My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 723: A Curse and A Blessing for Xiaobai 2

Chapter 723: Chapter 723: A Curse and A Blessing for Xiaobai 2

Three hours later, Su Zhi was the first to rush over, urgently carrying Su Chaoyang away.

Before leaving, he also said to Si Mingjing, "Little sister, hurry up and bring Xiaobai, too. Who knows, maybe I can do it."

Originally, Si Mingjing hadn’t wanted to bother with Su Zhi because he still intended to hide her daughter. However, upon hearing Su Zhi’s urgent words, Si Mingjing had a change of heart in that instant. She decided to forgive him and followed with Xiaobai in her arms.

Unfortunately, after trying, it proved futile. Hope was dashed once again, and Si Mingjing could only carry Xiaobai back.

On the way, Xiaobai woke up.

Groggy, he opened his tired eyes. Looking at Si Mingjing, his voice was feeble, "Jingjing, why does this young master feel so awful?"

"It’s nothing, just a fever from the cold," Si Mingjing said, downplaying the severity.

"Jingjing, why are you crying?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled, leaning against Si Mingjing’s chest and lifting his little head to look at her.

Seeing the child so feverish, Si Mingjing felt terrible, but she fought back her emotions. "You’re mistaken, Xiaobai," she said. "It’s just the seawater that wet my cheeks."

But Xiaobai was not easily fooled. Even though they were currently diving in the deep sea, Jingjing was meticulous about cleanliness. She had activated her phone’s protective shield, which kept the seawater out. The wetness on Jingjing’s face was clearly from tears, not seawater.

Xiaobai stretched out his chubby little hand, raised it, and wiped the corner of Si Mingjing’s eye. "Jingjing, don’t be sad," he said. "This young master feels so terrible, I can’t even think of any sweet nothings to console you."

Si Mingjing was amused and chuckled. "You think you need sweet nothings to cheer me up?"

"Of course! My aunt said that girls like to hear sweet nothings. To woo a girl, you have to say nice things. A clueless guy will never get a wife, you know! So this young master must learn from a young age not to be a clueless guy," Xiaobai declared earnestly.

Si Mingjing reached out and ruffled Xiaobai’s little head. "You little smarty-pants. If you say too many sweet nothings, they’ll become empty words, and you’ll turn into a heartbreaker. No girl likes a heartbreaker."

Xiaobai patted his little chest. "Jingjing, whatever this young master says, I’ll do it! I remember everything this young master has told Jingjing, and I will strive to achieve it!"

"Oh? And what do you remember?"

With an air of great manliness, Xiaobai proclaimed, "This young master has said that from now on, Jingjing will be this young master’s most cherished darling! This young master wants to protect Jingjing always; I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this task!"

Si Mingjing didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She simply bent down and kissed the child’s forehead.

Xiaobai felt drowsy. Having been awake for only a moment, he closed his eyes again and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Eight hours later, Xi Jinrong rushed over and took Xi Lei with him.

Si Mingjing still brought Xiaobai over, but after trying, Xi Jinrong also couldn’t transfer vital energy to Xiaobai.

Ten hours later, Si Lisao, Lu Jinyi, Sheng Liuyun, Yun Yin, and Gu Changbin had all arrived.

One by one, they tried with Xiaobai, but without exception, all their attempts failed.

Everyone was at their wits’ end.

Si Lisao transferred vital energy to Ye Jingzhe, and Gu Changbin transferred vital energy to Gu Shurong. Meanwhile, Sheng Liuyun, Yun Yin, and Lu Jinyi surrounded Xiaobai, racking their brains.

Lu Jinyi held a fish tank where Little Xiangru swam back and forth, extremely worried about Brother Xiaobai.

He dived headfirst into his treasure space, sat down, and plunged into its library. The little fellow flipped rapidly through ancient records, desperate to find a solution to the problem in one of the books.

Mo Yinhe, his face grim and his mood foul, finally voiced a question that had weighed heavily on his heart for a long time: "What happens if vital energy is completely depleted and not replenished in time?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Si Mingjing didn’t know either. She looked questioningly at her brothers present.

Yun Yin said gravely, "He will die."

The hearts of Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe sank simultaneously.

Lu Jinyi quickly added, "The Dragon Clan possesses immortal bodies; we are fated for Nirvana and rebirth. Little sister, we ourselves have all experienced our vital energy being completely depleted, followed by rebirth from Nirvana."

Si Mingjing hugged Xiaobai tightly. "I won’t allow that to happen! There must be another way. All of you, find one!"

Xiaobai was too young. She wouldn’t let him die, not even if he could be reborn through Nirvana in the future!

At that moment, Little Xiangru, who was immersed in the library within the treasure space, cried out, "I found it~~~"

No one could hear him, but Little Xiangru jumped up in extreme excitement, hugged an old, yellowed book tightly, gave it a loud smooch, and then forcefully threw the book out of the space.

The ancient book flew out of the fish tank and hit Mo Yinhe in the face.

Mo Yinhe instinctively caught the old tome. Flipping through it, he noticed a page with a folded corner. His gaze fixed on that page, and he read it closely.

After a few lines, his eyes lit up.

The ancient book recorded: "If a member of the Dragon Clan suffers severe vital energy depletion, leading to a persistent high fever, a vital energy transfusion must be administered within forty-eight hours. If no transfusion is possible, they must be swiftly taken to the Dragon Pond. After recuperating there for half a year, their vital energy can be restored."

Upon reading this, Mo Jingyan urgently asked, "Where is the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Pond?"

"What? Dragon Pond? I’ve never heard of it!"

Lu Jinyi, puzzled, scratched his head and asked Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin, "Have you guys heard of the Dragon Pond?"

Both Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin shook their heads, equally perplexed.

Yun Yin took the ancient book from Mo Yinhe’s hands and flipped through it. "I think I’ve heard of it," he said, "but I can’t recall clearly right now. I have a vague memory that such a place might exist, but I heard about it a very, very long time ago..."

Mo Yinhe could hardly believe it. How could they be from the Dragon Clan and not know where the Dragon Pond was!

Sheng Liuyun suggested, "Perhaps the Prince Regent knows. Let’s ask him."

Just then, Bo Leng returned with Bo Fengyin, whose high fever had completely subsided and who was now bouncing around full of life.

His voice preceded him.

"Daddy, Daddy, Mommy, Mommy, this little dragon doesn’t feel sick anymore! This little dragon is all better~~"

Bo Fengyin rushed in and threw himself into Si Mingjing’s embrace.

Si Mingjing picked up Bo Fengyin, kissed his forehead, then looked up at the stern-faced Bo Leng who had walked in. "Big brother," she asked, "do you know where the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Pond is?"

"Dragon Pond?" Bo Leng paused, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I know. Why do you ask about the Dragon Pond?"

Hearing Bo Leng say he knew, both Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin were astonished.

Sheng Liuyun exclaimed, "There really is a Dragon Pond? I had no idea! How do you know about it?"

Bo Leng ignored Sheng Liuyun and stepped closer to Si Mingjing. He listened as she explained, "An ancient book states that if a vital energy transfusion isn’t possible, the person should be taken to the Dragon Pond immediately. Self-recuperation there for half a year can restore their vital energy."

Si Mingjing retrieved the ancient book from Lu Jinyi and handed it to Bo Leng. "Big brother," she urged, "I must take Xiaobai to the Dragon Pond as soon as possible. Tell me where it is!"

Bo Leng took the book, read it closely, and said in a slightly somber voice, "Alright. We leave now!"
