83. Infighting and love syndrome?
Ji Mo's eyes lit up, and he dared to swim out of the house, and the first thing he asked was: "Big brother, have you seen Junny's group of dragons?" β
Ao Yang was stunned for a moment before replying: "I didn't see it, Xitu is here, I went out to pick him up just now." β
"What? Is Hittu coming? He snuck out on his own? Ji Mo laughed in surprise, and then asked curiously.
"Well, he's coming to Qingzhe." Ao Yang replied, and then made a gesture, motioning for the other party to swim up with him.
Ji Mo slowly paddled the water upstream, and hurriedly got back to business: "Big brother, just now Rongni's group of dragons came to trouble me, saying that the two dragon fruits they exchanged with pearls from the beast tribe are missing, and they actually wronged me and Ao Bai for stealing dragon fruits, that's really enough!" How could we do something like that, really! β
The big white dragon stopped paddling, raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized the Yan zhΓ²ng nature of the problem, "Then did they embarrass you?" I'm sorry, but I did take Qingzhe to the edge of the jungle just now, and I didn't take care of you. β
Phew~ Anyway, Ao Yang is quite guilty, because he is a dragon who keeps his promises, and since he has promised his brother before, he should help take care of the other party's partner.
"That's not true," Ji Mo quickly clarified, "Of course I won't go out and beat them, and they won't be able to get in." β
The Great White Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, what's going on with them?" Is Dragon Fruit really missing? β
Ji Mo replied with a solemn expression: "Looking at the appearance of those dragons, their two dragon fruits should indeed have an accident." Now I initially suspect that Rong Tuo took the dragon fruit, big brother, you also know, Rong Tuo and the Raptor tribe were like that at that time, wasn't it all for the dragon fruit? I don't believe he's not moved. β
By this time, they were approaching the shallow depths of the lake, with clear, cold blocks of ice stretching overhead, varying in thickness and sharpness or roundness.
"Hmph~" Ao Yang slowed down his movements and motioned for Ji Mo to stay back, and he carefully helped dismantle the ice spikes along the way, so as not to stab his brother's mermaid mate.
"You're right, of course I know why Rong Tuo insists on following me." Ao Yang smiled slightly disdainfully, "He's just for the dragon fruit, he thinks I have the dragon fruit in my hand, and he has searched around my house several times." It's a pity that he can't get in the water curtain I set up. β
Seeing the eldest brother's patience to remove the ice cubes and the rather gentlemanly dragon's actions, the crossing fish felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, eldest brother, for taking care of me." β
"It's just a matter of hand." Ao Yang said indifferently, "Come on." β
"Hmm." crossed the fish and swam up, and did not forget to remind: "Big brother, if those two are really taken away by Rong Tuo, it will be a little troublesome." If the god of the sea blessed him and allowed him to survive the toxicity of the dragon fruit and become a powerful transformation dragon, I don't know what he would do. β
"What else can he do?" Ao Yang is quite sure now, "Rong Tuo's dragon heart is not right, and the killing aura is very strong, he won't think about it so much, he only cares about whether he can show the strength of his ocean dragon clan." β
When they said this, they had already surfaced, and Ao Yang first climbed the steps under the observation deck of the wooden house, and did not forget to turn around and pull Ji Mo, who was heavy.
Hey~ My eldest brother is really a gentleman Long Ye!
After the fish came out of the water, he shivered, clumsily climbed the railing with one hand, grabbed the help handed down by the big white dragon with the other, and smiled crookedly, very cola.
"Thank you, big brother, you are such a good dragon!" Ji Mo praised vigorously without hesitation.
At this time, the little tiger cub Xitu heard the movement and ran out of it, and he still retorted in a low voice with some anger: "No, he is not a good dragon sometimes, Ji Mo, after he picked up my mother and father last time, he forgot me in the tribe." β
Ji Mo Deng laughed, he walked over, bent over hard, and rubbed the little tiger's head vigorously, "Hahaha~ Let's hope that this is wronged, why do you say you are so bold?" In the cold season, even in the snow, dare to sneak here! β
"He really didn't clean up, I had already beaten him up." Qingzhe also walked out and said very helplessly.
Xitu couldn't hide his sadness and nodded: "Yes, I have been scolded and beaten just now." β
"Puff ha~~~" In response to the little tiger, Ji Mo had another uncontrollable smile, "What's inside, Xitu, you don't have to be sad, it's love...... Ahem, me! No, the elders taught you that it was all for your own good, and it was definitely not right for you to take such a risk, what if you ran into a wild beast? β
Although there was a little unpleasantness yesterday, Qing Zhe was still a little worried and ashamed in his heart, but today he saw that Ji Mo was still talking and laughing, cheerful and generous, and the uneasiness in his heart faded a lot.
"Let's go, Ji Mo, I'll take you in to change your clothes." Qing Zhe said with a smile, and took the initiative to come over, next to Ji Mo's side as usual with an intimate attitude.
Xitu sneezed a little with the cold moisture on the mermaid's body, raised one of his forelimbs and rubbed his nose, and then said, "Ji Mo, it's too cold on your body, come in." β
Ji Mo stood up energetically, raised his hand to smooth his hair, and said with a smile: "It's good that Xitu is back, I haven't seen you for so many days, I'm really worried about you, it's fun, I'll go in for a while." β
The two females walked in side by side, leaving a tiger and a dragon outside.
Xitu is now out of the ban: he has returned to the Holy Lake, found his mother and father, met his favorite dragon and mermaid, and even if he is now just using a load-bearing pillar as an imaginary enemy on the observation deck, he is still having a lot of fun by himself.
Ao Yang's expression was very strict, he was facing the vast lake, and his mood was very complicated - my leisurely days seemed to be completely over.
It seems that some dragons have some things, even if they hide in a land freshwater lake, they can't hide from it, is this qiΔ all the arrangement of the sea god?
Ao Yang let out a long sigh, and had a headache for the news that Ji Mo told him just now: those South Sea Dragons were already noisy enough and annoying enough to annoy the dragons, and now they are still infighting?! Rong Tuo's question is indeed very serious, it seems that he is ready to tear his face with Rong Ni and them, at least he will not return to the South China Sea for a short time.
So where else can he Rongtuo go?
"Tu~Tu~Tu~" Ao Yang flexed his fingers and slowly tapped the railing in contemplation.
At this time, Xitu, who was having a good time, changed the target imaginary enemy from the pillar to Ao Yang's calf, and the little tiger hid his claws, and only used the soft soles of his feet to pounce and bite, dodge and move, and worked very hard.
Ao Yang looked down, twisted his thick eyebrows, narrowed his brown eyes, and had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth:
From now on, I'm not a dragon again.
*****
"Come, I'll help you."
"No, no, no," Ji Mo hurriedly refused, "I'll just come by myself, isn't your shoulder injury not healed yet, just wear boots, no problem." β
The crossing fish sat on the wooden pier, bent over and raised his legs as much as possible, pursed his lips and competed, and had to put on his boots.
Qing Zhe couldn't look at it, so he stepped forward and took a hand, and then helped put on the big leather boots.
"Ji Mo, I'm sorry for yesterday's incident, I, I spoke out of proportion." Qing Zhe took a few steps back and leaned against the door, the smile on his face nervous and reluctant, a little gloomy.
"Hmm~ It's okay, forget it in the past, it's not a big deal." Ji Mo said without raising his head that he was putting on a thick cloak for himself.
It is inevitable that the fish will be happy in my heart: hahaha~ This is a genuine leather wool cloak, it is very warm, if it is placed on the earth, it is definitely a priceless thing!
I don't know why, looking at the mermaid's indifferent appearance, and then remembering the scene just now when Ao Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Mo out of the water, Qing Zhe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - he couldn't control himself.
"Oh, youβaren't you really angry?" Qing Zhe asked again with some stubbornness.
At this time, Ji Mo, who was neatly dressed, noticed the other party's emphatic tone with some surprise.
The two looked at each other, a pair of surprised and shining black eyes, a pair of slightly stalked brown eyes, and they both noticed that the previous intimate friendship without barriers and friendship at first sight had deteriorated a little.
The most embarrassing thing is that the friendship is not quite right at this time, but both parties know that they have to keep smiling, so this smile is very stiff.
"Uh," Ji Mo reacted first, thought quickly, and explained carefully: "Qingzhe, I'm really not angry, but what is there to be angry about such a trivial matter?" β
Looking at the still bandaged shoulders of the tiger female, Ji Mo tried his best to enlighten again:
"On the day the eagle man came, I hid in my room, thinking that it would be safe, but who knew that the eagle man was so cunning and so rampantβ"
"Ji Mo, don't say it, in fact, I know everything." Qing Zhe hurriedly interrupted, he seemed to have been pricked by a needle, suddenly came to his senses, and said with a wry smile:
"Of course I know that you must have suffered a lot when you were captured by the Eagle Man, and Ao Bai was so anxious that he was going crazy. Luckily, you and your cubs are okay...... Ji Mo, I've been a little bit in control lately, I hope you don't mind, or just ignore me. β
Ji Mo touched his nose, a little overwhelmed by such a land female, and it was only then that he really realized: Qing Zhe was so open-minded and strong before, but now he is more and more interested in his eldest brother, so he will care about it, and he can't help but express his feelings.
Uh~ Love Syndrome?
"Hey, don't mention that, I see what you mean." Ji Mo made a cameo appearance as a confidant brother and explained for the eldest brother:
"Big brother really cares about you, after we came back from the Raptor tribe, he immediately started to arrange plans to pick you up. Moreover, you said that you don't want Xitu to come with you, doesn't the eldest brother also respect your intentions? Don't be cranky, your beast gods don't rule that females can't like dragons, right? It's good to fall in love seriously, just follow your own heart, when I was with Ao Bai, there were also many people of the same clan who said that dragons and mermaids were not a good match. β
Since Qingzhe had the intention to ease the relationship, he naturally wouldn't spoil the other party's interest, so he smiled and asked, "Is it?" So what do you do? I don't know the rules of your sea tribe, and there are many orcs in our tribe, but as long as both parties are willing, it is up to you whether you like lions, tigers, or leopards. β
Ji Mo opened the door and went out with a grin, and said confidently: "Don't do it, we don't pay attention to them at all, let them say go." As long as I don't take it to heart, it's useless for them to say anything! β
After saying that, the mermaid went out to bask in the sun, and you could still hear Ao Yang's voice helping to move the rattan chair out and set it up, as well as the laughter of Xitu.
Qingzhe stood in the bedroom in a daze, his heart was in turmoil.
- Yes, the female of the Tiger Clan has not yet made up her mind, and he is still swaying and hesitating between Ao Yang and the tribe.
Perhaps, it's because the last fire is missing.
*****
"Ji Mo, tell me, if you were Ao Kun, what would you do now?" Ao Yang crossed his arms, sat on the railing, and leaned over slightly to ask the mermaid lying on the wicker chair basking in the sun in front of him.
"But he's not Ao Kun, he's Ji Mo." Xitu reminded ignorantly that the little tiger cub was also lying next to the rattan chair, lazily drying his fur.
Ao Yang raised his eyebrows and glared at the little black cub, and said, "I'm assuming." β
"Oh, okay." The little tiger cub shut up in confusion.
Ji Mo tidied up the leather covering his eyes, and he was a little sleepy in the sun wrapped in a mattress, he cheered up and thought quietly:
"Hmm~ If I were Ao Kun...... In fact, if I were Ao Kun, I wouldn't have made such a big fuss. No matter how hateful the things of the year were, it was just a sentimental wound to say that time is the best medicine, what wounds can't heal in those decades? Even if it leaves an ugly scar or wound, it will never bleed again. β
Ao Yang reminded with a headache, "However, Ao Kun is not what you say he is at all, you have to assume his way of thinking." β
"Oh, oh~ too." Ji Mo grinned embarrassedly, but after rubbing the animal skin blanket, he still said cautiously: "But I haven't seen Ao Kun at all, I haven't even heard much about it when I was in the East China Sea before, because of what's inside, cough cough, the East China Sea Sea Clan thinks the East China Sea is the most powerful, so ......"
Ao Yang raised his hand and nodded understandingly, "I know that since a long, long time ago, the East China Sea has been the most powerful and rich sea, and the South China Sea has always been at the bottom. β
"Hahaha~~~ Actually, you can't talk about it, right? The four seas are divided and live next to each other, and one side of the sea nourishes the other side of the sea tribe, what is neither strong nor weak? As long as the dragon king can protect the people, he is a qualified dragon king. Ji Mo rounded up the atmosphere with a haha.
Ao Yang pursed his lips slightly, looking at the mermaid with a smile, "Hmph~ You mermaid can talk!" β
"No, I'm telling the truth." Ji Mo hurriedly explained, and at the end, it was rare to say solemnly: "Okay, let's get down to business-"
At this time, Xitu, who was bored basking in the sun, suddenly learned a sentence with a smile: "Okay, let's get down to business." β
"Uh~" Ji Mo was stunned for a moment.
Ao Yang lightly stopped: "Don't make trouble, listen to what Ji Mo says." β
"Okay." Xitu said sleepily.
Ji Mo then continued: "Big brother, if Ao Kun really has the ambition to dominate the four seas, then he should be almost unbearable by now. β
"Oh? How so? Ao Yang raised his head curiously and exchanged his long overlapping legs.
"Hey~ Just look at that group of South Sea Dragons." Ji Mo's tone was a little heavy, and the anger that happened today still did not subside, "Rong Tuo is the most high-profile, Rong Ni and they don't have the consciousness to rein, you must know that this is Sicily, they dare to preach the strongest in the South China Sea without scruples, Ao Kun has no dragon to beat, and so on, you can imagine what the inside of the South China Sea is like now!" β
Ao Yang tilted his head slightly, his eyes widened, and he shook his head and said, "They are really crazy." β
"Yes!" Ji Mo patted the armrest of the rattan chair and said impassionedly: "Do you think, big brother, since everyone knows that the strength of the South China Sea is relatively ...... Weak, huh? Then this situation will affect the mentality of the South China Sea Sea Clan, if Ao Kun wants to dominate the four seas, we have the right to treat him as crazy - uh, I'm sorry, I mean, if you want to do great things, it is obviously not enough for Ao Kun to be hot-headed, he must try his best to persuade the Sea Clan in the South China Sea to boost morale, whether it is to draw a big pie or threaten and intimidate, in short, he has to let everyone do it together! β
It's dangerous~ Ao Kun is the father of the eldest brother after all, what is crazy or not, he said it, but I shouldn't say it in front of him.
Ao Yang summed up funny: "Well, you're right: it's not enough for one dragon to go crazy, Ao Kun has to mobilize a large group of dragons to go crazy with him." By the way, what does it mean to draw a flatbread? β
Qing Zhe was in the middle, sitting on the wooden pier to make bone broth for the cub, and he couldn't help but turn his head from time to time to look at Ao Yang outside: the sun was setting, the dragon was sitting with his back to the setting sun, his side face outlined a pale golden halo, his body was tall and well-proportioned, and his body was full of male charm.
- But he had laughed several times, but all of them were at the mermaid. Alas~ No way, after all, they are the same race, and it is not surprising that they have more common topics......
"Draw flatbread?" Ji Mo repeated in astonishment, and then hurriedly explained: "It's the superior one, oh it's Ao Kun, he promised in advance that he would give the benefits to the people who followed him after he promised to dominate the four seas, hahaha~~"
Ao Yang nodded knowingly, "I see, but I guess he should be more than just a pie." In fact, as long as he takes out the dragon fruit and makes a few transformation dragons out, he doesn't need to say anything about it, and those transformation dragons can't help but want to tease the dragon clan and prove their strength. β
Dragons are already aggressive by nature, and strong dragons are even more so.
At this time, from the center of the holy lake, a large splash of water suddenly appeared, and then the figure of the little white dragon appeared, and he let out a low roar.
"Hey~ Ao Bai!" Ji Mo immediately sat up, hurriedly walked to the railing, and waved happily to the little white dragon.
In the past, Ji Mo never knew that he was still in such a mood: Ao Bai went out, but fortunately, he came back; Ao Bai went out again, but fortunately, he came back again.
It's a worry that never eases.
In this dangerous world, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to go home unharmed and safe every time they leave home to run errands.
"Ji Mo, big brother." The little white dragon swam over a little tiredly, but his expression was still happy. He didn't turn into a human form, and a dragon leaned in front of Ji Mo.
"Tired? Are things still going well? The Raptor Tribe didn't embarrass you, did it? Ji Mo sat on the steps, holding the claws of the little white dragon and letting out a series of questions of concern.
At this time, Xitu, who was sleeping, was awakened, he jumped up at once, ran to Ao Bai with small steps, puffed up his chest proudly and said:
"Ao Bai, you didn't pick me up, I came by myself!"
The little white dragon was very guilty and ashamed and said, "Xitu, IβI originally promised to take you back, butβ"
"I already know." The little tiger cub said intimately, "My mother and father have sued me, so I'm not angry with you now." β
"Well, that's good." Xiao Bailong breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned to ask Ao Yang: "Big brother, are you going to pick him up?" β
"No, he came by himself." Ao Yang said with a smile.
Ji Mo stroked the little white dragon's hard and sharp claws, and commented: "Yes, Xitu is really bold, I heard that he was hungry for a few days and was chased by wild beasts." Alas~ It's not safe for him to do this, Qingzhe should beat him, if he wants to change it to my child, maybe it will be harder! β
Ao Bai smiled gently, hooked his claws evilly, and almost dragged the mermaid into the water: "When the time comes, you don't need to do it, I'll just fight." β
"Bah~ Don't get my cloak wet!" Ji Mo hurriedly stabilized his figure, and the little white dragon blinked innocently to show that he would stop.
"Big brother, what's wrong with Junny's group of dragons? When I came back from the Raptor tribe today, I could find dragon scales along the way, and there were even blood stains left, what did they do? Ao Bai asked puzzled.
"Ask your merfolk, he knows better." Ao Yang nodded Ji Mo with his chin.
"Huh?" The little white dragon immediately looked at his partner, looking a little nervous.
Ji Mo hurriedly explained: "Today, around noon, Rong Ni brought a group of dragons to our house, their love was out of control, saying that two dragon fruits were missing, and Rong Tuo's hateful dragon wronged you and me for stealing, so how could it be?" Right? Later, when Junny reacted, Rong Tuo had disappeared with the dragon fruit, and I guess it was Rong Tuo who stole the dragon fruit. β
"I'm sorry Ao Bai, I just heard Xitu calling for help at that time, so I went out to pick him up." Ao Yang apologized very seriously.
"No, no, my eldest brother quickly went down and brought me up." Ji Mo said with a smile.
Ao Bai shook the dragon's tail fiercely, and said in frustration: "Then I understand, no wonder there is a dark river tributary at the entrance where there are traces of fighting, struggling and rolling!" If it was really Rong Tuo who stole the dragon fruit, he must have known that he couldn't hide it, since he stole it, he should have eaten it as much as possible! β
"Hmm~" Ao Yang nodded in agreement, "I just don't know if he has a life to eat or a life to survive - if he becomes a transformed dragon, it is estimated that there will be no peace in the Sicilian continent." β
