The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Xie Sen and Maine picked up Long Teng at the spaceport, and the three of them soon returned to the building where they had stayed overnight. As soon as Long Teng got off the shuttle, anyone who saw him, their eyes subconsciously were drawn to him.

“Where’s the storm trooper from?”

“The military department has a new partner company?” The passers-by next door whispered and speculated.

Long Teng, unaware of how shiny he was, asked Xie Sen with a face full of excitement, “Where is the flying dragon beast? I’m going to find it!”

Xie Sen led him into the living room. “Don’t you want to eat first? You’re going to try to bond later, so you should be at your best.”

Long Teng smiled. “I ate on the airship. I’m in good shape now, and I’m super eager to see the flying dragon beast.”

Xie Sen laughed. “In that case, you come with me. They’re too big, so there is not enough space on the upper level. They’re in the basement.”

There was a mercenary guarding the entrance to the basement. Xie Sen was greeting him when a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from behind the door. The sound was so powerful that the ground shook.

Maine subconsciously covered Xie Sen’s ears. Xie Sen smiled at him, and indicated that he was fine.

Long Teng’s eyes lit up. “It senses me. Our synchronization rate must be very high, I can feel it!”

He reached for the door, but was stopped by the mercenary. Xie Sen nodded at the mercenary. “He’s our friend.”

The mercenary took a step to the side to make way.

The voice of the dragon beast behind the door changed from high pitched to low, and heavy with warning. This was the contract beast’s instinctive rejection of its master. The stronger the master, the stronger the rejection reaction.

Long Teng wasn’t nervous, just excitedly pushed open the basement door then scampered inside. “Wow! It looks even cooler up close!”

Xie Sen was following behind him. He was only one step into the basement, when he saw the flying dragon beast that had been lying on the ground suddenly and swiftly fly towards Long Teng. Xie Sen automatically shouted, “Little–”

Before the word ‘dragon’ could emerge, Long Teng was entangled with the whole of the flying dragon beast. The flying dragon beast’s big head was buried in Long Teng’s chest as it rubbed, and the low warning sound turned into a faster, lighter cry.

Long Teng opened his hands, and held its big head in his arms. He laughed out loud, and turned his head to look at Xie Sen. “A’Sen, it likes me a lot!”

Xie Sen looked at his shiny clothes and thought to himself, It’s not you it likes, it’s the shiny glitter on you!

He looked at Long Teng and the flying dragon beast’s intimate appearance with mixed feelings. He secretly thought that the flying dragon beast’s obsession with bright shiny things was really strong.

Not only could looking at Long Teng calm the mood swings brought about by the energy, but it could also restrain its emotions of rejection towards the beast master. It was definitely true love for Long Teng!

And while Long Teng looked silly dressed up like that, the effect was also amazingly useful.

Long Teng and the flying dragon beast hugged for a while. Each was busy giggling, so Xie Sen had remind them, “You should try bonding now!”

Long Teng, “Right.” He smiled at the flying dragon beast. “Make a contract with me. I’m very good.”

The flying dragon beast blinked. Its gaze reluctantly left the bright crystals on his clothes, then it let go of him, backed away and gave him a soft growl.
