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

Pei Yuening turned around and met a pair of big, round eyes on the cushion.

"..." He paused for a moment, then smiled: "Hey? You're awake?"

"Hmm!" Juanjuan's gaze passed over Pei Yuening's shoulder and precisely locked onto the still steaming iron pot.

It sniffed, then immediately flapped its wings, sprang up from the cushion, and flew into Pei Yuening's arms: "Master!! What's delicious?!"

Pei Yuening quickly reached out and caught it: "Be careful—don't rush, don't rush."

Curly lay on his arm, its tail wagging wildly: "I want to eat!"

"Okay, okay." Pei Yuening sat down with it in her arms and picked up a clean little bowl from the side.

Next, he used a slotted spoon to scoop out a few boneless slices of meat and a few pieces of tofu from the pot, and then scooped out a small spoonful of soup.

He didn't feed her directly, but blew on the bowl to her mouth, tasted it to check the temperature, and then handed it to Juanjuan: "Try it, be careful it's hot."

Juanjuan lowered her head and approached the rim of the bowl, tentatively licking a mouthful of soup, and then her whole face lit up.

It snarled, snatched a piece of meat in its mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Pei Yuening pulled a handkerchief from her bosom and reached out to wipe the soup from the corner of its mouth: "Slow down."

Juanjuan was completely unaware and continued eating, head down.

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

The people at the other table, including Ryan and his group, were all watching this scene.

The most dangerous creature on the entire continent.

Legendary or SSS-level ancient dragons.

Right now, I'm nestled in the arms of a child who has no magic powers, eating hot pot without recognizing anyone else.

Lin Huaijin glanced at it a few more times, had already accepted the fact, and lowered his head to continue eating.

But Ryan and Ollie were so shocked they could barely hold their chopsticks.

Ryan swallowed hard. "Pei...Little Pei?"

Pei Yuening looked up: "Hmm?"

"Excuse me, may I... take your pulse?"

Pei Yuening didn't think much of it: "Sure."

He switched arms to hold Juanjuan, extending the arm closest to Ryan.

Ryan trembled as he placed his fingertips on Pei Yuening's wrist and slowly released his magic.

In just one second, the white light was repelled by a powerful dragon's breath.

Ryan: "………!!!"

Looking at his expression, Ollie understood everything.

So this dragon is actually Pei Yuening's familiar?!

An eerie silence fell over the tent.

The adults on the other side were eating when Lin Huaijin broke the silence first: "So,"

He looked at Xin Tong over there: "You haven't been home for so long, have you been watching the dragon here?"

Xin Tong pulled her face out of the tomato soup and chuckled, "Mhm."

Curly, with a slice of meat still in her mouth, looked up and asked, a little broth still clinging to her lips, "What?"

Pei Yuening: "..."

Oh no, the egg roll has melted!

Lin Huaijin raised an eyebrow: "Where are you from?"

Juanjuan swallowed the slice of meat, licked her lips, and said matter-of-factly, "I've been here the whole time."

Everyone paused.

Xin Tong: "...Always? What do you mean?"

"The literal meaning." Juanjuan lowered her head and licked the soup in her bowl. "I've been here for three hundred years, it's just that you only recently discovered me."

Pei Yuening looked down: "Huh? How did you know the time?"

"I've been awake for a while now."

"Really?" Qin Shuxing couldn't help but ask, "Then why haven't you come out since you've been awake for three hundred years?"

Juanjuan looked up at him and said, "What are you doing here? You're unhappy that I'm out. You said yesterday that you wanted to die with me."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Shuxing said with a forced smile, "Oh, you heard that?"

"Heh," Juanjuan sneered, "I saw many people clearly while I was in the egg."

"You guys are all surrounding me, this one transferring magic power to that one, using fire and ice... It's so annoying."

Xin Tong struggled to process this information.

"Then, why are you willing to come out now?"

Juanjuan turned her head to look at Pei Yuening, and then said, "My master smells sweet."

He paused, then added, "A person who smells good makes their food smell good too."

Pei Yuening: "..."

Xin Tong: "..."

Ye Jiyun listened from the side and smiled helplessly: "So, what do you plan to do after you get out?"

Juanjuan blinked: "As for daily life, I just need to be an angel dragon for a day, or I don't need to be, as long as I can stay with my master."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "Is that all the ambition you have?"

Juanjuan rolled her eyes: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yunjin said "Oh," and added, "I thought you were capable of destroying the world."

"Are you crazy? Do you think I'm a terrorist? We intellectuals have principles!"

Qin Shuxing: "…………Damn it."

"Hahahahaha!"

Qi Zhiyue raised her hand to touch her forehead.

Ye Jiyun stood up at this moment.

He put down his chopsticks, walked over to Pei Yuening, squatted down, and gently touched the curly hair.

"You'll stay by his side, right?"

Juanjuan scoffed, "Of course! You won't find another creature in the whole world that smells better than my master!"

Pei Yuening: ...

"That sounds so awkward..."

"What if he's in danger?"

Curly vertical pupils contracted slightly in the warm light.

He sneered and raised his chin with a cool air: "I will protect him."

"Oh!" Pei Yuening reached out and picked it up, then pressed it against her face. "Good baby, good baby! With you here, I feel so at ease."

"whee."

Ye Jiyun nodded.

"it is good."

……

The pots in the tent were almost empty, and the dishes and chopsticks had been mostly cleared away.

Qin Shuxing stood up and stretched: "Alright, let's go back to the palace."

Xin Tong also stood up, walked to Lin Huaijin, cupped his face and kissed him again: "Good baby, Mommy's going home! I have some things to do at the Silver Staff Council tonight, so I won't be going to sleep."

"Be a good student at school!"

Lin Huaijin said expressionlessly, "...You should leave now."

Lin Yunjin stood at the entrance of the tent and reached out his hand to Xin Tong.

Xin Tong walked over and took his hand, his little flower sprite still perched on her shoulder. She turned back and smiled at Pei Yuening, "Ningning, come play at our house sometime!"

Pei Yuening, holding Juanjuan, nodded to her: "Okay."

The couple boarded the griffin's back and left together.

Pei Yuening watched them go for a while.

As expected, that was His Highness the Prince's familiar.

The night wind carried the dust from the ancient temple ruins, and silence returned to the surroundings.

Pei Yuening and the other three rode in a carriage belonging to the Holy Academy.

The others either rushed back or took a leisurely stroll.

Qin Shuxing hummed a song as he flew, clearly in an extremely good mood after that tomato hotpot meal.

Luo Ren, like Ye Jiyun, still had things to attend to, so he left with his familiar ahead of her.

Pei Yuening leaned against the carriage, her eyelids drooping with sleep.

The Duke of Winster's mansion was the closest to the city gate, so when they arrived, Ryan gently woke them up.

"Ningning?" Ryan patted his shoulder. "Wake up, we're home."

Pei Yuening rubbed his eyes: "...Mm."

Ryan waved goodbye to him: "Go inside, get some sleep, see you at school tomorrow."

Pei Yuening jumped out of the car, turned around and smiled, "See you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the mansion.

The Duke's mansion was shrouded in darkness late at night, with only a few magic stone lamps lit in the corridor.

Juanjuan looked around and exclaimed, "Wow, Master, is this our home?"

"Yes."

"It's huge! Where will I sleep tonight?"

Pei Yuening patted its head: "Sleep with me."

"Okay."

Pei Yuening pushed open the door.

In that instant, before his eyes could adjust to the light, he heard two sounds explode simultaneously—

"You actually know how to come back?!"
