The pipsqueak forks her hands around the waist and gets all discontent: âYou are not even my height so you must be a little brother. If you grow taller than me then I will admit youâre bigger than me.â
Moli found himself unable to retort against that logic. First looking down at himself, then at Di Ling Yanâs superior body size, he promptly deflated due to it being the truth.
Is it my fault that Iâm not taller? But Iâve clearly lived for many years ahâ¦.
âDragony, sheâs bullying me~â Moli turns to tug at the dragonessâs sleeve for help, his face all wronged and pitiful. Due to how small and chubby he was in his human form, the piggy was so darn cute that itâs a sin not to cuddle him.
Bai Xiachen reacted instantly to this picture. For some reason beyond his understanding, the demon prince didnât feel well inside over the piggy entangling himself with Dragony.
Maybe itâs⦠because Iâve taken Dragony as my real sister, thatâs why I donât want a stinking boy by her side.
Bai Xiachenâs finally let up over that pretentious reasoning. Immediately, he shot that intimidating stare towards Moli who did no wrong in this situation. âYou keep your distance from Dragony.â
Moli naturally didnât understand what he did so his already wronged heart became even sadder. âWhy?â
âDragony is still young, thatâs why I must protect her. You are a boy, and boys will try to abduct her.â
This Moli is too sticky, often wrapping himself behind Dragonyâs back. Doesnât he know the difference between man and woman? The stinking brat will probably follow her to the toilet too if he could!
âWhat is abduction?â Moli blinks his eyes in a puzzled manner.
Bai Xiachen instantly deflated as the air squeezed out of him. âYou wanting to protect Dragony is a good thing, but you are too sticky and clingy to her. Itâs making me doubt your motives for something else. Like right now, the palace wonât have any danger that could possibly harm her. Why do you keep following her everywhere with that in mind? Not to mention, your strength is nowhere close to being as strong as hers. How are you supposed to protect her then?â
Moli scratched the back of his head, finding the logic of the princely steambun reasonable.
Neverthelessâ¦..
He still doesnât want to leave Dragony knowing heâs not much help.
âDragony, did Mother go back to rest yet?â Bai Xiachen turns away from the piggy boy and asks the girl instead.
Nodding her head: âMhmm, Mother is resting inside the bed-chamber, and Father is currently out interrogating the prisoner.â
âThatâs good then. Ling Yan is likely tired too so Iâll take her inside for rest. Also, Jin Tian will bring another girl back with him as well. Sheâs a friend of Ling Yanâs so help her settle in will you?â
âOkay.â Dragony nods again like an obedient child.
In light of this, Bai Xiachen didnât relent and shot another look at Moli as a warning before slowly heading inside.
âBig Brother,â Di Ling Yan suddenly spoke up after they were halfway inside, âdo you not like that little brother? I think heâs cute.â
âItâs not that I donât like him.â
He doesnât hate Moli, itâs justâ¦
Every time he saw him sticking to Dragony, he would inexplicably get all annoyed and irritated.
âI got it!â The pipsqueak breaks out into a jolly giggle, âThat is because the little brother is constantly pestering around Sister Dragony. Big Brother is afraid he will snatch her away from our home, right?â
Bai Xiachen didnât verbally respond to the baby girl, instead he admitted it by simply being quiet.
âDonât worry Big Brother, Sister Dragony wonât be snatched away and will stay with us. Also, Grandfather already told me that I must not miss out on someone I like if I encounter them. Although I donât understand what Grandfather really means, but⦠from what I can tell, the little brother probably likes Sister Dragony a lot. Thatâs likely the reasoning for him bugging her so much.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
