I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 440: Arthur’s Concession

"What’s wrong? Is there something you’re unhappy about? Whatever you want, I’ll go find it for you."

Seeing Eric’s hand turning red from using too much force, Arthur painfully pulled his hand down from his head. While gently rubbing it with restrained strength, he asked carefully.

Eric impatiently pulled his hand back: "You know, yet you ask."

So he still wanted to go back. Arthur lowered his head dejectedly. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After a long while, he listlessly raised his head and whispered: "If you really want to go back, I’ll go back with you to take a look. Trust me, that beastman definitely won’t be in trouble."

Eric’s eyes immediately widened: "You’re not lying to me, are you? Really? You’re really willing to let me go back?"

Seeing him so happy, Arthur felt both bitter and pained in his heart. Naturally, he didn’t want to do this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have avoided the topic every time it was mentioned these past few days.

But he wanted even less to see Eric sad. Only now did he vaguely understand the words of the old dragon couple; it turned out that if his mate was unhappy, he would be even sadder than the other party.

His heart felt suffocating and painful. The nature of the Dragon race was plunder and greed, and the Hadu tribe contained not only Eric’s clansmen but also Max. Doing this was already behavior that went against his nature; how could Arthur feel at ease?

But when Eric’s eyes rarely revealed a look of joy, Arthur felt that everything was worth it.

"As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter where we are. Let’s take all our wealth and go settle down at the Hadu tribe, okay? The house the Dwarves built for you to live in is quite comfortable too." Arthur tried his best to sound happy.

Hmm? This wasn’t quite what he thought, but since Arthur was finally willing to compromise, Eric was too happy to care about anything else. He absolutely couldn’t let him regret it.

"Then when do we leave? I really want to go back; the Wide-Mouthed Flowers aren’t even finished planting yet!"

Eric’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Arthur expectantly.

"Then let’s pack our things. Bring the golden fruit tree you like. This black ring can hold living things; they won’t survive in other spatial items. Also, the vegetables you like, bring them all. If it’s not enough, I’ll go to other dragons to ask for some more." Arthur rambled on.

"Alright, alright, stop sowing hatred. Enough is enough. Did you forget I know nature magic? As long as we have these things, I can go back and grow them myself."

Eric was afraid new troubles would arise, affecting his departure time.

Heaven knows if Arthur had been kicked in the head by a donkey to suddenly think things through and let him go back.

Although this guy also wanted to follow, being able to return to the Hadu tribe was already the best outcome. Arthur was a dragon; agreeing to compromise was beyond Eric’s expectations.

As for the matter of being mates, he would think of a way slowly, taking it one step at a time.

Eric jumped three feet high, overjoyed. They were currently sunbathing on the mountain peak. He transformed directly into a wolf pup and dove down, jumping into the cave through the hole in the ceiling.

That’s right, until the moment he left, he still didn’t know that the hole was a window Arthur had intentionally opened.

He had been brought here abruptly with nothing on him, so there was nothing to pack. He didn’t want the storage items Arthur gave him earlier, which were still thrown under the pillow.

It was fine not to bring other things now, but he absolutely had to take that lemon tree, along with the green beans, spinach, and sweet potatoes...

It was a pity Boa dared not come; he had planned to make candied sweet potatoes for her to eat. Although he didn’t need to go through her to find Moon and take the opportunity to leave Dragon Island, she was still a cute child.

There was just one thing: he always felt the look in this little girl’s eyes when looking at him was like looking at a peer... Never mind, although she was a little girl, strictly speaking, the other party was already three hundred years old. Being regarded as a peer wasn’t a loss.

Since there were things to take away, storage items had to be used. At this moment, Eric’s mindset was completely opposite to when he first arrived. Now he thought it would be a waste not to use them, so following Arthur’s words, he found a black spatial ring.

He had never used one before, so he fiddled with the ring curiously, tentatively sending his mental power into it.

In an instant, he felt as if his soul was sucked into a huge space. The sky and the ground were chaotic; actually, he couldn’t distinguish up from down at all. He could only guess based on the various living things placed inside.

This place had been casually filled by Arthur with many plants of unknown names. There were many trees blooming brilliantly, and many bearing all kinds of colorful fruits. There were even many animals, fierce-looking but frozen in their posture of fear from the moment they were put in.

Not knowing what strange hobbies Arthur had, Eric scrunched his nose and withdrew from the ring.

Using mental power like this for the first time, he was still a bit unaccustomed to it. When he withdrew, his body couldn’t help but tilt backward, nearly falling to the ground.

Eric wasn’t afraid of falling; he had thick skin and flesh now, so a fall wouldn’t matter.

He didn’t mind, but Arthur was startled: "Careful!"

Saying that, he rushed to shield Eric’s back, supporting his body.

"It’s okay, it’s okay." Eric was in a good mood and rarely didn’t show attitude to Arthur.

However, he didn’t want too much contact with Arthur and immediately stood up straight.

The warmth in his arms vanished, and Arthur felt a bit of regret. He bent down and took Eric’s right hand from behind:

"Just now was the claiming process; next, you can use it directly. I’ve erased the imprints on the other rings and bracelets. You can do the same as just now to leave your own mark."

Eric suddenly jumped away: "No, no need. It’s too precious; I can’t accept it. Consider this borrowed from you; I’ll return it to you when we get to the tribe. I didn’t know that was the claiming ritual just now; I’ll find a way to erase the mark."

He couldn’t accept it. Storage items were already precious enough, let alone that inside was all of Arthur’s property.

Things between Eric and Arthur were already ambiguous; he couldn’t get too deeply involved.

"Why must you draw such a clear line with me? Aren’t we mates? My things are all yours, and so am I."

This time, contrary to his usual behavior, Arthur didn’t let this topic go easily. Instead, he pressed step by step. His eyes and words carried sorrow, but his actions were full of pressure.

"Or perhaps, you are returning to the Hadu tribe to escape me?"

Eric wanted to answer yes, but he didn’t want to provoke Arthur. What if the other party got angry and changed his mind? Wouldn’t he never be able to return in his lifetime?

"No, I..." He hurriedly wanted to refute, but in his heart, that was ultimately what he thought, and his eyes couldn’t deceive anyone.

Arthur gave a self-mocking laugh. His pained gaze turned hazy as he took a few more steps forward and pulled Eric into his arms.
