The Little Black Dragon Wants to Eat a Human

Wu Jing felt more humiliated than ever before in his life.

A mighty black dragon who ruled the skies of the West, he was ambushed in a fight and woke up stranded in a foreign land.

There was plenty to like about this strange place, except that he had to write those utterly incomprehensible Chinese homework assignments every single day.

Desperate and broke, he posted online asking for help: "Send me 3,000 yuan so I can buy a plane ticket. Once I get home, I'll make you my underling."

He even attached a payment QR code.

Netizen A, replying instantly: "What a coincidence, I'm a witch. Send me 50 yuan for food first, and I'll come pick you up later!"

Wu Jing was overjoyed and transferred the money at once.

Netizen B: "What the hell, OP, are you an idiot? You actually believed that?!"

Wu Jing: ???

Staring at the "witch's" account, which had been deleted in seconds, the big black dragon, who had only just learned to use a smartphone, was so furious that the scales on his tail stood on end.

"Foolish humans! I'm going to eat every last one of you!"

Barefoot on the sofa, he glared with blazing golden eyes and let out a ferocious roar.

But the next second, Shen Liyu, who had just come in, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. "Wu Jing, your midterm results are out. You got fifty in Chinese."

"B-but I'm a foreign dragon."

"Sure, but even foreign dragons aren't allowed to be illiterate."

At his grandfather's request, Shen Liyu went to Taohua Village to look after a boy named Wu Jing and raise him until he went to university.

The boy had black hair and golden eyes, and was impossibly beautiful. It was just that there seemed to be something wrong with his head.

He kept claiming he was a dragon, and a Western one at that.

He was always talking about going home, even though he couldn't pass Chinese and was completely illiterate.

Shen Liyu was at his wit's end. The kid was chuunibyou and haughty, and couldn't be hit or scolded, so Shen Liyu could only treat him like royalty.

Then one morning, Shen Liyu woke to an unusual weight pressing down on him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a thick black tail, covered in cold scales, wrapped tightly around his waist.

Its owner, the haughty golden-eyed brat, was curled up in his arms, fast asleep, his head restlessly nuzzling into the crook of Shen Liyu's neck.

Shen Liyu stared expressionlessly at the ceiling.

...So it wasn't chuunibyou after all.

This thing really did seem to be a dragon.
