Hand yourself over to the nation, and may the dragon god's offspring bring prosperity to the en

Rong Ming stopped when he got close enough to feel the flow of air when Long Xiaoxiao was breathing. He could even touch Long Xiaoxiao's head with his outstretched hand.

They were so close that Long Xiaoxiao started to get nervous and looked at Rong Ming cautiously.

The people behind Rong Ming were sweating bullets. Just as they were starting to worry that Long Xiaoxiao would suddenly go berserk, Rong Ming made a move. He slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on Long Xiaoxiao's cheek.

The smooth, hard scales feel warm to the touch, yet have a cool sheen.

"Chief!"

The people behind him were almost scared out of their wits by Rong Ming's bold move, but to their surprise, nothing happened. Qinglong just stood there and let Rong Ming do whatever he wanted, which was quite unexpected.

"Qinglong has a pretty good temper," someone muttered quietly.

Long Xiaoxiao felt the warm palm on her cheek and felt a little itchy, but she didn't dare to shake it off, afraid that she would use too much force and throw Rongming down the mountain. So she could only keep her eyes on Rongming.

Such obedient eyes actually look rather cute.

Seeing that Long Xiaoxiao didn't reject his actions, Rong Ming immediately got an idea. He slowly moved his hand across Long Xiaoxiao's face, finally reaching the top of her head, and stroked it like petting a cat.

However, Long Xiaoxiao has no hair, only scales.

As Long Xiaoxiao felt the warmth on her head, she suddenly remembered the elders in the magical world. They always liked to pat her head and praise her for being cute and smart, the most powerful dragon cub they had ever seen.

When someone patted her head again in this other world, Long Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel like crying.

The system detected Long Xiaoxiao's emotional fluctuation: "Don't like being patted on the head? You can move a little."

In any case, as long as Long Xiaoxiao makes any move, they will be on high alert and will definitely not dare to be so presumptuous again.

Long Xiaoxiao sullenly rejected the system's suggestion.

Having realized that Long Xiaoxiao posed no danger, Rong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, slowly lowered his hand, and turned around to say something to the people behind him. However, he did not notice that the ground beneath his feet was soft, and he stumbled and fell to the side.

Long Xiaoxiao hovered on the mountaintop, with cliffs on both sides. If Rong Ming fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Chief!"

The soldiers gasped and instinctively jerked forward.

Rongming fell too fast; no one had time to grab him.

Was he really going to die here like this? Rongming felt a rare sense of panic. He had never been afraid when he went to the battlefield; dying on the battlefield was a soldier's honor.

But what kind of death is it to accidentally fall off a cliff?

pat.

Rongming's heart was still pounding. When he felt the strange sensation on his waist, he looked down and saw the tail with a bluish glow slowly pulling him upwards, wrapped around his waist.

It wasn't until his feet touched the ground that Rong Ming realized that Long Xiaoxiao had saved his life.

The people behind them also realized this.

"It's the Azure Dragon!"

"The commander was saved by the Azure Dragon!"

"..."

I... survived?!

Even Rong Ming, who only had a research mindset towards Long Xiaoxiao, couldn't help but feel grateful. He knew that the terrain here was treacherous, and if he had really fallen, he would not have survived. This was equivalent to Long Xiaoxiao truly saving his life.

He turned around, looked at the Azure Dragon whose head was still resting on the rock, gazing at him calmly, and bowed deeply: "Thank you!"

Long Xiaoxiao roughly understood that his words meant he was thanking her.

"Little one, well done!" the system exclaimed excitedly.

He hadn't anticipated that Rong Ming would fall off the cliff, so he hadn't instructed Long Xiaoxiao to do anything. Yet Long Xiaoxiao's reaction was so quick!

Long Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, chuckled to herself, and said shyly, "It's alright."

Rongming calmed his racing heart on the spot, then turned and returned to the army. The force with which the Azure Dragon had pulled him up had caused him to strain his waist and abdomen, but it was not a serious problem. His immediate priority was to report the situation to his superiors.

Azure Dragons are definitely beings with advanced intelligence, but they either don't understand their language, or they understand it but disdain to respond.

Thinking this, Rong Ming turned around and glanced at Long Xiaoxiao, and their eyes met. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Long Xiaoxiao was smiling.

Rong Ming put aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, went to the other side, took out his communication device, and began to report the situation.

The soldiers did not retreat; they needed to monitor Long Xiaoxiao's every move.

Long Xiaoxiao thought they would leave after visiting her a few times, but they hadn't left yet, which puzzled her. So she leaned over and asked the system, "Why aren't they leaving?"

"They like you," the system replied dismissively.

The system has harvested a lot of faith points from these people, and it seems to like them quite a bit.

When Long Xiaoxiao heard that someone liked her, she immediately became happy, shook her head happily, and used a rock to polish her dragon horns.

Long Xiaoxiao is five years old, it's almost time to change the actor.

Her sudden movement drew the attention of everyone below.

"She's grinding the corners!"

“I remember deer also wear down their antlers.”

"so hot!"

"..."

The dragon is an enduring romantic symbol of China. Now, seeing it in person, everyone, while ensuring their own safety, naturally stared intently at the little dragon in front of them.

Long Xiaoxiao felt a little shy from being stared at. She looked at the crowd below with her big eyes for a while, and then quietly hid her head behind the rock.

The action was so obvious that everyone realized what was happening. Someone asked incredulously, "Is it shy?"

"They probably just don't want to see us?"

"Come on, if you don't want to see this, just yell a couple of times and we'll all run away."

"It's so intelligent and understanding."

"And it's very friendly to humans."

"..."

The discussion about the Azure Dragon has started again.

Long Xiaoxiao couldn't understand what they were saying. She was just idly munching on grass behind the rocks. The system wasn't talking to her either. She was at an age where she was very talkative, and she felt a little stifled.

After reporting his work and receiving instructions from his superiors, Rong Ming immediately returned and ordered, "Continue to guard Qinglong and do not make any other moves."

The higher-ups have begun preparing to organize a team of linguists to analyze Long Xiaoxiao's language. However, since Long Xiaoxiao has only let out a howl when she left Lingshan, the data is still insufficient. The higher-ups' idea is to have Rongming try to get Long Xiaoxiao to speak.
