The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 182

Jessica hadn't even started to breathe in when a gentle fragrance made its way into her nostrils. The scent was indescribably delightful, almost heavenly. Just a quick whiff made her feel like she was floating. When she looked again, the Sealed Dragon Grass's crimson seemed to have faded a bit.

Daniel noticed and quickly put the plant away.

"What are you doing? Why won't you let me smell it anymore?"

"The color's fading; you smell it too much, and it'll die. You can only indulge in the fragrance of the Sealed Dragon Grass every hundred days. It's fragile."

"Is it that delicate?"

"It's magical because it's not easy to keep alive. If it were, it'd be everywhere."

"It's that hard to keep alive? Well, then you take care of it!"

"Uhh..."

Daniel chuckled. "I can't do that; it needs you!"

"Why?"

"The Sealed Dragon Grass likes you! It leaned towards you just now."

He handed the plant back to her, and sure enough, as it neared Jessica, it leaned her way.

"Just watch how it behaves around me."

When he took the Sealed Dragon Grass back, it tilted away the moment it was near him.

Jessica couldn't help but laugh. "Even the Sealed Dragon Grass doesn't like you!"

"Can't blame it! You're breathtaking, a true beauty! It's normal for the Sealed Dragon Grass to fancy a pretty lady."

"Shut up!"
