At this time, Xuechu was active in the underground casino and had no idea that Xiaolong at home had done something wrong.
She looked at the chips in her hand that were piled as high as a small mountain, and her narrow fox eyes flashed with dots of smiles.
"Miss, please come with me." The exquisitely dressed waiter's face was not very good-looking. He took a deep breath, as if to declare and emphasize: "...BOSS invites you."
"Oh?" Xuechu, who had been waiting for this for a long time, played with the chips in his hand and smiled.
------------------
Outside the closed room door.
Thin and mixed sounds continued to come from the gambler's mouth, covering up the traces of a certain big demon in an instant. Little Yu Laiga was blocked behind the bushes, and his skills that had not yet fully developed became blurry.
Countless sounds poured into the ears, carrying the accumulated negative emotions, and the little guy was knocked off the tree trunk with just one look.
Yulaika sniffed the scent hovering in the air and fell into confusion again: "Huh?"
He lay his short little hands on the tree trunk, probably feeling that the smell here was wrong and unpleasant, so he turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
Little Yulaijia subconsciously didn't want others to see him. After a period of adaptation, he was able to swing his tail and go where he wanted. As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to fly again. Yulai hadn't grown wings yet. Laijia quickly shuttled between the trees, even if he could no longer find his breath, he had no intention of stopping.
until……
His beautiful little dragon's tail was grabbed by a child standing under the tree.
"Huh? Where did the little dragon come from?" The older child was full of gloom. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the squeaking Yulaika, and got closer to take a closer look.
"Huh?" Yulaika didn't like the feeling of being restrained. He waved his tail and was about to run away when he was held up by the child with one hand again.
Yulaika lowered his head, feeling indescribable frustration: "Well, well..."
"Your breeder is over here?" The child, who understood what the little guy meant, gently tugged his tail and hesitated in thought.
"Well?"
"Do you know where this is? Oh, you don't know," the child said to himself, "This is a famous slum. It's a very messy place."
"Well……"
"What you mean by being left here is that your owner doesn't want you anymore."
"Uh! Uh-huh!"
"Impossible? Are all the dragons now so naive?"
The child smiled evilly, quickly wrapped his hands around the little dragon cub and hugged him into his arms, squeezing his little face and tugging at his ears, as if he had found all the fun.
Yulaikacan's golden eyes blinked tremblingly. The face of the little guy who heard these words for the first time was blank, and he couldn't even retort in his throat.
"Well……"
The little dragon cub raised his head and met the dark red eyes in front of him, blinked for two seconds, and opened his mouth to cry.
"..."
"!!!"
The shock only lasted a second.
The child suddenly lifted Yulaika up, shook him twice, and looked like he hated iron and steel, "No, are you going to cry now?"
Yulaika: "..."
Yulaika: "Wow——"
The overly high-pitched tone shocked the child who was still about to say something. The young child looked helpless. After a moment of silence, he threw the little dragon cub to the ground in disgust.
The abandoned little dragon cub wiped his tears and ran away without even looking at the complicated-looking child, wagging his tail.
At that moment, all the gloomy emotions gathered on Yulaika. The child stood there, watching him step on a branch and stagger to the ground.
"you--"
The child who witnessed all this frowned. Just as he was about to step forward and pick up the little guy who couldn't even walk, he realized that someone was one step ahead of him.
She has long hair, black pupils, fox eyes, and wears a white-gold dress, but what she reveals is an expression of Yaoji that doesn't match it.
Eyes facing each other.
The dark red pupils shrank subconsciously, and he wanted to get closer, but he stayed in place quietly like a stubborn stone.
He watched the little dragon cub being held in the woman's arms, watched the little guy who was crying just now clinging to her neck with attachment, and watched the woman pat his back unskillfully...
...It turns out to be different.
The child hid in the shadow of the tree where the sun could not be seen, and couldn't help but laugh.
He turned around hastily, wanting to speed up and leave, but when he was about to walk out of the shadow of the trees, he was stopped by a voice.
"Little gentleman, did you take care of Yu Laijia?"
The sound came from far away and was about to pierce his eardrums in an instant.
The child who was called out raised his head, obviously feeling bitter inside, but couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"We just happened to meet each other. Also, my name is Yinxi."
Yinxi nodded slightly, as if he was wearing an exquisite little dress, and every move he made was aristocratic, "It's time for me to go back, see you later."
"Well?"
Yulaika raised his head blankly when he heard the voice, and his milky-gold tail slowly flapped a few times, and even his tone was full of confusion.
"Ah, it's not possible now."
Xuechu shook his head as he looked at the system interface. Yinxi's name was unbindable gray... but what was equally strange was that it was followed by the word "temporary".
Is it because you already have a guardian?
Xuechu rubbed the little dragon cub's bulging cheeks and decided to put Yinxi's matter on hold.
"Yulaika, do you remember what I said before I went out?" Xuechu said with a half-smile, "You are very capable... you can actually come here."
——If it weren't for the big words "Yulaika is sad and continues to collapse" on the system page, she really wouldn't have expected that the little guy could come up with such a "surprise".
"Has a tail?" Xue Chu pinched it curiously.
Yulaika was still a little messy. As soon as he felt the owner's touch, his little tail wrapped around it without hesitation.
Rubbing up with his entire dragon.
Xue Chu, who had no intention of getting angry in the first place, felt weak in his heart. He pinched the little guy's powerful dragon tail in a funny way and turned over the matter without paying much attention.
"Okay, we should go back."
Yulaika shook his tail happily, and his golden eyes curved into an arc.
Yinxi, who had not left too far, stood on the hill and stared at their backs. The cold wind blowing in front of them brought a deep chill to their bones. Yinxi lowered his eyes and finally began to retreat step by step.
"Young Master, it turns out you are here."
The butler three steps away nodded, but his tone did not reveal much respect, "The Duke is waiting for you."
Yinxi raised his head, his face losing even the last trace of blood.
"Lead the way," he heard his own emotionless tone.
Even though he was walking in the sun, the coldness he felt in his body became more intense.
