Genasar swaggered in front of Aixi, holding a bowl of fresh ice cream.
โCall me big brother.โ
โBig brother.โ
โCall me daddy.โ
โDaddy.โ
โCall me hubby.โ
โHubby.โ
Beep.
Genasar helplessly covered his face, paying no mind to Aixi as she ate her ice cream.
โWhy is it that hearing her talk just doesn’t excite me at all? It feels like an old eunuch visiting a brothelโcompletely powerless.โ
There was absolutely no emotion in Aixiโs voice, and that made Genasar rather unhappy.
โSheโs so clever, could it beโฆโ
Genasar had an idea, though he just didnโt want to accept it.
But Aixiโs intelligence truly surpassed that of the other White Dragons. He had to verify it.
He leaned over, his expression serious:
โOdd changes stay, even changes swap.โ
Aixi looked up at him, tilted her head in confusion, then went back to what she was doing.
โYou donโt understand? Thatโs odd. Then, Palace Jade Liquor.โ
Aixi ignored him, which irritated Genasar a bit. He poked her on the head.
โSay something, do you get it or not?โ
Interrupted from eating, Aixi gave him a speechless look.
โNo, I donโt understand.โ
Genasar quickly moved closer, his big face pressed against her little face.
โAre you pretending not to understand, or do you really not understand?โ
(โก_0)
She didnโt answer again, just looked at Genasar with the kind of gaze one gives a fool.
But Genasar didnโt get angry. In fact, he thought that was a good thing.
โNever mind, go on eating.โ
โWeird little thing.โ โ_โ
Genasar didnโt bother with her anymore, feeling a bit relieved.
โAs long as she didnโt Transmigrate like me, thatโs good. Thereโs no way this world could tolerate two heroes, one male and one female is no exception.โ
Genasar couldnโt guarantee his dear fellow countryman wouldnโt stab him in the back, so he could only be on guard.
โAs long as she isnโt, thatโs fine. Butโฆ I donโt know if Iโm still considered a hero after being reborn. Will they summon other heroes too?โ
He shook his head, refusing to think about such nonsense. Anyway, for now, heโd just stay safe and grow in Geliโs Nest. With his current talents, he was definitely qualified to compete for dominance.
Then he noticed that the eating sounds behind him had vanished.
Turning his head, he saw Aixi sprawled on the ground, motionless.
โHuh? Did she get poisoned by the food?โ
But soon, he detected a faint, steady breathingโit turned out sheโd fallen asleep.
โYouth is great. You can just fall asleep the moment you lie down.โ
For a dragon hatchling, being sleepy and gluttonous was perfectly normal. Genasar didnโt think much of it.
Looking at the sleeping Aixi, he wondered whether to toss her back into her hatching chamber.
But after some thought, he gave up on the idea. This place was perfectly safe anyway, she could lie wherever she liked.
Genasar also lay down nearby, smiling as he watched for a while.
He had to admit, Aixiโs looks would be considered attractive whether by human or dragon standards.
โHmm, itโs not bad having another little sister for company.โ
He muttered softly, then drifted off to sleep himself.
โGenasar, Genasar.โ
Aixiโs feeble voice woke him from a deep sleep. Bleary-eyed, Genasar rubbed his eyes with his claws and asked:
โWhatโs wrong?โ
โSave me.โ
โHuh?โ
Fully awake, Genasar saw in front of him Geli, looking thoroughly indecent, hugging Aixi and grabbing her head, kneading and rubbing.
โMaster, what are you doing?โ
Without stopping her hands or turning her head, she answered:
โEhehe~ Let me tell you, this little one is just like you, a real treasure.โ
Genasar recognized the familiar look on Geliโs faceโexactly the same as when he himself had just hatched.
โUhโฆ I can tell youโre excited, but calm down first. What if she thinks youโre going to eat the kid?โ
When Geliโs excitement finally passed, she released Aixi.
She straightened up, put one hand on her waist, cleared her throat, and spoke:
โAhem, hereโs the thing. Among the White Dragons, thereโs a chance of a special extreme individual appearingโone with exceptional intelligence, basically, a born dragon sage.โ
Hearing this, Genasarโs eyes widened as he looked at the pouting Aixi.
โOhh~ No wonder, sheโs a mutant like me.โ
โExactly! I didnโt expect it either. I was just planning to get you a plush ball, but when I picked a random female dragon egg about to hatch, I ended up with a Chosen Sage. Mm~ I must have saved the world in my previous life, hehehe~โ
โSeems youโve revealed your real motive.โ (ไธไธไธ)
Geli, realizing her slip, didnโt feel the slightest bit ashamed.
โOh, whatever. Sheโs so cleverโwouldnโt it be great if she became your junior disciple? Come on, little one, whatโs your name~?โ
She leaned forward, hands on her knees, smiling as she asked Aixi.
โYou didnโt even ask her name before grabbing her head and rubbing it?โ
โYou shut up, Iโm talking to her.โ
โSay it.โ
Genasar pouted and stopped talking. Aixi shot him a helpless look, as if seeking guidance.
He shrugged back at Aixi, and she seemed to understand the situation.
โMy name is Aixi.โ
โExcellent! From now on, youโre my disciple too! Ehehe~โ
Just like that, Genasar had a new junior disciple.
And Geli didnโt delay in the matter of accepting disciples. Soon, she brewed a big pot of Brilliance Potion, preparing to make an Apprentice Ceremony Potion for Aixi.
โMaster, what potion are you making now?โ
Genasar asked as Geli tinkered at the rim of a big cauldron, Aixi beside him.
โDonโt know, I havenโt named it. Itโs just to boost a White Dragonโs brainpower. Of course, this batch is made with the best ingredients~โ
She winked at Genasar and Aixi, then turned back to her work.
โUhโฆ Sis, youโd better prepare yourself.โ
โPrepare for what?โ
โEverything.โ
Genasar recalled the cauldron of highly corrosive potion heโd been soaked in when he was born.
Admittedly, it had workedโhis scales were indeed prettier afterwardโbut the pain at the timeโฆ
Even now, the memory made him shudder all over.
But soon, he grinned wickedly at Aixi.
He was a bit curious about what sheโd look like if all her scales fell off, or if there were any other bizarre side effects.
Just thinking about it made him laugh out loud, which earned a speechless look from Aixi.
โWhat are you laughing at? So weird.โ
โYouโll find out soon enough.โ
โ?โ
Very soon, Geli finished concocting the potion. She landed behind Aixi, scooped her up, and gently placed her on the cauldronโs rim.
Curious, Genasar climbed up as well, and the scene before him surprised him.
โThisโฆ looks much more normal!โ
The cauldron was filled with a clear liquid, with a few bits of material occasionally floating on the surface.
Aixi swam nimbly in it, even leaping out of the water and spinning in the air like a dolphin.
โUhโฆ Aixi, do you feel anything strange?โ
Poking her head above the water, Aixi looked at her body and replied,
โNo.โ
โNo? That canโt be. Weird.โ
Just as he was puzzling over it, Geliโs gloomy smile appeared behind him, and her voice rang out, full of a certain malicious delight:
โDo you have some problem with your masterโs potion-making skills?โ
โHuh? No, umโฆ itโs just weird, for something so effective, shouldnโt there be some side effects?โ
Back then, his own potion had been corrosiveโsomething youโd remember for a lifetime.
Geli thought for a moment, then replied confidently:
โThere are side effects, and theyโre very serious.โ
โVery serious? What is it, nothing dangerous I hope?โ
He just wanted to watch the show, but if it was โvery serious,โ just how serious could it be for her to say that?
Geli stared at Genasar seriously and spoke in a deep voice:
โYouโllโฆ become beautiful.โ
โHuh?โ
