The little girl made a slight noise unintentionally.
She was currently in a light sleep, and she could feel something soft beneath her.
‘It smells so good. What is this?’
She gave it a squeeze.
It was soft, and though it was a bit small, it felt particularly nice to the touch.
“Awooo~”
Zhu Qiu didn’t hesitate and took a bite.
In her mind, this kind of thing was definitely delicious.
Zhu Xiaxia watched Zhu Qiu’s cute sleeping face, rubbing her little head and smoothing her hair.
‘Why is she so cute! My precious daughter must be hungry in her sleep, which is why she’s looking for milk.’
It was a real pity.
Since she belonged to the Dragon Race, she didn’t have milk.
Her poor daughter would have to stay hungry for a while.
Once she woke up, Mother would brew a bottle for her.
Zhu Qiu felt like she hadn’t gotten anything, so she paused for a moment before taking another fierce bite.
“Awooo!”
As if triggered by a knee-jerk reaction, Zhu Xiaxia’s thigh suddenly snapped back.
This bite had hit actual flesh.
Zhu Xiaxia’s movement happened to push Zhu Qiu toward her, causing the girl’s small mouth to let go.
However, this new position was not particularly good for Zhu Qiu.
Pushed by Zhu Xiaxia, Zhu Qiu woke up.
She opened her eyes, bleary with sleep, but what appeared before her wasn’t her familiar pillow or the ceiling.
Instead… it was Zhu Xiaxia’s face.
And at this moment, Zhu Qiu’s mouth was pressed right against Zhu Xiaxia’s.
!
!!
!!!
“Zhu Xiaxia, what are you doing!!!”
Zhu Qiu was so startled that she rolled away, tumbling off the bed along with the blanket.
“Oh my!”
Zhu Xiaxia quickly picked Zhu Qiu up, patting her back to comfort her.
“Don’t cry, precious daughter~ Mother is here~”
“Wah, wah, wah, wah! Zhu Xiaxia, you’re disgusting! Don’t you know that men and women shouldn’t be so close? You actually attacked me while I was sleeping. You… you… you really have no shame!”
Zhu Qiu desperately wanted to give Zhu Xiaxia a harsh scolding, but it seemed she had forgotten most of the vocabulary for that part of her brain.
“Has my daughter not fully woken up yet? We are mother and daughter; this kind of thing is perfectly normal. Besides, my daughter was the one who started this~”
“?”
“How could I do something like that? It was clearly you who intentionally tried to do something bad, and now you’re framing me! Zhu Xiaxia is truly a big, bad dragon! Bad, bad, bad!”
“Is that so~” With a smile, Zhu Xiaxia pointed to her arm, where a faint tooth mark was visible. “Take a look at this. This is the evidence that my daughter was hungry just now and wanted something to eat from Mother~”
“!”
Zhu Qiu looked in the direction Zhu Xiaxia was pointing, and it was indeed true.
“Oh dear, Zhu Qiu is actually peeking at Mother. How embarrassing~”
“Huh?”
Realizing what was happening, Zhu Qiu immediately covered her eyes.
Wait, why wasn’t Zhu Xiaxia wearing any clothes while sleeping!
It was over! She had been fooled by Zhu Xiaxia again.
She had fallen into another trap.
“My daughter says she’s an adult, but in her heart, she’s still just a child~”
“I am… I am not! I am the Human Sword Saint!”
“That’s not right~ Zhu Qiu is Mother’s good daughter. Not only did you instinctively seek out Mother for some nainai while you were sleeping, but you also really like sleeping with Mother~”
“I didn’t! I didn’t! You’re talking nonsense!!”
“Mother wouldn’t talk nonsense. Look at the clothes you’re wearing; Mother bought all of them for you~ Isn’t that enough proof?”
Zhu Qiu subconsciously lowered her head.
The white children’s camisole dress she had been wearing had turned into a pink one.
“See? Last time you said you wanted new clothes, and Mother remembered. You like them too, don’t you, daughter~”
Zhu Xiaxia did indeed remember that, but these weren’t the kind of new clothes she wanted!
“Zhu Xiaxia! I don’t like dresses at all! You forced me to wear all of this!”
“Oh~ is that so~ If my daughter doesn’t like it, you can just take it off, right?”
“…”
Zhu Qiu’s explanation meant nothing to Zhu Xiaxia.
She wanted to argue, but if she did, she would have to take the clothes off.
Knowing Zhu Xiaxia’s personality, she certainly hadn’t prepared any other clothes.
So, she either had to be naked or admit she liked the dress.
Why did Zhu Xiaxia always come up with these impossible dilemmas!
She really was a wicked Dragon King!
Zhu Xiaxia knew Zhu Qiu was speechless.
To soothe her daughter’s heart, she took the opportunity to state her next requirement.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about this. It’s time to get up. My precious daughter, go wash up and get ready for breakfast. Mother needs to get dressed; I have things to do in a bit~”
Zhu Xiaxia placed Zhu Qiu on the floor and prepared to put on her clothes.
‘Hmph! Zhu Xiaxia definitely wants to send me away. I’m going to stay here on purpose.’
“Does my daughter want to stay here to try on Mother’s clothes and experience what it’s like to be an adult… or do you want to keep looking at Mother’s graceful figure~”
“Who wants to look at you!”
This woman, Zhu Xiaxia, really would say anything!
Run, run! She truly was a perverted dragon.
Zhu Qiu scurried out of the room and went to wash up obediently.
During breakfast, Zhu Xiaxia brewed milk for Zhu Qiu as usual.
“Good daughter, it’s time to eat~”
“Hmph!”
Zhu Qiu reluctantly took the Custom Baby Bottle and started eating.
The person she disliked was Zhu Xiaxia, not the food, so there was no need to take her anger out on her meal.
“Daughter, I said before that the punishment would be doubled,” Zhu Xiaxia suddenly brought the matter up.
“But the intensity of the punishment last night was far from enough. Therefore, the punishment isn’t over yet~”
“What?!”
Zhu Qiu looked at Zhu Xiaxia in disbelief.
“Again?!”
She really didn’t want to be handled by Zhu Xiaxia anymore!
Besides, the feeling of her tail being grabbed… “Uugh”… it was so humiliating.
“However, such a punishment is too much of an ordeal for my daughter. So, I’ve decided to cancel it.”
“Cancel it?”
“Yes, yes, yes! That’s exactly right! It must be canceled!”
Zhu Qiu nodded hurriedly, even forgetting to drink her milk.
“Since the punishment is canceled, shouldn’t my daughter show some appreciation? For example, by proactively following Mother’s arrangements.”
Arrangements?
Hearing the condition Zhu Xiaxia proposed, it seemed like a trivial matter compared to that mental and physical torture.
It was just an arrangement.
Zhu Xiaxia surely wouldn’t ask her to do anything too outrageous.
Since she was just a young dragon in Zhu Xiaxia’s eyes, what kind of arrangement could there be?
At most, it would be washing some vegetables.
“Fine! I agree.”
Zhu Qiu’s mood relaxed, and she went back to her food.
She had finally escaped Zhu Xiaxia’s demonic punishment.
A short while later, just as Zhu Qiu finished eating, she was pulled by Zhu Xiaxia into that large, empty room.
Zhu Qiu was told to stand on the carpet in the middle of the room.
“Zhu Xiaxia, what are you doing now?”
“It’s the arrangement. My daughter already said yes.”
“Then what kind of arrangement is this? Why did you bring me here?”
“Naturally, it’s to teach my daughter Etiquette~”
“Huh?”
“My daughter wouldn’t want to go back on her word, would she? Dishonest children need to be punished~”
Now, whenever she heard the word ‘punishment,’ her whole body went numb.
‘Zhu Qiu, you don’t want to be whimpering while Zhu Xiaxia squeezes your tail, do you?’
“I… I’ll learn, okay…”
