Chapter 1396: Don’t Say Nonsense, You Are My Baby

"Baby!" The mother dragon’s voice rang out in alarm.

Bai Zhi’er turned her head, and before she could get a clear look, she saw the Flying Snake in her hand, trying to ambush her, suddenly snatched away by a Dragon whisker.

The mother dragon was furious, and with a dragon roar, the Flying Snake instantly fainted.

Yet the mother dragon still did not let go of it, and after slicing the Flying Snake into several pieces with sharp dragon claws.

Bai Zhi’er watched wide-eyed as the Flying Snake turned into a pool of blood after dying.

The mother dragon moved her body, and seawater flowed in from outside the Dragon Nest, washing away the blood on the ground.

Bai Zhi’er was somewhat surprised: "The Flying Snake said it was unkillable."

As long as there was a small segment, it could regenerate endlessly.

The mother dragon looked at Bai Zhi’er, the fierceness in her eyes instantly turning gentle.

She stepped forward, using a Dragon whisker to protect Bai Zhi’er as she led her out.

"Indeed, they regenerate endlessly, but the premise is that they still have a segment of body left."

"Our Dragon Clan is best at dealing with such things. Baby, you’re still young. When you grow up, I will teach you how to use mana."

Her Dragon whisker looked thin and long, but unexpectedly powerful, pushing Bai Zhi’er’s back and leading her out from the treasure-filled cave.

Bai Zhi’er kept looking back.

She just saw something within the pearl pile.

However, the mother dragon did not give her a chance to verify.

Bai Zhi’er was again taken back to the innermost recess of the Dragon Nest.

She was once more gently lifted by the mother dragon, placed into the Dragon Egg.

"Baby, you haven’t grown a dragon tail yet, so you have to stay inside the egg for now; it’s very dangerous outside."

The mother dragon spoke while producing the food she had retrieved.

Bai Zhi’er looked at the seaweed the mother dragon tossed down.

She silently shook her head: "I’m not hungry anymore."

"May I ask, do you have a name?"

The mother dragon smiled gently, her golden dragon eyes exceedingly tender.

"Such a good baby, wanting to know mother’s name? When you were still in the egg, I already told you, my name is Yue Hui."

The moon’s radiance.

What a gentle name indeed.

Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Aunt Yue Hui, I’m not your child, I accidentally fell into your eggshell."

Yue Hui merely looked at her warmly: "Silly child, don’t say such things; you are my baby."

"I know, it must be that group of Flying Snakes scared you? And because you look different from me, you have such doubts."

"But there is a way to prove you are my child."

Bai Zhi’er blinked: "How to prove?"

The mother dragon pointed outside the Dragon Nest: "Apart from our Dragon Clan, other creatures that come here will be swept away by the deep sea whirlpools."

"But if you are my child, you will walk on the sea floor like it’s solid ground."

Bai Zhi’er nodded repeatedly: "I was swept here by the whirlpools!"

The mother dragon shook her head with a smile: "That’s impossible."

Bai Zhi’er grabbed the edge of the eggshell with both hands: "I’ll try to show you, then you will know!"

She struggled twice but couldn’t get out of the eggshell.

The giant egg was really easy to get stuck on her backside!

She remembered when she first fell down, she couldn’t muster any strength in the eggshell.

Probably seeing Bai Zhi’er struggling too hard, Yue Hui—being a very maternal dragon—proactively lowered her head, used her nose to nudge Bai Zhi’er, helping push her out.

"Phew..." Bai Zhi’er sat on the ground with a thump, gasping for air.

She looked up and said: "It’s really not easy getting out of the eggshell."

Yue Hui laughed: "Yes, that’s why when I was nurturing you, I was very careful every day."
