Chapter 106
The cub’s home seemed to be in a lodging area in that direction. Xie Luan held the young dragon with a white bandage on the left dragon wing and walked in the direction the cub’s eyes were pointing.
Within ten minutes, Xie Luan saw a room that looked very ordinary.
Compared with other houses in this lodging area, it was much simpler in appearance. The door did not have the s.h.i.+ny decoration that conformed to the aesthetics of the dragon. Apart from the slightly old wall, it was more in line with Xie Luan’s thinking.
“Here?” Xie Luan lowered his head. The young dragon he was holding upright against his arms had a little body temperature, and the two front paws of this black dragon cub seemed to be particularly careful when hugging the little emerald gem tightly.
If it weren’t for the gem being so small, maybe this young dragon would also hug it in its hind legs.
Feeling the cub’s reaction where he obviously moved his body, Xie Luan confirmed his statement.
The door of the house was unlocked and could be opened directly. Xie Luan raised his hand and knocked on the house under the watchful eyes of the young dragon in his arms. At the door, a very old voice came from inside a few seconds later.
“Come in.”
Seeing the young dragon respond to this voice, the owner of this voice should be the cub’s family. Xie Luan reached out and turned the doork.n.o.b, holding the cub who was leaning against him comfortably and walked in.
As soon as he walked in, Xie Luan saw an old man.
When he was still outside, Xie Luan couldn’t feel the life response of a dragon which is much stronger than other races from this person with his mental power, but in fact the response was even weaker than the average person.
It was because he had reached a certain age, no matter how powerful individuals in each race were, their life span was still limited.
As soon as he entered the door and saw someone, Xie Luan felt the movement of the cub in his arms, so he took a few steps forward to gently put down the black young dragon he was holding.
“Oni.” Although it was a strange human who came in, this old dragon focused more on the young dragon whose left dragon wing was wrapped in a white bandage, and immediately called the young one’s name.
She was temporarily unable to fly but was also put down by the young man not far from the old man. This black dragon cub bit the little emerald gem with its mouth and walked towards the old dragon.
After approaching, the young dragon put down the little gem in front of the old dragon, made another move to press his body onto the gem, and then raised his head to make a sound to the old man.
“Hey.” The young dragon’s voice didn’t have any deterrent power, and it sounded immature and soft. After pressing the gem under him, the black dragon cub looked at the old dragon’s amber eyes with a faint light.
Adults of the same race could easily understand the information expressed by the cub’s cry. Modo looked down at the cub who was close to him, then looked up at the black-haired human standing not far away, and said: “Really, he gave it to you, and he helped you bandage the wound.”
The young dragon pressed the gemstone this time in response and shook its tail.
Usually there was no other cub willing to play with this young dragon. So, this black dragon cub went to places to play by herself. This time she flew to the beach and was accidentally scratched by the sharp rocks on her wings.
It was strange that there could be a sea on a floating island, in fact it could not be regarded as a real sea. The rocks all over this seaside were also of special material, said to be rocks, but their properties were closer to metal.
It was confirmed that the wound on the left dragon wing of the young dragon was not too problematic after having been bandaged. After receiving a clear response from the cub, Modo got up from the seat and approached the young man while leaning on his cane.
“Thank you for your help.” After saying this, Modo deliberately avoided the sight of the young dragon, put a bottle of ointment into the young man’s hand, and at the same time lowered his voice, “If there is any pain, use this it can alleviate some.”
Xie Luan received the bottle of ointment and was still stunned. He turned his head to look at the black dragon cub who was biting on the little gem and had begun to walk towards its room. He unconsciously squeezed his hand on the ointment a little bit tighter.
Oni?
It was a baby dragon with black dragon scales and the name was Oni. Although the eyes were not golden, from the previous two coincidences, this black dragon cub should be the one he met in the parallel world line.
He also realized that it would be a bit rude not to respond. Xie Luan suppressed the surprise and astonishment in his heart, nodded towards the person in front of him who was obviously apologetic, and then said: “It was not intentional.”
Now Xie Luan was thankful that the portable treatment device in his s.p.a.ce b.u.t.ton had no energy. Ravi from the other world had told him that the physical attributes of this black dragon repelled the beam of the treatment device.
If he didn’t know that, he would have used the treatment equipment on the young dragon to treat the wound on the dragon’s wing, and it might have caused secondary damage.
Of course, Xie Luan’s friendly att.i.tude had gained a lot of favor from the old dragon. It was getting late. When Xie Luan said he was going to find a hotel to stay, he was invited to stay with them.
Xie Luan agreed without hesitation, mainly because after he knew that the black dragon cub was Oni, he was more worried about the young dragon, and wanted to confirm the status of the young dragon.
This old dragon named Modo was Oni’s grandfather by relation. After the young dragon bit the gem and walked into her room, Xie Luan talked to Modo in the living room, and now he roughly knew about the condition of this black dragon.
The cub’s parents were gone, Modo had been taking care of it since the birth of the cub.
It was true that the young dragon could not control its own power, and the dark attribute power that it unconsciously emitted would attack people around it indiscriminately. Therefore, this black dragon baby was now more than three years old but had not stayed in any cub nursing branch.
The dark attribute was a mutated ability, and the life energy of others was consumed by its attack, so even some adults were reluctant to approach this black dragon cub.
The layout of the house was very simple. The old man told Xie Luan that he could move around in the house at will. After talking with the other party, Xie Luan approached the room where the black dragon cub had just walked into.
The door of the room was open. Xie Luan stood by the door and did not enter, he stayed at the door and looked inside.
The black dragon cub who entered the room was now near her bed. There was an open small treasure chest beside the cub’s bed. Xie Luan watched the black dragon cub biting the emerald gem he had given and putting it in the small treasure chest.
After putting it in, the black dragon cub fluttered around this little treasure chest with dragon wings as if very happy.
After waiting for a while, Xie Luan watched the young dragon nest into the bed. In order not to press the wound, when it lay down, she put the wounded left dragon wing wrapped in a bandage slightly aside.
The cub was probably also tired. Xie Luan stood by the door and looked at it for a while. When he felt that the black dragon cub was asleep, he lightly stepped closer.
The small treasure chest beside the bed was still open, so thought that he should go over and help the cub close the treasure chest.
With this thought, Xie Luan approached, and when Xie Luan approached the bed, he lowered his head and saw that the little treasure chest was empty, and only contained the emerald gem he had given him.
Startled slightly, Xie Luan bent down and touched the dragon wing of the black dragon cub who was asleep, and then gently closed the small treasure chest next to it.
This cub did not have a club to live in, and it was impossible for the old dragon to take care of it all the time. When Modo was gone, what would this cub do?
In the parallel world line, maybe this black dragon cub later lived by herself. In this world, Xie Luan certainly didn’t want this to happen.
Xie Luan had the idea of letting this black dragon cub live in the Yunbao Branch, but this cub’s unstable strength was indeed a problem that must be solved.
Before there was a solution, Xie Luan was thinking that till the wound on the cub’s dragon wing was completely healed, his journey back to Gaia star had to be delayed.
Living in the guest room that night, Xie Luan still had some pain on his finger. Knox, who was resting on his left shoulder, jumped onto his leg. Xie Luan immediately felt a moist and soft touch from his fingers.
It was kind of itchy.
Getting his fingers licked by the soft tongue, Xie Luan couldn’t help but move his hands because of the slightly itchy sensation. At this time, his hand was held by the nox, who had returned to his adult form without warning.
The fingertip was licked and then inserted into the mouth till the knuckle, while the finger clearly touched the wet tongue, Xie Luan watched the scene of the nox licking his finger, and the heat on his face rose a few degrees.
He reflexively wanted to withdraw his hand, but of course he couldn’t move his hand as it was held by the nox.
Before being attacked by the power, Xie Luan calmed Ya Yi with his eyes to keep the nox from moving. Now he couldn’t stop the nox from licking him to heal his wounds.
Each finger was licked carefully, and Ya Yi did this with a cold expression, but Xie Luan had an even more unspeakable feeling.
Xie Luan offered to help take care of the injured cub. His kind att.i.tude made Modo agree to this matter.
In the past few days, Xie Luan changed the medicine to the injured black dragon cub several times, as the treatment equipment could not be used. Modo always had ointment to treat trauma in the house.
The recovery ability of the dragon’s body was quite excellent, and only a few days later, the wound on the dragon wing of this black dragon cub had almost healed.
The black baby dragon flew in front of Xie Luan with its wings spread wide. Xie Luan stretched out his hands to the young dragon, and the young black dragon landed in his palm.
Looking at the young man with its vertical amber pupil, the black dragon cub moved its dragon wings and laid down on Xie Luan’s hand very intimately.
The young dragon could fly now, and after a day or two, the bandage on the dragon’s wings would be removed and there will be no need to tie it up again.
“Oni will not hurt if she flies like this?” Xie Luan took the black dragon cub into his arms, put his hand on the dragon wing of the young dragon, and gently touched it.
“Hey.”
The cub let the young man touch its dragon wing without resisting. The black dragon cub issued a clear response. The vertical pupils that had been watching the young man’s face basically showed that the young dragon liked the young man in front of him.
Dragons liked to keep watching what they like, just like dragons liked to guard their treasures, and keeping watching someone was the same.
Xie Luan didn’t know this racial trait, but the old dragon next to him knew and he could see that the cub in the family liked this human very much.
Speaking of this young man, besides him, he was the first person to give this cub a gem.
Since the wound on the wing of the black dragon cub was almost healed, Xie Luan didn’t see the cub in the house after getting up for a few days. When he saw the cub, it was usually noon.
“Where does Oni go in the morning?” Because the old man told Xie Luan not to worry, Xie Luan couldn’t restrict the cub’s outing, but this young dragon has gotten his body dirty these days. So, Xie Luan couldn’t help asking.
Rubbing the black dragon cub’s body, Xie Luan saw a beautiful stone bitten by the young dragon in its mouth. After wiping the body and putting the cub down, Xie Luan watched the black dragon cub move its dragon wing to respond, and then bite the small stone and walk into its room.
Xie Luan followed and stood at the door again. He watched the black dragon cub put the beautiful stone she held into the small treasure chest, and she was also very happy to flop around the small treasure chest for a while.
To Xie Luan’s surprise, he found that the little emerald gem he had given was placed outside by the cub alone.
Don’t you like this gem, Xie Luan thought in his heart.
Compared with the empty treasure chest at the beginning, Xie Luan could see that the little treasure chest contained more things than before, and it should have been picked up by this cub in the past few days.
This situation continued for several days. Xie Luan saw that the little treasure chest was finally full, thinking that the baby dragon should be happy.
Xie Luan walked back to the living room from the door of the room, only to see the black dragon cub pus.h.i.+ng out the small treasure chest from the room. It became a little heavier because it was loaded with a lot of things, and the young dragon was still pus.h.i.+ng hard.
Pus.h.i.+ng all the way, Xie Luan couldn’t help but be stunned as he watched the black dragon cub push the little treasure chest in front of him.
This young dragon kept filling the small treasure chest with beautiful things these days. Some were gems and some were beautiful but not very valuable stones. Pus.h.i.+ng this small treasure chest to the young man, the black dragon cub threw its dragon wings around Xie Luan.
“Hey–“
The cub was not looking at these beautiful things with vertical amber pupils, but at the young man in front of him. Among these two things, this black dragon cub naturally chose to look at the one she liked more.
