Scarlett Jennings couldn’t understand how Samuel Chalmers suddenly decided he wanted to adopt a little Flood Dragon, but she still passed along the big guy’s decision to Dashiell.
Dashiell had been left in the rental apartment for three days, and from day one, he had been completely hooked on games, thanks to Lucas Jennings.
If Scarlett hadn’t shown up, he might have forgotten his true purpose for coming down the mountain.
But that didn’t stop him from freaking out when he heard Samuel wanted to adopt him.
"I accept!!!"
Dashiell nearly screamed as he jumped out of his chair, the excitement almost revealing his true form.
"I’ll let him raise me!!"
He spun around the room with enthusiasm,
"I saw you humans worship Immortal Foxes and Serpent Immortals, and I thought, I can be worshipped too! Plus I’m way stronger than those foxes and serpents! They can’t compare to me!"
"If I move into his house, will he prepare a nest for me? Do I need to bring my own nest?"
"Are we moving in today?"
"I told you he’d want to adopt me too. It’s all your fault we couldn’t be together sooner!"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
This scenario made her seem like she was breaking up a happy pair.
Oh well.
If Samuel was willing to adopt, that was good news for her.
Although she could use a contract to bind him, it would consume quite a bit of her own Spiritual Power. If she hadn’t encountered the Resentful Bone matter, she wouldn’t have chosen this.
Now leaving it to Samuel, Spiritual Energy wouldn’t be lacking, and since Dashiell had something to ask the big guy, he’d surely behave himself.
But before taking him there, Scarlett gave him a thorough briefing and set up a Prohibition beforehand to prevent him from revealing his identity or harming anyone.
Dashiell found it troublesome, but for the sake of successfully binding a golden partner, he readily agreed.
That afternoon, Scarlett Jennings sent him to the Chalmers Family.
Samuel Chalmers had asked the butler to prepare a room in advance, choosing a room in the eastern corner of the villa, and instructed them not to go near that area except for cleaning.
The room was a suite, equipped with everything he needed, even a few changes of clothes.
There was also a matching bathroom and bathtub in the room.
Dashiell got one look at it and was thrilled all over again.
"This room is so big! It’s bigger than the house Scarlett gave me! Look! He even made a white nest for me!"
Saying that, he jumped into the cool bathtub, curling himself into a ball at the bottom with contentment.
A satisfied Flood Dragon.
The accompanying butler: ...
Was utterly shocked but said nothing.
As Samuel wasn’t present, Scarlett saw that Dashiell seemed very pleased with his "new home," so she returned to the Jennings Family.
Returning from the third phase shoot, she had been so busy that she hadn’t had time to take care of Little Lovely. Now that she finally had some downtime before school started, Scarlett decided to groom him properly.
The villa was too big, so she decided not to search from room to room, and just called out from her fox’s den.
Sure enough, not long after, Little Lovely came trotting towards her, grinning from ear to ear while quite far away.
Scarlett only then noticed he still had the Diamond Crown and veil that Andrea Silva and the kids had put on him before.
It was clear he really liked it, especially the small veil that kept fluttering behind him as he ran.
Scarlett felt a bit exasperated, and when he got closer, she made a move to take off his crown.
But just as her hand touched the Diamond Crown, she heard Andrea Silva’s voice urgently calling out.
"Don’t take it off!"
