"I also wish it could become a real dragon, but it's just an illusion, an empty shell. It has the appearance of a dragon but not the abilities of one; at most, it just looks a bit more spirited. If we remove this dragon ball, this whole setup will be taken away."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi's little face was filled with disappointment.
Xiaoqi thought to herself: If only Xiaosen could become a real dragon! Why are there dragon legends even though there are no dragons in this world? Is there a way to turn Xiaosen into a real dragon?
Seeing Xiao Qi's dejected look, Xiao Si reached out and held his little sister's hand: "Xiao Qi, isn't this the dragon you wanted, dressed up as a dragon? You shouldn't be happy now."
Little Seven blinked her big eyes and asked in a childish voice, "Fourth Brother, why can't my wishes be fulfilled? I feel like I always have so many wishes, so many strange and wonderful wishes. Is that greed?"
Xiao Si was amused by her younger sister's innocent words.
Everyone has desires and greed.
However, very few people can speak so openly as their younger sister does.
Perhaps it's because my younger sister is still young. When she gets older, she won't say these true feelings anymore.
As people grow up, they all become full of secrets.
"This is not greed. Everyone is like this. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't work so hard. The harder a person works, the stronger their desires are. You see, people who have no desires or wants are often just lying around doing nothing."
"Is that so?" Xiaoqi tilted her head, feeling that she was still different from others.
Other people's wishes don't seem to be as strange as mine...
Xiaoqi reached out and touched the python's head, which now had two horns on its originally round head.
"Fourth Brother, although it looks a lot like a dragon, you can still tell it's Little Sen Sen."
"Equipment is also divided into levels. There are top-grade Dragon Balls that can achieve 100% similarity, but I don't think that's necessary. I chose the lowest grade, which can be seen as an anaconda. It's like a dragon made up, not a real dragon."
Less than an hour before the zoo opened, Xiaoqi yawned: "Grandpa, I'm sleepy!"
Han Fei sighed, holding his granddaughter: "You, why are you out looking for dragons instead of sleeping at night? The park is about to open, and you're going to sleep. Go to sleep."
"Grandpa, wake me up before the park opens!"
"Hmm." Han Fei thought to himself, if the little girl doesn't wake up, I won't wake her up. Let her sleep a little longer. What kind of child is so wild as to stay up all night?
Just as the park was about to open, the tiger raised its head and roared.
I successfully woke up Xiaoqi, who was sleeping soundly.
Han Fei: "..."
Xiao Qi glanced at Han Fei, then at her pink watch. Only five minutes left!
"Grandpa, why didn't you call me!"
"Do I need to call you?"
"Hmph! Luckily, I made a promise with Big Cat to wake me up before the park opens!"
"You've done a good job of preparation."
"Hmph!" Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue at Han Fei, then turned and ran away.
Han Fei shook his head. Today is the fifth day. The free event will end in two more days. Hopefully, there will be fewer tourists in the park. This little girl should settle down.
"It's open! It's open!"
"The door has finally opened! I've been waiting for this forever!"
"Quickly pack up the tents, the park's open!"...
Tourists rushed into the gate, wondering what kind of surprise the kids' king would bring today?
"Could there be anything more awe-inspiring than a national treasure?"
"I still vividly remember the scene of thirteen pandas appearing!"
"I'm so envious of those kids; they've all been carried by pandas!"
"What will it be today? What will the king ride on his way out?" Just like the adults, the children are even more excited about the feeling of riding on all sorts of animals—it's so thrilling!
A melody began to play, and a song echoed throughout the park: In the ancient East, there is a dragon—
"ah--"
"Ahhhh—"
"It's a dragon!!!"
"Mom, I saw a dragon!!!"
Xiao Qi sat steadily on the head of the anaconda, holding onto the dragon ball.
"Hello everyone, welcome to my zoo! Please have fun and eat and drink to your heart's content!" Xiaoqi's sweet, childlike voice carried far through the microphone.
But at this moment, the group of people couldn't hear Xiaoqi's voice at all. Some screamed, some frantically took pictures. Compared to the adults who had lost their minds, the children were extremely calm at this moment.
Grandpa, why are you crying?
"Son, Grandpa saw a dragon."
"This is a zoo. Dragons are animals. What's so special about seeing a dragon? Why are you crying?"
"Isn't that surprising? It's a dragon! My good darling, for every dragon kingdom, the dragon is a religion!"
The chubby boy tilted his head: "Can I ride faith?"
"This is outrageous! Those are our ancestors, how can you ride them?"
"But Your Majesty is riding on the head of a dragon!"
"Well……"
"Mom, can you please stop taking pictures? Your hand is twitching."
"Baby, you don't understand, that's a dragon!"
"It's just a dragon, isn't it? It's not like I've never seen one before."
"Baby, where else have I seen you before?"
"On TV!"
"Those are all fake! They're not the same!"
"Mommy, please stop taking pictures! Ugh!" The little girl sighed, feeling that taking her mother out for a trip was really tiring!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may I ride a dragon?"
"I want to ride a dragon too!"
"Your Majesty, once I ride on the dragon's back, will I become a dragon knight?"
"Haha, I want to be a dragon knight too!"
"Your Majesty, may I touch it?"
Little Seven instructed in her childish voice, "Everyone, line up properly. Little Sen Sen doesn't like you making a fuss."
"Okay, we won't argue."
"It looks so aloof!"
"Your Majesty, is its name Xiao Sen Sen?"
"The name 'Dragon' isn't imposing at all, it's so cute!"
"Can I call it Little Sensen too? Will it get angry?"
Xiaoqi raised her little hand: "You can call it Xiaosensen, it likes that name! I named it!"
"Your Majesty, is it really a dragon? Can it spray water like the dragons on TV, and make it rain by wagging its tail?"
"Aren't dragons fire-breathing?"
"No, no, it's a water sprayer!"
"Huh? I've heard that dragons generate thunder?"
"Aren't dragons from the sea? Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Dragon Palace, so dragons must be from the sea!"
"But I can see in cartoons that dragons breathe fire!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what exactly does the dragon breathe?"
Xiao Qi shook her head: "Xiao Sen Sen is not a dragon, it's just wearing makeup. It can't breathe fire or water."
"make up???"
"Like when we perform, we dress up as princesses or as trees, right?"
"If it's not a dragon, then what is it?"
"What looks so much like a dragon?"
Is it a snake?
"Snakes are very small, how could they be that big?"
Xiaoqi was surrounded by children asking questions all at once. Xiaoqi waved her little hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, it's an anaconda, not a snake."
The adults pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Upon hearing that it wasn't a dragon, they were all incredibly disappointed.
The online influencer laughed into the live stream, "Although it's not a real dragon, the makeup is amazing! It really looks like a dragon, doesn't it? This entrance show is just as good as yesterday's panda show!"
Yes, I think this one is cooler!
When the dragon appeared, it was impossible to tell the real thing from the fake one; I was truly awestruck!
Even knowing it's fake, I'm still shocked!
Anacondas are pretty cool too!
[The anaconda dressed up as a dragon is so cool! When I go back to China, I definitely want to go to Xiaoqi Zoo to see the anacondas. I hope it will still be wearing makeup by then!]
[Haha, I hope this makeup is permanent and I don't have to remove it!]
This reminds me of some zoos that, unable to obtain permits to keep pandas, have resorted to dressing up Chow Chows as pandas and keeping them in cages for tourists to see.
[Haha, I hope other zoos will learn from this and give their pythons and anacondas dragon makeovers!]
