The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 181 All Safe With Me

Daniel didn't expect the Sealed Dragon Grass wasn’t meant for him, leaving him a bit bummed. But Jessica didn't mind his mood and just carried on with her suggestion.

"Right, wasn’t the Dragon Pod meant to nurture the Seven Dragon Grass? Why not just put the Sealed Dragon Grass in there to grow?"

Her words sent a new wave of excitement through Daniel.

His eyes gleamed in anticipation as he asked, "Sweetheart, are you saying I should take care of the Sealed Dragon Grass?"

"You wish! Both the Sealed Dragon Grass and the Dragon Pod are under my watch."

"But what if I just want to take a peek, catch a whiff of the Sealed Dragon Grass? Could you hand it over then, honey?"

"We'll see!"

"See what? Whether I perform well in bed?"

"Get lost! In your dreams!"

Although Jessica retorted sharply, deep down, a tiny spark of hope flickered. If Daniel really did make a move on her, even if he tried to take advantage now, she knew she wouldn't resist much. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

After spending some time with him, she realized Daniel's talents were as vast as the ocean. Daniel was amazing, good at everything he did.

He was a fantastic doctor, had a keen eye for antiques, was a master at Jade Gambling, and even excelled in combat!

Was there anything in this world he couldn't do?

Jessica unlocked the tiny golden padlock on the wooden box and lifted the lid with a snap. She half- expected the Sealed Dragon Grass inside to be a marvel to behold.

But what did she see? A shriveled, wilted little plant, pale and yellowish, looking very ordinary – no different than the weeds in a lawn.

As Jessica stared at the Sealed Dragon Grass, a bit of unease washed over her.

"Is this really the Sealed Dragon Grass?" she asked Daniel, uncertainty in her voice. "Could someone have swapped it?"

"That’s the Sealed Dragon Grass, alright!"

"Then why does it look like this? Has it always been like this, or is there something off about the Sealed Dragon Grass?"

"The Sealed Dragon Grass isn't any ordinary plant. It's one of the Seven Dragon Grasses, a divine herb with a spirit of its own. So, this isn't how it's supposed to look. It's like this because you haven't taken proper care of it; you almost killed it!"

Daniel took the Sealed Dragon Grass and placed it into the Dragon Pod. Almost instantly, it perked up, sprouting roots and coming back to life.

"The Sealed Dragon Grass is alive?"

Jessica was in disbelief.

Before her eyes, the pale exterior of the Sealed Dragon Grass began to shine a vibrant red, stunningly beautiful.

"How gorgeous! The Sealed Dragon Grass is so beautiful!"

After sharing her awe, Jessica, now perplexed, turned to Daniel, "Why is the Sealed Dragon Grass red?"

"It's not just red; it's crimson. The Seven Dragon Grass comes in seven colors: crimson, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet. Sealed Dragon Grass comes first: it’s crimson!"

At that moment, a wisp of crimson mist floated from the tip of the revived Sealed Dragon Grass. Daniel hurriedly brought his nose close and inhaled deeply.

The crimson scent entered his nostrils and calmed the dragon spirit within him, no longer so restless. Just one breath promised him three more days of life.

"What are you doing?" Jessica asked, curious.

"Smelling it! The scent is incredible."

Daniel chuckled and then held the Sealed Dragon Grass up to Jessica’s nose.
