Rise of the White Dragon

Among the animals in the area, the panther was one of the fastest. With the ability to combine muscle explosion and energy expenditure, the panther Luan had come across had a great amount of speed.

Luan looked at the panther who was in the Second Order with a little caution.

"Roar——" The fierce panther immediately made a howling sound that shook the sky. Its huge, well-built body launched itself abruptly towards Luan.

In truth, the panther was fast, but neither was Luan slow. With his left hand he attacked. The instant Luan's hand touched the panther's head as it almost bit him, the panther lowered its head and propelled his body back and dodged the impact of Luan's attack, causing his hand to hit the ground.

*Booom!*

With the impact of the blow from Luan's hand, the ground gave way and a crater was formed. The panther lost some of its balance but managed to jump back again. The panther's gaze was that of a beast looking at his prey cautiously, waiting for the best time to attack. Despite experiencing Luan's strength, it only increased the panther's vigilance, yet it showed no fear.

Walking sideways while watching Luan and stepping away from the crater, the panther roared softly and snorted fiercely. Kicking hard off the ground, the mark of his paws was imprinted on the ground as he ran again at surprising speed and this time attacked with a powerful jump.

This time, Luan jumped in the air and spun with his feet like a pinwheel and with a loud sound of *Pow!* the kick, with surprising speed, hit the black panther's jaw and sent him flying towards the ground.

*Crack!*

The panther's bones and organs were sore. Blood came out of its mouth and the panther had a hard time getting up afterward. It was as if anesthesia had been injected into the panther and it started to stagger trying to stay on all fours.

"Submit to me and I will let you live." Luan knew that the panther could understand what he was saying and wanted to bring the panther with him and serve as a watchdog.

"Growl...."

Despite being stained with blood, the panther's black coat did not lose its luster. It was as beautiful as a starry night, with shiny hair. In addition, the black panther's gaze was fierce and intelligent and did not reach the stage of going into a frenzy, which emphasized that it was a more special and stronger animal than the others.

"Don't worry, I'll let you have some freedom and treat you well," Luan tried to negotiate.

Black Panther: "..."

With eyes as bright as a green sapphires, the black panther looked at Luan as he pondered.

The panther liked to live alone, and even with members of its own species, the panther had avoided living in a group. So it was a difficult decision for the panther to make, submitting in obedience to Luan, mainly because he was a free-spirited animal and liked his freedom.

As he reflected, Luan waited patiently while staring at the panther.

The panther measured between 1.95 and 2.05 m in length, including the tail, and was about 1.50 m in height. Its head had a special shape, as it was not very big, but it has pointed ears that stood out quite a lot, as well as huge eyes and a jaw with teeth capable of smashing an elephant's bones.

Seeing that the panther was not yet convinced, Luan continued to beat the panther until he seemed to have seen that if he continued, in fact, he would die.

Roaring in resignation, the panther decided to submit and bowed its head in front of Luan.

Smiling, Luan approached and put his hand on the panther's head. A contract began to form and a diamond shape appeared on the panther's forehead.

"You made a wise choice. I will not treat you unfairly," Luan said nonchalantly and motioned for the panther to follow.

When he arrived at the cave, Pooh the Bear was startled to see the panther, but realizing that the panther was obedient to Luan, he became calmer, but he still remained cautious.

Unlike the bear, the panther would not attract as much attention if Luan were to bring it to earth.

After killing two other monsters he came across, Luan fed the panther enough to not be hungry for several days, but before he could return home, Ingrid appeared through the portal.

"Luan, are you leaving already?" Ingrid frowned in obvious disappointment. After that, she noticed the presence of the panther and asked, "Is this... is it a panther? Hm? Did you tame it?"

"Yes." Luan nodded and pulled her into his embrace.

Ingrid's eyes widened. She wanted to resist but soon found that she was helpless in her boyfriend's clutches.

Suddenly...

Luan's palms appear on the back of her head, locked there and holding her tightly to his lips, soft as petals.

His tongue was warm and soft, but it also seemed to contain formidable strength. He went in abruptly to explore the inside of her mouth and pursued her tongue closely.

Serious, but persistent.

Almost out of breath, Ingrid asked, perplexed, "Where did this come from all of a sudden?"

"Mm, you were so beautiful and cute that I couldn't resist." Luan didn't even blink when he said that.

"Gee, wow." Ingrid hugged Luan's waist and put her head on his chest and kissed above his shirt and looked up with her seductive eyes, saying maliciously, "Is just one kiss enough?"

"... No." Luan's husky voice said: "Wait to come back, and you will see."

"Oh?" Ingrid raised an eyebrow and said with an innocent smile, "What am I going to see?"

"Haha. Okay, keep pretending you don't know," Luan laughed and kissed her forehead.

"Luan, what is that?" Catharina almost jumped when she saw the panther.

"A cat," Luan replied indifferently.

"Tsk, yes, a very big cat!" Catharina scoffed. She confessed that she was a little afraid. She looked at the panther cautiously.

The panther snarled, showing its teeth, but did not dare to be aggressive.

Despite being scary, it was hard not to fall in love with the panther's appearance; it was so dominant and beautiful, that Catharina couldn't help herself from wanting to caress the panther's head.

"Luan, is it okay if I touch him?" Cristina asked.

"Yes, this panther will stay here at home and protect you," Luan said, "This panther has a level of strength in the Second Order."

"Oh..."

Everyone who heard Luan say that was surprised. After all, they could kind of imagine how strong someone in the Second Order was since they knew Luan had reached the Second Order and saw how strong he became.

"Wow, even a panther this big has become obedient to you," Amanda said admiringly, but not surprised since Luan was practically bringing her daughter back to life.

"Luan, are you going to dinner now?" Maira asked.

"I'm going to take a shower first," Luan replied.

"Okay." Maira nodded and asked doubtfully, "As for this panther, will he be staying in one of the rooms?"

"It may be. He is well behaved, and it will be good for him to be around if something unforeseen happens." Luan remembered something and said, "Ah yes, I also intend to do something to disguise this panther to look like a dog. It will be good if you go out so that you can take it with you."
