Ice Dragon and his baby

"Yuuri, I'm so hot, I'm going to melt, help me." Victor lay on Yuuri's lap, looking like he was about to pass out. Yuuri stroked his head soothingly, and secretly conjured a pile of white snow to release to Victor's head so that he looks like a small snow mountain.

It has been three days since they left the ice castle. They sat in a carriage along the way, according to Yakov's instructions, avoiding the royal city of Cuiqiong and heading south, crossing the two tributaries of Baixueyuan and Feilongchuan, and arrived at Qinglian's territory. From a pier there take a boat to Spirit Island.

The further south you go, the hotter the weather is. Yuuri and Victor just crossed the first tributary, the Wine River yesterday, and saw the end of the white snow field, and both of them have already begun to get used to the temperature.Victor even looked like he was about to suffer from heat stroke, and the driver of the carriage always looked at them suspiciously.

"Where do you come from?" the coachman asked curiously. He is an elderly uncle. He has also been a coachman in his life. He has seen many strange-looking guests and heard about them. It's because he always likes to gossip with guests.

Yuuri answered him politely, saying that they came from the Snowman Village in Cuiqiong, and they were planning to travel around the world, looking for treasures along the way.

The coachman laughed, because he had never experienced it before, so he especially liked listening to young people's adventure stories.The coachman continued: "Is it Cuiqiong? Something has happened to your royal city, hasn't it?" He is a foreigner, and his hometown is in a small country called Du Li.

Yuuri froze, smiling a little forcedly.

The coachman said again: "The regent king is really terrible for freezing his royal city, isn't he? Old Ge is doing some magic research, looking like he can't wait to fight every day. Our Du Li people I don’t even like him, he always bullies us small countries, and the old king in the past also had heirs, so I don’t know why he didn’t succeed.”

Yuuri quickly expressed that he was not very clear about these major national events, and the coachman looked a little pity.At this moment, the carriage hit a pebble and shook violently, the coachman almost bit his tongue, so he stopped talking to Yuuri and drove the carriage with all his heart.

When Victor was thrown by the carriage, he felt even more uncomfortable. Just now, Yuuri and the coachman chatted very intimately, which also made him feel uncomfortable, so Victor simply buried his face in Yuuri's soft belly, rubbing Oh shit, this is a way to get Yuuri's attention.

Yuuri, who was tickled by him, chuckled, tapped Victor's head lightly, and said softly, "Stop messing around, Victor. We'll go to the next village soon, as soon as tomorrow morning River, we are at Qinglian."

"It takes too much time." Victor complained softly, "I can fly to Elven Island in two days."

Yuuri covered his mouth lightly and glanced nervously at the coachman, only to be relieved to see him whistling at the girls in the fields.

He lowered his voice and said, "Put your wings back well, Victor. I don't want to be hunted around with a Dorag's gun or strange spells. You heard what the coachman said, too, Wangcheng Things have spread so far, if Yakov hadn’t spread the rumors, those humans would have plastered our portraits all over the streets. Don’t cause trouble anymore.”

Victor puffed up his cheeks unconvinced, and said, "I didn't cause trouble, it was others who provoked me."

Yuuri rolled his eyes and nodded, "Yes, you're right, it's not Victor's fault."

Before sunset, they reached the town of Agate in front of the second tributary of the Grape River.After Yuuri said goodbye to the coachman, he took Victor into the city, where he ordered some of the gold coins Yakov gave them, and decided to check into the cheapest hotel in town.

Victor immediately disagrees: "I won't be able to sleep lying on a hard plank."

"We don't have any money." Yuuri said, "I slept in an expensive room two days ago and spent a lot of money. Today we need to be more frugal."

"Then don't pay. We just want to borrow a place to sleep for one night. I have always wondered why we have to pay. Human beings in the past would be very happy to lend me a room and prepare delicious meals."

Yuuri frowned and said, "This is different from before."

Viktor's beautiful features immediately crumble, looking pitifully at Yuuri with his blue eyes.Yuuri softened his heart and almost agreed, but the reality did not allow him to allow Victor to continue to spend money like this, and if he continued to spend money like this, they would have to clean the toilet every day to continue the journey.

When Yuuri walks into the cheap hotel and asks for a room, Victor still looks awkward, and Yuuri turns his back on him and ignores him.They went to the room and unpacked, Victor still sulking.

Yuuri sighed and said, "Want to go shopping in the street?"

Victor kept his head down and remained silent, Yuuri was a little fidgety, every time Victor got angry for no reason, he was always the one who succumbed in the end, and Victor always had a reason and ability to make him feel that it was his fault.

But this time Yuuri wasn't about to back down.Victor has no concept of money. If he goes his way this time, it will be endless. He doesn't want to go to the toilet.

Yuuri turned around and left the room, planning to walk around town by himself.Now Victor is in a hurry. Normally, as long as he puts on a slightly unhappy look, Yuuri always accommodates him. This has been the case for a hundred years. Why does Yuuri not spoil him when he comes down to the world where humans live?Has Yuuri changed his mind?

Victor turned his head around a lot, but he couldn't figure out why Yuuri didn't come over to coax him like before. Seeing that Yuuri walked to the wooden ladder and was about to go downstairs, and didn't wait for him at all, Victor panicked. He didn't want to be left behind by Yuuri, so he hurriedly chased after him.

When they came to the street, Yuuri casually strolled around the stalls, Victor followed closely behind.

Agate Town is a small trading town. Merchants from the north and Qinglian will bring special products from their hometowns to the market in this town to trade. Because of this, Agate Town can be said to be the wealthiest town in Cuiqiong. The Central Market It is full of exotic goods.

Victor caught up and walked side by side with Yuuri. He saw a dazzling array of new gadgets, quickly put aside the small conflict in the hotel, excitedly took Yuuri's hand, walked to the stalls, and took He picks up those singing and dancing toys, brings them to Yuuri's face, and wants to buy them all.

Yuuri asked the price and bought a dragon-shaped puppet for Victor. Victor also wanted to buy a black-haired puppet next to him. Yuuri shook his head and said that he could only buy one.

Victor hugged his little dragon puppet and said sadly: "Xiao Wei, you are so pitiful, without Xiao Yong to accompany you, will you die because of loneliness?"

The girl at the stall couldn't help laughing when she heard what Victor said to the puppet. Yuuri couldn't entangle Victor, and he didn't want "Xiao Wei" alone, so he took out two more silver coins and put "Xiao Yong "Bought it, but the girl at the stall just took him one, which made Yuuri grateful and

Some embarrassed thank you repeatedly.

They were strolling casually in the market again, Yuuri approached a stall, squatted down curiously, and looked at the things that kept turning on the ground.The vendor with a missing front tooth said that it was called a spinning top, it came from Qinglian, and it was very popular with the children in the town.

"And this rattle drum." The peddler turned the thing in his hand, and a bead was caught on two hanging ropes, beating on the drum surface.Yuuri twirled it in his hand with interest, returned it to the vendor, stood up and left.

Victor followed and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want it?"

Yuuri shook his head and said no, he saw that there were food, jewelry and books nearby that he had never seen before, and said with a little sigh: "This is really far from what I remember, there are many things I don't understand, I really don't know Can we reach Elf Island smoothly?"

Victor smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Yuuri is always worried, aren't we doing a good job? It will definitely be smooth."

Yuuri smiled and took Victor's hand, saying, "Okay, Victor is right, nothing to worry about."

Afterwards they bought some kebab crepes at a snack stand, found a quieter corner, sat on the grass and shared the food they had bought out of sheer curiosity.

Victor ate the pancake Yuuri fed in one bite, and looked at the bustling downtown in the distance.Yuuri also took a bite of the pancake and asked Victor what he was thinking.

Victor looked up at the stars and said, "I remember when I first met Yuuri."

"The time in the snow mountain?"

"No, Yuuri was just a little bean at that time." Victor said with a smile: "I secretly ran to the human village without telling Yakov, and saw little Yuuri in front of a small house, he Gave me a cup of warm goat's milk."

Yuuri widened his eyes: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I hear you say it?"

"I forgot. It wasn't until Yuuri appeared in front of me again that I realized that the little pig had grown so big at that time." Victor said contentedly, "I really didn't expect that I would leave. A day in the snow-capped mountains, riding in a carriage, and shopping in the market.”

Yuuri smiled, resting his head on Victor's shoulder.Ever since he became a half-dragon and voluntarily returned to the snow mountain, he never thought about returning to the human world. He was satisfied as long as he stayed by Victor's side.

At this moment, the little golden milk cat, smelling the aroma of food, came out of Yuuri's arms. It looked at the grilled chicken pancake in Yuuri's hand, with a pair of green eyes shining.Yuuri teased its ears, tore a piece of pancake and fed it to him.

"Has Yurio returned to Yakov's place?" Yuuri asked as he watched the kitten chew off a large piece of roast chicken.

Viktor shook Yuuri's hand and said, "Don't worry about him, Yurio is old enough to take care of himself."

Yuuri smiled and said, "Yeah, I keep forgetting that he's actually older than me.

They chatted and saw that the last oil lamp in the market was completely extinguished, so they walked slowly back to the hotel hand in hand.
