"The dragon has a snake-like body, two legs, and a pair of feather wings on its ribs."

During the banquet, Doctor Xun described the appearance of a dragon.

After several months of training by Chen Xi, the maids and cooks around him have also learned their trade. In the kitchen, they basically only need to watch the heat and control the quality of the dishes.

Lunch was soon ready.

In addition to Yao Jun, Chen Xi, Mi Yanhua, Grandpa Chen, Doctor Xun and others, those present also included several children born to Mi Yanhua.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the maids served them a variety of delicious dishes.

Doctor Xun also began to describe the process of seeing the dragon.

"I was still a child at that time, learning from my teacher."

"We often go to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs, and sometimes we'd be gone for three to five days."

Doctor Xun sighed when he thought of his childhood life, and then said, "There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains. Usually, he would go with other herbalists or doctors, probably more than ten people, and everyone carried a sharp weapon to prevent any accidents."

Mi Yanhua had been living a life of luxury since childhood and had never had any experience of living at the bottom of society. When she listened to Doctor Xun's story, it was like listening to a story and she found it very interesting.

Although it was like listening to a story, she still sighed: "Life is not easy."

Doctor Xun looked embarrassed for a moment and lowered his head to drink to cover it up.

Chen Xi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and turned his head to glance at Yao Jun. Seeing that he was concentrating on eating the fried tripe in the bowl, he curled his lips and picked up a shrimp for him.

Yao Jun put down his chopsticks, peeled the shrimp with his bare hands, and then put the shrimp meat to Chen Xi's mouth.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to meet Yao Jun's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He felt sweet in his heart, smiled at him, and then ate the shrimps.

When Mi Yanhua saw their natural and sweet appearance, she couldn't help but think of that gentle man again, and her heart ached.

No one noticed that something was wrong with her, and even if they did, there would be nothing they could do. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. They could only ask their children and grandchildren to spend more time with her, hoping that time would heal the pain.

Doctor Xun was still speaking below. Ji Li and Ji Yao were still young, so they listened attentively and even forgot to eat.

"That day we went into the mountains to collect herbs, and we were accompanied by hunters from nearby. Everything went smoothly. In five days, we collected many herbs, including several very rare treasures."

"On the last day, when we were preparing to return, the sunny day suddenly turned into a cloudy sky."

"We didn't think much of it at first, because the weather in the mountains is so changeable. It may be cloudless one moment, but it can be cloudy the next."

When the wine in the cup was finished, the maidservant would refill it.

He drank one cup after another. Although the alcohol content of alcohol in that era was not high, Doctor Xun's alcohol tolerance was even lower, and he was already a little drunk at this time.

But he still remembered to tell the whole story.

"We all thought it was going to be a rainstorm, so we quickly looked for shelter nearby. Fortunately, we had hunters with us. They were very familiar with the forest and knew there was a dry cave nearby."

"Then we hurried to the cave. It wasn't far, but we had to wade across a stream. We could hear a rumbling sound coming from the upper reaches of the stream. It must be a waterfall, but we didn't have time to see it."

"Just as we crossed the stream, we heard some strange cries from deep in the forest!"

When Chen Xi heard this, his expression became focused and he asked, "Is it a dragon?"

Xun Chi shook his head: "I don't know. There are many wild animals in the mountains. I often hear strange noises, but no one dares to go over to see what it is."

"After crossing the stream, we hurried back a bit and finally arrived at the cave. There was some dry firewood inside. It must have been left there by the hunters."

"Just when we were making the fire, it started to rain. It was raining really hard, like there was a hole in the sky."

"It was as if the sky was shattered into pieces. Purple and blue lightning bolts were like tree branches. The thunder was shaking the entire mountain."

Chen Xi imagined the scene and his face turned pale. It was indeed scary, worthy of the power of heaven and earth.

Yao Jun stretched out his arms to hug her and whispered, "It's okay."

Chen Xi's expression looked better. He nodded and continued to listen to Xun Chi's account of the encounter with the dragon.

Xun Chi: "It was at this time that a flash of lightning illuminated the dark forest, and a dark shadow fell from the sky."

Speaking of this, Xun Chi shook his head and laughed, "At that time, I was young, and I was afraid of the thunder between heaven and earth, but I was also curious and wanted to see it. That's why I didn't see the dragon otherwise."

"That dragon fell down for some reason. Maybe it was struck by lightning."

Ji Li's eyes widened nervously: "Is the dragon dead?"

Although people of this era revered dragons, it was a worship based on totems and bloodlines, and was actually also a form of ancestor worship.

The Azure Dragon, one of the Four Symbols, has many believers, but he is not a dragon. Instead, he is a star and a creator god, and he has no physical form.

Xun Chi shook his head: "No."

As he finished speaking, Chen Xi could hear a sigh, as if he felt very sorry.

In fact, it is a pity for her. If she was dead, she could try to send someone to look for her. Even though decades have passed, there is a chance that the dragon bones can still be found.

Xun Chi continued, "After the dragon landed in the forest, it barked a few times. Because it was raining heavily and the distance was quite far, I couldn't hear it clearly. It sounded a bit like the mooing of a cow, but much sharper than a cow."

"After a while, the dragon flew up again and lay on the top of the tree, holding its head high, doing something unknown."

"Then it seemed to see me... or it might have been the fire in the cave. The rain had stopped by then, and there were only occasional thunder in the sky, so it flew away."

"I wasn't the only one who saw it. The hunters and herbalists also saw it."

"Later I heard that those hunters boasted to others that they had seen a dragon, and even made a bet that they would hunt a dragon to eat with their wine."

Ji Li asked in surprise: "Have they come to hunt?"

Xun Chi sighed, and then he said, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying, "We didn't meet Long and the others, but we met Shanjun!"

Chen Xi: ...Oh my goodness, dragon hunters encounter tigers, these hunters are really unlucky.

But to be honest, it is also their vanity that is at work.

If I hadn't made a bet with others, I probably wouldn't have encountered the tiger and lost my life.

After the story was told, Xun Chi was also drunk, so Yao Jun waved his hand and asked someone to help him go down to rest.

After Xun Chi left, there were no outsiders in the hall.

Mi Yanhua originally had four biological sons. Ji You had been killed by Ji Hua, and now there are three left.

They were all grown up, all married, and some even had children. They were now sitting next to Mi Yanhua with their families.

Ji Li and Ji Yao are still young, and should be at a carefree age, but now they feel a little awkward.

The throne is vacant.

Although Yao Jun was ruling the world on behalf of the emperor, Mi Yanhua was still the queen, and she was actually Yao Jun's cousin.

Fortunately, there is a big age gap between the two of them, and Yao Jun himself is very capable, otherwise, who knows how much gossip people would make up about him.

Mi Yanhua didn't care about this. She was already married to Ji Ming when Yao Jun was born, and she even held him in her arms when he was one year old.

Looking at her children below, Mi Yanhua frowned and said, "This is your aunt's first time here, why don't you go and greet her?"

"aunt?"

Chen Xi didn't quite realize that he was talking about her.

Yao Jun grinned and said, "I'm talking about you."

shock! ! !

Chen Xi quickly sat up straight, put on a stern face, and tried to act like an elder.

But she had never been an elder and didn't know what to look like, so she looked at Yao Jun with grievance.

Yao Jun wordlessly took her into his arms.

What a little guy!

But it’s really cute!

I wonder if the child they have will also be of this type!
