Chapter 30: The Secret That Cannot Be Told

~7 min read 1,349 words

Perhaps it was to express his sincerity.

When Zhang Yi was still more than ten meters away from the other party's territory, he took the initiative to stop his steps.

"Long Ge!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Do you want to come out and eat something together?"

"I have something delicious here!"

While saying this, Zhang Yi immediately and uncharacteristically generously took out the leftover mountain demon meat he had eaten earlier.

In order to attract the other party's attention.

He went to extreme lengths, directly channeling the Three Thousand Flame Fire to start roasting the meat on the spot right in front of the Quetzalcoatlus.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Before long, the mountain demon leg in front of Zhang Yi began to hiss and drip oil as it roasted.

Accompanied by a rich aroma of roasted meat rising into the air.

The Quetzalcoatlus cub, who originally had no intention of paying him any mind, finally could not suppress the curiosity in its heart and twitched its tightly closed eyelids.

"What is that, so fragrant?"

Seeing that this little fellow had taken the bait.

Zhang Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and threw the mountain demon leg, roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, directly to the other party.

"Here, fresh mountain demon meat!"

"Have a taste!"

The reason Zhang Yi was so generous in giving the other party food was mainly because he had already determined in his heart that from now on, this guy would be his personal aircraft.

Since it was his own property, he couldn't just make the horse run without feeding it!

Although he felt a bit reluctant, Zhang Yi knew deep down the principle that one must lose a minnow to catch a whale.

Don't look at it as him losing a mountain demon leg now; what he was getting in exchange was a big guy capable of carrying his family of four to soar through the skies.

Calculating it this way, Zhang Yi felt that this deal was definitely a sure win.

As for why Zhang Yi was so certain in his heart that this guy would take the bait.

The reason was simple: the system had previously rewarded him with two items specifically for controlling Demon Beasts.

Once his gourmet food failed to move the other party, he could completely resort to using the items to restrain it.

However, in Zhang Yi's mind, the value of these items was still very important.

Therefore, adhering to the philosophy of making the best use of everything, he still thought in his heart that if he could trick it, he would, and if he couldn't, it wouldn't be too late to use force.

The Quetzalcoatlus cub opposite him did not know what kind of devious scheme Zhang Yi was hatching.

Ever since Zhang Yi threw the sizzling mountain demon leg in front of it, the entire dragon had become a bit unsettled.

You must know, although it was not yet an adult, it had at least lived for several hundred years.

Over these many years, although it had eaten plenty of raw meat, this was the first time it had seen raw meat that smelled this fragrant.

To say it wasn't tempted would be absolutely impossible!

At this moment, it couldn't care about its image anymore and took a huge bite right at the fattest part of the mountain demon leg.

Seeing that the other party had already started eating his food.

Zhang Yi took the opportunity to continue his "trickery" mode.

"Long Ge, eat slowly, eat slowly!"

"No rush, I have plenty more of this; if it's not enough, I'll just roast more for you."

While he was speaking, his restless bird claws had already begun to tentatively move slowly toward the interior of the Quetzalcoatlus's territory.

At first, it was just a tentative small step.

Seeing that the guy opposite didn't seem to have any reaction, he followed up with another step.

Still no reaction.

It seemed this guy didn't mind him walking into its territory.

Since that was the case, Zhang Yi simply gathered his courage and continued to venture deeper.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

The distance between Zhang Yi and the Quetzalcoatlus cub was getting closer and closer, and his actions were becoming more and more brazen.

Before long, he had arrived directly in front of the other party.

Only then did the Quetzalcoatlus cub, which had been fully focused on the mountain demon leg, notice.

This guy had already arrived by its side.

Perhaps hindered by the fact that it had just eaten Zhang Yi's food, even though the other party was now right beside it, it didn't find it easy to just drive him away.

It was likely that this guy understood the saying: "Eat someone's food, and you'll be soft-spoken; take someone's gifts, and you'll be weak-handed."

Although it didn't mind Zhang Yi being close, out of instinctive caution, the Quetzalcoatlus cub still raised its head and looked at Zhang Yi with heavy wariness.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, we've never met before, right?"

"Tell me, what are you here for?"

Seeing that the other party's wariness had not yet completely relaxed, Zhang Yi didn't mind at all.

The next second, he directly revealed a charming smile that he thought was full of sincerity.

"What am I here for?"

"Nothing at all; I just admire your great reputation, Long Ge, so I specially prepared some small gifts for our meeting."

"Nothing else, just to admire your magnificent appearance and handsome heroic bearing, Long Ge..."

This time, Zhang Yi used almost all the flattery-related vocabulary he had accumulated from his previous life as a human, not caring if it was appropriate or if the other party could understand; as long as he could think of it, he piled it all onto the guy in front of him.

Zhang Yi was speaking quite animatedly over here.

The Quetzalcoatlus, however, suddenly interrupted, "Wait!"

Hearing the other party say that, Zhang Yi could not help but feel a tightening in his heart.

What was going on?

Could it be that he had said something wrong, or had he revealed some flaw that the other party had noticed?

He was currently reflecting on himself in his heart.

The next second, the Quetzalcoatlus suddenly flapped its wings excitedly a few times.

"You... what did you just call me?"

"Long Ge!"

Since he did not know what the other party meant by this, Zhang Yi could only respond truthfully.

"Long Ge! Long Ge!"

"Someone actually called me brother!"

"Ga ga ga!"

At this moment, the Quetzalcoatlus, which had previously appeared unapproachable, was suddenly as excited as a child who had received a beloved toy.

It seemed this fellow was very satisfied with this form of address from Zhang Yi.

To be honest, this fellow Zhang Yi had stumbled into this by accident.

One must know that as a dragon-kin, the lifespan of this Quetzalcoatlus was inherently longer than that of ordinary Demon Beasts.

Don't look at the fact that this fellow before him was already several hundred years old; among their kind, it was at best just a little brother among little brothers who had only been born a short while ago.

In the clan, basically anyone you picked out was at least a thousand-year-old existence.

Like this little fellow, having lived for several hundred years, it had never experienced the feeling of being a "brother."

Now, a fellow had suddenly popped up and called it "brother" the moment it opened its mouth, so how could the little fellow not be excited?

It was just that this fellow did not know that, given its current age, let alone being a brother to Zhang Yi, who had only been born for a few months.

It would not be an exaggeration even if Zhang Yi called it an ancestor.

Of course, Zhang Yi reckoned he would never tell this fellow this secret in his entire life, unless one day it truly could no longer be hidden.
