Chapter 76 The Mayor's Envy! Is the Real Dragon Flirting with Him?
Yu Xiao was somewhat concerned about this.
After all, the Great Xia region is renowned for its safety.
It's not surprising that one or two guns might occasionally appear; even the most meticulous plans can have a slip-up.
But if a large number of such cases occur...
"Why are they in Donghai City? What brought them here?"
Yu Xiao's gaze pierced through the layers of buildings, looking towards the distant dock, lost in thought.
I thought about it for a while.
"Never mind, let's go to the research base first..."
Yu Xiao sighed and walked towards the door.
Okay, go find the Shadow Dragon and get its scales!
But dragon scales are so indestructible, how can they be melted?
"It withstood hundreds or thousands of tons of gravity without a scratch, remained completely undeformed under temperatures of hundreds of degrees Celsius, and even machine gun fire couldn't leave a mark on its scales..."
Yu Xiao recalled what An Ming had told him before.
Such hardness perfectly matches Yu Xiao's defensive standards.
But then another problem arises: how to melt it down and then hammer it into armor or weapons?
Yu Xiao walked to the entrance hall.
"The peak generates false support, the twilight bears witness..."
Yu Xiao's phone rang.
Yu Xiao took his phone out of his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call.
Just as he was about to ask a question.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, someone wants to meet with you, what do you think..."
Anming's cautious words came from the other end of the phone.
...
Ten minutes or so.
Looking at the research base ahead, Yu Xiao's gaze was still somewhat surprised and doubtful.
"The mayor wants to see me?"
"And the mayor is already at the research base?"
As Yu Xiao walked towards the main gate, a subtle ripple stirred within him.
What is the reason the mayor wants to see me? Is it because of what happened yesterday?
Judging from An Ming's tone just now, and from the value of the young dragon to the country that An Ming mentioned in his previous conversations, the mayor should not have any ill intentions towards him.
Or did the mayor find out the identities of the people on the cargo ship yesterday?
As Yu Xiao stepped into the research base.
After a winding and circuitous journey, we arrived at a room inside the research base.
"Crunch—"
The steel gates opened to both sides.
What came into Yu Xiao's view was a man around fifty years old, wearing an executive jacket, with an imposing face, sitting on the sofa.
Behind the man were several men in suits who appeared expressionless.
An Ming sat on the sofa opposite the middle-aged man, chatting with him and occasionally pouring or preparing tea for him.
Seeing this scene.
"So, they can chat and laugh with the mayor so easily...?"
"It seems Anming has made significant achievements in paleontology research..."
Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Yu Xiao glanced at Shadow Dragon sitting on the floor next to him, his big eyes fixed on the movie screen in front of him, and made a comment.
I thought about it.
"So you are..."
Yu Xiao walked towards the middle-aged man.
He was only halfway through his sentence.
"You must be Mr. Yu Xiao? Seeing is believing, you're so young and promising..."
The middle-aged man stood up from the sofa with a smile.
I glanced at the back of the Shadow Dragon sitting on the floor watching a movie.
"This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a live dragon appear in front of me."
"And judging from its appearance, this dragon seems to be diligently learning about human society... It's truly eye-opening..."
Taking a few steps forward, he grasped Yu Xiao's outstretched right hand, and then the middle-aged man spoke with a sigh.
The last word fell.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
"My name is Chang Shurong, and I am the mayor of Donghai City."
The middle-aged man looked at Yu Xiao and smiled gently.
Upon hearing this...
"Mayor Chang, you want to see me because..."
Yu Xiao nodded slightly and asked curiously.
He was only halfway through his sentence.
"Roar?" [Your Majesty?]
Shadow Dragon, who had been sitting on the floor intently watching the movie, suddenly turned his head, blinked his big eyes, and looked at Yu Xiao with a delighted expression.
Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Dragon stood up, flapped its wings, and flew towards Yu Xiao.
...
Yu Xiao wasn't surprised that the Shadow Dragon wanted to get closer to him after it "finally" sensed him.
But for Chang Shurong...
"It seems that Long and Mr. Yu Xiao are closer..."
"When I first saw this dragon, I wanted to go over and hug it, but it almost flung me away with its tail..."
Sitting on the sofa, Chang Shurong looked at Yu Xiao sitting opposite her with envy.
Who wouldn't want to touch and caress a real dragon, especially one that's being shown in a movie?
Then it just swung its tail at you...
If it weren't for his bodyguard reacting quickly and pushing him away, things could have been...
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at Chang Shurong's still-frightened expression, then looked at the "人"-shaped hole in the wall in the distance.
"So, I was wondering how this hole came about..."
Yu Xiao began to understand.
But has the Shadow Dragon's power increased again? At first glance, it seems to have smashed through five or six walls!
Thinking of this, Yu Xiao turned to look at the Shadow Dragon.
I just met the Shadow Dragon's big, round eyes.
"Roar~" [That was just self-defense.]
"Roar~" [My Lord, you won't blame me, right?]
The Shadow Dragon blinked its big eyes a few times, then affectionately leaned its cheek forward.
next moment.
The Shadow Dragon opened its mouth, then stuck out its tongue and licked Yu Xiao's cheek.
Sensing the possibility of a reprimand, the Shadow Dragon has decided to take the initiative.
While apologizing and acting coquettishly towards you, the Shadow Dragon has decided to express its admiration for you using the highest level of dragon etiquette.

"..."
Yu Xiao remained silent.
He felt that this shadow dragon, to some extent, had forgotten how to "act cute"...
In contrast, Yu Xiao remained silent.
"This, this, this is simply..."
Chang Shurong, sitting opposite, was even more envious.
This is a real, living dragon!
He sighed, feeling both melancholy and dejected.
"Mr. Yu Xiao, the main reason I called you here today is to confirm something with you."
"First, based on the two unusual occurrences in Donghai City recently, we would like to confirm with you whether every dragon egg hatching causes such extraordinary phenomena?"
"Secondly, because of the other dragon incident yesterday, Donghai City is in an uproar. Of course, our city government will definitely step in to appease them, but Mr. Yu Xiao, do you have any way to prevent this from happening again? After all, once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, people will start to have doubts. And dragons... many people's impression of them is that they are violent, cold-blooded, and cruel..."
"Third, once the incident gets out, intelligence organizations and agents from other countries will come to Donghai City one after another. After all, a true dragon is a rare thing even on Earth. It's fine for a while, but it will be very difficult to cover it up in the long run... So, Mr. Yu Xiao, do you have any ideas?"
"Finally, Da Xia and Mr. Yu Xiao are definitely in a cooperative relationship. We warmly welcome Mr. Yu Xiao's business and will support it whenever possible. However, Mr. Yu Xiao, could you please have all your company's employees sign confidentiality agreements? It's never good if the matter of the True Dragon gets out..."
Chang Shurong sat up straight, looked at Yu Xiao, and spoke earnestly.
Yu Xiao had no objection to Chang Shurong's last sentence; it was just signing a confidentiality agreement, nothing serious.
But Chang Shurong's first words made Yu Xiao think of something else.
"The hatching time for the Fairy Dragon is now only 22 hours, and for the Azure Dragon, it's shortened to 87 hours..."
"So, that means the Fairy Dragon will hatch tomorrow, and then the Azure Dragon will hatch two days later?"
Looking at the incubation countdown on the data panel, Yu Xiao suddenly noticed a problem.
Given the Fairy Dragon's past habit of repeatedly making the Golden Dragon cry in its dreams, wouldn't it be like it would directly seek revenge on the Golden Dragon once it hatches?
But will the Golden Dragon swallow this insult?
If they could swallow it, they wouldn't have smashed the cargo ship with a single claw yesterday...
