Red Scale

Lin Feng crouched in front of the Dragon Girl, secretly observing her.

He wondered in his heart, shouldn't she have woken up after sleeping all afternoon?

Picking up a nearby branch, he poked it for a while, and finally, she showed some movement as her fingers twitched slightly.

She's alive!

The Dragon Girl slowly opened her eyes, appearing somewhat dazed. Her arms were covered in blood, and she struggled to support herself.

She glanced at Lin Feng briefly, revealing her silver fangs, and emitted a chilling growl from her throat.

This...

Apart from looking like a human, everything else about her is completely monstrous. She looks like she wants to bite anyone she sees.

[Sorry, host, I only changed your appearance, not your essence.]

[I am currently granting intelligence to the current monster...]

After a while, the expression of this red dragon subtly changed.

Though still baring her teeth, her eyes occasionally wandered.

She was observing her surroundings.

[Come on, host, deceive her while she still doesn't understand anything. It's best to fool her.]

Deceive her?

Lin Feng didn't agree with that word at all.

He was protecting the Dragon Girl.

"Be good, stay here quietly, don't move..."

Lin Feng was like a strange uncle coaxing a little girl.

Suddenly, the Dragon Girl reached out and tried to give Lin Feng a punch, but he immediately caught her hand.

Seeing how weak her strength was, she quickly retracted her hand and then lowered her head, lost in thought about her own body.

Lin Feng looked at her with interest. "What's the matter? You still want to fight with all these injuries?"

Seeing that her attack was ineffective, the Dragon Girl hurriedly turned and ran.

Yuna chased after her as soon as she saw the prey escaping.

Just as they ran a few steps out, Lin Feng grabbed the Dragon Girl by the tail. "No need to chase, there's water all around, where else can she run?"

The two followed silently behind the Dragon Girl, watching her exhaust herself bit by bit.

In the end, her running slowed down, and she stumbled over a stone by the shore.

"Can't run anymore?"

The Dragon Girl let out a low growl, trying to scare him away.

But the result was being forcefully captured by Lin Feng and tied to a tree.

Because her wings were injured, this process made her in agonizing pain.

In the evening, Lin Feng and his group roasted rabbit meat at the campsite, making the Dragon Girl drool as she watched.

But even so, her fighting spirit remained unbroken. Whenever someone approached, she immediately bared her teeth.

Time was abundant, and Lin Feng didn't mind spending it with her.

This little creature was particularly fierce when full of energy.

When she was hungry, she became obedient.

Playing games with a few beast-eared girls, or catching a few fish in the lake, time quickly passed by.

The Dragon Girl only needed some water occasionally, starving for the time being.

On the third day, when Lin Feng heard the Dragon Girl's stomach growling, he knew it was almost time.

He held a roasted fish and intentionally waved it in front of the Dragon Girl.

Seeing her eyes fixed on the roasted fish, Lin Feng mischievously teased her.

"Do you want to eat?"

Although her mouth was watering, the Dragon Girl stubbornly turned her head.

"Forget it, Yuna, you eat!"

Yuna had an enormous appetite, and a mere fish was quickly devoured in a few bites.

She threw the fish bones into the bonfire and glanced at the Dragon Girl, then asked in confusion, "She hasn't eaten anything for three days. Won't she starve to death?"

"People can survive for seven days without eating. She's still hungry, isn't she strong enough with those bared teeth?" Lin Feng deliberately raised his voice.

He had asked the system, and the dragon couldn't speak yet, but listening to people was definitely not a problem.

As expected.

As soon as these words came out, she immediately stopped being fierce and instead put on a sickly appearance.

But Lin Feng wasn't falling for it and instead taught her a lesson, leaving her hungry for another three days.

Seeing that she was truly weak and looking like she was about to die, he continued to pick up the roasted fish and dangle it in front of her.

The Dragon Girl stared fixedly at the delicious-smelling roasted fish, her eyes filled with longing.

After hesitating for a while, she finally squeezed out an indistinct voice from her throat, "Want... to... eat... want to eat... fish."

"Oh, look at that, you can speak?" Lin Feng teased.

The Dragon Girl nodded eagerly and repeated those few words.

"That's right, if you want something, you have to speak up." Lin Feng placed the roasted fish by her mouth and gently shook it.

It was obvious that this fellow was starving, as she stretched her neck and tried to bite the fish.

But Lin Feng was quick to retract his hand, and she ended up not biting anything.

"If you want to eat, then you have to listen to me."

"Listen... to... you," the Dragon Girl swallowed her saliva, her gaze fixed on the fish swaying back and forth. "I will listen!"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly; he got the answer he wanted.

Putting the fish near her mouth, the roasted fish was reduced to just the tail in an instant.

She didn't even spit out the fish bones and had only bitten off half of the skewer.

"Still... want... more..."

Lin Feng smirked.

He had caught quite a few fresh fish these past few days, just for this moment.

But he was afraid that she wouldn't listen afterwards, so he didn't feed her too much. After feeding her three fish repeatedly, Lin Feng refused her.

"We'll talk about it later."

However, the Dragon Girl obediently nodded, as if she didn't behave like a greedy wolf after getting full.

Since she had been well-behaved for a while, there was no need to tie her up anymore.

After all, even if she ran away, she wouldn't get far.

Lin Feng untied the rope and pretended to sit back and chat with the beast-eared girls, but he secretly observed her.

The Dragon Girl was still somewhat exhausted after being released.

She sat on the muddy ground, seeing that Lin Feng didn't seem to have any intention of killing her, and silently licked her wounds.

"Come here," Lin Feng beckoned with his finger.

The Dragon Girl was startled and accidentally bit her tongue.

But she was obedient and cautiously approached Lin Feng, finally standing three meters away from him.

The three beast-eared girls also looked at the Dragon Girl with interest.

They were also somewhat curious about taming dragons.

"Come a little closer, I won't eat you," Lin Feng revealed a smile that he believed to be friendly and amiable.

The Dragon Girl, sensing danger, started to run. But after a while, she came back, wagging her tail.

Hiding behind a tree, she peeked at Lin Feng with half of her head exposed.

Lin Feng pretended not to care and directly started roasting a fish.

By the time the fragrance wafted over, the Dragon Girl was already standing in front of the bonfire.

Her eyes were fixated on the fish, and her mouth was watering.

Although the system gave her intelligence, she still seemed a bit foolish.

It's just a fish, there are plenty around here.

Lin Feng generously handed her the grilled fish.

Dragon Girl didn't think much and immediately started devouring it.

After finishing, she didn't forget to lick her dirty fingers.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it delicious?"

She nodded.

"As long as you listen to me in the future, you'll have delicious meals every day."

Dragon Girl stared at Lin Feng for a while and silently nodded.

She had decided that he would be her long-term meal ticket.

Lin Feng rummaged in his bag for a while and pulled out something black and inconspicuous. "Open your mouth."

Dragon Girl's eyes brightened, thinking it was something delicious, and quickly opened her mouth.

After Lin Feng put the black ball into her mouth, she rolled it around with her long tongue and chewed a few times.

It tasted awful.

"Don't spit it out. Swallow it in one go. This is something for your treatment."

Dragon Girl furrowed her brow and forcefully swallowed it, then let out a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted.

"Let me give you a name."

"A name?" Dragon Girl looked at Lin Feng in a daze.

"Of course, since you're under my control, you're my precious treasure, so naturally, you should have an exclusive name." Lin Feng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

When this guy was in dragon form, his whole body was wrapped in red scales.

To give her a simple name, let's just call her Red Scale.

Under the gaze of Dragon Girl, Lin Feng slowly spoke, "From now on, your name is Red Scale."
