My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 727 Xiaobai’s Fever Went Down 2

Little Black Dragon Bo Fengyin put its skills to use, clutching the Luminous Pearl tightly in its small claws. After a forceful twist, the seamlessly joined rock walls slid open from the center, revealing a much larger passage before them.

However, the floor of the passage was uneven and naturally uncarved, clearly not meant for walking. The passage, however, was vast and perfectly suited for Giant Dragons to navigate.

"This is definitely the place!" Sheng Liuyun exclaimed upon glimpsing the naturally uncarved passage. Certain, he transformed into a Giant Dragon, eager to fly inside.

Yun Yin and Lu Jinyi both transformed into Giant Dragons, intending to explore and see what the Dragon Pond looked like.

Curiosity led them to be the first to fly in to scout the path ahead.

The White Dragon Si Mingjing brought up the rear. She flew back to Mo Yinhe and said, "Husband, get on."

Without wasting words, Mo Yinhe, holding Xiaobai, mounted her back. Once he was settled, Si Mingjing headed toward the passage.

Several Giant Dragons entered one after another, flying and weaving through the natural tunnel for a full ten minutes before finally reaching the end.

Before them appeared an even larger undersea Dark River, the sight of its rushing waters astonishing everyone.

The river was several dozen meters wide, its water clear enough to see to the bottom. It was a freshwater body, separate from the salty ocean water, and to this day, they had seemingly never mixed; otherwise, the Dark River’s freshwater and the ocean’s saltwater would have long since merged.

This was a massive cavern, inspiring awe at nature’s miraculous craftsmanship.

The Giant Dragons up ahead had already plunged headfirst into the Dark River, frolicking in its waters.

Mo Yinhe sat atop the White Dragon Si Mingjing, his expression also one of amazement. He said, "This must be the source of the dragon vein. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Dragon Clan of the Mu Continent discovered this dragon vein Dark River. Even after the Mu Continent was submerged by seawater and sank to the ocean floor, this Dark River was not destroyed. Mingjing, I bet you will like it here."

"I do like it. The aura here makes one really want to swim freely within it," Si Mingjing honestly admitted.

"Daddy, daddy, is this Dragon Pond?"

The Little Black Dragon Bo Fengyin swam around in the Dark River, leaping up and diving down.

Mo Yinhe replied, "Perhaps."

He placed the unconscious Xiaobai in the water, and Xiaobai quickly transformed into a small white dragon.

Just then, the Black Dragon Bo Leng, having scouted the area, swam back and said, "Not here! Come this way!"

Bo Leng had found a branch of the Dark River up ahead. It was the size of a pond, with water temperatures different from that of the main Dark River.

The water in the Dark River was cool, but the water in this pond was warm. One could clearly see several outlets where spring water bubbled up from limestone caves below, much like a gushing spring or fountain, with a large flow.

Here, there were signs of deliberate carving; exquisite murals adorned the rock walls above and around the Dragon Pond.

The murals also depicted dragons, lifelike in their detail.

Next to the Dragon Pond stood a jade pillar, upon which four characters were engraved: "Dragon Pond Sacred Ground."

Mo Yinhe, still on the White Dragon Si Mingjing, held the small white dragon Ye Nianbai in his arms. After arriving at the Dragon Pond, he placed Xiaobai into its warm waters, frowning.

"Xiaobai already has an unrelenting fever, and now it’s like soaking in a hot spring. Are you sure this won’t make his illness worse?"

Si Mingjing couldn’t be certain; it was a desperate measure for a desperate time.

"Let’s try it," Si Mingjing said. "We’ll see if soaking for a while helps Xiaobai wake up. If it really takes half a year of soaking here to recover his vitality, it would be too hard on the child."

Si Mingjing’s heart ached, but there was currently no better solution.

She transformed into human form and sat side by side with Mo Yinhe by the Dragon Pond, Mo Yinhe’s arm around her shoulder, letting her lean on him.

Everyone else had gone to enjoy themselves in the Dark River, leaving only Little Xiangru in the Dragon Pond, circling the unconscious small white dragon.

An indeterminate amount of time passed—perhaps an hour, or two.

The comatose small white dragon suddenly twitched its tail and slowly opened its adorable eyes, curiously surveying its surroundings. Upon seeing Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing sitting by the Dragon Pond, it swiftly swam towards them.

"Jingjing, Daddy~~"

A drowsy Si Mingjing, eyes half-closed, jumped into the Dragon Pond. "Xiaobai, you’re awake?" she asked, stroking the small white dragon. "How do you feel?"

The small white dragon transformed into an adorable human child, touched his chubby and cute Dragon Horns, and said, "Jingjing, this bath feels so comfy! Where is this place? I’ve never been here before."

Si Mingjing grasped Xiaobai’s wrist, as tender and pale as a lotus root, to check his pulse.

Mo Yinhe also jumped into the Dragon Pond and stood beside mother and son. Waiting for Si Mingjing to finish, he asked, "How is it? Is it working?"

After checking his pulse, Si Mingjing placed her hand on Xiaobai’s forehead. "His fever seems to have gone down a bit," she said. "It should be working. But Xiaobai’s vital energy is still very weak; it’s a case of both qi and blood deficiency."

Mo Yinhe’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He reached out to rub Xiaobai’s head, relieved the fever was subsiding.

However, ancient texts stated one must stay here for six months. Mo Yinhe couldn’t bear for his child to live like an ascetic here.

Mo Yinhe speculated, "Perhaps Xiaobai could stay with his eldest maternal uncle in Shendu and come to the Dragon Pond for a few hours each day?"

Si Mingjing was also unsure. "Why not?" she suggested. "Let’s try that first."

They couldn’t just leave the child here alone for six months without any care. What would he eat and drink then?

「Meanwhile, in Baitown City.」

Ye Jingzhe, Xi Lei, Gu Shurong, and Su Chaoyang were all bouncing back to vibrant health under the careful care of their uncles, their fevers having subsided.

Si Lisao asked in the WeChat group: "@Bo Leng, where are you?"

Bo Leng was frolicking in the Dark River and hadn’t checked WeChat.

After waiting for a while and receiving no reply, Si Lisao called Si Mingjing.

His voice was steady but couldn’t hide his concern. "Where are you? How is Xiaobai?" he asked.

Si Mingjing replied, "Crown Prince, we’re in Shendu on the Mu Continent. There’s a Dragon Pond here that’s helping Xiaobai recover his vitality. How are Jingzhe and the others? Have their fevers subsided?"

"They’re all better now." Si Lisao’s tone indicated clear familiarity. "You mentioned the Dragon Pond?"

Si Mingjing asked, "Crown Prince, you know of the Dragon Pond?"

"I do, I just wasn’t sure where it was. The Dragon Pond is in Shendu?"

"Yes, it’s within the Jianglong Mountain Range on the outskirts of Shendu. An ancient book says that if one’s vitality is severely depleted, they can recuperate in the Dragon Pond for six months. So we brought Xiaobai here. But now we have a question: we don’t know if he needs to stay immersed for twenty-four hours straight or just a few hours each day... Crown Prince, do you know?"

After a moment of thought, Si Lisao said, "I vaguely remember... soaking for one shichen—that’s two hours—each day should be enough. The Dragon Pond’s aid in restoring a Dragon Clan member’s vitality is significant. I thought the Dragon Pond had been destroyed long ago, so I never mentioned this method. Since you’ve found it, Xiaobai’s issue shouldn’t be a major concern. Just let him soak in the Dragon Pond for two hours each day."
