Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"Not for now, but this is to formally inform you that you're being incorporated into our team, and also to give you a child..."

Before Aki Shuto could finish her inexplicable words, a loud wailing sound suddenly came from inside the car behind her.

"Uh…"

Ye Sheng pointed to the car a little embarrassedly: "This baby is called 'Key'. He is a member of this special operations team, but we are still in the exploration phase. It would be too inconvenient to take care of him all the way, so I hope you can help take care of him for the time being."

"'key'…"

Xia Mu twitched the corner of his mouth. Wasn't that the child who possessed the power of the universal key, the Word of Power, which was said to be able to open any door in the world?

"Stop talking nonsense! Have you finished negotiating? Hurry up and take him away! He's so annoying!"

At that moment, a woman got off the bus carrying a wailing baby.

She was around thirty or forty years old, charming and beautiful, and the sparkling diamond ring on her left ring finger indicated that she had a rather wealthy husband.

“This is the child’s adoptive mother, uh, she…” Jiu Deya was a little embarrassed, “She’s going to stay in Shenhai City for a few days and doesn’t want to take care of him anymore.”

Xia Mu glanced at the woman a few times and then remembered that she was Nuonuo's adoptive mother.

Yes, they don't like each other; it's a foster mother-daughter relationship.

Do we look like we'd be good at taking care of children?

When Natsuki and Erii stood together, aside from their overly delicate faces, they clearly looked like boys and girls under twenty years old.

“We had no choice, this auntie…” Shudeya subconsciously leaned forward and bowed apologetically, “We’ve caused you trouble.”

"He's stopped crying now, hasn't he? He likes you all." The woman, as if granted a pardon, shoved the baby into Xia Mu's arms without further ado.

Xia Mu looked down and saw that the little guy had really stopped crying and was just looking at him with curious eyes.

Why did you stop crying?

Xia Mu tugged at his milky-white cheeks.

"Don't!"

Ye Sheng exclaimed, "If you make someone cry, they're hard to soothe... uh..."

But the next moment he swallowed his words back, because he actually saw that this little darling was not crying or making a fuss, but instead reached out his two little hands to grab one of Xia Mu's fingers and smiled without any impurities.

"The dragon blood of the 'key' is exceptionally pure. Be careful with him, lest it backfire," the woman said indifferently, then turned and strode away.

“Don’t worry about it, that’s just how she is. She’s never treated the ‘key’ like her own child; on the contrary, she’s always been very wary of her,” Ye Sheng said.

Shudeya was a little happy: "He likes you a lot. This is the first time I've seen him take the initiative to get close to someone."

"Then I am truly honored..." Xia Mu pouted.

"Kawaii!"

Erii stretched out her slender fingers and poked Gin's cheek.

"Wow—"

The baby suddenly burst into tears, his little face filled with terror.

"what…"

Erii looked at her fingers, a little aggrieved, and said, "I didn't use any force..."

“It’s hard to say whether ‘Key’ likes or dislikes us. I don’t care. It’s already surprising enough that he likes Natsuki,” Shudeyaki comforted her.

"Don't be afraid."

Xia Mu reached out and touched the baby's forehead, and the baby stopped crying. He just huddled in Xia Mu's arms, his wary little eyes glancing at Erii as if he had seen a monster.

Babies often have more sensitive senses than adults. They may not understand what people around them are saying, but they can get strange intuition. So they will always be close to people who are usually quiet, but cry loudly to those who show a kind smile.

Of course, the 'key' was afraid of Erii not because it sensed any hidden attributes, but simply because it feared the oppressive aura emanating from her super-pure dragon blood.

"Can we find a professional to take care of me?" Xia Mu was again thinking about using his money.

Shudeya quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it's too pure, what if it gets out of control..."

Natsuki glanced at Erii beside him.

Out of control? The biggest source of this loss of control is this guy, okay...

“Okay, I have one last question.” He cradled the baby in one arm, letting him rest on his shoulder.

"What's the problem?"

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya breathed a sigh of relief.

The principal had asked them to bring the 'key,' but it caused them a lot of trouble, especially since his adoptive mother was no pushover.

No wonder Professor Mans often said that Nono's personality was forced out of her; children raised in such a family wouldn't be normal...

"what is the benefit?"

Xia Mu's words were concise and to the point.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were stunned for a moment.

"Well, as a freshman who hadn't even entered the academy yet, he became a temporary specialist and participated in the execution department's operations. That's an extremely impressive resume," Ye Sheng said with a smile.

"That's it?" Xia Mu handed the baby over without the slightest hesitation. "You can play with it yourselves."

"Wow—"

'Key' clung to his arm and started crying.

"It's beneficial! It's beneficial!"

Jiu Deya hurriedly said, "No matter what your assessment results are in the first year, you two will not be demoted, and it will be the same in the future. You will not be demoted as long as you participate in the special operation of the Executive Department in that year."

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow.

That's actually a good thing; you can study whatever you want for coursework and credits.

Chapter 103 Erii's Quiz Show

"The two of them..."

As Shutoku Aki watched Natsuki and Erii leave side by side with their child, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes: "They look like a young couple with a child."

Ye Sheng turned his head to look at her beautiful profile. His hand, which was hanging down, moved unconsciously, and he had the urge to take her hand, but he stopped himself in the end.

"When will we... be able to live such an ordinary and peaceful life?" Shudeya pretended not to see the shadow of his hand moving under the light, only her earlobes blushed slightly.

Ye Sheng smiled and said, "Let's wait until after this mission. We can apply to not carry out any more diving missions for a year. At that time, the daily work and life of the execution department will be separated, and we will be no different from ordinary people."

"Ok!"

Shutoku Aki glanced at him furtively, her toes tapping the ground unconsciously, and said softly, "I want to go back to Tokyo. What about you?"

"I was just planning to travel to Tokyo," Ye Sheng said with a hearty laugh.

Shudeya narrowed her eyes in a smile.

She didn't say anything more like, "Oh, what a coincidence, let's go together then," because of the unspoken understanding between them.

They can't confess their feelings, they can't define their relationship, otherwise they can no longer be partners, no longer be each other's support. But beyond confessing their feelings, they are closer than anyone else.

"Mr. Xia, Ms. Xia, there is a package for you. Please check it."

Natsuki, holding the "key," walked into the apartment with Erii. The 24-hour receptionist immediately greeted them and couldn't help but glance at the baby in his arms.

She naturally knew their identities and the recent rumors, but it couldn't be... that they'd even had a child?

"Where is it?" Xia Mu frowned.

"Ah! Here it is, please sign for it!"

The receptionist pushed a suitcase over.

Xia Mu's eyes flashed, and she took it: "Thank you."

Then, he carried the baby in one arm and dragged the suitcase with the other. Erii, having lost his warm and reassuring hand, had no choice but to follow him upstairs, holding his wrist.

Her gaze toward the "key" gradually turned hostile...

The key shrank closer to Xia Mu's chest.

"Come."

The elevator doors opened, and Natsuki dragged his suitcase inside, then smiled slightly and extended his hand to Erii.

"laugh."

The girl became visibly happy, grabbed his outstretched hand, and with his help, jumped into the elevator.

With the child in one arm and Erii's hand in the other, Natsuki's heart began to race as she watched the rapidly changing floor numbers.

This feeling, a wife, kids, and a warm bed?

"Ding."

After entering the house, Xia Mu placed the 'key' on the sofa and sat down, facing the view of the Huangpu River from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He didn't cry or make a fuss; instead, he watched everything with curious eyes.

Xia Mu turned around and opened his suitcase. Instantly, a chilling aura emanated from it, as if a freezer had been opened.

"Eri, come here."

He beckoned to Erii, and when she came in front of him, he squatted down, looked at the girl's slender waist, and reached out to touch it.

"Mumu?" Erii looked at him curiously.

Xia Mu scratched his temples, pondering how to pull out the belt without being tempted.

"Eri, don't move..."

He looked up into Erii's eyes.

"Oh…"

She blinked, looked down at his handsome face, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his cheek, as if she had forgotten that he had told her not to move.
