Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 600: I'm no ordinary dragon cub! (5)

As night falls, the dragon's lair is bathed in a dazzling golden light.

In just one day, the doting mother Neri covered Zhao Zhao's little nest with the biggest and shinies of gold and gems.

"Little one, is that enough? If not, I have plenty more in my nest~"

He smiled and ruffled the cub's head. The cub's eyes lit up as it looked at the shiny things in front of its nest: "Let's not move them today, we'll move them tomorrow."

It's too late, Neri should rest too.

Although Zhao Zhao has a bad personality, she is still a considerate child at heart.

"Thank you! Go to sleep now!"

Dragons generally go to bed early, so he figured Neri must be tired.

The fair-skinned and adorable cub stood barefoot on a piece of gold, its tail swaying as it peered out from under its robes, its eyes lowered as it gazed at its spoils in front of its nest. Seeing this, Neri simply smiled and carried it back to its nest, which was lined with comfortable cushions: "You go to sleep first, then I'll go to sleep."

Zhao Zhao didn't actually want to sleep. He wanted to count his money and see what this bird egg that kept crying was up to!

However, this matter can only be done when it is late at night and everyone is quiet.

So Zhao Zhao pretended to comply and lay down, obediently closing her eyes.

"Okay, I'm asleep now, you can go."

The tall, slender man in red stood guard by the bed. Seeing that the cub was still talking and urging him to sleep, he shook his head helplessly.

"Then I'm going to bed."

The quiet little nest was surrounded by gold and jewels that were even taller than the dragon cubs could stack up when they stood up.

Zhao Zhao quietly looked up and saw that the Crimson Candle Dragon was asleep in the wide dragon's nest not far away, its body rising and falling with each breath.

As if infected, he lay drowsily in his comfortable and bright bed, his eyelids slightly heavy. Unfortunately, there was always a voice crying in his head.

It went on and on, without end.

"Stop crying! You're making so much noise!"

So, he shouted in his mind in frustration, while in reality, his delicate brows furrowed tightly.

The crying in his mind stopped abruptly, and at the same time, the red phoenix egg placed at his feet rolled towards him, hitting the cub's tender heel.

"Screech! I knew it was you crying incessantly!"

"Stop crying! Stop crying!"

Zhao Zhao blushed, dodging the bird egg that was trying to bump into him after being scolded and being petty, while mentally reprimanding him.

"When I was still an egg, I never cried or made a fuss. Look at you, you're not even worthy of being an egg!"

"What kind of egg is this?!"

A slightly ethereal, aggrieved voice echoed in her mind. Zhao Zhao was taken aback, clearly not expecting that the tiny phoenix egg could speak.

"I'm not an egg! I'm a mighty fire phoenix that was born long ago!"

The voice in my mind was very childish, but in reality, the eggshell was extremely hard and flexible.

Caught off guard and bumped into by the villain again, Zhao Zhao raised his hand and gripped it tightly in his hand: "If you bump into me again, I'll make you truly born!" he threatened, clearly not believing what the red egg said.

"Waaaaah, help! Where am I?!"

The demonic voice echoed in her mind. Zhao Zhao raised her eyebrows, raised her hand high as if to throw it to the ground, and threatened, "Cry again?!"

Sure enough, threats were more effective; the phoenix egg, sensing danger, instantly fell silent.

Zhao Zhao laughed smugly: "Hmph! I'm not your gentle mother. If you cry again, I have plenty of ways and strength to deal with you!"

"Humph......"

The childish voice in his mind also let out a pitiful hum, hiccuping in his head.

Fortunately, things have finally calmed down.

He asked cautiously, "What's your name? And where is this place?"

He only knew that he seemed to still be in the spirit world, but his mental exploration showed that this place was no longer the Phoenix Clan.

Moreover, even Zhao Zhao wasn't by his side...

The tiny phoenix egg suddenly became alert and quickly rolled to a corner, defensively dealing with the cub that was talking to it.

Zhao Zhao curled her tail and lay on the soft nest, her eyes closed, and said lazily, "Tell me first what you are?"

The Dragon Clan's legacy told him that the phoenix egg he currently possessed was completely inadequate to develop independent consciousness.

Several possibilities flashed through my mind: a different race transmigrating, possessing another's body, and being reborn.

"My name is Yue, and I am nothing." Yue currently only has a wisp of consciousness remaining in the egg, and his weak spiritual power allows him to speak only to the cub in front of him.

"Who are you, waah..."

The crying woke Zhao Zhao, who was about to fall asleep. He roared irritably, "My name is Loriel, and this is Dragon territory! My land!"

"Tell me! Are you some kind of monster who has possessed someone else's body?!"

At the same time, he frantically asked the system for information about the bird egg and what had happened to it, but unfortunately the system did not reply to him and remained quiet as if it were dead.

“Lori... El! Such a familiar name.”

The red egg rolled to his side again, bumping into his tail with a "bang, bang, bang".

"You...you weren't dead?!"

"Pah!" Zhao Zhao raised an eyebrow: "You're the one who's dead!"

"You're really not dead? That's impossible..."

In the sun-drenched royal garden, a young boy read aloud from a desk piled high with books, word by word, in his ear: "A hundred years ago, the young dragon lord Loriel willingly sacrificed himself to the demon dragon... and the curse that tormented the dragon race for two thousand years perished..." His voice was still clearly audible...

Could he... have traveled to the Dragon Clan of a hundred years ago?!

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

At the same time, Zhao Zhao was so angry with Yue that she roared out.

He angrily opened his eyes and got up to deal with the egg, only to see a pair of large hands reaching out to him, and he was immediately pulled into a warm embrace.

A pair of hands gently stroked his hair to comfort him.

Neri whispered, "Did the little one have a nightmare?"

The man lowered his eyes and saw that the little dragon's chest was rising and falling, and its face was very red, as if it had been frightened by something.

The deep eyes scanned everything around the dragon inch by inch, finally stopping at the two phoenix eggs in Zhao Zhao's little nest.

He held Zhao Zhao in his arms, his long, slender fingers picking up one of the red phoenix eggs.

He vaguely sensed the faint spiritual energy emanating from the egg, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.

This phoenix egg is still a hatchling, how come it has developed spiritual power so early?

"Zai Zai?"

Seeing that the cub was not speaking and just sitting in his arms in a daze, Neri asked anxiously, "Are you really scared?"

It's his fault for sleeping so soundly that he didn't notice the cub's unusual behavior.

The red phoenix egg was casually tossed back into its nest by the man, and a voice in Zhao Zhao's mind cried out in pain, "Loriel, he threw me!"

"I'm fragile now, if I break, I'll die!"

Yue wanted to go back; he couldn't die yet!

Oh dear, he'll never run off again.

This time, things have taken an unexpected turn; I've somehow ended up in the Dragon Clan's time a hundred years ago.

Zhao Zhao ignored Yue, while Nali gently rubbed his head, which felt so good.

I'm sleepy and hungry.

The large, watery eyes stared straight at Neri, making the ancient dragon, who was tens of thousands of years old, soften his heart.

"I'll go prepare something to eat for you." Her voice was so soft, as if she didn't want to frighten him.
