Chapter 315

So, on this windy winter day, the cub named "Canglong" stayed here for unknown reasons and naturally. The three cubs who had been cuddling in the den all winter were not surprised when they saw their new companion late.

After all, for such a long time, the master would always prepare an extra meal every now and then, and would also set aside some different snacks. There were the scents of other cubs in the yard, and occasionally one could see their figures that were not hiding well... All this indicated that they would have a new partner sooner or later.

The little phoenix and the little Bai Ze were jealous for several rounds, and in the end they convinced themselves. But the cub still hid itself for fear of being discovered. Later, even the little Qilin was speechless.

The three cubs even made a bet behind their husband's back, betting on when the young cub would muster up the courage to walk up to them openly. They waited until winter.

When the three cubs, who had just woken up and were still a little confused, saw the anxious Canglong, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time—it was finally willing to see people! It was not easy!

Bai Ze ran to the cleared utility room and found a clean chair. The chair had been prepared a long time ago, but it had only just found its owner.

It was so cold in winter that the ivy trellises were covered with thick snow. They moved their meals from the middle of the yard to the house where the formation was arranged.

The warm temperature, the sweet smell of food, the chattering of people - when these unattainable things suddenly came towards him, Canglong actually wanted to rush out.

Its claws were curled up on its abdomen, and it didn't know what to do. Looking at the empty chair, it actually felt dazed - was it possible... that it was prepared for it?

While it was daydreaming, a pair of warm hands behind it picked it up. Because it suddenly flew into the air, Canglong subconsciously wanted to attack, but retracted its sharp claws before making a mistake.

The person who picked it up was Mr. Tamagawa.

"This is your place from now on." Yuchuan put Canglong on a specially made chair. This chair fits its current body shape perfectly. There is a place for the extra claws, and it will also hold it in place so that it won't fall over. "If you think there's something inappropriate, be sure to speak up."

"It's really, really good." Canglong didn't dare to look anyone in the eye at the table. His voice was as thin as a mosquito. "I, I like it very much."

"It's over." Bai Ze flicked Qilin's hoof under the table with his tail and said in a low voice, "It stutters just like you."

Qilin: “…”

Qilin gave Bai Ze a speechless look and quietly dragged away the food it loved in front of Bai Ze.

Just like he stayed here inexplicably and naturally, Canglong also became friends with the other cubs inexplicably and naturally. Like Phoenix and the others, he had an independent courtyard. The master had planned the foundation for him a long time ago, but he preferred to live next to the master's courtyard than in his own independent courtyard. That small house made him feel more at ease than any other courtyard.

—But it didn’t say it.

It doesn't want to cause trouble to the gentleman, so it is incredible that the gentleman is willing to adopt it.

Being too greedy...will bring retribution.

It was very happy to have its own yard, but it began to have trouble sleeping all night, always feeling that this was a false illusion.

A few days later, my husband took it to the next door of his yard in the middle of the night and said, "It doesn't matter if you prefer to live next to me. Look - it's still the same as before."

Mr. built an independent courtyard for it, not to drive it away, but to treat it equally. It can choose to live in its own courtyard or move back to Mr.'s next door. Just like Qilin, when it has a nightmare in the middle of the night, it will knock on Mr.'s window and door and cry loudly.

A loved cub has the right to be willful.

It also seems to be loved.

Canglong is like a tiny snail, carefully extending its tentacles to confirm that it actually possesses this love.

…

Winter passed and spring came, spring left and winter came. Canglong gradually became familiar with the other three cubs. The tightly closed clam shell opened a small gap, tentatively contacting the outside world, and over time, it poked its head out more and more.

As they grew older, Yuchuan became more and more strict with his four cubs. He planned their learning directions based on their personality traits.

"I haven't transformed yet!!!" In the spring when the grass is green and the flowers are blooming, in the largest courtyard here, a wailing voice is loud and clear, "I don't want to learn it anymore, wuwuwu——"

The little phoenix flapped its red-gold wings and pushed away the quicksand disk in front of it. The chaotic array of patterns on the quicksand disk flickered and extinguished one by one like stars.

Drawing array patterns depends entirely on the manipulation of spiritual power. The little phoenix is ​​still in its infancy and does not have a human form, so the micro-manipulation of spiritual power requires more and more precision. A slight mistake will result in the destruction of the array pattern. After the 67th failure of drawing an array on the quicksand plate, the little phoenix's mentality collapsed.

It pushed the quicksand plate away half coquettishly and half naughtily, and every feather exuded the aura of "I don't want to do it anymore", and the whole phoenix curled up into a big red and gold ball.

"Why are you so lacking in perseverance?" Yuchuan stepped forward and tapped its little head in a funny way, "If you can't learn this formation, I won't take you with me when we go out to play tomorrow."

The big red and gold ball poked out a pair of pitiful eyes and tried to soften his heart by acting cute, but Yuchuan had a heart of stone and remained unmoved.

The little phoenix could neither act coquettishly nor cheat, and could only crawl up listlessly. It used its little claws to hook back the quicksand plate that had been pushed away, and then smashed its head into the special "sand": "I don't want to learn————"

Resistance is loud and ineffective.

The little phoenix was forced to make its sixty-eighth attempt after much hesitation.

After the 88th time, the scattered lines on the quicksand plate suddenly connected end to end, and spiritual energy flowed through them, forming a cycle in an instant - the formation was completed!

The little phoenix flapped its wings and stood up excitedly: "Success! Success!"

Because it was too excited, it let out a cute ending tone that hadn't been heard in a long time.

"Sir, please praise me!" The little phoenix held its head high, forgetting all the eighty-seven failures it had faced before. "Prohibited formations! I've drawn them!"

Yuchuan touched the little phoenix's head and burst into praises, which made the little phoenix so confused that the feathers on its body seemed to sparkle with the praises.

The little phoenix was getting more and more excited and wanted to do something to show off the forbidden formation he had learned.

It scratched its head with its claws, and its eyes moved around the special study room that Yuchuan built for them. After catching sight of a shelf, it suddenly realized—it could draw a picture, and then draw a forbidden formation on it!

The little phoenix did what it said. It used its spiritual power to control the paints to fly to its desk, and then asked Mr. Mo to make a beautiful scroll that met its aesthetic taste. It could not use spiritual power to make things out of thin air, but Mr. Mo could.

It must be that its current strength is too weak, so it cannot make items as easily as sir. When its strength is improved in the future... it will be so cool to be able to lift heavy objects as easily as sir!

The little phoenix was fantasizing as he happily spread out the scroll, using his spiritual power to control a ball of paint to fall onto the drawing paper. A ball of gray-green immediately appeared in the middle of the beautiful scroll, extending and gradually turning into a rectangle. The rectangle slowly "grew" limbs, developed a head, and then had facial features and patterns. Yuchuan watched the little phoenix as she created while turning her head to look at him from time to time, and he barely guessed that the gray-green ball in the middle of the drawing paper... well, probably him?

Sometimes what the eyes see and what the hands can draw are two different things, but the little phoenix, who is immersed in creation, automatically ignores the difference. After careful modification, the gray-green color becomes more abstract, but the little phoenix does not notice it. The more it looks at it, the more satisfied it feels.

It really looks like it, it’s worthy of being it!

On the left side of the abstract gray-green figure, the little phoenix used its spiritual power to fill in a red color. It remembered that the master had said in the story before that the most important part of a person's heart is on the left side after becoming a human, so the left side must be its position!

This ball of red represents the little phoenix itself. In order to show its power, the little phoenix painted itself a pair of large and majestic wings. Its wings were painted much larger than its body, and the proportions were distorted to the point of exaggeration, but the little phoenix thought it was perfect!

It should have such beautiful and gorgeous big wings!

The most important content has been completed, but there is still a large blank space on the painting. The little phoenix frowned and thought for a while, then added a white spot next to the gray-green. Although Bai Ze always disagrees with it, they have been together for so long, so he should just give it a place reluctantly!

Since Bai Ze was already in the painting, the little phoenix couldn't show favoritism, so it flapped its wings and added Qilin. However, the Qilin was positioned behind it, blocking a small part of its body. The little Qilin, who was aware of current affairs, of course had to stand behind the big boss!

But the scales of the little Qilin were a little difficult to draw. The little phoenix's brows became more and more wrinkled. Finally, I decided to focus on the Qilin's tail—this is a close-up, which even Bai Ze doesn't have!

Three quarters of the picture was filled, with a blank space in the upper right corner. The little phoenix felt that it was not perfect enough. In order to ensure the beauty of the painting, it reluctantly added a Canglong behind Bai Ze. Due to its inner dissatisfaction, the little phoenix gave up the cyan color, chose black, and even deliberately painted the Canglong into a little fat man. For the little phoenix who was obsessed with gold and brilliance, black was the ugliest color in the world!

The masterpiece was finished. Without waiting for the paint to dry, the little phoenix superimposed three forbidden arrays upwards, and then couldn't wait to show its results to the gentleman next to it: "Sir, my painting is really beautiful!"

"Yes..." Yuchuan looked at the abstract "family portrait" and saw something special in the painting from the little phoenix's expectant eyes. "The little phoenix has a talent for painting."

Being praised by the teacher again, the little phoenix was very proud. It held its head high and chest puffed out, with tiny sparks coming out from the gaps between its red and golden feathers: "I knew I was a painting genius!"

Oh my! How can it be so omnipotent and powerful?
