Seeing the Dragon Race member before him suddenly vanish, Sodlan rubbed his eyes, faintly suspecting he had seen wrong.
“What in the world was that?”
He couldn’t understand it and even began to suspect he was hallucinating.
He had waited at the door for his son, but instead of his son, a Dragon Cub had shown up?
The Dragon Cub had even called him Father?
And it was so familiar, and now it had suddenly disappeared.
What was going on with this world?
Was there no justice left!
Sodlan pressed his hands to his head, feeling like his brain was about to explode.
“I must still be dreaming. Yes, that has to be it.”
He went back to bed and pulled the covers over his head.
“Wake up from this dream already. I hope I never have a dream like this again. No, no, no, it must have been an illusion. It definitely must have been an illusion. Maybe…”
Inside the Dragon Race Imperial Palace, Zhu Qiu hurriedly rushed back to her room.
Luckily, she found the necklace under her pillow.
After putting it on, Zhu Qiu immediately retraced her steps.
“Phew… That scared me. I thought I’d lost it.”
She had to explain things quickly now.
The longer she dragged it out, the harder it would be to explain.
She also needed to think of the right words to dispel her father’s thoughts about the Dragon Race.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Qiu was back on the ground.
She pushed the door open and walked inside.
She called out loudly into the house, “Father, I’m back!”
Sodlan, who hadn’t fallen asleep yet inside the room, heard the familiar voice and quickly got out of bed and came out.
“My son, you’re finally back. I was so worried.”
Sodlan sighed in relief.
“You know, just now I had a dream. I dreamed a Dragon Race member came to me and kept calling me Father. I felt like my entire worldview was about to shatter. It’s a good thing you’re back. All of that was just a dream, nothing more.”
Hearing her father attribute everything that had just happened to a dream, Zhu Qiu’s anxious heart finally settled down.
The prepared excuses she had ready were no longer needed.
“Hahaha, it’s fine as long as you’re okay. I might be a bit busy during the day, so I can only bring you food at mealtimes. If you see food on the table, it’s definitely from me. Only worry if there’s nothing at mealtime one day.”
Zhu Qiu didn’t want her father to worry about her.
“Okay, okay.”
Sodlan thumped his chest, trying to calm his agitated heart.
“By the way, did you bring the seeds I asked for?”
“Seeds?”
…It seemed like recently, all she’d been thinking about was eating, and she’d completely forgotten about everything else.
“I’ll go get some right now. Since I’m fine now, Father, you should eat your breakfast quickly. The meat buns I brought for you are on the table.”
“Alright.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Qiu hurriedly left the house.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I won’t let Father worry.”
After comforting herself, she headed straight for the Dragon Race Imperial Palace.
Only Sodlan remained in the house.
He looked at the meat buns on the table.
Just as he was about to pick one up to eat, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
This bun… why does it seem like I’ve seen it somewhere before?
It looks like the one that little dragon in my dream was holding!
Sodlan’s hand, which had been raising the bun to his mouth, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Something’s wrong.
Something’s very wrong!
Maybe… that wasn’t a dream at all!
Based on Sodlan’s understanding, things you’ve never seen before don’t appear in dreams.
Since he had never seen a Dragon Race member, how could he dream of their true appearance?
Even if it were a prophetic dream, shouldn’t the content of the dream be complete?
Moreover, that little dragon brought him a bun, and his son also brought him a bun.
Isn’t that a bit too coincidental?
All sorts of suspicions surfaced in Sodlan’s mind.
He began trying to construct a complete logical chain.
Once suspicion arises, it’s hard to dispel.
Sodlan had already begun to suspect something was wrong with his son.
Next, he planned to spend time answering the questions in his own mind.
Inside the Dragon Race Imperial Palace, Zhu Qiu had returned again.
Making all these trips back and forth didn’t tire her out at all; her spirits were still high.
Because she was flying, it only consumed Magic Power, not physical stamina.
She had just been scared because she forgot her necklace, but everything should be fine now.
“Zhu Xiaxia, do you have any plant seeds? Preferably the kind that grows fast and produces a lot of food?”
Zhu Xiaxia, who was busy studying recipes in the Kitchen, quickly replied, “If you’re looking for seeds, there’s a box in the corner of the Ingredient Storehouse. Mother is busy right now, so you’ll have to look for it yourself. If you can’t find it, come find me.”
The Ingredient Storehouse?
Zhu Qiu had been there once before; she knew where it was.
“Mother, has Xiaguang not woken up yet?”
“That’s right, so today’s breakfast is still being prepared by Mother~”
“I’ve already eaten. You can leave all the breakfast for little Xiaguang. She hasn’t eaten all night, so she should be hungry. It’s a good chance for her to help you test the taste.”
“That’s fine. But if my daughter wants some, Mother will still save some for you.”
“No, no, I need to get busy. See you later.”
After politely refusing, Zhu Qiu first went to the wardrobe and found a cotton-padded jacket to put on, then slowly made her way to the entrance of the Ingredient Storehouse.
As soon as she opened the door, a wave of cold air hit her.
“Last time I almost froze to death. This time I came prepared.”
Zhu Qiu rummaged through the storehouse and finally fixed her gaze on a box in the corner.
The items inside the box emitted a faint purple light.
“These things look a lot like seeds. I’ll pack them all up and take them. Father will definitely like them, hehe~”
She found it inconvenient to pack them up, so she simply carried the entire box out.
“Zhu Xiaxia! I’m going out for a bit. I’ll be back soon!”
“Okay~”
After saying goodbye, she flew straight towards the house on the ground.
The Dragon Race Second Largest District, the Nidege Family.
Ilanka, urged by her father Nidege, had gotten up early.
At the moment, she was flying through the sky in her Dragon Form, her eyes glancing down at the ground from time to time, as if searching for something.
“Father is really something. He makes me set off right after finishing breakfast. Couldn’t he give me a little time to digest? Being a little late wouldn’t kill anyone.”
What she was looking for were the not-fully-evolved Wild Dragons that Nidege had mentioned, to practice her combat skills.
However, even though Ilanka had an extremely wide field of vision from high altitude, she didn’t spot any conspicuous creatures.
Probably because those dragons are green, blending in with the earth, making them hard to distinguish.
With no other choice, she could only lower her Flight altitude, sacrificing her field of view to improve her observation precision.
Before long, she really did spot something different.
But… this didn’t seem to be her target.
Oh well, let’s take a look first.
Curious, Ilanka decided to land on the ground to investigate.
