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

The newborn's cries were loud, and the innocent cries drew a response from the little one outside. Although she didn't understand anything, she seemed to find crying fun and started crying along with her.

But while the little one was happy, the others were both worried and flustered.

This time, the only change in the personnel guarding the gate was that the man standing where Drak was was replaced by a dragon from the Yan Kingdom.

The same expression, the same anxious heart.

but……

The responses the two received from the Dragon Girl were completely different.

"This is just a deal."

It was just a deal to ensure her daughter's survival.

"..."

The man didn't say much, he just held his child awkwardly, like a duck that had just entered the water.

"Huijie...how about calling her Huijie?"

He asked, and then gave the name he had thought of for a long time to the crying baby in his arms.

The dragon girl neither agreed nor refused.

"Is this child named Huijie...? Chen Huijie, a name very characteristic of this area."

The dragon held the tiny dragon cub and teased her, with another one hanging from its dark tail.

"Little Tower, come see how your little sister is doing."

He wagged his tail, bringing the little guy who was clinging to his tail with him.

“meme…”

The little guy grabbed his arm and slowly stood up, calling softly to the baby in his arms who was even smaller than himself.

"Little Ta, as the older sister, you must protect your younger sister. Don't be like some bad older sister who enjoys bullying her younger sister all day long."

During the day, I picked up the little guy and the feeling of flying high made him giggle, as if he wasn't listening to what I was saying at all.

"..."

The dragon girl gazed at them, her gloomy mood growing even stronger.

Bai Zhou simply sighed softly.

He has no right to advise others to do good if he has never experienced their suffering.

"Don't take your own lives, at least... don't let them forget what their mother looks like."

That's all the persuasion he could offer.

"Waaaaah..."

The baby in her arms looked like it was about to cry. The Dragon Girl glanced at her and reached out to Bai Zhou.

"The child is hungry."

“If you need anything, my little one, you can call me.”

The Dragon Girl was a descendant he had watched grow up, and she had gone through one hardship after another. He was worried about this stubborn girl.

"This is a personal grudge between us, and has nothing to do with our ancestor."

Although the Dragon Girl harbored resentment, this resentment was neither directed at Bai Zhou nor at the child.

Although he couldn't fully cherish her, the Dragon Girl wouldn't neglect her either.

"..."

Bai Zhou shook his head, picked up the little guy who was grabbing his tail again, and placed him next to the dragon girl.

"Hopefully, the next time I receive news of a blood relative's death will not be the devastating news."

The dragon left, and the little one lay on the blanket watching his retreating figure, her little tail drooping sadly. But soon, her attention was completely focused on her younger sister who was nursing.

The young dragon learned the word "sister" for the first time.

■

"Huijie, Huijie, guess what good thing I found."

A silver-haired baby dragon hugged its younger sister, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, and showed her the treasure it had taken out of the closet.

"..."

The blue-haired baby dragon was still immersed in grief and wasn't very interested in playing with its older sister.

"It's half a bottle of Dragon Dew."

Talulah nuzzled her unhappy sister, then pulled the cork off the bottle, the aroma wafting out attracting the attention of both sisters.

"It seems to be the one that the old man sent last time, but my mother hid it away."

Talulah released her sister and then, as if by magic, produced two straws.

"Huijie, let's split it in half."

"Waaah..."

The baby dragon whimpered as its older sister forcefully shoved a straw into its mouth and drank the fragrant beverage with her.

"It's so sweet."

"Um……"

There was only half a bottle of Dragon Dew, and the young dragons drank it all in two or three gulps each.

But the pleasure brought by the delicious food was short-lived. After enjoying it, the young dragon was soon surrounded and enveloped by that sadness.

"Xiaota, Mommy..."

“Mom is gone, Huijie. But I will protect Huijie, just like before.”

Seeing her sister sobbing and wiping away tears, Talulah took her hand and hugged her.

Are you sad?

She was naturally saddened by her mother's passing.

But she was the older sister, and she couldn't show weakness in front of her younger sister. Her sister only had her left, and since their father didn't care about her, she, as the older sister, had to stand up and become the pillar of support for the foolish Huijie.

This is what the old man told her.

As Youlong pondered, the meaning of the identity of his older sister became clearer in his mind.

"..."

By the moonlight, the young dragon lay on the windowsill, gazing at the unfamiliar night outside, its little tail trembling and its tip curled up into a ball.

"Hui Jie... you idiot Hui Jie..."

She was so scared...

She wouldn't have thrown a stone at him if she wasn't afraid he would hurt her silly sister.

Now that she's been captured and brought to this strange place, I wonder how that silly Huijie is doing. She's probably hiding under the covers crying again, blaming herself for being captured. She's always like that when she gets into trouble… How can she have such a naive and foolish younger sister?

Hopefully, that guy surnamed Wei won't bully the idiot Huijie, otherwise he'll definitely get what's coming to him when she gets back.

The young dragon dispelled its fear with courage.

"..."

"You should seriously learn these etiquette rules; they are extremely important for both you and me."

The young dragon stared blankly at the black snake in front of it, which kept babbling on and on.

I really want to punch him.

Unfortunately, she couldn't beat him, and the result of attacking without any preparation was that she suffered even more in swordsmanship class.

"Hmm...it seems our classes will have to be suspended."

The black snake suddenly shut its mouth, then shook its head helplessly, freeing her from her troubles.

“A distinguished guest has arrived, Talulah. You must make sure to demonstrate the etiquette you’ve recently learned.”

The baby dragon pouted and made a gesture of praise with its little hands behind its back.

Black Snake changed into a set of luxurious clothes she had never seen before and personally led her to the door to greet the guest.

Who made this guy so nervous? You know, even when he went to Longmen alone to kidnap her, he seemed to have everything under control.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, Divine Lord of Yan Kingdom."

The baby dragon blinked, and then a smile appeared on its little face.

“You should be grateful, Coschick.”

The dragon's voice remained as peaceful and gentle as ever.

He hugged the baby dragon, then nodded in satisfaction.

"You've gained weight, but it's not bad."

"Grandpa, I miss you so much."

The baby dragon cheered and hugged him, hanging its entire body on him.

"Ah...yes, I miss you too, Little Tower."

Return of the Forty-Nine Warriors

"Although the Hui Mao Feng tea from Yan Kingdom is of good quality, it pales in comparison when used to entertain a distinguished guest like the Divine Lord."

Black Snake displayed his tea-making skills, serving the prepared tea to the person sitting opposite him.

"Judging from your actions, I think you are well prepared, Koschke."

During the day, I would pick up the tea, smell it, take a sip as if performing a proper ritual, and then put it down without moving it.

“I did not harm a single person in Longmen when I went there, because they were my subjects before Wei came.”
