Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Little Dragon Cub: This Princess Has Come Online 2
"Who’s there? Who’s disturbing my fishy playtime? Roll away, round and round! Otherwise, I’ll CHOMP... gobble you all up!"
Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing were both startled and turned their gaze toward the hot spring pool.
They saw that the natural hot spring had already been claimed by someone else.
The intruder was a little girl, her chubby face flushed red from the steam, holding a fish in her two little fleshy hands, her milky voice soft and tender, "This mountain is mine, I planted this tree, if you want to... WAH, I want my milk!"
The little girl eyed the coconut in Si Mingjing’s hand, stuck out her little tongue to tantalizingly lick her lips, feeling so thirsty.
"How can there be a child here?"
Si Mingjing wondered. The child also had two shiny little Dragon Horns on her head, exactly like Xiaobai’s. Had they encountered another of their kind?
When had Little Dragons become so abundant that one could bump into them on a random deserted island?
"Little friend, are you thirsty? Come here, have a drink~"
"You better not trick children~"
The little girl immediately found the fish in her arms less appealing and dismissively tossed it back into the hot spring pool.
Paddling her little short legs, she quickly swam over to Si Mingjing, stretching out her chubby white arms like lotus roots, hugging the round coconut, and tilting her head back.
"GLUG~ GLUG~ GLUG~ GLUG~"
Despite her small size, she had a big appetite and managed to finish the entire coconut’s juice in one breath. She drank it all in one go, quite the hearty drinker. After drinking, she even let out a satisfied belch, "BURP~ BURP~", her face full of contentment.
"Big sis, it’s super tasty~ Little Liangliang wants more~"
The greedy little girl, having finished Si Mingjing’s coconut, now set her sights on the one Mo Yinhe was holding, licking her little lips, "Big brother, Little Liangliang still wants milk~"
Mo Yinhe, a tall and upright man, felt his stern expression almost crack with embarrassment when addressed as "Big brother" by a little girl who looked to be around his son’s age.
"Call me uncle, and I’ll give you a drink."
The little girl refused, instead confidently declaring, "Uncle said, boys have to be called Big brother and girls Big sister, to make people dote on you. Little Liangliang still wants~"
Mo Yinhe cracked open the coconut and handed it to the little girl.
"Thank you, Big brother~~ MUAH~~ MUAH~~ MUAH~~"
The little girl blew Mo Yinhe three kisses.
She was extremely good at flattery.
Mo Yinhe’s heart melted in an instant.
This little girl is more endearing than my own little rascal at home! Why didn’t Baby give me a daughter?
I want a refund; I want to exchange my son for a daughter!
Si Mingjing saw no adults nearby.
"Little friend, what’s your name? Why are you alone here, and where are your parents?"
"Little Liangliang has no parents; Uncle said, Little Liangliang is born of the wild."
Si Mingjing’s mouth twitched: "..."
What kind of irresponsible uncle is that?
"So where is your uncle? How could he leave you alone here?"
Little Liangliang crossed her little arms indignantly, "A bad lady said she’d take Little Liangliang to play, brought me here, and then left on her own, making Little Liangliang so mad!"
"How long ago did this bad lady leave?"
Little Liangliang sucked on her thumb thoughtfully for a moment, then began counting on her fingers, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 12, 13, 14, 15..."
"DING!"
Little Liangliang figured it out with her little mind.
"Big sister, about fifteen days."
"What? You’ve been alone here for fifteen days?" Si Mingjing could hardly believe it.
"Yeah, Little Liangliang is good at counting. The Sun climbs up the sky, then rolls down, climbs up again, rolls down again, climbs up again, then rolls down... a total of fifteen times already, you know."
Si Mingjing looked up, exchanging a glance with Mo Yinhe.
Both of their faces looked terrible.
This child... was she maliciously abandoned on a deserted island?
Was this meant to make her fend for herself?
Si Mingjing asked in even more detail, "So how have you been surviving these days? What have you been eating?"
"Fishy~ Fishy so yummy."
Liangliang patted her little belly with an expression of endless relish.
The little girl was quite proud to show off, "Big sis, you treated Little Liangliang to coconut milk, so Little Liangliang will treat you to grilled fish~"
With a SPLASH, Little Liangliang dove into the hot spring pool.
Moments later, her two small hands hugged a fat, large fish, intending to grill it.
Little Liangliang had caught many fat and tasty fish in the sea, keeping them in the hot spring pool. She ate one... no, two at each meal!
Liangliang is still growing; how could one fish possibly suffice?
Si Mingjing didn’t care about soaking in the hot springs anymore.
This is a serious case of child abandonment!
Such a cute little girl, one look at her could melt your heart. How could any woman be so heartless as to leave her out in the wild?
A child so small, with no wilderness survival skills whatsoever!
BANG, BANG, BANG~~~
Just as Si Mingjing was lamenting the little girl’s lack of wilderness survival skills, Liangliang had already caught three fish and tossed them by the pool, not feeling the slightest bit sorry for the fish’s pain.
Then she poked her little bottom in the air, quickly climbed out of the hot spring pool, and found a small dagger by the side.
"Fishy~~ behave, don’t be afraid, I’ll make sure you die quickly~"
The overly frightened fish: Thank you, but that didn’t soothe me at all.
Little Liangliang, while soothing the even more terrified fish, worked swiftly and ruthlessly to gut the live fish. She didn’t even blink her pretty big eyes while killing the fish.
Fierce and adorable!
That skill showed she was an old hand.
Usually, she must have gutted quite a few fish.
"Big sis, just wait for Little Liangliang, okay? Uncle says that grilling fish is a skillful job; it must be grilled slowly to be delicious."
By the hot spring pool, there was a wooden fish-grilling rack, haphazardly constructed. Mo Yinhe could tell at a glance it was used for grilling fish. On the ground nearby, there was a heap of fish bones; judging by the quantity, more than just one or two fish had indeed been eaten.
This little girl might have really survived alone on this deserted island for fifteen days, and she hasn’t starved herself.
Mo Yinhe couldn’t help thinking, If it were my Xiaobai...
Could that little rascal of mine be this capable?
Indeed, other people’s children always seem better!
「Half an hour later.」
The aroma of grilled fish wafted over.
Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing found themselves actually watching a little girl grill three fish to completion.
Liangliang, offering it like a treasure, handed one of the grilled fish to Si Mingjing, "This fishy is for Big sis to eat. Be careful, it’s hot~~"
Then, she handed another grilled fish to Mo Yinhe, "This fishy is for Big brother to eat~~~"
Liangliang had put so much effort into grilling the fish, but she had a strong sense of purpose.
The cute little girl propped her chin with her hands, her big eyes fixed on Si Mingjing, clearly asking for something.
Little Liangliang was very good at reading the room.
Although Big brother is taller and bigger, the way Big brother looks at Big sis is so doting! So, Big sis must be the one who calls the shots here.
Si Mingjing, holding the grilled fish and about to take a bite, heard Little Liangliang say, "Big sis, Uncle says, ’Accepting people’s kindness makes it hard to refuse them’~"
