Ji Xiaqing did not give any response after all.

Xiaolong, who was hugging her waist tightly behind him, seemed a little annoyed, opened his lips, and bit the back of her neck lightly.

She suffered from the pain, but she also followed Xiaolong, breathing steadily and long through her nose.

Those white teeth gnawed on her skin, which seemed to have printed a few small marks.

It took a while for Long to let go, and his slender fingers caressed the place where he had bitten just now, with a nostalgic and guilty expression.

Ji Xiaqing controlled herself not to get goosebumps, feeling the warm and soft fingers stroking her neck.

It's very flirtatious.

After an unknown amount of time, the person behind her finally slowly fell asleep, and the iron-like palms were still tightly clasping her waist, preventing her from moving.

Ji Xiaqing turned over with difficulty and looked at the sleeping dragon.

To be on the safe side, she grabbed the sachet that was placed on the other side of the bed before, and put it under Xiaolong's nose, to make sure she would not wake up suddenly.When Su Bai fell into a sweeter sleep, Ji Xiaqing's expression became more complicated.

She stretched out her hand and caressed the eyebrows of the person in front of her tremblingly.

Exquisite nose bridge, deep yet soft eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, it may be because of the color of the eyes that they are always a little red.

She moved her hand down and caressed those moist and hot lips.

Very similar, especially when the dragon was young.

But she clearly knew that they were not the same dragon at all.

No one can walk against time, it's just a joke made for her by 1 years.

"It's not funny at all." She said softly, pressing her temples in distress.

Falling in love with a kid who has the same face as his fellow teacher and friend.

That test in her heart was actually a bit sad - that's why she always wanted to postpone the important moment of clarifying the relationship between the two of them.

It's a trivial reason.

"Does it have anything to do with this face?" she asked herself, "Why did I choose such a face?"

What frightened her even more was that she didn't realize that because of this identical face, would the relationship between herself and Xiaolong be a little impure.

His Majesty Qingdi is a very picky and particular person about love, otherwise he would not have been single for a long time in the past until now.

She couldn't bear that her feelings for the little guy had something else to do with it, like a similar face.

"I don't think I misunderstood you," she put the dragon's head into her arms and closed her eyes, "but I'm really afraid of being in a trance sometimes. I didn't realize it, but you did."

Xiaolong slept soundly and smacked his lips.

Ji Xiaqing laughed, looking at her delicate fair face and slightly parted red lips, his eyes dimmed.

She stretched out a finger, gently pressed Xiaolong's elastic lips, and pressed hard.

Moist and piping hot.

Xiaolong babbled dissatisfiedly, opened his lips, and sucked Ji Xiaqing's finger into it.

His Majesty Qingdi trembled all over, looking at the sleeping dragon in surprise and disbelief, his other free hand instantly grabbed the sachet and held it firmly under the dragon's nose.

Don't pretend to be asleep.

She prayed frantically.

The dragon seemed to have some difficulty breathing because his nose was blocked, his lips were wide open, and he breathed heavily, and the tip of his tongue moved unconsciously, curling around the stray finger.

The warm and scalding mouth, the slippery tip of the tongue.

The fingertips are extremely rich in nerves and are too sensitive.

Ji Xiaqing's face turned red, and he quickly withdrew his finger, smelled it with a little disgust, then wiped it on Xiaolong's pajamas, looked at Su Bai who was slightly furrowed between his brows, listened to the heartbeat, and repeatedly scratched his eyelids. After confirming that the dragon was really asleep, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You startled me." She muttered softly, looking at the sleeping dragon who let go of all vigilance, finally couldn't help smiling, and gently pressed her lips.

"Good night, Xiaobai."

-------------------------------------

Two days passed quickly, and Su Bai became more and more flustered. Every day, Ji Xiaqing watched the dragon pacing around the room, muttering.

"There are still fifteen hours." She walked back and forth, turned to look at her, with a sad face, "Master, I'm a little nervous."

Ji Xiaqing drank the low-quality tea in her opinion with distaste, while bobbing her head back and forth following Xiaolong's footsteps.

"Master~" Su Bai came over reluctantly, squatted on the ground, hugged her thigh, and cried, "I haven't slept well these few nights."

Ji Xiaqing sneered: Heh, I come to my room at one or two o'clock every day, and leave on time at 06:30 in the morning. When I'm huddled in a quilt, I always have to use my hands and feet to take advantage of it. It's no wonder that Long can sleep well up.

Every day, I have to quietly press the sachet under her nose before falling asleep with a creak.

She remembered again last night, the dragon that was so insatiable was caressing the butterfly bone on her back, all the way down, it swam across the beautiful and delicate back, slid to the waist, and slid back and forth restlessly, as if it wanted to go down to the peaks above her head walk around.

She gave a warning with a violent cough, but Longcai failed.

His Majesty Qingdi's ears were slightly red, and he drank tea to hide his uneasiness, and coughed lightly, "There are not many people, didn't you just invite your senior brother, Zhong Boyang and his teachers from the Department of Light, a few friends, and Shang Do you know any team members who can play this time?"

Of course, Ji Xiaqing was also one of them.

Yes, Long, who was all about making money before, actually didn't have many friends, not to mention that the rest of her peers were afraid of her identity and couldn't get close to her.

Xiaolong glanced at Ji Xiaqing's expression, quietly put his head on her lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered, "It's not a matter of the number of people, it's because of the strong sense of ritual." question."

"What's your itinerary for tomorrow?" Ji Xiaqing looked at the report sent on the terminal, "First, visit the Women's and Children's Hospital, then take an oath in front of the Ancestral Dragon Crystal Core, and then get a symbolic war robot control ring and conduct a small After the military parade, the tower owner will award the medals to the explorers, and finally visit the Dragon Tomb."

She curled her lips, "What's so nervous about it?"

Xiaolong's head rubbed against her thigh, breathing hot air from his mouth, and muttered, "It's not a women's and children's hospital, it's a dragon birth base." She corrected her, then raised her head, looking at Ji Xiaqing with big watery eyes , "The coming-of-age ceremony, all items represent the life and responsibilities of an adult dragon."

"The dragon birth base is the place where we came to this world, it is the pursuit of the dragon's personal will; the oath before the ancestor dragon crystal core is to let the dragon know the meaning of our coming to this world, it is the will of the race; the war robot ring and the exploration team The medal is the responsibility of all dragons, representing pioneering and loyalty; the last visit to the dragon tomb is to know where all the dragons belong.”

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I'm really nervous."

Ji Xiaqing couldn't help touching her soft hair, gently pinched her head with both hands, relieved her fatigue, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Hearing this, Xiaolong looked up at her, then raised his hand and took Ji Xiaqing's right hand.

His Majesty Qingdi was taken aback, and Long then pried open her fingers and interlocked with hers.

She smiled helplessly, so she pampered her and let her go.

"Master," Xiaolong's voice was a little dull because his head was buried on Ji Xiaqing's lap, "I know how to purify my mind."

Ji Xiaqing tightened her hand.

"But I don't want to use it yet." Long knelt on the ground, raised his head, his eyes were clear.

Ji Xiaqing understood what this clever little dragon meant, and couldn't help reaching out, clasped her chin and lifted it up slightly compulsively.

Xiaolong rejoiced at the rough behavior, and even smiled a little on the corner of his lips.

"Wait," she watched Master's cherry blossom-like lips slightly open and close, "You have been waiting for two months, can't you wait for a day?"

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he looked at the woman in front of him in surprise.

"Together with a gift." Ji Xiaqing let go of her chin, smiling calmly, but her neck was already pink.

Su Bai jumped up and started walking up and down again, but this time with an excited smile on his face.

Ji Xiaqing smiled and sat back on the soft sofa, took another sip of tea, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Good guy, now she's a little nervous too.

She forced herself to think of something else to relieve the nervousness and throbbing in her heart-such as the "symbolic war robot control ring".

She checked the information and found that it was indeed just a symbolic ring, so symbolic that it had to be returned to the Tower Master after participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.

This brass ring is also an old actor.

And every adult citizen can have a war robot that has been registered, can be controlled without a ring, and is forbidden to carry weapon modules in the Tower of Babel-this is how Feite came.

She pressed the center of her eyebrows slightly, thinking about all this, and then thought of the damaged ring buried in the soil.

There is always a connection.

Feite looked at the master walking around and the human being laying on the sofa with his brows pressed together, and shook the small camera.

"The behavior of the creatures is bewildering."

-------------------------------------

"No. [-] Qing, here is your place." Taiyi looked at the human beings who were dressed in formal attire and had a good conversation with Rommel and Manstein, who rarely took human form in reality, and beckoned her to come over.

Xiaolong had already been picked up for grooming and rehearsal, and she came to this place alone.This is a large square with a big brass arrow sculpture in front of it, with a large building at each end of the arrow.

That brass arrowhead is bigger than Manstein and Rommel put together.

Seeing Taiyi, Ji Xiaqing nodded slightly with Rommel and Manstein, walked to her side, looked at the blue phantom curiously, "Why are there only two of us here?"

Taiyi's cold voice seemed to carry a different emotion, "The official answer is that this is the exclusive area for souls or artificial intelligence."

Ji Xiaqing looked at the empty surroundings and pouted, "What about the unofficial answer?"

"You may have some questions, I will give you answers, and these answers are not suitable for others to hear," Taiyi nodded at her and led her to sit down.

"It's Zulong Square, but I think it's more like an arena," Ji Xiaqing looked at the terrain that resembled a gymnasium arena, complained, and pointed to the flat ground below, "I always feel that there will be someone waiting here fight."

Taiyi laughed, "The design at that time was just for watching the ceremony."

She patiently pointed to the flat ground in the distance, "The Ancestral Dragon Crystal Core is enshrined at the bottom of this place. The platform will rise when the time comes."

Ji Xiaqing nodded to show that he understood, and pointed to the huge brass arrow sculpture behind him, "What does that mean?"

To be honest, even though everything is huge to a certain extent, this arrow still makes her laugh a little bit.

"The road where the arrow comes from is called the 'past'," Taiyi explained in a low voice for her, "the road that the arrow points to is called the 'future'."

Ji Xiaqing understood in seconds, "The building on 'Past' is the birth base of the Dragon Clan, and the building on 'Future' is the Dragon Tomb."

Taiyi nodded in affirmation, "There will be a live broadcast later, we don't need to go to those two places, just watch here, but generally speaking, all dragons will go to the Dragon Tomb. So if you are strict, everyone I will not go to a birth base."

"What if I want to go to see it?" Ji Xiaqing had a faint smile on his face.

"That's why we sit alone," Taiyi shrugged, "If you really want to go, I can accompany you."

His Majesty Qingdi curled his lips, turned his head away not to look at Taiyi, and muttered: "I still have a small question, why is there no god in your grand coming-of-age ceremony?"

In a theocratic society, there is no god in a grand ceremony?Some sarcasm.

"The god has already appeared," Taiyi shook his head, pointing to the flat ground in front of him, "the ancestral dragon crystal nucleus was taken out with the help of the god, and the aura of the god is imprinted on it."

Ji Xiaqing nodded with a vague understanding, a question suddenly slipped through his mind.

"Wait..." She blurted out, sensing something was wrong.

But at this time the solemn bell rang, Taiyi quickly interrupted her.

"Stand up and be quiet."

Ji Xiaqing understood that this was the battle song of the Dragon Clan.

Although it is sad, it means that the struggle and exploration of the dragon clan and the extremely strange have never stopped.

Sad music sounded, and everyone lowered their heads slightly.

Ji Xiaqing also lowered his head, but his eyes flicked around, looking at everything around him.

Manstein was pious, but Rommel seemed to be restless, too.

Zhong Boyang and Manstein were almost sitting diagonally again.As soon as the short little old man lowered his head, he was completely submerged in the crowd, if Ji Xiaqing hadn't found it after searching carefully for a while.

Years of combat instinct told her that she was also being followed by a gaze.

Are there any people in the dragon clan who don't pay respects solemnly?The hairs on Ji Xiaqing's back stood up like thorns on his back.

That gaze was still full of malice and doubt, but it was quickly swept away.

The solemn time was very short, but it ended in just over a minute.Everyone sat down, and Taiyi's voice without emotion came, "What did you want to ask just now?"

Ji Xiaqing frowned slightly, looking for where the gaze might have come from just now, and asked softly, "Now I have a new question."

"You say."

"There are only people invited by Xiaobai right now." Ji Xiaqing scanned the familiar faces.

"There are also security personnel, all of whom are confidantes of the tower owner." Taiyi told the truth.

Ji Xiaqing tapped his fingers on the chair, and asked thoughtfully, "Who is arranging the security personnel? Don't tell me it's Rommel."

Taiyi shook his head blankly, "It's Manstein."

Ji Xiaqing frowned fiercely.

"The first link is about to begin," Taiyi looked at Ji Xiaqing who was frowning, and whispered, "Dragon Clan Fertility Base, would you like to visit the site?"

Ji Xiaqing withdrew his gaze, nodded, moved his fingers slightly, and a faint talisman attached to Manstein's body.

She thought for a while, and the second talisman flew towards Rommel again.

It's just a simple small mark, which can detect the change of the two people's positions.

With her mind divided, she quickly followed Taiyi to the large building on the left side of the square.

Other people in the square watched the real-time projection on the giant screen, but Rommel turned his attention to the place where Ji Xiaqing and Taiyi were sitting.

people left?

He frowned instantly, playing with a brass ring in his hand, the ring was covered with sweat.

-------------------------------------

"This is the blind spot of the camera, but the angle is not bad." Taiyi led Ji Xiaqing to the inside of the large building, with a faint smile on his face, "There is Su Bai."

Ji Xiaqing saw Xiaolong at a glance.

It wasn't a skirt or an evening gown like a formal suit, but a team uniform of the exploration team - Ji Xiaqing preferred to call it a military uniform.

Or military uniform.

"It looks quite handsome." She admired Xiaolong's upright figure.

Su Bai seemed to be aware of her gaze, turned his head, and saw Taiyi and Ji Xiaqing standing side by side, with a silly smile on his face instantly, neutralizing the heavy and solemn temperament brought by the military uniform.

Ji Xiaqing waved his hand, then glared at her, put his hands in the seam of his trousers and patted hard, signaling her to stand still.

Xiaolong hastily stood up straighter, showing off a little in his eyes.

Ji Xiaqing laughed, and then admired the military uniform on Su Bai.

A straight and docile black matte large lapel military uniform, slim military trousers and leather boots, a black cloak that seems to be the same type of material as velvet is tied around her neckline, and the inside of the cloak is scarlet lining, which seems to be embroidered with some pattern.

"It's just handsome," Taiyi whispered beside her. "It takes half an hour to memorize the meaning and symbol of the buttons, and half an hour to train how to tie them. Look at the ribbon, there are different colors and types of ribbons." different meanings..."

Ji Xiaqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There are also many small accessories with symbolic meanings, such as the Zulong and Furnace printed on the coat cufflinks and shirt cufflinks respectively, the feather next to the military boots must be upright and straight, and the metal coat of arms on the belt will change with seniority And put on different patterns, etc., including the saber and repeated accessories, there are about 93 accessories, and the entire military uniform weighs about [-] kilograms without the saber.”

His Majesty the Qing Emperor was dumbfounded.

Before the ceremony started, Su Bai looked left and right, raised his hand slightly, and fiddled with the neckline, as if he was uncomfortable.

"Is the collar too tight?" Ji Xiaqing subconsciously frowned and touched his own neckline.

"It's probably just that Xiaobai is not used to having two blades on the collar." Taiyi shook his head.

"Blade...?" Ji Xiaqing froze his hands, subconsciously protecting his throat.

"Normal team uniforms don't have this symbolic decoration," Taiyi looked far away. "Probably all dragons will only have this once in their lifetime. If Xiaobai can become the tower master, there should be a second time."

Ji Xiaqing looked at her.

"These two blades on the throats of all dragons have three meanings."

"The Dragon Clan is just a safe place to live in the Tower of Babel. The vast world outside is full of dangers and treachery, so we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace;

The comfort of the dragon family is nothing but the thin flannelette of the shirt, the sharpness is hanging above the throat, and it needs careful thinking and action;

Of course, if one day the team members encounter danger, this is also the last weapon: it can stab their own aorta, or stab the enemy. "

After Taiyi finished speaking quietly, he looked at Ji Xiaqing who was staring at him, "What do you think?"

"Who designed this military uniform?" Ji Xiaqing turned around and asked a question that Taiyi hadn't expected, "Fifth Execution?"

Taiyi nodded hesitantly.

"Let me just say," Ji Xiaqing turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "It always looks like the style of Germany and Italy."

Taiyi didn't listen to this sentence, "What did you say?"

Ji Xiaqing shrugged, and changed the topic casually, "Fortunately, Rommel was not involved in the design of the military uniform, otherwise he could have made it all pink."

"Rommel wasn't always fond of pink, either."

When Ji Xiaqing heard these words, something moved in his heart, and he looked at Taiyi beside him.

Taiyi didn't say anything, and pointed to his eyes, "It's about to start."

Ji Xiaqing had no choice but to look at the person in front of him.

Su Bai took a standard military step, with his hand on his saber, and walked up to the old man who was also wearing a full military uniform. He was half a step behind, and the two walked into the first floor from the hall together.

"The building is divided into three floors. The first floor is the embryo breeding area of ​​the Dragon Race." Taiyi led Ji Xiaqing to follow, floating in the air in the blind spot of the camera, pointing to a few blue-green frosted canned objects, "This Inside are the embryos."

Ji Xiaqing saw that Xiaolong and the old tower owner had gone away and floated past, frowning at the jar-shaped object filled with thick blue-green liquid.

There was a dark shadow inside, but it was not very clear.

Ji Xiaqing took two steps back and looked around.

The entire floor was empty, but it was filled with these "jars" about two meters high and one meter in diameter, and only a few of these jars contained blue-green liquid.

She flew to a jar with no blue-green liquid, squinted her eyes, and seemed to see the general structure inside through the frosted glass.

There is a strap.

"What is this?" She took two steps back and turned to look at Taiyi.

"You can understand it as... dragon eggs." Taiyi considered his words, "Dragon people are no longer able to conceive naturally, so this method is adopted. The birth base will extract the genetic material of both partners and cultivate it in this way."

"The nutrient solution inside is also a replica made by simulating the situation in the dragon egg, trying to make the embryo grow in a situation similar to the natural environment." Taiyi added.

Ji Xiaqing flew to the jar filled with blue-green culture fluid again, squinted her eyes, and cast a talisman instantly in her hand, and a ball of light as bright as a powerful flashlight appeared in her hand, sticking to the matte material on the shell.

The thick blue-green liquid was illuminated, and the creatures curled up and sleeping inside could barely be seen clearly.

In the next second, her hand was knocked off by Tai Yi.

The artificial intelligence even showed a kind of anger and eagerness, growling in a low voice, "You can't do this."

Ji Xiaqing frowned, realizing that he seemed to have gotten into trouble, and asked, "Why?"

Taiyi stared at her, and said softly, "Dragon eggs need a relatively dark environment, and the requirements for light are relatively high. You may have stimulated the embryo inside just now."

She floated down while talking, controlling the console of the tank and pressing a button.

The light turns from green to red.

Ji Xiaqing looked into the jar, and suddenly there were layers of ripples in the nutrient solution.

The embryo inside seemed to move a bit, or maybe it was crying.

Taiyi quickly manipulated the console, the ripples slowly stopped, and the indicator light also jumped from red to green.

"How is it?" Ji Xiaqing flew down, with a bit of guilt in his words.

"I did a scan just now," Taiyi said with a blank expression, "Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Ji Xiaqing considered his words, "If... I said just in case, what could go wrong?"

Taiyi glanced at her, "Maybe it's a lifelong sensitivity to light and can't appear under strong light; it may also be congenitally stupid, with intellectual problems; or it may be disabled and hypoplastic, and I don't know the specifics." , after all, anything is possible.”

Ji Xiaqing seemed a little at a loss, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Taiyi turned around silently, and continued to walk forward, "Don't touch things blindly, just ask me if you have anything to do." She paused, and continued, "If something really happened, don't apologize to me, to that Apologize to a partner who has been waiting for more than ten years."

"I will compensate." Ji Xiaqing tried to admit his mistake and express his attitude.

"You think compensation is enough?" Taiyi's words were a bit sarcasm, "They will lose their children."

Ji Xiaqing stopped in his tracks, his eyes were cold and surprised, "What do you mean?"

Taiyi also stopped, turned his head to look at her, and said word by word, "You also know that there is a shortage of resources in the Tower of Babel."

"So, the Dragon Clan will not allow defective young dragons to be born."

Ji Xiaqing silently clenched his fists.

"What will happen to those defective embryos?"

"Destroy." Taiyi said indifferently, turned his head and left.

Ji Xiaqing took a few deep breaths, followed quickly, and nodded silently.

Just walking around the corner, she looked back at the jar just now, her eyes were dark.

At that moment, she couldn't see the embryo inside clearly, so she could only estimate a size.

Not like reptiles or amphibians, at least not the size of a juvenile dragon.

Instead, like mammals.

Taiyi, what are you preventing yourself from knowing?

She thought of the strange situation of the dragon's human body and dragon body again, and shook her head, always feeling that her guess was too terrifying.

Humans, maybe in another form?Symbiosis with the Dragon Clan?

"Turn the corner and go upstairs, the above is also the place where the embryo is bred." Taiyi led Ji Xiaqing up the stairs expressionlessly.

"This is different from just now." His Majesty Qingdi muttered to himself.

If there are dense jars at the bottom, there is only one huge jar on the top, and under the jar is a circular formation with complex golden rune inscriptions.

Taiyi calmly explained, "The bottom layer is for cultivating the human body, and this layer is for cultivating the dragon body." Finally, a smile appeared on her face, "You don't think the bottom is so big that you can hold a dragon body." Dragon cubs."

Ji Xiaqing's eyes widened in shock, "Impossible."

Words spit out from her mouth like machine gun bullets, "The dragon body and human body you said can't appear at the same time, now the dragon body and human body can appear at the same time? Cultivate the human body at the bottom and cultivate the dragon body at the top? Is the gestation cycle of the body and the human body the same? Which body does the soul go to? Which of the two bodies goes to that mysterious space?"

Her guess just now was basically useless.

"Stop, stop," Taiyi awkwardly prevented Ji Xiaqing from asking questions like a cannonball, "One question at a time."

"First of all, a human body and a dragon body cannot appear at the same time." She looked seriously at Su Bai, who was standing solemnly in the distance under the huge golden formation, "When the human body is basically mature, we will bring it to this training center." jar, and pray."

"pray?"

"Yes, pray, the gods will hear our prayers, the human body slowly disappears in the cultivation tank, and then the dragon body is gradually born. The embryonic maturation cycle of the human body is the same as that of a human being, which is about 9 months, while the dragon body takes three years .”

"Where did that human body go?" Ji Xiaqing asked.

"The promised land, the final place, call it whatever you like, anyway, it refers to that mysterious space that we haven't discovered yet." Taiyi looked at the tower master and Su Bai who were about to leave after the salute, and hurried forward Go, say something in the old man's ear.

The old man thought for a while, nodded, and led Su Bai to the glass room on the far right.

Taiyi flew back and explained to Ji Xiaqing, "It just so happens that a young dragon is about to break its shell. We estimate that it will be now, with an error of about 20 minutes. You can wait."

She also led Ji Xiaqing to the glass room on the far right, where there were countless experimental instruments that were shining brightly, "Just wait here."

The two stood at the farthest place from Su Bai and the tower master. The tower master nodded slightly at Ji Xiaqing, while Xiaolong even raised the corners of his lips, wanting to wave his hand.

Ji Xiaqing nodded towards the old man, then glared at the overly excited Su Bai.

Not long after, two more people walked into the opposite glass house, two men.

"This is the fathers of the young dragon that is being raised," Taiyi explained to her, "According to the regulations, they can watch the whole process of the young dragon breaking its shell, and they can get the first sight of the young dragon when it opens its eyes." power."

She pressed a button on the console, and soon the light in the glass room where the four of them lived was slightly dimmed.

"I changed it to one-way glass, which prevents the young dragon from seeing us at the first sight." Taiyi explained.

Soon, the blue-green nutrient solution burst into countless bubbles, as if it was boiling instantly!

Then, there was a huge knocking sound inside the tank, each sound getting stronger and stronger, and the frosted tank wall suddenly cracked several radioactive cracks!

A young cyan paw slammed open the jar, and the nutrient solution rushed out, and then a young dragon poked its head out, its eyes still a little dazed and shy.

His front paws grabbed the edge of the shattered jar, and his back paws flailed vigorously in the air. The crack gradually grew wider, and countless pieces fell down.

Finally, the whole soaked baby dragon got out of the jar and inspected the space curiously.

Taiyi patted the shoulder of His Majesty Qingdi who was in a trance, "Let's go, leave this place to the new family."

Ji Xiaqing nodded and looked to the other side of the glass house.

The tower owner, the old man, and Su Bai had also left.

"Is that a wind dragon?" she asked Taiyi.

"Yes, a cute little guy." Taiyi had a smile on his face, "We reproduced the situation of the dragon clan breaking out of its shell in the natural state. After all, this is the dragon clan's original desire for life."

Ji Xiaqing nodded, "Very good."

There was a young dragon whimpering childishly from behind, Ji Xiaqing smiled and followed Taiyi.

The whimpering sound continued, Ji Xiaqing suddenly stopped and looked behind.

Two men in sterile suits were carefully touching the dragon cub's head.

Taiyi looked at her curiously, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaqing's eyes were solemn, "I seem to have heard the young dragon call Dad?"

"That's it?" Taiyi laughed, "Dragon people have already begun to develop wisdom when they were still embryos, and this is just pediatrics."

She grabbed Ji Xiaqing's wrist and urged her to go quickly, "A deer can run from birth, a pony can stand from birth, dragons are intelligent creatures, can't they do this?"

Ji Xiaqing scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

"Let's go, the swearing-in ceremony in the square is about to start, and the ancestral dragon crystal nucleus should have risen."

When Ji Xiaqing heard the words, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly followed Taiyi back to the square.

They floated fast and came to the square one step ahead of the tower owner, the old man and Su Bai.The two sat down at their viewing seats and looked at the two who were walking not far away.

The black cloak fluttered in the wind, revealing the scarlet lining inside.

This time Ji Xiaqing saw it clearly, there was a dragon embroidered with gold thread on the scarlet lining.

Although it's hard to see clearly from too far away, and although the image of this dragon has always undergone some artistic processing in the long river of history, Ji Xiaqing can still see her identity at a glance.

My old friend, perhaps Xiaobai's direct ancestor, was honored by the Dragon Clan as the ancestor of the ancestor dragon, the final giant beast.

The tip of her nose was slightly sour.

The dragon birth base was not far from the square. As Su Bai and the old pagoda master entered the open space on the square with military steps, the bugle sounded again.

Only this time it was the high-spirited charge.

The flat ground on the square slowly cracked open, and a platform enshrining the ancestor dragon crystal core slowly rose into the sky.

Everyone on the viewing platform stood up again, paying tribute to the crystal nucleus of the proto-dragon.

"Not every dragon has a crystal nucleus, or to put it another way: every dragon's dragon body has a crystal nucleus, but there are only very, very few dragons. Their crystal nucleus is taken out by the gods and enshrined as heroes." Taiyi whispered next to Ji Xiaqing, "Zulong is one of them, and the one who deserves the most."

"Haven't you guys tried dissecting the dragon's body to get the crystal nucleus?" Ji Xiaqing looked at Taiyi.

"The official statement is that it disrespects the warriors. We don't know yet if the dragon's body is dead, is there any possibility for the human body in the Promised Land to survive?" Taiyi explained earnestly, "The other way is the truth of the matter." The truth is: we don't have the technology to dissect a dragon."

Ji Xiaqing looked shocked, "Isn't it enough to use a knife to cut and pull a few times?"

Taiyi shook his head, "No, the dragon's body contains a lot of energy, and it may even explode if you scratch it with a knife."

His Majesty Qingdi looked confused, "Like a bomb?"

"It's more powerful than bombs." Taiyi nodded honestly.

Ji Xiaqing shook his head to express his disbelief, but he didn't say much. Instead, he turned his attention to the crystal nucleus on the platform.

It shines brightly in the sun.

Ji Xiaqing touched the corners of his eyes.

She thought she was going to cry.

But looking at this strange but familiar thing, her heart was surprisingly calm, without any throbbing, and even dared to complain——

"This thing, hey, Taiyi, look, it really looks like a coffin."

The crystal is narrow and regular, with a round front and a square back, forming an irregular cuboid as a whole.

Anyway, the cube that Ji Xiaqing slept in was more like a coffin.

The corners of Taiyi's lips twitched, sighed, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Your Majesty Qingdi, aren't you close friends with Zulong? Shouldn't you show some proper respect to your friend, uh?"

Ji Xiaqing shook his head, "I thought I would be very excited, but actually I'm not."
