Chapter 636 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 40
Yue instantly realized Zhaozhao's thoughts, and her voice was very excited: "No, Zhaozhao!"
As if afraid of being abandoned, the red phoenix egg jumped to the ground the moment it touched Xi Yan's palm.
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard.
Yue: "The time hasn't come yet, and you're not dead! What's the rush!" He was usually mild-mannered, but he practically shouted these words, which showed how angry and anxious he was.
His hasty actions made it hard to imagine that just two years ago, he had taken the initiative to leave Zhaozhao and return to the Phoenix Clan.
Almost the second after Yue landed on the ground, Zhao Zhao jumped down from Frang's arms, carefully picked him up, and turned him over to check if there were any cracks in the eggshell.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was completely undamaged.
"Why didn't you fall and die!" Zhao Zhao cursed inwardly, while Yue breathed softly, feeling wronged.
"I'm sorry." Xi Yan's expression stiffened slightly. "It's my fault for not holding it properly." His deep purple eyes looked at the red phoenix egg, which was pulsating with spiritual energy.
He never expected that Yue, who had been calm just moments before, would suddenly become so agitated, even jumping out of his hand without regard for her own safety.
Seeing Xi Yan's self-blame, Zhao Zhao was about to get sad again: "It's not your fault, it's all Yue's fault."
Yue: ?
"I'm worried you'll abandon me, okay?" he said, his voice filled with grievance. However, his mental energy, now resting in Zhao Zhao's hands, gradually returned to stability.
Xi Yan gazed at the two eggs, his seemingly calm eyes flickering slightly.
The black phoenix egg in her palm did indeed grow and develop like an ordinary phoenix egg, but the one in Zhao Zhao's hand was truly extraordinary.
Yue's awakened spiritual power seemed to be greater than she had imagined, and it seemed to have exceeded the normal range.
There must be something strange about it that he hasn't noticed.
As Xi Yan raised his hand towards Yue, about to touch the phoenix egg again for a closer look, he saw Zhao Zhao's head suddenly pop into his palm.
The cub had soft hair and a round head, making it very cute. It looked up at him, and Xi Yan felt a touch in his heart: "What's wrong? Young Master of the Dragon Clan?"
Being someone else's child, he seemed a little distant, removing his hands and putting them behind his back.
There was no familiar doting in her pale purple eyes; instead, there was only unfamiliarity in them.
Despite being treated so coldly by others, he still eagerly tried to get close to them.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhao was not happy and took a step back, thinking to herself.
Damn leg, how can you be so spineless!
My gaze suddenly rose, and a familiar scent unfolded at the tip of my nose.
Frang held Zhaozhao and looked at Xiyan with a half-smile: "Have you finished checking?"
The black phoenix egg remained motionless in Xi Yan's palm for several minutes, while the red phoenix egg jumped off his palm the moment he touched it.
It was obvious that Ye was perfectly normal, while Xi Yan wanted to check on Yue, who was "not quite normal".
But now they absolutely refuse to let me touch it, no matter what I say.
Xi Yan said nothing more and could only leave. However, when his tall and upright figure walked out of their palace gate, the one he was most reluctant to part with was not Yue, the former young master of the Phoenix Clan, but Zhao Zhao, the current young master of the Dragon Clan.
Zhao Zhao's every move was under Frang's watchful eye. He saw Zhao Zhao's reluctance and looked thoughtfully at the departing figure.
What kind of spell did Xi Yan cast on the kid?
"Son, stop looking," Frang whispered. "Is he really that good-looking? Aren't I much more imposing and handsome than him?"
Come see me!
He ruffled the cub's hair, and Zhao Zhao snapped out of her daze and gestured for him to put the two phoenix eggs back on her head.
Fran, who had never paid attention to the young master's aesthetic sense, looked at Zhao Zhao, who seemed to have grown up quite a bit, and rubbed his temples with a headache: "You've been wearing two eggs on your head all this time, this isn't a good solution."
It would damage the young master's imposing and handsome image.
Zhao Zhao pouted: "Leave me alone."
Fran: "...Naughty little brat."
However, at night, Frang secretly combed the cub's hair and then placed a soft and cute little cloth bag on the bedside table.
Zhao Zhao always carries the phoenix eggs with her. Frang didn't want the cub to lack dignity with two eggs on its head, so he looked for another solution and secretly placed the little thing he made himself by the cub's bedside tonight.
The tall man moved carefully, and seeing that Zhao Zhao was sleeping soundly, he pointed at Yue and warned her impatiently, "You better behave yourself and stop trying to climb all over our young master."
Yue moved her egg body in a daze, indicating that she was annoyed.
Arguing with a child is really ungentlemanly. After saying that, Frang ran away. Yue, who was woken up, rolled into Zhao Zhao's armpit speechlessly, and thus slept with her sandwiched between Zhao Zhao's arms all night.
By this time, it was completely dark in the distant western dragon territory. Neri, Ersto, and Irik sat together with somber expressions, the atmosphere between them tense and oppressive.
"Have these dragons gone mad? Why are they so aggressive lately?!" Irik slammed his hand on the table, his handsome face showing the same grim expression.
First came the attack and discontent against the young master, and now there is the brutality and infighting.
Erstoo calmly analyzed, "In the past month, there have been no fewer than a thousand infighting incidents within small dragon groups, with almost every dragon involved in the brawls."
"They even stopped obeying the orders that explicitly prohibited hunting forest spirit beasts, and were now paying lip service to them."
The atmosphere in the three-person room was eerie, with only heavy breathing sounds filling the air.
Following her words, Neri looked at the seemingly unusually agitated Irik and said calmly, "Among them, the most chaotic domain is your domain, Irik's domain."
"Don't you have anything to say?" He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, exuding a chilling aura.
Irrick pressed his brow, trying to take a deep breath and control his temper, but Neri's otherwise gentle words sounded inexplicably harsh and made him want to get angry.
"boom!"
He slammed his hand on the table again, a smirk playing on his lips as he slowly stood up, looking down at Neri: "Are you questioning me?"
"Manage your own domain well before you talk to me."
"I'm just stating the facts?"
"What nonsense about discussing the matter at hand! You're clearly looking for trouble!"
Neri, already in a bad mood, laughed in exasperation upon hearing this: "Are you trying to test my patience?"
Veins bulged on their foreheads. In this eerie atmosphere, Erstoo suppressed his frustration and agitation, tightening the string of reason in his mind.
"Alright, stop arguing," he said coldly, pulling the two apart. "Do you two want to fight too?"
"You haven't even resolved your own issues, and you're already arguing?"
What a bunch of useless people, they've wasted all that time.
He thought it with disdain, but then a thought struck him.
How did he become like this too?
Neri shook off Irik's arm with a sullen face, crossed her arms, and stood silently to the side with a dark expression.
Seeing this, Irrick just glared at him irritably, but in the end he did nothing and left with a flick of his sleeve.
What started as a conversation between three people almost turned into a brawl, and the remaining two, Ersto and Neri, also lost their patience.
"Irrick and I will come to see you tomorrow. Let's calm down first."
"Hmm." Neri nodded, not forgetting to add, "Your domain is a mess, keep an eye on it!"
"......"
Ersto hurried along, worried that if he stayed any longer he would really grab Neri by the collar and beat him up.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the abnormal emotions, but upon returning to his own territory, he witnessed a violent incident.
"You bastards! I've only been gone a short while and you're already starting a rebellion!"
