Originally I planned to bring the beast-eared girls here to train them, but an extra dragon showed up, so we'll have to stall for a period of time.
Lin Feng glanced at Red Scale.
She was sitting on a tree stump, wholeheartedly picking at the scabbed wounds.
"Don't keep scratching at it, just let it naturally fall off when it's ready."
Although he knew such small injuries wouldn't kill her, Lin Feng still wanted to nag at her out of habit.
At first Red Scale didn't know Lin Feng was talking to her, until she raised her head and met his gaze.
She was quite obedient, truly stopping the motion of her hands, no longer picking at it.
"Come over here." Lin Feng crooked his finger, and Red Scale came bouncing over.
When this girl ran, her bunny ears shook and jiggled...
Since he didn't bring any clothes she could wear, Lin Feng simply poked a hole in a large pad, draping it over her shoulders so her head and wings could stick out.
When they returned he'd have to arrange proper clothes for her, her figure was too good, just wearing a pad could easily let one's mind wander.
"Do you still remember things from before?"
Red Scale shook her head. After tilting her head and thinking for a bit she replied: "I was sleeping before, then I woke up and fought with the blue-eyed person... I was very big before, then became small, then went back to sleep..."
Listening to her speak gave Lin Feng a headache.
But all in all, she had only gained wisdom for less than ten days, being able to speak to this degree was already very good.
"What you mean to say is, you only remember always being in slumber before, then suddenly waking and fighting with the silver-haired woman next to you, then inexplicably becoming smaller, then fainting, right?"
Red Scale nodded heavily.
That was just right.
She didn't remember anything, so he could start deceiving her.
"Do you remember me?"
Red Scale blanked out for a moment, then stared into Lin Feng's eyes and sized him up.
After not long she shook her head.
Lin Feng prepared himself for a bit.
Words so shameless, even for him, could not easily come out of his mouth.
"Then that's right, actually I'm your husband. You were gravely injured and lost your memory."
Rosa Linda was eavesdropping on their conversation nearby.
Hearing this she really could not stand it anymore, and kicked Lin Feng's butt as she walked by.
And Red Scale still asked in confusion: "What... thing is called husband? It should be boss."
"You forgot everything, I won't explain for now. You'll naturally understand later. I'm both your boss and your husband."
He'd slowly take care of her first. As she grew up, she'd slowly know the meaning of this term.
By then she'd have a sudden realization.
With the previous setup, things would naturally be more convenient later on.
"In short, it means we have a great relationship, better than you could imagine."
Red Scale tilted her head.
She didn't quite understand.
Right then, a miserable shriek came from the side.
Lin Feng looked over to see they had already lit a bonfire, and the fish was being grilled.
"Oh geez, eating fish again, nothing but fish every meal." Emily hugged herself in despair, gazing at the oily fish sizzling over the flames without any appetite at all. Then she silently took out her remaining rations, "Why don't... Mom and I go dig for wild vegetables, I can't take nothing but fish every day."
"What every day? It's only been one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... days," Lin Feng counted off on his fingers.
It did seem to be quite a few days.
When they first arrived on the island, there were still a few rabbits they could eat.
But now the rabbits were all gone. Around them, the only food was basically the fish from the lake.
Occasionally Rosa Linda could still shoot some birds down from the trees, but they didn't taste that great.
"Why don't we go pick some mushrooms? I see a lot of mushrooms on this island, we can go gather some," Rosa Linda tugged on the fur on her bunny ears, and secretly glanced at Lin Feng, "You should come with me, the others can stay here."
Lin Feng understood her intentions. He voluntarily stood up.
He knew in his heart, after all it had been a long time, things were getting pent up...
Just when Rosa Linda thought she could succeed, the fun wrecker Emily suddenly bounced up, "I wanna go too!"
"No way, you have to stay here and keep Yuna company, it's not safe for her to be alone, especially with a dragon here." Rosa Linda glanced at Red Scale. This girl was squatting by the bonfire, wholeheartedly staring at the grilling fish.
"It's fine, I can handle myself," Yuna grabbed the horn on Red Scale's head and gently shook it.
Red Scale timidly glanced at her.
Not knowing why, this dragon always acted coldly towards Emily and Rosa Linda.
Only facing Yuna would she be especially obedient and timid.
Perhaps the memory of Yuna wielding a giant sword to attack her butt in the labyrinth still remained deeply imprinted.
Red Scale scooted over, grabbing Lin Feng's pant leg while sneakily peering at Yuna's expression, and mumbling: "Want to... stay with boss, don't want to be left here..."
"Why are you trying to butt in? Go away!" It took Lin Feng quite some effort to drive her off.
But he couldn't shake off the leech Emily no matter what, and in the end still brought her along to gather mushrooms.
Rosa Linda's face remained black the entire time.
The originally planned private time for two had been ruined just like that.
It was also difficult for her, after all since they came out she had been holding it in...
When they returned after picking mushrooms, Lin Feng inadvertently glanced at Red Scale. Her head was lowered, with several complete fish skeletons beside her.
She didn't seem happy at all, in fact looking extremely sad instead.
"What's wrong, Yuna were you bullying her? Not letting her eat fish?"
When Red Scale ate fish she never spit out the bones, being able to see skeletons meant it should be what Yuna ate.
"Nope, I just said I wanted to eat so took some myself. She didn't take a single one, so I finished them all," Yuna replied innocently.
Lin Feng sighed lightly.
Take some herself? As if she'd dare.
She was still afraid of getting her butt smashed.
But this was also good. Yuna acted fierce, so he could act nice.
"Come over, this bad woman didn't let you eat. Husband will feed you!"
Yuna: ???
Upon hearing the word "eat", Red Scale came bouncing over.
She watched Lin Feng expectantly, gently fluttering her still unhealed wings.
If only she knew this girl would become his exclusive mount, he wouldn't have gone overboard with her back then.
Though it seemed Red Scale still didn't know her wings got broken how.
After the fish finished grilling, Red Scale immediately started gnawing away.
Lin Feng took the chance to rub her head.
At first she felt a bit uncomfortable, dodging left and right, simply refusing to let her head be touched.
But later she got used to it. And with guaranteed meat, she got too lazy to dodge anymore.
Red Scale's hair was very coarse, unlike the softness of the beast-girls'.
And for some reason, her skin was a bit icy, far less warm compared to Emily's.
But even so, the texture still felt pretty nice.
Lin Feng became interested in the horns on her head.
That pair of horns looked quite sturdy, and the shape was suitable for gripping. Grabbing her from behind by the horns...
Mm, not bad, very secure.
"Boss... what are you doing?"
Lin Feng's eyes shifted around as he casually made up some nonsense: "I was just marveling at how beautiful your horns are. Let me get a closer look at your dragon's tail too!"
Rosa Linda couldn't stand to listen anymore, furrowing her brows.
"Okay." Red Scale nodded her head.
