, and then said to Mori who had rushed over after hearing the noise, "Clean him up, I'm going to take a shower."

After carrying the dirty little dragon cub all the way, Yomir's smooth and moist fur had been stuck to the mud in some places, and even formed mud lumps in other places.

Rong Heng felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't wait to take a shower.

After giving some instructions, he quickly shrank his body and hurried back to his room.

Mo Li looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind to Master Ruan's family.

If it was someone else, let alone carrying it all the way back, being able to tie it up with a rope and drag it back would be a sign of strong comradeship.

He looked at the little dragon squatting in the corner... oh no, the giant dragon, and asked in a gentle voice: "Can you change back to human form?"

The little dragon shook his head.

"Can it be made smaller?"

The little dragon cub still shook his head.

Mori was speechless. How come this big dragon couldn't do anything?

But then he thought again, this giant dragon was in the cub school just a few days ago, it was a cub that knew nothing, and he couldn't be too strict with it. So he tried to comfort it with kind words and called a few of his men to give the dragon cub a bath.

"……" The men were terrified at the sight of the black dragon covered in mud, and were almost about to hold onto Mori's legs and beg for mercy.

Mori looked at the nearly ten-meter-tall dragon. It was indeed quite intimidating at first glance. Who among ordinary people would dare to give this ancestor a bath?

If one is unhappy, he can be slapped to death with just one paw.

It's indeed a bit too much to ask.

Mori thought about it, asked someone to get the automatic watering robot in the garden, and discussed with the little dragon: "Can you wash it yourself?"

The little dragon looked at the robots gathered in a circle and nodded hesitantly.

So Mori let the robots go.

The robots formed a circle around him, spraying jets of water to wash away the mud on the little dragon cub's body. However, the mud on the surface was washed away, but the stones and moss stuck in the gaps between the scales could not be cleaned.

The little dragon clumsily grasped the scales with its claws.

At this time, the little mermaid and the little fox rushed out after hearing the news, and the little robot 09 who was chasing after them also followed.

Ruan Shiqing came back first. They went to see their father first, and then they found out that the little dragon had also returned home.

Upon hearing the news, the cubs rushed out excitedly and threw themselves onto the huge black dragon without any scruples.

The little fox in human form couldn't even hold his feet; the little mermaid sat in the stroller, but was only slightly taller than the little fox.

The little robot, which was only a little over one meter tall, patted the dragon cub's tail and said with emotion: "I'm glad you're back. We were all worried about you."

The little dragon bent down and carefully touched them one by one with the tip of his claws.

Nota took advantage of the situation and grasped the tip of his claws, looking up and saying with longing: "I want to be as majestic as you in the future."

The little mermaid echoed with an "ah", patted the little dragon's dirty tail, and gestured: Let's give Herri a bath.

So the little fox asked Morrie for a towel and a brush. The two cubs and a small robot took the towels and brushes and grunted as they cleaned the dragon cub's scales.

The little mermaid couldn't climb, so he was responsible for cleaning the legs. He carefully used a brush to clean the moss and other foreign objects in the gaps between the scales, and he also learned to control the water flow to wash the gaps between the scales without any instruction. The little fox nimbly climbed to the top of the little dragon's head along the little dragon's tail and cleaned his horns and head. The little robot was responsible for cleaning the two front paws and bat wings...

It was late at night, but the Fita Manor was brightly lit.

The huge black dragon squatted in the middle, with two cubs and a robot busy around him. The Xiong brothers, who didn't have to take care of Ruan Shiqing, also joined in and helped clean the cub's tail.

Heilong remained motionless, lowering his head when asked and raising his arms when asked, and occasionally handing him a towel or a brush.

Such a mighty and ferocious dragon, but at this moment, it showed a hint of innocence and cuteness.

Rong Heng stood by the window and looked for a while, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The dragon cub has been washed clean, but it is not so ugly anymore.

“Mr. Ruan has taught these cubs very well. Among the four noble families of the Galaxy Empire, only the first generation can be so harmonious and friendly.” Noah said with emotion.

She is the AI ​​of Queen Farah, and has witnessed too many conflicts of interest with the queen. She has seen the four ancient clans that once jointly created the Galaxy Empire fight for interests and fall apart.

The four ancient clans are no longer brothers who can fight together, but potential enemies that need to be guarded against from behind.

Thinking of those disgusting races, Rong Heng's face turned cold and he said sarcastically: "In such an environment, how can normal people be taught?"

Of the three ancient tribes besides Judea, only the Dragon Tribe seems relatively normal.

Although they are stupid, they are not so cunning. Unlike the mermaids and the nine-tailed foxes, they are more cunning than the others and they wish they could carve the words "struggle for power and profit" directly on their foreheads.

"Is he awake?" Rong Heng changed the subject.

"He's still asleep." Noah said, "Morrie has been examined by a doctor. The doctor said that he overdosed on psychotropic drugs, and was extremely tired and nervous, which led to his drowsiness. Once he gets enough sleep and recovers, he will wake up. It's nothing serious."

“That’s good.” Rong Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze obscured by his drooping eyelashes, making it hard to see clearly: “I won’t show up. When he wakes up, if he asks, let Mo Li tell him that I left because of something.”

When he had heard that Ruan Shiqing had entered the Lost Swamp alone and his situation was unknown, he wanted to return to Planet B3024 immediately; but now that he had found the person and confirmed that he was fine, he inexplicably didn't dare to face it.

He had never lost his temper like this before.

In the past 26 years, he has fought against Zerg on the front lines and narrowly escaped death countless times, but he has never lost his composure for a single moment.

This kind of abnormality has never happened before.

It made him confused and uneasy, and made him subconsciously want to escape.

When Ruan Shiqing woke up, it was three days later.

The lost sleep was made up, the dark circles under his eyes faded, and he looked radiant again.

Upon hearing the news that he had woken up, the cubs and the robots rushed into the room.

The little fox lay on the bed and asked, "Is Daddy hungry?"

The little mermaid held his hand tightly. Although she could not speak, her eyes were full of worry. Snowball was placed on the quilt and rubbed his arm with his head down.

Even the little robot asked anxiously: "Sir, are you feeling unwell somewhere else? Do you need some water?"

Mori and the Xiong brothers, who came in later, could only stand outside and stretch their necks to look inside.

After scanning them one by one, Ruan Shiqing sat up and said energetically, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He looked around and asked, "Where's Heli?"

"Herri is outside!" The little fox pointed out the window and gestured with his hands, "He's too big to come in!"

Ruan Shiqing looked in the direction of her finger and saw a golden eye by the window.

The little dragon was too big to fit into the house, so it could only stick one eye against the window and look inside.

After careful cleaning by the cubs and others, he has now become a majestic dragon with shiny scales, and he is eager to let his father see him!

Ruan Shiqing got up and walked outside, and saw a majestic dragon cub.

The little dragon tried to bend down and rubbed Ruan Shiqing's arm lightly with his dragon kiss.

"Be good." Ruan Shiqing touched his nose soothingly, then turned back to Mo Li and said, "Thanks for your help this time. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just ask for it."

Before, he only regarded Marin as a temporary partner, but he was somewhat wary of him in his heart.

But after this incident, Marin was his friend.

Mori was excited: "These are all trivial matters, all trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

The two of them exchanged polite words, and Mo Li invited Ruan Shiqing to have lunch.

Thinking of the mess at home, Ruan Shiqing did not refuse and took the kids with him to the restaurant with Mo Li.

At this moment, a series of question marks slowly emerged in the mind of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was held in the arms of the little robot.

????

Why didn't you even mention me?

It was not until they sat down in the restaurant and took the snowball from the robot that Ruan Shiqing asked casually, "Why don't I see Mr. Rong?"

Mo Li remembered His Highness' instructions and said with a smile, "Mr. Rong has something else to do, so I will leave first."

Yes, Mr. Rong is from the military, so it is normal for him to be busy.

Ruan Shiqing nodded slightly, asked no more questions, and turned to talk about the reconstruction of the house.

Rong Heng became more and more: ???

It was clearly him who found the person and carried the little dragon back on his back, so why doesn't he have a name?

This shouldn't happen.

He glanced at Ruan Shiqing with resentment, then turned his gaze to Mo Lishi and glared at him coldly again.

Morrie: ????

So what, ancestor?

After lunch, Ruan Shiqing suggested going home.

The house was still a mess and needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible. During lunch, Ruan Shiqing had already discussed with Mo Li that he would pay and Mo Li would provide the manpower to rebuild the house as soon as possible.

Now the family has to go back and pack their things.

Ruan Shiqing was walking in front, pushing the mermaid cart, with the little dragon cub on the left and the Xiong brothers on the right.

The little fox, Snowball, and even the little robot 09 were all sitting on the little dragon cub.

Nota lay on the little dragon's head, looking like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might; Rong Heng and the little robot sat on his shoulders.

The huge black dragon attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. The news of the incident in the Ruan family had spread throughout the outer city in the past few days. However, no one expected that only a few days had passed and the black dragon that had demolished the repair shop had been tamed.

Everyone looked at Ruan Shiqing with more and more awe.

Raising a baby dragon is not a big deal. Being able to tame an adult dragon is a real skill.

As expected, Master Ruan.

Back at the repair shop, the little dragon looked at the house that he had torn into pieces, his face filled with shame.

The roof of the second floor was completely blown off, leaving only a pile of ruins. Although the first floor had barely managed to not collapse, it was also affected by the second floor and was also covered with fallen rocks and dust.

The fallen star vines that the kids had trimmed together in the yard fell into the pool with their hands tied. The small pool where they often played was filled with fallen leaves and gravel. The wooden lounge chair was overturned on one side, and the whole house was in a mess.

The little dragon cautiously stretched out its claws, trying to pick up the overturned recliner and straighten it.

As a result, as soon as he picked up the recliner with his claws, the wooden recliner fell to pieces.

“…”

The movement of the wood falling to the ground attracted the attention of others. The little dragon cub was suddenly even more at a loss. He kept picking up things with his head lowered and his claws retracted. Even the tip of his tail was frozen.

Seeing how cautious he was, Ruan Shiqing held back his laughter as he patted the dust off his paws and said, "If they break, just buy new ones. It's okay."

Then he said to the other kids, "Tell 09 if you still want any toys, and I'll clear them out for you guys later."

This house could collapse at any time, so Ruan Shiqing naturally couldn't let the kids in.

The kids gathered around 09 and started to report what daily necessities and toys they wanted. 09 wrote them down carefully one by one and looked at Rong Heng who didn't say anything: "Is there anything Snowball wants?" After saying that, he considerately brought up the virtual screen to make it easier for him to type.

Rong Heng squatted and looked down at him.

After a moment, he condescended to get down from the little dragon's shoulder and typed: [Pillow.]

Unlike other cubs, he was the first cub brought home by Ruan Shiqing, and he had the advantage in size, so he always slept in Ruan Shiqing's bedroom, and many of his daily necessities overlapped with Ruan Shiqing's.

After much thought, the only thing he missed was a soft pillow.

The Crown Prince, who was used to staying in the Ruan family, found that he was actually somewhat attached to his bed. As long as he lay on the soft pillow, he could always fall asleep quickly and have a dreamless night.

09 Write it down carefully.

Seeing that he hadn't asked about himself yet, the little dragon finally couldn't hold back and spoke: "My Blue Star Necklace is missing, and the gem box too..."

"I wonder if I left it at home." He pursed his lips and looked a little lost. After waking up in the swamp, he found that his Blue Star Necklace was missing.

09 Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The necklace and the gem box have been put away by the master. Some of them are damaged and need to be repaired."

The little dragon cub immediately perked up when he heard this, wagging the tip of his tail: "Really?"

"Really." Ruan Shiqing came out of the workshop and replied with a smile: "I'll give it to you after it's fixed."

So the little dragon squinted his eyes happily.

It was easy to pack up the kids' things, but the real trouble was Ruan Shiqing's workshop.

The workshop has added many new instruments and materials, which require a lot of effort to organize and transfer. Fortunately, with the help of the Xiong brothers and 09, the organization is relatively orderly.

After all the items were sorted out and put away, the people sent by Mori directly pushed down the shaky building.

The little robot 09 looked at the collapsed house and suddenly screamed. He hurriedly ran to the corner of the Falling Star Vine with a shovel and dug out his old body together with the Falling Star Vine - that was the old body that the owner had discarded when he replaced his body for the first time.

With the owner's permission, he solemnly buried it under a falling star vine.

He placed the old body covered in mud, along with the Fallen Star vines, into a flowerpot and held it tightly in his arms.

As if to comfort the cubs. As if to comfort himself, he murmured: "When the new house is built, we will plant the star-falling vine in the yard. It has strong vitality. By next year, it will be all over the yard again."

It would take some time for the new house to be completed, so during this period, Ruan Shiqing and his group temporarily stayed in Fita Manor.

Because many instruments were not convenient to install and use in Fita Manor, Ruan Shiqing was unable to carry out his work normally. He simply put his work aside temporarily and thought about how to accommodate the little dragon cub.

According to the information he found on the holographic network, adult dragons can freely control their own body size and can switch between animal and human forms. But the little dragon cub is more special. Although its body size looks like that of an adult dragon, it is actually just a little cub who knows nothing.

He was completely matured by those gems of unknown origin.

Ruan Shiqing also tried to contact the stall owner to inquire about the origin of the gemstone and question his motives, but the communication with the other party could not be connected at all. Even though he was full of doubts, he could only suppress them temporarily.

After much thought, I could only try to ask Mr. Rong for help.

Mr. Rong is from the military, maybe he knows the dragon clan and can help answer questions.

He sent a text message to Mr. Rong to explain the situation.

The other party was a very busy person. Ruan Shiqing originally thought that he might need to wait until he was free to get a reply. However, after only about ten minutes, the other party gave a reply: [I happen to know a dragon. He is on a planet not far from B3024. I can ask him to come over and take a look at the situation.]

The unexpected surprise came too suddenly. Ruan Shiqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied to the message and thanked him repeatedly.

Mr. Rong is such a kind-hearted person.

Rong Heng, who was hiding in a room somewhere, was satisfied after seeing the other party's reply text message.

It is true that one cannot do good things without leaving a name behind.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought so.
