Since he had promised to notify her after the hatching, he naturally needed to do so.
âWushuang Girl, the little Dragon Girl has been born!â
The message was sent out, and a reply came immediately, âSo soon? Impossible!â
Upon receiving a response, Li Cheng raised an eyebrow. Did Wushuang have a thorough understanding of the dragon eggâs hatching time?
Just over three months had passed, and yet she didnât believe the news he told her!
Li Cheng glanced at Ao Qingâs reverse scale where Ao Jiugai was hiding within.
âOld Ao, that Wushuang, whatâs her background?â Li Cheng asked straightforwardly.
Ao Jiugai did not show himself, but he clearly hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, âI donât know!â
âDonât play dumb. When you used your four claws for Artifact Refining, you didnât even dare to let out a peep. You only showed yourself when I took your Essence Blood, and later when we were with Wushuang, you also didnât dare to show yourself. You are clearly afraid of Wushuang,â Li Cheng said.
âNot at all, I donât care about using my four claws for Artifact Refining, why would I need to show myself? As for showing myself when my Essence Blood was taken, it was because I wanted to entrust you to take care of my daughter.â
The explanation from Ao Jiugai obviously couldnât convince Li Cheng.
Wushuang must have a significant background, or there must be something on her that made Ao Jiugai frightened, preventing him from showing himself.
Moreover, when his corpse was with Wushuang, his Remnant Soul remained hidden, not even detected by Wushuang.
âForget about her; I will first condense the Dragon Command for you, then Iâll tell you that grand secret!â
Ao Jiugai emerged from the reverse scale, speaking with a cheery laugh.
That smile was clearly a cover, concealing his knowledge of Wushuangâs identity or something else.
âThe Dragon Command represents the recognition of the Dragon Clan. With the Dragon Command, you can mess with my corpse as you like, and when you encounter other members of the Dragon Clan in the future, they will also treat you as a friend.â
As Ao Jiugai spoke, a light golden dragon-shaped light emerged and floated toward Li Cheng.
Li Cheng reached out his hand to catch it, and the light merged into his body without any anomalies.
That was something only the Dragon Clan could sense.
âThatâs it. Now you should listen carefully, the grand secret Iâm about to reveal concernsâ¦â
Bang!
Just then, the Formation surrounding the courtyard trembled slightly.
Li Cheng looked outside the Formation, then back at Ao Jiugai, âWushuang Girl has arrived.â
âThen you two talk, we can discuss that grand secret later!â With a light cough, Ao Jiugai returned into Ao Qingâs reverse scale.
Opening the Formation, Li Cheng smiled and said, âDidnât you say you didnât believe it?â
Wushuang strode over, her sparkling eyes focused intently on Ao Qing, who was floating in the air with her eyes closed in meditation, âSheâs really been born!â
Ao Qing seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes. Just a glance, and with a swoosh, she darted behind Li Cheng, coiling around his waist and carefully poking her head out over his shoulder.
âSuch a timid Divine Dragon? Donât be afraid, let your sister hold you!â Wushuang hastened her steps toward Li Cheng, arms wide open.
Ao Qing promptly withdrew her head, hiding behind Li Cheng, too frightened to show herself.
âHey, what are you hiding for?â
Wushuangâs figure flitted over Li Chengâs head, and she caught hold of Ao Qing, cradling her in her arms.
Ao Qing didnât struggle; instead, she seemed to encounter something she feared, her body somewhat rigid. She looked utterly unwilling to move and allowed Wushuang to stroke her.
Li Cheng became even more convinced of his thoughts. The fear Ao Qing displayed suggested it was a suppression from lineage or a certain auraâs oppression.
This Wushuang Girl is not simple!
âHave you given her a name? Eh? Youâ¦â Wushuang seemed to have discovered something on Li Cheng but then quickly shut her mouth.
âI have, Ao Qing,â Li Cheng nodded, capturing Wushuangâs reaction in his eyes, and started to suspect that she might have noticed the Dragon Command.
If that were the case, it meant Wushuang was also from the Dragon Clan since only they could detect the presence of the Dragon Command.
But Li Cheng couldnât be sure and smiled, âWushuang Girl, what did you want to say?â
âOh, I was saying your Cultivation has improved a lot and advanced really quickly!â Wushuang said sincerely.
Is that so? Was that what she was surprised about initially?
âAo Qing? Freshly born and already at the mid-stage of Heaven God State, impressive!â Wushuang had already started to play with Ao Qing, scrutinizing her every inch and caressing her body.
Li Cheng couldnât help but smile; it looked as if she was searching for Ao Jiugai!
But just as her finger was only three dragon scales away from the inverse scales, Ao Qing moved like lightning, breaking free from Wushuangâs embrace in a flash and returned behind Li Cheng.
Wushuang pursed her lips, âThe inverse scales of the Dragon Clan really canât be touched.â
Li Cheng was somewhat disappointed. If she had noticed Ao Jiugaiâs location, he would surely have discovered something; by then, he could have figured it all out.
Unfortunately, he was just a bit short.
âSheâs just been born, once she grows up a bit, she certainly wonât be this timid,â Li Cheng said, his gaze fixed on Wushuang to catch her reaction.
Wushuang just nodded, changing the subject, âIâve accepted a two-star task, are you interested in teaming up?â
Without any hesitation, Li Cheng shook his head, âMiss Wushuang is about to step into the Divine Monarch Realm, I wouldnât want to hold you back. I should focus on cultivating!â
âWell then, Iâll come back to see Ao Qing later. Make sure you get her some more Heaven God Pills,â Wushuang instructed before turning to leave.
As Li Cheng watched Wushuang leave, he looked doubtfully at Ao Qing and took out a high-quality Heaven God Pill, âDo you want to eat⦠it?â
Before he had finished speaking, Ao Qing swallowed the Heaven God Pill in one gulp and closed her eyes to savor it.
âAll right, now Iâve got another mouth to feed with the Divine Pills. Iâll have to refine some more another day.â
Talking to himself, Li Cheng looked towards Yin Yueâs room; the girl had awakened from her cultivation.
âXiaoyue, come out and see the Divine Dragon!â Li Cheng called.
Yin Yue had just opened her eyes when she heard her masterâs words, and her eyes lit up instantly, âDivine Dragon?â
Yin Yue dashed out of the room and immediately saw Ao Qing perched on Li Chengâs shoulder.
Li Cheng patted Ao Qingâs head, âWeâre all family here, and youâre both girls, you should get closer in the future.â
âMaster, is this your⦠new disciple?â Yin Yue approached carefully, as if afraid of startling Ao Qing.
âI⦠Ao Qing, you, Yin Yue,â Ao Qing spoke up, her words slightly slurred and not fluent.
Yin Yueâs eyes sparkled as she reached out both hands, âAo Qing, you can talk, thatâs great⦠â
âDonât take her outside our residence, to avoid unnecessary trouble,â Li Cheng reminded.
A newly born Divine Dragon, if seen by outsiders, who knows if someone would get the wrong idea.
âI understand, Master. Donât worry!â Yin Yue was very delighted. She still looked thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was actually twenty-four or twenty-five. It was just that in the more than ten years since coming to Kongqian City with Li Cheng, her interactions with the outside world were very limited, so her mental age hadnât increased by much.
Li Cheng took out thousands of Heaven God Pills to give to Yin Yue, âYou both can eat them together.â
Having said that, Li Cheng returned to his room; he had been delayed long enough, and it was time to cultivate the Azure Dragon Seal!
The White Tiger Seal was already fully cultivated. Since he couldnât find Azure Dragon Essence Blood, he intended to use Divine Dragonâs Essence Blood as a substitute to cultivate the seal, and the effects should not be too far off. After all, this was a wood attribute Divine Dragon, which had the same attribute as the Azure Dragon.
âAre you preparing to cultivate? Donât you want to hear the big secret I was about to tell you?â Ao Jiugai floated in just as he was about to begin cultivating with the Essence Blood.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment and then shook his head, âThereâs no hurry, Iâll cultivate first. Itâs only a matter of months.â
He mainly feared he wouldnât be able to resist the temptation once he heard the secret, so it was better to finish cultivating the Azure Dragon Seal first.
Ignoring Ao Jiugaiâs presence, Li Cheng took out the Essence Blood.
Ao Jiugai was puzzled; what was he cultivating with His Essence Blood? Body Refinement?
The next moment, Li Cheng activated the Essence Blood and imprinted its immense power into his body, then began forming a series of complex and obscure Seals with his hands.
âOh? Cultivating some kind of Divine Skill with my Essence Blood? Iâd like to see this!â
Ao Jiugai floated to a corner of the room and quietly watched.
Gradually, a Divine Dragon phantom began to coalesce around Li Cheng. As more and more Essence Blood power flowed in, the phantom became increasingly solid!
And as Time passed, Ao Jiugai was shocked to discover that there seemed to be some kind of connection between his Remnant Soul and that Divine Dragon phantom, as if he could join it.
Ao Jiugai shook his head, quickly dismissing the thought, with a contemplative look in his eyes, âWhy does this Divine Skill feel like the Demon Suppression Emperorâs unique technique, what was it called again?â
For a moment, Ao Jiugai couldnât remember.
ROAR!
At that moment, a deep dragon roar resounded from within the Divine Dragon phantom, snapping Ao Jiugai back to attention.
Looking up, the Divine Dragon phantom, now seven to eight parts solid, coiled around Li Cheng, exuding tremendous might.
Ao Jiugai seemed to realize something, his eyes gradually widening.
