Chapter 30 Please don't have another episode!
Before Harley could express her opinion, Flower Cat jumped out, raising its hands, feet, and tail in protest.
"You've already struggled to raise me, and you want to raise it too?"
Its strong tone, resolute attitude, and powerful words made its fat tremble.
The two humans and the dragon were all drawn to the jiggling fat on its belly. It was clearly an Palico, but instead of a cat, it resembled a buffalo.
Seeing that this reason was not convincing, Hua Miao immediately collapsed to the ground, sobbing and wiping away her tears.
"When you took me away from Granny Cat, you called me 'Sweetie,' but now that the new one is better than the old, you complain that I'm a fat cat. Chen Yan, have you lost your conscience...?"
Seeing that Hua Miao was getting genuinely upset, Chen Yan quickly comforted and explained.
"It certainly can't compare to you. You're my dearest partner. We swore an oath under the moon, not that we were born on the same day, month, and year, but that we would marry on the same day, month, and year..."
"What I mean is to leave this little guy at the camp until we find that careless black horned dragon lady. After all, he just hatched and has no ability to survive."
Harley breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was thinking about how to remind you that keeping monsters is against the Hunter's Guild's ironclad rules, especially if they're just temporarily kept at the camp..."
Looking at the drowsy little horned dragon in Chen Yan's palm, its adorable appearance finally made her nod with great difficulty.
"It's possible, but you have to agree to two conditions."
She held up two fingers.
"First, if we haven't found the Black Horned Dragon before we return to Star Base, then we'll have no choice but to leave it to fend for itself."
"Secondly, we absolutely cannot tell anyone about this, especially Naomi. If she finds out, she'll definitely spank all of us, plus Flower Cat's, until our butts are swollen."
Chen Yan readily agreed.
At the same time, a bubble suddenly appeared in his mind, its color rapidly changing from white to blue, and then quickly from blue to light blue. Just as Chen Yan's heartbeat slowed down, the bubble's color finally stopped changing.
It is a pale blue that is almost white.
"They've arrived!"
[A baby dinosaur issues a quest: I need to find my mom!]
[The baby horned dinosaur is looking for its mother. Is Chen Yan its mother? Is Hua Miao its mother? Is Harley its mother?]
[Compensation for the commission: Super hearing/All-rounder/Super strength/Regional intimidation]
"As expected of a map-king level monster, even the rewards from its cubs are better than those worthless minnows!"
Chen Yan almost drooled when he saw the reward.
He's currently dressed in tattered white mission rewards, and the only thing he seems to have that's a headbutt is. The rest are either auxiliary abilities like a keen sense of smell, a big stomach, a long tongue, or strong lungs.
Even if Nergigante did issue a mission when he was intercepting Zorah Magdaros, the difficulty of the mission would probably be beyond imagination. With these abilities, it would be almost impossible for him to complete Nergigante's mission.
However, as long as the reward he receives this time is not the ability to hear the wind or the power to intimidate, either the Trinity King or the Mighty Giant can quickly boost his combat power.
He made a simple guess: the Trinity King should refer to Diablos's tail whip, charge, and slam, while Megaloceros should refer to Diablos's brute and domineering strength.
This is the skill that can truly deal with Nergigante!
"good!"
Chen Yan picked up the baby horned dragon and stood up, startling the dragon, which had been almost asleep in his palm, back to life.
"The first step in raising a dragon: it's getting late, time to wash up and go to bed!"
The cat jumped out again, raising its hands, feet, and tail in protest.
"You haven't had dinner yet, why are you sleeping!"
Early in the morning, when it was still dark, Chen Yan was awakened by the little horned dragon's whimpering.
Its little head burrowed and nuzzled against Chen Yan's chest, making soft, whimpering noises. He knew the little guy was hungry, so he groggily picked up the half-eaten eggshell it had left over from last night, broke off a piece, and fed it to the little guy.
Who would have thought that the little horned dinosaur, who was happily eating the eggshell yesterday, would be so uncooperative today? With a clumsy dragon-like ramming motion, it knocked the eggshell away, stumbled and fell on its bottom, groaning even louder.
Now the cat that had been sleeping there and Harley, who was sleeping next to Chen Yan, also woke up.
The two people and the cat looked at each other, wondering what to feed the whimpering, crying little horned dinosaur.
The cat vaguely remembered how Grandma Cat fed them.
"Chen Yan, I think it's time for it to drink its milk?"
Flower Cat pried open the little horned dragon's mouth, traced around its still-growing teeth, and boldly offered suggestions following the steps for feeding Palico cubs.
Chen Yan, who was feeling dizzy from the noise of the little horned dragon, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He then handed the little horned dragon to Harley, who was also looking bewildered.
"Harley, this is all your responsibility. Quickly feed it some..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the face.
Harley, her face contorted with shame and anger, grabbed Chen Yan by the neck, nearly choking him to death.
Chen Yan then handed the baby horned dragon to Hua Miao.
"Flower Cat, I heard that both male and female Felynes have quite a few of these. Try squeezing them and see if you can squeeze out a cup or two..."
Before he could finish speaking, he received another claw strike on the face from the cat. The cat parted its belly fur, almost standing on Chen Yan's face, and angrily pointed it at him.
"Look closely, this is a decoration. Do you even know what a decoration is?"
Seeing the chaos inside the tent, Harley lost her temper and kicked Chen Yan and Hua Miao out.
"I don't think both of your brains combined are as big as its. Go find the fairy deer! There are so many doe feeding their calves, didn't you see them?"
Chen Yan and Hua Miao suddenly realized what was going on and rushed out eagerly.
After another round of fuss, they finally managed to get a whole big bowl full. The starving little horned dragon looked at the milky white ocean and jumped in with a "roar," drinking and swimming happily.
The tiny creature gulped down its drinks for half a day, actually finishing the entire large bowl. However, it was probably too full, as it slumped back to the tent, clutching its big belly, and soon curled up in a corner and fell asleep again.
The cat patted its paws contentedly, but accidentally touched the hoof print on its face left by the elf deer, making it wince in pain.
"I wasn't wrong, was I? I told you that feeding horned dragons and feeding us Palicoes isn't much different."
Harley made a gesture, and after she zipped up the tent, the three of them quietly left the camp.
Judging from the mess at the camp entrance and the few male elf deer lingering nearby, it's clear that Flower Cat didn't get kicked for nothing.
"Alright, let's hurry. Diablos are very territorial, and there can only be one Diablos in a given area. If we want to find the Black Diablos, we'll probably have to fly deeper into the desert."
She whistled, summoning the pterosaur, but before boarding the "airplane," she suddenly grabbed Chen Yan's hand.
"Monsters like the Mudfish Dragon and the Sand Dragon only dare to roam the edges of the wasteland. Who knows what kind of demons and monsters are lurking deep in the desert? Chen Yan, I'm begging you, can you guarantee you won't have a relapse this time?"
The cat quietly placed its paws on it.
Faced with the humble and pleading gazes of the person and the cat begging for mercy, Chen Yan felt a chill run down his spine. What else could he do but agree?
