If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

After eating his fill, the chicken wing rice roll collapsed on the ground, rubbing his round belly and letting out a burp.

Pei Yuening patted its head: "Alright, alright, where did you come from, you flying magical beast? Hurry up and go home after you finish eating, or your mom..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The chicken wing rice wrap flapped its wings and plunged headfirst into his arms.

"Why!"

Pei Yuening was knocked backward by it and almost fell over.

The chicken wing rice wrap pressed against his chest, forcefully pushing the top of his head against it.

Until its forehead touched Pei Yuening's heart.

Then it closed its eyes.

Pei Yuening suddenly felt a warmth in her chest.

The heat spread from his heart, flowed down his limbs, and then receded, converging in one place.

Pei Yuening suddenly had a bad feeling.

But before he could speak, the chicken wing rice roll yawned, its mouth twisted, and it fell asleep.

Pei Yuening: "..."

This person is dizzy from eating too much charcoal.

A series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the direction of the ruins.

Pei Yuening sat up, holding a chicken wing rice wrap.

Luo Ren was the first to come into view.

His clothes were disheveled as he flew, his breathing unsteady, and his usually calm face now showed anxiety.

However, his steps suddenly stopped when he saw Pei Yuening squatting on the ground.

Ye Jiyun was right behind him.

Then there's Qin Shuxing.

Lin Yunjin, Xin Tong, Qi Zhiyue, He Shuming —

Everyone arrived, one after another.

All seven of them stared at Pei Yuening and the silvery-white object in his arms, and couldn't help but gasp.

Pei Yuening blinked, puzzled. "...Why are you all here?"

Qin Shuxing's lips twitched.

"..."

Password.

Pei Yuening squatted on the ground, the chicken wing rice roll in his arms closing its eyes and nuzzling its head against his chest.

Its wings brushed against his clothes, and the tip of its tail swayed back and forth on his wrist.

Pei Yuening opened her mouth, looking at the people standing in front of her, each with a different expression.

Luo Ren, Ye Jiyun, Qin Shuxing, Lin Yunjin, Xin Tong, Qi Zhiyue, He Shuming, and even several knights and guards he didn't recognize.

They all stopped five steps away, staring at him and the thing in his arms.

"..." Pei Yuening's gaze slowly turned to Ye Jiyun: "Um, brother..."

"Did I mess up?"

Ye Jiyun took a step forward and squatted down next to Pei Yuening: "Ningning, when...when did you get it out?"

"I didn't do anything!" Pei Yuening quickly explained, "I was eating when it fell from the sky! It hit me right in the lap! I didn't do anything!"

"...didn't do anything," Xin Tong's voice drifted from behind, "and then, it just hatched from the egg on its own."

"Flew three miles, landed precisely in your arms, and even signed a contract with you?"

Pei Yuening didn't react immediately: "...A contract? What contract?"

"A lifelong familiar contract," Xin Tong said helplessly, "It pressed its head against your heart and established a soul connection with you using its own primordial magic."

"Anyone who has magic power can be identified as your familiar by testing them with their magic power."

Pei Yuening was dumbfounded: "...Huh?"

Qin Shuxing's eye twitched: "So..."

"The Thunder Egg, which even the empire's strongest mages couldn't handle with all their might, was hatched by a child without magic using roasted chicken wings."

"And they even signed a lifetime contract without any regard for others?"

He paused.

"...The password."

Pei Yuening: "Your Majesty, you are so civilized..."

"Civilized my foot!" Qin Shuxing broke down in her guard: "I've been squatting in this godforsaken place for days and nights!"

"Luo Ren tried! Ye Jiyun tried! Xin Tong tried! We tried all the types: fire, ice, earth, light, dark, and vegetation!"

"The eggshell didn't budge! Not even a sugar-coated bullet worked. And now you're just sitting here with a lunchbox and it's flying over by itself?!"

He Shuming frowned immediately: "Your Majesty, please don't be harsh with my student."

Qin Shuxing immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Oh, okay, okay."

Pei Yuening shrugged: "...I...I don't know why it flew over here..."

The little dragon in his arms let out a dissatisfied snort.

Luo Ren sighed and stepped forward, kneeling halfway in front of Pei Yuening.

Pei Yuening's breath hitched, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

Luo Ren frowned and asked helplessly, "What's in your lunchbox?"

"Huh? It's... it's honey-glazed chicken wing rice..."

Everyone fell silent.

Qi Zhiyue raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Chicken-snake beast meat?"

Pei Yuening: "...I guess so?"

What exactly is a chicken-snake beast?

Dean Qi said so, so be it.

Ye Jiyun helped the person up.

He helped wipe the dust off Pei Yuening's face with a handkerchief and patted his head: "Ningning."

"Um?"

"Do you know what... this is in your arms?"

Pei Yuening looked down.

The little thing has a round head and is sleeping soundly without any guard.

Her full belly rose and fell, her mouth was slightly open, revealing a bit of her pink tongue.

"...Isn't it a flying magical beast cub?"

Ye Jiyun shook his head.

"It's an ancient dragon."

Pei Yuening: "..."

Oh.

………？ ？ ？

Wait a minute!

dragon??

Which dragon?

That one in the textbook, the legendary one!

SSS and above, followed by a long string of suffixes describing just how awesome it is...

dragon?!

Pei Yuening almost lost her balance.

"No... I thought it was chicken wing rice wraps...?"

Ye Jiyun: "..."

Luo Ren's lips twitched slightly.

Xin Tong: "Not only that... look at it."

She bent down and carefully examined the little dragon: "Silver-white is an extremely rare variant among ancient dragons. According to records, it is usually associated with wind or light elements."

Pei Yuening couldn't help but wonder, "Ah... then why didn't it look for my brother or Luo...?"

"Ahem, where is Duke Luo...?"

Xin Tong raised her head.

She didn't say anything, but winked at Pei Yuening where no one else could see.

"...!"

Pei Yuening understood immediately, and blushed instantly.

Because he is related to Ye Jiyun by blood, and also to Luo Ren...

Therefore, although he has no magic power, he is already imbued with both light and wind magic elements.

And their souls are pure enough.

There's something even more important.

Honey-glazed chicken wings are really delicious.

Xin Tong cleared her throat and said, half-jokingly, "Well...maybe it's because neither of them knows how to cook."

But Qin Shuxing actually believed it.

"Oh! I see, no wonder."

He nudged Luo Ren with his elbow: "You, the mighty God of War of the Empire, can't even cook a meal. No wonder the Dragon doesn't look for you."

He nudged Ye Jiyun again: "I won't even look for you."

Neither of them paid any attention to him.

Pei Yuening held the little dragon in her arms, who was so dizzy from eating charcoal that it was sleeping soundly, and silently rubbed its belly.

Ye Jiyun smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Pei Yuening bit her lip and nodded.

Ye Jiyun pinched his cheek: "Did you feed it all?"

"……Um."

Qin Shuxing raised her chin: "Then let's go, come back to camp with us."

"I just moved some supplies from your school. I thought I'd be staying for many days. Now it's great, I can go back after just one meal."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Lorraine, the commander of the Knights behind him, "Call the other three kids too, bring them over."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Lorraine accepted the order and turned to leave.
