Right Here Waiting

Chapter 30

My name is Fei Huo. Like the previous Celestial Ruler, I am a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

My father is the current Celestial Ruler. Mother … Mother should be the future Empress.

Why should she be?

Ever since I was born, Imperial Father had set out to make up for Mother's wedding. However, Mother had been injured before she gave birth to me. She had always found all kinds of excuses to refuse. Sometimes, she said that the wedding dress was too heavy and the crown was too heavy to walk. Sometimes, she said that the heavenly realm was too high and the lightning tribulation was too strong. Sometimes, she said that the colorful clothes made her dizzy. She was afraid that she would vomit on the day of the wedding.

Regardless of whether the excuses were reasonable or not, Imperial Father accepted them all. By the time I was a thousand years old, Mother had already refused more than a hundred times. Imperial Father was not in a hurry and always brought it up again after a few years.

"Huo 'er, come and eat."

Putting down the brush and drying the ink, I put the diary into the mustard seed and hid it well. Mother had already set up the bowls and chopsticks in the pavilion. Imperial Father had left for the morning court. We never had breakfast together.

"Mother, Huo 'er is hungry … I want to eat meat …"

Picking at the two pieces of vegetables in the bowl, I stared at the red braised meat on the table and swallowed. Mother carefully moved the meat away and said earnestly, "Huo 'er, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon is the race of the Dragon race that tends to get fat the most. You don't know how bloated the previous Celestial Ruler was. He didn't have the slightest bit of your Imperial Father's elegant spiritual cultivation. Sigh, it's all my fault. Why did I give birth to you as a Golden Dragon?

Look at you now. You ate so little, but your face is still chubby! "

"But … But Huo 'er is growing!"

"Tsk, did you hear that half-immortal say that immortals need to eat to grow their bodies?"

Mother picked up a large piece of soft red braised meat and waved it in front of my eyes. She put it into her mouth. "Eating these filthy grains requires spiritual power to refine the impurities. It's really tiring. Mother can't bear to see you suffer like this!"

"But …"

But if growing one's body does not depend on eating, then growing fat should have nothing to do with eating … Besides, I really don't think this is suffering!

There is a saying in the human world that a pregnancy makes one stupid for three years. It is more difficult for immortals to give birth than mortals. they might be stupid for a thousand years..... Mother's many theories sounded reasonable, but they did not stand. I argued with her at first, I argued with her. But later, when Imperial Father was teaching me lessons, he said that Mother was the biggest treasure in the family. and, whether she was right or wrong, as a man, I should unconditionally support her.. Not only Mother's, for a thousand 'marriage marriage marriage marriage' a thousand years'.. marriage...

"Mother is right, Huo 'er has learned a lot!"

. Huo's Father. smiled. He. Huo, Huo. and..... Huo ', I., I.. bowed. and I... and Father... he..... and and he. he...... he.? to.... he.

"Father, Huo 'er is hungry."

Imperial Father rubbed my stomach and took out a box of peaches. He asked, "Where's your mother?

Did you have breakfast with her? ".

"Yes. Mother made braised pork, but she did not allow me to eat it. Imperial Father, go and talk to her. I am not afraid of getting fat."

Imperial Father muttered to himself for a moment before wiping off the peaches on my face. He said, "Imperial Father can go and plead for you. However, if you become fat in the future and make your mother sad, then Imperial Father will have Pojun take you to the drill ground to train with the heavenly soldiers. Are you willing to lose all your fat?"

My hand, which was holding the peach cake, trembled. Although eating a lot did not mean that I would get fat, what if I got fat? The training of the heavenly soldiers was hard. I could not even reach their thighs. I would be tired to death.

Before I thought about what to do, Imperial Father said, "However, if you don't eat in front of your mother, even if you get fat, she can't say anything. Do you understand?"

"Imperial Father, I understand. I will eat less in front of my mother. I don't want her to worry. When I am hungry, I will come to you!"

Imperial Father smiled. "You can be taught."

I swallowed the peach cake and jumped down from Imperial Father's arms. Although I did not understand why the adults were so awkward, Imperial Father was right.
