Chapter 229: Raising the Divine Dragon’s Child

Feeling the dragons’ trembling, the Fire Nation envoy smiled, “Little Princess, how can a ball you picked up compare to our national beast’s eyes?

That’s just a useless ball, the kind no one would want even if you throw it on the street.

Look, they’re already angry. They might scare you if you provoke them.”

*Slap!*

The golden dragon flicked its tail and sent the Fire Nation envoy flying across the hall, crashing into the floor like a rag, bleeding from the mouth.

Fool!

What a useless bead—this is their father’s inner pill!

Dragon bead! Dragon bead!

The golden dragon glared at the Fire Nation envoy. What an idiot, insulting their father’s dragon bead. Deserves to be beaten!

The officials in the court: !!!

Damn!

The golden dragon has gone mad! Even attacking its own envoy.

The Fire Nation envoy was dazed, spitting blood, wondering what was wrong with the national beast.

Ah Bao smirked, glancing at the Fire Nation envoy, and extended her little hand towards the golden dragon, “Come here and let me see.”

The golden dragon didn’t want to move at first, but the girl’s hand was radiating dragon light. Ah, it couldn’t withstand the dragon light’s glare—it felt like it would be blinded.

If the girl gave a light tap, the dragon light on her hand could smash them.

It was afraid for its eyes and quickly lowered its head to the little girl.

Touch.

Little ancestor, please touch and go quickly.

Who is this girl, and why is she glowing so impressively with dragon light?

The Great Tyrant was dumbfounded!

The civil and military officials were astonished, their eyes nearly popping out.

The envoys from the other nations felt uneasy, their butts hurting from sitting. They wanted to stand up, but their legs were too weak.

The envoys from the Earth Nation and Feng Nation glared angrily at the corner where the Fire Nation envoy was bleeding.

It’s all your fault!

You insisted we sit, and now we can’t get up. What are we supposed to do?

Damn it, they just wanted to stand up.

The once-mighty golden dragon was now bowing its head to let the little princess touch it?

Without baring its teeth or making a fuss, it seemed almost like it was about to cry. What’s going on?

It couldn’t be that the golden dragon was afraid of the little princess, could it? Even imagining that was impossible.

The silver dragon and two-headed dragon, fearing the little girl might speak, took the initiative to lower their heads to let her touch them.

A bizarre scene unfolded: the once arrogant three dragons stood in front of a little girl, almost pressing their heads to the floor to make sure the princess could reach them.

“Stinky!” Ah Bao pouted and looked at the two-headed dragon, “Your mouth stinks!”

The two-headed dragon trembled with grievance. If it had known, it wouldn’t have eaten that palace maid.

“Cool Uncle says bad breath means indigestion. You need to eat light food,” Ah Bao said like a little doctor, “Eat hawthorn to improve digestion.”

The officials in the court felt like they were seeing a ghost.

They heard that these three dragons disliked sour foods, especially despising hawthorn.

Eating hawthorn could make them lose their teeth…

They couldn’t even tolerate sour flavors.

To keep these three national beasts happy and healthy, all the hawthorn trees in the country had been cut down.

“Little Princess, here’s the hawthorn you wanted.” Eunuch Xi, following the Tiansheng Emperor’s orders, had already brought all the hawthorn from the storeroom.

A full ten large baskets!

The sour smell filled the entire hall. Everyone held their foreheads in disbelief—if the two-headed dragon ate all this, it would surely lose all its teeth.

“Little Princess, our national beast doesn’t like hawthorn, especially not hawthorn,” Leng Qingliu quickly stepped forward to advise, fearing the two-headed dragon might get angry, which he couldn’t control.

National beasts are known for their tempers.

Ah Bao waved her little hand dismissively, “Wrong, wrong, it loves hawthorn the most.”

The two-headed dragon didn’t dare to look at Ah Bao. It quickly moved closer to the ten baskets of hawthorn and started chomping down on them.

It ate with great relish.

Leng Qingliu stuttered, remembering that the two-headed dragon had once caused a mountain to collapse when it smelled sour.

The officials watched, feeling as if their own teeth were going to rot from the sight.

Well then.

The two-headed dragon’s big white teeth would be ruined. It wouldn’t be able to eat people anymore, let alone meat; it would only be able to drink soup.

[Still daring to eat people in the hall and scare my father, let me not ruin your teeth!]

The Great Tyrant, hearing this thought, was moved to tears.

The feeling of being protected by his precious daughter—ah, it was simply wonderful.

Concubine De secretly smiled. It’s true that daughters are like a warm little cotton-padded jacket.

The Fire Nation envoy, no longer spitting blood, got up and stumbled over.

The Earth Nation envoy and Leng Qingliu both wished they could slap the Fire Nation envoy.

You caused trouble!

Now look, the national beasts don’t even listen to him.

“I heard you want to see the divine dragon?” Ah Bao, like a lucky child, had her eyes turned into crescent moons, looking very happy.

The three envoys:!

They were a bit at a loss for words.

But thinking of their purpose, they nodded in unison. After finishing the official business, they would quickly leave. This little princess of the Tiansheng Dynasty was toxic!

“Oh.” Ah Bao nodded.

The three envoys exchanged glances. What did the little princess’s “oh” mean?

Was she allowing them to see the dragon or not?

No.

Why should they listen to a little girl? They should be asking the Tiansheng Emperor about this.

A little child doesn’t understand anything.

The Fire Nation envoy cleared his throat, “Your Majesty, when can we ask to see the divine…”

“Smells so good.”

“So rich in chestnut aroma.”

“Crunch, crunch!”

The aroma mixed with the sourness of the hawthorn spread throughout the hall, accompanied by the crackling sounds.

Everyone noticed Ah Bao had somehow seated herself at the table, using the dragon bead as a seat. She patted her little belly, “I’m hungry…”

[It was a quick exit earlier, and I didn’t bring enough snacks. Luckily, I had prepared food in advance. I’ll chat with these three lumps of dung after I eat my fill.]

[No choice, little kids eat a lot, especially when growing.]

“The sound is coming from outside. Let’s go check what’s happening?” The Tiansheng Emperor said, secretly glancing at the little pouch Ah Bao had. Where did the snacks go?

Eunuch Xi quickly ran outside and saw a large green dragon coiled in the center of the hall, blowing spiritual fire from its mouth.

In front of the green dragon was a large iron pot filled with blackened chestnuts, sizzling and popping as they were roasted.

“Your… Your Majesty…” Eunuch Xi’s eyes were almost popping out from shock, stuck at the door, unable to go in or out.

“What’s the commotion?” The Tiansheng Emperor said, wanting to go outside to see.

However, several ministers couldn’t hold it any longer and followed out, standing at the door, motionless.

The three envoys stretched their necks, “What’s so unusual? Let us see too.”

The three of them reached the door. Leng Qingliu tugged at the Fire Nation envoy, “Look, is that… a dragon?”

The Fire Nation envoy was dumbfounded, his mouth not obeying him, “It… it seems like it.”

The Earth Nation envoy: “Seems like? It’s definitely a divine beast, the Azure Dragon! Lord Dragon! It’s blowing fire into the big pot and roasting chestnuts?”
