Crown Prince

After being so peaceful for more than a month, Erlang came to play with dragon cubs from time to time after school, and he felt at ease.

Li Ying looked up at his father, who was still casually sitting on the curved railing of the porch, wearing white clothes which is rare.Zhan Xing's white clothes are completely different from Zhan Tong's. Zhan Tong's white clothes make people feel clean and flawless, as quiet and beautiful as white jade or a pure-colored lotus flower... But such an outfit of Yan Xing looks noble and indifferent, with deep lines on the side face and slightly black hair. The tapes flowed down like fine silk, forming a striking contrast with the white single clothes. He was leaning on the vermilion lacquer pillar in such a leisurely manner, and the wide sleeves fell softly along the side of his body, which made people look Those who follow him feel that everything in the world is mediocre, and their indifference makes perfect sense.

It is really rare to see such a person.

The Dragon Emperor seemed to be aware of his gaze, and slightly turned his head to look at him, his cold and penetrating pupils softened a little.He only needs to raise the corners of his lips slightly, and his whole body will be like spring flowers blooming after the cold winter, and his temperament will change.

Li Ying smirked unconsciously, with that chubby little head, he just felt so silly and so funny.

Nianxing turned his head quickly, but he didn't see any expression, but Erlang, who was sitting on the straw mat beside him, burst out laughing.He leaned over and poked the little chubby snake Li Ying lightly, and said in a low voice, "Do you also think the bachelor is an extremely handsome person?"

A certain cub was dissatisfied and thought, what the hell?How many people still spy on his father?

Erlang didn't realize it, and still gossiped with a smile: "I heard that Xiao Chaojiang from Xiaojun's mansion sneaked away from everyone the other day and gave the bachelor a picture of Zhang Xuan's ladies spending summer. Zhang Xuan, do you know? A painter who has only recently become famous …A few days ago, several favored ladies in the womb invited him to paint. I heard that the paintings of ladies are really good. Princess An Jing also asked him to paint, and they were secretly passed on among the princes and grandchildren..." He said in the academy He was considered young, Xiao Chaojiang and others who were following the teaching masters had already been in the academy for five or six years, so they were naturally older.

Li Ying raised her small head and stared at her younger brother.He really wanted to stretch out his paws and scratch Li Hengsheng's and Juniper's faces a few more times - it seems that he taught his precious brother to become a paparazzi-like figure, and he was gossiping every day when he came to see him these days .He stared at his father again, when did he accept things from people with ulterior motives?Xiao Chaojiang... He gave Father Long a small look angrily, that boy is really good-looking, his father won't change his appetite, right?I heard that this kind of food is popular in Chang'an now!

Erlang watched in puzzlement as the little chubby snake moved on the straw mat, with its tiny pink tail cocked up and down. pull.Nian Xing lowered his head, smiled slightly, and reached out to pick him up and put him in his arms.

Li Ying curled his tail into a big curl habitually, then looked up at him.Yan Xing looked at his watery black pupils for a moment, and said softly, "I took it, I just looked at it and threw it aside. It's not as good as what you gave me."

Zai Zai hurriedly flicked his tail shyly, feeling triumphant.The picture that Nian Xing mentioned is very strange, it is a picture drawn by Li Ying himself - he really went to the battle in person, rolled it into the paint, and then rolled it around on the drawing paper, he was gasping for breath from the hard work .

When Nian Xing got it, he was speechless for a while.If he hadn't gone to another world and gained some insight, he wouldn't have known that this kind of painting could have a name - Impressionism.

Erlang didn't hear what Yan Xing was saying, but saw the man with a nice smile on his face, talking to the little snake gently, with a low and pleasant voice.He looked at Li Yingtuan's tenderness in the man's clothes, and felt a little hot in his heart, as if the bright sun was shining outside for no reason.

It was the school's turn to close on this day, and Erlang had already been picked up by the carriage of the Duke's mansion, and Nian Xing was finally freed from the boring teaching and preaching, and was able to sleep with his son.

When Li Ying woke up, it was already noon. Although the Dragon Clan did not need to eat every day, he was still too young, and he was very hungry... The sun was very strong in the garden, but it was very cool inside the green gauze cupboard. The wind blowing in from outside the window fluttered gently, blowing him lazily and not thinking about it.

"...Nephew...the other day...that person escaped..." Faint voices of conversation came from the main hall.

Li Ying opened his eyes with interest, yawned and listened carefully, but was surprised to find that he couldn't hear clearly—this had never happened before, unless his father deliberately refused to let him listen.He sat up cross-legged excitedly, thought for a while, then rolled on the couch, and turned into a snow-white kitten the size of a palm.The kitten squinted its clear vertical pupils, raised its paws to look at the soft pink flesh pads, gave a satisfied mime, then jumped off the low couch briskly, and walked out.Although the master can't change into a human being for the time being, he can always change into a long-legged one, hehe.

The curtain separating the main hall was thick and drooping. The little white cat straightened its small back, pressed its head against it hard and hard, and finally rolled out with a thud, its whole body fell into a little fur ball.The conversation outside the house came to an abrupt end.

Li Ying rolled several times in a daze, bumped into something and stopped.He lay limp on the ground, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a big hand approaching with a strange fragrance of clothes, and gently scratched his chin, and then he continued to lift his hand down until his comfortable mimi screamed. Hold his soft belly and lift him up.

"The last time I saw my cousin, I still didn't recognize him," the young man said with a slight mockery, "Now I'm finally older."

"..." Dragon Emperor.

"..." Li Ying.

Li Ying's fur suddenly exploded, obviously mocking him for not being tall! !He scratched and pulled the four fluffy little claws, but his stomach was held up by this person and he couldn't move, so Mimi screamed angrily and looked up at the person who was holding him up, but she froze for a moment.

The young man in front of him was slender and dressed in dark red single clothes... This man's face was extremely profound and handsome. The strangest thing was that he was quite similar to Nianxing. Come the gloomy and solemn temperament.The biggest difference between him and Yan Xing is that pair of deep red pupils, when he stares at people, there is a cold and murderous air, which penetrates people very much.And his voice also evoked Li Ying's memories, it was too deep, it could almost give off a buzzing lingering sound, it made people's ears go soft when they heard it, it was a powerful tool to seduce people.

This person calls himself cousin, isn't that the son of his fourth uncle, the same as Pixiu?Li Ying finally understood what he meant to be sarcastic about himself just now. The last time... he probably didn't participate in the celebration when he crawled out of the egg last time, so it was when he was still Wang Dalang.That time when he went to study in the countryside, he saw his back as soon as he entered the city, and thought it was a mix-up, and a small encounter.Hmph, I've only heard that a nephew looks like an uncle, but I've never seen a nephew look like an uncle...

"Remember?" the young man said casually, and handed him to the Dragon Emperor.

Ran Xing frowned and looked at his son who was still in a daze, then stretched out his hand to scratch his chin.Li Ying hadn't come back to his senses yet, and there was a burst of sweet numbness that made Mimi scream... It's really weird, if he is a dragon, there should be reverse scales on his chin, don't talk about others, even if he encounters it himself, it won't be too bad Comfortable, why did the cat disappear after changing?

Just as he was thinking about it, his tail was pulled by a certain cousin in red, and his hair almost rolled off his father's hand immediately.He bared his baby teeth angrily, and stretched out his claws towards the man in red threateningly, come on, the reverse scales have grown to the tail...

"Jai Zi, don't mess with him." Yan Xing said lightly, with a bit of displeasure in his tone, and then pinched the back of his son's neck, "I told you, don't become such a pet." The baby flinched involuntarily, and turned back into a dragon cub in an instant.

The second son of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the future Dragon King Yazi, saw Li Ying's soft and small appearance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.He turned his gaze back and thought to himself, he didn't go to Dragon City last time, so he didn't know that there was a dragon cub who was younger than his younger brother.

very funny.

"Go ahead." Nian Xing pinched Li Ying's little tail, seeing that he had calmed down a bit, and then looked up at his nephew.

Yazi's face straightened, and he said: "A few days ago, my nephew saw the God of the Upper Realm on the Bohai Sea, and Ao Ze personally sent her out, and it seems that he got some orders from that person... The eldest brother and the third younger brother both sent people to the upper realm to inquire about it. , it’s just that the Nantian Gate is closed tightly, and the immortal generals of all the immortal mansions are tight-lipped, and they can’t find out what’s going on.” He paused for a moment, his face flashed with anger, and continued: “Until you, Uncle Huang, send people over and say see you.” Seeing him, my nephew only came to realize that since he has come out and the upper realm is keeping it a secret, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter."

Yan Xing's face was still pale, but his eyes were as cold as ice, frighteningly cold.

"continue."

Yazi said: "My nephew didn't go to the Upper Realm any more. He was inquiring in Chang'an City. He took Yuhua to Kunlun Mountain and went to Fengdu Mountain on the way to see Zhu Jiuyin."

"What did Zhu Jiuyin say?"

"Although Zhu Jiuyin is old, he is not confused. He doesn't want to get involved in the grievances between the upper realm and Longcheng, and he didn't hide it from my people... He said that he asked him about Nuwa, and asked him where the Kunshan Mirror is. No matter how much , but the old dragon refused to talk about it.”

Yan Xing was silent, Yutong narrowed slightly.Although Zhu Jiuyin is also from the lineage of the dragon clan, he has a human face and a dragon body, and his own vision is different from his usual way in Dragon City. It's just that Zhu Jiuyin has been underground for more than ten thousand years. Why is he only asking Nuwa now? thing?Although Zhu Jiuyin was the same as him, he and Nuwa were the ancient gods at the time of the creation of the world, but in terms of relationship, he and Nuwa were closer. What can that person ask Zhu Jiuyin?

There is also the Kunshan mirror... The Kunshan mirror is used to find people, and Nuwa is already dead, so why do you want that?

Yan Xing was thinking, his face getting colder.Seeing his father like this for the first time, Li Ying couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, "Where is Chong Li now?"

Yazi was a little surprised, and then said respectfully: "Chongli... is in Wuchi."

Nian Xing said coldly: "Wake him up, then find the Kunshan Mirror and bring it to me."

The dragon in red knelt down on one knee and replied in a deep voice.

"Minister, I will fulfill my mission."

Li Ying watched him turn around and stride away. The moment his figure touched the sunlight, he blended into it and disappeared.He turned his head to look at the Dragon Emperor, and saw him looking straight at the garden with deep eyes, as if he had passed through the flowers and plants in the garden, and saw something from a long time ago.That thing was not a beautiful thing, so he hated and regretted it, and it also carried a penetrating coldness.

"Ji—" He raised his paw and scratched Father Long's hand.

Yan Xing lowered his head, seeing Aiko's worried face, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Don't worry..." He carefully stroked the little curly hair on the top of his son's head, and murmured, "After so many years of enduring, why is it so short of time?"
