Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 567 The Elder Doesn't Want to Take Care of the Child 9

Yue's body stiffened slightly, and tears welled up in the water-like cub's eyes again. It looked up pitifully and said, "I didn't mean to throw it; I just didn't hold it properly~"

He said in a muffled voice, then snuggled against Zhao Zhao's neck in a pleading tone, "I'm sorry~"

If Ye were here and saw Yue acting like this, he would probably call her a little green tea again.

"It's nothing." Zhao Zhao wasn't angry; he was just stating the facts.

Compared to other exquisite and precious gifts, the stone he gave was indeed unremarkable, so it's normal that the cub didn't like it.

Yue looked up and observed his expressionless face. Ultimately, his mind was still immature, and even though he was smarter than most children, she still couldn't discern anything from his face.

Feeling somewhat discouraged, the two fell silent for a rare moment.

Yue didn't like the quiet. He hugged Zhao Zhao's neck and, as if remembering something, asked softly, "Why did you suddenly appear next to me?"

What he really wanted to know was how Zhao Zhao found him.

After the precocious cub snatched the stone from Ye's hand using his mental power, he learned how to hide himself using his mental power without being taught. Unfortunately, his location was quickly found by Zhao Zhao.

“Stone, you can summon me to your side.” Zhao Zhao’s tone was indifferent, and she did not hide the truth: “In the future, do not summon me unless necessary.”

The cub gave an "oh," not yet knowing what summoning Zhao Zhao meant, so it didn't take it too seriously.

He thought to himself that he couldn't carry this stone with him anymore, after all, he didn't want to be found by someone anytime, anywhere.

In the garden, Xi Yan rested her chin on her hand and casually flipped through "The History of Beasts," her posture elegant and noble. Even though the two cubs beside her were gone, she remained calm and composed.

Until, he sensed a familiar mental force.

He slowly raised his head, looking in the direction where Zhao Zhao was about to appear, his expression puzzled.

Not long after, the white-haired boy holding the cub slowly walked towards him, his emerald green eyes looking at him indifferently, still showing little emotion.

Xi Yan's purple eyes softened: "Little one, didn't I tell you to rest?"

Only two hours have passed, and I never expected to see Zhaozhao again in the royal palace.

Yue pouted and said aggrievedly, "Why don't you go and rest? I want Brother Zhao Zhao to keep me company."

Xi Yan ignored him and continued to look at Zhao Zhao.

The boy sat down beside him, and the cub was put down as well: "We'll go back right away."

Helpless, Zhao Zhao asked again, "Where's Ye?"

Xi Yan chuckled: "This kid was just muttering something about a missing stone, then he ran out saying he was going to settle accounts with Yue."

Meeting the meaningful gaze of the purple eyes, Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled, a hint of provocation appearing on her still-childish face.

Zhao Zhao frowned: "How long has he been gone?"

"An hour."

The boy's mental energy expanded its range, and he discovered Ye sleeping in the flower bushes not far away.

Xi Yan knew Ye's location, of course, but he wasn't in a hurry to find him. At this moment, he restrained Yue and pressed the cub, whose eyes were starting to dart around again, to the desk to read.

Among the five phoenixes, only Yue and Ye are newly born cubs. Therefore, there are no schools for the cubs to learn from, so they can only teach them knowledge and etiquette themselves.

Zhao Zhao stopped disturbing them, went to the flower bushes, and carried Ye back to his sleeping room.

The cubs are sleepy, and as long as Ye doesn't cause trouble, Zhao Zhao won't force the cubs to study continuously; they can eat and sleep as usual.

After covering him with a blanket, Zhao Zhao was about to leave when the alert Ye sensed the familiar scent fading away and immediately opened his eyes.

Still half-asleep and not fully conscious, he looked up at the aloof boy with a relaxed expression: "Why are you back again?"

Zhao Zhao thought he didn't want to see her and was urging her to leave, so she pulled away the cub's hand that was holding his sleeve: "I'm leaving now."

"and many more!"

"boom!"

Ye was in such a hurry that he fell off the bed with a loud "bang!" and a bump immediately appeared on his forehead.

My sleepiness vanished completely, replaced by a wave of resentment: "Why are you walking so fast! Don't you want to see me that much?!"

Although the words were a question, the tone was firm.

It's as if he was born knowing only how to speak.

Zhao Zhao did not step forward, but coldly looked at the cub's red eyes.

Bumps and bruises are normal; for a fire phoenix cub with a very good physique, the bumps on its head will disappear quickly.

Zhao Zhao ignored everything that did not endanger the young master's health.

Ye didn't cry, but got angry again, glaring fiercely at Zhaozhao.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Zhao asked, her emerald green eyes appearing somewhat cold.

Ye then questioned again: "Why don't you care about me when I'm hurt? Why don't you comfort me when I'm angry!"

Zhao Zhao: "Your injury isn't serious, you don't need to worry about it. Besides, you're angry all the time, and I don't want to coax you every single moment."

"But, but... why is it that when you're injured, even if it's not a serious problem, other people still care about you!"

Zhao Zhao was puzzled, while Ye got angry: "I know, you just don't like me!" Because you don't like me, you don't care, so you're indifferent!

Once this thought enters your mind, you can no longer control your daydreams.

Zhao Zhao remained noncommittal: "Isn't it normal that I don't like you?" Her cold eyes looked at the unreasonable cub, still as ruthless as ever.

He took care of Ye and Yue for two reasons: first, because they were the young masters of the Phoenix Clan, and second, because they were mission takers.

It's just out of a sense of responsibility; as for liking someone?

He really couldn't like the two naughty cubs anytime soon.

Currently, he only treats Yue and Ye with a businesslike attitude, focusing on tasks rather than feelings.

Upon hearing this, Ye felt as if the sky had fallen. His face flushed red: "If I don't like you, I don't like you. I hate you."

His tone wasn't as harsh as it had been the previous two days, and if you listened closely, you could even sense the cub's disappointment.

"Oh." Zhao Zhao turned and left.

Seeing that he really didn't stop walking, Ye hesitated for a moment and then quickly caught up with him: "Where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep with me?"

Young cubs are not mentally mature; their anger comes and goes quickly.

"Now the Grand Elder is taking care of you." The implication was that he should ask Xi Yan to sleep with him.

Zhao Zhao quickened his pace. He suddenly sensed the presence of the Third Elder, Nan Yu, and then remembered that when he was summoned to the palace, he was preparing to accompany Nan Yu on a tour.

"I don't want the Grand Elder, I just want you to stay with me!"

Ye hugged his leg again, and the unruly cub started yelling again.

"I'll behave as long as you stay with me, okay?" He compromised, lowering his voice slightly.

Zhao Zhao was surprised and looked down at the cub with its head down beside her: "Why?"

"Isn't the Grand Elder good enough?"

Zhao Zhao's most admired elder is the Grand Elder, who is the most outstanding in every aspect.

"Who cares if he's good or bad!" Ye rolled his eyes, and seeing that Zhao Zhao wouldn't budge, he "plop" transformed into a small black and gold fire phoenix.

The tiny, delicate wings fluttered and landed on Zhao Zhao's shoulder.
