The Journey Of Yin And Yang - Volume 1 Chapter 85 Ash Born Horses V
Yang waited patiently for the the stallion to make his decision while his arm was outstretched with some fire essence. Unfortunately, he forgot that horses generally weren’t capable of understanding the god’s language.
When the horse saw the free food, it immediately moved forward and gulped it down, before retreating just as quick. Whatever noice the man in front of him did couldn’t interpreted by the horse and since he didn’t sound aggressive or provocative, it ignored it.
Yang took a step forward and reached for the stallion’s head with his right hand. He wanted to pat it to begin with, before moving on to mounting it.
To the Fire God’s action, the horse was left in confusion but maintained an alertness. When the hand was within reach for his nose, he showed his white teeth. If the man was thinking of anything funny, it was prepared to bite him.
Just as Yang was about to touch it, the stallion twisted its neck and opened its jaw. If he didn’t immediately retract his hand, it would have become the meal of the glutton.
He made a quick decision and created some fire essence in his left palm while his right hand was left hanging in the air above the horse’s head. The horse tried to gulp down the fire essence, but Yang moved his right arm behind his back.
“Be obedient and become my mount. Otherwise, you won’t receive anymore food.” Yang reminded as the horse started to neigh in unhappiness.
He once again tried to pat its head with his left hand. When the horse was about to attack again, he showed him the fire essence before hiding it yet again. Then he repeated the process again and again.
Eventually, the stallion understood that only by letting the Fire God touch him would he be rewarded with food. Thus it stopped its aggression against him when he came to close and received a pat on its head.
Yang was exalted and gave the fire essence to the horse. Then he moved closer and let his hand grip its mane, while supplying some more food for it. It was so lost in enjoying the meal, that it didn’t notice him pulling himself upwards before he was mounted on it.
