Isn't the name "Xiao Long Junzhu" much better than "Huan Huan"?
Lin Yuan felt pleased and couldn't help but applaud in agreement.
Hu Tao tapped Lin Yuan's head with her finger, dissatisfied as she said, "Huan Huan, do you have any objections to the name I've given?"
Lin Yuan silently nibbled, choosing not to argue with Hu Tao's unique taste.
Keqing, noticing Lin Yuan's actions, found it amusing and said, "Since we've clarified this matter, we'll take our leave. I'll come to visit Xiao Long Junzhu in a few days."
With that, Keqing took Yelan and left.
Before Yelan turned to leave, she gave Lin Yuan a meaningful glance.
Lin Yuan's heart stirred; it seemed this intelligence officer was also quite interested in him.
However, Lin Yuan didn't feel intimidated; he could handle as many aloof intelligence officers as they sent.
Ganyu then took her leave, stating she needed to go back and organize the records of the other immortals.
After the few high-ranking officials from Liyue left, Hu Tao squinted at the carts of supplies and couldn't help but smile.
She waved her hand and ordered, "Move everything into the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"
The Millelith immediately began unloading the goods, moving them into the parlor.
With so many rare treasures, Hu Tao was absolutely delighted.
…
Days passed since the immortals appeared at Liyue Harbor, and it quickly returned to its usual tranquility.
The townsfolk, over tea and meals, buzzed with discussions about the appearance of the immortals.
The news of a dragon being raised in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor also spread throughout Liyue.
In recent days, many people had come to the entrance of the parlor, peeking inside.
Initially, Hu Tao thought they were customers and was quite happy about it.
Only upon inquiry did she realize they were there to catch a glimpse of Huan Huan.
Fuming, she drove them all away and instructed her staff not to let anyone loiter at the entrance, affecting her business.
During this time, Lin Yuan mostly relaxed and lounged about.
After his impressive display in front of the immortals and with the Seven Stars sending so many supplies, the people of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor treated Lin Yuan with great care.
He enjoyed a life where everything was handed to him, and his appetite was enormous.
If it weren't for the Seven Stars' support, the parlor might not have been able to afford to raise Lin Yuan.
In such days, Lin Yuan felt he was no longer a dragon but a lazy fish.
One day, Ganyu visited the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor once again to check on Lin Yuan.
"Ganyu, my lady."
The attendant girl curtsied and led Ganyu to Lin Yuan's room.
Inside, there was a gigantic cradle padded with layers of exquisite silk sent by the Seven Stars.
Lin Yuan lay there, enjoying the silky softness that far surpassed any mattress.
The attendant girl smiled and said, "Xiao Long Junzhu has been lying in the cradle without moving much lately."
Lin Yuan had become the very embodiment of laziness over these past few days.
Ganyu smiled lightly and brought a food box to the cradle, gently saying, "Xiao Long Junzhu, I've brought your favorite food. Do you want to get up and take a look?"
Ganyu had visited the most frequently in recent days, always bringing delicious food for Lin Yuan.
As soon as Lin Yuan heard Ganyu's voice, he reflexively opened his eyes, crouched, and pounced directly into Ganyu's arms.
Ganyu smiled as she held Lin Yuan, opening the food box and saying, "This is crab yellow porridge that I had the Liuli Pavilion prepare with crab roe. Come and try it."
"Ying ying ying."
Lin Yuan let out a joyful cry.
Although Ganyu always brought food suitable for infants, it was of the highest quality, prepared by Liyue's top chefs.
The first time Lin Yuan tasted it, he was so delighted that he almost bit his tongue.
Hearing Lin Yuan's adorable sounds, Ganyu gently patted his head and took a spoon, carefully feeding him the crab yellow porridge.
This was Lin Yuan's first time trying the crab yellow porridge, and its deliciousness made him squint his eyes, feeling that Zhongli really didn't know how to enjoy life, not liking such delightful seafood.
After Ganyu slowly fed Lin Yuan and wiped his mouth clean with a handkerchief, Lin Yuan reflected on how he had received attentive care from everyone at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Yet compared to Ganyu, it still felt lacking.
Watching Ganyu put away the food box, he couldn't help but sigh, "Ganyu is truly virtuous!"
After finishing, Ganyu took up a bottle beside the cradle.
This bottle was a size larger than the one Lin Yuan had used before, appearing less like a bottle for infants.
In fact, it was indeed different from the previous bottle.
This bottle was the godly item Ganyu had gifted him, capable of producing milk infinitely, modified with a nipple.
Though it was too large for a human infant to handle, it was perfect for Lin Yuan, the dragon baby.
Ganyu held the bottle and brought it to Lin Yuan's mouth.
Under Ganyu's careful care, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and began drinking.
He drank heartily, as this divine bottle used by the god of milk provided an endless supply.
For the past few days, he had been drinking without ever experiencing a shortage.
As the milk entered his body, Lin Yuan felt nourished in his dragon form.
He comfortably squinted his eyes, having previously sensed something special about this bottle.
Though faint, he could indeed feel the pure elemental power contained within.
After drinking this milk infused with a hint of elemental energy, Lin Yuan felt himself rapidly growing!
This made him reflect, indeed, there were no truly weak beings among the gods of Teyvat; even the most unassuming god possessed extraordinary powers.
After Ganyu fed Lin Yuan until he was full and content, she played with him for a bit before leaving satisfied.
Lin Yuan had barely settled back into the cradle when the attendant girl led someone else in.
Lin Yuan reluctantly opened his eyes, thinking to himself, "Why are so many people coming today, interrupting my lazy rest?"
To his surprise, it was Keqing.
Though Keqing hadn't visited as often as Ganyu, she had also come three or four times in the past few days.
Initially somewhat distant towards Lin Yuan, for some reason, she gradually became quite attached to him.
Upon entering, Keqing immediately picked Lin Yuan up and started to play with him.
"Xiao Long Junzhu, I suppose you haven't moved at all today either? Let me help you stretch a bit."
As she spoke, Keqing began to manipulate Lin Yuan's little body.
Lin Yuan felt exasperated; Keqing had come without bringing any exquisite food like Ganyu, and yet she was all over him.
Her closeness lacked the careful attentiveness that others had shown.
Being rubbed and handled by Keqing felt so different from the gentle care Ganyu provided, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but complain internally:
"Where did your initial aloofness go?"
If it weren't for the fact that she was a beauty…
