Chapter 3404 Drawing Lots
"Dad, I'm hungry." This was the first time Xiao Lin Rui said this to Linton during the ceremony.
If it were other children, this matter would obviously be easily solved. Just take the time to put something small in the child's mouth and eat it. Even if someone sees it, no one will say anything.
But the problem is that Xiao Linrui's side is different. What kind of appetite does this guy have? Although there are people preparing it next to him, no matter how much he stuffs it, he can't be fed at all.
In fact, although Saiyans have a huge appetite, they are not that exaggeratedly hungry. Otherwise, we would have to spend a lot of time eating, eating, eating every day.
Not being fed enough does not mean that you are hungry. In fact, there will be no problem if you don't eat for a few days or nights. It's just that the little guy is really small. He smells the smell and the greedy one is drawn out.
Theoretically, the little guy is still too old to eat the same food as adults, but this does not apply to Xiao Lin Rui either. The other children were worried that he would not be able to digest it, but Xiaolin Rui, who inherited the fine tradition of eating whatever tastes delicious to him of the Saiyan blood, did not have to worry about this at all.
And given Lin Rui's current age, he obviously doesn't understand what is going on in front of him. He just wanted to eat it because he was greedy.
There was no need for Linton to reason with him, because Xiao Linrui was not old enough to listen to reason now, and he didn't understand what he had to say.
It can only be said that this process is more difficult than he thought.
Fortunately, he was quite bored himself and still had time to pass the time by chatting with his children.
"You're not hungry."
"Dad, I'm hungry."
"You're not hungry."
"Hungry..."
"I'm not hungry." It's such endless nonsense. It's quite interesting to see the little guy anxiously trying to express his opinion.
Fortunately, no matter how long the ceremony is, it has an end. After going through a lot of rituals that neither Lin Rui nor Linton could understand, we finally came to the last step, which was the gift part.
Of course, there are many people who want to give Xiaolin Rui gifts, but there are not many people who are qualified to give them to him on this occasion.
The first person to give Xiao Linrui a gift was Linton himself, which was the most important gift. It expresses the father's expectations for the child.
As for the gift Linton gave, as I had already mentioned before, it was a flying sword. It is a real fairy treasure, the kind that can even take you directly to heaven.
Of course, Xiaolin Rui will definitely not be able to actually use this thing now. He has already learned how to use Qi on his own, just like the mixed-race Saiyan's own talent. Not only is he able to dance in the air, but he can even release shock waves similar to Qigong waves from his mouth and hands.
But he still doesn't know how to use aura, and obviously can't really activate the flying sword.
Otherwise, in this situation, just flying with a sword might be quite effective. Now, this flying sword can only be said to be an object that represents His Majesty the Emperor's expectations for his son's bravery.
In short, Linton gave Lin Rui the flying sword, which means that he hopes Lin Rui will become an invincible swordsman. The meaning is very good. Although no one has ever seen a sword of this style, this thing just has a symbolic meaning, it is just a weapon, and no one cares whether it looks strange or not. As for Yalan, what she gave was a red cloth bag, which contained a common staple food in the empire, something similar to steamed buns, but not made of flour.
There is no choice in this gift, because the traditional mother of the empire can only give this gift, and it is the same for every child. So Yalan has never had any worries about gifts.
As for what the meaning of this thing is, I'm really not sure. It can only be said that some things have been spread to this day, and some of them have unclear origins. Everyone knows that they do it, but they don’t know why.
Of course, this thing almost caused an accident, because Xiao Linrui probably smelled that the food inside was for food, and when he saw Yalan handing it to him, he almost opened it and ate it. After all, in his opinion, this thing was his mother who heard him shouting that he was hungry. Hand him some food.
However, in fact, this food cannot be eaten, at least not in person during the ceremony.
Fortunately, just when Xiao Linrui took it and wanted to open the bag and eat it on the spot, he was stopped by Linton next to him, so that he wouldn't make an own mistake.
After Linton and Yalan gave gifts, it was the other chosen people who gave gifts. This was the drawing of lots as mentioned before.
Seven gifts were delivered to Xiao Lin Rui. There were supposed to be eight, but wasn't one of them family-friendly, so now there were only seven.
Fortunately, there is no hard and fast rule on the number of gifts. One less and one more does not matter. Although none of the families who sent the gifts were informed that they would be selected, the gifts must still be given.
The gifts were of various categories, but of course there were no weapons among them. Because they all knew in advance that Linton was going to give him a sword, naturally no one else could give him weapons. Otherwise, you want to compete with Linton, your biological father, to see who can give you the better weapons, right? Are you quite the prince's biological father?
So what the Miran family notified him before was to give him something like a music box. Yalan's own plan was to let Xiao Lin Rui listen to that piece of music first, and then let him hear the music when the lot was drawn. There is a high probability that Xiao Lin Rui Rui will catch this.
But it is obviously not necessary now, and no preparations have been made in advance.
When the things were delivered to Xiao Linrui, Xiao Linrui was obviously still confused and didn't know what to do. He was still struggling with the question of whether the food in the red bag could be eaten.
"Xiao Lin Rui, choose one." Yalan encouraged from the side. She knew that Xiao Lin Rui's current intelligence level should be able to understand.
Yes, Xiaolin Rui's development level is obviously higher than other children of the same age. This is not a strange thing among the Saiyans. After all, just after he is born, he may be sent to other planets for invasion. As a nation, it is normal to develop quickly.
Although Xiaolin Rui is of mixed race, he has inherited many of these characteristics. You see, he was even trying to reason with Linton just now, strongly expressing his opinion on whether he was hungry or not.
The moment I saw Xiao Linrui take action, I felt that the surrounding guests stopped breathing nervously. This was much more nervous than him.
In the end, Xiao Linrui here picked up a stuffed toy of a rabbit-like monster, and the next moment, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Who is giving stuffed toys to boys?" Linton next to him was about to say it just now, but now he couldn't hold it back anymore, "And you, rabbits are so cute, why do you want to eat rabbits?"
So the final result of the lottery is that the rabbit family that presents the thing that looks most like food wins. Only now did Linton realize that the child might be really hungry.
