My front door leads to a comic strip

"This…"

Gu Yuan's hand instinctively rested on the hilt of the sword. With a click, he was about to draw the sword, but he stopped abruptly.

He noticed that the dragon seemed to have just been born, and hadn't even finished eating the eggshell on its body.

"Another cub? It's so tall... about the same size as the previous one."

Gu Yuan squinted slightly as he examined him.

At the same time, he quickly raised his hand and pressed down on Miliald's wrist, stopping her from casting a spell.

"Don't rush."

He quickly glanced around and explained in a calm tone,

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last one in the vicinity."

"While I understand your desire to kill any monster you see, it is, after all, a dragon."

Actually, Gu Yuan had longed to ride a dragon for a long time, especially after Milield recounted her experience of riding a dragon...

If he hadn't been a dragon instead of a yu (a type of mythical beast), he wouldn't have had to endure this long.

Because riding a dragon can save a lot of time compared to riding a horse to reach the central continent.

"Chirp chirp."

The red mirror dragon cub tilted its head, and although it did not understand Gu Yuan's words, it still followed its instincts and took two steps forward.

It nibbled on the white eggshell while gazing at the two with its deep red eyes, filled with curiosity about humans and elves.

Millie Alder frowned and quickly scanned the area, her tone tinged with disbelief:

"Gu Yuan, are you serious about saying that?"

This was the first time she had ever seen such a brave human.

Ordinary people would want to kill monsters when they see them, but actually, some people want to tame them...

Although she did ride a dragon back then, due to the nature of the monster, it tried to eat her after landing, but she killed it in self-defense...

Just as I was about to explain the whole story and give Gu Yuan a heads-up, something happened...

Millie Alde's mouth stopped abruptly, her eyes widened slightly, and she froze on the spot.

"What... what's going on?"

The bloodthirsty red mirror dragon in her eyes, upon approaching Gu Yuan, not only refrained from attacking but also affectionately nuzzled against her with its head…

Everything seemed like a serene and beautiful painting, quite different from the habits of the monsters she knew.

This shouldn't be the case.

"Monsters are creatures driven purely by instinct, only knowing how to satisfy their own appetites."

"Even cubs will hunt relentlessly once they smell the scent of magic, how come...?"

She seemed to be seeing a hallucination, but then she remembered something crucial—Gu Yuan had no magic at all.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his mouth opened uncontrollably in shock.

"Is this correct?"

That's right.

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, reached out and stroked the tender dragon's head, as if talking to thin air:

"You remembered?"

He lowered his head, his voice steady, "Otherwise, why do you think I would have such a thought?"

"I am not food to monsters, so I can rightfully ignore all the threats they pose."

"Except for those that are born with a deep malice towards humans, I will coexist peacefully with them."

Despite the apparent peaceful coexistence, they could still threaten those around him, which was why he attacked the two red mirror dragons.

However, there was one thing that Gu Yuan couldn't understand: he had killed its father...

Okay, maybe it's the mother. She's covered in blood, so why are they still so close?

As Gu Yuan spoke these words to himself, Milie Alde let out a long breath.

With a hint of existential doubt, she spoke helplessly:

"The concept of kinship among monsters is very weak. The reason they are so close to you is probably because they smell the food aroma emanating from you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan suddenly realized what was going on and took out a smoked beef jerky from his person.

He opened the packaging, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

As he waved the beef jerky in front of the young dragon, the dragon's gaze followed, its eyes filled with eagerness, and Gu Yuan laughed again.

Indeed, it is the primal appetite that is most likely to trigger instincts.

"While magic is essential for monsters, the occasional 'junk food' should also lift their spirits..."

"They can't distinguish between good and bad food, but they can judge by smell."

"Yeah, as expected of animals, their underlying logic is still about being fed."

Gu Yuan nodded, his eyes showing understanding, and he roughly understood why the Red Mirror Dragon could be tempted.

And, they know that this operation can also be replicated on other carnivorous monsters.

However, there are more important things to be addressed right now.

"Miliarde".

Gu Yuan slowly stood up, straightened his back, and threw the beef jerky forward.

He watched as the young dragon turned and ran off with light steps to pick up the beef jerky, then turned and asked:

"Do you understand what I'm thinking now? I have a question: at their growth rate, how many days will it take them to grow to full size?"

"Given their current size, is it possible for the two of us to move forward together?"

Miliald's gaze followed the baby dragon's movements.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied, "It's possible, but are you going to waste half a year here?"

"Six months?"

Gu Yuan shook his head decisively, "Then forget it. It's not too late to let it grow while we're doing this. Anyway, I have enough food on me."

"tread."

Just then, the Red Mirror Dragon happily ran back, its mouth full of food.

It jerked its head around, tossing the beef into the air, then tilted its head back and swallowed it in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately strode forward, and Millie Alde hesitated for a moment before following suit.

However, as soon as they got close, they noticed the Red Mirror Dragon's slightly burning, greedy gaze.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Gu Yuan immediately raised his hand and patted its head, his eyes serious, signaling it to behave.

"Aww."

The young dragon cried out in pain. Driven by its biological instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, it immediately lowered its head, its gaze becoming fearful, and dared not look directly at the two of them again.

Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, flipped himself onto the dragon's back, and stretched out his hand towards Miliald:

"Come on, get on. By the way, can you hold it with an iron rein?"

Even though it's just a temporary mount, it's still not good if it hurts someone.

With my current strength, I can easily make one by hand, saving me the trouble of running back and forth.

Of course, the situation is different if it is a large dragon.

Millie Alde reached out and grasped Gu Yuan's hand; the warm touch filled her with a sense of acceptance and relief.

She flipped over and sat steadily behind Gu Yuan, suggesting:

"You can give it a try; after all, it's only just been born."

The dragon's power is evident here; even when it is newly born, its physical attributes allow it to easily defeat ordinary wild beasts.

But to say that one can break free from the iron reins is still a bit of a pipe dream.

Gu Yuan nodded knowingly.

After confirming that both of them had successfully mounted the dragon's back and were able to move freely, they turned over and stepped onto the ground to begin tidying up the various items in the dragon's nest.

Gold coins, silver coins, magical artifacts…

There are also some magical items, which, although rare, are quite valuable.
