It could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue chewing its beloved carrot as if nothing had occurred.

It must be said that the quiet red dragon is like a fine work of art.

At that moment, the sunlight was perfect, and golden rays shone on it, reflecting a dazzling metallic luster, making it look like a sculpture cast in red copper, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Led by Li Lanxiang and Batel, the group led their horses slowly toward the campsite on the grassland.

Looking at the boundless grassland in front of her, Hu Xinxin felt refreshed and relaxed.

At this time, the grass on the grassland has begun to turn green again, and tender green shoots are poking their heads out of the soil, showing the vibrant vitality of spring everywhere.

Honglong also changed his previous irritability and obediently followed behind Zhang Long, not falling behind at all.

As soon as it stepped onto the grassland, it seemed to be injected with vitality, running around happily and showing its lively side.

The other horses were also infected, pacing and running happily on the grass, more energetic than before.

Red Dragon's stables are built separately, isolated from the other stables; they are his own luxurious little nest.

Although the other stables were also very exquisite, compared to Red Dragon's, it was like comparing an executive suite to a presidential suite in a hotel—the difference was obvious.

Li Lanxiang and Batel led the twelve horses away. Honglong watched his companions' departing figures, then looked at Zhang Long and Hu Xinxin who were still walking forward. After hesitating for a moment, he followed closely behind.

After a while, Zhang Long stopped, turned to Honglong, pointed to the stables not far away, and said, "See that? From now on, that's your home!"

The first thing to do upon arriving at the stables was to give Red Dragon a proper grooming.

This little guy hasn't been washed in ages; he's filthy.

Zhang Long reached out and touched it; his hand was covered in black ash. But he was afraid of hurting Honglong's "self-esteem," so he could only silently complain in his heart.

Ordinary wild horses can be easily roused by spraying them with a water gun from a distance, but Akhal-Teke horses are precious and expensive. If they are accidentally injured, it could cause serious trouble.

When getting vaccinated, you can get seven or eight employees to forcefully hold you down to do it, but when it comes to taking a shower, you have to be extra careful.

Faced with such troublesome matters, the manager of the quarantined horse farm previously adhered to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," and simply pretended not to know anything about it.

Anyway, you can't tell from the outside.

Boss Cai even called Zhang Long specifically to discuss the matter of taking a bath.

Once in the shower room, Zhang Long took out the toiletries he had prepared beforehand, and together with Hu Xinxin, they began to "wash" Honglong.

Red Dragon seemed to enjoy its master's service, turning its horse face towards Zhang Long from time to time, wanting to get intimate with him.

He was amused by the red dragon and laughed heartily, even mischievously rubbing its head angrily with his foam-covered hands.

This angered the red dragon, which snorted twice in displeasure, spraying Zhang Long's face with water vapor.

Sure enough, you don't know until you wash it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the red dragon looks quite clean on the outside; the water that comes out when it's rinsed is as black as ink.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to wash him three times before he looked decent. The first two times they couldn't even get any lather out, which showed just how dirty the little guy was.

It wasn't until the third wash that the red dragon finally regained its freshness, its whole body radiating a clean and healthy glow.

This process, from the horse's mane to its hooves, was thoroughly cleaned, taking more than an hour.

Zhang Long was about to take his newly revamped, incredibly handsome red dragon to Boss Cai to show off, only to find out that the other party had already slipped away.

It felt like excitedly preparing to deliver a powerful punch, only to land a heavy blow on soft, fluffy cotton – incredibly unpleasant.

Fortunately, Professor Li was still around, and Zhang Long thought that it was acceptable to show off to him.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Long arrived at the residence of Li Lanxiang and her husband.

Their home is very unique, with a large Mongolian yurt and two smaller ones, standing there in a pleasingly staggered arrangement.

The stables are located right behind the yurt, which is both convenient and practical.

Hu Xinxin's eyes lit up the moment she saw the yurt; it was the first time she had ever seen this exotic architecture in person.

Li Lanxiang, with her sharp eyes, spotted the boss and his wife approaching immediately. She quickly handed over her work to her husband and went to greet them.

When I greeted her, I noticed that the proprietress kept looking at the yurt, appearing quite interested.

So she warmly invited Hu Xinxin to come in and visit.

Zhang Long didn't want to join in the fun. He led Honglong towards Professor Li, who was bent over, intently watching the horses.

Zhang Long chuckled and joked, "Professor Li, what's the point of just watching from here? You should go up and ride around a couple of times to really get the hang of it!"

"Don't you know how to ride?"

"It's alright, I'll ask Battelle to teach you."

Seeing Professor Li wave his hand in refusal, Zhang Long assumed he was scared and continued to tease, "Oh, it seems Professor Li is old in years but young at heart. Do you want Li Lanxiang to teach you?"

"I have no objection, but I don't know if her husband agrees!"

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Professor Li with a mischievous grin.

At this moment, Batel came out of the stable carrying a pile of things. Hearing Zhang Long's words, he smiled calmly at Professor Li, showing no sign of mind.

"Professor Li, wait a moment, my wife is back. I'll have her teach you how to ride a horse; she's a very good teacher!"

In fact, this kind of thing is quite common in Mongolia.

Besides, Li Lanxiang is now working for Zhang Long here, earning more than 30,000 yuan a month, which is more than he earned in the previous six months combined.

When Batel heard that his wife had found a high-paying job but was going to move to the farm, he felt terrible.

After all, his wife is beautiful, how could he not worry?

So he thought he'd come along and find a job nearby.

But when he arrived, he found that the surrounding area was full of farms. He was from Inner Mongolia and didn't know how to farm. The wages here were also low. He searched for a long time but couldn't find a suitable job.

Later, when Zhang Long came to check on the progress of the pasture laying, he accidentally discovered that Batel and two little children were helping Li Lanxiang with their work.

I only discovered this problem after asking out of curiosity.

Upon learning of Batel's predicament, Zhang Long waved his hand and said, "If you can, come along too. We're short of horse herders here anyway."

He patted Batel's muscular physique and said with a smile, "I was just thinking that I was a little worried about leaving such a beautiful woman like Li Lanxiang here all by herself. Now that you're here, it's not bad at all."
