LBRDI Chapter 20

I Lost my Nephew

This dragon was too proficient in crying cutely, doing it without any psychological burden, Shen Mian asked, “Do you always cry like that?”

Beast He slowly took a few steps backwards, “Do you really want to know?”

Shen Mian, “Am I not allowed to ask?”

Even for many dragons, mythical dragons are a genus of great mystery. There isn’t even a specialized book on the genus for the human civilization’s child-care profession.

He Xing backed up as he spoke, “There’s nothing you can’t ask. My species is capable of roaring, but it can also make a similar sound, it’s just that very few dragons make a noise like that. It’s basically used for pettiness and softness, young dragons often make this sound.” 

It is often used to attract the attention of other dragons or people. Young dragons often make this sound to attract the attention of their parents, but if an adult dragon makes this sound, the meaning would be heavier.

He Xing explained, “Actually, most dragons have this habit, but the sounds aren’t quite the same, so nothing surprising there. Look at Gian and Lu Yuan, who are both large dragons, don’t they like to stick by your side every day? Who isn’t a cute little dragon cub in front of the person they like?”

Of course, Shen Mian knows. When Gian comes to him, he will unconsciously make a purring noise, like a large jewel engine. When Lu Yuan’s fur is smoothed at the top, he goes, “Mmmm.” All the races in this world have a way of getting someone’s attention.

He(SM) was curious about another point, “Then do you know how to chirp?”

He Xing was stunned, “… I don’t.”

[Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs: Just be a crying beast, what kind of psychedelic thing is a chirping beast hahahahaha.]

[Death Rays: I died laughing on the spot hahahahaha the dean’s thinking is amazing.]

[Get out of the way! Thunderbolt: Dean, I can, I can! I can chirp! Dean should raise me, I can call for you every day, I can also chirp fancily-]

[My precious: The dean has really had taste hahaha.]

Shen Mian was a little disappointed, “That’s fine.”

He Xing, “… A dragon of my size chirping doesn’t sound nice!”

Shen Mian expressionlessly, “Then is crying cutely way better than chirping?”

He Xing stared at him for a moment, then suddenly his shoulders shook and he laughed out, “Hahahahahahahaha.”

“What are you laughing at?”

He Xing chuckled, “It’s nothing.”

It’s just that seeing his family’s Dean Shen saying a series of soft onomatopoeias with a cold voice and snowy face was very, very cute.

[Strawberry flavoured nutrient solution sent out stars x10]

[I want to resign sent out stars x100]

[Strawberry flavoured nutrient solution: Here’s the thing, I still want to hear the dean chirp, and bang is also fine.]

[Hotpot seasoning: Wu wu wu, I understand the little brother’s smile very well, I’m about to cry from the dean’s cuteness, how is he cute all over?]

[Death Rays: He has a good face and an even better soul. He grew up eating cuteness wu wu wu.]

……

A young officer’s voice rang out from a villa in the very centre of the 7th Legion housing complex on the Imperial Star: 

“He’s crying cutely! What is he crying cutely for?! Does he really think that all adult dragon don’t know who they should cry cutely towards?”

“Aren’t you guys best buddies? Why didn’t you persuade the marshal? Yes, the Empire promotes the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two civilizations and he needs to take a stand as first in line to succeed, but does he need to take a stand like that?!”

Vick was so angry that his social phobia was almost gone and completely ignored the three adult dragons on the sofa.

On the sofa, from left to right, sat the Major General, the Lieutenant General and the Admiral, who had just been promoted two days before. A row of three neatly uniformed adult dragons with their hands on their knees, staring at Vick as he walked around the living room.

Zhao Xingchen, with the rank of Lieutenant General and had three stars and two flowers, shivered, “I’m so scared.”

Zong Chi, with three stars and one flower, “What are you scared of?”

Zhao Xingchen, “Will Vick scold us?”

Yan Huan, “Clear your head, little Vick is already scolding us.”

He took off his own three stars and three flowers insignia and shoved it into his pocket.

Zhao Xingchen whispered, “What are you taking off your insignias for?”

Yan Huan thought about it, “It might be a little more dignified like this.”

Zong Chi and Zhao Xingchen looked at Vick’s lieutenant colonel insignia and silently took off their own insignia’s, “En, what you said was right.”

Vick opened Cat Eye Live and looked at the comments underneath the live broadcast. The more he thought, the angrier he got, “Every one of you never worry!”

Zhao Xingchen whispered, “Isn’t he just selling his face? The high-looking Crown Prince loves humans, mostly in line with policy. What a great set up.”

Zong Chi vigorously nodded.

Yan Huan closed his eyes and thought internally, When it’s over it will be a good idea to mention the setup.

Sure enough, Vick smirked and opened a comment and chucked his quantum computer in front of the three generals, “Set up? Wasn’t he the handsome, brave dragon designated as the Empire’s blade? Where is his tough-guy image now? He created scandals for himself some time ago and today he cried cutely for the public to see

“Is he selling his face? He’s obviously trying to sell himself!”

The three generals leaned back at the same time and nodded hard, “Yes, yes, yes, he is shameless!”

Vick thought about it, “It can’t go on like this, otherwise if a child magically turns up and His Majesty asks me, how will I be able to explain it? Someone needs to be at the marshal’s side to dissuade him.”

Although Vick himself was part of this entourage, but as a civilian, he has not gone through water and fire with He Xing. Not being able to be He Xing’s confidant, let alone his left or right-hand man, it was obviously inappropriate for him to go rashly at a time when He Xing was in a special situation.

Vick’s gaze fell on the three dragons on the sofa.

In the entire capital, these three were the marshal’s most trusted dragons, but not one of them took things seriously. If he had to choose one, then only Yan Huan can go.

Vick spoke slowly, “Admiral Yan Huan.”

Yan Huan was shocked, “Little Vick?”

“I’ll write a request for a transfer for you, I’m not sure how many days I can get, but I hope you’ll go to the marshal’s side and talk him out of it,” Vick increased his tone, “Don’t complain anymore!”

“He threw the dragon to the humans next door!”

Yan Huan, “…”

Vick didn’t know enough about He Xing to know how hard it was to do that.

Vick put away his quantum computer and was about to send the three generals packing to the door when he suddenly blankly said, “Also, if you can, please bring me an autograph from the dean, I’m a big fan of his, tell him I’ll always support him, thanks.”

Yan Huan, “…Ok.”

Click.

Vick closed the door.

Yan Huan, “…”

Little Vick, you have no heart.

Two days later, Water Star, Qiming Childcare Centre.

Shen Mian’s two red pigs had grown to more than sixty pounds and were fat and strong, jumping around every day, knocking down the low wall of the pigsty. Shen Mian and He Xing had to get up in the middle of the night, both of them picking one up and throwing them into the big hole in the backyard.

He Xing, “It’s a good thing Gian and Lu Yuan dug such a big hole yesterday, or else we wouldn’t know what to do with these pigs.”

The location of the pit was hidden and Shen Mian didn’t know since when the centre had such a deep pit, “What is this?”

He Xing coughed twice, “I bought them a treasure hunting storybook a few days ago. Gian dragged Lu Yuan here to dig a hole, dug a pile of stones out, washed them and put them under the bed.”

Shen Mian, “And you didn’t stop them?”

He Xing sighed, “As soon as I looked at the two cubs, I couldn’t bear to stop them.”

Shen Mian looked down at the pit and slowly spoke, “That’s weird, I gave them a bath last night and didn’t see mud on them.”

He Xing confessed, “I wanted to give Gian a breathing demonstration and accidentally created a hole in the ground.”

He was finally able to maintain his normal intelligence in dragon form two days ago and took his two cubs up to the sky for half an hour of fun while Shen Mian wasn’t there. He was too happy on the way back, a mouthful of lightning smashing a hole in the ground.

Shen Mian, “…”

He Xing, “Are you angry?”

Shen Mian thought about it, “I won’t be angry if you chirp.”

He Xing was hovering left and right between doing it or not, but the vibrations of his quantum computer saved him in time.

He Xing couldn’t wait to pick up his quantum computer, “I’ll answer the call first.”

Hurry up to see which saviour this is.

Shen Mian turned around to look at the dragon grass and shortly after walking over, he heard a thump, followed by the sound of chewing.

The childcare centre is near the wastelands and sometimes small beasts sneak in to steal the dragon grass.

Shen Mian saw nothing strange and followed the sound, but only saw pitch black.

The caller was Yan Huan.

He Xing accepted the call and a man’s tired voice came on the other end, “He Xing, can you come out and pick me up if you’re not asleep?”

He Xing froze, “You came to Water Star? Can’t you just use the navigation?”

Yan Huan, “I can’t, I lost my nephew. Come out and help me find him.”

He Xing. “… What did you bring your nephew out for.”

Yan Huan had a headache, “If it wasn’t for you causing trouble on Water Star, Little Vick telling me to come here to persuade you and my brother asked me to take his son out for a breather, I wouldn’t have lost him as soon as I left the nearby port.”

He Xing was about to speak when Shen Mian suddenly spoke, “He Xing.”

He Xing immediately put aside his best friend who had lost his cub and turned his head, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Mian was carrying a dragon cub, “What kind of dragon is this?”

The dragon cub had a mouthful of dragon grass and was still chewing on it while being carried.

He Xing slowly spoke, “The nephew you’re talking about, does he have black eyes?”

Yan Huan, “Yeah… how did you know?”
