Chapter 34 Mom and Dad are here
Under the vast sky, emperors, generals, scholars, and common people from all dynasties were astonished and discussed the matter animatedly.
In the Great Tang Dynasty, standing in the main hall.
Li Shimin suddenly stood up, pointing to the bright and clean private room in the sky: "This—this silver dragon's belly actually contains such an elegant room! There are even fresh flowers, a soft bed, and a separate toilet?"
He turned to Empress Zhangsun and said, "Guanyinbi, look at that carpet. It's like a night sky studded with stars. When Sizi stepped on it, it was completely silent."
Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Second Prince, that's called soundproofing," presumably to avoid disturbing the travelers. The little fellow, however, seemed quite at ease, saying he was simply walking on soft grass.
Li Tai, who was standing to the side, put down his brush and exclaimed in amazement: "Father, there is not only a bed in that carriage, but also a safe and an electrical outlet!"
"That safe must be used to hide treasure; the power outlet is probably connected to that magical device!"
He shook his head and muttered, "The high-speed rail has everything you need for clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation; it's practically a moving palace!"
Great Qin.
Ying Zheng's face was ashen, his fingers pressing tightly against the table: "My Xianyang Palace is nothing special! The interior of that silver dragon is so exquisitely decorated! If the Qin army had such a divine object, how could they worry about insufficient supplies or poor intelligence?"
He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Issue an order: have the craftsmen carefully observe this work, and reward handsomely anyone who can replicate it!"
Han Palace.
Liu Che stared at the sky and sighed, "This silver dragon actually hides countless such houses inside! If our soldiers had such fine chariots, galloping across the northern deserts, what would be the point of taking down the Xiongnu! Alas, my Huo Qubing!"
Emperor Qianlong stroked his chin in amazement: "This high-speed train is not only lightning fast, but also so comfortable inside! The carpets and flowers are just what I desire. If I could travel the world in this divine vehicle, why would I need to endure months of arduous journeys?"
He turned to those around him and asked, "Could the Imperial Seal of the State be stored in that safe?"
Heshen hurriedly stepped forward: "That will definitely work!"
The Ming Dynasty, Nanjing.
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh: "What a silver dragon! It actually hides such luxury inside! That kid even took out some medicine to spray, saying it was for disinfection—could this be some kind of divine water to ward off evil spirits and impurities?"
He turned to Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, what exactly is this 'electricity' stuff? How can it make car headlights as bright as day, and make that socket magically powerful?"
Zhu Biao shook his head with a wry smile: "Father, I don't know either. But seeing Lu Chen wiping Xiao Sizi's hands, making the bed, and playing with the clay, he was incredibly meticulous. It's unbelievable that a child could be cared for like a child at home on a high-speed train."
In teahouses and restaurants, people were chattering amongst themselves: "Tsk tsk! That silver dragon not only has a bed and a table inside, but also a separate toilet! Wouldn't it be incredibly comfortable to relieve oneself there?"
"Look at that carpet! Dark blue with white stars, it's so soft and fluffy underfoot, even more comfortable than our quilts!"
"And those sunflowers! Real flowers! Can flowers really grow inside a silver dragon's belly? That car is going so fast, won't the flowers be blown over by the wind?"
"Hey! That's a closed room, with windows and curtains, the wind can't get in! Didn't you hear the little guy say it was a small room?"
"If we were born in modern times, wouldn't we be able to live inside this silver dragon's belly every day and travel the world?"
Under the shade of trees on the outskirts of the city, a few idlers sighed again, "We were truly born at the wrong time! If we were inside that silver dragon's belly, with food, drink, and a soft bed, who would bother with these petty thefts?"
Under the sky, Xiao Sizi had already taken out colorful clay and was happily sculpting it while sitting on the bed.
Lu Chen sat down beside her and kneaded the dough with her.
Beneath the vast sky, all was silent, except for the astonished gazes that lingered on the "belly of the silver dragon."
The little guy knelt on the bunk, his chubby little hands clutching a lump of sky-blue clay, oblivious to the pink clay smeared on his nose.
She pressed the clay into her palm, rolled it into a round ball, then poked two dents into it with her little finger. She held it up in front of Lu Chen and waved it, saying, "Clay pot! It's so cute! It's so delicious!"
Lu Chen leaned over and helped her stick the "eyes" onto the clay "silver dragon's" head, laughing, "Si Zi's silver dragon is even cuter than the ones outside."
The little guy swung his toes proudly, then suddenly tilted his head and stared at the door of the private room: "Brother, what happened to the duck that ran away after Yinnong's attack? Will it go hungry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shuddered slightly, and the platform outside the window seemed to recede backward as if by magic.
Little Sizi cried out and pounced on the window, pressing its nose against the cool glass: "It's moving! It's moving! Yinnong is flying!"
Pointing to the passing trees and houses, she said in her sweet, childlike voice, "The trees are running backward! The clouds are chasing after me!"
Lu Chen got up, brought over the honey-infused water he had prepared, and handed it to Xiao Sizi: "If you drink this sweet water, you'll run even faster."
The little one took a big gulp from the cup, his eyes curving into crescents: "The silver dragon's belly is so soft and warm, and the sweet, fragrant water is even more comfortable than the little bed in the palace!"
Li Shimin, watching his daughter frolicking in the private room from outside the canopy, gently tapped the table with his fingertips.
Empress Zhangsun leaned against him and whispered, "Sizi is happier there than in the palace."
Li Shimin gazed at the high-speed train speeding across the screen, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes: "If the Tang Dynasty had such a silver dragon, I could take you and the children to see all the spring scenery of Jiangnan in a single day."
Inside the carriage, after sculpting the silver dragon, Xiao Sizi rolled the clay into thin strips and wrapped them around Lu Chen's fingers: "Brother, wear a hair ring!"
Lu Chen obediently stretched out his hand, letting her wrap the colorful clay strips into a "bracelet".
The little guy clapped his hands in satisfaction, then suddenly yawned, rubbed his eyes, and snuggled into Lu Chen's arms: "Brother, is Silver Dragon tired from running? I want to sleep soundly—"
Lu Chen carried her to the bed and covered her with a thin blanket.
Little Si rubbed against the pillow and mumbled, "The silver dragon's belly is so warm—" She quickly closed her eyes, a sweet smile still on her face.
Sunlight streamed through the curtains and fell on her little hands, which were covered in modeling clay.
Lu Chen gently wiped the powder off her hands and whispered, "Go to sleep. Silver Dragon will take us to see even more beautiful scenery."
After saying that, Lu Chen lay down as well, shielding the little guy inside.
Lu Chen set an alarm and then went to sleep.
Whew~~Whew~~
The two, one big and one small, drifted off into a sweet dream.
"Ding ding dong di di di da..." The alarm clock rang.
Lu Chen was woken up by the noise.
He looked at the little ox; the little guy was still sleeping sweetly.
The little one's cheeks were rosy, and his eyelashes, like windshield wipers, fluttered.
"Sizi, wake up, we're getting off the bus. Mom and Dad are here to pick us up."
Lu Chen gently rocked the little ox.
"Hmm?" The little one opened his sleepy eyes. "Where are Mommy and Daddy?"
"Mom and Dad are waiting for us outside at the train station. We'll see them when we get off the train."
"Darling, are Mom and Dad making porridge?"
"Of course! Sisi is so well-behaved and cute, everyone loves you. Mom and Dad are already waiting outside, and we've already tidied up your room at home."

"Oh, thank you, Mom and Dad~~"
The little guy pouted.
