Forsaken Immortals Chapter 133 - The Adorable Dragon

Chapter 133 - The Adorable Dragon

Although Bai Rouyun did not feel tired at the beginning, when she heard the steady heartbeat and breathing behind her head, her eyelids grew heavy, and she slowly succ.u.mbed to her sleep.

She felt safe in Li Moyun's arms. It was as if this was a safe haven, a place where nothing bad could harm her, and she did not sleep lightly as she usually would. Instead, she fell into a deep slumber.

It took a few hours before Bai Rouyun opened her eyes again, only to realize that it was around noon, and that Li Moyun was still holding her in his arms.

However, he was no longer asleep. She could feel his affectionate gaze at the back of her head, and she suddenly felt extremely shy.

Why was he looking at her with such tender feelings? How was she supposed to face him?

Bai Rouyun was not usually a bashful person. She could face things calmly, but when she met Li Moyun, her calmness would vanish, and she would behave like the young girl she was. Love was truly magical.

Sensing her body stiffening under the blankets, Li Moyun became aware that she had woken up.

A low chuckle escaped his lips, and the sound caused Bai Rouyun to tremble slightly before she jumped from the bed and rushed to the was.h.i.+ng room to wash up.

She glared at Li Moyun as she ran away, but he could not help but laugh out loud when he saw the begrudging gaze and the flushed face.

His laugh contained happiness, a happiness he never before had experienced, and he could not help but feel gratified.

If he had never accepted marrying this ditzy woman, how would he have known that he might have missed picking up a diamond in the rough?

He truly felt as if he had to thank his ill-intended brother for sending her to his home, even more so when he knew that it would cause him to almost faint from anger.

But it had to wait. The war at the battlefield had to end before showing himself in front of the other people. Currently, he was supposed to be at the battlefield, after all.

Bai Rouyun calmed down as she entered the bathroom. She took a deep breath and gently tapped her cheeks in an attempt to make the blush reside.

She washed up and changed her clothes before she walked out of the was.h.i.+ng room again. This time she controlled her mood much better, and while she was still embarra.s.sed, she was no longer at a loss.

"Okay, come here," Li Moyun said as he sat on the bed, and patted the seat beside him. "We got to look at the little fellow. I think something might be wrong with him," he continued as he pointed at Xiao Long, who was still curled up and sleeping on the table.

Bai Rouyun, who had been somewhat shy still, quickly gathered her wits and hurried to his side. She leaned over the table and observed the little dragon on the table.

Although it was merely sleeping, she could not help but frown. It had just hatched from the egg, and it was already so tired? Not to mention, it had been sleeping for a long time.

But she dared not touch it; she was worried that she might harm it, or that it would wake up with a start, causing it to be uncomfortable.

While Bai Rouyun was rather considerate towards Xiao Long, Li Moyun was not. He poked the small dragon, but his poke had no effect, and he could not help but frown.

The little dragon's scales were incredibly smooth, and even felt somewhat soft, as they were entirely new, and still so small.

It was cool to the touch, as it was supposed to be, and upon feeling Li Moyun touching its skin, the little dragon began mumbling something, and began searching for the warmth of his hand, rubbing its head and body against it, just like a kitten that was begging for attention.

The eyes of Xiao Long slowly opened. The amber eyes were gorgeous, but they were somewhat dazed due to the dragon just waking up.

Bai Rouyun felt her heart melt as she looked at the tiny dragon, her motherly instinct began showing its appearance, but she did not interrupt Li Moyun and the dragon's interactions.

"Xiao Long, why are you still sleeping?" Li Moyun asked curiously, but the little dragon just hissed happily in return. It was a newborn, and did not understand words yet.

When it grew older, it would be able to understand Li Moyun, and answer him through their soul contract. Also, when it grew strong enough to take on a human shape, it would also be capable of speaking with Bai Rouyun, but this was something long away. It was still a newborn hatchling, and while it could sense the feelings behind the words, their meaning evaded him.

Li Moyun shook his head with a slight smile on his face as he saw the small dragon trying to make itself look cute in front of him.

While he could not understand the dragon yet, he could sense it's mood, and right now, it felt delighted as it was rubbing its head against his hand, begging for a gentle touch.

Sensing this, Li Moyun began petting it gently, and the sound of purring erupted in the room. Bai Rouyun raised an eyebrow in surprise. Could a dragon purr?

Shaking her head in amus.e.m.e.nt, she decided not to overthink it, but she knew that a small beast like this needed to eat to sustain its body, and it needed to eat quite a decent amount of food.

She, too, wanted to eat something, so she left the room and went to the kitchen.
