Chapter 619 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 24
(I added 3,000 words to the previous chapter; if you're having trouble keeping up with the plot, you can go back and check it out.)
The news that the Dragon Clan had imprisoned a phoenix soon spread throughout the entire Spirit Realm. Everyone wanted to gossip about the confrontation between the two top races.
Meanwhile, the owner of the gossip was lying on his side in the dragon cave that the dragon clan had prepared especially for him, looking bored. He was more like a guest under strict guard than a prisoner.
A soft rustling sound came from the cave entrance. Xi Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with interest. He stood up, picked up a fruit, and tossed it in his hand to play with it.
His purple robes swayed as he walked slowly to the hole in the cloth barrier. After a while, Zhao Zhao, who had been peeking around, ran over on her own.
Zhao Zhao still had two phoenix eggs on his head. Ignoring Xi Yan's green-eyed look as he stared at the phoenix eggs, he focused his gaze on the fruit held in his slender hand.
"What kind of fruit is this? I've never seen it before."
His entire face was almost pressed against the barrier, his soft cheeks flattened into a large meat pie, which made Xi Yan laugh.
"You still like this?"
Xi Yan teased the dragon with fruit, and the little dragon's gaze followed his arm movements from side to side, making him laugh out loud.
"Unbelievable! The dragon race actually has such adorable children."
Xi Yan's eyes curved slightly as she squatted down and placed the fruit a little closer, waving it in front of the cub separated by the barrier: "Let me out, and I'll treat you to some fruit."
These fruits were picked by the Phoenix Clan, so it's normal that the young dragon cubs in remote, impoverished areas haven't seen them before: "I have many more of these fruits in my storage space," Xi Yan continued, tempting them with ill intent.
"No." Zhao Zhao regained her senses and quickly shook her head and stepped back.
"Oh." Xi Yan replied casually. He hadn't expected this seemingly foolish young dragon lord to be of any use.
The place where the dragons imprisoned him was just a relatively remote dragon cave; apart from lacking freedom, he was perfectly fine.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Xi Yan had long since lost face due to his years of service to the Phoenix Clan, so he had a very good attitude and treated this opportunity as a vacation.
The scenery here is beautiful, and occasionally a young dragon prince will personally come to his door to amuse him, so life is quite leisurely.
With her face flushed, Zhao Zhao hid in a place where she couldn't see clearly at the entrance of Xi Yanlong Cave, hands on her hips, and greeted Yue: "Alright, I brought you to see him again. Now you can tell me your secret, right?"
"..."
"Stop playing dead." Zhao Zhao's toes tapped on the ground, urging her on.
The moment Xi Yan appeared, Yue was already prepared to tell Zhao Zhao this secret, but when the moment actually came, she still hesitated.
After all, the idea of time travel is far more extraordinary than the First Emperor's ability to predict the future.
"Don't say you're angry anymore!"
The raging dragon roared online, startling Yue, who hurriedly shouted, "Tell me! Tell me! I'm actually a time traveler!"
"?" Zhao Zhao's lips twitched slightly: "Huh?"
"A hundred years ago, not long after I was born from a phoenix egg, I accidentally entered a transparent bubble in the Lingze Forest outside the Phoenix Clan, and then my consciousness returned to the present, a hundred years ago."
"If it weren't for this time-traveling accident, the me you picked up would be a motionless idiot like this black egg next to me!" Instead of the intelligent, moving, and talking person I am now.
Zhao Zhao was truly stunned by Yue's words and remained motionless. As expected of a phoenix egg given by the system, her background was so rugged.
"Waaah, what? You still don't believe me?" Yue, who had just been talking so eloquently, started to sound aggrieved again: "Even if you don't believe me, you can't tell anyone, otherwise who knows what might happen..."
Yue felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about it; he had actually told this little kid about his time travel.
"I believe you, I believe you," Zhao Zhao covered her head, "Your strange behavior has already proven this to you, so I believe you, just shut up!"
After gazing intently at the red phoenix egg for a long time, Zhao Zhao couldn't resist asking gossipily, "Tell me your past stories."
“Okay,” just as the innocent Yue was about to chat with him about the luxurious life of the young master after his birth, Zhao Zhao threw out a series of questions.
"What will the Spirit Realm be like a hundred years from now? Will the Dragon Clan have changed a lot?"
"How are Neri, Ersto, and the others?"
"What kind of personality will the black phoenix egg hatch? Will it be a crybaby like you?"
Zhao Zhao's questions came one after another, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity about the future world.
"What kind of personality does the Black Phoenix Egg have? Of course, he's just like you, an even more powerful firecracker."
"what?"
Zhao Zhao poked the motionless black egg: "His personality is so interesting, I'd like to meet him."
Yue sneered, "I don't know if it's because he's been around you too much, but Black Egg has gradually developed this kind of personality." He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Also, what you want to know is clearly not my story."
He even asked Ye, but he didn't ask him.
His tone was somewhat aggrieved for a moment, but he was in this aggrieved state most of the time, so Zhao Zhao didn't notice at all.
"What did I just ask?! Say it again!"
He stomped his foot, about to get angry again, but Yue said helplessly, "One at a time!"
"The Spirit Realm remains unchanged a hundred years from now, but I don't know how much the Dragon Clan has changed."
"...just spouting nonsense."
"Is that so?" Yue smiled wickedly. "Don't you want to know the condition of your fathers?"
"miss you!"
Xiao Long suddenly became agitated, and Yue suddenly stopped talking. He remembered something—"A hundred years ago, the young master of the Dragon Clan, Loriel, voluntarily sacrificed himself to the Demon Dragon."
At this moment, she only regretted not having studied the "History of a Hundred Beasts" properly back then, so that only this sentence kept running through her mind. And it was precisely this sentence that she remembered, which made Yue's heart feel uneasy.
So, based on future trends, this grumpy little dragon might really die in a few years?!
"Speak, Yue!" Zhao Zhao was still eagerly awaiting Yue's future. He didn't know what Yue was thinking. He only knew that the usually noisy red egg had suddenly fallen silent.
"...I'm tired, I don't want to talk."
"..." I'm so angry!
"You're playing me! If you play me again, I'll never bring you to see Xiyan again."
"whatever."
Yue is no longer in the mood to care about Xiyan. If Xiaolong really does die in two years, she would feel guilty leaving now.
He just wanted to go back and see the current Phoenix Clan and his old acquaintances, and then grow up and be born in peace. But if he couldn't see his Dragon Clan friends because of this, the regret would last a lifetime.
Zhao Zhao asked in confusion, "Really? You don't want to go back to your Phoenix Clan?"
"Hmm." At the time, Yue was too anxious when he saw Xi Yan, and his limited brain capacity didn't allow him to think too much about it. But now that he had thought it through, he decided to stay in the Dragon Clan.
He wanted to witness the Battle of the Dragons, a moment in history when the dragon race suffered heavy losses, within a maximum of two and a half years.
He even wondered if his existence could change Loriel's fate, or if fate had sent him to save him.
Zhao Zhao asked the question jokingly, but she didn't expect to get a positive answer.
"That wretched Yue, she tricked me!"
He's not going to come see Xiyan again. Just wait and see; no matter how much Yue begs him, it won't make a difference.
