Chapter 9 The Selfish Won't Share Food

Then the dragon mother took Neigher and Yane back to the wet cave.

Judging from the expression on the dragon mother's face, Neigher knew that she was in a bad mood. As soon as Yane landed on the ground, she crawled to a corner. Seeing the tears in her eyes, it seemed that she was about to cry.

"Loser." The dragon mother looked at Yane in the corner and mumbled.

Then she flew away. After a few minutes, she came back with a dead deer in her mouth. She took a bite and threw it in front of Neigher.

Neigher admitted that he was starving. The development of the red dragon's body and the supplement of magic power needed food. Because he had adapted to living meat these days, he immediately began to devour it.

Yane was hiding in the shadow. But she couldn't resist the aroma of the food and came over.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the shadow, a powerful red dragon tail slapped in front of her. The huge impact startled Yane again.

"What do you want to do? Do you think you are qualified to eat?" The dragon mother said, frowning.

Yane looked at her brother who was enjoying the delicious food and then looked at the dragon mother. Her eyes were full of grievance.

"I asked you to bite that giant's throat just now. And what did you do." The dragon mother said in a low voice with suppressed anger. "His throat is so big. I can't believe you missed it. Why are you so useless?"

"No, I didn't..." Yane explained in a low voice.

However, the dragon mother immediately shouted back, "Don't quibble. If you didn't miss, you didn't bite hard enough. Otherwise, how could you be knocked away?"

"He is strong..." Yane's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"That's not a reason. You have countless choices in the face of that kind of situation. Can't you dodge when he slapped you? Can't you bite his neck tightly? Can't you step back a little when you saw that he was about to wake up? Why did you just take the slap?" The dragon's mother's voice became louder and louder, and her huge body exuded an invisible pressure, which made Neigher, who was eating and watching aside, involuntarily lower the sound of eating, in case of being implicated.

Tears welled up in Yane's eyes and she felt wronged. At last, she felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears.

"I... I dare not..." Yane sobbed.

"Yes, it's because you dare not!" The dragon mother's tone didn't change at all. "Why are you still crying? It's useless to cry. You are not allowed to eat tonight. Neigher, eat that deer quickly. Don't let me see you give it to your sister."

Neigher nodded silently.

Feeling her hunger, Yane sobbed even louder.

Finishing her words, the dragon mother turned around and climbed onto her treasure heap. She rolled up her huge body, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

"I... I'm hungry..." Yane sobbed every word she said in the corner. What she was talking about can hardly be heard. These may be all her vocabulary. However, no matter what Yane said, the dragon mother just lay on her bed and didn't move.

Neigher recalled what had happened today in his mind. It was too dangerous today. If it weren't for the trump card left by his previous life, he would have been injured by the giant. According to the vague memory, he was afraid such a dangerous "training" was not rare. What he could do now was to grow up and prepare more trump cards to deal with the danger.

He looked at Yane and shook his head silently. The dragon mother was not taking care of the child at all, but training the killing machine. Could it be that all the mothers of the red dragon were like this? Was the childhood of the red dragon supposed to be so dangerous? Neigher couldn't find an answer in his memory.

At this time, Yane had given up begging the dragon mother. But she was still sobbing in a low voice. In the beginning, she had watched Neigher eat the deer meat. But now she curled up into a ball and buried her face in her wings, telling herself not to be tortured by the food she couldn't eat anymore.

Neigher still felt that the dragon mother was too strict with Yane. Yane was so small that she couldn't even bite through the giant's skin. Now, she needed more nutrition to grow up to be able to face the danger brought by her mother. However, the dragon mother didn't allow her to eat anything and wanted her to be strong.

But Neigher wouldn't give her anything to eat. If the dragon mother found out this that neither of them can eat. Besides, it's none of his business whether Yane lives or not. Food was a very important resource at this stage.

When Neigher decided to continue eating, Yane's wings suddenly twitched. It was not until then that Neigher realized that her wings seemed to be injured. How could she not be hurt since she had been slammed into the wall of the pit?

Neigher let out a sigh.

He looked at the position of the dragon mother. At this time, her breath gradually stabilized, as if she had fallen asleep.

"Ahem." Neigher cleared his throat.

Although he didn't know if dragons had such a habit, the voice still attracted Yane's attention. She raised her head and looked at her brother with her red eyes from crying. Neigher looked at the place where the dragon mother was sleeping. She didn't move at all. So he turned around and winked at Yane, pointing at the half-eaten deer in front of him.

Yane was stunned for a while before she finally understood what Neigher meant. But she also looked at the dragon mother and said in a low voice.

"But..."

"Quiet!"

Neigher signaled her to keep silent and cursed her in his heart. Fortunately, the dragon mother slept soundly and didn't notice it. It was not until then that Yane realized that she could have gone to eat something secretly. She wiped her tears and snot and quietly moved to Neigher's side. She ate the rest of the deer meat in a low voice and didn't care that the nasal mucus had been left in her mouth.

Looking at Yane who was eating, Neigher moved to another place and then slept behind Yane. His body could block the dragon mother's sight.

However, when he heard the sound of Yane's saliva and snot mixed, Neigher began to regret it. He felt his hungry stomach. And the dragon mother, who had just turned over, showed signs of waking up.

"Alas. Forget it. This little guy had better eat up before I completely regret it."

"In this way, I will pay off all my debts in the forest."

When Neigher was about to fall asleep, Yane suddenly crawled over and rubbed against him. Then he heard a crisp sound. The red dragon was very sensitive to this voice. It was the sound of the gold coin falling on the ground.

At this time, Yane slowly climbed over from the corner with a gold coin in her mouth. She put the gold coin in front of Neigher. Seeing that Neigher didn't respond, she used her head to put the gold coin under Neigher's nose.

"Aren't you a miser? Will you give me the gold coin? Is this the money for buying meat?" Neigher thought in his mind.

Neigher didn't want to owe her anything. But it suddenly occurred to him that this might be the first money in his red dragon treasure. This thought lingered in his mind and even made him a little excited.

This must be the influence of the red dragon's body on him. He had no choice but to take it as a reward for his hungry. And he looked at the serious look on Yane's face. It seemed that if he didn't take it, the little guy wouldn't feel at ease.

Neigher picked up the gold coin and put it in a small corner of the wall beside him.

This was his first fortune.
