Reborn As A Cute Loli

*** Dragon Realm, East Dragon Continent (about a hundred years ago)

It was already dark but one high-pitched and one low-pitched voice were heard conversing from the palace gardens.

"I will name her Lilith!"

"Lilith? What if he's a boy?"

"No, even if he's a boy. He will still be called Lilith." A beautiful middle-aged lady said c.a.r.e.s.sing her swollen belly. She was so beautiful that she could cause the downfall of a city but her face held a hint of stubbornness causing the man's face to soften.

"The spirit of the night... isn't that very fitting?" Ever since the mistress of the East Dragon Palace got pregnant. She had been visiting the gardens, gazing at the stars every night. And every night, his husband, the King of East Dragon Palace, made time out of his busy schedule to accompany her.

The man in regal robes only smiled wryly, not giving a reply.

"What?! You don't like it? I'm the one laboring to carry our child and I don't even get to name him?!" The lady's voice was getting higher along with her temper.

"Of course, he would be called Lilith..." the man panicked and hurriedly appeased her. "My wife is the best. Even the names she comes up with is the best!" the man said kissing the lady's forehead.

Inwardly, he was apologizing for the kid in his wife's belly. 'Father has done his best if you're a boy, then I owe you one.' He then proceeded to trail kisses to his wife's neck to her tummy over her clothes.

"*Cough*" A lady beside the two was speechless with the two people's show of love and lit a candle for her future sibling. No matter how much importance the entire East Dragon Continent places in this potential heir. For their father, he cannot be compared to a pinky of their mother.

The East Dragon King only had one wife and one daughter. This is cannot be compared to kings of other areas with hundreds of concubines and dozens of offsprings.

His Queen wasn't able to give him a male heir. But even after his courtiers repeatedly exhorted him to take in concubines, he pushed them all away. Because of this, the couple has been the subject of envy and ridicule in the entire Dragon Realm.

Nobody expected their Queen to conceive again and after years of fruitless effort. For cultivators, the higher their age and cultivation level, the harder and more dangerous it is to conceive. The prime age to produce offsprings is at half a century. For the couple, who was past that prime for at least a hundred years, this child is their miracle.

"Shao'er is here!" The woman blushed as she slapped her husband's arm.

"Mother! Father!" The lady bowed before excitedly going to her mother's side and putting her ears on her mother's belly.

The woman just smiled at her daughter's behavior. "Shao'er, do you want to visit maternal grandfather? He sent someone to pick you up."

The lady's face immediately soured firmly answering 'No.'

"Don't worry I will make sure he sends you back before I give birth. Now go and pack up. Don't keep your grandfather's aides waiting.

"Yes mother." The lady reluctantly left, looking back at her mother's figure every three steps, as if waiting for her to retract her order. However, she didn't hear anything until she reached the garden's exit.

After she left, the woman once again gazed at the sky. However, there were no stars.. all of them hidden among thick clouds.

"Did you do all the preparations I told you?" The woman suddenly become solemn.

"En."

"There are no stars, a storm is coming."

"En."
