Upon seeing the Green Dragon, Little Seven immediately passed the goldfish to the eunuch at the side, and looked at the Green Dragon with bright and piercing eyes, while his small face was solemn and stern .
Little Seven’s stare made the Green Dragon very uneasy, and its hair stood on its ends as it questioned, “What are you doing?”
“Catching you to feed my royal nephew,” the little one said seriously . Third Aunt said that after the baby was born, the baby would call him his royal uncle . He would be a real man in the future, so he had to seem more commanding .
The Green Dragon thought he heard wrongly, and asked, “Did you just say ‘feed’?”
The Fire Qilin was holding back its laughter as it muttered, “Dragons are indeed tremendously nourishing for the Princess Consort . Eating you would be equivalent to eating countless dragon pills . It seems that Sky-swallowing Beast is still useful in certain aspects . ”
“That’s because he doesn’t know eating you is equivalent to eating countless Lingzhi mushrooms . ” The Green Dragon rolled its eyes .
After the Little Seven overheard their conversation, he produced a Beast Binding Rope and bundled the two of them up . While he was working on the knot, he said, “Since both of you are useful, I’ll catch all of you to feed my nephew . ”
The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin were stunned, speechless .
“Release me!”
“Who is the one who gave him the Beast Binding Rope? Don’t they know that he would use the rope to catch literally everything to eat!”
“It must be Master! Argh!”

Little Seven genuinely found the prey he caught this time too noisy . He furrowed his tiny brows and warned, “Be quiet, don’t disturb the others . ”
Once again, the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin were at a loss for words . They could not stay quiet . They were on the verge of being eaten, how could they stay quiet!
“Master said we have to practice good table etiquette . Do not force me to personally silence you . ” Little Seven turned around and glared warningly at the two mythical beasts .
Fire Qilin was wailing at the back, “You’ve already done it!”
“Punching you doesn’t count . ” Little Seven hastily replied as he continued dragging them forward .
The Green Dragon’s veins bulged from the pulsing rage . If punching does not count, then what does!
“It’s all your fault for insisting that we look for the Sky-swallowing Beast!” No matter how strong the Fire Qilin was, it could not free itself from Baili Jia Jue’s Beast Binding Rope . He could only struggle alongside the Green Dragon within the rope .
Da*n it! The Green Dragon also had an irresistible urge to beat up the little one who was dragging them forward . Can anyone stop this glutton! Can’t they see him dragging two massive objects behind him!
The eunuchs and palace maids had indeed seen it, but they had evidently grown accustomed to Little Seven’s eating habits . Recently, the Seventh Prince had been talking about bringing back a dragon, and now he had finally caught one . Aside from admiration, they showed no signs of interrupting him .
Little Seven took big strides forward energetically until he reached Jiuchong Hall . He threw the two mythical beasts in front of Helian Wei Wei and said proudly, “I caught these!”
Helian Wei Wei was eating strawberries . However, when she saw the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin, furiously clawing the ground within the Beast Binding Rope, she broke into a peal of laughter and asked, “What’s going on?”

The Fire Qilin could no longer stand it and spilled the entire story . However, the important point he wanted to get across was how unreasonable the Sky-swallowing Beast was .
Unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei raised a brow and asked slowly, “Going to the netherworld? To catch dead souls?”
Fire Qilin realized it had said something he was not supposed to . Thus, he refrained himself from mentioning it further .
However, Helian Wei Wei would never let it go as it caught her interest . Furthermore, she was sharp-witted and had already caught on to their intentions .
“Did His Highness meet Imperial Physician Liu today?”
The Fire Qilin stayed silent, and the Green Dragon followed suit .
Helian Wei Wei smiled and added, “You are loyal to His Highness and I admire that, but I admire people who adjust their actions accordingly even more . Little Seven, you can burn the firewood now, I believe the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin would love to talk to us from a pot of boiling water . ”
To put it plainly, she was planning to cook them .
The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin glanced at each other, but they seemed exceptionally calm . After all, they had thick skin, so it was fine for them to be boiled for a while .
However, Helian Wei Wei’s next words truly terrified them . “Oh, remember to add in some spices like chili powder or something . The food will be much more flavorful that way . Also, summon some mythological beasts to watch this . I’d reckon they would be delighted to watch this scene . ”
The Fire Qilin, who had always been worried about losing face, froze . Then, he bellowed, “Wait!”

“What is it? Are you planning to talk now?” Helian Wei Wei sat down and looked directly at the Fire Qilin with a smile that made her eyes disappear .
The Green Dragon nudged the Fire Qilin and reminded in a low voice, “You can say it if you’re not scared of making Master angry . ”
“But the Princess Consort wants other mythological beasts to watch us…naked!” The Fire Qilin felt wronged as he continued, “I will lose face as the boss . Not to mention, I am different from a lewd dragon like you, I still want to find my significant other!”
The Green Dragon snorted, “If Master finds out about this, not only will you lose your soulmate, you will also lose your life!”
Biting its lips, the Fire Qilin groaned, “Argh! Why am I always the one getting hurt!”
“Third Aunt, I have brought the pot . ” Little Seven had always been capable, especially when it came to food-related chores .
The Fire Qilin looked back and almost fainted . Where did this kid get such a big pot? Is everyone in the imperial palace dead? Why did no one intervene?
Little Seven felt the Fire Qilin’s provocative gaze . As he lowered the big pot from his shoulder, he huffed aggressively, “In a while, I shall strip your clothes first!”
As the Fire Qilin attempted to protect its fur with its claws, a person stepped into Jiuchong Hall . He had straight legs, firm posture, and moved elegantly . Then, his shining dark eyes landed on the Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon . His flat voice was laced with indifference as he said, “Isn’t it lively in here?”
Master?
The Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon turned around in unison to look at him .
Helian Wei Wei did not expect him to be here at this time, and asked, “Why aren’t you at the South Chancery?”
“I was there initially . ” Baili Jia Jue’s voice traveled past the ears of the two mythological beasts, as he naturally pulled Helian Wei Wei into his arms and muttered, “But someone made a stupid mistake, so I came to clean up the mess . ”
When the Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon heard it, their necks shrank as they felt a freezing cold blanketing their entire bodies .
Helian Wei Wei merely smiled and replied, “We’re just playing around, I’m sure you also know that Little Seven wants to cook everything he sees for me . ”
“How are you planning to eat this?” Baili Jia Jue seemed excited and reached out a hand to brush away the stray bits of hair on her forehead .
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes gleamed as she replied, “We’ll boil them, you know how much the Fire Qilin cares about its image . ”
“Good idea . ” Baili Jia Jue’s grinned faintly as he planted kisses on Helian Wei Wei’s eyelids and said, “But, there’s not much to see on his naked body . ”
Hearing this, the Fire Qilin heaved a sigh of relief . Everything could be resolved as long as Master was on his side .
However, to its surprise, Baili Jia Jue’s continued, “Don’t look anymore, it’ll hurt your eyes . ”
The Fire Qilin glared at him silently with disbelief… Does this even count as saving me? Is Master not verbally attacking me?!
