Chapter 283 - LITTLE BLACKS NEW NAME (1/2)

”VENERABLE one, is there really nothing you could remember?” Luo Yan asked the dragon.

”Are you saying that this king is lying?” the dragon said, seemingly annoyed by Luo Yan's question.

”No, of course not,” he quickly said. ”I was just hoping that we could get some important clue regarding your identity if you remember anything. Even the smallest detail would be helpful.”

The dragon became silent for a while, obviously falling into a deep thought. He was probably digging into his missing memories. Doing his best to find any important clues. And then his face was suddenly filled with frustration. With just that, Luo Yan could tell that he couldn't really remember anything. That's a no go, huh. It seemed like they had to start from scratch then.

”Anyway, what does it matter if I remember anything or not? It's obvious that this king is an important dragon,” the dragon said in a quite stubborn manner.

Well, Luo Yan had to agree on that. This dragon obviously had the habit of referring to himself as 'king'. Which meant that he was either a dragon belonging to royalty or something equally similar. But wait- was there even such a thing as royalty in the Legendary race?

”Yes, the venerable one is correct,” Luo Yan could only say. ”I think we should temporarily give you a name. It would be inconvenient to not even know what to call you.” He turned to Shen Ji Yun. ”Don't you think so too, Brother YUN?”

Shen Ji Yun only nodded. He was no longer interested in this dragon. He decided to just go with the flow. Since he only took this task because of Luo Yan, he would just follow whatever the other decided.

”Then what name do you think is good?” Luo Yan asked that to Shen Ji Yun because this dragon would soon be his pet. It was only right for Shen Ji Yun to name the dragon.

Shen Ji Yun glanced at the dragon, his beast-like amethyst eyes had no emotions in them. It was like he was looking at an insignificant ant rather than a mythical dragon. ”I think Little Black is good.”

Eclipse went into a fit of laughter after Shen Ji Yun said that. [Yes, yes, that name really suits you. Good thinking, Captain. You're the best!] – he said even if Shen Ji Yun couldn't hear him at all.

The smile on Luo Yan's lips almost turned into a grimaced when he heard that. He wasn't sure if it was because Shen Ji Yun didn't have any naming sense or he simply didn't like the dragon. He had a feeling it was more of the latter.

As expected, the dragon reacted violently. If he had a fur, all his hairs were probably standing up by now. Like some pissed off cat. ”Do you dare call this king a name that even a pet would be embarrassed to have?”

Shen Ji Yun only glanced at the dragon with a look as if silently saying 'yes, I dare, do you have a problem with that?'. Which made the dragon even more infuriated. Luo Yan quickly stepped between the two before Shen Ji Yun really sliced the dragon. He had a feeling that the other would really not hesitate to do that if he's given a chance. Of course, he had to stop that before it could happen.

”Then how about the name 'Dusk'? I think it has a nice ring to it. And it totally compliments the color of your scales. It's a beautiful black. Just like the night dusk – the darkest part of twilight,” he said, smiling. ”What does the venerable one think?”

”Hmp! It would suffice.”

Even though the dragon snorted and turned his head to the side, one could clearly see that he was very satisfied with this name. It probably helped that Luo Yan unabashedly complimented his scales.

”That's great! Then Master Dusk, let me introduce ourselves. You already know Eclipse. The one carrying him is called YUN. As mentioned before, he's a qilin. And my name is Noctis. As you may have already noticed, I'm a moon elf. And you're currently at the moon elves' Origin Village,” Luo Yan explained, trying to see any reaction on the dragon's face when he mentioned the place they were in.
