Chapter 216: Could You Be a Little Gentler?

Without her command, it wouldn’t dare to return to her side.

The last time she threw it away, so many years had passed before it finally found her again. If she tossed it away again… it might never see her again.

It couldn’t bear that!

To stay by her side as quickly as possible, it decided—under no circumstances could it let this girl recognize that it was the little Huahua from back then.

Besides, this girl had clearly reincarnated. She probably didn’t remember anything from her previous life, right?

It prayed fervently that she wouldn’t remember anything from her past life!

“What’s your name?” Ah Bao asked.

The divine dragon fell silent: “…”

What was its name?

It, it, it—

The people kneeling on the ground, their legs and feet numb by now, also had their minds buzzing.

The people in the front row, including Di Zian and others, overheard the conversation between Ah Bao and the divine dragon.

Throughout the exchange, the dragon was silent and tearful, not uttering a single word, while the little girl chatted non-stop.

She didn’t realize that with every word she said, Di Zian, Luo Zifeng, and Di Rongjing’s hearts trembled.

Did the dragon really understand?

Was the dragon really not angry?

“Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Little Princess, please stop making a fuss. The divine dragon might be angered, and we can’t afford that,” said the troublemaker from before, now whining again.

Ah Bao turned her gaze to the person speaking. He was a young man with a scruffy beard.

【Today is my birthday. Mother said I mustn’t be angry today; I should be happy.】

【So, no anger, no anger.】

Di Zian: “…”

He looked pitifully at the man, realizing the man was done for.

Luo Zifeng and Di Rongjing thought Ah Bao was adorable and secretly smiled, looking down.

“Are you angry?” Ah Bao asked the divine dragon directly.

To avoid tiring Ah Bao, the dragon lowered its head almost to the ground, just to maintain eye contact with her.

The dragon shook its head.

“They said I upset you.”

The dragon blinked, its breath growing rough. How dare those blind fools say it was upset by her?

Blind!

“Tell them I didn’t upset you. And make sure to tell that person clearly,” Ah Bao pointed at the bearded man in the crowd with precise accuracy.

The man, still kneeling, happened to look up and make direct eye contact with the divine dragon.

The dragon squinted its eyes. Its tail suddenly lifted, hooking the man up and suspending him high in the air.

“Ah, ah, ah! Help! Lord Divine Dragon, spare me!” He didn’t know what he had done wrong. He hadn’t even angered the divine dragon.

The dragon withdrew its tail, causing the man to fall from the height and crash onto the ground with a loud thud.

The divine dragon was angry!

It had directly crushed the man to death.

As if not wanting these scoundrels to dirty Ah Bao’s eyes, the dragon’s tail swept across, cleaning up the filthy and bloody scene completely.

The man was left with no trace.

The crowd: !!!

What’s going on?

After finishing everything, the divine dragon looked at Ah Bao as if seeking praise, as if to say: Look, look, wasn’t it done neatly?

“That’s not right,” Ah Bao pouted.

The dragon: ???

“You’re scaring people.”

The crowd was so terrified they didn’t even dare to move. They were already numb with fear.

“Could you be a little gentler?”

The dragon tilted its head, gentler…?

Ah Bao pondered for a moment, pursing her lips, and seriously instructed the dragon, “Follow my lead. Show your teeth…”

The dragon bared its teeth, revealing sharp fangs that were thicker than an adult’s arm—

The crowd sighed in dismay. Children in the crowd began crying, their parents hurriedly covering their mouths, afraid to make any noise that might disturb the dragon.

“That’s not right. Smile.”

The dragon showed its big teeth, then tried to smile—

“Smile! Yes, follow me. One, two, three—show your teeth, smile, and laugh!” Ah Bao demonstrated vividly. She flashed her small milk teeth with an innocent smile, looking like a cute New Year’s painting doll, making everyone’s eyes sparkle.

But the dragon, though it followed the steps correctly, ended up—

“Wowu wu wu.”

The adults in the crowd couldn’t hold back the children’s cries. One by one, they began to cry, “The little princess is cute, but the dragon isn’t. Wu wu wu.”

Suddenly, the cries filled the air.

The divine dragon, stunned and carefully looking at Ah Bao, seemed to think it had made a mistake.

“Hehe.” This time, the dragon tried to be smart and added its own sound effects, smiling as gently as it could.

As a result, it was much better than a fake smile.

The children stopped crying, and the adults were horrified. Even Di Zian, Luo Zifeng, and Di Rongjing stared wide-eyed.

“Strange, the divine dragon actually listens to the little princess,” a woman remarked in surprise.

Another woman laughed and said, “Of course, the divine dragon thinks our little princess is adorable. The princess can eat the offerings, and the divine dragon is very happy.”

“Exactly! The little princess is beautiful, kind-hearted, and innocent. Who wouldn’t praise her?”

The dragon’s smile had effectively dispelled the crowd’s fear.

The Princess Han and Di Hongluan also joined the crowd.

“Ah Bao’s luck is really good. Mother, was I this cute when I was her age?” Di Hongluan deliberately spoke loudly, ensuring everyone heard her clearly.

They immediately recalled that seven years ago, the Prince Han’s little princess was the lucky one who entered the offering hall.

That year, she was three years old, the youngest child ever to enter the offering hall, shocking the entire capital.

But today, her record was broken by the Tenth Princess.

The Princess Han patted Di Hongluan’s hand and smiled, “Seven years ago, when Luan’er was three, she was even cuter than Ah Bao. I still remember that day when you personally touched the divine dragon’s eyes while it was asleep, and the divine dragon didn’t get angry at all.”

“The divine dragon wasn’t angry because it hadn’t awakened. How could it be angry?”

The Princess Han found the voice quite familiar and turned around to see Yun Ting with his sick son.

Yun Ting had evidently improved quite a bit recently. Although he was still a bit thin, he could now stand up from bed.

“Yun Ting, speak properly!” The Princess Han frowned in displeasure.

Yun Ting glanced at her and her daughter, “Now that the divine dragon is awake, why don’t you let the little princess try touching the divine dragon’s eyes to see if it will get angry?”

“Trying to flatter yourself isn’t done like this. It seems like the little princess is envious of Ah Bao and wants to overshadow her at every turn.”
