Gu Xiaoqi brought her daughter over and gestured for Shang Ning to look.
Shang Ning looked down and saw that the little girl had just turned one month old. Her skin was fair and tender, and her little fist was placed near her mouth. She was blinking her little mouth and looked incredibly cute.
But those big, dark eyes were now tinged with a deep, unfathomable purple.
Shang Ning moved his lips, and when he looked up, Gu Xiaoqi's eyes had already turned purple.
Shang Ning: "!!!"
Shang Ning kept staring at the little girl, his mind still a bit numb from the confusion.
"There is a record in the Dragon Family Genealogy that during a time of chaos, the Dragon Family's Holy Maiden offered her heart to the King and went far away. Heaven, mindful of her righteousness, spared her life and allowed her to remain unharmed."
Shang Ning listened to the story word by word, and it sounded familiar.
"If I'm not mistaken, the story continues on this tortoise shell. After the king, whose heart was given to the dragon maiden, restored the balance of the world, he went to find her. However, things didn't go as planned. The dragon maiden had already married and had children. So the king placed a curse on her for all eternity: the dragon maiden would never die, but when she died, all plants would wither and people would be buried with her. In other words, the dragon maiden's final destiny is to be alone, regardless of life or death."
"This guy is sick in the head," Shang Ning cursed in a deep voice. Not just sick, but mentally ill.
"It is said that the Dragon Maiden's heart's blood can grant immortality, but because it is cursed, few dare to covet it. Only the descendant of that king can break this curse. Tell me, why is he looking for you?"
"I think this thing is too mythical. My family is just an ordinary family."
"I just want to borrow a drop of your heart's blood. I promise I won't hurt you. I don't want my daughter to grow up living in constant fear like I have, afraid that something might happen to her and implicate Leng Yexi and my child. My aunts have also lived in constant fear their whole lives. My daughter was just born, and her life hasn't even begun yet."
Shang Ning frowned, looking at the girl who was holding her little fist in her mouth. Just as Gu Xiaoqi was about to kneel, he hurriedly helped her up. "Mrs. Leng," Shang Ning said urgently, biting his lip as if he sighed. "Of course I have no objection to having the heart's blood, but I'm afraid all of this is just your conjecture, and in the end you'll only be disappointed. Besides, you know this body isn't mine, and even the magnetic field has been rearranged. I'm not doubting what our ancestors left behind; I'm just afraid you'll be disappointed."
"It's better to have hope than no hope at all."
Shang Ning didn't care about just a drop of blood; after all, with today's advanced technology, taking a drop of blood is absolutely safe.
Shang Ning was just afraid of disappointing her; after waiting for so many years, all she would get in the end was disappointment.
Shang Ning lowered his head and reached out to touch the little girl's face. The little girl smacked her lips and turned her head toward Shang Ning. Suddenly, she grinned and smiled.
“Mrs. Leng, I might need to call Jin Yining.” Shang Ning took a deep breath, still feeling that this matter was too fantastical. She needed to find Jin Yining to confirm whether she was still a person.
Gu Xiaoqi nodded slightly and did not stop her.
Shang Ning took her phone and went to the side to call Jin Yining. Jin Yining was also waiting for her call, so she answered quickly, "How did it go?"
"Jin Yining, what if I'm not human? Would you still want me?" Judging from her voice, she was about to cry.
