Chapter 14: Time is a cycle Section 3
After a while, the largest egg was suddenly hit by the small creature hidden inside, making a small hole. He Wei and Zhuo Fei were startled. Just as they were about to move closer to see what was going on, an orange head popped out of the hole.
This little orange creature looked exactly like He Wei. It turned its head to look at the men and women around it, twisted its body, cried twice, then jumped out of the eggshell and went into He Wei's arms.
Holding this warm and soft little body, He Wei couldn't help but tremble. She turned her head and looked at Zhuo Fei: "Zhuo Fei, I... I feel like I'm dreaming. Is this our... our child?"
Zhuo Fei nodded vigorously with excitement: "Yes! Yes, yes! Absolutely! Look how much it looks like you!"
The captain of the medical team stepped forward at the right time to remind him: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have given birth to a strong little prince. Now, if you don't mind, I need to take him for birth testing and cleaning."
Although He Wei was reluctant, she thought that the captain was also doing it for the good of the child, so she could only reluctantly hand over the baby in her arms. But as soon as she stretched out her hand, the originally obedient Xiaolong suddenly yelled at the medical captain fiercely, and the momentum and tone were really similar to Zhuo Fei.
After he finished shouting, he turned his head and looked at his mother with pitiful eyes. His big eyes were full of tears, as if he was saying to He Wei, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"
"Can...can we not check it for the time being?" He Wei's heart softened into a puddle of water, and she turned her head to ask the medical team leader earnestly.
Looking at the lively appearance of the little dinosaur, the captain nodded: "Okay, the little prince is very attached to you, I won't disturb you for now."
He Wei nodded happily. Zhuo Fei grinned and reached out to touch the baby's head. "This little guy has a temper quite like mine. Hahaha, come, let me hug him too—ah!"
The hand he stretched out was bitten hard by the little dinosaur! Although the baby had just broken out of its shell, its biting power was no less than that of an adult dinosaur. Zhuo Fei couldn't help but grimace in pain, but he had to endure it: "Stinky boy, I'm your dad!"
"Hmph..." After hearing what he said, the little dinosaur finally let go with a look of disdain, turned his head to look at his mother, and in an instant put on a cute and lovable expression, and shrank back into his mother's arms with a howl.
Zhuo Fei's face twitched. What does this brat mean?
He Wei was very happy and stroked the baby's forehead. At this moment, a "wooo" sound came from the second egg. The young couple immediately raised their heads excitedly and saw a pink little dragon sticking its head out of the shell. It still looked exactly like He Wei. Zhuo Fei couldn't help scratching his golden hair head: "...Why doesn't it look like me?"
"It should be because of the Dragon God bloodline. It seems that the mixed-blood baby has strong abilities in all aspects." The medical team leader watched with a professional eye.
He Wei hugged the pink little dinosaur into her arms, turned her head to look at her husband, and said with a little trepidation: "It doesn't look like you... Do you still like it?"
"Of course! Silly girl, what are you thinking about!" Zhuo Fei's face was full of joy, and he reached out to rub He Wei's head, "It's your and my child, how could I not like it?" After saying that, he leaned forward to kiss He Wei's face.
The pink dragon curled up in her arms looked at her father's behavior, and immediately followed him, imitating her father's actions and pecking He Wei on the face. He Wei was giggling happily, but the little prince next to her was not happy, and stretched out his claws to slap his sister.
"Oi! Don't hit your sister!" He Wei was worried that her daughter would get hurt, but the little pink dragon, who had just opened her big eyes to act cute, narrowed her eyes, roared, and pounced on her brother. The two newborn little guys rolled on the ground and started fighting, and the little princess was not at all at a disadvantage.
Zhuo Fei stopped his wife who wanted to step forward to stop them: "It's okay, it's okay. It's their nature to be belligerent. Just let them have some fun."
He Wei observed for a while. Fortunately, the little guy had not grown teeth yet and could not cause any harm. She then turned her attention back to the last dragon egg.
The smallest one.
Yang Xue also came over, put her head close to the dragon egg, and listened quietly to the movements inside.
He Wei asked: "How is it, Mom, is the baby moving?"
Yang Xue frowned, as if she couldn't hear anything. Seeing this, the medical captain stepped forward and said to the others, "This last dragon egg is the smallest, so its growth and development will be slower than the other two. Please don't worry, I believe it can hatch."
The couple nodded, moved in front of the egg, and stared at it motionlessly, fearing that they would miss the slightest movement of the dragon egg. The little prince and princess, who were fighting just now, stopped fighting and ran back together, curled up in their parents' arms, staring at the smallest dragon egg together, as if they were guessing whether the one inside was a brother or a sister.
But things did not develop smoothly as He Wei expected.
The last dragon egg still had no movement after a month. He Wei was unwilling to accept this fact, so she brought the dragon egg back to her bedroom, let it sleep with her in bed, wrapped it in a warm quilt, and guarded the dragon egg with Zhuo Fei every day and night, hoping that when they woke up one morning, a little dinosaur would lie on the eggshell and look at them.
That evening, she was resting in bed with the dragon egg as usual, reading fairy tales to it from time to time, while Zhuo Fei was playing with the other two babies in the garden outside.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in the night sky, and a middle-aged man with black hair and a long beard suddenly appeared in front of He Wei. He was wearing a moon-white robe that was quite similar to ancient Chinese paintings, with his long hair tied up in a crown. He looked like a cultivator who had walked out of a painting.
He glanced at He Wei and said coldly: "Okay, now you should return your life to me."
He Wei had long guessed that the Dragon God might come to visit again, and she was mentally prepared, so she didn't panic. She just hugged the unhatched dragon egg in her hand tightly, and said to the Dragon God in a pleading tone: "Can you please wait a little longer? I still have a child that hasn't hatched yet. I want to wait until it hatches before returning that life to you."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately showed an unhappy expression, snorted heavily, and scolded: "Open your eyes and see clearly, the egg in your arms is already dead!"
This powerful sentence made He Wei tremble immediately, but she still insisted on holding the dragon egg tightly in her arms, shaking her head and responding: "No! It's just because it's too small, so it needs to wait a little longer before it has the strength to bite through the eggshell and crawl out. Please don't talk nonsense! "
"How dare you accuse me of talking nonsense?" Upon hearing this, the Dragon God was so angry that his beard stood up. He took a step forward and reached out to grab the egg in He Wei's hand, "Let me prove to you whether this egg still has life!"
As a mother, He Wei's whole body tensed up suddenly. Her eyes changed into vertical pupils. She put the egg behind her, transformed into a red dragon and rushed towards the man.
Two rays of light, one red and one gold, suddenly illuminated the palace garden. Zhuo Fei heard the noise and hurried back with the two babies in his arms. He saw that He Wei had turned into a dragon and was fighting with a golden dragon in mid-air. The golden dragon actually looked extremely similar to He Wei!
"Tsk... You're here so soon." Prince Zhuoyue walked over from the corridor at the side, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing murderous intent.
"Brother? What do you mean? Who is that person?" Zhuo Fei had never seen the Dragon God himself , and he had no idea that He Wei had exchanged her life for his. Now seeing that this golden dragon dared to attack his wife, he immediately roared angrily and handed the two babies to Zhuo Yue, "You help me look after the children, I'll go help He Wei!"
He Wei, who heard the voice, turned around and tried to stop him: "Zhuo Fei, don't come over - ah!"
At the moment when she was distracted, the golden dragon found an opportunity to attack, stretched out its sharp claws, clamped the red dragon's body, and pressed her to the ground. The tone of his voice was even more angry than before: "How can this be! As my daughter, you are so weak! If outsiders know about this, you will be a disgrace to me! I might as well strangle you to death here today!"
When Zhuo Fei heard this, he rushed forward without caring about anything, but was stopped by Zhuo Yue. He was about to break free from his brother's restraints when he heard the Red Dragon underneath him shouting, "Strangle me to death, do you think I'm afraid of death? Anyway, you didn't raise me for a single day after you gave birth to me!"
The golden dragon's claws, which had been raised, suddenly got stuck in the air. He just lowered his head and looked at the red dragon that looked similar to him. After a few seconds, he let go of He Wei without saying a word, and returned to his human form. He grabbed a moon-white robe in the air as if he was taking something from the air, quickly put it on, and stood with his back to the red dragon, his face tense and complicated.
Zhuo Fei hurried over, took off his coat, wrapped it around He Wei, who had transformed back into human form, and asked anxiously , "Xiao Wei! What were you talking about with this old man just now? Is he... is he your father?"
He Wei walked around him and glanced at Zhuo Yue who was not far away. She saw that he nodded at her, as if signaling her with his eyes: "Now that things have come to this, let's tell Zhuo Fei the truth first."
But she couldn't, at least not tell him everything.
So He Wei nodded: "Well - he, he is the Dragon God, maybe... maybe he is really my father, I am not sure..."
"How is that possible! You look exactly like me from head to toe, how could you not be my daughter?" When the man heard her say that, he turned around angrily and glared at He Wei.
Zhuo Yue, who was standing by, had an amused expression on his face: "Tsk tsk...if she is really your daughter, would Lord Dragon God be willing to take action against his own daughter?"
"As my daughter, you should be as invincible and brave as me, but what about her? She has to be trapped in this boring love affair. How can I allow this to happen?"
"Really? So you think love is a shame. Then I'm curious. If you don't like love, then how did your daughter come about? Wasn't she born from you and your beloved, or did she pop out of a stone?"
"You——" The Dragon God was choked and speechless, "How dare you, a little fool, disrespect me? You are courting death!"
Seeing that he was about to fight Zhuo Yue again, He Wei quickly opened her mouth and shouted: "Stop! Don't fight!"
And the Dragon God actually stopped moving after she finished speaking, snorted coldly, and turned around to ignore her. Zhuo Yue couldn't help but sigh with amusement: "People in the world are really diverse, but it's really rare to find someone as awkward as you."
He was clearly blaming himself for not raising his daughter, but when they met he actually fought with his own daughter. This Dragon God really had a weird temper.
"I don't care who you are, but I know that if you owe someone something, you must pay it back." He Wei said, "It's just that I can't pay you back now. I still have a baby that hasn't hatched yet, and I can't just ignore it. Please give me a little more time. Once the baby hatches, I will definitely pay you back what I owe you."
