Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better! - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Dragon Heart Fruit Farm
After they finishes catching up, the three draconic ladies decided to let go of their liege now, with this young man, their beloved, having announced to them that he’s going to improve some of things in this not so little home of theirs, his words making them wonder what is it that he is going to introduce and probably even change now.

‘Any structures that I can unlock now?’ as he navigates through the available purchasable items he can place in the main island of the Draconic Realm, Diluc asks towards the Dragon Herding System, which yields a disappointing news that is still worth looking forward to given that he will still eventually reach this requirement that the Dragon Herding System requires, and in a time quite possibly even faster than he first speculated.

[Structures are only available once you reached the third realm (Either the Yellow Core for mage or Blood Vessel Widening for martial artist or both]

After reading this, the emperor-like young man starts getting even more motivated to reach that level, but he decided not to rush it too much as rushing his improvements will only bring detrimental effects to him, and he is well aware of that fact.

As he reaches the section of the shop for the farms, he finally finds what he is looking for, making him smile as he checks the information of this farm once again, something that he only dreams of creating a few days ago when he has yet to loot, ahem… to receive the riches from that fat merchant’s caravan.

‘Come to think of it, it really works to my favor that I sold it all to the system since there might be things that can connect me to the disappearance of that caravan if I sell those things outside’ Diluc thought to himself as he imagines the consequences of this happening, something that he really doesn’t want to think about nor that he has the need to given how traceless he manages to sell off the wealth contained from the entirety of this caravan.

After thinking of this, he returns his attention to the farm he intends to buy, a farm that made even the dragonesses eyes glow in excitement as they also read its description on the floating gray screen.

[Dragon Heart Fruit Farm (5,000 Realm Gold)]

[Description: Finish constructing within fifteen minutes and ready for harvest every twenty minutes, yielding 2~4 Dragon Heart Fruits per harvest. Requires watering twice a day. Feeding this to an adolescent stage dragon every day will allow subtle improvement to their bloodline constantly, along with an increased rate of growth, regeneration and healing, in addition to it being a satisfying delicacy enough to fill an adolescent dragon for the day with just a single fruit.]

[Note: Be careful when feeding to younger dragons as it might cause them to experience indigestion due to the potency of the fruit]

Once he confirms that he can pretty much switch up from feeding the dragon ladies with the previous Magic Fruit to this Dragon Heart Fruit given that it is quite affordable to him now, not to mention that this thing produces quite a lot of fruit in just a short period of time, Diluc then decided to unhesitatingly click on the purchase button right underneath the description of this farm.

Just like how it works on the Magic Fruit Farm, an arial display of the entire floating island appears on the screen, now surprising not him but the three draconic beauties who had yet to see it in action instead, on it a semi-transparent image of the farm hovering over the land, waiting for him to arrange where it is supposed to be placed for now.

After deciding that he should just place it right beside the Magic Fruit Farm for the sake of convenience, as well as due to the fact that he can still move it anywhere in the main island later anyway, Diluc then places it right beside the old farm, the familiar thick veil of magical fog that seems to conceal how this farm is being created appearing to veil their senses from the place once again, the dragonesses looking at it curiously and poking around it, with Seraphina even trying to run towards it to try and find out what is happening inside, only for her to phase out and just appear on the other side of where she made contact with this veil of fog.

Within just five minutes of the ladies playing around this veil of fog that they find interesting due to its space shifting property, the construction of the Dragon Heart Farm is finally done, the veil of fog finally being lifted away from the space it occupies and revealing the plants inside, similarly being a vine just like that Magic Fruit, however appearing to be completely different, the first and foremost observable one being the extremely thick vines that it even appears that it is strangling the pole it is climbing on, not to mention the scaly texture of this vine making all four people observing it think that the dragon in its name isn’t just for grandeur or anything.

This is not the most dragon-like thing on this new farm though as they finally realize the true reason why this plant is called like that, with its fruit being quite massive, and heart-shaped, probably also the reason why it is called the Dragon Heart Fruit, its shape and size making them realize that if the vines is any thinner than that, this fruit might just not be able to support itself and just fall off into the ground.

This is only the physical trait of the fruit though, and what finally nails the coffin that this is truly deserving of the name is the massive, rich and pure amount of mana radiating from the insides of the fruit, this mana signature producing a powerful beating at a consistent rate that made it all the more heart-like, just the quality and quantity of the mana in the unripe fruit alone making the draconic beauties cute little mouths open with their drool flowing out of it, and even their liege is not spared, having repeatedly gulping air just to calm himself down.

“I want to eat one” being so shocked from the quality of the fruit, Seraphina drops all sorts of pretense that she has and speaks to them in a very rare normal dialect rather than her usual peculiar ones.

“Liege, how long?” meanwhile, even the usual shy and taciturn Argenta couldn’t help but look towards her beloved liege with excitement in her normally emotionless eyes, showing just how much of a goodie she thinks this Dragon Heart Fruit is.

What makes Diluc thought that this fruit is really the real deal is how Yggdrasil acts, the usually patient and mature, green-haired alluring beauty just barely composing herself the moment he laid his eyes on her, the drool on the corner of her crimson red sexy lips not even being wiped as it appears like she is not even aware that she is drooling when she looks at the Dragon Heart Fruit previously.

“Ygg…” signaling something towards the mature beauty as he points towards he corner of his own mouth, the emperor-like young man calls to her prompting her to look at him with the focus returning in her eyes, yet the moment that she saw the signal from this beloved liege of hers, she just couldn’t help but start panicking once again as she felt the slightly wet sensation from the corner of her mouth all the way down her chin, making her painfully aware of what just happened.

Violently wiping the drool away from her gorgeous face, Yggdrasil turns away from Diluc in a final attempt of keeping some of her dignity intact, something that at the very least, she managed to do for her reputation on the two younger draconic beauties eyes, but not on her dear liege’s eyes.

“I’I… there’s a good explanation for this…” the neon green-haired draconic beauty starts defending herself even without the emperor-like young man saying something, her eyes swirling in some sort of a combination between embarrassment and panic as she speaks in a slurred and incoherent way, making her liege snicker due to how she acts.

“What explanation? What do you need to explain Ygg? I don’t see anything…” seeing that she won’t be able to return to herself properly if he doesn’t step in, Diluc then said, his words reaching her ears and offering her comfort from the embarrassment, unhesitatingly accepting his words despite her fully knowing that he truly saw the expression on her face previously.

“T-then there’s no need to worry about this, H-husband” she said with a still shy expression on her melodious voice, her head slightly tilting down with her eyes still looking at him, her face containing a slight, wry smile that made her look all the more adorable rather than her usual mature allure.
