Talk nonsense like the old days

"Qing-qing, are you okay?" asked Ru Jing when she was with her, she was worried because she was in Xuan Ti's arms, "You, you better shut your flirty mouth" she snapped at Zhu Lung giving him a dagger glare.

"I'm fine, Ru Jing, don't scold him" she replied late, after Ru Jing threatened Zhu Lung. And she felt bad for him.

"Ignore him, his talk is unworthy, you know that" she warns and cares for her.

"It's okay, I'm just a little embarrassed, that's all" Phoenix replied with confirmation, she gives her a small smile on her tiny lips.

"You, keep your distance from her" she snapped again at Zhu Lung not giving him a chance to defend himself.

But Zhu Lung is Zhu Lung. no one could stop him, not even Xuan Ti. It was only at a critical moment that he didn't dare to overstep his bounds to Xuan Ti. Because he knows where to joke or not. Although his demeanour was always calm and gentle but firm, he also didn't want to provoke and trigger Xuan Ti's wrath, once he was angry no one could suppress his anger except Phoenix.

"Hey, we came here because we care about her, we also miss her," replied Zhu Lung, not wanting to lose his argument with Ru Jing.

"Aren't you, on the night of the bonfire you were already fun and joking with her," she said, squinting at his opponent.

"Hey, it's not enough, we did have fun together but it was only for a while because Qing Yang spent more time alone in front of the bonfire in daze and after that you know what happened, am I right?" this time Zhu Lung puffed out his chest, proud. While crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"You…" shouted Ru Jing, her eyes glaring angrily at Zhu Lung, at a loss for words.

"Yes, I, why me?" challenged Zhu Lung by taking his right foot a step forward. "Just spill it out".

Sighing roughly out of breath, sulking. She stepped away and returned to the Phoenix residence through the same door she had come out.

"Hey, where are you going, we're not done here yet!" shouted Zhu Lung still standing in the same position in disbelief.

"Whatever!" Ru Jing shouted back but didn't turn around and her voice disappeared behind the door. 'Troublemaker' she muttered to herself when she leaned on the door and take depth breath, sighed.

Zhu Lung and Ru Jing, two lovebirds who met every time, always bickered and each time in the end if she couldn't find the words to retort to him, Ru Jing always walked away cursing at him.

Ru Jing always thought, why fate could bring them together. Zhu Lung's behaviour, no matter what he did, always made her irritated and angry. He seemed to be enjoying her annoyance and that made him even more to tease her.

On the other hand, Zhu Lung is only looking for friends or foes to joke around, to kill his boredom. And Ru Jing's annoyed, angry and grumbling face made him happy and comforted. He would try to restrain her by saying words that provoked the curiosity behind the irritation she displayed on her face.

Bai Lung will occasionally add spices to their bickering. Making things even worse and he'd be giggling to himself aftermath.

Qing Lung preferred to remain silent, only saying a few words to reconcile them, without taking sides with anyone.

Xuan Lung, he doesn't care about their bickering, which according to him is just a waste of time talking trash.

While Phoenix, could only sigh, smiled understandingly. The first reason is because the two of them are her friends. The second reason was because she knew Zhu Lung only wanted to joke with Ru Jing, which she seemed to have misinterpreted as a troublemaker. In the end sometimes if it was just the two of them at night, if Ru Jing was really upset, she would spit out annoyance, gushing over her just like that. Phoenix just told her that Zhu Lung was just joking and make a fun, had no intention of upsetting her. And in the end the same words will be uttered by 'You always defend him' and she will disappear into her bedroom while grumbling.

And finally Xuan Ti, he will follow whatever Phoenix says.

"Uhh….I'm just warming up to cheer up the atmosphere, but look, she just walked away, Pyuhhh" he whined, pouting his lips while kicking any object on his feet randomly on the ground.

"Hey.. hey guys.. we're here to meet Qing Yang, aren't we?" finally Qing Lung opened his mouth, which since arriving has not made a sound at all.

"Yes, you are right. Now back to our sweet little sister." Zhu Lung was excited again, with a cheerful face.

Xuan Ti sighed, silently thinking to himself inwardly, 'Looks like I'll have to kidnap Qing-qing by going somewhere else to be able to talk to her alone without anyone disturbing'.

And in the end the four dragon kings were able to speak to the Phoenix in a cheerful mood, Zhu Lung was the culprit. Big mouths, big jokes because the opponent's bickering disappeared behind the door, his target was Bai Lung, although not as hot and interesting as his bickering with Ru Jing, at least he could kill his boredom.

Every day his time was spent taking care of his kingdom which had become his duty as the southern dragon king. The routine work bore him. He's the cheerful type person, likes to chat, joke around, and like jokes with his friends. And this he could not do in his kingdom. Because in front of his people he had to appoint him with authority as the dragon king. there he is, he knows where to act weird and laugh out loud when he doesn't.

In the middle of the conversation no one dared to ask Phoenix why she had left and the reason she had left. Because they knew it would make her go back to isolate herself and avoid them. They were just trying to make her as excited and cheerful as she used to be.

And they bring up the past. The happy times they went through, and all the dragon kings loved Phoenix very much, she was the only girl in this group. If only Ru Jing didn't always disappear every time they came to visit. And it was their happiest time.

They chatted until the evening, if only the sun shone in this realm. So, like an amber pendant that hangs in the evening sky. And ready to hide in the amber horizon.

"Ah... it's nice to be able to talk nonsense like the old days, I really miss the past" said Zhu Lung with a dazed look. "Qing Yang, don't you dare disappear again" threatened with a sullen face to Phoenix, who only smiled back at him, embarrassed.

"Okay, looks like, it's time for us to get back to our boring routine" Zhu Lung grumbled as he stood up and straightened his clothes.

"That's right, we will come again if we have free time," added Bai Lung. Xuan Lung and Qing Lung just nodded in agreement.

"See you later, Qing Yang," said all the dragon kings in unison, waving their hands to Phoenix and bowing to Xuan Ti.

And the four dragon kings waved their hands, instantly all four disappeared from Phoenix and Xuan Ti's sight.

Unbeknownst to them, Xuan Lung had not gone far from the Phoenix residence. he reappeared behind a large tree near the forest not far from the Phoenix residence. His cold and dark eyes looked at the two people who were still standing in the garden.

'I have to find another way to steal Phoenix's time' he thought to himself. In the past he could still spend all day with Phoenix because sometimes Xuan Ti was busy carrying out the duties of the celestial Emperor. Ever since Phoenix returned, Xuan Ti had never gone far from her, and had always stuck with her. 'Seems like I can only steal your time when you dream of Qing Yang' The trick made his eyes flash, his lips curved slightly, a small smile meaningfully.
