Chapter 217: Play with the Dragon Pearl

Di Hongluan was fuming, glaring at Yun Ting through her white veil. She hadn’t done anything to provoke Yun Ting, so why was Yun Ting always defending Ah Bao and confronting her?

She really wanted to scold Yun Ting. It was no wonder even her own man couldn’t keep her in check. If she were Zhao Yin, she’d have divorced Yun Ting!

“I know, you want to scold me and the little princess,” Yun Ting said with a grin, winking. After living for so many years, she could easily read a child’s mind.

Di Hongluan, the little princess, was indeed remarkable.

But Yun Ting was convinced that the anomaly belonged to the little princess. The divine dragon had been awakened by the little princess. The little princess was the one destined for great fortune in the Tiansheng Dynasty.

She would protect the little princess well and wouldn’t let Di Hongluan tarnish her reputation.

“Look, look! The little princess is touching the divine dragon’s eyes!”

“Oh my God! The divine dragon shouldn’t be angry, right?”

“The little princess is so brave.”

“…”

Ah Bao loved shiny, sparkling things. After eating and drinking her fill, she patted her little belly and noticed the divine dragon’s shimmering pupils. “Is that a dragon pearl in there?”

【I heard dragon pearls are super shiny! I really want to see.】

Luo Zifeng immediately grabbed Di Zian’s hand.

Both of them instinctively shivered.

Di Zian swallowed nervously, “Zifeng, why are you holding my hand?”

“Why are you trembling?”

“I’m scared. Ah Bao is looking for the dragon pearl…” Di Zian held his forehead.

Luo Zifeng frowned, “I’m scared too. Do you think the divine dragon will mind Ah Bao saying that? After all, she’s just a child. Kids speak without thinking… Ah!”

Luo Zifeng screamed.

Di Zian and Di Rongjing were startled.

The divine dragon opened its mouth, and a shiny, glowing pearl of white light was ejected from its mouth.

It obediently landed in Ah Bao’s arms.

“Play with it.”

Luo Zifeng, trembling, pointed ahead, “Zi’an, Zi’an, look, is that a dragon…dragon pearl?”

“It looks like it. Dad, Mom, I’ve made it big; it looks like we’ve seen the dragon pearl!!” Di Zian’s eyes widened, afraid that the pearl might disappear if he blinked.

The dragon pearl was even bigger than Ah Bao’s head.

Ah Bao cradled it in her arms like a giant ball.

Ah Bao’s eyes were full of sparkling light. “So beautiful…”

Everyone was incredulous. The appearance of the dragon pearl seemed to be blinding their titanium alloy eyes.

The little princess simply said: beautiful?

A dragon pearl—how could that be just beautiful!

“Let me play with it? You said so.” Ah Bao’s eyes sparkled with joy as she hugged the dragon pearl, her mouth curving into an involuntary smile.

The divine dragon nodded. She was happy! She was smiling!

Not to mention one dragon pearl; if she wanted a pair of eyes, it would give them to her!

“Kids, come over here!” Ah Bao called to the crowd. Immediately, a swarm of children rushed forward.

The leaders were Fat Tiger and Er Gouzi.

“Everyone, touch it, touch it. It will cure all illnesses and open your wisdom.”

【Dragon pearls are treasures. Touching them will remove diseases and bring blessings.】

Ah Bao was surrounded by children, each with wide eyes, seeing a dragon pearl for the first time!

Di Hongluan watched with envy.

She also wanted to experience the dragon pearl’s spiritual energy. She had heard that it could prolong life and cure all ailments.

If she could touch it, her facial swelling might disappear.

Determined to improve her appearance, Di Hongluan gritted her teeth and fought for it!

She squeezed forward, “Let me touch it too, just once.”

Just a touch, and the pain on her face would be gone.

The dragon pearl was more effective than her own medicinal pills. This was a spiritual item with inherent energy, and its effects were stronger and faster.

As Di Hongluan was almost within a centimeter of touching the dragon pearl, Ah Bao curved her lips and took a small step to the side.

Di Hongluan missed!

Ah Bao looked at the divine dragon, tilted her little head, and muttered something to the dragon. The dragon nodded.

Ah Bao smiled, “Shall I take everyone for a ride?”

The children all nodded vigorously, “Big Boss is awesome!”

“Big Boss, we want to fly.”

“Big Boss, how do we fly?”

Ah Bao waved her little hand at the divine dragon. The dragon lay down, and Ah Bao climbed onto its back, sitting on it. The little girl waved at the crowd, “Come on, come over here.”

The children: !!!

“Ah! My dear mother, I’ve made it big; I’m actually sitting on the dragon’s back.”

“Wu wu wu, so excited, it’s both thrilling and terrifying.”

A group of children, obedient and curious, lined up to climb onto the divine dragon’s back.

Luo Zifeng felt his eyes were not enough today, with astonishing events happening one after another. His heart was pounding, “Zi’an, are they… sitting on the divine dragon’s back?”

“Cough, I’m not blind. I can see.”

“Ah ah ah!” Luo Zifeng excitedly gripped Di Zian’s hand.

Di Zian’s face turned red from the pain, “Calm down, you’re so excited, don’t pinch me.”

“Let me know this isn’t a dream!” With a ‘smack,’ Luo Zifeng slapped Di Zian’s face, “Di Zian, my hand hurts. This is real, not a dream!”

Di Zian rolled his eyes in exasperation, “Am I the only one having bad luck?”

“On the second day of the second month, everyone is rowing dragon boats. But Ah Bao is riding on the dragon’s body.” Luo Zifeng, unable to contain his excitement, leaned closer, “Ah Bao, can you take me too?”

“Sure, sure, Big Brother, Seven Brother, Nine Brother, come on, quickly.”

The divine dragon was as large as it needed to be. With a whole group of children sitting on its back, there was still plenty of space.

Luo Zifeng and Di Zian also made no hesitation and climbed onto the dragon’s body with Di Rongjing.

The divine dragon took off into the sky.

Amidst the misty white clouds, it felt like floating within the layers of the clouds, giving a breathtaking and thrilling view from above.

“So much fun, so much fun, hahaha!”

“Wow, so thrilling, so happy, Big Boss is amazing!”

“…”

The sky was filled with the children’s joyful laughter and cheers.

The citizens below couldn’t believe their eyes. This second day of the second month was extraordinary, and they were so happy.

Having Ah Bao around was their blessing.

The Palace.

At the moment the divine dragon awakened, the tyrant emperor received the news and rushed to the outer palace shrine to witness the dragon’s grandeur.

When the tyrant emperor arrived with the civil and military officials, there was no trace of the divine dragon to be found at the shrine.

“Concubine De, where is the divine dragon?” The tyrant emperor spotted Concubine De and Concubine Chun among the crowd.

Concubine De cleared her throat and pointed upwards.

The tyrant emperor looked up, but saw nothing.

Looking around at the citizens, they were all gazing upwards as well.

“Has the divine dragon flown away?” The tyrant emperor couldn’t believe it. Did the divine dragon abandon the Tiansheng Dynasty just like that?

The tyrant emperor felt a flash of green light and, upon focusing again, saw another green shadow.

Uh…

The tyrant emperor was stunned.

It seemed he had just heard Ah Bao’s laughter, and Di Zian’s, too!
