Chapter 129: Feeding Dragons and Pigs

"Carefully recall the procedure I just walked you through!"

Awu couldn't help but call out instructions.

Baimu didn't disappoint him either. Just as the single-headed dragon began to charge about wildly, he closed the distance in a single stride and stopped it, then very naturally offered his elbow.

However, this single-headed dragon didn't, like its brothers and sisters, naturally bite down on the bracer. Instead, it nimbly swung its slender neck and bit his palm in one snap.

Clack!

A crisp sound came from the palm.

Baimu stared into the single-headed dragon's eyes, which were completely hidden by its bangs, and neither side made a sound. They stayed silent.

"Holy—! Let go! Quick, rub its chin and make it let go!" Awu was startled by the clacking sound, afraid the single-headed dragon would gnaw his whole hand off, and hurried over.

Little did he know Baimu raised his free hand, signaling him not to come closer.

Then.

Baimu began gently scratching the single-headed dragon's chin, his movements incomparably tender. "Good~ good~ don't be nervous, let go of my hand, good~"

"Moo~"

The single-headed dragon let out an indistinct muffled growl and slowly opened its mouth.

He took the chance to pull his hand back.

"Are you okay!"

Awu asked, a little nervous.

"I'm fine, it didn't use any force. The sound just now was its teeth knocking against the metal plate on the edge of the bracer." Baimu held up his palm, which bore a ring of teeth marks, with translucent drool still clinging to it—proof that he wasn't lying.

Awu breathed a sigh of relief, then broke into a smile. "See, I told you you could do it. You really do have the innate talent of a dragon tamer."

"Is that so?"

Baimu's expression was slightly complicated. At first glance, it really did seem that way—

Clack!

The crisp sound rang out.

He turned his head a little stiffly and was shocked to see the single-headed dragon had, for some unknown reason, bitten his hand again—precisely on the palm once more. "Does this really count as success?"

"... Success, success. It just likes you and wants to get closer to you." Awu let out two awkward laughs.
