Chapter 617 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 22
After washing up and returning to Nari's cave, Zhao Zhao felt refreshed. However, the moment Nari turned around, her hair, which she had just combed, was back to its messy state, with two bird eggs on top of it.
"......"
"Quickly, Nali, get the crystal bead! I need to go to the deep forest to test the future of the spirit beasts!"
When the topic turned to professional matters, his listless spirit, which had been dampened after his shower, was suddenly restored and he became full of energy again. He tugged at Neri's legs, and from Neri's downward angle, he couldn't help but think of a small animal that always liked to huddle at his feet.
"Good good."
Without stopping, he immediately took Zhao Zhao to the forest, where a small patch of open grass became his "stall location".
With Neri as their guardian deity, there is naturally no danger. However, the downside is that, let alone spirit beasts, even small animals that have not yet developed intelligence dare not approach them.
Zhao Zhao stood and waited for a long time, then sat and waited for a long time, but there was nothing in front of her.
"Little grass, little grass, do you need to test your future?"
The bored cub propped its chin up and even started talking to the grass on the ground.
Seeing that he looked quite pitiful, Neri said to Zhao Zhao, "I'll leave for a while."
As his figure disappeared into the depths of the jungle, the protective barrier around Zhao Zhao became more and more obvious. Zhao Zhao touched the thing with curiosity, but at the same time, she felt a great sense of security.
"Yue, what are you doing? I'm so bored."
Yue said irritably, "What else can we do? We just space out, of course."
What can he do after turning into an egg? Besides spacing out, what else can he do?
"If you keep yelling at me like that, I'm not going to keep you as my pet anymore." His tone was weak and he didn't seem threatening at all; he was just arguing out of boredom to get attention.
Yue became interested upon hearing this and this time she didn't mind him calling her a pet.
"Is there really such a good thing?! Then hurry up and throw me away. If you can, for the sake of how long I've been with you, throw me far away to the Phoenix Clan!~"
"Ha!" Zhao Zhao sneered coldly, "Your abacus beads are practically slapping my face."
"you are not willing?"
"......"
For a long time, Yue didn't have the strength to speak, but he finally managed to say, "I want to go home..."
Zhao Zhao was taken aback by what he heard: "Why are you so sure that the Phoenix Clan is your home?" These two eggs were clearly a reward from the system, and they had appeared in the Dragon Clan's territory from the very beginning. Yue had been by his side ever since she became conscious.
He didn't understand why Yue had chosen the Phoenix Clan. Was this the feeling of being close to home and feeling apprehensive about her bloodline awakening?
The two were completely on different wavelengths: "I am a phoenix! The phoenix clan isn't my home, is the dragon clan?!"
Zhao Zhao blushed and held the red phoenix egg in her palm: "I picked you up!" It was given to me by the system!
"Of course you belong to me!"
"Waaaah, you stinky dragon, I'm not yours!" Compared to the Phoenix Clan, even though he came to the Dragon Clan with his memories intact, he didn't feel much of a sense of belonging.
At this moment, he longed to go home, but Zhao Zhao wouldn't allow it. However, after a while, when Zhao Zhao finally allowed it, he didn't want to go back. This future was something the two arguing cubs hadn't anticipated.
Only when reality arrives do we begin to lament the impermanence of life and the disappointments of our desires.
"That stinky bird just cries and cries!"
"...Excuse me..." A hesitant, unfamiliar voice rang out in the quiet forest. Zhao Zhao immediately looked up, her chest still heaving with anger: "What's wrong!"
Before them stood a strange spirit beast that looked like both a cat and a dog. His tone was somewhat fierce, and the little spirit beast instantly took a few steps back as if it were frightened.
However, facing Zhao Zhao's questioning gaze, he still asked in a trembling voice, "I heard you can predict the future?... Can I try?"
"of course can!"
Zhao Zhao's mood brightened visibly, and she quickly and affectionately took the little spirit beast's hand: "What is your birth date and name?"
Zhao Zhao's tone and actions now resemble those of those charlatan swindlers.
However, the scammer is fake; he is the real deal.
The little spirit beast didn't come here voluntarily, so it doesn't matter whether you believe the little cub in front of you can calculate anything.
He mechanically followed the cub's instructions, and when his blank gaze actually saw an image of himself appear on the crystal bead, he was so shocked that he forgot to speak.
Zhao Zhao was very satisfied with his mental strength, which hadn't let him down. He scratched his head and looked at the crystal bead, explaining happily, "The test is for your future a year from now. The crystal bead shows that your mother's illness will be cured soon."
The image of a mother and her child reunited on the crystal bead flashed by, the powerful spirit beast mother on the bead forming a stark contrast to her current sickly state at home.
The little spirit beast, who had given up hope of recovery, suddenly had a glimmer of light in its eyes.
"Really...really?!"
"Of course!" Zhao Zhao grinned, showing off her white teeth. "Even your lords who have used it say it's great!"
The little spirit beast remembered the man's identity. "That's right, he's the young master of the Dragon Clan. I heard he's a rare ancestral dragon. Isn't it normal for him to have the ability to predict the future?"
The little spirit beast, who had never trusted Zhao Zhao's ability to test the future, now sees its healthy mother in the future and begins to use everything it knows to convince itself that this is real.
After seeing off one guest, one after another, many spirit beasts lined up on Zhao Zhao's side. The grass that had been deserted before suddenly became crowded with spirit beasts. However, the scene was surprisingly quiet, and not a single spirit beast spoke or showed any emotion.
"Oh, these spirit beasts, I bet they were brought here by some overprotective lord~" Yue couldn't help but say while she was having a cold war with Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao gritted her teeth: "Shut up."
He certainly saw it, and he was also aware that given the current relationship between the dragon race and other spirit beasts, if the spirit beasts didn't take measures, no spirit beast would approach them on their own initiative.
Furthermore, Zhao Zhao looked at these spirit beasts.
Neri did not harm them to force them to cooperate with her actions, which was a significant improvement compared to the brutal dragons of the past, and this was one of the purposes of Zhao Zhao's activities.
When Zhao Zhao saw Neri emerge from the jungle at a leisurely pace, she said directly, "Neri! Thank you!"
"But I'm curious, how did you manage to convince them in such a short time?"
Neri stroked the cub's head, her coldness replaced by tenderness: "Treasure temptation or verbal threat."
He spoke truthfully, and looking into Zhao Zhao's clear eyes, he knew what she was going to say.
The man in red chuckled softly, "I support whatever you want to do."
"Young Master, go ahead and do what you want to do. I will always be behind you."
The dragon race will belong to Loriel in the future, to this little dragon cub before him.
