I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

"A strong wind rises...and the clouds fly high..."

At this moment, as the sun rises and the moon sets, the first rays of dawn shine upon the staggering red dragon.

The aged dragon looked at him and wept uncontrollably.

Returning to the Forty-Seventh Dragonborn – Talulah Atrias

"Has it been born yet?"

The man from Felin who rushed over was about to ask a question when he was punched by the Zalak.

"Keep your voice down."

"Oh."

He quickly waved his hand, his voice softening.

"Has it been born yet?"

"It'll be soon. That's what the midwife said, but..."

Draco clenched his fists tightly, unsure whether to raise them or lower them.

"Edward, calm down, everything will be alright."

Red Dragon, with a pipe in his mouth, leaned against the wall and comforted him, but even with his beast-headed appearance, he could not hide the worry on his face.

"I know, I know...but..."

"Waaaaaah!"

A loud cry came from inside the house, startling the several grown men outside almost simultaneously.

"Has she given birth? Has she given birth?"

The crying continued for quite a while before the tightly closed door was finally pushed open, and several people crowded around, asking questions all at once.

"It's born, it's born. You guys keep your voices down and stay away from the door. The baby has just been washed and wrapped in swaddling clothes and can't stand being startled or exposed to cold wind."

"Let Aunt Wang and the others go first."

“Edward, you go in alone. Remember to be quiet. Neither the child nor her mother can make any big movements.”

The woman with the unicorn-like appearance pushed them away in disgust and warned Delacroix.

"Okay, I've written it all down."

Draco took a deep breath, glanced at his brothers, and then moved slowly and carefully around the house, an adult moving around with extreme caution, afraid of making any sudden movements or noises that might disturb them.

"Phew... Ah Yue, thank you for your hard work."

Edward went inside, and Wei Yanwu repeatedly expressed his concern for his wife.

“I’m not the one who’s suffering. My sister is the one who’s suffering. That child is so stubborn. She just wouldn’t come out of her mother’s belly. She was in so much pain that she almost fainted.”

Wen Yue still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the frantic scene she had just witnessed.

"It's tough, it is tough... By the way, is it a boy or a girl?"

"girl."

"girl?"

Wei Yanwu's exclamation drew the attention of the others. Seeing his expression, Wen Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What? What's wrong with girls? Don't you like girls?"

"No, no, no, how could this be, how could this be?"

"I'm just surprised. You don't know, my lineage has only had two daughters, including my sister. Now, a girl has been born. I'm so happy, how could I not like her?"

"If I could, I would also like to have a daughter."

Wei Yanwu quickly defended himself.

"If you like it, that's good..."

After hearing his words, Wen Yue's expression softened.

"Girls are great, I want a girl too."

Zalak echoed Wei Yanwu's words, expressing his agreement.

"I want one too, but my rascal... never mind, never mind."

Phil also agreed, but unfortunately, she was unlucky enough to have a son.

The conversation outside did not disturb the couple inside... Now, we need to add one more person.

"..."

Delac sat on the edge of the bed, feeling frustrated, protecting his wife who was still weak after just surviving a dangerous period of childbirth.

The dragon girl placed her hand on her husband's hand to comfort him.

"Ancestor."

She looked at the real dragon standing in the room, her haggard face full of pleading.

"Has the child been named yet?"

During the day, he skillfully held the swaddled baby, gently rocking her while humming a pleasant tune to attract her attention.

"..."

The dragon girl looked at her husband, and Draco took a breath and replied softly.

“Talulah, because she is a girl, we named her Talulah Atrias.”

"If it's a boy, what name do you plan to give him?"

The dragon cub in her arms had just been born, its skin was still wrinkled, its small body and head were disproportionate, and two small gray horns, like newly sprouted seeds, grew on a layer of short lanugo.

At this age, the little guy is as ugly as can be.

but……

I really like it during the day.

The child in his arms carries their bloodline; he is their descendant.

“Uther. If it’s a boy…”

"That sounds awful. Luckily it's a girl."

The daytime's merciless comments made Draco swallow the rest of his sentence.

Uther...why is Uther unpleasant to hear? That was his ancestor...oh, the other person seems to have met his ancestor. Never mind then.

“Talulah…Talulah?”

He looked down, and the little guy happened to be looking over. His miserable little face broke into a "giggle~" laugh. He waved his two little paws wildly, and only after grabbing the finger that Bai Zhou offered did he become obedient and suck on his finger.

"Ancestor..."

The Dragon Girl did not know the purpose of his visit.

Is it to punish his elder brothers, or...?

"The child is fine."

Looking at the little one in his arms, a smile appeared on Bai Zhou's face.

"The mistakes made by the older generation should not be extended to newborn children."

"..."

The little one had just been born and cried for a while, but was soothed by daylight and then fell asleep without anyone noticing.

"As an elder, I should send a congratulatory gift when the child is born."

Gently placing the little guy back into the cradle, Bai Zhou withdrew his fingers from those two tiny paws, looking at the clear saliva remaining on his fingertips without the slightest disgust.

"But I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts."

Bai Zhou clenched his fist slightly, and when he relaxed it again, a longevity lock engraved with the little guy's name appeared in his palm.

"Let this longevity lock be a gift."

"Besides that... I also have a bottle of Dragon Dew here. When the child is older and can eat porridge, add a drop to his breakfast every day for a hundred days, and it will ensure that the child is healthy and free from illness for life."

During the day, he placed the longevity lock next to the little one and put the bottle of white jade dew on the table.

Goodbye, my little one.

When the couple blinked again, the dragon had already left using some unknown method.

The couple looked at each other, and then, at his wife's prompting, Delacroix brought out the bottle of Dettol.

"...It's true. It's even more potent than what those dragon venerables used...and even more potent than what I used back then."

The dragon girl sniffed the scent and then sighed deeply.

"Dragon Dew... what kind of divine object is it?"

Draco had never heard of these things before, and out of curiosity, he asked his wife for an explanation.

"Dragon Dew... is the essence nurtured by heaven and earth, mountains and rivers. Its texture is like water but soft, like clouds but thick. Although it is a tonic, it is not too nourishing. Therefore, even children can consume it."

The Dragon Girl handed the jade bottle to her husband, instructing him to keep it safe, and continued to explain:

"But there is another explanation. Dragon Dew is a treasure formed from the essence and blood of a deity. Since the deity is the embodiment of heaven and earth, the Dragon Dew formed from this essence and blood is the best natural treasure."

"After drinking it, one can cultivate one's body and mind. This amount of dragon dew... if one practices martial arts for half a year, one can establish one's foundation; one can generate internal energy in a year; and three years is equivalent to twenty years of effort for an ordinary person. If one does not wish to engage in fighting, one can also prolong one's life, be free from illness and disaster, and live for another twenty or thirty years."

"Our ancestors bestowed such a treasure; what will become of us in the future..."

The Dragon Girl gazed at her daughter's cradle and sighed softly.

"Perhaps, this is Little Tower's fate."

Return to the Forty-Eight Chen Pagoda

"Waaaaaah!"
