Hearing a little girl say that he smelled good, Owen's mouth twitched. What kind of compliment was that?
But seeing how serious she was, sniffing him like a little puppy, Owen suddenly had a thought and quietly asked, "Is the scent you like from the drops of the Tree of World?"
The bone dragon princess nodded. "The drops of the Tree of World mixed with your scent make it even better."
Her big, bright eyes stared into Owen's, and she rubbed her head against him, as if trying to imprint his scent onto herself.
Owen chuckled and was about to pat her head.
But just then, he noticed that Seraphina's tail had slithered out and wrapped around his extended right hand.
Turning his head, Owen saw Seraphina looking at him with pitiful eyes, like a neglected lover.
Seraphina had been happily spending time with her master, but now this little girl had barged in, stealing his attention.
