The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1824: Mum or Dad?

Mum or Dad? . . .

The baby dragon was just like the baby phoenix.

There were already nine golden scales, but it didn't stop. Ten! Eleven! Twelve… Cha-Eun Xiao quit counting. The baby dragon was lying on the floor eating its eggshell…

It was enjoying the eggshell…

There were more golden scales to come!

Fifteen…

Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked. 'That is over the record… How come there are more coming out?'

Twenty…

The baby dragon already had more than twice the recorded number of golden scales… They covered one-third of the baby dragon's body. They weren't just protecting its heart anymore!

They were protecting its entire body!

Cha-Eun Xiao had a feeling… Maybe the golden scales would cover every corner of the dragon's body.

Thirty!

Cha-Eun Xiao realized that something was wrong.

Something was abnormal!

This was as serious as what happened to the phoenix!

The best phoenix in the phoenix clan in history was known to have five feathers of the crown, who was known as the Netherworld Phoenix at the Infinity Stage. The baby phoenix actually had nine feathers of the crown! Wasn't it abnormal?

The dragon clan had a record of nine golden scales. The baby dragon already had thirty…

Well, in fact, it already had forty-five now. As Cha-Eun Xiao was in thoughts, the gold scales kept growing out… There were already forty-five golden scales… It wasn't stopping…

It grew faster and faster.

There was one-third of the eggshell on the floor… The golden scales had covered two-thirds of the dragon's body…

Its belly and tail hadn't had golden scales. It seemed the baby dragon was going to have its body fully covered…

The scales were going to protect its entire body!

Cha-Eun Xiao was in shock. Erhuo was staring at the dragon. Bab was astonished. Hawky was jealous…

The baby dragon finally finished the last piece of the cracked eggshell. Its body had grown about five times bigger. It made a hiccup and staggeringly flew up into Cha-Eun Xiao's arms…

Well, just like the baby phoenix, the dragon made a bold move that annoyed the cat!

Cha-Eun Xiao was confused. The dragon had sixty-nine golden scales!

In fact, the last bit of the tail and a small part of the belly didn't have the golden scales. The rest of the body was all covered!

The baby dragon was a small golden dragon!

The golden dragon!

A tiny golden dragon!

Even the two dragon horns were shiny and elegant!

The baby dragon had reached the top of its world when it was just born to the world!

Wasn't it unbelievable?

…

Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked.

'What the hell is this?'

Cha-Eun Xiao was holding the phoenix in his left arm, and the phoenix called him dad, which was sweet. The dragon was on his right arm, and the dragon called him mum, which was awkward…

'Urh…'

He should have corrected the baby dragon in the beginning!

Looking at the dragon and the phoenix, Cha-Eun Xiao rubbed his head and said, "Well, you… Are you guys or girls? I mean…"

Cha-Eun Xiao really couldn't tell their gender…

The phoenix proudly looked at the dragon and said with a smile. "Dad, you are silly. He is my little brother, and I am his older sister. I must be your lover in my past life, dad…"

The dragon looked upset. "I should have come out earlier… I want to be the big brother… She is over me now…"

Cha-Eun Xiao almost fell down.

He realized that the phoenix and the dragon were talking in human language… In fact, they even had the accent of the natives in the Qing-Yun Realm…

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised.

"Erhuo!" Cha-Eun Xiao shouted and said, "What is this? They can speak human language. Fine. How come they speak the accent of the Qing-Yun Realm? What the hell?"

"Meow…" Erhuo made gestures and talked.

Cha-Eun Xiao understood now.

Before the little things hatched, Erhuo had started to teach them talking… After Erhuo pouring spiritual energy into the eggs, the babies could communicate with Erhuo… Apparently, the babies had finally learned how to speak the human language from Erhuo…

The accent was definitely from Cha-Eun Xiao. Cha-Eun Xiao was born in the Qing-Yun Realm. The dragon and the phoenix learned the language from Erhuo based on Cha-Eun Xiao's accent!

Because they could communicate with Erhuo, they weren't frightened by Erhuo's overwhelming prestige, so they dared to got in Cha-Eun Xiao's arms directly. In fact, as they didn't fear for Erhuo, they didn't fear anything in the world!

Thinking about that, Erhuo was furious. 'I helped the two little things a great deal! That is why they were so talented! It is fine. I would love to help. But… Why are you taking my territory? Who gives you the courage? Your dad? Your mum? Really?'

'You definitely are good, but you wouldn't be this good if not for my help. You should be grateful for me, little things!'

"Wait a minute. You gave them the knowledge of language speaking, which meant you knew how to speak the human language! Why do you meow and meow all the time?" Cha-Eun Xiao was angry.

"I just don't like it!" Erhuo spoke, in the Qing-Yun Realm accent as well.

Cha-Eun Xiao grabbed Erhuo and hit it on the head!

"You bloody erhuo! Meow! Meow! Meow! I have been trying so hard to understand your meowing. You fool! You pretentious prick! You…" Cha-Eun Xiao burst in anger.

Erhuo was moving away again and again in a flash, trying to escape Cha-Eun Xiao's hand. Erhuo had much better control on the Boundless Space than Cha-Eun Xiao, but Cha-Eun Xiao was the owner, so he controlled the space. Erhuo was fast, but it couldn't always be running. After a while, Cha-Eun Xiao had caught Erhuo and grabbed it in the hand.

Erhuo was tortured like hell. It had to submit to it though because Cha-Eun Xiao owned everything. All Erhuo could do was to beg for mercy.

Cha-Eun Xiao put it down and humphed. As he saw Hawky and the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes, they were sniffing the air around where the eggshell used to be. They were trying to absorb the spiritual qi that was left from the eggs.

Those were the spiritual qi of dragon and phoenix…

It benefited the snakes as well as the hawk!

In fact, Erhuo and Bab wouldn't care about it because they were too powerful. The others still would love to get as much as they could!

The baby dragon and baby phoenix watched the snakes and the hawk sniffing the qi in the air. They didn't care.

They were so clever, but didn't know that they were from Erhuo and Bab! Googlᴇ search ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

"The eggs were suppressed for a long time. I have poured so much energy onto them after all. They should reach a high level now. I am not surprised."

Erhuo said. It suffered a lot from Cha-Eun Xiao. It truly was afraid of him. Cha-Eun Xiao gave it a look, and it immediately started to explain automatically. "The energy would keep helping them in their lives. However, the two of them don't really need help… For Hawky and the snakes, that qi is priceless.

"It isn't great for Hawky though. It is just some spiritual energy that will push Hawky ahead in cultivation. After all, Hawky isn't an ordinary species. It isn't so much worse than the dragon or the phoenix… However, the qi means a great deal to the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes. They can upgrade as much as they want, but it requires qi. The qi of the dragon and the phoenix benefits the snakes a lot because the snakes are trying to become dragons in the future. If they become Silver-scaled King Dragons, that means they reach the top of their lives. Anyway, they have the opportunity, but they might not reach greatness like that."

Erhuo explained.

Cha-Eun Xiao understood now.

Hawky was in a high level. If Hawky upgraded, it became a divine beast.

What Erhuo said about the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes surprised Cha-Eun Xiao in a good way. He was so glad to know.

When Cha-Eun Xiao got the snakes, he thought Erhuo would eat them as food. However, unexpectedly, the snakes were going to be a great support for him in the future!

Things changed!

It was unexpected, but Cha-Eun Xiao was glad about it.

"If the qi is so good, why don't you go get some? Bab is shy, so I can understand he doesn't want to do this. What about you? You are avaricious. Why do you just give the qi to them?" Cha-Eun Xiao asked.

"Me? Bab?" Erhuo looked pretty proud. Bab looked pretty proud as well.

"It means nothing to Bab and I. We won't get down low to fight the snakes for some useless qi…" Erhuo said.

After that, Cha-Eun Xiao kicked Erhuo in the face. He just couldn't stand Erhuo being arrogant like that. "Just keep meowing… I really don't want to hear you speaking human language anymore… Arrogant shit!" Cha-Eun Xiao said.

Erhuo jumped up high and said, "Damn it! You beat me up just now! Can you be reasonable for once? You are sick!"

"Jump up again and you will be beaten up even worse! I will cripple you! Don't you dare!" Cha-Eun Xiao stared at Erhuo!

Erhuo lowered its head… 'He is not in a good mood. I shouldn't mess with him now. I should behave myself… This is a good time!'

'I am not afraid of anything, but I am not stupid either!'

…

Cha-Eun Xiao held the dragon and the phoenix in his arms. The two babies stared at him with round small eyes. They were relying on him. Cha-Eun Xiao thought that the baby dragon and the baby phoenix should be naked like baby chicken, but he was wrong.

The phoenix wasn't like a naked chicken anymore. It had all the feathers on him and a beautiful crown on the head. Its feathers were in different colors, which made it extremely adorable. It was as small as a pigeon, but it was in the shape of a phoenix!

That was beautiful.

The dragon was covered by many golden scales. It had two good dragon horns too. That was totally not as Cha-Eun Xiao had imagined… There was a little purple qi around the golden scales too… It made the dragon looked so elegant and beautiful…

They were a baby Purple Golden Dragon and a baby Phoenix Princess…

"Hmm… Dragon, don't call me mum. Just call me dad, just as your older sister does…" Cha-Eun Xiao had to accept being called dad now.

"Okay, mum." Dragon nodded.

Cha-Eun Xiao said, "No. I am dad!"

"Dad." The baby dragon said.

"Dad." The phoenix rushed over.

"Erhuo, what you said earlier… the Blood-bond… Do I need it?" Cha-Eun Xiao looked at Erhuo and said, "They seem nice and close to me. Is it because of the Blood-bond you said?"

He asked Erhuo, but he knew it was right.

Cha-Eun Xiao didn't want to keep the babies as pets.

Erhuo nodded and said, "You got it… Meow…"

'Ignorant master. That is the most unbreakable bonding in the world between you and the little things!'

In fact, when the dragon and the phoenix were eggs, Erhuo had put Cha-Eun Xiao's bloodline into the eggs. It just worked.

What Cha-Eun Xiao needed was to let the babies see his face when they came to the world, so they were convinced that Cha-Eun Xiao was their father…

When the two babies saw Cha-Eun Xiao, everything was done. They didn't need to do anything else to build the Blood-bond.

Otherwise, after all that Erhuo had done for the two little things, why would they recognize Cha-Eun Xiao as their father instead of Erhuo? Cha-Eun Xiao barely did anything after all!

Cha-Eun Xiao took a breath of relief and said, "That's good!"

In the Boundless Space, the temperature was automatically adjusted which was suited most comfortably to the dragon and the phoenix, so they got used to the environment soon. After staying in Cha-Eun Xiao's arms for a while, they jumped off and found others to play with. One of them went to Bab while the other went to Erhuo… Nothing was strange to them at all.

It wasn't a surprise. The dragon and the phoenix were so talented and noble-born. They must be able to contact with other living forms that were much powerful than themselves. Bab was the Cane of Void, the most powerful form of life in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Erhuo was an unknown creature, but Cha-Eun Xiao knew that it was much more powerful than Bab. Besides, Erhuo and the two babies were connected, so they were familiar with Erhuo since the beginning.

"You two, be careful not to hurt the babies. They are little." Cha-Eun Xiao said, and he was ready to leave the Boundless Space.

The Boundless Space was a place outside the real world. If he broke the dragon jade pendant and the phoenix jade pendant, the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King wouldn't receive the message.

Other than that, Cha-Eun Xiao wanted to take a fresh breath outside. 'This is… I do have a fiancee, and I have several women… I am not married yet. Now I am a father to a dragon son and a phoenix daughter…'

'This is weird… This feels weird…'

Erhuo and Bab obviously liked the baby dragon and the baby phoenix. They were patient when facing the two little things, showing them around in the Boundless Space…

Bab regretted it very soon…

It must have drawn the wolves into its own house!

It regretted that the dragon and the phoenix were shown its residence!

As the two kids got into the Wood Space, they felt like walking into a mountain of treasures!

In fact, they did find treasures. The Wood Space was full of treasures. The kid saw the treasures, and they ran for them…

Bab hadn't watched the kids for a few seconds, and the two little things had already swallowed two strains of the precious plant which Cha-Eun Xiao wanted Bab to protect carefully…

"Oh, no!" Bab was frightened, and it exclaimed. It flew over fast and grabbed the two kids. However, as they were grabbed, they still kept stretching their necks forward to eat another two strains…

Bab was shocked…

It was just a few minutes, and six extremely valuable plants were gone…

What was Bab going to tell Cha-Eun Xiao?

Bab didn't dare to be careless. It forced the two kids out of the Wood Space. When it was going to scold them, the kids stared at it with their innocent round eyes… That was too adorable…

They were begging to eat more…

Bab gave up. It nearly set them back to the Wood Space… In the end, it decided to give the two kids to Erhuo, and it returned to the Wood Space and locked it up…

'I am not going to let any of the two little ones in!'

'That hurt me in the heart…'

Bab looked at the holes that were left in the field. Its heart was shrinking… It wanted to cry. 'Aren't they with good taste? They only eat the most valuable ones… I should feel lucky they didn't want to eat me… If they ate me… Oh my heavens…'

Compared to Bab, Erhuo was obviously better at dealing with the two naughty beasts. After all, Erhuo was connected to the dragon and the phoenix already. In fact, Erhuo was their second dad, who was always more solemn than Cha-Eun Xiao. They didn't fear Erhuo's prestige, but they knew how powerful Erhuo was, so they would dare to mess with Erhuo!

Erhuo saw the two kids behaving well, so he casually showed them around in the Boundless Space. They drank some water of spiritual qi and ate some supreme dan beads. The kids were so happy…

…

Cha-Eun Xiao had left the Boundless Space, so he didn't know what was happening.

He had broken the phoenix jade pendant to summon the Golden Phoenix King.
