25, Chapter 25
Detri's eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
"Are you sure?"
Somehow, Chongye suddenly became a little nervous: "I--sure."
Detrier nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, but I want to prepare."
Chongye was quite happy. Seeing that the grand duke's expression was so serious just now, he thought he was going to be rejected. However, why did the grand duke say that he needed to prepare? Could it be that he had to take some protective measures?
Moreover, Chongye discovered that since he agreed to this request, the Grand Duke often lost his mind and looked absent-minded.
― Could it be that this request really makes the grand duke embarrassed?
Chongye couldn't sit still anymore, and he looked up at the grand duke: "How about..."
"Hmm?" The grandfather looked over.
"It's okay if you don't ride... it's okay." Chongye said.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince frowned and gently tapped his forehead: "Don't go back on his word."
Chongye: "???"
No, why did the Grand Duke say this to him? The plot is wrong!
However, the Grand Duke actually looked at him helplessly, as if he was quite dissatisfied with his "rebel". He sighed inwardly and stood up and left, probably to make the "preparation" he said.
Chongye: "…"
He fell into confusion: Could it be that he was really wrong? But wasn’t his original intention not to make the grand duke so embarrassed? Why did he have to go back on his word, but the grand duke was unwilling to do so?
Anta happened to pass by and saw the little Lanxing man sitting on the table worried at first sight, his legs swinging around the table, delicate and cute as a doll made of ceramics. Moreover, the little man can walk, jump, and talk, and his every move makes people feel cute.
Anta held his face and stood in the distance and sucked for a while, then saw "Ochi" walking towards him.
"Miss Anta." "Ochi" smiled shyly, "What are you doing here?"
"Shh--" Anta made a "silence" action, "Don't talk, let's quietly appreciate the cute sitting posture of the young man together."
Through the wide open door, "Oqi" also saw Chongye sitting on the table. His eyes were flashing with strange light, "Mr. I looked good today."
"Huh?" Anta looked at him in surprise, "Your focus is really unusual."
"Oqi" smiled gently and shyly.
"By the way, is Luo Ya very busy recently?" Anta remembered something, "Please tell him for me that Mrs. 'Shoubait' is about to come up with a new book. This time she plays the role, and the protagonist is the grand duke who transforms into a dragon and the little gentleman who disguises as a dragon cub."
Anta held his face and said, "Mrs. I really follow the trend. Eight of the ten books I have recently written about is based on this. However, if you want the essay style, I still recommend the "Sorrowful White-headed" wife."
"Okay, I will tell him." "Oqi" agreed, "The chief is indeed very busy recently. The man who escaped before has not found his whereabouts yet."
"So that's it, then he must be under a lot of pressure now." Anta knew, "I remember that I was the first person you found out about running away in Hudson Bay, right? You are so alert."
"It's just a coincidence." "Oqi" said modestly.
Anta accidentally met his dark eyes, feeling that they were extremely deep, like a bottomless abyss. Once they fell, they would fall to pieces.
"...I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Anta said goodbye in a daze. After taking a few steps, she couldn't help looking back and saw that "Oqi" was still standing in the original place, her focused gaze fell on the little gentleman who was ignorant in the room.
His eyes were too...
Anta couldn't find a suitable adjective, but felt that "Ochi"'s expression was too focused and pious, as if he was looking at something extremely precious.
Somehow, this picture made her feel a little weird.
...
When Detri entered Leiden's room, the man was writing something. Seeing him, Leiden paused his pen and pulled the paper next to him as if nothing had happened, blocking the words he was writing.
Detri saw only a silver figure on the cover. He didn't care much, so he pulled over a chair and sat down, holding his chin with one hand, slowly emptying his eyes.
Leiden saw him growing up since he was a child, and at first glance he could see that he was in trouble. He did not ask, leaving room for the Grand Duke to think quietly.
"The dragon will only let the partner ride on him. What is the basis for this statement?" After a while, Detri said suddenly.
This kind of stupid question is not like the one asked by the guild.
Leiden smiled slightly: "As a dragon clan, you should also know how proud dragons are. Of course, only your partner can make them willing to make such sacrifices."
Of course, some dragon clans also regard this as a pleasure and enjoy it. There is no need to tell the grand duke.
"But as a single dragon, what does this have to do with you?" Leiden smiled and made a break.
Detri: "…"
"Let me guess." Leiden looked at him sly, "Perhaps it was Mr. Littleman who asked to ride on you? No, no, I forgot, Mr. Littleman probably didn't know that you are a dragon clan. So he just wanted to ride a dragon, right?"
Detri: "…"
"Are you worried?" Leiden guessed, "Did you look forward to it very much, making you unable to refuse?"
"No." Det said expressionlessly inside.
Not only did his little Blue Star people not expect it, they even wanted to go back on their word.
"Isn't that very simple?" Leiden clapped his hands, "Just just refuse him directly, the little gentleman will definitely understand your difficulties."
Detri: "…"
"But I have promised him." He said in a deep voice, "can't go back on his word."
"Ah... this is difficult." Even though he said this, the smile in Leiden's eyes flowed out uncontrollably, "Don't force yourself too much. Why not do this? I'll explain to you how?"
"No need." Detri refused hard.
Oh, it's too much teasing.
Leiden put away his bad taste and asked seriously: "So - how do you view the little gentleman now? If you just take care of him as a responsibility, you don't have to make such a big 'sacrificial' for it."
"It's not a responsibility." After thinking about it, Detri denies it.
Immediately, he corrected: "...it's not just a responsibility."
"...I don't mind changing into the original form and letting him ride on it." He added after a while.
"Is this true?" Leiden looked at him with a smile, feeling relieved for the noble Duke's rare honesty. "Since you don't mind, others naturally have no say. Do whatever you want."
"However, acting alone will not last long. I hope you can recognize your heart as soon as possible."
Until he left, Leiden's words still echoed in Deterry's mind.
...
It has been a few days since I arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Chongye still didn't know that the Duke's Mansion had such a large basement.
Leiden took him into a room similar to an "elevator", which was transparent on all sides. The room slowly fell, and the surroundings were dark, and only the sensing lights at the top of the room emitted a slight light.
It seems that from daylight to night, and then from night to daylight to daylight.
When the room stopped falling, a long corridor appeared outside the door. At the end of the corridor was a gate with a star-like style.
The "elevator" door opened, Chongye followed Leiden, and in front of him was the door with a cold and hard color.
"Sir, please come in." Leiden bent down respectfully, and the door opened with a loud bang, but he had no intention of entering together.
Chongye tilted his head, glanced at him, and walked into the door.
There is a vast white space inside the door, and you can't see it at first sight. But there is an extremely conspicuous existence in the space.
"Ah..." When he saw the huge creature on the hill, Chongye widened his eyes in surprise.
The creature seemed to be taking a nap, with its eyes half-open and half-closed, revealing a golden light. It has a long and slightly bent neck, its body has a smooth curve, its muscles are distinct, and it does not appear to be bloated. It is now falling with its breath. The huge wings are gathered behind its back, the slightly bent horns on its head, the sharp claws, the tail on its side, and the scorching breath... all prove that it is the kind of creature that Chongye thinks in his heart.
"Dragon..." Chongye looked at it in a daze, and lost his words for a moment.
How can people not be excited to be able to see the legendary creatures in their lifetime?
Although I have been with the Dragon Cub before, the Dragon Cub gives people a more cute feeling, and does not have the real feeling of "it is the dragon clan", and cannot be compared with the amazingly shocking dragon in front of me.
Chongye couldn't help but take a step forward, and the sound of footsteps seemed to attract the attention of the dragon. It raised its head, its dragon's pupils were completely opened, and its golden eyes looked quite familiar.
"Little Dragon Cub?" Chongye couldn't help calling.
It’s true that the golden eyes and silver scales are the little dragon cub. But the little dragon cub who grew up shouldn’t know him, right?
Chongye thought so, and saw the dragon leaning over and staring at him from a high place.
At first glance, it's really a bit scary.
After all, with its body shape, it is not difficult to swallow several heavy leaves in one bite.
Even so, Chongye did not retreat at all and was not timid. The dragon slowly lowered its head and leaned in front of Chongye.
"Well... is it what I mean?" Chongye was a little disbelief.
He tentatively placed his hand on the dragon's head, stroking the smooth and cold scales, which had a jade-like texture. Chongye couldn't let go and touched it over and over again, even rubbing his cheeks on it, his eyes full of admiration and excitement: So awesome, I touched a dragon--
The dragon kept letting him do it, even half-closing his eyes, as if he was quite enjoying it.
Unexpectedly, the little dragon cub has a good temper when he grows up and looks much more mature and steady.
But soon Chongye stopped thinking so, because for some reason, the dragon suddenly stretched out its long, bright red tongue, accurately set the target, and licked it on him.
"Oh...No! It's so itchy--" Chongye dodged in every way, feeling that the itchy flesh on his body was added by the dragon. No, he licked it back and forth several times, and his whole body was covered with the breath of the dragon.
Chongye was particularly tickling. He kept laughing. As soon as the physiological tears flowed out, they were licked off by the dragon "inadvertently", savoring the wonderful taste of salty but a little sweetness in his mouth.
The dragon finally let him go. It sniffed gently, and the heavy leaf was filled with its scent. This discovery made it quite satisfying. The dragon flapped its wings excitedly, and suddenly brought up a stream of air, which immediately knocked the heavy leaf to the ground.
Chongye: "…"
The author has something to say: Sorry, I forgot to say the update time, so... I will update normally around 9:30 tomorrow night, and it will be a little more.
