Novel Full Chapter 281 - MAYBE HE'S YOUR FATHER
ECLIPSE'S big sapphire eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Then he jumped to Luo Yan's arms and cried. [M-Mashter… hic… that d-dragon is b-bullying Eclipse… hic… you must seek justice for Eclipse!]
Although Luo Yan found what happened just now very amusing, he even took a snapshot of it, he still patted Eclipse's head gently. [There, there, don't cry.]
The dragon looked at the people around him. His eyes suddenly widened into saucers, as if he couldn't believe that the people around him were bigger than him. Then as if realizing that something must be wrong, he looked down at his own body. What he saw made his eyes widened even more.
Then he raised his little head and looked angrily at the people around him. If a glare could kill, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun would probably keel over by now. "What have you done to this king?!"
As he said that, sparks of blue flame came out of his mouth. But because of his current small body, it didn't have much power and wasn't even that threatening. Which seemed to annoy him even further. Making his glare even fiercer.
Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun took noticed when the dragon called himself 'this king'. That already said something about this dragon's identity.
But Luo Yan was much more surprised hearing the dragon speak. He thought that he would be just like Eclipse who could only speak mentally. This was probably the difference between a Legendary race and a beast that was under the Rare category. A Void Kitsune was considered as super super rare. But it was still a bit inferior in comparison to a beast belonging to the Legendary race.
"You're badly wounded and too weak. You couldn't support your original form and turned into this. It's not our fault that you have this form now. We even fed you a high-grade potion to help you heal your wounds. Frankly speaking, you shouldn't really take this tone on us right now," Shen Ji Yun said with a straight face. His tone was so mechanical, like a robot, as if he's reading from a script or something.
This almost made Luo Yan laughed. Seriously, Shen Ji Yun could really be so amusing at times. With what he said, he pushed all the blame to the dragon. Since the dragon was really not in his right mind while rampaging earlier, he probably wouldn't be able to tell what Shen Ji Yun did. This way, he wouldn't blame them for his current state. Thus, making it easier for them to build trust with each other. After all, it would be easier to do this task if the dragon trusted them.
The dragon seemed to not accept what he heard just now. Or more accurately, he probably hated to be associated with the word 'weak'. He still hadn't put his guard down. He looked like a hedgehog. His body full of thorns, as if he would pierce anyone that would try to touch him.
"Why is this king wounded? Did you harm this king?"
[Stupid! You're already wounded when we came here! Don't blame us! Captain was even kind enough to heal you. Is that how you thank your savior? You ungrateful lizard!]
Luo Yan coughed to stifle his laughter. Really, this guy could say the most interesting thing. When he looked at the dragon and saw that the black scales on his face was almost dyed red, Luo Yan was sure that he heard what Eclipse said just now.
"Who are you calling a lizard, you damn kitsune?! How dare you insult this king?" the dragon shouted, his mouth spewing blue flames again.
Shen Ji Yun looked at Luo Yan questioningly, silently asking what the dragon meant just now. So, Luo Yan moved closer to him and whispered, "Eclipse called him 'stupid' and 'lizard' just now."
Shen Ji Yun's ear turned a bit itchy when he felt Luo Yan's breath. The tip of his ear quickly turned red. He shook his head and focused on what Luo Yan said just now.
He looked down at the fox in Luo Yan's arms. Such colorful insults. The he glanced at the small dragon whose face was full of animated expression. It seemed like the programming department really managed to make a lot of improvements during this last update. Making these NPCs a lot more sentient. Which he wasn't really sure if it could be considered as good or bad.
[How come he could hear you?] – Luo Yan asked Eclipse, a bit confused.
[Eclipse isn't sure.] Eclipse raised his head. [Mashter, would this dragon eat Eclipse because he called him a lizard?]
Luo Yan flicked Eclipse's forehead gently. [Now you know how to be afraid?]
Eclipse shook his head. [Eclipse is not afraid. Eclipse has Mashter. Mashter will surely protect Eclipse.]
[You sweet mouth.]
[But Mashter, how can that dragon understand Eclipse?]
Luo Yan thought of the fact that he found Eclipse here in this cave together with the sleeping dragon. Could there be any connection that might be connected to the task? [Maybe he's really your father.] – he joked, teasing Eclipse.
Eclipse shuddered. [Mashter, please don't say something so scary!]
Luo Yan chuckled. [Didn't you say earlier that he might be your father?]
[Eclipse take that all back!]
"What are you rambling about, kitsune?" the dragon shouted again. "Your voice is giving this king a headache!"
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. By what the dragon said, it seemed like he could only hear Eclipse's thoughts but not his.
[Eclipse is not talking to you, so don't talk to Eclipse!] – Eclipse shouted back but immediately buried his face on Luo Yan's neck.
Luo Yan was amused by his little pet's action. So, he gently patted his back before giving him to his favorite Captain. "Brother Ji Yun, could you hold him for a bit?"
Shen Ji Yun didn't have any opinion and just held Eclipse in his arms. Which the other seemed to really enjoy.
Then Luo Yan walked towards the dragon and knelt in front of him. The dragon raised his head and looked suspiciously at Luo Yan. But when he stared at Luo Yan's face, his expression turned dazzled. As if being captivated by Luo Yan's beauty. Especially once Luo Yan smiled at him. Realizing his gaffe, the dragon became even more angry.
"You- you elf! Why are you seducing this king?!"
