Xiao Xun looked at Sailor Pes, and seeing Her Majesty nod, he said to the Dragon Emissary, "Alright."
Outside the Fire Shield Divine King Palace, the Dragon Emissary was almost nose-to-nose with Xiao Xun, sniffing gently and saying, "The scent on you is so special."
Xiao Xun took two steps back, "Don't be like that."
The Dragon Emissary smiled, flicked his wide cloak, and it landed perfectly on Xiao Xun's head.
When Xiao Xun pulled the cloak off his head, a giant silver dragon disappeared into the clouds at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Xun, holding a corner of the cloak, looked up and said in surprise, "So fast." He read the book.
Sailor Pes said from behind Xiao Xun, "Dragons are like us, they have all sorts of dragons, only we call them nations, and they call them dragon tribes. All adult dragons can transform into human form, but the transformation is not thorough, and their bodies will always carry some characteristics of the dragon itself."
Xiao Xun turned to look at the Empress, "So, when my dragon grows up, can it also transform into human form?"
Sailor Pes nodded, "That's right."
Xiao Xun frowned, "Then the characteristics will be too obvious, two heads... wouldn't that be a two-headed ogre!"
Sailor Pes looked confused, "What monster is that?"
Xiao Xun described it to her, which made Sailor Pes laugh.
He thought the Empress was mocking his dragon for not looking good when it turned into a human, and said with a straight face, "What's so funny about that?"
"No, don't worry! You can mention your transformation requirements to your dragon at that time, or, don't transform at all. If it really turns into that silly appearance, it will greatly reduce combat effectiveness."
While they were joking with each other, the captain of the guards came over, "Your Majesty, there are several urgent documents that require your imperial review."
"Alright, I know." After saying that, he said to Xiao Xun, "Then you go and be busy! I also have to get to work."
Xiao Xun returned to the library, and when night fell, he returned to the castle, just in time for dinner.
Sailor Pes seemed very happy, as if something good had happened.
After dinner, Xiao Xun eagerly asked her, "Your Majesty, what happy thing happened today? Share it!"
Sailor Pes didn't say anything, but gestured for Xiao Xun to follow her. The two got into a car and went to the underground palace where the two dragons were kept.
Xiao Xun finally couldn't help but ask again, "What exactly happened? Why do we have to come here."
Sailor Pes turned to look at Xiao Xun, her expression excited, "Our country has become the only country in the history of this planet to have three Dragon Knights simultaneously."
Xiao Xun didn't react immediately to what three dragons meant.
"Do you know what that means?"
Facing the Empress's inquiry, Xiao Xun subconsciously shook his head, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Sailor Pes said excitedly, "It means that when we go to war in the future, as long as the three of us Dragon Knights make a move, we will only attack and not defend."
Xiao Xun followed the Empress to the two dragons, "You've been talking for so long, where is the other Dragon Knight?"
Sailor Pes pointed next to the big black dragon, "The other Dragon Knight hasn't been chosen yet, but we have another dragon egg."
Xiao Xun followed her finger and looked over. Unlike the dragon eggs that were taller than people before, the dragon egg in front of him was only the size of an ostrich egg.
"Your Majesty, you're not kidding, are you? This is a dragon egg?"
The big black dragon lowered its head, "Of course it's a dragon egg. This is my twin brother."
Xiao Xun covered his nose, "What's going on?"
Sailor Pes smiled and said, "The cleaning staff found this egg next to the broken eggshell. After identification by dragon hunters, although this egg is very small, it is indeed a dragon egg, and it is about to hatch soon. The black dragon admits that it recognizes the scent on this egg."
Xiao Xun looked surprised, "What is this? An egg within an egg." He then looked at the Empress, "Then who are you going to give it to?"
"Vincent will be back soon, I plan to give it to him!"
Xiao Xun nodded, "You are the Emperor, and you have the final say. But then again, after all, a dragon egg..."
Sailor Pes ignored her status as Emperor and directly covered his mouth, giving him frantic eye signals.
He instantly understood, knowing he had said the wrong thing. He looked up at the two dragons. The twin-headed dragon was "chatting" with the big black dragon and hadn't noticed what was happening below.
The two had even fought yesterday, but today they were like old friends. Xiao Xun couldn't help but wonder if he shouldn't have separated the two dragons; it would have been good to have a companion.
After looking at the dragon egg, they called the slaves who specialized in serving the two dragons, gave them some instructions, and then returned to the castle.
Xiao Xun took off his long robe, felt cold, and put it back on, "Is there any news from those envoys you sent out?"
Mu Jiahe lay on the bed, "Can we not discuss state affairs in the bedroom? I'm tired enough during the day, just let my mind relax, okay?"
Xiao Xun was also looking for something to talk about. These were not his concerns. The entire country was actively preparing for war. If a war broke out, he wouldn't have to consider leading troops to the front line.
Some people had already expressed their loyalty to him in private, saying that as long as Xiao Xun was the commander, they were willing to be his brave vanguards.
These were things Xiao Xun hadn't told Mu Jiahe, to avoid Mu Jiahe's suspicion and causing instability in the court.
The House of Representatives was holding meetings every day now, with anonymous voting. It wasn't that the position of Prime Minister was unattractive, but rather that few people were willing to be Prime Minister during wartime.
It was thankless work, extremely easy to be blamed, and at any moment, one's years of cultivated influence could instantly collapse.
The regulations of the House of Representatives clearly stated that if new executive personnel could not be elected within seven days, the Emperor would directly appoint them, and the House of Representatives would not have any objections, regardless of who the Emperor appointed to fill the vacancy.
Therefore, after work every day, the participating ministers and elders of the House of Representatives would gather in the "courtyard" of the House of Representatives, pushing responsibilities onto each other with various polite refusals. Instead of the usual confrontation and hostility.
Mu Jiahe rested her arms behind her head, looking up, thinking about something unknown.
Suddenly, she turned to look at Xiao Xun, who was lying on the bed, "Why are you still wearing that robe?"
Xiao Xun tightened his collar and said, "Cold!"
Mu Jiahe got up and tugged at Xiao Xun's clothes, "A real man is at the peak of his vitality, what are you cold about? Hurry up and take it off."
Xiao Xun curled into a ball, "Your Majesty, you really speak from a position of comfort. I told you before, if I could generate fire from my body like you, I assure you, I wouldn't even mind wearing it and getting heat rash. But now, I really can't stand it. If I catch a cold and infect you, it won't be good."
"I'm not afraid, take it off!"
Mu Jiahe, like a "hooligan," forcefully stripped Xiao Xun's clothes and threw them aside.
Xiao Xun quickly burrowed under the covers, but the silk covers were even colder. He hugged his knees and shrunk into a ball.
This made Mu Jiahe laugh heartily, "Look at you. Do you know that the people of the Winter Tribe are born with the storm and are not afraid of the severe cold? They can even jump into the river water that has just frozen naked in the middle of winter. We are far behind them. How can we win like this?"
Xiao Xun shivered just by listening, "The Winter Tribe also exists on our Blue Star, but we call them the 'belligerent nation' over there."
Mu Jiahe moved closer, "I really can't do anything with you. Oh! Why are you so cold? Are you sick?" Saying this, she placed the back of her hand on Xiao Xun's forehead.
The blood in Xiao Xun's body, which was about to "freeze," instantly boiled.
Cold? He even wanted to lift the covers to cool down, to at least experience the Winter Tribe's winter river jumping sport.
The two returned to their original world.
Xiao Xun picked up his phone to check the time and found that Chu Ningxiang had sent him a message: "Can I see you again? I can stand very far away."
Looking at the text message on his phone, Xiao Xun bit his lip, his heart filled with emotion. He typed in the message, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry for hurting you, but we are really not people from the same world. Forget me! Take care."
But as his thumb was about to press the delete button, he hesitated.
As he was about to delete the content and resend it, Mu Jiahe suddenly pounced over, "What are you looking at? So engrossed."
Xiao Xun pulled his phone away, accidentally pressing the send button. The phone also fell from his hand to the ground. It was too late to recall it.
Mu Jiahe looked at Xiao Xun, "What's wrong, you look lost?"
Xiao Xun glanced at the phone on the ground, sighed inwardly. Perhaps this was fate.
He got up and started to put on his clothes, saying to Mu Jiahe, "It's nothing, I was just looking at some news. I'll go make you something to eat. Is there anything you want to eat?"
