Dragon Tamer

 

The Nuwa Dragon extended her hand, which bore little difference from that of a young girl, with skin as fine and smooth as jade. Although you could see it was composed of patterned scales, her scales resembled amber, like crystal…

She took one, then imitated Zhu Minglang by holding it in her mouth.

The moment the candy entered her mouth, a look of joy appeared on the Nuwa Dragon’s face; she, who lived deep beneath the Veins of the Earth, had clearly never tasted anything like it before.

“Would you like more?” Zhu Minglang asked.

Seeing Zhu Minglang handing over the wrapper full of mints, the Nuwa Dragon did not hesitate and slowly took another.

She didn’t put it in her mouth immediately but waited until the flavor from the previous mint had faded, then she continued with a second one.

She glided away and circled the emerald divine pool, revealing her exquisite and graceful tail. Her supple, enchanting figure radiated a purity and innocence that made it impossible for anyone to harbor any blasphemous thoughts in their hearts.

Zhu Minglang smiled too, like a kind uncle, but slowly, very slowly, his eyes narrowed and the innocence in his gaze gradually vanished, replaced by…

It seemed the Nuwa Dragon grew tired from swimming; those two candies had made her completely let down her guard around Zhu Minglang. She laid her long body on a crystal rock not too far away, looking utterly sleepy.

Before long, the Nuwa Dragon really fell asleep—a picture of tranquil beauty. Even with a dragon’s lower body, she still seemed flawlessly perfect.

Seeing the Nuwa Dragon in deep slumber, Zhu Minglang’s smile became even more radiant.

Yet, this smile seemed utterly cunning in Mr. Jinli’s eyes!!

“Zhu Minglang, what have you done!” Mr. Jinli demanded, bulging his fish eyes.

“Didn’t you say she’s the Omen Beast of this world, a vision of which could bring one a heavenly fate? If I keep her by my side, won’t I become God’s Chosen Child?” Zhu Minglang asked with raised eyebrows.

“Good heavens, you’ll incur divine retribution for this. The Nuwa Dragon is to be admired from afar, not captured!!!” Mr. Jinli exclaimed in shock.

As the most emblematic Omen Beast of fortune and disaster in the world, if ordinary people chance upon its figure, they’d thank Old Heavenly Father and prostrate in gratitude. Zhu Minglang, you’re already lucky enough to see the true form of the Nuwa Dragon, and now you plan to abduct her!!

“You said it yourself—I’ve gathered all Seven Disaster Omen Beasts; it’s no different from courting disaster from heaven. And besides, you can’t say it like that; I feel like Old Heavenly Father just wants to trouble me. That’s why he arranged such a worldly-unaffected Nuwa Dragon before me, entrusting her into my care. Sigh, considering her graceful physique, remarkable appearance, and her dual rock and water attributes, I begrudgingly accept this gift. What’s the harm in adding another pair of chopsticks…” Zhu Minglang said earnestly.

“I always feel something’s not right,” Mr. Jinli said.

“First of all, I am a Dragon Shepherd. If I don’t harbor the desire to claim such a Rare World Dragon for myself, then I’m not a qualified Dragon Shepherd,” Zhu Minglang stated.

“There’s no issue with that sentiment, but isn’t the Nuwa Dragon too naive to be deceived?” Mr. Jinli remarked.

“It’s normal. Switch to a resourceful and intelligent Empress, who’s been solitary under the scar of the Veins for years, maybe decades; she would also become as innocent as a three-year-old child. I guess she too wants to see the world outside. Remember, even divine maidens coming to the mortal realm became attached to the wonders of humanity…” Zhu Minglang said.

“Zhu Minglang, I’ve realized something—whatever dragon recognizing techniques, whatever dragon taming skills, you might never master them in this lifetime. But this craft of dragon abduction, you have reached the pinnacle without any need for further practice!” Mr. Jinli announced.

This was indeed the rationale.

As a Dragon Shepherd, upon seeing such a mythical and extraordinary dragon, to not claim it would simply violate the ethical code of a Dragon Shepherd! ꭆ₳ɴՕ฿Ès̈

But even if one were to tame it, one should employ more conventional methods, such as persuasion through reason and touching emotions, eventually overcoming the dragon with strength. One has to follow the process. Zhu Minglang, however, snuck a drunken candy among the mints, getting the Nuwa Dragon intoxicated, then proceeded with the abduction—acting just like those most vile among humanity.

The question is, Zhu Minglang, a Dragon Shepherd, a regular man, what’s with carrying the same colored menthol and drunken candy with you? Why are your methods so skilled???

“Anyway, be careful. After all, she’s a Nuwa Dragon. Who knows what her cultivation base or realm is? In case she’s a super-realm female Dragon God, your intentions could get you crushed into dust!” Mr. Jinli still harbored a sense of awe.

Zhu Minglang was puzzled.

What kind of intentions did he have?

Isn’t it a perfectly normal thought?

Even when seeing a graceful lady, every gentleman finds her a suitable match, let alone a Dragon Shepherd seeing such a divine Nuwa Dragon; of course, he would be moved.

As for his dragon-taming methods, Zhu Minglang felt there was nothing wrong. He couldn’t just see her looking so cute and lovely and start by summoning a Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, that big demon, to bite her all over before asking if she surrenders, right?

That’s not classy!

Zhu Minglang approached and looked at the drunken Nuwa Dragon.

That drunken candy was just mixed with a bit of glutinous rice wine, which is particularly rich in flavor and something those who enjoy good drink but can’t get any use to satisfy their cravings.

This Nuwa Dragon, probably having never touched grains, got drunk the moment she touched the liquor, which did give Zhu Minglang a good opportunity.

Her forehead was very smooth, and her two deer-like dragon horns were bright, enhancing her immortal spirit temperament. Zhu Minglang gently placed his hand on her forehead as if it were the most ordinary show of concern.

Zhu Minglang wasn’t in a rush; he first tried to establish a Spirit Bond with the Nuwa Dragon.

Just like branding a Juvenile Spirit with a Spirit Bond, this kind of bond wasn’t about signing any Soul Contract but rather creating some communication on a higher level, a kind of resonance in the heart, like being able to vaguely sense each other’s emotions.

No rejection!

She must be feeling dizzy from the drink, because this gentle human was giving her more candy to eat.

Zhu Minglang could clearly feel the mark of the Spirit Bond being established and sense a pure and simple soul slowly walking into his heart, which was full of evil spider webs.

It seemed that the joy from the menthol candy still lingered in her heart, Zhu Minglang could feel her drunken happiness, and it seemed that she saw the Spirit Bond as a form of communication. On the basis of previous friendly interactions, she was still very willing to share her feelings.

Since she was still joyous, Zhu Minglang continued to deepen the bond.

Hey, why does the atmosphere feel so sleazy?

He’s a sacred and noble Dragon Shepherd, and it’s only right for him to subdue the rare dragons of the world.

Zhu Minglang began to try a Soul Contract.

Soon, Zhu Minglang felt a gentle touch like water. The Soul Contract effortlessly merged into the Nuwa Dragon’s soul, but at the same time, Zhu Minglang also felt a great wave of loneliness and sadness hit him, catching him off guard!

If the sweet joy from earlier was like a pool of clear green water, then the loneliness and sadness that now surged from the depths of her soul were like the boundless and vast Neon Sea!!!

What’s going on???
