âMother says Iâm still young and canât use my strength. Why are you using my body? Hurry up and get out.â Little Dragon stamped his feet in anger. He wanted to take back his own body but found no way to wake up.
âYouâve been fed with Three Days Tranquilizer. The link between your soul and body has been disconnected. Have a good rest. Just leave these two little scums to me.â The Imperial Highnessâ eyes flashed with a keen glint.
Ever since his father sent him to the Deep Sea Demonic Palace, there had not been any assassins after him. It was simply too boring.
âI donât want to rest. I want to beat up the bad guys. Youâd better quickly let me out,â Little Dragon screamed and shouted in his dream.
The Imperial Highness automatically blocked out Little Dragonâs noise and observed the two dark shadow monsters with narrowed eyes.
âWhereâs this damn rascal running off to again?â The tall one was bad-tempered and skilled in military force. It belonged to the hired thug type.
âHere he is.â The short dark shadow belonged to the intelligent type. It was careful and meticulous. It had discovered his hidden self.
After the Imperial Highness saw the special features of both of them, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
Both his hands cast out a thick black fog to cover the whole Golden Dragon Hall. The two dark shadow monsters were also shrouded.
âWhatâs going on? Does someone want to play in the dark with us?â The short dark shadow monster was taken aback at first and then he immediately became delighted.
They practiced dark demonic magic, and darkness was best suited to their strengths.
But they were only happy for a minute before they found that something was wrong. The darkness was a little strange. It could actually devour their dark demonic magic.
âInsignificant minions, how dare you compete with me on darkness,â the Imperial Highness sneered. Their Ancient Black Demonic Clan was the forebearer of dark demonic magic. As luck would have it, he was precisely such a royal member.
The Imperial Highness waved his hands, and two shafts of black light shrouded the two dark shadow monsters.
The tall dark shadow monster faced a small black mouse and could only get out by finding the little black mouse.
The short dark shadow monster faced a big black elephant and could only escape by killing the big black elephant.
âHave fun playing!â The Imperial Highness smiled and returned to Little Dragonâs dream.
Little Dragon was lying on the ground. He found that the two monsters were quite powerful. He simply could not deal with them on his own. He immediately realized that he had misunderstood the Imperial Highness.
He was a good child who knew how to make amends. His small round face immediately became serious as he apologized to the Imperial Highness, âThank you for saving me.â
âItâs nothing.â The Imperial Highness was rather happy inside, but he still acted like it was nothing.
After this incident, Little Dragon ranked the Imperial Highness in his circle of good friends. Then he asked in frustration, âWhy did my mother secretly feed me Three Days Tranquilizer? Donât tell me itâs because Iâm not obedient and it annoys her?â
âThereâs nothing strange about it. I grew up eating Three Days Tranquilizer since I was born,â the Imperial Highness said offhandedly.
The first technique to practice in the Ancient Black Demonic Clan was to absorb dark demonic magic. Because the process was very painful, his mother would feed him Three Days Tranquilizer everyday to let him spend his time in sleep.
âIt turns out that every kid grows up in this way.â Little Dragon was relieved at once.
He sat happily under a tree and plucked a handful of blueberries to put into his mouth. Then he beckoned the Imperial Highness to come and eat together.
The Imperial Highness sat next to Little Dragon and ate two blueberries. They were tart and sweet and had an incredibly special taste.
âEverything in this garden can be eaten,â Little Dragon said proudly.
âCan this be eaten too?â The Imperial Highness looked at the Milk Bell Flowers hanging over his head.
The white petals looked like they were made of cowâs milk. The red stamens were like the sugared core and rang out with a pleasant sound every time the wind blew. They even carried a faint milky fragrance.
âOf course, these are super sweet.â Little Dragon pulled off a huge bunch of Milk Bell Flowers to share with the Imperial Highness.
âThatâs good.â The Imperial Highness took a bite and followed Little Dragon to eat everywhere in Wanhua Spiritual Garden.
According to logic, it was Little Dragonâs dream. As an intruder, he was not supposed to have tasted the delicious feeling.
But Little Dragon was really too familiar with Wanhua Spiritual Garden and the dream became very real. Even the Imperial Highness was influenced.
Just when the two little ones were roaming freely in the dream, Yun Jiuge and Zi Shang finally arrived at the Celestial Palace. Wan Sha had led his men to round up the two dark shadow monsters just in time. Qingâer was also ultimately saved and received treatment.
âYour Highness, itâs all my fault that I didnât guard properly and actually allowed them to cross the Energy Barrier to break in. Luckily, Qingâer sounded the alarm in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable,â Wan Sha said with a look of shame. He was responsible for the defense of the Celestial Palace, but he had not discovered that it had been broken into.
âThis is really a dereliction of your duty. Howâs Longâer doing now?â Yun Jiuge asked as she walked quickly toward the Golden Dragon Hall.
âThe little prince is fine and still asleep in bed. But something strange happened,â said Wan Sha. He recounted how the two assassins were trapped by the dark Energy Barrier as he followed close at Yun Jiugeâs side.
âDo you suspect that this dark Energy Barrier was created by Longâer?â Yun Jiuge turned around and stared at Wan Sha.
âYes, because thereâs no one else in the sleeping chamber except for the little Highness.â Wan Sha also felt that it was unfathomable.
Dark demonic magic was a necessary technique of demonic clans. Even he was unable to set up such a purely dark Energy Barrier.
âItâs impossible. Both you and I donât have any demonic clan blood. How can our son lay out such a dark Energy Barrier?â Zi Shang could not help saying through Mental Transference while hidden in Yun Jiugeâs pocket.
âI know. Something weird must be going on. Weâll find out once we ask him.â Yun Jiuge continued to walk towards the Golden Dragon Hall.
The splendid sleeping chamber did not sustain any impact from the fighting incident earlier.
Little Dragon was sleeping soundly in the big golden bed. Everything was the same as when Yun Jiuge left.
âBaby, wake up.â Yun Jiuge dropped the Three Days Tranquilizerâs golden honey antidote into Little Dragonâs mouth.
Little Dragon smacked his small mouth and slowly opened his eyes.
âMother.â Little Dragon rubbed his eyes and then gave a big yawn.
âWan Sha told me just now that there were two assassins who broke into your sleeping chamber. Do you know what happened?â Yun Jiuge went straight to the point and asked.
âOh yeah, where are the two bad guys? They hurt Sister Qingâer. Iâm going to beat them to death,â Little Dragon brandished his little fists and hooted.
âWere you the one who caught those two bad guys?â Yun Jiuge grabbed hold of her sonâs small fists and held them in the palm of her hands to check the seal in his body as well.
The seal was still intact. Her sonâs Space Power was still sealed. In that case, how did he trap those two dark shadow monsters?
âNo, it was little black horn that helped me beat them,â Little Dragon replied honestly.
âLittle black horn? Whatâs that?â Yun Jiuge was puzzled. The Golden Dragon Hall had no such thing as a little black horn!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLittle black horn is not a thing. Heâs my friend. Heâs the little scoundrel with the black horn on his head, the one I told you about before. You told me to be friends with him,â said Little Dragon in an urgent tone. He was talking incoherently, which made Yun Jiuge confused from listening to him.
