Three days later.
Time flies, passing in the blink of an eye.
These days are rare busy and efficient days for the dragon clan.
When a new dragon is recognized and joins the dragon clan, all the dragons in the clan come to recognize its face and become familiar with it.
Originally, it was not so easy for a new dragon to gain the approval of the ten members of the dragon clan so quickly, but Luo Zheyu's human life and dragon life together only added up to more than twenty years. In the eyes of the dragon clan, which has a long life and slow development of young dragons, this life is not much different from a two or three-year-old human child.
What can be done to test and teach a two or three year old child?
He is still young and doesn't know anything. He needs to be guided slowly.
"Ayu, do you like this?" The huge silver-white claws held a golden ring. The ring was round and smooth, and larger than the red dragon's body.
"This is Lu's favorite toy when he was young. I'll give it to you to play with." Yinlong said as he put the golden ring on Luo Zheyu's head.
Luo Zheyu tried to dodge but failed, and the golden ring was put into the dragon's neck.
It feels warm to the touch, but too heavy.
Like a hula hoop.
"What's so fun about that? Dragons all love to play with beads. You probably don't have one yet. I'll give you one."
An ice-blue "bead" about the same size as the red dragon's head rose in front of the black dragon and slowly passed in front of Luo Zheyu.
"This bead was dug out from an ice pond. It's not very good, but it matches your nature. If you polish it well, it will warm and nourish your body."
"Xiao Yu, can you change your human form?" another dragon asked. This dragon was bigger than the others and had a dark red body. The other dragons called her the elder.
Luo Zheyu nodded hesitantly.
"Xiaoyu is really amazing! Can you transform into one for me to see?"
Dozens of pairs of eyes immediately stared at the Red Dragon with great interest, ready to watch his performance.
Luo Zheyu even had a feeling that he was not trying to transform into a human form, but was performing some rare stunts.
The red dragon moved slightly, and its hundred-meter-long body disappeared instantly, leaving only a nearly one-meter-tall young man in red standing there, with sharp eyebrows, slightly raised eyes, bright golden pupils, and a look of high spirits.
It's taller than before.
There was a living pendant hanging on the thigh, with fur of distinct black and white color, motionless and extremely well-behaved.
Like a panda doll.
Panda Yunsheng tried hard to reduce his presence. These past few days, he completely treated himself as a toy and only hoped that the dragon bosses would ignore him.
There is no one around who can be provoked, so just keep a low profile and act like a bear.
"Ayu is really amazing, much more amazing than Lu when he was young. He couldn't transform even when he was five hundred years old!" Silver Dragon praised with a laugh, and his tone could be said to be very coaxing to a child.
If I hadn’t heard him secretly saying to the black dragon next to him, “Ayu’s body has grown a little too fast after her transformation. It’s too big to be held and teased. It’s not very fun.”
Luo Zheyu almost believed his lies.
As he was talking, a small black dragon passed by in the distance. The black dragon turned around and called out, "Ling'er, come here."
The little black dragon swam in the clouds and looked curiously at Luo Zheyu who was standing among the dragons. His body moved slightly and in a blink of an eye he turned into a little girl of eight or nine years old.
She was wearing a tight black dress and her eyes were bright.
"What did Daddy call me for?"
Then he asked Luo Zheyu, "Are you a new dragon who just joined the clan? Aren't you less than a hundred years old? How come you are already so big..."
"You are growing too slowly!" Black Dragon smiled at his daughter.
"I'm not growing slowly!" The little black dragon was dissatisfied, and pointed at Luo Zheyu and said, "He is growing too fast, too... too anxious!"
Growing Up Too Hastily·Luo Zheyu: …
Black Dragon laughed loudly and suddenly said something shocking: "What do you think of him becoming your husband in the future?"
Hearing this, the little black dragon looked at Luo Zheyu seriously and said, "He looks very good. I like him, but he's too tall. I can only reach his waist..."
"What's the big deal? You'll grow taller in the future."
The black dragon and his daughter were whispering as if they were alone, causing the other dragons to make fun of them.
But I didn't think it was a big deal. Dragons are difficult to breed, their lifespans are long, and there are many single dragons, so everyone pairs up if possible.
Only Luo Zheyu was left shocked.
But Black Dragon asked him: "Are you willing to be Ling'er's husband?"
Although it was a joke, it was also serious.
How can one accept this?
They’re arranging a marriage for him after only knowing each other for a few days. The dragon clan is really... bold and unrestrained.
Luo Zheyu finally found his voice and looked at the black-dressed lolita who was no more than nine years old when the little black dragon turned into. He said, "...She is still young. Let's talk about it later."
"Although I'm small, I'm much bigger than you!" said the little black dragon with a pout.
Black Dragon also echoed: "Ling'er is nine hundred years old."
He is more than 800 years older than Luo Zheyu. Compared with him, he is just an infant.
"...I'm still young, let's talk about it later." Luo Zheyu said with difficulty.
The Black Dragon just mentioned it casually, mostly to tease the young dragon. Seeing his embarrassment, he laughed out loud as if he had succeeded. His voice was as loud as thunder, and the heaven and earth seemed to shake with his laughter, shaking Luo Zheyu's chest.
…
What is it like to be treated as a cub?
They will be pulled by other cubs to play and play games, and will show you their toys.
The "adults" passing by may stop to tease you and ask some innocent and cute silly questions.
You will not be allowed to leave alone without a guardian.
After being assigned a guardian, it is even more impossible to leave.
Luo Zheyu and Yunsheng's plan to leave the Dragon Clan and go to another place in the world to see if this world is suitable for cultivation failed.
The one competing to be his father is a white dragon. He is very powerful and straightforward, but he is still a single dog. Luo Zheyu can't quite understand his idea of competing for custody.
He had no choice but to accept this.
The dragon clan is very friendly to new members, but sometimes they don't ask for the opinions of the young dragons, just like adults rarely ask for the opinions of children.
Luo Zheyu and Yunsheng live in the white dragon's cave. Above the sky, there is a floating island, surrounded by colorful clouds all year round.
After staying there for more than a month, Bai Long often brought him some rare treasures to eat, and occasionally taught him how to control water. During this period, Luo Zheyu's strength improved a lot.
But Bailong never agreed to Luo Zheyu leaving the dragon clan.
"You are still young, and the world outside is very dangerous." Bai Long taught earnestly.
Luo Zheyu didn't react. He had heard this so many times that his ears were callused. Seeing this, Bai Long said, "For example, the last time you ran into that human who stole the dragon egg, if it wasn't for Xun's timely arrival, the consequences would have been disastrous."
The red dragon looked up at him without saying a word, his eyes looking very stubborn.
I didn't listen and still wanted to send out the dragon clan.
He swore an oath to himself that he would help Yunsheng and his companions reach the new world before the materials of the teleportation array were used up.
Now he is a young dragon that is less than a hundred years old. According to the dragon clan, only adult dragons have the ability to stand on their own and can leave the dragon clan on their own, but he is still more than two thousand nine hundred years away from adulthood.
Luo Zheyu couldn't wait. He had spent more than 2,900 years here. Not to mention whether Yunsheng and the others' spirits could hold on, he himself had never stayed in a world for more than three to five years. Who knew if the flow rate in real life would change if time was too long?
Perhaps after waiting for more than two thousand years, he returned to reality and found that only a pile of bones remained of his original body.
Or maybe, only one night had passed, and the appearance of the former family members could no longer be remembered because more than two thousand years had passed.
After all, his soul is still human, and he cannot sleep for a thousand years and die like a real dragon.
"Yu, stay in the tribe. You can go play with Ling'er or other young dragons. The world outside is really boring. It's not as free as in the tribe."
The red dragon shook his head, looked at the white dragon that was more than three times bigger than him and said, "I have something I must do."
Helplessness flashed across Bai Long's eyes. He sighed and couldn't help but mutter softly, "You are only this old. What important things can a little kid do... It's really hard to guess what a young dragon is thinking..."
Seeing that Red Dragon was still insisting and refusing to give up, White Dragon changed the subject and said in a slightly more serious tone: "The egg thief from last time was still not giving up and came again a few days ago, but this time he was discovered before he even got close to the Spirit Palace."
"He's quite good at escaping. If we don't catch him, he'll probably come back again. Even the dragon eggs in our tribe are coveted by greedy and fearless humans. If you go out, I don't know how many eyes will stare at you. Don't mention this matter again."
After saying this, the white dragon swam, flew up into the clouds and left.
What he said made sense, but no matter how dangerous it was, Luo Zheyu couldn't wait for more than two thousand years.
"Oh, what should I do? I'm so worried!" After Bailong left and Luo Zheyu was the only one left, Yunsheng dared to move his body.
"My lord, you don't have to pay attention to those four residual souls. It is safe to stay in the Dragon Clan, and there is abundant spiritual energy. Your cheap father will bring you natural treasures to eat. Isn't it wonderful? With such unique resources, I wonder how many cultivators will be envious to the point of bleeding. Besides, the inner demon oath you swore did not require a time limit..." The Wanmianjing also came to give Luo Zheyu bad advice.
Although Yunsheng couldn't hear what the Mirror said, he knew it was true. He became more worried, and his whole body exuded a sense of melancholy.
Luo Zheyu was also worried. He used his tail to roll the clouds into a big ball, and the whole dragon went into it without any part of it being exposed.
…
After a while.
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! Are you there? Are you there? "The clear voice of a little girl came all the way.
"...Hmm." A muffled sound came from the huge cloud.
"Xiao Yu, my father went to the mortal world and brought back a lot of interesting books. Do you want to take a look?" The little black dragon said as he used his head and claws to disperse the cloud in two or three moves, revealing the red dragon inside.
"Ling'er, can you call me by another name?"
Although the little black dragon is more than nine hundred years old, after she transforms, she looks like an eight or nine-year-old girl and has the same mental state. Luo Zheyu feels a little uncomfortable when she calls her Xiaoyu.
"Why? Your name contains the character 'Yu' and you're younger than me, so it's fine for me to call you Xiaoyu!" The little black dragon didn't care and grabbed it with one claw.
"Come quickly, I'm the first one to call you. The books in the mortal world are very interesting, much more interesting than the books on cultivation techniques in the immortal world. There is suppression over there, so Daddy rarely goes there."
This world is very big. There are the mortal world, the immortal world, the spiritual world, and the virtual world. The place where the dragon clan is located is in the virtual world.
"Ling'er, have you ever been a dragon?" Seeing the familiar tone of the black dragon, the red dragon couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I've been out!" The little black dragon replied, instantly arousing Luo Zheyu's attention.
"I went out with my father a hundred years ago and stayed in the fairyland for a month! The outside world is so interesting, there are humans everywhere, and there are many other animals. My favorite is the human market... I really hope to become an adult soon, so that I can go wherever I want!"
She muttered a lot and suddenly turned around: "Xiaoyu, do you want to go out too?"
Before the red dragon could answer, he continued, "But you are too young, much younger than when I left, not even a hundred years old. Your father dragon will not agree to let you go!"
Luo Zheyu opened his mouth, speechless.
Arriving at the Black Dragon's cave, the two transformed into human form and looked through the books that the Black Dragon had brought from the mortal world.
Yunsheng was also quietly flipping through them. Since he couldn't leave the Dragon Clan, perhaps he could learn some information from these books.
However, most of what Heilong brought back were storybooks and travel notes, most of which were fabricated and could not be used as a reference.
"Xiao Yu, do you really want to go out?" The little black dragon looked at him, then suddenly came over and asked Luo Zheyu mysteriously.
"yes."
"Do you really, really want to go out?" The little black dragon rolled his big eyes and confirmed again.
"I really want to go out." Luo Zheyu also looked serious.
"Okay, I'll help you find a solution!" The little black dragon stood up seriously and patted Luo Zheyu on the shoulder.
"I'm really worried about you, but I like you."
The little black dragon put his hands behind his back, lowered his head in thought, and walked back and forth in front of Luo Zheyu.
"Got it!" She suddenly raised a tiny finger and looked up.
Luo Zheyu looked at her seriously.
"I'll go talk to my dad and ask him to take me out to play. When he agrees, you can go back and act like a spoiled child to your father and ask him to take you out as well. If he refuses, you can say that Ling'er's dad always takes Ling'er out, so why doesn't he want to take you? Does he not love you?"
"First, act like a spoiled child, then cry, then make a scene. This method always works for me when dealing with Daddy!"
"Let's go out and play together then!"
Luo Zheyu: …
Looking at the serious look of the little black dragon, he fell silent.
