Crybaby Dragon: “Father, shouldn’t you know this better than I do?”
Lin Xinghe: “I lost half of my genitals after resurrection, I don’t remember most things, only you, the rebellious son.”
However, by and large naturally optimistic, it began to tell Lin Xinghe again about the friends it had made over the years, including cats, wolves, foxes, snow leopards, and phoenixes, among others.
Crybaby Dragon said, “But my best friend is still Snowball, a white cat, who visits me every day.”
Lin Xinghe thought of the ragdoll cat transformation stunt she saw earlier, and couldn’t help but be a bit concerned, it seemed that the animal friends Crybaby Dragon said should all be that one ragdoll cat, after all, this place was not a place where any animal could randomly come in. Crybaby Dragon’s innate power kept them from coming close.
The ragdoll cat named Snowball, or rather Xiao Xue Ji’s doppelganger, probably had its own natural way of subverting this force.
Apparently the crybaby dragon hadn’t realized that his numerous friends were all the ragdoll cat yet.
Crybaby Dragon continued, “Father, don’t be sad, I will help you remember what happened in the past, you are now reborn… Let’s not follow uncle afterwards to do more evil. Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. We have become demon dragons. Despite how we are admired by the demons, the humans revile us. Although they sealed me in this place, because I have not hurt the living, they did not take my life, only sealed me away ……”
It counted carefully and said, “Eight hundred and twenty-three years, nine months and six days.”
Lin Xinghe confirmed that this crybaby dragon was not only naive, but also somewhat simple.
Qi Qing said he used to be a black dragon.
If he were a dragon, he certainly would not lay miserable and sealed in this hellish place. He would definitely try to break this damn seal, why should he meaninglessly stay like a sitting duck? He had not done anything bad!
Lin Xinghe asked, “Want to get out of here?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Father wants to take me away?”
Lin Xinghe said, “Or do you want to continue to be sealed?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Of course I don’t want to! But ……”
Lin Xinghe: “But what?”
Crybaby Dragon: “I don’t think it’s time for me to leave, for these 800 years, although I was sealed in the ancient well, I didn’t forget to cultivate …… There is a voice in my consciousness telling me that one day, there will be a girl who will come to save me on the seven-colored auspicious clouds, and all I need to do is to be here to wait for that one girl.”
Lin Xinghe mulled over such conditions. This sounded like the character of a heroine. Although Crybaby Dragon was a demon dragon, he was silly, innocent, and sweet. On top of his diligent cultivation these last 800 or so years, he would probably serve as the future heroine’s mount.
…… Tsk, the configuration of a standard romance xianxia novel.
Crybaby Dragon added, “I do not like the voice of the sea of knowledge.”
Lin Xinghe was a little surprised, “Why?”
Crybaby Dragon said, “Every time I tried to break through the seal, it would convince me not to bother and tell me to wait for the girl on the seven-colored auspicious clouds. When I saw you, I thought you were that girl. I didn’t think you were my father, and you didn’t have the seven-colored auspicious clouds.”
Lin Xinghe did not expect that this crybaby dragon would be quite this powerful. He was already in a semi-awakened state, and the voice in the sea of knowledge must be the systems’ telling it to follow the plot.
Lin Xinghe just loved to go against the original plot.
This silly, innocent, sweet crybaby dragon, she wanted to break him free.
Lin Xinghe asked, “Am I your father?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Yes!”
Lin Xinghe: “Is the voice in the sea of knowledge more important or is your father more important?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Father is important!”
Lin Xinghe: “Then who do you say you want to listen to?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Father!”
Lin Xinghe: “This child can be taught!”
She took a look at the chains around her. According to the Crybaby Dragon, it could break the seal, but Principal Wang’s system had been blocking it.
Lin Xinghe said, “Rebellious son, lift the seal!”
Crybaby Dragon: “Father, why do you always call me rebellious son?”
…because I don’t know what your name is.
Naturally, she could not say this to Crybaby Dragon.
Lin Xinghe: “How did father used to call you?”
Crybaby Dragon: “Shitian*.”
*This name literally means kill the sky and represents the demon dragon clan’s wish to conquer the Celestial (Sky) Realm.
Lin Xinghe had always thought that Crybaby Dragon was a female dragon. But this name was so masculine, and the demon dragon clan’s enmity with the Celestial Realm was tangible.
Lin Xinghe: “Father died once and does not want to create more evil. Shitian, this name is not good, you will henceforth be called Yingying**. Come, lift your seal, come with Father. Father will take you to eat delicious food.”
**Yingying represents the cute little snuffling-whine sounds made by babies. In renaming the dragon Yingying, Lin Xinghe is effectively calling him a crybaby dragon in a cute way.
