The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Li Chen doesn't dare to boast about Haikou, but he is still very confident in his role as a "sticky man".

So after his slightly exaggerated acting skills, the thinking of the ten elders collectively went astray.

"Patriarch, you are..." The elders carefully considered the wording and asked, "Are you planning not to get married in the future?"

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Elder ten also: "Huh?"

Then they realized that they had misunderstood a bit: "Didn't you simply adopt one and raise him as an heir because you didn't want to marry?"

"Little friend, I will train him well, but heirs are another matter. I adopted him, not for any inheritance." Saenz said, "I said earlier that I have no obsession with this position. Of."

"...Well, let's talk about this topic." The elders said, "It seems that Li Chen really likes you very much, and we have no other opinions. The only point is that since you are willing to raise him, you must be mentally prepared Raising a cub is not just about giving him food and drink, just look at other cubs..."

"You have already said these words just now, and I have also responded, so there is no need to repeat them." Saenz said, "Since everyone has no objections, the ceremony can be officially held. You have been notified before to prepare, and it should be possible as soon as possible." hold?"

"No matter how fast it is, it's impossible to do it for you now..." the elders said, "But we can start the announcement today, and the official ceremony will be held in seven days."

Saenz: "Then start publicizing."

"What are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is robbing you..." The elders paused, and then said, "Oh, that's not right, there are still some dragons who like to take care of children, and we can't have an orphan in hundreds of years..."

"Don't say such things in front of children." Saenz said, "By the way, when can I get the medicine to improve his body? His magic power and spatial ability have not been mastered well, and he has no direct blood relatives to help , to rely on the power of the volcano to strengthen and adjust. But with his current physical level, he is likely to explode and die when he enters the volcano, so it is better to start recuperation as soon as possible."

"After the adoption ceremony is over, he can start taking medicine." The elder said, "You should pay more attention to his growth in the past few days, and report the data in time, so that it is convenient to prepare the dosage of medicine."

"Yeah." Saenz stood up holding Xiaolong, "Then I'll send him out first."

"Go." The elders and Xiaolong waved their hands, "I will replenish you on the day of the adoption ceremony at the meeting ceremony."

Li Chen didn't fully understand it, but with the context, he understood it somewhat.He leaned on Saenz's shoulder and blinked his eyes, thinking that the gesture of goodwill at this time seemed a bit out of character, so he turned his head and rubbed Saenz's cheek.

Saenz smiled silently, and took Xiaolong out.

***

Near noon, Saenz finally ended the long meeting in the morning.

The situation of Li Chen's parents was basically clarified - at least one or two can be inferred from the records of the Dragon Clan - the elders unanimously agreed to keep it secret from the outside world, and let Saenz slowly reveal it to Li Chen in private.In addition, everyone also discussed some other family affairs.After all, the dragon clan has returned to society, and the patriarch has been out for more than a month, so there are a lot of things that have piled up.

In short, Saenz suspended his work at noon and took the little dragon cub to the cafeteria of the venue to settle his lunch.

Surprisingly, there were not many clansmen who came to have lunch.Dragons belong to large beasts, they eat one meal a day, and one meal is worth N days, and most of them have their own tastes.Those who will appear in the cafeteria are mostly just here for a dental festival, purely looking for some snacks to change the taste in the mouth.And because the cafeteria also sells "snacks", Li Chen also saw a table with various precious stones on display.

——Hey, this feels similar to setting up a jewelry counter in the cafeteria, it's so out of harmony!

Seeing him staring at the gems, Saenz asked, "Want to have a snack?"

Li Chen froze for a moment: "Huh?"

"Haven't you finished eating your ruby ​​yet?" Saenz thought for a while after asking, and suddenly felt that children should like snacks with different flavors, "Do you want new ones?"

"Hey!" Li Chen didn't really want it, and shook his head to express that he didn't need it.But Saenz had already carried him to the front of the stage, turned his head and asked, "Which one do you want?"

The staff in charge of this place trotted over: "Patriarch, does Li Chen want ore?"

Of course, the staff knew that it was impossible for Saenz to be short of ore, and now they came to the ore cabinet in the cafeteria, obviously just to find snacks for the children temporarily.

And Li Chen's name, of course, is already known by the whole family.It's not because everyone actively watched the previous live broadcast of another galaxy, but because the ice dragon patriarch's attitude towards this kid is really amazing, and all kinds of "candid" photos spread to all groups in the clan - no Saenz The kind—it’s hard not to know.

"Hmm." Saenz didn't deny it, and asked Li Chen again, "Have you chosen?"

Li Chen: ...Okay, there is a kind of snack called "Snacks that the boss thinks you want to eat".

The little dragon cub rolled his eyes and picked a very light colored ore.The ore used as snacks in the Dragon Clan is not deliberately cut according to the symmetrical structure, and this one is the same, and it is not very transparent.It is milky white, and the interior shimmers with light depending on the angle of the light.Li Chen felt that this was a bit like the light-attribute magic crystal that his object used to use in the previous world, so he wanted to take a closer look.As a result, as soon as he pointed it out, the clansmen were overjoyed: "The brat actually picked an ice-type ore. This is of course the patriarch's better quality. Are you sure you want this?"

Ice attribute?Li Chen was at a loss.The ore most similar to the light attribute is actually the ice attribute, so do the dragons have light attribute crystals?

Speaking of which, are there dragons with light and dark or death attributes?

Li Chen's thoughts diverged, and Saenz had already stuffed the ore into his paw: "It's just a snack, it doesn't matter. Take it."

Li Chen hugged it and took a bite, it was cool and comfortable, a bit like the feeling when rubbing against a big ice dragon.Saenz saw that he really liked it, so he turned his head and said to the staff: "His accounts are all charged to me."

Staff member: "... Hasn't he officially gone through the adoption procedures? Before that, it should be paid from the public account, right? I remember there was a snack fee."

"It's okay, you don't need to keep a public account." Saenz said, "Anyway, I will pay for it in the future."

Staff: "...!" Is that what I thought it meant? !

Saenz didn't say anything more, he carried the little dragon cub and left, and went to the counter next to him to find something else to eat.

Then, the entire clan in the cafeteria witnessed the patriarch who rarely came to the cafeteria, leading the little boy to stage a magical scene of "buy, buy, buy after one more look".

***

After the meal, Saenz took the cub to his office.

The decoration style of the office is very similar to that of Saenz's nest, a little more simple, after all, more space should be reserved for work.Li Chen wandered around, but still couldn't find a point that could match his target, so he resentfully gave up studying the display.There is a huge screen in Saenz’s office, which is constantly scrolling through the items to be checked and resolved, and important news reminders are constantly popping up on the top.At first, Li Chen wanted to take the opportunity to spy on Saenz's work, but he stared at it for a few seconds and gave up again.

——Let’s learn Dragon Language well first.

"...Not sure." Saenz watched him for a few seconds before diverting his attention with little interest, and felt that this little brat was indeed a child, and said, "Come here."

The little dragon cub flew to his lap obediently.

Saenz shared a communication number with him, and then dialed it directly from his communicator.

The other end of the communication was quickly connected.

"... Patriarch Saenz?" Song Lin's face appeared in the projection of the communicator, "Ah, Li Chen?"

Li Chen can't speak now, let alone communicate in the Federal language, so he can only act cute first: "Oh!"

Song Lin stared at Li Chen, smiled, with some meaningful meaning, but didn't say anything after all.Saenz also smiled, looking more relaxed than the day he brought Xiaolong home: "Long time no see. He just received his communicator, and he will add you later, remember to pass."

"Okay." Song Lin looked at Xiaolong, and was about to speak when another person squeezed in beside him.

He Lang hooked Song Lin's shoulders, greeted the two dragons, and asked, "Is your journey going well? Have you been walking for more than a month? Are you used to it?"

"It's okay." Saenz roughly talked about the distance, and then remembered another thing, "I just saw the news. Before, Mr. Song was wronged because someone in the alliance was treasonous?"

"Well, in order to destroy the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Alliance and the Dragon Clan." He Lang explained the ins and outs of this matter in a few words, paused, and then added, "I heard news that in a few days, the Alliance will Sending an official document to the Dragon Clan is about this matter."

"Understood, we will reply." Saenz immediately understood what he meant, looked at Song Lin, and said, "Dragon Clan's official account will also issue a friendly thank you letter to Teacher Song in the next few days. , By the way, sending a video of Li Chen is equivalent to reporting safety."

"That would be great." He Lang smiled, "By the way, we have a personal merciless request."

"Go ahead."

"We, Teacher Song, are very interested in the language of the Dragon Clan." He Lang said, "If this is not confidential, do the Dragon Clan have any language learning materials that we can send over?"

When this question was asked, Song Lin was stunned for a moment.

He just mentioned a few words to He Lang, and He Lang actually brought it up before him. It seems that He Lang really cared about most of what he said.

"Dragon language, it's not a secret." Saenz said, "Just recently, in order to teach Li Chen the dragon language, I have a set of teaching materials here, but it is for children, do you mind?"

"I don't mind." Song Lin replied, "However, you still have dragon language textbooks for the alliance people?"

"The hidden world of the Dragon Clan was not completely closed. The Alliance is one of the largest countries in your barred spiral galaxy. Of course we have special teaching materials." Saenz smiled, "However, my language of the Alliance is relatively average. I made it up once before in the past, I hope there was no misunderstanding during the communication."

"Your League language is already very good." Song Lin glanced at Li Chen and smiled, "I hope one day I can communicate with Li Chen in Dragon Language."

"Then he has to work harder." Saenz pinched the little dragon's tail, "He still only understands half of what he hears, and he can't understand the words."

Song Lin looked at the little dragon cub: "Then let's compare and see who can master the dragon language first?"

"!!!" Li Chen suddenly remembered the fear of learning Dragon Language when Teacher Song ruthlessly held his head down in the previous world.

--Alas!Fear!
