It wasn't a big deal that it was a little dark. The key was that this dragon steed was as fat as a pig. Other dragon steeds slept while standing up, just like normal horses. Charcoal was the only exception, and actually slept while lying down.
What made people even more speechless was that Charcoal was very lazy. Once other dragon steeds started galloping, they would be as fast as lightning. Only Charcoal would forever be lazy, slow and unhurried. His speed was no different from a normal horse's, so it was useless to hit him.
Charcoal was one of the dragon steeds that the Transient Light Cave's Cave Master had gathered ten years ago. His companions had all been taken away by cultivators, but this fellow was truly outrageous. Riding it was worse than riding a normal horse. Could this still be considered a dragon steed?
None of the cultivators took a liking to it. They all stayed far away from it, afraid that it would be forced into their hands.
Lazy people had their blessings, and so did the Lazy Dragon Colt. Its companions had changed batch after batch, and many of them had died in battle with their masters. This fellow was the only one that had survived because everyone looked down on it. It had managed to survive one calamity after another and survived until now.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps it was because Charcoal and Yan Xiu's personalities were a little similar, but Luo Zhen had actually taken care of Charcoal until now. Otherwise, even if it was to save food or to save trouble, she would have long abandoned it.
Therefore, Charcoal and Luo Zhen's relationship was very intimate. When it saw Luo Zhen enter Hidden Dragon Valley, it immediately let out a long neigh and crawled up from the ground. It swayed its plump body closer to Luo Zhen and rubbed its head.
"This …" Miao Yi looked at the other dragon steeds, who were brimming with vigor and vigor, and then looked at Charcoal's' majestic 'body. If he wasn't careful, he might even mistake it for a gigantic wild boar. He couldn't help smiling stiffly and said, "It really is quite unique."
He didn't know what to say. This dragon steed had completely overturned his impression of dragon steeds. It was indeed a little fat. But then again, if it wasn't special, it probably wouldn't have fallen into his hands.
Luo Zhen was a little uncertain, so she probed, "No one wants it, it was originally an extra. If you want it, you don't need the Cave Master's permission."
"In any case, I don't have a mount. It's better than nothing." Miao Yi smiled.
"It also has a disadvantage." Luo Zhen seemed to be a little embarrassed for Charcoal. "I'm sure you know that dragon steeds are omnivores."
Miao Yi nodded. "I know."
Luo Zhen felt a little guilty and said, "Charcoal only eats meat, not vegetables."
"That's easy." Miao Yi smiled, "If I remember correctly, the food for these dragon steeds was delivered by the people of Fu Guang City, right?"
"Yes." Luo Zhen couldn't help but shake her head. She didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Charcoal only eats fish and shrimps. It doesn't eat chicken or duck on land. The fresher the fish and shrimps are, the better it likes them."
Miao Yi stared at Charcoal speechlessly. 'You already look like this, what right do you have to be so picky about food?'
"You don't have to force yourself if you don't like it. You have a good relationship with Cao Dingfeng, so he will definitely help you find a dragon steed if he has the chance. It's just that I've taken care of it for so many years, and I've developed some feelings for it. Now that you've taken over as the Horse Deputy, I hope you can take care of it as well. "
"No problem, leave it to me … Can I try it?"
Miao Yi pointed at Charcoal, wanting to ride it to get a feel of it.
Of course he could. If he couldn't even ride it, then wouldn't giving Charcoal to Miao Yi be a joke?
"Charcoal!" Luo Zhen patted its body.
Normally, as long as its master was still alive, a dragon steed wouldn't recognize a second master, unless the master was dead. This was because this kind of spiritual beast could sense whether its master was dead or alive, so it usually wouldn't let anyone other than its master ride it.
However, Charcoal was very docile. It seemed to be just a little unwilling, but since Luo Zhen had spoken, it could only turn its body to make it easier for Miao Yi to get on.
Without another word, Miao Yi flipped himself onto the horse.
Two fleshy feelers extended out from Charcoal's glossy black mane along its neck. They stuck close to its body and stuck onto Miao Yi's thigh.
Miao Yi immediately felt Charcoal's lazy emotions transmitted from its feelers. It seemed to be asking him where to go?
Miao Yi found it refreshing. So he could really communicate with a dragon steed like this, and he didn't even need to use the reins. It saved him a lot of trouble. He raised his head and looked outside the Hidden Dragon Valley.
Charcoal understood and immediately moved its four limbs. Its hooves, which were as big as clay pots, landed on the ground. It had quite an imposing manner, but its speed wasn't flattering. It was a little lazy.
It wasn't even as fast as a normal horse. Miao Yi immediately urged it to go faster.
However, it was useless even if he urged it. It was only at this speed. Ride it if you like.
After struggling for a long time, Miao Yi's face turned gloomy. He realized that Luo Zhen was speaking up for Charcoal. How could this speed be comparable to a normal horse? It even skidded while climbing a hill …
Miao Yi finally understood why no one wanted this beast. It was too f * cking beastly. It didn't even have the slightest awareness of being a dragon steed. It was practically a freeloader. Freeloading was fine, but it was also f * cking picky.
After a stroll, Miao Yi came down and gave Luo Zhen a fake smile. "Not bad … It's not like it doesn't have any good points. Its fat body shakes when it runs. It doesn't hurt your butt at all when sitting." He reluctantly found a good point for Charcoal to give Luo Zhen some face.
'Brother Miao is so kind.' Luo Zhen blushed on the spot. She kicked Charcoal twice. "Disappointing thing!"
In the end, Charcoal still faintly revealed a very innocent look. It snuggled up to Luo Zhen and whimpered.
Miao Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes. This beast was actually quite understanding …
He could tell that Luo Zhen and Charcoal's relationship was indeed deep. Later, he personally prepared a sumptuous feast of good wine and dishes, and once again asked Miao Yi to bear with Charcoal.
"Pfft …" Yan Xiu spat out a mouthful of wine on the spot. He glared at his wife and asked, "You gave Charcoal that you don't even want to ride to Brother Miao?"
Luo Zhen's face darkened. "Even wine can't shut your mouth?"
"Haha …" Yan Xiu couldn't hold it in any longer. He hugged his stomach on the spot and laughed until his body convulsed. He could imagine Miao Yi's reaction after riding Charcoal.
Luo Zhen immediately rushed up and grabbed her man and twisted him violently. "No matter how useless he is, he's still more useful than a good-for-nothing like you …"
Days passed by. Miao Yi lived a peaceful life in Transient Light Cave. All he needed to do was cultivate and herd dragon steeds. With Cao Dingfeng's protection, no one would do anything to him. On the contrary, Yan Xiu and his wife continued to be ordered around to do odd jobs. Luo Zhen, who had been angered and came back, immediately scolded Yan Xiu for being a good-for-nothing.
Cao Dingfeng would occasionally come to visit him. In addition to Yan Xiu and his wife, other than these three people, the entire Transient Light Cave seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person in the cave.
Ever since he'd first joined Transient Light Cave and met the Cave Master Yuan Zhengkun, Miao Yi had never seen him again. He heard that he was in closed-door cultivation.
In addition to the few others who were in closed-door cultivation, Miao Yi didn't even recognize all of his colleagues in the cave. The others would only meet him when they rode their dragon steeds out. If there were any serious matters in the cave, they wouldn't usually call for him. They probably thought that his cultivation was too low to be of any use. If they wanted to order him around to do odd jobs, then with Cao Dingfeng's protection, it wouldn't be good to not give Cao Dingfeng face.
Miao Yi had a feeling that he'd been forgotten by others. He continued to cultivate, continue to herd dragon steeds, and walk Charcoal, who was like a fat pig.
