Zhongli took the ball of light home when the moon was dark and the wind was strong.

Not to mention that it took some time for Longlong to rush back to Liyue Harbor with the egg from the Salt of the Earth. Just the sight of the ball of light darting around restlessly was enough to make it seem like it would be stopped and interrogated by the Thousand Rocks Army if it entered the country during the day.

After all, it has only been a few days since the death of Emperor Rock King.

From a selfish point of view, Zhongli didn't want others to disturb Shen Qianluo's self-repair. Although Guangtuan seemed to prefer the lively and bustling appearance when there were more people.

With a step that was a little overwhelming, Zhongli finally carefully held the ball of light and stepped into his home. Even the retired emperor felt strange and unaccustomed to the long-lost feeling.

——He is really a male dragon and he doesn’t know how to take care of the eggs.

Or the one who always likes to tease him.

"Chirp! Chirp, chirp!" A white shadow flew past in the darkness. When they looked sideways, they saw a little white fox having heard the noise and running out from the house of its foster neighbor.

Proudly rubbing Zhongli's trouser leg, Xieluohu looked like he missed his meal ticket. After all, no matter how helpless Linghu was about his own meal ticket, it was still his own meal ticket.

Until Xieluo Fox rubbed against Zhongli and followed the scent to find Shen Qianluo, and decided to rub against him generously as they had not seen each other for a few days, he was suddenly stunned when he saw an egg.

The little fox opened its eyes wide, moved its ears, tilted its head and walked over to sniff, its tail stiffened little by little, and its big watery eyes gradually changed from surprise to confusion to horror.

Unfortunately, before Xiao Nao Kuo had time to think about why one of his meal tickets turned into an egg, the ball of light suddenly moved first. It was still the kind of movement that flew into the air, swaying left and right, and suddenly pounced on Xie Luohu.

I successfully got a fox that screamed, jumped up from the spot, turned into a white flash and flew away.

Well, probably the little fox won’t dare to step into his own house all night long.

The ball of light shook its head proudly, but Zhongli sighed helplessly and pulled it back from mid-air: "If you play tricks on him and scare him again, he will probably run away when he sees you in the future."

The ball of light rolled around in Zhongli's arms, obviously without any guilt in his heart, and even rubbed his wrist proudly, as if saying "I am familiar with this idiot, and only idiot Luohu would not dare to pay attention to him."

Zhongli didn't bother talking nonsense with him. He rubbed the ball of light to signal him to behave himself, and then lit up the lights in the room. The orange-yellow halo suddenly illuminated the warm... interior that was decorated according to the aesthetics of Shen Qianluo cards.

It was late at night. The dragon and the egg were looking at home quietly at the same time. It seemed that they could still faintly hear each other's heartbeat.

"Qianluo, in your current state...are you feeling hungry?"

The egg nodded, shaking back and forth.

Zhongli looked at the ball of light with no flaws on the surface and was silent for a moment. He did not ask any more questions. After nodding, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

The ball of light followed him in. But before he could completely step inside, he was blocked at the door by Zhongli.

He raised his head slightly and saw the shadow cast by Longlong's tall body completely covering him. His golden eyes under the dark shadow of his eyelashes showed the vertical pupils of a dragon. Dan instinctively wanted to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to move.

"The kitchen is full of fumes, so stay here for now and don't run around. If you accidentally fall into the pot... well, the scorching flames might hurt you."

If there was an expression on the egg, it would definitely be a harmless and puzzled expression with the head tilted.

Although Zhongli was not sure whether Shen Qianluo, who could swallow the molten stamens of the Exploding Flame Tree alive, would be harmed by the fire element...

But thinking about the light balls covered with green onions, ginger and garlic that he would have to clean... he decided to nip this extremely possible terrible incident in the bud.

Shen Qianluo is a mysophobe, I wonder if Shen Qianluo’s eggs (…?) are.

Under his persistent and unyielding gaze, the expression hidden behind the eggshell unexpectedly turned into one of pathetic grievance QAQ.

If Shen Qianluo could speak, he would be filled with grief and regret at this moment, "It is so sad that the Emperor would threaten others~"

Zhongli started to have a headache again.

Even so, he still didn't feel comfortable leaving the light ball and the egg alone in a room. If an egg mastered the trick of opening the door, sneaked out and was caught and boiled, he really didn't know how to find someone to redeem it.

So after thinking about it, he reached out and took the egg into his arms. Before the light ball became happy for a second, and before he could even feel happy, he quickly placed the egg on the emerging dragon horn and stuck it firmly.

Not too big, not too small, just the right shape.

Perhaps he was frightened by him, the ball of light stopped moving, and Zhongli's heart finally settled down.

He once avoided letting Shen Qianluo touch his dragon horns, for fear of scaring or defiling the person he cherished most, but now, he seemed to no longer have such thoughts.

He was so slow-witted and did not understand enough the young man in front of him who also cherished him. The moment he learned the whole truth, the strange distance between them called friendship, mutual respect and understanding seemed to finally disappear like a thin window paper that had been pierced.

At least now, he would never resist anything happening between him and Shen Qianluo that he would not actively touch upon in the past.

In other words, they really depended on each other. It was also the first time in the life of Morax, the God of Contract, that he acted like a rogue to someone.

Of course, the ball of light, who had no idea of ​​this, just squatted obediently on the dragon horn and waited for the food to be cooked.

Fortunately, Zhongli's action made him stay calm for a while, and he didn't make the mistake of rolling into the pan to get some heat and become a Sky Island omelette. In the end, Zhongli sat on this side of the dining table, and the light ball floated on the opposite side of the table. Facing the colorful food on the table together, they fell into a small silence.

So the egg rolled into Zhongli's hands.
