ATBLM [QT] Chapter 180.2

The grasses were noisy and fighting again. The slender leaves accidentally got tangled together and couldn’t be pulled apart. Each one suddenly withered.

The dragon tilted his head and observed them for a while. When he spoke again, his voice changed to the voice of a milk doll: “Why is Rui Rui angry?”

All the grass blades looked up at once, and they struggled to explore the leaves surrounding him as if they were observing some rare species. They all said in unison: “Your voice changed!”

“This voice sounds so familiar.”

“Like Fourth Baby!”

“Alike!”

The Big, Second, and Third Baby each said one sentence to each other. The Fourth Baby looked at this grass, then looked at that grass, and suddenly cried: “Little Baby is so annoying! My voice is Rui Rui’s favorite. You are not allowed to learn it!”

As soon as he cried, several other trees with the same roots gasped twice and started to cry loudly.

There was another quarrel, and in the end, the little grass dragon didn’t find out anything from them, but at least, he knew her favorite voice. He was ready to keep it as his own.

As for the issue of bullying a grass, he was still a baby now, and he was still ranked the last by those few grasses. It was fair competition and couldn’t be regarded as bullying.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Rui watered the flowers and plants in the courtyard as usual.

She was surprised to find that the small resurrecting grasses that were full of energy in the past were dozing off bit by bit. They didn’t respond when the fairy spring was poured on them. They looked withered.

In the fifth flower pot that automatically appeared next to it, the dragon stood in it as if nothing had happened, looking at her with its bright mung bean eyes.

Jiang Rui looked at him for a while, and when she was about to turn around, the dragon stuck out his tongue again and chirped as if he was a baby just hatched from an eggshell.

Jiang Rui’s mood was a little complicated.

In the afternoon, a crane brought her a bottle of nectar. It was from Little Peony, whom she had just met.

It should be her own honey, which was rich and fragrant. Jiang Rui soaked it in water and watered some of the grasses. Suddenly, each of them looked alive and full of energy.

As usual, there was no share of the fake grass.

She took a sip of the honey water and thought about returning the gift. Her main flower was so small that it could almost be ignored. It had no nectar and had no plans to produce seeds for the time being, so she could only give away foreign objects from her collections.

Fortunately, Peony is young and innocent, but thinking of her previous remarks, Jiang Rui silently put away the word ‘innocent’ in quotation marks–

Peony should have like some beautiful jewelry, and she had accumulated a lot of jewelry after so many reincarnations. Some of which were rare even in heaven, so she took out the box and prepared to find two good ones to give to her.

The little dragon waited for a long time and never saw her paying attention to him.

At this time, he saw her putting the honey water aside and not knowing what she was looking for. Then, he floated out of the flowerpot, and his tiny paws stepped on the clouds and flew to the table.

He stuck his little head out to observe for a long time, then tried to wrap his tail around her teacup, quickly stretched out his tongue to lick the honey water, and then retracted it at a very fast speed.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that he hadn’t been driven away, the little dragon became bolder. While looking at her, he put his whole head in, opened his mouth, and the water in the cup was sucked into his belly like a water dragon.

“Hiccup–”

The little dragon hiccuped contentedly, with sweetness in his mouth and sweetness in his heart. He climbed onto the jewelry box unsteadily, stood on the box, and stuck out his tongue at Jiang Rui.

Although Jiang Rui didn’t look at him, she was well aware of the whole process and became more and more certain that if it was a normal state, he would never behave like this.

She didn’t know whether he remembered the past when he was wandering in front of her, or… not?

“Where’s the crested hairpin?” She muttered to herself and rummaged around.

The little dragon also followed and poked his head around, and suddenly, he found the big hairpin under his claws. He immediately rubbed it and chirped.

Jiang Rui took the hairpin away.

The little dragon curled his tail and looked at her obediently.

“Kunshan jade seems to have disappeared too.” Jiang Rui said again.

The little dragon hurried to find it, stepping on palm-sized clouds, hovering over the jewelry box, swooping down, holding up a jade pendant with his head, and chirping happily.

Only then did Jiang Rui look at him. She could actually see the enthusiasm in those small mung bean eyes.

She said again: “Bring me the Pearl of the East China Sea.”

The pearl was in the most conspicuous place of the box, so there was no need to look for it.

The dragon tried to grab it with his claws, but it was too slippery to grasp. He also wanted to bite it with his mouth, but he couldn’t open his mouth so wide. Finally, he had a clever idea. He wrapped it around his tail and lifted it all the way to Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui didn’t answer, just looking at him.

“Chirp?” The little dragon seemed to notice something and moved his little paws uneasily.

Jiang Rui smiled slowly and said softly: “I used three languages in those sentences just now, and they were all from the lower realm. None of them are common in heaven. So, let me guess who you are. Urhan? Ling Yuan? Yan Zhao? Or…all of them?”

Bang—

The dragon’s tail stiffened, the pearl rolled onto the table, and the pearl fell off the table with a ‘gululu’ sound.
