Xavier did not answer the child's words. He blinked, then blinked again, his eyes carrying a bit of curiosity as he looked at the dirty child outside.
Because both his memory and inheritance were flawed, Xavier's personality was also influenced by his young beast form, and his daily behavior was like a child. Therefore, when in the Black Dragon territory, Xavier very much liked playing with the children in the territory. Naturally, besides the children, the adults were busy working during the day and needed to study handicrafts and literacy by lamplight at night, so they didn't have much time to play.
Ever since Jasmine took over the territory, she had always attached great importance to nurturing the young children in the territory. The adults were mostly formerly slaves; their personalities and cognition had long been fixed over decades of living as slaves. Even if Jasmine intentionally guided them, it was very difficult for those slaves to think and work independently.
