Shortly after this was posted, the Dragon Research Institute released another statement filled with severe condemnation.
[Dragon Research Institute: In the early hours of today, a group of suspicious dragon-thieving criminals were discovered within Great Xia.]
[After interrogation, these individuals were identified as Americans.]
[In response, Great Xia states that should such incidents occur again, Great Xia will show no leniency!]
[Great Xia's blade has always been sharp!]
[If you admire Great Xia's guardian divine beast, you may submit an application to Great Xia!]
Beneath the text announcement was a very clear photograph.
And in the picture were the soldiers who had come to Dai Xiaomei's home tonight, intending to steal the dragon.
However...
These soldiers now looked quite tragic, their bodies wrapped in bloody bandages, appearing utterly pathetic.
When numerous netizens saw this statement, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"Our nation is so domineering!"
"Strongly refuse! Damn it, what do these Americans want?"
"They dare to steal the guardian divine beast, damn it! Do they really think Great Xia is easy to bully?"
"Great Xia has always been a nation of etiquette, but we are by no means weak and easily bullied!"
"Stop talking, don't you guys know yet? When we discovered the guardian divine beast, the Korean nation immediately filed for heritage status."
"Claiming the guardian divine beast is theirs."
"To put it mildly, they are truly shameless!"
"They're just a small territory, what do they need a face for? Can a face be eaten as food?"
...
This time, whether keyboard warriors online or saintly figures, every citizen of Great Xia was righteously condemning and cursing this act.
Many Great Xia netizens even connected to the international network and posted on international social media platforms to curse the participants of this incident.
The reason was simple!
Dragons are the totem of Great Xia!
And the status of dragons among every citizen of Great Xia is comparable to faith!
Great Xia has a history of up to five thousand years, and throughout these five thousand years, the status of dragons in the hearts of Great Xia people has been extraordinary.
In everyone's heart, the status of dragons is sacred and inviolable!
Anyone who dares to covet them will surely incur the wrath of all the people of Great Xia!
Precisely because of this, nowadays in Great Xia, as long as you open your phone, the news pushed to you will all be about Ao Yuan.
There's him rushing into the river to save people, foreigners wanting to steal the dragon, and the love-hate relationship between Ao Yuan and Dai Xiaomei.
In short, Ao Yuan, along with Dai Xiaomei, has completely exploded in popularity.
Dai Xiaomei's popularity directly surged to the top of the Dou Sha platform, far surpassing the second place by two or three times.
And Dai Xiaomei's fan count has also grown from tens of millions to nearly a hundred million.
At this moment, Dou Sha officials had clearly noticed Dai Xiaomei's nationwide explosion in popularity.
They immediately channeled all the platform's resources to Dai Xiaomei.
Although they didn't understand why Dai Xiaomei hadn't been banned, and why Ao Yuan could still appear in Dai Xiaomei's stream,
And why Great Xia officials hadn't taken Ao Yuan away.
They only needed to know one thing: that Great Xia officials allowed Dai Xiaomei to continue streaming Ao Yuan!
...
The next day, after sunrise.
Ao Yuan was still sleeping when Dai Xiaomei and Mozi got up early to stream.
As soon as she opened the livestream, before she could say anything,
A torrent of bullet comments suddenly poured in.
"Old woman, you're amazing! Protecting the dragon, everyone's responsibility!"
"Old woman, what are you doing? I want to see the dragon, where is the dragon!"
"Old woman, what do you want me to see? I want to see if little dragon dragon is injured!"
Seeing the dense bullet comments in the livestream and the online viewership that had risen another level, Dai Xiaomei secretly gasped.
Since seeing the news online this morning, she knew her popularity would probably increase today.
But she never expected her popularity to surge so high.
Yesterday it was only nearly ten million, and today it was close to a hundred million.
Actually, thinking about it, it was normal. After all, Ao Yuan had done quite a lot yesterday!
Taking a breath and suppressing her excitement, Dai Xiaomei cleared her throat and said, "First of all, I want to declare that the guardian divine beast will no longer be called Little Dragon Dragon."
"He has a name, and it's Ao Yuan!"
After a pause, Dai Xiaomei added with a giggle, "Of course, you can also call him by his nickname 'Dai Dai'."
"Dai Dai?? Dai Xiaomei??"
"Amazing, amazing, old woman, I declare you the strongest!"
"I vaguely remember, back when Dai Dai was an egg, the old woman said she wouldn't be a mother."
"Isn't this showing your true colors!"
Glancing at the bullet comments, Dai Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.
Then she immediately changed the subject: "Brothers, for those of you who want to see Dai Dai, you might have to wait a bit."
"Because we are currently outside!"
After speaking, Dai Xiaomei and Mozi held hands and turned the camera around to show their surroundings.
The two were carrying large bags and packages. Dai Xiaomei was fine, but Mozi looked quite disheveled.
Before the netizens could ask, Dai Xiaomei complained, "Brothers, do you know?"
"I bought a big bag of ingredients yesterday and put them in the refrigerator. When I checked this morning, guess what I found."
"These foods have mysteriously disappeared!"
"I opened the surveillance footage and found out that Dai Dai ate all these foods late at night!"
"So this morning, Mozi and I came out to buy some food."
"But... Mozi and I both agreed that whatever we buy this morning, Dai Dai will eat it all as soon as we get back."
"Raising a dragon is really too tiring."
The netizens in the livestream couldn't help but laugh at Dai Xiaomei's exaggerated expression.
"This is a dragon, what's wrong with it eating a little?"
"Old woman, if you're tired, you can give him to me to raise. I'll definitely raise him well, *waggles eyebrows.jpg*"
"The one above, don't you understand? Old woman, I suspect you're hinting at something!"
"Dai Xiaomei: No, I'm just finding a good excuse to make money now."
"Big Brother: Enough said, I understand."
[User Xiaosao Ge tipped the streamer 'Super Rocket' +99, content: Hurry and don't let Dai Dai starve]
"Big brother is generous! Big brother is generous!"
"Oh my, I'm so tired, finally home!"
Just then, Dai Xiaomei sighed heavily.
As she spoke, she and Mozi, carrying large bags and packages, walked into the villa.
At this moment,
Ao Yuan, who was comfortably lying on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hmm~ smells good!"
Ao Yuan sniffed, his eyes brightening.
Then he sprang up and followed the scent directly.
For some reason, even though he had eaten so much last night,
Ao Yuan still felt a bit hungry upon waking up.
And upon seeing Dai Xiaomei and Mozi carrying large bags and packages downstairs,
Ao Yuan immediately became displeased. What's going on!
They're eating good food and didn't call him??
Heh, women!
