Chapter 102: Which Kind of Sleep, Exactly?

“Aren’t you going to eat it?”

The little dwarf dragon’s chatter was abruptly shut off by this sudden question.

It even forgot where it had been in its rambling.

“Huh???” The little dwarf dragon was full of question marks.

Yunyun’s delicate white finger pointed at the eggshell in the little dwarf dragon’s hand and pressed again: “Don’t you want to eat it? If you don’t want it, give it back to me!”

Hearing this, the little dwarf dragon felt more than a little embarrassed.

It picked up the red eggshell in its hand and examined it carefully, but fell into hesitation, unsure whether it should eat it or not.

After all, every move it made was under Yunyun’s watchful gaze…

“Yunyun, you should have it instead. You just hatched from your shell—you ought to nourish yourself properly!”

Before the words even faded, the eggshell in the little dwarf dragon’s hand flew over to Yunyun’s palm all by itself.

Crack…

With a crisp sound, the eggshell was quickly swallowed into Yunyun’s stomach.

“…”

The little dwarf dragon stood there, utterly bewildered.

After eating her fill, Yunyun wore a look of complete satisfaction.

She looked at the little dwarf dragon and said in a serious tone:

“Um, I hereby permit you to be my little sidekick. Brother Yan once told me that I can’t call anyone else ‘brother.’ So I’ll call you Little Dragon Dragon.”

“Pfft, hahahaha…”

Xie Lingzhou burst into unkind laughter.

So the little yellow dragon had gotten slapped in the face after all, huh? Hahaha, let him laugh a little longer…

Even Ji Chuxue and Wen Yue were suppressing their smiles.

Yunli shot a sidelong glance at Jiang Yan, thinking, As expected of the master!

Lin Qi, meanwhile, swept a look at Jiang Yan and thought to himself: Good disciple, not bad! You know to teach your little wife not to go around calling others “brother.”

Feeling his master’s gaze, Jiang Yan spread his hands at him, signaling: It wasn’t me! That wasn’t me!

Still, he rather agreed with that “Brother Yan’s” point of view.

Unless he was a real blood brother, any other “brother” could very easily turn into a “sweetheart brother”…

The little dwarf dragon felt terrible inside. Fine, so it couldn’t be called “brother”—but was it really being mistaken for wanting to be a “little sidekick”?

A little sidekick was just a tag-along, wasn’t it? It didn’t want to be a tag-along at all!

And on top of that, it had to be called “Little Dragon Dragon”?

That name was a blow to its dignity as Dragon Lord!

The little dwarf dragon said to Yunyun in a negotiating tone: “Yunyun, how about you just call me Little Dragon? Little Dragon Dragon doesn’t really suit me.”

“Fine then, Little Dragon.”

Yunyun looked completely indifferent.

It was only one “Dragon” less—what was the big deal?

Lin Qi looked at the pitch-black night sky and said to everyone in the room:

“It’s getting late now. Let’s all turn in for the night.”

“Yes, Master.” Xie Lingzhou was the first to slip away.

He was afraid of being retaliated against by that little yellow dragon.

After all, he might have laughed a bit too loudly just now.

Yunli also took his leave of Jiang Yan: “Jiang Yan, I’ll head back to my room first.”

He limped to the door, but couldn’t resist turning back for another look at Yunyun and Jiang Yan.

How wonderful—the master would be happy in this life!

“Little Six, this master is heading back to rest as well.”

After Lin Qi left as well, only Ji Chuxue and Wen Yue remained in the room.

The two exchanged a glance, confirming each other’s intentions, and both knew exactly what the other had in mind…

Wen Yue said in a faint tone: “Senior Sister, I think Yunyun might as well come stay with me.”

Ji Chuxue replied with a light laugh: “Fourth Sister, aren’t you the one who doesn’t like sharing a room with others? In that case, Yunyun will come with me. I’ll make sure she’s well taken care of.”

Listening to his two senior sisters go back and forth, Jiang Yan thought to himself: Has Yunyun become the sect’s little darling?

This treatment was a little too good, wasn’t it?

Unbeknownst to him, Yunyun had already walked up to Ji Chuxue and Wen Yue.

She shook her head. “Two big sisters, I’m going to stay with Brother Yan. Wherever Brother Yan is, there I’ll be!”

Ji Chuxue looked at Yunyun and said gently: “Yunyun, the thatched hut is too crude, and there’s only one bed. It’s not suitable for you to stay here.”

Wen Yue nodded in agreement. “That’s right.”

“Then, then I’ll just sleep together with Brother Yan! Brother Yan, isn’t that right?”

Yunyun smiled happily, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Jiang Yan.

Ji Chuxue and Wen Yue cast probing looks at Jiang Yan.

The little dwarf dragon, meanwhile, had eyes that seemed ready to shoot fire. It ground its teeth silently and glared at Jiang Yan in a huff.

It would just see whether Jiang Yan dared to agree.

If he dared—well, don’t blame it… heh heh…

Under the simultaneous scrutiny of several pairs of eyes, Jiang Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Why was everyone staring at him like that?

He wasn’t some beast!

Jiang Yan said with a perfectly straight face: “Ahem, little girl, men and women should keep their distance. It really isn’t appropriate for you to stay with me.

Between a man and a woman, only after they’ve become dao companions may they sleep in the same bed. Although you’re still young now, this principle—well, it’s just the right time for you to learn it.”

Mm, Jiang Yan felt that he really was handsome right now.

See? He was a true gentleman, wasn’t he? Everything he taught the little girl was the proper way of thinking (the kind parents talk about).

“But in that memory fragment, we slept together before!”

Yunyun’s words were unquestionably another thunderbolt.

Boom…

Jiang Yan felt like his brain had been blown to smithereens.

Slept? Slept in which sense?

An emergency meeting convened in Jiang Yan’s mind:

[Hello? Is this emergency services? There’s a little brat slandering me… Yeah, right, she really is kinda cute… Ah, no, she keeps making me think I’m the one driving this runaway carriage… But then I realize, the driver probably isn’t me… Oh, and the passenger isn’t her either… I really am not some beast!!!]

Ji Chuxue, worthy of being the senior sister, stepped forward at this moment. She crouched down and said softly to Yunyun:

“Yunyun, you said it was a memory fragment, didn’t you? Didn’t you also say that in the memory fragment, the future you is Little Six’s wife? After marriage, a wife naturally sleeps with her husband.

But right now, you’re still an unmarried little girl, and you’re young. So you and Little Six can’t sleep together.”

After hearing Ji Chuxue’s explanation, Yunyun nodded obediently and replied sweetly: “Okay, big sister, I understand. Then I’ll wait until I grow up and marry Brother Yan before we sleep together. I want Brother Yan to tell me lots and lots of wonderful bedtime stories.”

Ji Chuxue pinched Yunyun’s soft, still-baby-fat cheek and said with a smile:

“Yunyun is so smart, you understood right away. So will you stay with Sister Ji, okay?”

“Okay!” Yunyun agreed at once. She really liked the big sister in front of her.

“Yunyun, won’t you come stay with me? I… I could teach you how to put on makeup.”

Wen Yue genuinely liked Yunyun too. She felt that having such an adorable little sister wouldn’t be half bad.

Yunyun studied Wen Yue carefully for a moment, then asked in confusion: “Makeup? Is it like how you do yours?”

Jiang Yan frantically winked at Yunyun—don’t you dare agree! Makeup was not a good thing!

Especially when done by someone with clumsy hands—that was truly terrifying!

However, Jiang Yan’s hint was automatically interpreted by Yunyun as: learn from her.
