However, Zhu Minglang had to resist the urge to use Ling Yue at this moment.
Xuan Long's affection level was far from enough. Right now, Xuan Long had only lowered its guard against him. That alone wasn't enough for it to accept his contract. Furthermore, Xuan Long's poison hadn't been cured yet, and this was the first time it was being fed by him. If he used Ling Yue in a hurry, he would only scare Xuan Long away.
Zhu Minglang took a deep breath and finally pulled his hand back.
It was just a casual touch. He didn't take action in the end …
"Have a bite of the herbs and a piece of beef." Zhu Minglang placed the Heart Cleansing Herb in front of Xuan Long.
Xuan Long was still reminiscing about the taste of the beef. It helplessly glanced at the antidote herb.
Xuan Long stretched out its head and swallowed the disgusting herbs with its eyes closed. After a while, it opened its eyes and stared at Zhu Minglang with its sparkling eyes, as if it was waiting for Zhu Minglang to magically produce the beef.
Zhu Minglang took out a piece of tender beef from his spatial bracelet and fed it to Xuan Long.
Xuan Long ate it in two bites and had to do it slowly. The four steps of biting, chewing, swallowing, and licking were all different kinds of enjoyment …
This feeling was completely different from the past. In the past, in order to avoid being ambushed while eating, Xuan Long had to wolf down his food and fill his stomach as quickly as possible. That feeling couldn't be compared to this.
Zhu Minglang purposely lengthened the time he spent with Xuan Long. This way, Xuan Long could familiarize himself with him faster and feel his goodwill.
Finally, Xuan Long finished eating all the herbs and beef. It raised its head to look at the sun and discovered that it had already set. The sky was so dark that it was possible to see the stars.
Xuan Long seemed to have realized something and hurriedly climbed up the mountain.
After climbing to the top, Xuan Long paused for a while. It looked down at Zhu Minglang as if it was waiting for Zhu Minglang to say something.
"I'll still be here tomorrow. Remember to come over." Zhu Minglang smiled and waved at Xuan Long.
After hearing this, Xuan Long spread his wings and flew in another direction.
Watching Xuan Long leave, Zhu Minglang still had a smile on his face.
Very good. It's going very well.
Today was the day that his favorability towards him increased greatly. The Mystic Dragon no longer rejected his touch.
"I'll continue to feed it tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll try to feed it something that can increase its cultivation. This way, it'll know that following me is beneficial to it!" Zhu Minglang began to plan carefully.
Zhu Minglang didn't feed all the beef to Xuan Long at once.
This was naturally a psychological trick. If Xuan Long was full in one go, it wouldn't miss him. At least, he wanted to let it remember the delicious food this evening when it was hungry.
Xuan Long's poisoning was quite serious. It needed a lot of Heart Cleansing Grass.
There was no Heart Cleansing Grass in this area. Zhu Minglang and Caiyou had to go to a more distant place. Fortunately, it rained not long ago, nourishing everything. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a plant like Heart Cleansing Grass that needed a special environment to grow.
… …
Time passed day by day.
It was already the tenth day since Zhu Minglang detoxified Xuan Long.
Xuan Long only had a little bit of toxicity left. Today, it would be completely restored if it was supplemented with some abrasives.
These days, Zhu Minglang prepared different kinds of Mythological Beast meat to feed Xuan Long. If the sun hadn't completely set, Xuan Long would even stay for a while.
Its favorability had greatly increased. Moreover, it also swallowed the Dragon Soul Pearl that Zhu Minglang prepared for it. Its cultivation suddenly increased by dozens of years.
"Follow me. You'll have a place to live and an endless supply of Mythological Beast meat. I can also help you pass through the growth stage quickly. I'll still be waiting for you here tomorrow evening. Let's go together?" Zhu Minglang stroked Xuan Long and said to Xuan Long.
Xuan Long's silvery-red eyes were like the ripples of a lake. It glanced at the little Bai Qi that was lying on Zhu Minglang's shoulder.
These days, Xuan Long not only saw the Fengyue Ying Chen White Dragon, but also the Yanwang Dragon, the Leigong Purple Dragon, the Tiansha Dragon, and the Smelting Black Dragon. They all surrounded Zhu Minglang. It also witnessed Zhu Minglang feeding the other dragons.
"Miao ~ ~ ~"
Xuan Long let out a flute-like cry. It probably understood Zhu Minglang's words.
It needed to go back and think about it.
It flapped its wings. After its body recovered, it displayed an even more astonishing flying speed. Moreover, Xuan Long's hooves were cloud hooves. It could step on clouds and wind. Even without wings, it could run in the air.
Not long after, Xuan Long disappeared into the dusk.
Zhu Minglang hesitated for a long time. In the end, he decided not to use the Dragon Binding Silk.
As a matter of fact, even though Xuan Long had recovered, it still yearned for its freedom. Even if it had to fight alone, it was still the way it had lived for the past ten to twenty thousand years. It was impossible for it to change in just half a month.
Therefore, Zhu Minglang had considered completing the final detoxification this evening. He had to keep it by his side no matter what.
However, Zhu Minglang gave up in the end.
He did not know why he did not force it. Sometimes, it was necessary to force it. Xuan Long was a rare dragon in the world. He did not know when he would meet another Xuan Long again in his lifetime. However, while he was hesitating, Zhu Minglang's heart softened …
Most importantly, if he used the Dragon Binding Divine Silk, then all his previous gentleness and friendliness would be wasted. Just as Mr. Koi had said, there were some dragons that couldn't be subdued by pure force. Even if he could defeat them, they would rather die than sign a spirit pact with them.
"My God, will it come tomorrow?" Caiyou asked worriedly.
"I don't know."
Zhu Minglang could only resign himself to fate. He was following his instincts.
For a dragon like Yama Dragon, if you could not subdue it with force, no matter how many delicacies you gave it, it would still arrogantly think that you were its servant, paying tribute to it.
However, Xuan Long was different. Zhu Minglang's instincts told him that Xuan Long already had a good impression of him. Most of the time, Zhu Minglang could see envy and yearning for Bai Qi in its eyes. Many dragons were lonely, but that did not mean they liked being alone …
… …
For some reason, the day was especially long.
From the time Zhu Minglang woke up to the time he finished taming the dragon, there was still a long time before evening.
Zhu Minglang started to sit on the broken wall. He looked at the vast and primitive beauty of the huge forest. His thoughts also drifted into the distance.
Before he knew it, the sun was about to set. An enchanting sunset glow spread across the horizon. The clouds were like mountains in the heavens, piling up high into the sky …
