Dragon lair
"Daddy! Quickly take a look, am I powerful or not!"
Gwendolyn ordered the gnolls to take all the spoils of war from Windchaser.
He placed them in front of Xi Mu and displayed them one by one.
They were all powerful wild beasts that were commonly seen in the wild, such as black bears and lizards.
"As expected of my Little Doreen.”
Xi Mu praised with a smile.
This time, he didn't say anything about teaching Little Doreen. He just kept praising her.
Sometimes, children only needed to be taught a few words. More often, they needed to be encouraged and praised. This way, the child would gain confidence in the process of growing up.
Hearing her father's praise, Gwendolyn rubbed her head shyly and wagged her tail proudly.
Then, he thought of something and quickly said,"Oh, right, Dad! I have to apologize to you ~"
"Apologize?"
Ximu asked in confusion.
"Yes, Dad, I didn't ask for your permission to go hunting with Chris and the others this time. It's my fault.”
"I forced Chris to take me hunting.”
Gwendolyn didn't expose Sylvia and shift the blame to Chris.
Instead, she blamed herself for the mistake.
Hearing Gwendolyn's words, Sylvia and Ximu looked at each other and smiled.
See, Gwendolyn was still very sensible.
Both sides had a tacit understanding not to tell Gwendolyn the truth.
"Little Doreen, I forgive you this time, but this kind of thing can't happen again, understand? You must discuss everything with me."
Xi Mu pretended to be dignified.
A faint dragon's might emanated from his body.
This made Gwendolyn feel immense pressure. Was this the aura and strength of his father?! It was really too powerful. Just this one move was enough to make him unable to stand up.
"I understand, Dad!"
Gwendolyn said.
" It's good that you understand. Go and rest. I heard from Chris that you've been hunting for an entire night. You've only rested for four hours so far. Rest more and recover your strength. Only then can you become stronger.”
Xi Mu urged with concern.
" Oh, okay, Daddy. Speaking of which, I'm a little sleepy again. Hehe, I'm going to sleep first."
Gwendolyn rubbed her sleepy eyes and waved her hand obediently.
He quickly ran out of the dragon's nest.
After Gwendolyn left, Ximu looked at Chris and said,""Tell me, Chris. Did you find anything during the hunt?”
" Praise be to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your intelligent eyes saw through the thoughts of a lowly wild dog like me at a glance, making me wish I could cut open my chest and offer you my blood-stained heart.”
Chris pretended to cover his chest, as if he was going to tear his chest apart.
But he wasn't stupid enough to do that.
"Very good, Chris. Open it up and let me see your heart.”
The corners of Xi Mu's mouth curled up slightly.
"Uh…Your Majesty, I do want to do this, but I want to do more for you before I die.”
Chris was stunned for a moment before he chuckled.
Why didn't His Majesty follow the rules this time?
He felt a little awkward.
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore, Chris. What's the matter?”
Ximu said angrily.
Chris really wanted to kick him.
"It's like this. This hunting operation was originally very normal, but we encountered some danger later and almost died there.”
Chris still had some lingering fear when he talked about it.
Princess Gwendolyn was still young, so it was normal for her to not know about danger.
However, as the leader of the gnolls, Chris knew how dangerous it was.
"Tell me."
Very quickly.
Chris told Westshepherd everything that happened during the hunt last night.
It turned out that their hunting team had encountered a group of manticore lions last night!
The manticore was a large group of chaotic and evil monsters.
Their bodies were considered huge among the monsters. They were at least five meters long. It was rumored that they had the bloodline of the dragon race, so they had a pair of dragon wings that could fly in the sky.
There were a total of twenty manticore lions in this group.
Although Chris led a hunting team of more than a hundred gnolls, they were not enough in front of these 20 manticore lions.
Putting aside the fact that the other party could fly, his strength alone was enough to crush the gnolls.
Even if Chris could block one or two of them after his ascension, what about the others?
The manticore lions in the sky naturally noticed their presence.
It fell from the sky and blocked their way.
Chris realized that the manticore's attention was all on Princess Gwendolyn.
He immediately remembered that this group of lions loved the smell of human flesh and blood.
He immediately knew that the other party had his eyes on Princess Gwendolyn.
Chris immediately led the gnolls to stand in front of the manticore.
They were already prepared to sacrifice themselves.
However, the manticore only took one more look at Princess Gwendolyn before its eyes revealed a look of panic and it flew away in a panic.
Chris didn't know what was going on. The only thing he knew was that their lives were saved.
Hence, he quickly stopped his hunting plan and brought Princess Gwendolyn back to the dragon's lair.
"Your Majesty, that's what happened. The only thing I don't understand is that the manticore lions only took a glance at Princess Gwendolyn before running away.”
Chris was puzzled.
"Little Doreen has my Red Dragon blood flowing through her veins. In addition, she has been with me for a long time, so she has a faint Red Dragon aura.”
"Manticore creatures are more afraid of dragons. After smelling the aura of dragons from Gwendolyn, they naturally left in panic.”
Ximu immediately guessed why the manticore had left so quickly.
The manticore was not very intelligent, but it could still speak the common language and had some intelligence.
Perhaps it was because they had the bloodline of the dragon race, but they were more afraid of dragons than other creatures.
No matter what he did, he would subconsciously avoid the dragon.
Wild manticores were rarely found in places where dragons had appeared.
Unless it was a manticore that had joined the dragon clan.
The other party must have smelled his scent on Gwendolyn and fled in fear.
"As expected of Your Majesty. Just the smell alone is enough to scare those lions.”
Chris grinned.
After all this time, it was the aura on Princess Gwendolyn's body that had saved the lives of the gnolls and the others.
"How did Gwendolyn react when she saw the lions?”
Xi Mu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Her Highness Gwendolyn was very calm and did not panic at all. However, she was also very smart and did not provoke the lions.”
Chris replied.
Perhaps from Gwendolyn's perspective, the lions were just ordinary beasts.
Therefore, when he was communicating with Xi Mu, he didn't mention anything about the manticore.
