Crown Prince

No matter how regretful the shopkeeper of the rice shop is, the father and son of the Dragon Emperor have already gone away.

The rice store was at the east end of the long street in front of them. When they came out, they saw a tall stone building like an archway, with a plaque hanging on it, and the word "North Street" was particularly distinctive.Li Ying turned his head to look in the direction of the upper city, and this street was indeed facing the cliff in front of Xuanyuan Hall.That is to say, the distribution of Sifang Street is centered on the main hall of Xuanyuan Hall, the front and back streets are North Street and South Street, and the left and right are East Street and West Street.Nian Xing led him to the center of North Street, and the surrounding area became more and more lively.

The first feeling is cleanliness.The streets of North Street are paved with soft sea sand and inlaid with round cobblestones. Because they are quite flat, Li Ying hardly felt his feet hurt when he walked on them.Standing on the North Street and looking up, you can see the deep blue sea water, but the sky light still penetrates through the deep sea water strangely. Looking forward, it is a straight street about ten meters wide with no end in sight.Ignoring the endless crowds, the shops on both sides are also neatly arranged.Although it was not as wide as Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City, Li Ying felt that his field of vision had expanded suddenly.

The second feeling is bright.This point is basically similar to the general background of this world. The Tang Dynasty was originally a flamboyant and flamboyant dynasty, so that in such a deep abyss, the cities built continued its style.Because of height restrictions, Li Ying saw colorful wine flags, amber tea flags floating outside various shops, and white steam from steamed pasta from restaurants... Pedestrians on the road were wearing soft various clothes. Most of the women wear pomegranate skirts, and many people wear red top and green shirts. He even saw a bearded woman leaning against the window sill on the second floor of the restaurant, with deep orange waves and tangled hair. Strings of shells and rice beads.But Li Ying was quite skeptical, after all, the Sea Clan has hair and eyes of all colors.

It's just that she is indeed wearing a more revealing Hu suit, and she is more similar in dressing.

"Father!" So he grabbed Father Long and refused to leave, pointing at the woman with his short fingers: "Look, is that a singer? Why does she look like a bearded girl?!"

Nian Xing stopped and took a look indifferently, the woman keenly noticed the eyes of the father and son in the crowd, and couldn't help but send a provocative smile to Nian Xing.

"Father! She's molesting you!" A certain boy sighed, "How cowardly! Any woman who has ever molested you will never end well..."

Mixing: "..."

Long Tuanzi was extremely excited, and a long-lost enthusiasm for shopping and fighting was rekindled.He was wearing a small fancy dress, and looked around with a little belly moved.Men and women are either together or alone, or walking or riding... fish, and even a carriage made of sea mussels is pulled by two dolphins and swims past, causing him to turn his head and look at it all the time, his small appearance is extremely envious.

Li Ying also noticed that some sea people basically look the same as humans, others have fin-like ears, or eyes that are wide open like dead fish eyes, or have turtle shells or clam shells on their backs, especially What excited him was that he saw a silver-blue fish tail passing by in the gap between the crowd, and he was sure that it was a merman, because there was a gorgeous veil skirt on the fish tail.

What he feels standing here is that the master has finally changed from the Zhi'er who is so high above the world... to Dong Yong's family! ==

"First, you misunderstood your identity," said Xing Heixian, "Second, you misunderstood your gender... Dad can't remember when he gave birth to a daughter."

Li Ying pinched Papa Long's thumb, and looked up at him with piercing eyes.

Health... What a god, it's really rotten!In fact, the old men can study the boys and girls. In this case, the Dragon Clan will not be in danger of extinction!Li Ying's small eyes flickered for a moment, without a stepmother, his father could still give birth to younger sisters for him, dozens of younger sisters!

A certain cub: "..."

But the girl who looks like his father...

just forget it.

= V =

Just as Nian Xing was about to lead his son to continue walking, he felt his thumb being pinched and pinched by a soft little claw. He looked down at his son...and found that the other party was obviously distracted, and his little face was flushed Yes, I can't help but become suspicious.

However, he didn't plan to delve into it. In the past, Li Ying's body was still a human being, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it like entering a land without people, so naturally it would not hinder Li Ying.But it is different now, an adult dragon's spiritual consciousness interferes too much with the young dragon, which will only hinder the growth of the young dragon.This precious son of his, even if he was reincarnated as an adult for countless times, he was still comparable to Pixiu when he was childish... What Nianxing was worried about was his son's weird divergent thinking, who might one day bring him disaster .

He wrapped his son's little paw into his palm with his backhand, and then Li Ying came back to his senses.

"Father! I want to eat that deep-fried starfish!!" He tugged at Nianxing's sleeve to signal, his small appearance eager to try.

Ran Xing frowned and looked, there was a restaurant on the right, and the aroma of pearl algae oil was wafting.A sea tribe is frying all kinds of small fish in a huge clam shell oil pan, and there are plates of fresh seafood on the table next to it, including fresh starfish.While making snacks with quick hands and feet, he was still yelling loudly.Many Sea Clans led their children to float over to probe.

"You can't eat too much fried food." He hesitated.Pearl algae is rare, but those little fish, starfish and squid don't know if it's clean or not...

Li Ying screamed anxiously.He doesn't know how long he hasn't eaten fried food, it's so delicious——

Nian Xing looked down at his son, the little thing was circling around his thigh, the little bell on his head was ringing, like a puppy eager to go for a walk.

"Okay..." He reluctantly agreed, "Then eat a bunch..." Before he finished speaking, his son's small figure jumped into the crowded crowd.

Mixing: "..."

Pearl algae can be regarded as a kind of oil-producing seaweed with relatively high nutritional value and delicious taste, and it is only in places a few kilometers away from Longcheng that sharks appear.Under normal circumstances, basically only the residents of Zhongcheng can eat this kind of oil, because only Longchengwei can harvest the pearl algae safely... The oil used in the upper city is further refined from the pearl algae oil.

I'm afraid this restaurant has spent all its money, and it can collect seaweed in shark-infested places, and use it as a selling point.Li Ying used the brute strength he used to grab the limited-time specials in the supermarket to squeeze into the innermost place, and he saw that the restaurants were also overcrowded.

"Two fried starfish, two fried small fish, one squid skewer, no spicy pepper, salt and pepper, and your sauce, remember to spread it evenly!"

The Sea Clan who was in charge of fried skewers at the restaurant heard the soft and tender voice of a child coming out of nowhere, so he looked up.In the innermost circle, many Hai people with their children also looked down the middle, and saw a chubby man in a Chinese dress, trying to use his little feet to look at the food on the table, with white and tender fat paws Pulling the edge of the table, Xuerun looks cute.

'It's a little dragon—'

'...a cub of the Dragon Clan! '

'I don't know which one it belongs to...'

There are not many opportunities to watch the Dragon Clan in the lower city on weekdays, especially such a pink and delicate one.Some children of the Hai tribe looked at the money in Li Ying's hand enviously. The little girls only noticed the wreath around his neck and the delicate golden bells wrapped around his hair. The older ones felt that he was really handsome. She was cute and pretty, so she squeezed close to him.

Li Ying didn't notice this, he asked the price carefully, and decided to add another bunch of clams.The currency circulation in Dragon City is divided into two forms, one is ordinary, translucent coins made of some kind of mud on the seabed, very similar to Kaiyuan Tongbao.The circulation of this kind of coin is in the hands of the Dragon Emperor, and only the specialized dragon clan can use spiritual power to make coins, and the mining area of ​​that kind of soil is also protected by the Dragon City Guard.There is another form, which is the relatively ancient barter. Relatively speaking, both the upper world and the underworld are accustomed to using this method.

Cultivated races themselves are more inclined to exchange high-grade spirit stones or other spiritual objects with each other.

Li Ying was fully prepared for this trip.Not only did he bring ordinary crystal coins, but he also brought a handful of medium-grade spirit stones. If the money is not enough, he can go to a special shop to exchange coins with spirit stones.

Nian Xing stood outside the crowd with his hands behind his back, although he couldn't see his baby, but that kind of lively little dragon spirit kept jumping around inside.After a while, the little thing rushed out holding a few skewers of food in each of his left and right hands, his face was flushed, and his small eyes were watery.

"Father, fried starfish, fried small fish, fried squid rings, fried clams, which one do you want to eat first?" Li Ying asked Father Long panting.He himself is very hesitant, but his mouth is too small so he can only try everything...

His Majesty the Dragon Emperor really didn't know what to say.Why didn't he see that his son was a foodie?Think about it carefully, since the little things came back, the favorite thing to study every day is eating.

"Father... don't eat it, I'll hold it for you." He leaned over and took the two handfuls of fried skewers tightly held by a certain boy, and then handed out two skewers to him, "Eat these two skewers first. "

Li Ying was very happy, eating one after another.Oh, the taste of the starfish is really weird, but the inside is as soft as bean cake... Mmm, the little fish is okay... Oh, the clams are so fresh, but they are fried too much and the meat is almost gone...

He ate until his mouth was full of oil, and from time to time he handed the bottom one to Father Long, because the last one was inconvenient to eat...——

The so-called want to sleep when you are full, although Li Ying stretched out his hand to hug, but a certain father firmly refused.

"You'll overdo it when you sleep," Nian Xing squatted down and gently rubbed a certain cub's bulging stomach: "Tomorrow is going to school, and the next time I come out to play will be ten days later, have you figured it out?" Qing Before Lan returned, he had no intention of telling his son about his new decision.

"Okay," Li Ying yawned, "I'll digest." He suddenly remembered that he wanted to go to the shops selling gadgets when he came out today.

"Let's go to that... grocery store and antique shop." He hugged Father Long's neck and rubbed.

There was a slight smile in Yan Xing's eyes, but he didn't expose his son's little plan.He let his little thing act coquettishly for a while, then pulled his little arm off, stood up firmly and led him forward.

"Walk and digest obediently, and Dad will buy you something." Father Long said slowly.

Li Ying's little plan was shattered, so he could only walk with difficulty.Too much to eat... burp.As he walked, he looked at the shops on both sides and saw a lot of restaurants, but now he was full, so he had to give up.

The first place Nian Xing took him into was a store called Lanjia Miscellaneous Work.Originally, in Li Ying's impression, grocery stores usually only sell miscellaneous daily necessities, seasonings, and small foods without QS marks, such as spicy strips and the like.But since returning to Dragon City, his world view has been refreshed.It turns out that those cultivators often go not to antique shops or spirit stone exchanges, but to go shopping in various grocery stores.I heard that someone even found a fire-attribute dragon pill in a grocery store in such-and-such a place before.

Li Ying couldn't help but mourn for the Dragon Cell for a few seconds, he couldn't rest in peace even after he died.

Terrible practitioners, terrible grocery stores.

With the flags waving all over the street, this grocery store is particularly abrupt squeezed between two wine shops, but it is so old that it does not attract the interest of others to go in and take a look.Generally speaking, although the layout of Dragon City is not like the chessboard layout of Chang'an City, the layout of the shops on Long Street is also clear. Generally, restaurants are in one place, and so are wine shops. It is really strange that this grocery store is chosen here.

Buildings made entirely of wood and without decoration might not be liked by people in the Tang Dynasty, but Li Ying liked the old-fashioned taste.Once inside, there were no customers in the store, so it was very quiet.Li Ying let go of Father Long's hand and turned around. The small storefront was surrounded by bookshelves that reached to the roof. Rows of old books gave off a mild musty smell, but they were still tidy.But I didn't see any cherished "groceries".

The shopkeeper turned out to be a male merman, wearing a man's robe on his upper body, with only a dress similar to a skirt underneath, with his tail fin slightly exposed.The merman looked up and saw Nian Xing, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down what he was doing and walked out of the counter.

"I don't know that the emperor is coming, and the little people are far away to welcome him!" He bent down low, but his tail was hindered and he couldn't kneel down to salute.

With a palm in his hand, the shark got up immediately.

"Lan Yu, you and I have known each other for many years, why do you have to do this?" Nian Xingdan said: "I just took Li Ying out for a stroll today."

The merman named Lan Yu followed the Dragon Emperor's gentle gaze and saw the chubby, white and soft little guy.The clever and cute appearance, the lively and vigorous dragon spirit, and the freshness in the dark eyes all show that this dragon son is unusual.Healthy and wise, nothing could be better for a child.

He said softly, "The prince is fine."

Nian Xing finally smiled, looking at his son with expectation and love in his eyes.At this moment, like any parent in the world, he is sincerely happy when others praise his child.

"Father, why are there only books here?" Li Ying randomly flipped through the books, seeing that there were some obscure ancient characters on them, and returned to Nian Xing in a bored manner.

Mixed up but laughed silently.

Lan Yu looked at the Dragon Emperor, then bent down and smiled at the young prince: "I won't put anything other than books here..." Seeing the eyes of the little prince brighten up, he felt extremely cute, so he suppressed his smile and continued. Said: "Prince, would you like to follow Xiaomin to have a look inside?"

Li Ying looked up at his own father very consciously.
