Luo Mingyue said: "Don't slander me, they are small to begin with."
Qing Rui said: "How is this possible? I have read so many books, but I have never heard of such a race of little people in the world."
Luo Mingyue said: "Just because you haven't heard of a race doesn't mean it doesn't exist, because you are not omniscient and omnipotent."
Qingrui was speechless.
Luo Mingyue said: "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders."
Qing Rui said: "But... your box really looks like a sorcery, and many places are covered with blood-colored mist."
Luo Mingyue changed the subject and said, "I heard the fairy tale of Thumbelina when I was a child, and at that time I dreamed of raising a little man..."
Qingrui was confused, "Thumbelina?"
Luo Mingyue said perfunctorily: "I have forgotten the specific content of the fairy tale. I only remember that there was a girl the size of a thumb. However, the one I raise now is a little man the size of a palm. They are essentially the same."
Qing Rui said: "Your box... can barely be considered a secret, but I sleep most of the time and won't go out and gossip about it."
Luo Mingyue said: "Okay, I'll make you a new golden egg, and you can continue to sleep in it."
Qing Rui: "…"
He always felt that something was wrong with Luo Mingyue. Although he possessed the divine fire of life, his luck was no different from that of an ordinary person. There was also a faint blood light lingering around his luck, indicating that Luo Mingyue had killed someone.
Could it be that she did too many bad things and ruined her luck?
This made Qingrui suspect that Luo Mingyue was an evil demon cultivator.
Qingrui remembered that he had once promised someone that if he encountered immortal cultivators harming innocent people in the future, he would help them if he could.
Moreover, Qingrui was worried about sleeping in the golden egg that Luo Mingyue prepared for him. The man and the dragon had just met today and were still strangers. They had not established trust yet. He was worried that Luo Mingyue would make him a problematic golden egg and seal him up.
Qing Rui thought: "Anyway, I'm awake now, and I happened to encounter this kind of thing. I might as well stay with this human for a while. If she dares to do something bad, I will stop her in time."
Then he thought, oh, I can't beat Luo Mingyue, and I may not be able to stop her.
Then he thought secretly: "If she kills the villain cruelly, I can find a chance to steal the villain out and send them all to a safe place..."
Thinking of this, Qingrui clenched his fists, his face determined, as if he was about to carry out a very sacred mission.
He said to Luo Mingyue, "I'm not sleepy at all now and don't want to sleep. I know you're worried about me and afraid that I'll run out and talk nonsense, so I decided to stay with you and we can sign a temporary contract."
Luo Mingyue said readily: "Okay."
I heard that after signing a soul contract with the dragon clan, both parties can share life, but a temporary contract does not have such an effect. It can only ensure that two people will not harm each other.
Qing Rui drafted the specific content of the contract, which stated that he would not disclose any information about the Dwarf Village. In exchange, Luo Mingyue must find a way to find the healing medicine he designated during the contract period to help him heal his hidden injuries.
This contract does not seem fair, because Qingrui only needs to keep the secret and does not need to pay anything substantial, while Luo Mingyue has to provide a healing medicine, which is equivalent to a "hush money". However, this "hush money" is written very vaguely and it does not specify what kind of healing medicine it is. If Qingrui specifies a high-difficulty holy medicine and Luo Mingyue cannot get it, it will be equivalent to a breach of contract.
Luo Mingyue also saw the inappropriateness of the contract. She pointed at the content of the contract and said, "Delete the words about the healing elixir. Just write that I will heal your hidden injuries during the contract period, but there is no restriction on the method I use. Anyway, it's fine as long as I heal you."
Qingrui's handsome face was full of seriousness, "Really? My injuries are not easy to treat."
The reason why he wrote "holy medicine" on the contract was to give himself a way out. If Luo Mingyue was a demon cultivator, Qingrui would ask for a holy medicine that grew in a faraway place, and then take the little people and escape while Luo Mingyue was out looking for the holy medicine.
Luo Mingyue nodded and said, "Well, write it like this."
Luo Mingyue had just checked Qingrui's physical condition and knew that he didn't need to take any medicine. He would be cured after listening to her play a song... Oh no, just half a song.
Qingrui changed the contract according to what she said, and the two of them swore an oath with blood. After the contract was established, Luo Mingyue bent down and rubbed Qingrui's face with her hands.
"It's really soft and cute. I've been wanting to rub it for a long time, but I waited until the contract was over before I started..."
"Well!"
Qingrui's facial features were almost deformed. He was a little dazed, his mind was blank, and he even forgot to resist. He just looked at Luo Mingyue in astonishment.
After Luo Mingyue let go, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "How dare you? I am a dragon! A noble dragon, how dare you offend me like this?"
Luo Mingyue said: "Then...I will rub it back for you?"
This little guy has delicate features and two dragon horns. He looks so adorable. If Qingrui was a girl, Luo Mingyue would have reached out and held him in her arms. Now, just rubbing his face was already considered conservative.
"I don't want it!" Qing Rui was so angry that he was going crazy and felt that he was being provoked. However, when he saw Luo Mingyue's curved eyebrows, he was suddenly not so angry anymore. He just muttered a few words in dragon language, as if he was complaining.
"I admit my mistake. I shouldn't have rubbed your face without your permission. Please don't be angry with me, okay..."
Luo Mingyue was saying words to coax the child, but her eyes were observing the Dwarf Village, and she found that Lu Yunting had actually finished such a big roast duck.
The rest of the dishes were also eaten up, perfectly illustrating the "Clean Plate" campaign.
Luo Mingyue picked up the plate, threw the duck skeleton into the trash can, then used the Cleansing Technique to clean the plate and bowl and put them back into the storage space.
"It's so delicious…"
Lu Yunting sighed contentedly. He looked up at Luo Mingyue and praised her, "Ms. Mingyue, you are really beautiful and kind."
Luo Mingyue said: "Thank you for the compliment, you should go back to sleep, it's almost dawn."
Lu Yunting asked: "Dawn? Is there any breakfast?"
Luo Mingyue's brow was full of frowns, but he still nodded.
She simply couldn't believe that the handsome and charming prince was actually a foodie.
Luo Mingyue reached out, grabbed Lu Yunting, and put him back into the Mo family's yard.
"Lu Yunting, take off your coat and I will mend it for you."
Lu Yunting opened his arms and turned around. He said, "No need. This blood-stained shirt has been repaired. As long as I am full and well-fed, the shirt will automatically repair itself."
Qing Rui pricked up his ears and thought: "Bloody clothes? It sounds a bit evil..."
Luo Mingyue said: "Okay, then go back to sleep, good night."
Lu Yunting smiled slightly, "Good night, Miss Mingyue."
