Bride of the Dragon Emperor

After the nerve wracking incident in the throne hall,the whole palace resumed on its usual pace. Xufeng on the other hand was still in deep dilema as his two strong legs trotted along the palace hallway while following a certain someone. His pair of peach blossom eyes cautiously glanced at the figure before him.

His handsome face scrunched in despair as he ask himself why was he here, accompanying this frightening little ancestor?

In the middle of his deep thought, Xufeng felt something that was pulling his robe. He bowed his head down and turned to look at the direction of his sleeve. Upon looking, he saw a squishy set of jade like fingers tugging his robe. Xufeng thought that those set of little fingers was beautiful and mesmerizing. But the weird things was, the more he stared at those fingers the more his heart felt stuffy.

Why is it?

That's when he looked up and saw that perfectly carved face that he finally knew why. The little guy repeatedly tugged at the Deputy Commander's robe till he gets annoyed. His cutie little face was now crumpled in annoyance as his now flaming eyes glared at the man standing stupidly in front of him.

Xufeng gulped a mouth full of his invisible saliva down his throat at the sight of the squishy little dumpling who now resembles an annoyed little tiger ready to squish his whole being into a pulp.

A memory which happened at the study room immediately passed right into his mind. That certain memory though brought him fear and sent shivers down his spine. He trembled and hastily stepped backwards seemingly trying to escape from an incoming predicament.

He shot a glance at that seemingly harmless round face of the child. Xufeng shook his head. This little guy, though he looked cute and adorable... His strength was actually so strong that he himself - the Deputy Commander of the elite troupe, Black Calvary was surpassed.

The little dumpling frowned upon seeing his funny expression. He titled his head side ways as he curiously thought to himself, 'what's with Commander Uncle's face? Why was he acting strange and funny?'

With his head tilted to the side, Long Zixin looked like a curious and innocent little bunny. He looked more adorable and squishy with his slightly pouted lips. But that seemingly innocent little move of the little guy made Xufeng almost yell like a crazed lady. He hastily covered his lower region with his two big hand as if his life solely depended on it. Xufeng's face turned serious, he silently made a serious stance in his mind.

He should protect it no matter what!. .

Realizing the reason for his uncle commander's weird behavior, the little guy crossed his tubby arms on his chest. His eyes stared fixly at him as if saying, 'Stupid Uncle'

Xufeng felt at loss with the little guy's stare. Not covering his lower part anymore, he shot him a half accusing half anxious glare. "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Instead of answering, the little guy, Long Zixin just rolled his eyes.

This little brat, did he just... roll his eyes at me?

"You-" Xufeng was completely lost for words. He was about to say something when the little guy's words cut him off.

"Commander Uncle, don't worry. Daddy said Zixin should practice restraint. No matter what, Zixin is an obedient child so Zixin will not kick you again even though Zixin was slightly annoyed by you" the child said with his cute and milky voice.

Although the child's words indicated his safety, his arrogant tone did not sound assuring at all. Though still afraid, Xufeng summon his courage and asked the little guy again. Long Zixin complied and obediently nod in aggreement. Still, Xufeng wasn't convince. His repeated questions annoyed the child once again.

"Commander Uncle come to think of it, how come those stupid brats were able to hurt Zixin when Zixin was actually a million times stronger than them?"

Upon hearing the child's statement,  the handsome face of the Deputy Commander froze. Yeah! That's right! This little brat's words made sense.

Seeing the man before him come into realization, Long Zixin opened his little mouth and spoke again. "Commander Uncle, if you ask Zixin again, I might kick you for real"
