Dragon?

Qiao Zhi doesn't like the palace.

Almost all of the unpleasant memories here are carried.He lived here when he was a child, and the brightly colored bricks that he could touch were like stones fished out of a cold pool, cold with moisture.

The stove was burning in the room, but the skin under the clothes was covered with goose bumps, densely stacked on his arms and back. He said nothing, waiting for the summons that would eventually come.

Qiaodandan was also trembling.

He stroked the rough edges of the straw basket, feeling it trembling slightly inside, and the thick bedding couldn't hold it down anymore.

Suddenly feeling that he had harmed it, Qiao Zhi's heart ached, and he couldn't help thinking wildly: he didn't know how it would be treated after it was discovered.

When the dragon was still an egg, people felt that "such a big egg is so rare" and wanted to eat it.

Now that it looks so fat and has a lot of meat, will everyone in the palace eat it with one chopstick?

It's all his fault, it shouldn't be so fat.It also balds its fur, and now it has no ornamental value.

The dragon has not yet been able to transform into a human being and become "Qiao Xiaohua"...

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, Qiao Zhi quietly put his hand into the grass basket, and stroked its bald forehead soothingly through the thick quilt.

After touching it a few times, Qiao Zhi noticed something strange. - The quilt was very hot.

The heat seeps up from the bottom of the layers of quilts, and while paying attention to the movement outside the door, he removes the quilts by feeling.

When Qiao Zhi touched the skin on the dragon's head, his heart trembled violently.

His hand was scalded with blisters, it was as hot as a hot kettle!

——Something happened to Joe Eggy.

Qiao Zhi stood up abruptly, lost in thought.

Regardless of whether it would arouse suspicion, he quickly ran to close the door.

The straw basket containing Joe's eggs was tilted, and the fiery dragon rolled out together with the messy sundries.

I haven't seen it for a long time, it has gained a lot of weight, and its skin is no longer pale pink like flower petals, but its color is much, much darker.

The usually lively pupils were tightly closed, the sharp claws were gathered together, and the tail was curled up.It maintained its posture in the grass basket, trying its best to keep itself small. ——But it is still obvious, gaining weight! !

Qiao Zhi called it softly, but it seemed to be unconscious and didn't respond at all.

He had never encountered such a thing before, he was at a loss, forgot the blister on his hand in a panic, and touched it with his bare hands.

"hiss--"

It didn't help, the few extra blisters he produced were of no use to the dragon's fever.

Qiao Zhi entered the palace, and this behavior made Long Xiu's base skyrocket.

No matter how many good things he did before, he was far from achieving this effect, so he naturally didn't know that this was a normal phenomenon for him to grow up.

"Would you like water?" Qiao Zhi was quick to think, and saw the teapot on the table.

——No, no, the water in the teapot is hot, right? !

He stomped his feet anxiously, he couldn't think of anything else, he poured out a little water without reason, and directly touched it with his fingers to test the temperature of the water.

— not hot, but warm.

Joe Eggy seemed to feel something, leaned her listless head over, and tipped the teapot.

From the moment the door was closed, the palace servants listened to the movements in the room with their outer ears.

Throwing things down, kicking the bed, knocking over the teacup, there was a burst of bang bang bang bang bang, anyone who heard it would notice something unusual, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"I want to take a shower!!" Qiao Zhi, who had reacted, yelled at the top of his throat, "Cold water!!!"

……

It's not unusual to have to take a shower.

But it's autumn, so it's a bit strange to ask for cold water.

The palace people went to prepare in one wave, and reported the information to the emperor in another wave.

When the tub filled with cold water was delivered to the house, there was no abnormality in the room.The little boy stood behind the screen, and screened away all the people who came in to wait for the bath.

If the water doesn't come again, Qiao Zhi suspects that Qiao Dandan will burn the mat on the bed.

The newly drilled well water dripped on it, making a terrifying "Zi la——" sound.

The dark pink dragon was placed on the cold floor, like a piece of burnt wood.

It still looked unconscious, but he began to hesitate whether it was right to do so, whether the sudden presence of water would cause its hot and dry skin to burst.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon gained weight again.

The coolness it felt disappeared, its eyes opened slightly, and it gave a weak "chi" to Qiao Zhi.

He understood.

After a while...

The hands with blisters were submerged in the cold water, traces of blood drifted away, and the coldness and pain were painful.

The floor was wet, and the water flowing down through its body was warm.

The cooling effect is gradually showing effect. Long Cong is turned into a piece of wet hot wood from the dry wood, but his consciousness is still not clear.

--what to do?Soak in water to cool down faster!

Qiao Zhi swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and threw it into the bathtub.

"Whoa..."

The large bathtub overflowed with abundant water, and the low water temperature was quite uncomfortable for the dragon.

"Boom-!!!"

It was confused, eager to break free, flicked its tail with all its strength, first brought down the screen, and then threw Qiao Zhi mercilessly to the corner of the room.

Together with Emperor Zheng Yang who was about to push the door to enter, they were also startled by the sound.

He was suspicious by nature, and subconsciously felt that there was danger in this room, and he was afraid of being plotted by the enemy.

The hand on the door was clenched into a fist and retracted into the sleeve.

Ordered the palace people to find a hiding place, poked the paper on the window, and Emperor Zheng Yang cautiously looked inside.

What he saw shocked him.

——Which is the "little boy" they retrieved from the mountains in the tub!It was a kind of animal that he had never seen before, and it was [-]% similar to the "dragon" in the ancient books shown by Jiang Ningxu! !

Emperor Zheng Yang stared at it desperately, wishing to stuff his eyeballs in.

The more clearly I saw it, the more I couldn't believe it.

It was as if it was his offending gaze that aroused its anger again.

The mythical beast in the bathtub swung its long tail ferociously again, bringing up a smoky water sword.

——This... the water that was sent into the house was clearly cold water!Now it's hot? !

Emperor Zheng Yang looked away in a daze. ——A god, really a god! !

Jiang Ningxu in Ren Daoist Temple spoke so miraculously, unlike what he saw with his own eyes once.

Fu Zhengyang was originally a person who didn't believe in gods and monsters, and didn't believe in retribution. At this moment, his heart was shaken, his feet felt a little weak, and he didn't dare to look at the beast in the house anymore.

Seeing the tyrant's unkind expression, the people in the palace who were afraid of being angered had already knelt on the ground.

Emperor Zheng Yang walked a few steps in a trance, and when he was about to walk out of the unnamed side hall, he realized his disrespect.

Calling out the obedient palace man, he said, "Zhen..."

The voice is extremely hoarse.

"I named this palace the Destiny Pavilion, and the... people in it, if there is any order, they will follow it immediately; if there is any change, report it to me as soon as possible."

……

The plaque of Tianming Pavilion was hung up very efficiently.

A group of palace people waited outside the door, waiting for the master of the house to dispatch.

However, this day until late at night, the house was silent.

In a room that cannot see through the light, a beast and a man cuddle up to each other.

The chest of the big lump on the ground rose and fell very weakly.

It didn't know when the temperature had dropped, and the body of the beast soaked in water was like a swollen steamed bun, soft, thick and fat, and because of the rapid growth, the skin was stretched out with slight cracks.

The chubby dragon's paws rested on Qiao Zhi's hands, and his weak head rested heavily on his knees.

Qiao Zhi opened his eyes, his body was stiff, like frozen ice.

The wet clothes dried by themselves, and the painful place was numb.

Only by listening to its breathing could he convince himself that the dragon was asleep.

Qiao Dandan is Qiao Zhi's only relative in this world.

It always pretends that it doesn't understand human words, wondering if it understands, it is important to him.

—— Qiao Dandan almost died.

Qiao Zhi hated himself for being weak and powerless, he was so scared.

Qiao Dandan has never seen Qiao Zhi cry...

When the eggshell shattered, Qiao Zhi cried, but he didn't see it.

This time his tears were dripping down, crying so sadly that it didn't see it.

Just kidding, will that little liar Qiao Zhi cry?It is more likely to hold back a few drops of fake tears in order to deceive people.

When you are with it, the little liar is always smiling. ——I laughed when I was beaten, I laughed when I had no money to eat, I bought sweets for it when I was hungry, and I watched it eat with crumbs, giggling non-stop.

I want to be a dragon sister all day long, thinking I can be something...Brother Qiao!It has accumulated a lot of cultivation, and if it wants to become a human being, it will see that he will cry one day in the future! !

—What a daydream!Dragons are male!male!

——Even if it's pink, you can't guess it by looking at the mighty figure of the dragon, so stupid! !

——The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is all for nothing!The bath is also for nothing!All the beatings were for nothing!Make Longzuan's pants blush!huh huh huh huh……

"Are you going to die?" He sniffed and poked the dragon's horns.

It is rarely quiet, and usually hates being touched by its horns, but it will not get up and flick its tail.

—What about the bad temper?

—Get up and hit me! !

Qiao Zhi bit his lower lip, his whole face wrinkled.

Suddenly, all the tight grievances could not be stretched anymore.

"You don't want to die, okay?" Unable to restrain himself, the boy let out a small cry.

He hugged it so tightly that it hurt a little. ——It was very difficult, but still did not break free from the heavy drowsiness.

"You are with me, you will be with me for a long, long time."

"Get well, you want to eat osmanthus cake, I'll make you an osmanthus cake; if you don't want to move, we'll live back."

Crystal tears dripped on its bald forehead, splashing transparent and colorless flowers.

"I will protect you with my life."

He said word by word, "I will definitely protect you."

In order to protect Qiao Dandan, he worked hard to become a great person.

As a generation of emperors, this is an original intention, especially not on the table.

But Joe's determination to fulfill his promise is strong.

Dragon, because of this promise, he was able to become a human being.
