Xiao Qingyang cautiously cradled the golden dragon in his arms. It was the perfect size, but it was surprisingly heavy. For his frail and thin frame, carrying it home would surely strain his arms.

Nevertheless, Xiao Qingyang couldn't bear to leave the adorable golden dragon on the ground.

This was the first time he had seen a dragon, the legendary creature. And it was so small, making it even more rare. He wondered if this dragon would grow into a majestic and powerful being like those in his mother's world or if it was a unique species that didn't grow larger in this world.

Regardless, the golden dragon was currently cute, and he couldn't help but hold onto it dearly.

With each step he took, Xiao Qingyang had to pause and catch his breath due to the weight, but he had no intention of letting go. He persevered until he reached his doorstep.

This was undoubtedly the longest journey Xiao Qingyang had ever taken to get home.

"Grandpa Du, quickly bring the medical kit," Xiao Qingyang shouted loudly as soon as he entered the house.

The wound on the golden dragon's body needed disinfection. Xiao Qingyang wasn't sure when the healing potion he had made would fully heal it. After all, the potion's effectiveness was limited. He needed to research and develop higher-level potions as soon as possible.

"Where are you injured, Young Master? Let me take a look," the old butler replied with concern and urgency as he hurriedly brought the medical kit, his face filled with worry.

Xiao Qingyang realized that the butler had misunderstood and quickly lifted the golden dragon in his arms to show him. He explained, "It's not me who's injured, it's this little one."

Relieved that it wasn't Xiao Qingyang who was hurt, the butler finally shifted his gaze to the golden dragon in his arms, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.

"What is this?" The butler looked at the appearance of the golden dragon with some confusion, forming a conjecture in his mind, but finding it hard to believe.

"I encountered it in the forest. It's injured, so I brought it back. Grandpa Du, can I keep it?" Xiao Qingyang asked anxiously.

The butler stared intently at the golden dragon, and the thought resurfaced in his mind.

The creature in Young Master's arms resembled the dragon race so much. The only beings in the entire empire with a beast form as dragons were the royal family.

The royal family was the most mysterious and powerful family in the Huaxia Empire, with each member incredibly formidable and possessing an S-rank constitution since birth. They were the family with the highest potential in the entire empire.

Of course, the royal family's mystery was not only due to their strength but also because of their beast form. Aside from their partners and children, hardly anyone had the chance to witness the true form of a royal family member.

It was widely known that the reason why superhumans were stronger than ordinary people was because their beast forms were more powerful than their human forms.

However, the offspring of the royal family could easily surpass other superhumans in their human form alone, without even having the opportunity to transform into their beast form. How could anyone have seen the true form of a royal family member?

Therefore, it was common knowledge that the beast form of the royal family was a dragon—imposing and powerful, but no one could provide a detailed description of its appearance, only a general description that closely resembled the little creature in front of them.

But setting aside the immense power of royal family members, how could this small creature get injured to such an extent? Moreover, the crown prince of the current royal family was already an adult, unmarried, and had no offspring. Other branches of the royal family with children wouldn't have such young ones either. So, it was even less likely for this little creature to be a member of the royal family.

Perhaps it was just an animal that bore a strong resemblance to the royal family's beast form. After all, the empire was vast, with numerous planets. It wouldn't be surprising to find wild beasts similar to superhumans' beast forms.

"Young Master, you can keep it if you want," the butler kindly smiled and replied.

Ever since Young Master was discovered to have weak psychic abilities and physical strength, he had become increasingly silent and uncommunicative. These past few days, he had finally regained his childhood liveliness. The butler didn't want to disappoint him further. Life had already been quite challenging here, so if Young Master could be happy, what reason did he have to object?

"Thank you, Grandpa Du," Xiao Qingyang happily smiled. He carefully tended to the golden dragon's wounds and placed it on his own bed.

After completing these tasks, Xiao Qingyang decided to continue making the curative potions. Although the potions had limited effectiveness on the golden dragon's wounds, something was better than nothing.

However, if he wanted the golden dragon to recover sooner, he would need higher-level healing potions. To make those, he needed higher-grade spiritual plants, which couldn't be found in the wild. He would have to buy them from cultivated sources or grow them himself from seeds.

And what he lacked right now... was money to purchase the spiritual plants. Sigh...

Xiao Qingyang felt the hardship of being short on money for the first time. He had never worried about these things in the past.

Oh well, making the healing potions was the priority for now.
