Taming out of fear

After landing in front of Lin Fan in a dogeza, the little dragon started saying in a tearful voice, "Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I'll do whatever you want, please don't kill me!"

"Eh?" That was the only response that Lin Fan could give to this situation.

This was the dragon that had just been arrogantly stating that it would kill him, but now it was in a dogeza in front of him.

Even if Lin Fan had two brains, he wouldn't have been able to process what just happened.

But the facts were in front of him, so he couldn't avoid it.

As the little dragon laid there on the ground in front of him, he could feel the killing intent coming from Gramr. It was almost so strong that it moved Lin Fan's hand for him, but he was able to keep Gramr from slashing this little dragon.

As Lin Fan looked at Gramr, he suddenly remembered something about it.

In the description of Gramr on its status screen, it had been written that this was a sword that had been wielded by a hero that had been used to slay a dragon…Slay a dragon, that was most likely what the little dragon had sensed and that was why the little dragon had attacked him.

Gramr was a sword that was designed for killing dragons and even if it was sealed, the suppression that it had on dragons couldn't be hidden.

When Lin Fan looked at Gramr again, he found that it was completely different from before.

[Gramr] (Partially Sealed)

Grade: Mythic

A sword that was wielded by a legendary hero. It was famous for being used to slay a dragon.

Attack: 100 (Partially Sealed)

Why did Gramr suddenly become partially sealed instead of being fully sealed?

Lin Fan looked down at the little dragon on the ground before noticing the red spot on the ground.

The blood! The dragon blood!

That was what had done it!

It must also be the reason why Gramr had appeared on its own to attack the little dragon, it wanted the blood from the little dragon just so it could break its seal.

But there was no reason for it to kill the little dragon now since killing it wouldn't help Gramr at all.

When Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the "Partially Sealed" part on the status screen, he found that his Appraisal Eyes were able to get more information.

Partially Sealed: Elemental dragon blood (1/5). Missing elements: Fire, earth, wood, metal.

It seemed like what was required were the five Chinese elements and this little dragon had already fulfilled the water portion. So even if Gramr killed it and took more blood from it, it wouldn't have any use in breaking its seal at all.

Instead, Lin Fan had other plans for the little dragon.

When the little dragon had been in a dogeza position in front of Lin Fan, there was a notification that had appeared.

[Water Dragon (Youth) is filled with fear of you and reveres you. Affection has increased by 20.]

Lin Fan had thought that to tame a beast, he would have to increase their affection by doing kind things for them, so that was why he never thought that he would be able to tame beasts that easily. But now that didn't seem to be the case.

It seemed like inspiring fear in spirit beasts worked the same way as increasing affection when it came to taming them.

As long as the fear reached a certain point, it would mean that he would be able to tame them.

But when you looked at it from another angle, fear was just respect for a person's power, so it could be considered admiration to a certain extent.

Still, it wasn't good for Lin Fan to tame too many pets out of fear. However, to tame one or two with that method wasn't a bad choice.

Lin Fan looked down at the little dragon on the ground and he revealed a smile as he put Gramr right atop the little dragon's head, "Well, you did try to kill me…So isn't it fair that I do the same?"

The little dragon's body trembled when it heard this and it almost looked like it was going to wet itself, but it quickly gathered its senses and continued saying, "Please, I'll do whatever you want! Please don't kill me!"

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "I'm not really feeling any sincerity from your words, so how can I trust you?"

The little dragon broke out into tears when it heard this. It then said in a sobbing voice, "I promise you can trust me! I won't do anything bad! I'm a good dragon!"

The way it was talking was like a little child that was completely taken by fear, however, that was just what Lin Fan wanted to see as another notification appeared.

[Water Dragon (Youth) is filled with fear of you and reveres you. Affection has increased by 20.]

[Target for taming has been detected. Does the host wish to tame the Water Dragon (Youth)?]

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he saw this notification before saying in his mind, "Yes."

There was the same glow that appeared around the little dragon before quickly disappearing.

After the glow disappeared, the little dragon couldn't help feeling a bit closer towards Lin Fan even though it was still filled with fear.

Seeing that the little dragon's information had been registered in his list of tamed pets, Lin Fan lifted Gramr off of the little dragon's head. As he did so, he could feel the disappointed feeling from Gramr, but he chose to ignore it.

After all, he had tamed the little dragon already, so it wasn't good for him if he killed it.

Lin Fan opened up the status of the little dragon in his list of tamed pets.

A dragon of water that can tap into the very essence of elemental water energy. Regarded as the ruler of all water.

Lin Fan couldn't help being stunned when he saw the stats of the Water Dragon. Its stats were countless times higher than his own, but if it wasn't for the imbalanced stats, perhaps he might not have been able to win in the end.

Still, now that he had tamed it, he was happy that he had gained this monster.

But the important thing now was that he could see that the HP bar of the Water Dragon was slowly dropping. If he didn't treat its wounds soon, it really might die.

Lin Fan looked down at the Water Dragon and said, "Alright, enough kneeling. You can get up off the floor now."

The Water Dragon slowly stopped crying as it looked up at Lin Fan with a confused look, not understanding what was happening.

Lin Fan ignored this and said, "From now on, I am your master and you will follow me. If you do that, I will let you live."

If it was before, the Water Dragon wouldn't have accepted this because it still had the pride of a dragon. However, when it looked up at Lin Fan now, it wasn't really against this idea. There was even a part of it that wanted to address Lin Fan as "master", but of course, its pride wouldn't let it.

Still, it would do what it had to do to live, so the Water Dragon gave a nod and said, "Alright, I'll follow you from now on."

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "Good." Then he waved his hand for the Water Dragon to follow him as he opened the portal to the Pet Storage Space. At the same time, he also waved for Xiao Yue to follow him in, so she quickly came over.

The Water Dragon was hesitant at first when it saw the portal, but then seeing Lin Fan walk in without any hesitation, it had no choice but to follow Lin Fan. After all, if it were to try to run now, it would certainly be killed.

After walking through the portal, the Water Dragon was stunned by what it saw. Not just what it saw, it was also stunned by what it felt.

Lin Fan had been looking at the Water Dragon's status and seeing that its slowly dropping HP had stabilized, he knew that it was being healed by the Pet Storage Space.

However even though it had stabilized, that didn't mean that it was going back up. Or at least it wasn't healing that quickly.

It seemed like the wound that Gramr had affected on the Water Dragon had been quite deep. So deep that even the Pet Storage Space's healing powers weren't able to keep up.

Since that was the case, Lin Fan decided to treat it first.

After all, it was still a bleeding wound that hadn't been treated yet, so it wasn't strange that it was healing slowly. He was sure that once he cleaned it and wrapped it up, it would heal much faster than it currently was.

Lin Fan picked up some bandages before coming to the still stunned Water Dragon's side.

At the same time, he called out to the Snow Rabbit that also came over.

When the Water Dragon saw the Snow Rabbit, it revealed an even more stunned look as it blurted out, "Beautiful…"
