Chapter 282 - AN ARROW TO HIS HEART
LUO YAN'S face was filled with black lines after he heard what the dragon said. What seducing? He was clearly just smiling. How did it turn to him 'seducing' someone? Just what kind of brain circuit does this dragon have? It seemed like the programming department of Moonlight Media became more and more colorful with how they programmed their NPCs.
Behind him, Shen Ji Yun's face was also not so good after hearing what the dragon said. How could this dragon's thinking even veer in that kind of direction? Especially when Luo Yan hadn't done anything to warrant that kind of comment. He suddenly wondered if it's really the right thing to make this dragon his pet. If he did, he could already imagine the annoyance he would suffer every day.
Should he have a talk with Luo Yan? Telling him to just leave this dragon somewhere after they finished the task?
Eclipse, staying in Shen Ji Yun's arms, glared at the dragon. [You stupid lizard! How dare you accused Mashter of something like that? Do you think you're worth it for Mashter to seduce you? Look at Eclipse's Mashter. He's the most beautiful being you could ever lay eyes on. And then look at you. You're just a small black lizard with wings. Do you still think you're worth it?]
Luo Yan almost laughed when he heard what Eclipse said. This little pet of his could really say the most amusing things at times.
Of course, Eclipse's barrage was also heard by the dragon. He glared at the fox. "You damn kitsune! How dare you speak like that to this king? Just you wait. Once I have my normal body back, I'll turn you into a barbecued fox!" he shouted, spewing small blue flames at the same time.
Eclipse who was very courageous just now buried his little furry head on Shen Ji Yun's arms. But he didn't forget to say, [Hmp! Do you think you have a chance against Captain? Captain will definitely beat you to a pulp!]
Before Eclipse and the dragon went to another round of bickering, Luo Yan interrupted them.
"As his master, I apologized for Eclipse's rude behavior. He just hatched from his egg a few weeks ago, so he's still a baby who hasn't experienced the world. I hope a benevolent being such as yourself could show your magnanimity towards him."
As Luo Yan said that, he bowed elegantly and did not forget to smile gently at the dragon.
[Eclipse is not a baby…] – Eclipse muttered.
Luo Yan turned his head to him and smiled to stop him from saying more. Eclipse shrunk his neck, feeling that if he continued what he's saying, his master would definitely squeeze himself. Satisfied with Eclipse's reaction, Luo Yan turned back his attention to the dragon.
The dragon ended up staring at Luo Yan's face again. An obvious pink blush suddenly appeared on the black scales of his face. Then as if realizing that, he became annoyed and just snorted. "Hmp! I'll forgive him just this once."
Seeing the attitude of the dragon, Shen Ji Yun's hands suddenly felt itchy. He wanted to pick the dragon up and throw him somewhere. Preferably somewhere far away.
"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.
