Please Feed the Villainous Little Dragon Properly!

Aurora was born into the Blue Dragon clan, rulers of the waters, but he was a tiny dragon with snow-white scales. His unusual coloring and frail body made the other young dragons reject him.

Because his magic was also prone to getting out of control, the other dragons always made him out to be a villain who bullied them. Even his parents and older brother never believed him or liked him.

The little dragon grew up all alone, and one ordinary day, he left home.

Aurora wandered into the human world. The rows upon rows of skyscrapers and countless magical technologies left the hungry, country-bumpkin dragon utterly stunned.

But the dragon was starving to death. He had survived along the way by nibbling on wildflowers, wild fruit, and discarded building materials. He wandered all around the human world and still couldn't find anything suitable to eat.

The dragon felt wronged: They... They kept everything way too clean!

At last, the little dragon found a fertile plot of land enclosed by a fence. Carefully shifting back to his true form, he crouched by the entrance and scavenged food dropped by the College of Agriculture at Magic Tech University, the top school in the field.

Tomatoes? Delicious.

Potatoes? Delicious!

Sugarcane? Incredibly, unbelievably delicious!

Recently, Pu Yun noticed something strange about his experimental fields. The fallen crops were always picked completely clean. Even the Silver Ring sugarcane next door, which its owner stubbornly insisted was being saved for seeds, had been gnawed down to nothing... What are you, a Taotie? How are your teeth that strong?!

The surveillance footage showed only a fast-moving white blur.

A cat? A fox? A magical beast?

He rubbed his chin and decided to try feeding it.

Fruit: loved it, especially sugarcane.

Vegetables: so-so, especially disliked chewing leaves.

Other pungent foods: best not try those for now.

Before long, more and more members of the group tried feeding the mysterious creature.

They were tired of flattering that chosen one, and after their past failures, they had lost the urge to compete. They just wanted to do their own research in a remote corner of Magic Tech University.

Lately, they'd found a new source of fun.

Then one day, Pu Yun walked into the group meeting room with a strange look on his face, carrying a snow-white little dragon who was practically breathing his last. "Who snuck in fish mint and fed it to him?!"

That stuff kills people... and dragons!!
