Chapter 604 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 9
The life-sized crystal bead reflected Zhao Zhao's youthful face like a mirror. He smiled, and the little dragon in the mirror smiled along with him.
The red egg rolled to him, and together they were reflected in the clear crystal ball.
"Little one, try putting your hand on it."
"Then, release your mental energy."
Neri spoke with pride, for ordinary little dragons don't have such high talent, but their little one, Loriel, had spiritual power shortly after birth.
Her crimson eyes were filled with nothing but that figure, her gaze full of tenderness and doting affection.
As instructed, Zhao Zhao placed his palm on the crystal bead. In his mind and in reality, the system and Neri were gently instructing him on how to operate it.
He mobilized all his mental energy and slowly placed his hand on the crystal bead. His mental energy spread across it like a spider web, leaving behind streaks of silver.
Until the crystal beads were completely covered, a blurry image slowly appeared before my eyes.
It was none other than Neri.
However, it doesn't seem like it. Is Neri really that fierce?
Before Zhao Zhao could even turn her head to compare him to the real man, he was lifted up with his hands on his hips.
"My little one, you are the most amazing little one in the world!" Neri's face was beaming, and her gentle eyes were full of surprise and excitement.
He didn't see clearly who was inside the crystal bead. When he saw that the cub could use the bead, the overwhelming joy in his mind overwhelmed his reason.
"My little one, my little one, so you really are the legendary Ancestral Dragon! Our dragon race, after thousands of years, is finally going to have a young master!!!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, he wanted nothing more than to kiss the dragon cub on the spot. Looking at the still bewildered little dragon, his heart was filled with tenderness.
"Huh?" Zhao Zhao had no idea: "Are you happy that I'm the Ancestral Dragon?"
"Of course, baby!" Neri's voice was several octaves louder than usual.
Zhao Zhao lowered her head, her large eyes reflecting the man's cheerful and gentle smile, which was completely at odds with the gloomy man in the crystal bead.
It's as if they're not the same person.
With just one glance at the scene, he easily remembered the coldness in those emotionless eyes.
Neri held Zhao Zhao in her arms, gently patted his head, and casually asked, "What did you see on the crystal bead, little one?"
"I have some good news for you, little one! You can use the crystal bead to see a person's past or future!"
"Isn't it amazing?"
"This little one will bring good fortune to our dragon race!"
The man whispered softly in her ear, but when Zhao Zhao turned back to look at the crystal bead again, she found that the image on it had completely disappeared.
"Huh? Where did it go?" Zhao Zhao struggled in the man's arms.
Neri quickly hugged him tightly: "Don't worry, baby, the image on the crystal bead only stays for a short time, this is normal."
He had once been fortunate enough to witness the former Ancestral Dragon Lord using the Crystal Bead, and now he was able to answer some of the cub's questions.
"Nari, did you see the people up there just now?"
Zhao Zhao quickly asked Nali, but the man shook his head casually, "No, I was just looking after the baby."
"Oh dear! You were the one who was up there just now!"
“It’s okay.” Neri was surprised for a moment, not expecting that the first person her little one would see would be her.
But it's nothing serious.
The past is past, and he no longer dwells on it; the future is just around the corner, and he is not in a hurry for it.
For some reason, Zhao Zhao couldn't shake the feeling that the scene from earlier had been bothering her: "But you looked so fierce in the crystal bead just now..."
"I'm sorry I scared the baby."
Neri just patted his head to comfort him, as if he didn't care about his own affairs at all.
He didn't realize what had turned a gentle and elegant Zhulong lord into such a cold and indifferent person.
Just as Neri was caught between nonsensical joy and Zhao Zhao's confusion, another powerful pressure came from the cave entrance.
Zhao Zhao, whose mental strength had grown considerably in just a few days, could clearly sense this aura and immediately turned her head in alarm.
At the magnificent entrance of the Dragon Cave, Erstoo, bathed in the glow of the setting sun and with a serious expression, walked in with his hands behind his back. His golden eyes were completely focused on the crystal beads beside them, and then on Zhao Zhao.
Neri was in a good mood and didn't blame him for trespassing on her territory. Under his suspicious gaze, she smiled and said, "This is our young master of the dragon clan, Loriel."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhao's aloof and handsome face immediately broke into a smile, her excitement rivaling that of Neri: "Young Master."
He immediately bowed and knelt down faster than anyone else.
Zhao Zhao wasn't familiar with him after all, so she nestled in Nelli's arms and looked at him with an inquisitive gaze.
The man kneeling on one knee looked very serious, and when he stood up, he looked like a soldier.
"We must inform the people of the Dragon Clan as soon as possible about the birth of the young master."
Erstoo's gaze was fixed on Zhao Zhao; to him, Zhao Zhao was like a cat toy to a cat.
He had no doubt about the truth of Neri's words. At this moment, the special spiritual energy emanating from the cub was subtly fluctuating around him, bringing a comfortable feeling.
Neri nodded with a smile, he couldn't wait to see how excited the entire Dragon Clan would be when their young master was born.
“Young Master’s identity is special, Neri,” her sharp golden eyes swept directly at the smiling Neri, “You are not suitable to take care of the young master, I think I am more suitable.”
"..."
Neri's smile froze slightly: "You came all this way just to steal my baby?"
When the chubby dragon cub nestled in the man's arms, looking at him with innocent eyes, Erstoo felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
This strengthened her resolve to take care of the cubs: "Of course, otherwise who would come to this wretched place?"
He had been drawn over by the cries of the cubs, but he never expected to hear such a big surprise.
He visited this territory, which he hadn't set foot in for hundreds of years, twice in just a few days after his child was born.
This shows how deep Erstoo's affection for the cubs was, though it wasn't outwardly apparent.
Neri is gentle and considerate of the bigger picture. He would have given in to anyone else long ago, but the cub is different.
He still harbored a selfish thought: "It's good for the baby to stay here, and besides, the baby likes to be with me."
He winked at Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Zhao smiled and winked back at him.
The adults and the baby stared at each other, creating a moment of harmony.
Erstoo: "Young Master, may I hug you?" He couldn't resist any longer.
Zhao Zhao turned to look at Neri, and only after seeing him nod did she reach out to Erstoo: "Okay, you can only hug me for a little while."
The cub looked smug, its face revealing an undisguised secret delight.
It touched the hearts of the two patriarchs.
Erstoo's powerful arms dared not exert any force, but merely circled Zhaozhao in a perfunctory manner.
Zhao Zhao felt unsafe and vulnerable, so she kicked his chest with her chubby feet.
"Young Master likes me very much."
Neri was speechless: "How did you figure that out?"
"You can tell from what I see."
Ersto remembered that Zhao Zhao had said he would only hold her for a short while, so after a short while, he really did put Zhao Zhao on the ground.
"Thank you, young master."
Zhao Zhao: ?
Zhao Zhao became somewhat interested in this serious and meticulous dragon.
He grinned mischievously, ran up to Erstoo, hugged his leg, and excitedly shouted to Neri, "Neri, I want to play with him!"
Her big eyes were full of curiosity about the golden dragon.
Erstoo: "See? The young master really likes me."
Neri (gritting her teeth): ...Congratulations!
