Chapter 218: Ah Bao, My Lord

“Concubine De, Concubine Chun, where are Ah Bao, An’er, and Jing’er? Why aren’t they here?”

As Concubine De and Concubine Chun hesitated on what to say, bursts of laughter and joy came from the air.

“Dad! I’m over here! Right here!”

The tyrant emperor felt bewildered, thinking he must be hallucinating. He couldn’t see Di Zian, but he heard his voice very close…

“Uh…” Concubine De also pointed upwards.

A green shadow flashed before the tyrant emperor’s eyes. He looked up and saw Di Zian waving at him.

The tyrant emperor’s eyes widened in shock. “The divine dragon…”

It was flying.

Di Zian, that little rascal, was actually sitting on the divine dragon’s back!!!

This kid, he’s gone mad…

Before the tyrant emperor could fully process this, the white mist parted, revealing a row of people.

Seven-year-old Di Rongjing, who was notoriously timid, still managed to show a white-faced grin, clearly forced into this by Di Zian.

And Luo Zifeng, Ah Bao… until he saw the whole dragon and the group of children having the time of their lives.

The tyrant emperor’s eyes were drawn to what seemed to be something underneath Ah Bao’s bottom.

“Where did Ah Bao get such a shiny little stool?” The tyrant emperor’s eyes widened. He wondered if Ah Bao was using the divine dragon’s back as a seat.

Concubine De smiled wryly, clearing her throat, “Um… it’s not a stool.”

“Then what is she sitting on?”

“The dragon pearl,” Concubine De lowered her gaze.

The tyrant emperor shuddered, “What? A dragon pearl!”

It was a treasure more valuable than the imperial seal, the divine dragon’s inner elixir, a legendary divine object!!!

Ah Bao was using it as a seat?!

What’s more, the divine dragon was flying in smooth circles in the air, as if afraid of shaking the children.

“Rumor has it that the divine dragon has a volatile temper, summoning wind and rain…” The tyrant emperor’s mouth twitched. His gaze was fixed on Ah Bao, his expression filled with deep admiration, as if looking at an unparalleled treasure.

Ah Bao was a miraculous child!

Since Ah Bao arrived, the Tiansheng Dynasty had changed. She was his hope and the hope of the entire Tiansheng Dynasty.

“Dad.” After playing several rounds, Ah Bao grew tired.

When the divine dragon landed, all the citizens of the capital had already kneeled, paying homage to the divine dragon.

The divine dragon, afraid of Ah Bao falling, extended its head as soon as she made a move, allowing her to step down from its noble head and run towards the tyrant emperor.

The tyrant emperor’s eyes were filled with the divine dragon’s image. Seeing the divine dragon so close was a first for him!

The azure dragon of the Seven Kingdoms on rotation.

It wasn’t until a gentle light emanated from Ah Bao’s arms that the tyrant emperor saw the ball she was holding.

No, to be precise, it was the dragon pearl.

The dragon pearl was enormous and dazzling, emitting a white light that wasn’t blinding but rather had a cold, moonlit beauty.

Just standing there, the tyrant emperor could feel the powerful spiritual energy of the dragon pearl, like a clear spring that could cleanse all sins and darkness.

“Dad, here’s a gift for you.” Ah Bao, noticing the tyrant emperor’s fascination with the dragon pearl, grinned and extended it forward.

The tyrant emperor was so frightened his limbs went weak, his lips trembling.

He saw the dragon pearl reflected in his eyes…

He felt a sharp gaze fixed on him. Looking up, he met the divine dragon’s gaze.

Was the dragon… angry??

Ah Bao furrowed her little brows, turned to the divine dragon with her hands on her hips, and gave a fierce look. “Hmm?”

【Is this dragon glaring at my dad?】

【It dares!】

The divine dragon leaned closer to Ah Bao, with its eyes crinkling in a smile, looking playful and eager to please.

It was impossible to provoke.

Absolutely impossible.

This was its long-searched-for little master.

Even if the little master wanted to crush its inner elixir into powder, it would still offer it willingly.

Give, give, give!

As long as you like it, even if you tear me apart to give it away, it’s fine.

Though neither spoke, the tyrant emperor’s gaze was sharp. He gently ruffled Ah Bao’s two little pigtails. “This thing is too valuable to accept. I appreciate my precious daughter’s intentions. You keep it for now.”

Since the divine dragon dared to give the dragon pearl to Ah Bao, it meant that Ah Bao was special to it.

He would not interfere with matters between Ah Bao and the divine dragon.

【Alright then, I’ll play with the dragon pearl for a few days before returning it to the divine dragon.】

Seeing the crowd of people kneeling on the ground, Ah Bao scratched her head, a flash of light passing through her eyes. “Hua Hua…”

The divine dragon was so frightened its whiskers almost straightened out.

Could it be?

This little girl recognized it?

No, please not!

She might throw it away!

“I used to have a little insect that I called Huahua.”

The divine dragon shuddered.

“I see you look a bit like it. You don’t have a name yet, right?”

The divine dragon tilted its head and shook it, indicating no.

The crowd was trembling.

The divine dragon had a name, just “divine dragon.” The little princess wouldn’t be planning to name the divine dragon, would she?

“Then from now on, you’ll be called Huahua.”

Huahua…

The divine dragon was a bit afraid of this name. It truly feared that one day the little girl would recognize it. This name was like a ticking time bomb!

“Don’t you like it?” Ah Bao noticed the divine dragon’s hesitation.

The divine dragon quickly shook its head, indicating that it liked it very much. It was willing to be called anything, even “Huahua,” without any issue.

Well, if that’s what you want, you can call me whatever you like. Even if you call me a pile of dung, I would still like it.

Ah Bao smiled with narrowed eyes. “It’s good you like it. Huahua, cute and majestic, suits you well!”

The people kneeling on the ground were astonished!

Huahua… Huahua?

What kind of name is that? Does Huahua sound as imposing as the divine dragon? Does it carry the divine dragon’s majesty?

But did they dare to voice any objections?

No, they didn’t!

The divine dragon was still smiling foolishly over there. They feared that if they spoke up, the divine dragon might just sit on them.

Ah Bao was very satisfied with the name she gave the divine dragon. She patted its golden dragon horns. “I used to have a Huahua too. If it were still alive, it might be as big as you now. I wonder how it’s doing…”

It’s dead, it’s definitely dead!

The divine dragon wished it could speak. Little ancestor, please don’t think about your old Huahua anymore. Just look at the Huahua right in front of you.

“By the way, I need to discuss something with you…”

The divine dragon shrank back, almost disappearing.

The familiar look, the familiar words.

Yes, that’s how the little girl started years ago, and then, she no longer wanted it.

The divine dragon whimpered sadly, wondering if it was fated to be abandoned like all the other Huahua.
