Happy Vesak Day, everyone!
Finally, Jiang Rui and the Dragon Queen Mother appeared at the banquet.
The guests were all famous figures in the Heaven Realm. Although a few were curious about Jiang Rui’s identity, they did not make as much fuss as the palace ladies did. Most of them just didn’t care. Even if someone could see through her cultivation level at a glance, they wouldn’t be dismissive.
After the birthday banquet, the Dragon Queen Mother persuaded Jiang Rui to stay, allowing Jiang Rui to visit the Dragon Palace for two days. The Lord God naturally stayed with her.
The courtyard where the two people stayed overnight was separated by a wall. The maids filed in holding a bunch of utensils. Seeing that the immortal did not need anyone to serve, they retreated outside the courtyard.
Before they had a firm foothold, they saw the Lord God coming with the aura of frost and snow, and he didn’t want to leave for a moment.
Everyone who had their eyes opened today was still speechless.
A guest courtyard in the Dragon Palace was also magnificently decorated. What was planted outside the window were not ordinary flowers and plants, but clusters of colorful corals, and there were many small fish swimming in the coral clusters.
Jiang Rui leaned against the window and stretched out her hand. The fish were not afraid of people, so they slithered through her open fingers. Occasionally, the fish’s tails would sweep past, causing a slight itch, which made people laugh.
Suddenly, a big palm stretched out from the side, clasped her fingers tightly, and blocked several small fish that were about to pass by, causing the fish to scatter in a hurry.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Rui scolded softly. She didn’t have enough fun.
The person behind her remained silent, but he took the next step and took her waist from behind. The little fish that was still trying to explore around now ran further.
Jiang Rui let him hold her in his arms and saw a bubble emerging from the coral bushes, trembling and floating upwards. She also raised her head and looked up. The top was dark blue deep seawater.
“According to the time of day, it should be night now.” She looked at it for a while.
Then, suddenly she asked on a whim, “I wonder if there will be a moon tonight?”
“You’ll know after you look at it.” Just after saying this, the Lord God suddenly transformed into a silver dragon as thick as a bucket.
Amid the exclamations of the other party, he carefully wrapped his claws around Jiang Rui’s waist and led her away with a tail.
The seawater under the moonlight was dark and quiet, with some fluorescent lights like stars scattered on the sea surface. It was a kind of small fish that could glow.
Suddenly, as if they sensed something, the group of fish dispersed with a splash and then gathered together not far away. In the next instant, they saw a white line breaking through the water at the original location.
The silver dragon swam on the sea for a while, found a reef, and placed the person in its claws on the reef. The dragon’s sinuous and strong body circled the reef several times. The dragon’s head was raised, its blue eyes like small lanterns unblinking as if guarding a treasure.
Although she came out of the water, Jiang Rui was not wet at all. Seeing the silver dragon’s obedient appearance, she moved the dragon’s head to her lap, combed her fingers through the dragon’s mane a few times, and then looked up at the night sky, which was the same color as the sea.
A full moon was like a silver plate. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
“Today is actually a full moon.”
This place was not far from the shore, and the breeze blowing from the shore carried a hint of cinnamon. Tonight was not only a full moon, but also a full moon of Mid-Autumn Festivals for family reunions.
Jiang Rui spent many Mid-Autumn Festivals in the human world. At this time, she was sitting on the sea far away from the hustle and bustle, imagining the lanterns and osmanthus trees not far away, and the reunion of people. She was cuddling with a dragon, and she actually felt satisfied.
The silver dragon had keen senses and could hear the excitement in a small town dozens of miles away. “Rui Rui, shall I take you to play?”
“No.” Jiang Rui shook her head and asked, “Do you want to go?”
“Wherever Rui Rui is, I will be there.” The silver dragon blinked his big eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering up and down.
Jiang Rui smiled and scratched his chin.
The two of them leaned together until the full moon set in the west and then returned to the Dragon Palace.
The whereabouts of the two of them had been informed to the Dragon Queen Mother a long time ago. Knowing that her younger brother could only show the person the stars and the moon despite his age, the Dragon Queen Mother really didn’t know what to say.
She left him in the Dragon Palace for two days and then secretly observed him for two days. Finally, she had to admit that her little brother was just a paper tiger. He looked majestic, but in reality, he was broken by his sweetheart and was so useless.
She couldn’t say that the immortal was too powerful. After all, she was his lover and he was willing to do it. But after all, siblings had to help when they needed it. Otherwise, when would she see happy events?
She even already had great-grandsons, but her only brother was still called Fifth Baby! She heard it all!
