Chapter 282 - AN ARROW TO HIS HEART (2/2)

”Thank you for your understanding,” Luo Yan said smiling. ”Then may I ask how did a venerable one such as yourself ended up in this cave?”

”This king—” the dragon stopped. ”This king can't remember.” He raised his head, panic written all over his face. ”Why can't this king remember?”

Luo Yan was slightly taken aback at first. But then, he immediately recovered. Based on what the dragon said, it seemed like he was suffering from amnesia. Which actually made sense. Since the Gamekeeper asked them to find out the identity and history of this dragon, it would be a very easy task if the dragon had full access to his memories.

He turned to Shen Ji Yun and saw in his eyes that the other was probably thinking the same thing.

Luo Yan looked at the dragon who seemed to be on the verge of another panic attack. So, he stretched his hand and gently stroked his head. ”Please, calm down, venerable one. If it's not too presumptuous to ask, me and my friend could help you with your current flight.”

The dragon looked suspiciously at Luo Yan. But it was obvious that Luo Yan was able to calm him down. Because there was no longer any sign of panicking on his face. ”Why would you propose to help this king?”

”Since we found you here and we already help you heal your wounds, I think it's just right for us to help you gain your memory back,” Luo Yan explained, spouting a lot of nonsense with a gentle smile on his face. ”Besides,” he stood up and walked beside Shen Ji Yun. ”My friend here is a Qilin. He also belonged to a Legendary race like you. It wouldn't be too bad to receive help from someone like him, right?”

After Luo Yan said that, the dragon's attention turned to Shen Ji Yun. He looked him up and down and then his gaze stayed at the pair of golden antler-shaped horns on top of Shen Ji Yun's head.

”A Qilin? Hmp! What's so good about him? He's not even half as majestic as this king. But if you want to be a servant of this king, then you'll do. This king allows you to help me regain my memories.”

The corner of Luo Yan's lips twitched. This dragon definitely had what people called 'prince complex'. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and saw his expression darkened. He looked like he was on the verge of attacking the dragon. He held the other's hand to prevent that.

Shen Ji Yun's attention was transferred because of the warmth that he suddenly felt from his hand. He looked down and saw Luo Yan's slender white fingers holding on to his. Then he raised his head to look at Luo Yan.

”Be a little more patient, okay, Brother Ji Yun?” he said, winking at him.

Shen Ji Yun just felt like an arrow went straight to his heart because of that wink. He had to lower his head just so Luo Yan wouldn't see his blushing face. ”Yeah.”

Of course, the oblivious rabbit didn't notice that and just turned his attention back to the dragon.
