Others nodded in agreement with Huanglong Daoist's words.
Then, as Gungun's mouth got close to Qin Shou, a tongue suddenly shot out and gave him a forceful lick across the face, coating him in slobber and drenching his fur.
Princess Mudan asked in surprise, "Is this really an Iron-eating Beast?"
Emperor Jin said gravely, "Iron-eating Beasts, fond of people, lick them. It seems this Iron-eating Beast has taken a liking to that rabbit..."
Gouyun's eyes brightened, "Could it be because of the food? This Iron-eating Beast is so small, it must be a cub. Luring a cub with food can indeed deepen the bond. If we could even train it to speak... getting licked by it might be a good thing."
Princess Mudan, Emperor Jin, even Huanglong Daoist all nodded subconsciously. After all, that was an Iron-eating Beast! The steed of the ancient War God Chiyou! Who wouldn't want to harness such a creature?
However...
"Get lost! Scram... Damn it, my fur's all wet!"
