The Strongest Princess Consort in the Interstellar

 Chapter 44: Little Dragon Grows Taller

"Ah..." a deep sigh echoed, marking the sixteenth time today that Xiao Qingyang sighed deeply.

Xiao Qingyang had always been optimistic and cheerful. The butler and Long Jingze had hardly ever seen him worried or bothered by anything. So, what was happening today?

"Young Master, is it because you've been feeling cooped up at home these past few days? Would you like to go out for a walk with Little Dragon?" the cautious butler suggested.

Ever since Young Master inexplicably fainted a few days ago, the butler had been taking extra care of him. Despite the normal results from the robot's examination, the butler couldn't shake off his concerns and insisted that the young master remained in bed for three days.

For a young master who loved the outdoors, this was undoubtedly suffocating.

After observing Xiao Qingyang for the past few days, the butler noticed that there were no lingering effects or discomfort, yet he always heard him sighing with worry. It was then that he hurriedly proposed that the young master go out to clear his mind, hoping it would improve his mood.

"No need, I don't feel like going out now," Xiao Qingyang weakly replied.

In the past, if he heard that he could go out to play, Xiao Qingyang would have been ecstatic and immediately gone out with Little Golden Dragon. But now, he hadn't even budged. This further confirmed the butler's belief that Young Master wasn't in a good mood.

"Young Master, I've figured out how to make that dish you mentioned... Pineapple... Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork. I'll make it for you later," the butler attempted to lift Young Master's spirits by appealing to his other favorite food.

However, even this time, culinary delights lost their charm in Xiao Qingyang's presence.

The butler and Long Jingze exchanged a glance, both reading the same message in each other's eyes: Oh no, what's wrong with Young Master/Yang Yang? Even food can't pique his interest.

"Ao…ao..." Long Jingze reached out his short little paw and gently touched Xiao Qingyang's arm, as if trying to pull him towards the outside.

But Xiao Qingyang truly had no desire to go out and play right now, so he held onto the chubby little paw of the golden dragon and said, "Little Golden Dragon, why don't you go out and play by yourself?"

"Young Master, if there's anything bothering you, please tell Grandpa Du. Don't keep everything to yourself," the butler finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said.

Since he was young, their young master had always been obedient and sensible. He liked to keep things to himself so as not to worry his family. The butler felt deeply sympathetic when he saw this.

"I'm fine, I just don't feel like going out today. I'll go back and take a nap. When I wake up, I'll be better," Xiao Qingyang smiled at the butler and then headed upstairs.

He actually wanted to tell the butler about the enrollment process, but what was the use? They couldn't go to the Imperial Capital Star, so sharing it would only add to someone else's distress.

Seeing Xiao Qingyang go upstairs, Long Jingze quickly followed behind. Once they returned to the room, they discovered that Xiao Qingyang was indeed lying in bed with wide-open eyes, showing no signs of intending to sleep.

Long Jingze climbed onto the bed gently and nestled in Xiao Qingyang's embrace. His short, chubby little paw lightly patted the other's chest, as if comforting him.

Seeing the adorable gesture from the little golden dragon, Xiao Qingyang's heart melted. The matter of the enrollment notice was temporarily forgotten.

Xiao Qingyang reached out and hugged the entire little golden dragon, holding it like a warm and cozy pillow. It was very comfortable.

Long Jingze squirmed uncomfortably in Xiao Qingyang's embrace. The close contact made him feel a bit shy, and his heart started to beat faster, as if it wanted to jump out of his chest.

He had never experienced this conflicting feeling of wanting to get closer but also feeling overwhelmed. It left him in a state of contradiction.

"Little Dragon, have you grown taller?" Xiao Qingyang tightly embraced the little golden dragon and suddenly asked.

Chapter 45: School is Starting Soon

"Little Dragon, have you grown taller?" Xiao Qingyang tightly embraced the little golden dragon and suddenly asked.

Previously, he would also hold the little dragon, especially when he first found it. However, the little dragon would always shyly jump out of his embrace and refuse to be held.

But with the dragon and him spending everyday together, he couldn't perceive the subtle changes. However, today, as he held the little golden dragon again, Xiao Qingyang suddenly realized that he could only hold its body halfway, whereas before, he could hold it in his arms completely.

The little dragon must have grown taller, which was why he couldn't hold it fully anymore.

Xiao Qingyang felt happy about this, but Long Jingze, feeling guilty, became a bit anxious.

Since his ability core was repaired, his body had been slowly recovering.

He was already twenty-six years old, an adult, and his beast form was that of an adult as well. Previously, due to the ruptured ability core, he had only reverted to a juvenile form.

Now that his injuries had healed, his beast form was naturally recovering at a rapid pace, almost changing daily.

Long Jingze hadn't thought about it before, but after Xiao Qingyang's remark, he realized that if this continued, he would definitely be exposed very soon.

He had to "cultivate" into an adult before his beast form fully recovered.

Xiao Qingyang didn't press Long Jingze for answers about the growth issue. After all, even if he wanted to ask, the little dragon, adorable as it was, couldn't speak human language.

"Little Golden Dragon, school is starting soon, and I want to go to the Imperial Capital Star. But the monthly flights have already passed, so I can only go next month," Xiao Qingyang said with a touch of melancholy as he spoke to the little dragon.

Right now, only the little golden dragon could listen to his confessions.

Only then did Long Jingze understand the reason behind Xiao Qingyang's low spirits these past few days.

Calculating the time, it was indeed the time when major schools would start their new semester. Considering Yangyang's age, he should be attending school, but...

If Yangyang was attending school, then why was he on this remote and deserted planet with no one around?

Moreover, he had been here for almost two months, and besides Yangyang and the old butler, he hadn't seen a third person. It was as if they had been abandoned on this planet. What on earth was going on?

"What if I'm one month late for registration? Will they still allow me to enroll?" Xiao Qingyang felt even more melancholic when he thought about this.

He had never attended school before and didn't know the requirements of the academies in this world. However, based on the memories of the original host, it seemed that schools in this world didn't like students who arrived late.

If he missed the opportunity to go to school just because he was late for registration, the original host would surely be regretful.

Sigh...

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Qingyang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Long Jingze couldn't stand to see Xiao Qingyang sad and sighing.

Even before he realized his own feelings, he couldn't bear to see the other person unhappy. Now that he was aware, he wished he could bring all the good things to Xiao Qingyang. Besides, it was just a matter of reporting for school. As long as Yangyang wanted to go, he would make sure he could.

Coincidentally, he was also about to start school, and his ability core had recovered. It was time to return to the Imperial Capital Star.

"Roar... Don't worry, with this prince here, I promise you'll arrive before the start of school," Long Jingze promised, although unfortunately, the other party couldn't understand his dragon language.

"Is the little dragon trying to comfort me?" Although Xiao Qingyang couldn't understand Long Jingze's dragon language, he felt a little better and said firmly, "I won't give up. I'll find a way and work hard."
