"Brother Wang's young dragon is very sick?" After hearing this, Ji Mo felt a 'chuckle' in his heart, and asked in disbelief: "What disease?" How long has it been? What did the priest say? Hearing this kind of news, the first reaction was, of course, sympathy and worry, especially after Ji Mo himself had a child.

Ao Bai also began to frown, and more carefully protected the little dragon sleeping in his arms.

It's not too late to come back - this is the first thought that popped into Ji Mo's mind, so far, after returning to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, his nerves slowly tensed.

Hei Ning said frankly: "At the beginning of the warm season, the news about the prince's illness spread, at first it was just a few casual discussions, but recently it is amazing, the dragon king and the queen often go to the new dragon palace to visit, we have not seen the queen appear for a long time." As for the priests? This was uninquiring about, and the priest was secretive and refused to reveal any inside story. ”

"Why have you been sick for so long and still haven't gotten better?" Ji Mo sighed in a low voice, "Isn't there a way for the priest?" We were far away in Sicily and did not know about it until now. ”

Hei Ning comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, the sixth prince's seal is so far away, it's normal not to know." ”

Ao Bai pondered for a long time and asked, "Hei Ning, did you deliver the news of our return to the New Dragon Palace?" ”

Hei Ning hurriedly replied: "I have already handed it over as soon as possible, and I don't dare to delay!" The sixth prince came back this time, but it was a rare event and a happy event. How dare you not be dedicated? ”

"Why do you say it's a big event?" Ji Mo looked at Hei Ning fixedly and asked in a deep voice.

Hei Ning was stunned for a moment, and after looking at the calm and atmospheric mermaid dragon, he suddenly felt intimidated, and he explained a little nervously: "After you and the sixth prince became partners, you went to Fenghai, but after a cold and warm season, the sixth prince has successfully transformed, and Fenghai also has the little prince of Aoyi...... This, of course, is a big event, and it is also a happy event, and the Dragon King and Queen Dragon will be very happy to know it. ”

"Oh, I'm just asking casually, don't be nervous." Ji Mo smiled and realized that he was too strict, "Hei Ning, it seems that you really welcome us back, our Guardian Dragon Leader Rong Tuo said that you once helped him, thank you so much." ”

Hei Ning immediately said: "Please ask, I must know everything, the sixth prince has a great favor to me, when I heard that the sixth prince was awarded the title of Sicily, I once ...... Alas, in short, I did what I should. ”

Ao Bai sighed and comforted: "Needless to say, the East China Sea will always be my home, since I come back, I will still find a way to take care of it if I can't see it." Hei Ning, my partner Youlong has traveled thousands of miles to the house, and he is already tired, you can come back tomorrow when you are free, I still have something to ask you. ”

"Oh, okay, okay!" Hei Ning was happy and ashamed, "It's because I didn't think it through, and I'll tell you this as soon as I come back...... Don't worry, I've already arranged it just now, and the little turtle butler will come over to serve them soon. ”

As soon as Ji Mo heard the word 'waiting', he blinked his eyes a few times, and he couldn't accept it. Seriously, he formed a partner with Ao Bai not long after he passed, although he was nominally a 'queen', but they went to Sicily the next day, and Ji Mo was really very unclear about the behavior of the Dragon Palace.

Fortunately, Ao Bai is here, this is his home. Ao Bai nodded and said gently, "You did a good job, Hei Ning, I know that you are a competent Guardian Dragon Leader. ”

After hearing this, Hei Ning was very excited and enthusiastic, he had been suppressed and excluded for too long, and his heart to protect the East China Sea was about to be numb. Fortunately, at the most difficult time, he was affirmed by the sixth prince.

Ji Mo said a lot of words of encouragement and comfort along with his partner, and watched Hei Ning leave with a thousand thanks and rejuvenation.

So in the empty and deserted dormitory, only their family of three remained.

Ao Bai looked down at the young dragon sleeping soundly with his palms in his hands, and said to his partner very seriously: "Ji Mo, we have to look at Yi'er more carefully, the Dragon Palace is too big, and this kid is so curious." ”

As for the others, the little white dragon knew that even if he didn't say it, his partner would think of it.

"You know, if you really can't do it, tie this kid up." Ji Mo joked half-truthfully, "Hey, how old is Brother Wang's young dragon?" ”

Ao Bai thought for a moment and replied, "How far away Ao Feng was born? It should have been four cold seasons in the past. ”

Ji Mo pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "It's called Ao Feng?" Then even if he is four years old, let's barely count Yi'er half a year old. Is Brother Wang the only one child? ”

"Well, the dragon clan is generally like this, maybe there will be one child in a lifetime, and if it is the favor of the sea god, there may be two." Ao Bai looked at his partner tenderly and was very religious, "So, Ji Mo, it's really rare that we can have Yi'er so quickly, you are really a mermaid blessed by the god of the sea." ”

Ji Mo swam over, kissed the other party lightly on the forehead, and smiled: "No, Yi'er is a common treasure given to us by the sea god." ”

The family of three snuggled up tightly, and although there were many things to face when they came back, the atmosphere at this time was a rare quiet and tranquil.

Until Rong Tuo's voice came from outside: "...... Well, our little prince was born in the last cold season, so we must prepare soft and spinless fish, shrimp and crabs must be peeled clean, if there is a problem with the food? Hmph, watch out for your turtle shell! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, we'll be careful! Rest assured, we have taken care of the royal dragon cubs and will be cautious at every turn. This was a young, honestly frightened voice, and it was expected to be the little turtle butler in Hei Ning's mouth.

Ji Mo sat up straight and looked up.

Rong Tuo and his brothers swam in, and said solemnly: "You have to observe carefully, the little prince is still young and needs to be taken care of with the utmost care. ”

After a few breaths, they all swam in.

In addition to the few of them on the black continent, there was also a young sea turtle, followed by a few lobsters, and they carried several large deep-bellied disc shells, which were filled with all kinds of food, and there were special clams for young dragons, exquisite shark yarn, etc., very attentive.

Ji Mo saw the clams bed, smiled slightly, and was quite satisfied, in fact, if there were only him and Ao Bai, then he wouldn't care about these, but now with Xiaolong, as a parent, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the quality of life of his children.

"Wang, this is the little turtle butler arranged by the black leader to serve him, and I don't know if he is well prepared." Rong Tuo introduced, and asked, "The little prince hasn't woken up yet?" ”

"I have seen the Sicilian Dragon King, the Sicilian Dragon Queen, and the Sicilian Prince." The little turtle respectfully stepped forward to salute.

"It's hard work, you do your best to clean up the dormitory, and put away the sharp items at the corners, so as not to accidentally hurt the young dragon when playing." Ao Bai said gently, as a father, he is still very careful.

Ji Mo replied to Rong Tuo, "He hasn't woken up yet, he got up too early today, and he didn't sleep at all while playing around at noon." Have you all settled down? ”

"We're all settled, and we're living in the side hall next door." Rong Tuo looked around, and after watching the little turtle take the lobsters into the room to clean up, he said softly: "Ji Mo, this Dragon Palace is indeed big and magnificent enough, but after we walked around, we felt that the guards of the Dragon Palace were very loose, how could this be?" ”

Ji Mo whispered and concisely recounted the news he had received from Hei Ning, and immediately made his companions gasp in surprise.

"Ouch~" Rong Tuo was the first to react, "Your East China Sea is amazing!" Live in a good Dragon Palace, don't say you don't want it, say new build it! ”

Heizhou was concerned about another thing, "The eldest prince's young dragon here is seriously ill?" Then we should be careful not to bring the little prince over. It's not that I'm cold-blooded and ruthless, but I really don't know what kind of disease the young dragon has. Grandpa once told me that the royal baby dragon generally doesn't ...... Ahem, in short, be careful. Hei Zhou said it smoothly, almost slipped away, and then stopped stiffly, showing embarrassment.

The other companions also understood in their hearts, and Ji Mo's heart was even brighter: in ancient China, where medical treatment was not very developed, the infant mortality rate was terrifyingly high, and minor illnesses and pains could also be fatal. It's the same in this world, and the tower priest of the beast tribe lamented that it is difficult to feed and raise the cubs - either they don't get sick and grow up, and if they get sick, they are likely to die.

"Be cautious when you say it, you want everyone to know it." Ji Mo whispered.

Hei Zhou took the initiative to answer, bowed his head and said, "Understood, I'll be careful." This attitude is equivalent to admitting the mistake of the gaffe just now.

Ao Bai said with relief: "Everyone has been swimming for more than half a month, and they are all tired, so let's rest early after we are full, I am afraid that we will start to be busy again tomorrow." ”

"Okay, our food has been sent to the side hall" Rong Tuo responded, "Wang, we live next door, and there will be brothers outside who will take turns on duty, please rest assured." ”

Ao Bai reminded a few more words of the special features that should be paid attention to here, and Rong Tuo took his companions out.

Ji Mo was immersed in his own thoughts and sat motionless. The sky was already dark, and the night pearls around the dormitory were shining brightly, illuminating Ji Mo's dark hair, fair side face, and the line of the tip of his nose and chin was especially just right.

"Don't think about it, let's eat something first." Ao Bai admired it silently for a moment, then pushed one of the shells over, Ji Mo came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and took a shrimp meaningfully.

"Eat quickly, don't be in a daze." While Ao Bai was sitting, the little dragon curled up in his arms, and he peeled a shrimp with his hands, and pried open a seashell and put it on his partner's table.

Ji Mo shook suddenly, came back from his contemplation, smiled apologetically, and began to eat the shellfish without a bite.

"You don't have to worry." Ao Bai reassured in a low voice, "Now that the situation has changed, Yi'er lives here, don't go anywhere yet." I'll go to the New Dragon Palace tomorrow to see what's going on over there, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

Ji Mo ate dinner without much taste, thought about it for a long time, and said: "I'll go with you, since they are all back, no matter what, Brother Wang's young dragon is sick, and it is always appropriate to visit and condole." And Ji Mo also has his own things that he wants to verify.

Without waiting for his partner to ask, Ji Mo helped Xiaolong adjust his sleeping position again, and added: "Yi'er let him play here, and Rongtuo Heizhou and they won't go, let them take care of Yi'er." Just the two of us, it won't take long, one day is enough. ”

Ao Bai thought about it, and felt that this was more reasonable: Ji Mo was his rightful partner, and it was indeed unreasonable to go back to the Dragon Palace without going with him to see his parents and brothers.

It's just that, Ao Yi?

The situation in the New Dragon Palace is unknown, Ao Feng doesn't know what kind of disease he has, his children are too young, where do the husband and wife dare to take risks? Ao Bai, who grew up in the Dragon Palace since he was a child, is more cautious.

While he was whispering, the little turtle butler slowly swam out with the lobsters, respectfully saying that he had cleaned up the room inside, and if there was anything wrong, please feel free to tell Yunyun.

Ji Mo smiled uncomfortably, but Ao Bai bowed his head very naturally and calmly, and waved them back.

Ji Mo looked at his partner with admiration - being able to bend and stretch, that's probably what it means! In the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Ao Bai is the sixth prince with a noble status; But back in the Sicilian Sea, Ao Bai can also live in a simple cave, go to patrol the sea every day, be busy with this and that, be polite and virtuous, and be humble and generous.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ao Bai turned his head and asked puzzled.

"I'm asking you a question." Ji Mo suddenly thought, "Will you not want to go back to Sicily when you come back?" ”

Ao Bai categorically vetoed, "Of course not!" This dragon palace belongs to the king's brother, the father and the queen mother have been mentioning their orders since they were children, in fact, I won't stay without them reminding me, there are already fathers, brothers, uncles and brothers guarding here, and it doesn't hurt to have one less of me. But far away Sicily has never been guarded by a dragon king, and I am willing to be the dragon king who guards the sea realm—wouldn't it be even more rare if I could govern the Sicilian Sea as strong as the lord of the East Sea? ”

When Ji Mo heard this, he was immediately ashamed and said, "You're right, it's me who wants to fork in." Then that's it, let Rongtuo Heizhou and them help take care of Yi'er tomorrow, let's go to the New Dragon Palace to have a look. ”

"I hope Yi'er won't make trouble, and we'll try to come back as soon as possible." Ao Bai said with some concern.

Ji Mo comforted his partner, comforted himself by the way, and said with less confidence: "It shouldn't be troublesome, right?" Yi'er has been playing well with Rong Tuo, and they are also familiar with Heizhou, Rong Tuo should be able to coax him...... Right? Alas, this is also something that cannot be helped. ”

*****

suddenly changed the environment, and there were many things to do, and Ji Mo didn't rest very well. Not to mention, I was woken up by Xiaolong early in the morning.

"Daddy." Ji Mo heard the child's milky call in his ears, and he wanted to squint for a while, so he deliberately ignored it;

After a moment, "Dad? This crisp and loud shout was in his ears, and Xiaolong hugged Ji Mo's hand and pulled it up hard, tirelessly trying to wake up his father.

Ji Mo felt that the back of his head was dizzy, and the sense of sleepiness was too strong, so he forcibly pretended not to hear it again;

"Dad~" Xiaolong simply lay on Ji Mo's body, constantly rubbing and rolling, screaming louder and louder, "Dad, Dad......", you must know that Ao Yi is no longer the platinum Xiaolong when he was born, he can hold it, he can knock Ji Mo on his head, and his body is as tall as Ji Mo.

Ji Mo was tossed so much that he couldn't pretend to sleep anymore, so he could only get up in frustration, press Xiaolong, and said helplessly: "You stinky boy!" Can't you let Dad sleep a little longer?!! ”

"Dad~" Xiaolong obediently put away his hard and sharp claws, did not struggle at all, and shouted softly with admiration and attachment.

There is no doubt that Ji Mo was defeated again.

"Alas, you were specially sent by the sea god to torture me." Ji Mo let go with a smile, got up happily, dragged Xiaolong up with his hand, and asked, "Yi'er, what do you think of here?" Can you play with Uncle Rong Tuo for most of the day? ”

Fortunately, they are sea tribes, and with the buoyancy of water, Ji Mo can still hold the child with one hand in a chic manner.

"Daddy." Xiaolong raised his paw and pointed to the floor next to him, his body movements could already clearly express his meaning, Ji Mo looked at it:

It was the beautiful bed of the clams, surrounded by beautiful shark robes, and several fist-sized pearls of the night rolling down it.

"What did you do?" Ji Mo lowered his head and asked sternly.

Xiaolong looked at his father very unhappily, obviously angry.

"I made a mess of the room again, I didn't scold you, what do you have to be angry about?" Ji Mo sighed, swam over, bent over, and cleaned up simply, he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the bedroom where he couldn't rest was messy.

Still angry, the little dragon raised his paw and pointed out.

Ji Mo yawned, swam out slowly, and asked patiently, "What's going on outside?" Are you disobedient and scolded? Well? Who scolded you? Hahaha~ If you don't obey, you will be scolded! ”

The little dragon waved his claws, babbling sadly, and didn't know whose little report he was hitting.

Ji Mo swam to the living room outside, only to find that there was a group of dragons crowded inside, which was very lively.

"Hey~ The little prince really went to sue?" Rong Tuo said with a grin, "I knew that he would definitely be in a hurry to wake up Ji Mo!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.

Xiaolong lay sullenly on Ji Mo's shoulder socket, he knew that his uncles were laughing at him.

"Yi'er wants to go out to play, but there is no difference between the outside of the Dragon Palace and here, and the open sea is far away, so I didn't agree to his request." Ao Bai explained with a smile, "The young dragon, do you still know that you are angry? I didn't listen to him, so I wanted to go in and wake you up. ”

Ji Mo suddenly realized, raised his hand and stroked the child's back a few times, kissed his forehead again, and soothed: "So that's the case?" Yi'er, do you want to go out and play? ”

Ao Bai stretched out his hand, but Xiaolong closed his eyes, was very sad, and ignored it - this tall and magnificent Dragon Palace, Ao Yi only played around curiously for a few laps, and then lost interest. He prefers to swim freely in the sea, chase fish on the corals, or play hide-and-seek in the seagrass.

Suddenly locked up and restricted his freedom, Ao Yi did not understand or accept it.

"Daddy knows you like to hang out, but it's not the Sicilian Sea." Ji Mo sat down and participated in the conversation circle of his companions, "Yi'er, this is the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and it looks similar to here on the outside, you can play inside today, be obedient." ”

Ao Bai had obviously communicated with Rong Tuo and them, so Rong Tuo immediately smiled and accosted: "Yes, little prince, we will play with you today, you must be obedient!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Ao Bai directly mentioned: "If Ao Yi is disobedient or crying, don't follow him, just close the doors and windows, he will stop crying when he is tired, and let him eat when the time comes, let him sleep when he is sleepy, this is fine." ”

Rong Tuo Heizhou hesitated a little, and Heizhou asked: "Then what if the little prince keeps crying and doesn't stop?" ”

Ji Mo endured his distress and said, "But we really can't take him with us, so we can only make him cry...... It's okay, how can a child not cry? Ao Yi is not a particularly disobedient child, and we will try to come back as soon as possible. ”

Rong Tuo laughed loudly and said, "What are you nervous about?" Don't worry, I'll help you take care of the children, the little prince usually likes to stick to me. ”

*****

Not long after, Hei Ning arrived in a hurry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Sixth Prince, the Dragon King asked you to bring your companion Young Dragon over early!" ”

"That's what my father said?" Ao Bai was very surprised, the old Dragon Palace was deserted, although he said that he had returned home, but it was as if he had not returned home, his parents and brothers were in the New Dragon Palace.

Hei Ning finally took a breath and explained, "The news I just received was sent back by the brother who sent it last night. It turns out that the Dragon King Dragon Queen rested early last night, and the news of your return was suppressed, so I handed it over this morning, and I heard that the Dragon King Dragon Queen was very anxious and asked you to go over immediately. ”

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go over." Ao Bai said with a smile and took Ji Mo's hand.

Hei Ning didn't move, a little dumbfounded, and looked at Rong Tuo behind him holding the struggling and crying little dragon and swimming quickly inside, and said, "What's wrong with the little prince?" Don't take him with you? ”

When Ji Mo just wanted to explain, Ao Bai had already spoken, and said calmly: "Oh, Ao Yi is not going." When we first arrived, Ao Yi didn't adapt to the environment, didn't rest well, and cried a lot. ”

Hei Ning nodded blankly, and couldn't bear to look back a few times, and Xiaolong's sad cry came from inside, shouting "Dad" from time to time.

Only then did Ji Mo finally realize what it meant to be so distressed and reluctant, listening to his son crying sadly in the back to go out with him, it was really a torment - the mermaid almost turned around and swam back.

"Father and Queen Mother are very anxious?" Ao Bai firmly grasped his partner's hand, followed Hei Ningyou unhurriedly, and asked, "Did they say anything else?" ”

Hei Ning was only confused for a moment before he reacted, he no longer looked back at Ao Yi, and said vaguely: "The brother who passed the word was very anxious, and he didn't say it too clearly, the Dragon King and Queen Dragon should be happy." ”

"Hmm." Ao Bai replied with a simple word.

Ji Mo was uneasy, and the child's sad cries sounded in his mind from time to time.

The old and new Dragon Palaces are not too far apart. No matter how big the East China Sea is, there are only a few areas suitable for the Sea Clan to live in and build the Dragon Palace.

Ao Bai's face was solemn, and the New Dragon Palace was extremely luxurious, and the treasures were shining, but he and his partner had no intention of admiring it, and almost ignored the swim by.

Soon, they swam into a finely carved arch, the old turtle butler lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ao Bai Ji Mo, and slowly swam in, Ji Mo just looked up, and before he could see clearly who was sitting on it, the Dragon King of the East China Sea had already said anxiously:

"Huh? Didn't you say that you brought the little dragon back? What about the little dragon? ”
