Genshin Impact: Winter can actually raise a delicate child

Chapter 280 Silly Dragon

Ifa's mind raced as he tried to figure out what he had done to offend the Fools and why they had kidnapped him in the middle of the night.

"Hey, kidnapping is illegal!" Ifa looked at the huge group of fools; he couldn't beat them even if he tried his best!

Xiao kindly explained, "I'm very sorry, the matter was urgent, so we had no choice but to bring you here. We will apologize."

Galan led Ifa to the captain's room, where the captain was wiping Lu Lilong's body.

"Quick, look at her! She has a fever!" Galan exclaimed.

Ifa looked at the little dragon on the bed, then at the captain, swallowed hard, calmed herself down, and went to look at the dragon.

"The fever is caused by catching a cold. I'll prescribe some fever reducer for her, but..."

"Waaah, Captain, Xiao Bao, San Bao... I feel so bad..." Lu Lilong weakly swayed his tail.

Ifa's eyes widened. This dragon can talk?!

The captain frowned: "Just tell me what medicine she needs, and I'll have someone bring it. She's feeling unwell right now, and we need to bring her fever down as soon as possible."

"Uh, okay." Ifa took a deep breath. The captain's pressure was too strong, and his heart was trembling.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Lu Lilong's fever finally subsided.

The captain held Lu Lilong in his arms, making sure Lu Lilong's fever had subsided and he was sleeping soundly, before speaking to Yifa: "Thank you for using force to get you here. I'm sorry. I'll give you ten million Mora for the consultation fee. In addition, as an apology, I will give you another ten million Mora."

Ifa waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, I understand you're worried about the child. As for the consultation fee, 100,000 Mora will suffice. Um, I'll have to trouble you to take me back."

He had no idea where the Fools had gotten the things for him.

The captain immediately sent someone to fetch 30 million Mora and gave it to Ifa. Ifa looked at the captain but didn't dare to say anything.

As O'Loren carried a basket of vegetables to the Flower Feather Gathering, people on the way greeted him with smiles.

"Good morning, Euron. Here to deliver vegetables to Ifa and Kakuku again?"

"Good morning, Mr. Sturgess. Ifa must be out working early again, right?" Orloren greeted politely.

"Ifa doesn't seem to be up yet; I don't see anyone."

"It's so late, why isn't he up yet? He never gets up this late. I'll go check on him." O'Loren was a little worried and wanted to get to Ifa's house as soon as possible.

Sturgis's voice suddenly rang out: "Ipha... and the Fools?!"

Looking over, Euron saw two Fools soldiers flanking Iphah on either side.

Orlan rushed forward, his face fierce: "What do you want to do? Let go of my friend!"

Ifa quickly spoke up: "Oloren, they brought me back!"

Euron looked completely bewildered: "What?"

Ifa sighed softly, "Their little princess was sick, and in their haste they brought me... uh... to them. I didn't know the way back, so they brought me back."

"The little princess of the Fools, um, Xiao Li? Is she sick? Is she alright?" Ouloren had just relaxed but instantly tensed up again.

"You know her? She just caught a cold, but her fever has gone down now. Haha~ I didn't sleep all night, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep." Ifa yawned.

"Okay, sure." Orloren nodded, then looked at the Fools who were about to leave and quickly said, "These are fresh vegetables I just picked today. Please give them to Xiao Li. I hope she is as healthy as these vegetables."

The foolish soldiers hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the vegetables: "Thank you."

The soldiers of the Fools took the vegetables back and handed them to their captain. The captain carefully checked them and, finding nothing wrong, ordered them to be taken away.

Although Lu Lilong's fever had subsided, he was still fast asleep and hadn't woken up yet.

Helpless, the captain simply dumped the task of training the soldiers today onto Xiao and Jialan.

Xiao and Jialan, who were overjoyed at the prospect of staying to take care of Lu Lilong, remained silent for a long time before venting their anger on the soldiers, nearly turning them into dogs.

Lu Lilong woke up hungry at noon. She tried to get up to find food, but found that she couldn't even use her claws!

Lu Lilong was lying face down on the bed. She looked at her paws and suddenly bit them hard: "Ouch!"

The captain was standing guard nearby. When he saw Lu Lilong wake up, he was about to ask if Lu Lilong was feeling unwell when he saw the silly dragon bite his own claw hard, making himself howl in pain.

The captain quickly picked her up and checked her paws: "Why are you biting yourself?"

"Aww?" Lu Lilong looked terrified. "Captain, I think I can't move... waaaaaah..."

The captain sighed deeply: "You had a fever last night, and it only broke this morning. You're still weak, which is why you feel so tired."

Lu Lilong blinked. Huh? She has a fever? How come she didn't know?!

The captain pinched her hand in an annoyed tone: "You're delirious from the fever!"

Lu Lilong was too weak, so the captain fed her breakfast.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the captain's originally gentle voice instantly turned cold.

"You were sick with a fever all night! You're staying at the outpost these next few days and you're not allowed to go out and play. I'll take Tuotuo Lei with me to run with the soldiers."

"Huh? Why?" Lu Lilong tried to protest.

"I sent you to help Tuotuo Lei lose weight, and you ended up playing in mud puddles? You even caught a cold! You need to reflect on your actions!" The captain poked Lu Lilong's horns with his finger and then tucked her back into the blankets.

Lu Lilong was grounded by the captain, while Tuotuo Lei was dragged by the captain to run with the soldiers.

Over the course of five days, Tuotuo Lei lost three pounds. Although he was still chubby, he was much more agile.

During his recuperation, Lu Lilong successfully transformed back into human form, but his dragon horns and tail had not yet reverted back to their original shape.

After taking care of Lu Lilong for a few days, Jialan returned to Xumi to help Naxida. Xiao's work was taken over by Fushe and the others, who also told Xiao to spend time with Lu Lilong and not to come back.

Bored, Lu Li wrapped her tail around the captain's leg: "Captain brother, I know I was wrong, please let me go out and play~"

Kong and the others hadn't come looking for her yet. Xiao occasionally had to help the captain with official business, so he was sometimes busy. When he was free, Lu Li worried that Xiao would tire himself out, so she couldn't bear to make him suffer.

Just as Lu Li was about to tease Xiao, the captain suddenly appeared like a ghost, grabbed Lu Li by the back of his collar, and dragged him away.

Upon hearing Lu Li's request, the captain remained silent for a long while. Lu Li then grabbed the captain's leg and pleaded, "Captain, please, please!"

The captain had no choice but to let Xiao accompany Lu Li out to play.
