DADH Chapter 46

After recognizing the identities of the two little ones, Hesse let out a snort from its nostrils, almost blowing the two little fellows away with the scorching hot dragon breath it expelled.

The scorching, fierce hot wind and the terrifying pressure that came from the side finally caught the attention of the two small creatures who were fully engaged in their fight. Their hands, previously pushing each other in a frenzy, began to move in slow motion as their owners turned their gaze simultaneously, and their movements froze.

Oh no! They’ve been found out.

Under the “Dragon’s Gaze” from the gigantic dragon’s eyes, the two little fellows froze in place, as if they had turned into wooden figures, unable to move a muscle.

Jing Nian stood on the dragon’s head, examining the two “little statues” before him.

They weren’t actually real people.

One of them was a little skeleton wearing a black cloak. Facing the scrutiny of the large dragon, the small skeleton’s “eyes” were currently emitting black smoke uncontrollably due to fear.

The little skeleton noticed that the black smoke was leaking and tried hard to restrain it. However, under the pressure of the ancient dragon and its gaze, it dared not make any sudden movements, causing its tiny bones to tremble.

The other one was a small holy creature in a red cloak, and it was equally frightened. Although the appearance of the holy creature was similar to that of a human child, its completely golden eyes without pupils or whites revealed its non-human identity.

Facing the dragon’s pressure, although it didn’t fall apart like the little skeleton, the golden light in its eyes was on the verge of dissipating.

Four pairs of eyes stared at each other in silence.

The two little fellows finally realized they had been caught red-handed.

Remembering the warnings they had received – not to let the dragons discover their presence and, even more importantly, not to let the dragons know their identities – the two attempted to bluff their way through.

The holy creature widened its strange eyes that lacked any human emotions and spoke in a childish voice, “We~ were just~ passing~ by~~~”

The little skeleton continued to widen its black, leaky eye sockets and hurriedly used fragmented breathy sounds to follow, “Ah~ (we)~ Ah~ (were)~ Ah~ (just)~ Ah~ (passing)~”

After speaking, the two tilted their heads and blinked their pitiful, cute, and innocent eyes – if only they had normal eyes…

Although they lacked normal eyes, Jing Nian still detected a subtle familiarity in their behavior. It seemed like they were trying to imitate the Mini Street gang of kids.

Despite appearing eerie at first glance, their efforts to be cute, enhanced by their two-headed bodies, made them look quite adorable.

Of course, if it weren’t for the overwhelming dark and light auras emanating from them.

Jing Nian: “…”

Even the dark witch and the light divine envoy who had visited the Dragon Clan before didn’t emit auras as intense as these two.

These two could not possibly have simple identities.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Hesse, who had recognized the two little fellows and noticed their distress, spoke up.

“The Son of Light and the Skeleton King, why are you here?”

This time, the dragon’s breath no longer suppressed them, and it blasted the two little beings against the wall with a loud “boom.”

Hesse almost instantly saw through the tricks of the Temple of Light and the Undead Temple.

They had done it on purpose!

Because there had been frequent accidents on the continent recently, and the power of time and space had become increasingly chaotic. Even the areas affected by temporal chaos were gradually expanding in line with the activities of those “outsiders.” It was foreseeable that the Temple of Light and the Undead Temple would eventually be affected, so they were no longer entirely safe.

At present, the only places on Grans where one could consider themselves completely safe were probably the ancestral land of the dragons and… the White Tower. However, the White Tower was a place even the dragons hesitated to enter.

So, they had no choice but to hide the Son of Light and the Skeleton King within the territory of the dragon clan, waiting for the crisis to pass while secretly sneaking into the dragon’s ancestral land!

Unbelievable!

While Hesse explained to Jing Nian, he couldn’t help but express his displeasure. Those cunning fellows from the Temple of Light and the Undead Temple were truly shameless!

Jing Nian: “…”

Jing Nian was left speechless after hearing the explanation. So, the Son of Light and the Skeleton King are currently two little babies?

Among the three top powers on the Grans continent – the dragons and the two temples – he had originally thought that having a dragon clan’s ultimate “BOSS” as a little dragon baby was already unusual.

Now, he was being told that the ultimate “BOSSes” of both temples were also two little babies…

Thinking about the naturally hostile relationship between BOSSes and players, Jing Nian couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Jing Nian: “…”

Playing ball, indeed.

Seeing his little dragon baby show curiosity about the Son of Light and the Skeleton King, Hesse reluctantly toned down the dragon’s imposing aura. The two little beings, who had been blown against the wall, finally managed to clumsily remove their hoods, revealing their pitiful little heads.

Then, the gazes of these two little beings slowly turned towards the other little being on top of the dragon’s head, and at that moment, an aura of joy burst forth from their “eyes” simultaneously.

They recognized Jing Nian; he was the patient older brother who spent time with the little kids!

Although these two had been instructed before being sent into the dragon clan that “dragons are despicable and frightening creatures,” every time Jing Nian played with the children in Mini Street, they secretly hid and watched, full of envy.

They wanted this older brother too!

Jing Nian met the two pairs of “admiring eyes” that couldn’t be concealed and very precisely sensed that their gazes were directed through the little dragon baby’s body toward him, not toward the little dragon baby. He found it quite strange.

First, why did these two seem to see through the little dragon baby’s body and look directly at the two souls inside, focusing on him so accurately?

Second, why did these two beings, meeting him for the first time, appear to like him so much?

For a moment, the scene fell into silence once again.

The two little babies initially thought, “The dragon discovered us, and it’s really angry and frightening!” However, when they realized that Jing Nian wasn’t angry with them, they became even happier.

Although the two exchanged glances and, without planning it, looked at Jing Nian’s “soul” in sync, they confirmed that this older brother was not a dragon!

So, did that mean they didn’t have to follow the rule of “not approaching dragons”?

Yes! The two of them exchanged excited glances again, completely forgetting their previous grievances, held hands intimately, and then shyly gazed at Jing Nian together.

Although he didn’t understand what was going on, Jing Nian accurately grasped the meaning of the two little beings. Jing Nian, with a bemused expression: “…”

Inside the Dragon Soul Space, the little dragon baby, who also understood the intentions of the two little beings, suddenly sensed a certain crisis. It climbed into Jing Nian’s arms, adjusting its posture carefully, and became even more vigilant, fixing its gaze on the two beings that were giving it a sense of danger.

After some thought, the little dragon baby tried to please Jing Nian by offering the heart-shaped decoration on its tail into his palm, nudging it gently.

“For you to play with~”

Jin Nnian reflexively pinched the soft heart-shaped decoration and only then realized that the little dragon baby in his arms was about to explode in anger.

Although dragon tails could sometimes be used as weapons, they were generally sensitive. For example, the tail of the little dragon baby could intimately wrap around Jing Nian’s wrist, but not the tip of its tail. Pinching the tail tip felt as ticklish as tickling a human’s foot, and it was hard to endure.

However, this time, the little dragon baby trembled but managed to hold back, even encouraging Jing Nian with a determined look, nudging the tip of its tail into Jing Nian’s palm, as if urging him to continue.

Jing Nian: “…” I don’t understand.

But he couldn’t resist the pleasant sensation, so he pinched it again. When he saw the little dragon baby enduring until it felt ticklish to the point of tears, Jing Nian couldn’t help but smile.

In the next moment, Jing Nian understood why the little dragon baby had suddenly acted strangely. It was because the little dragon baby, who had also noticed that the Son of Light and the Skeleton King could directly see the two souls of Jing Nian and the little dragon baby, had this motive.

Especially after making Jing Nian laugh and getting his head petted, the little dragon baby suddenly turned its gaze towards the two opposite beings with a look of pride.

‘Did you see that?’

‘This is mine!’

‘Don’t even think about it!’

Jing Nian: “…” So, all this sacrifice was for the sake of competing for favor!

As expected of you, Long Ao Tian!

Sure enough, the competitiveness between the two little beings had been suddenly ignited.

After receiving the provocation from the little dragon baby, the two opposite beings exchanged a glance and then looked toward Jing Nian with even more pitiful and aggrieved “looks.”

In the eyes of the Son of Light baby, the gleam turned into golden tears that dripped down one by one. In the eye sockets of the Skeleton King baby, the black aura condensed into black tears, and the two little beings clung to each other, appearing somewhat fussy.

“Wuwu… We just wanted to play with big brother.” / “Ahhh~ Wuwuwu…”

The triumphant look in the little dragon baby’s eyes dimmed as it had prepared to come out and fight them if they dared to come closer.

But why were they crying!?

Wasn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Jing Nian couldn’t stand to see little ones cry the most! This wouldn’t do!

As expected, the dragons were right! Both of these individuals, bathed in the aura of light and darkness, were the most annoying and cunning!

So, the little dragon baby pouted, ready to face them head-on and make them cry!

Quick as lightning, Jing Nian covered the little dragon baby’s mouth, successfully preventing another round of dragon clan unrest. At the same time, he gently patted and comforted the baby dragon’s back with his hand.

While patting, Jing Nian cooed, “Only Ao Ao is my favorite baby. Don’t cry, you’re not three months old anymore, you’ve grown up, you’re three months and ten days old now!”

The little dragon baby lifted its head from Jing Nian’s neck with a hopeful look: “Really?”

Jing Nian nodded with absolute certainty: “Really! More precious than gold!”

Ao Ao looked at Jing Nian shyly: “Have I really grown up?”

Jing Nian chuckled: ‘Oh, did your attention wander just like that?’

But he said seriously, “Really! It’s been a full one hundred days; you’re a big dragon now!”

Finally, Long Ao Tian felt content.

As for the two pitiful, “crying with their heads in their arms” little babies, while Jing Nian couldn’t help but sympathize with them, there was still a difference in closeness, and he could understand… right?

And then, when the two realized that their fake tears weren’t working, and it seemed like they were actually helping the little dragon baby, they finally gave up the act, hanging their small heads in defeat.

The battle between the babies had started and ended in the most inexplicable way. Even Hesse, who was observing from close range, was a bit puzzled, not to mention the several covertly watching eyes from inside the window.

After this incident, Jing Nian’s mood became even more complex.

The top three giants of the continent had turned into two cowards, and there was also the little dragon baby who was a crybaby…

Initially, he had only been worried about the future of the dragon clan, but now…

Jing Nian had a headache.

In the Dragon Soul Space, while the little dragon baby didn’t know exactly what Jing Nian was thinking, it did understand the last part of his consciousness.

Another coward and crybaby!

“Hmph~”

The little dragon baby understood this and, just as it had been comforted, it started to become restless. It gave Jing Nian a little push with its small bottom and then turned its back, indicating that it was unhappy. However, since there were still two watchful “enemies” outside, the little dragon baby didn’t forget to firmly coil its tail around Jing Nian’s wrist even as it displayed its anger by turning away.

Jing Nian: “…” See, he’s both a coward and a crybaby, and he won’t admit it.

But as their relationship became closer and the connection between their consciousness grew stronger, Jing Nian quickly suppressed his true thoughts. He skillfully praised the little dragon baby and even gave a nod to the two newcomers he had just met, finally soothing his precious little one.

As a result, because of Jing Nian’s intimate interaction with the baby dragon, the two on the other side became even more dejected.

So, “dragons” really don’t like them!

Even the “humanoid” dragons!

Whimper…

Jing Nian: “…”

Really, the future of the Grans Continent… Stop! I can’t think about it anymore!

At this moment, the countless pairs of eyes peeking through the window couldn’t hold back any longer. Someone, not sure who, made a quiet move, and with a “creak,” the window opened.

The sound caught the attention of Jing Nian and the others inside, and they looked toward the source of the noise.

At the same time, numerous pairs of eyes from inside the room looked back.

Due to the noise, Hesse raised his dragon head, and since Jing Nian was standing on top of Hesse, he could clearly see the situation inside the window.

Strange gazes met and met again…

Inside the window was a huge council hall with an oval-shaped long table. Aside from the two chairs at the head, one large and one small, all the other chairs, big and small, were occupied. Among them were many races Jing Nian had never seen before.

The five generals of the dragon clan sat on one side of the vacant head of the table, while on the other side were representatives with distinctive auras from the Light and Undead Temples. Going down the line, there were red-skinned minotaurs covered in demonic runes, the old elves Jing Nian had seen alongside the Elf Emperor, unfamiliar dwarves, orcs, and a few sea creatures with scales…

Because of that prophecy, as more and more races began to notice the “anomalies” of the outsiders, everyone became increasingly restless.

That’s why this gathering took place.

This council was crucial, as it involved the survival crisis of the Grans Continent. In this room, it could be said that nearly 80% of the continent’s powerful beings had gathered.

However, two groups of individuals, who had been pretending all along, finally couldn’t maintain their facade any longer after seeing the situation outside the window. Their gazes shifted uncomfortably.

Sensing the unease among those in the room, Hesse couldn’t hold back any longer.

“I knew it! That’s why there’s been that annoying smell in the Abyss recently. I thought it was those two groups of mages!”

Hesse, the old dragon with maxed-out parenting skills, skillfully and disdainfully picked up the two frightened little ones with his sharp claws and tossed them into the arms of the leaders inside the room, one belonging to the Temple of Light and the other to the Temple of the Undead.

“Don’t forget to pay the rent for sneaking in!”
