A sleeping black dragon wasn't awakened by the gentle sound of the little leopard. His eyes were still closed and he seemed to sleep soundly.

The little leopard put down his paws and moved lightly. He drilled underneath Dragon Aojia's wings and leaned against the black dragon. This wasn't soft but it was very warm. He lay down, placed his head on his paws and closed his eyes.

Maybe next time, he could carve a sleeping black dragon...

Snoring, a bulging belly, small wings, dragon claws holding his tail while sleeping, a cute version of the black dragon...

There was a smug smile on the little leopard's face at the dazed thoughts while his thick tail naturally turned and fit against the black dragon's neck. It wasn't until the little leopard's soft snoring was heard that the black dragon opened his eyes, turned his head slightly and glanced at the leopard sleeping soundly under his wings.

Just then, Chief Guard Calant asked to enter. Aojia glanced in the direction of the voice and allowed Calant to enter. Calant, who was full of a desire for gossip, pushed open the door and was shocked by what he saw.

The approximately two metres long black dragon lay on the ground in the centre of the room, slightly unfurled dragon wings lying gently over the little leopard. He had never seen his boss so at peace and in this shrunken state.

'Sir, you... aren't you being too eccentric?'

Then his commanding officer glanced over with sharp and cold eyes. The black dragon's low-pitched voice was heard. "What's the matter?"

Calant's mouth twitched several times before he found his voice. "Sir, it... it is a video call from His Majesty."

The royal banquet was approaching and the marshal of the empire claimed to be seriously injured and couldn't go. His Majesty was naturally scared but it was impossible not to ask questions. However, their boss' personal quantum computer refused external access and His Majesty's video call was naturally passed to the aircraft.

Aojia turned his dragon head and lay it on his claws. "You pick it up for me."

Calant nodded and quickly closed the door. Then he stood at the door, staring at it in a stunned manner for a while. It seemed he would have to have a good talk with Eagle Tan. This little leopard was truly in their boss' heart and the eagle must look after him carefully, not letting him be abducted from the academy.

Aojia's previous journey to the Imperial Capital was changed due to Aojia's mania. Thus, the speed jumps weren't used. This time, the voyage was stable and under Aojia's command, the aircraft used the speed jumps.

This allowed the little leopard to have a good night's sleep and he woke up at his destination.

Rong Mingshi, who was held in one hand, raised his paws and rubbed his face. He looked outside  the terminal where the aircraft was docked. The Imperial Capital was the most prosperous planet in the empire and there were many high-rise buildings nearby. In the distance, there were several suspensions, with even more magnificent buildings on the suspended land.

Aojia held the little leopard's thick paw and told him, "I'll first take you to the college to register before going home."

Rong Mingshi wrapped a thick tail around Aojia's arm and guiltily looked at Aojia. He was still concerned that he couldn't speak yet. Aojia's other hand rubbed his head. "It's fine. There is still some time before school starts."

The little leopard nodded. He was comforted by the black dragon and unexpectedly didn't feel there was anything to worry about.

The black dragon, who claimed to be seriously injured, changed into black casual wear, slightly disguised himself and drove a suspension car with the little leopard directly to the Imperial Capital's Carver Academy.
