Chapter 6: A girlish dragon

Then according to Eric’s descriptions, he had previously lived together inseparably with this body’s mother for a year. With one person (male) and one dragon (female) getting along for a long period of time, perhaps some inter-species romance had developed one day, then finally with a rumble Tahinir  had laid an egg, and then sorrowfully told the father she was off to incubate it…

b.e.s.t.i.a.lity huh.

Yi Longlong scorned in her heart. He didn’t even spare a dragon.

Eric’s complexion blanked for a few seconds. When he completed digested the meaning hidden in the last sentence from Yi Longlong, his face immediately became distorted. Upon his relaxed smile floated an expression of someone barely restraining themselves from slaying a dragon.

This was but a young dragon, their understandings and views were different and not to mention she was still the child of Tahinir. If there were any faults, then as her mother’s friend, he should tolerate it.

Eric tried his best to rea.s.sure himself, then after some time, he finally regained his composure and gasped out, “Little fella, your mother and I are just purely friends.”

As a dragon, there was no doubt Tahinir was beautiful, but that was beauty to a dragon’s standards. Even if he didn’t have any relations.h.i.+ps with the ladies, he would not change his measure of beauty from a human perspective to a dragon’s.

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Yi Longlong became slightly embarra.s.sed, and sincerely apologized. “I’m sorry, big uncle.”

Just as the words left her, an expression of really wanting to slay a dragon once again appeared on Eric’s face. He took a deep breath, then tried to show a gentle look as he spoke to Yi Longlong in a very depressed tone. “I’m still very young, I still haven’t reached the age of being called a big uncle. You can directly call me by my name.”

Eric had never been suspicious of why Yi Longlong, who had never met any outsiders before, had such clear cognitive abilities. Everyone knew that the dragon race gained wisdom quicker than the humans, and through his interactions with Tahinir, he even knew the dragons had a secret. The children could partially inherit their parent’s intelligence, and so not only did he not suspect that the soul residing in this young dragon was not the original product, he was also quite overjoyed. Although the child of Tahinir did not grow and develop too well, her intelligence was not too lacking. It was a blessing amidst misfortune. Although this cleverness made him want to slay a dragon, it didn’t stop him from feeling gratified.

Thinking back to his old friend, Eric was refilled with warmth. As for the things that Yi Longlong had babbled about, he no longer took to heart.  He gently looked at the clear blue eyes appearing in the gra.s.s, and as he looked, this little fella gradually gave him the impression of something weaker and smaller. Tahinir was the mightiest of dragons; she would have probably never thought that her own child would be this weak and small, right?

Having exchanged stares for a while, Yi Longlong could feel his kindness. Only then did she lower her guard, and once again slowly walked out from the gra.s.s. Even though she did not have any evidence to judge whether everything he said was true, the other party did not have any need to spread lies to her. If Eric wanted to harm a weak and pet.i.te thing like her, then he would only need to use physical violence to achieve it.

Although Eric did not show his strength, Yi Longlong could feel it. He was very, very powerful. From the moment he got here, she already had that feeling.

She still wanted to know more about her situation, and hear everything Eric had to say about all things related to that, such as dragons per say.

“That…” Yi Longlong nervously waved her snow white claws. “You don’t have any urgent matters, right? If it’s convenient, how about living here for a few days, okay?”
