Chapter 231 Is Ling Long really a baby?
A heavenly beauty!
Who would have thought that the little dragon who followed him everywhere, jumped happily every time he praised her and made extremely cute sounds in an unsuccessful attempt to communicate with him, would actually turn into a first-class little beauty... At least, Xie Feng never expected it.
At this moment, while he was appreciating and looking with interest at the young girl in front of him, Xie Feng had only one thought in his head:
’As expected of a dragon!’
To possess such a mature, charming, and seductive body immediately after acquiring the ability to take human form was simply crazy; after all, Ling Long had only come out of the strange egg about a week ago!
Although Xie Feng did not know if Ling Long had already been born long ago but for some reason, she could not leave the eggshell, he unconsciously treated her as a newborn. However, since Ling Long’s status window read ’Age Unknown’ it was natural to think that she was actually older than Xie Feng thought.
Of course, even if Ling Long had been born a week ago or a century ago, it was stupid and ignorant to treat her as a newborn or as an ’old woman’. After all, Ling Long was not a human being.... She belonged to the dragon race.
To put it in simple words, a very clear example would be dogs or cats; they had different life expectancies and growth spurts, the same could be the case with Ling Long... For example:
It was naturally and physically impossible for a baby to perform or even think about sexual acts, however, living beings of other races could perfectly well reproduce after a few days or months. But even then, although Xie Feng already knew this and was very clear about it, he treated Ling Long as if she was a newborn baby.
Snapping out of his surprise and audibly swallowing saliva, Xie Feng looked at Ling Long in her human form, and hesitantly said, "Ling Long, can you speak?"
Although she was now much taller, she was still shorter than him. Therefore, Ling Long looked up and blinked her big eyes several times before bowing her head and saying:
"Puuh?"
Plaf!
Xie Feng fell to the ground.
Too cute! Too adorable!
Ling Long’s characteristic sound, mouthed by her in her newly acquired form, was completely different from when she was in her little dragon form! Seeing a beauty make such cute gestures was a fatal attack to Xie Feng’s heart.
Xie Feng stood up and coughed to clear his throat before pointing to himself and saying, "Big brother. I - Am - Your - Big - Brother. Do you understand me?" Seeing Ling Long nod repeatedly, Xie Feng smiled, "Then, repeat that. Come on."
"Puuh..."
Xie Feng: "..."
"Oh good." Xie Feng smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders. "I guess I’ll have to teach you how to talk little by little."
Ling Long seemed to understand what he meant as a beautiful radiant smile of purity and innocence appeared on her face. She ran to him and hugged him tightly as she rubbed her head against his chest just as she did in the past.
On the other hand, Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly in secret. Really, he will have to put in a lot of effort and willpower to get used to this.... Especially feeling those two giant marshmallows pressing against his body.
"All right! Let’s go see if there’s some good food around here." Xie Feng suddenly became excited. He grabbed Ling Long’s small little hand and started walking out of the house while talking to her. "Ling Long, let me show you how good human cooking is!"
Thus, a grown man and a dragoness in her human form began to walk through Eminentis City. Of course, Xie Feng gave Ling Long a mask to cover her beautiful face or it could be a headache later.

Beijing, being one of the most important cities in the world not only for its history, but also for its beauty for tourism and its importance for the economy, was a land where a single acre of land cost as much as gold itself. Even teachers and other workers with advanced university studies could not necessarily afford to buy a house and could only live to rent a small apartment.
Near the center of Beijing there was a large parcel of land surrounded by well-kept forests and natural lakes that stretched for several square kilometers, forming an extremely beautiful panorama. Precisely in the center was a large mansion built in the western style. A large water fountain was right in front of the big gates of the mansion and a stone path stretched into the distance; this was the only way to reach the place. But even then, to reach this place, one had to first pass through a simple but very sophisticated checkpoint.
To be able to build such a luxurious mansion and own such a vast land that could be considered a forest like garden in such an expensive city as Beijing, one had to not only possess a great deal of money.... One also needed political power. However, the family living in this house lacked none of them.
Because this property belonged to the Yao Family, one of the five most powerful families in all of China!
Currently, the Yao Family was in a very festive and joyful mood.
The maids and butlers were busily moving around with happy but somewhat nervous and excited faces at the same time; going so far as to polish the smallest and most distant crack in the place to a shine as if it were the most precious gem in the world.
The reason why the entire Yao Family and their employees were so agitated was, naturally, because of something that practically everyone in the country knew very well.
Today would be the fifteenth birthday of the only princess of the Yao Family, Yao Mei!
Although ordinary people might not know who Yao Mei was or have never seen her face in public since she never appeared on camera, those who had enough status and purchasing power knew very well who she was.
A few years ago, several spies of unknown origin sneaked into China, evaded a wide range of high-tech security systems, and were about to steal state secrets that could put China in a very dangerous situation in the eyes of the whole world. However, before these spies could escape after assassinating several powerful Espers and destroying several fighter planes, Yao Mei made her debut.
With the ability to create fire from every part of her body and great control over this element, Yao Mei took the lives of more than ten A-ranked Espers and even completely roasted an S-ranked Esper. From that moment on, Yao Mei became known as the Empress of Fire and as the most talented person in the history of China. How far would her powers grow when she grew up? No one knew... But everyone knew that the smartest thing to do would be to side with this star that was shooting into the sky at rocket speed.
Inside a modest room, a handsome young man of about 25 or 26 years old, with dark, well-groomed hair, slowly opened his eyes. When his eyes cleared completely, the gold-colored bracelet that had a small green light at the top went off.
This young man was Yao Zenyu.
After successfully defending Eminentis City from the monsters’ attack, doing some management work for the imminent creation of the God of Heaven guild and delegating simple tasks to his trusted men, Yao Zenyu disconnected from the virtual world as he had been summoned by his family.
Leaving his room, Yao Zenyu walked through the corridors of the mansion with a friendly smile. Every maid who passed by him greeted him cheerfully, to which he responded with a gentle smile; this caused several young maidens inexperienced in love to blush, but he simply continued to move forward.
After walking for a minute or two, Yao Zenyu arrived at a spacious living room. Looking at the large screen on the wall and sitting on a large, comfortable sofa while enjoying some dried fruits, was a man between 48 and 50 years old next to a beautiful woman of about 45 years old. These two people were Yao Xiyu and Beiming Fei, the parents of Yao Zenyu and Yao Mei.
"Father, mother." Yao Zenyu quickly bowed and greeted both of them.
Yao Xiyu, the current leader of the Yao Family, looked at his son appreciatively and nodded: "You did a very good. I heard that you came up with a simple but effective plan that managed to lead everyone to victory."
Yao Zenyu, with a modest expression, shook his head and said bitterly: "If it wasn’t for everyone putting in some of their efforts and for the special skills of some people, my plan would have been a big failure."
Beiming Fei stood up and hugged her son while saying lovingly: "Silly boy, why are you degrading yourself? If you had not taken the initiative, if you had not devised the most optimal plan in the shortest possible time and organized China’s available players, then no matter how strong the others were they could never have stopped millions of monsters, right?"
In the end, Yao Zenyu silently accepted his parents’ praise and said nothing more.
Yao Xiyu said nothing but nodded silently at his eldest son’s attitude. Acting with some humility was key to gaining people’s favor and touching the emotions of others, however, acting too humble would make you look weak and there might be people who would even suspect you as fake. The fact that Yao Zenyu knows when to advance and retreat left his father very satisfied.
As the three of them chatted with each other, a maid rushed in, her face pale and her eyes full of fear as she shouted regardless:
"The young miss! Something bad has happened!"
