Chapter 616 I'm No Ordinary Dragon Cubs! 21

The next morning, as soon as Zhao Zhao opened her eyes, she saw a familiar smile, and that magnified handsome face still had a gentle expression.

"Nari, you've come to pick me up!" He hadn't seen this thoughtful and gentle man for so long, and he missed him terribly.

On the other side, Irik, who had been smiling at him, stiffened slightly: "Zhaozhao, have I not treated you well? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The drama of "new people laughing while old people crying" always happens every time the "father" changes. Zhao Zhao is already very used to this. With an expression that says "I really can't do anything with you," he let go of Neri's hand and ran up to Irrick with a grin.

He tilted his head back, his clean eyes slightly narrowed: "Squat down."

A flicker of interest crossed Irrick's eyes: "What do you want to do?" His actions were faster than his thoughts; he knelt down on one knee.

"Boom."

The next second, something soft suddenly pressed against his face. Irrick's eyes widened in disbelief. He turned his head and saw the cub covering its face and running backward before jumping back into Neri's arms.

In an instant, her cold, hardened heart melted like water: "You... alright..."

"Stop looking! Stop looking!" Zhao Zhao said in a muffled voice, her head buried in her clothes. She felt incredibly embarrassed by Irik's intense gaze.

It was too cheesy to do something like this for the first time.

However, the next second he was lifted up with someone's hands on his hips. Neri said jealously, "Why does he have it? I want it too!"

Wen Chi's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the "spring-fluttering" Irik, revealing a hint of sharpness that was barely perceptible.

"Oh? You want some too?"

The cub's eyes were wide open, and its incredulous look was incredibly cute. Neri's heart softened instantly: "Fine, if you don't want to kiss me, then don't."

He didn't want to put Zhao Zhao in a difficult position, no matter what.

The awkward Zhao Zhao originally wanted to lean over and take a bite, but seeing that Neri had put him down and then straightened up, he coughed lightly with a slightly flushed face and said, "Next time, next time."

Neri raised her eyes to hide the disappointment in them. After calming down a little, she squatted down to look Zhao Zhao in the eye: "Little one, I heard you want to go to the deep forest to test the future of other small animals?"

He casually tidied up the bird's nest on Zhao Zhao's head, his slender fingers combing it idly.

"Mmm, do you agree?" After her hair was combed, the two bird eggs on her head couldn't stay still and rolled down. Zhao Zhao quickly caught them, and her bright eyes blinked at Nellie with anticipation.

Irrick, who had been standing there dumbfounded, stepped forward with his arms crossed, looking smug yet unwilling to show his pride: "Of course."

"This is all thanks to my efforts last night," so you should reward me with another kiss.

He still had a sense of shame, so he didn't say the last sentence.

The cub jumped for joy upon hearing this: "Great! We can finally go out!"

Young birds need freedom, and so do young dragons.

That day, as I soared through the sky with Neri, even the wind blowing on my face felt sweet: "Yay yay yay!" I was so happy that I almost wanted to dance on Neri's huge dragon body.

Just then, they happened to pass by a river. Neri, recalling Zhao Zhao's disheveled appearance, asked, "Little one, have you taken a bath these past few days?"

Zhao Zhao's excited thoughts paused, and she stiffened slightly as she recalled the nightmare she had experienced while taking a bath not long ago: "No."

Ersto had suggested that he take a bath, but after being seriously refused, he didn't pursue the matter further. Franco and Irrick, on the other hand, never mentioned it at all.

Neri remained silent for a long time, and then Zhao Zhao watched as the majestic dragon swooped down from the deep forest, heading towards the river.

Zhao Zhao, now a child capable of thinking, immediately grabbed Neri's scales to express her resistance: "I don't want to take a bath."

Zhao Zhao now harbors a strange fear of water.

The two, one big and one small, transformed and landed by the river. Nari grabbed Zhao Zhao by the collar and lifted him up, only to find that the child was trembling violently.

Looking at the calm and shallow river, like a small stream, with a puzzled expression, she said, "My dear child, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He comforted you gently, saying, "The water will only wash away the dirt on you; it won't hurt you."

Zhao Zhao closed her eyes tightly and instinctively hugged Neri's neck tightly: "No! I choked on water last time!"

"Water is a terrible thing!"

In his eyes, the water was even more terrifying than the serpent he had seen in Franger's territory.

When the cub brought up the previous incident, Neri felt guilty. It was all his fault for not having experience taking care of cubs, which caused Zhao Zhao to have a trauma.

However, when her gaze fell on Zhao Zhao's disheveled clothes and her hair, which had turned into a bird's nest again, she felt a struggle within herself.

It's so dirty and messy!

There were even a few leaves and some dirt stuck to its head... it was almost turning into a veritable bird's nest.

“Don’t be afraid, little one…” Neri gently took the red phoenix egg off Zhao Zhao’s head and held it in her palm.

"You took a bath the wrong way last time. Now I'll use this egg to show you the correct way. Trust me, taking a bath is an enjoyable experience."

Yue: ...He hates this world.

Zhao Zhao often touched the red phoenix eggs, so a lot of mud and dirt from her hands covered the eggshells, and the dirt from the eggshells then got on her head.

He hadn't showered for over twenty days and was now a filthy little dragon.

Ripples appeared on the crystal-clear river surface. A large, well-defined hand reached into the water to carefully clean the eggshells. The man in red, with a gentle and warm demeanor, smiled warmly and spoke in a soft, indulgent voice: "Little one, open your eyes and take a look."

"Come here quickly."

Yue: "Little Dragon, come here quickly! I'm almost bald from being washed!" Zhao Zhao didn't come forward, while Nali kept demonstrating how to bathe the egg.

A strong hand rubbed against his eggshell, and Yue's mind went numb.

The voices in her mind and ears kept urging her on. Despite her fear, Zhao Zhao steeled herself and stepped forward, immediately earning praise from the two of them.

"God, you've finally come to see me."

"You're so great, little one! You overcame your fear!"

Zhao Zhao didn't dare get too close to the riverbank, so he carefully peered out from behind a tree by the river, while Nari patiently demonstrated for him.

It does seem safe, and Neri gives off a very reassuring vibe.

Yue was also trying to persuade the dirty little dragon: "Please take a bath, I'm begging you, if you don't, I'm going to cry again, boohoo..."

He felt like his shell was getting thinner.

The red phoenix egg couldn't help but move its body, shaking to resist Neri's movements.

"Not even going to act anymore?" Neri chuckled, tapping the eggshell with her finger.

"Waaaaah... I hate you all, I want to go back to the Phoenix Clan!"

Yue called out, and Zhao Zhao, annoyed, could only shakily step forward and say, "Okay, okay, I'll wash!"

Before this, Neri had carefully read the "Infant Care Handbook" and learned everything she needed to know.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt this time."
