Chapter 66 No More Regrets
Ah Jin's words left Yu Shan speechless. Such a villain, suddenly turning over a new leaf and repenting, was too unreal!
"Why should I believe you?" Yu Shan said coldly. Merging one's soul into the nascent chaos within the fetus's body was indeed a feasible thing.
However, if one is not careful during this process, the fetus may be harmed, resulting in a child with a damaged soul after birth, or even a child who may be born mentally challenged.
"Madam, I'm handing this to you. Are you willing to trust me?" Ah Jin said, forcibly pulling the inner core out of his body.
A golden dragon pearl floated into the palm of the feather fan. This time, she was finally moved. For a dragon, the dragon pearl was its life. The feather fan holding its dragon pearl was equivalent to holding its lifeline. If it made the slightest move, she could easily kill it by crushing the dragon pearl.
She truly felt no sympathy for this dragon, not because he had killed the county magistrate's family and those yamen runners who might have been his accomplices.
It wasn't because he opened the lab and released the infected zombies.
Furthermore, he captured many high-level superhumans, intending to forcibly infect them, just so that Ayao could become a zombie and stay with him forever.
In this dragon's eyes, other people's lives are as insignificant as grass, and they can be sacrificed at will for his love.
In Yu Shan's view, everyone, whether strong or weak, should respect life.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? I don't believe you suddenly had a change of heart," Yu Shan said coldly.
"Actually, wanting Ayao to become a zombie was just wishful thinking on my part. I kept this from her from beginning to end."
I worry that if she really becomes an intelligent, high-level zombie, she will resent my decision. Given her kindness, she might prefer to die rather than sacrifice so many lives.
I was hesitant at first, but your words woke me up. You said I was wrong from the beginning, that Ayao loved the little snake named Ajin, not me, the dragon.
In order to take human form, I left her, which is why I lost the chance to protect her. Although her death was forced by that damned magistrate, I am also to blame.
I made a mistake once, and even after five thousand years, I cannot make up for it.
Now I'm wishfully turning her into a zombie. Once she cultivates to the level of a zombie king, she might live for a very long time, but she will lose her soul and will never be able to reincarnate.
If this choice is wrong, even if I am shattered to pieces, there will be no way to undo it.
I may be a dragon without conscience, but I would never do anything bad to Ayao.
After you purified the evil energy in my body, I immediately sensed the fetus in your womb. I think this is the last chance God has given me, allowing me to do everything in my power to fight for a chance for Ayao.
With you as her mother, I believe she won't be bullied, can grow up safely, find a man who loves and protects her, and live the happy life that is rightfully hers.
The red phantom kowtowed repeatedly, and a line of bloody tears flowed from the eyes of its serpentine body.
This time, Yu Shan had no more doubts, and her tone became gentle: "Alright, I'll trust you this once. Give me A Yao's soul."
However, I will erase her memories, allowing her to merge into my womb as a truly pure fetus.
“That would be best. I also hope she forgets everything about me, is born like any other baby, and begins her new life.” Akin smiled.
He laughed heartily, showing no fear or sorrow at the prospect of dying.
He slowly pulled out A Yao's soul bead from the diary. Although her soul was asleep, strands of gold were wrapped around it. The entire soul bead looked like countless gold threads inlaid in icy jade, dazzlingly beautiful.
"You actually severed dozens of dragon souls to feed her!" Feather Fan exclaimed in surprise.
You should know that severing one's soul is the most painful thing in the world. That kind of pain is a hundred times more painful than any physical injury.
Just by looking at the dozens of golden threads, one could tell how much this dragon had endured for his Ayao.
Yu Shan was not a woman who indulged in romantic love. As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, she bore the fate of all her people, which kept her away from love and romance from the time she became aware of things.
Even so, she couldn't help but be moved by Ah Jin's infatuation. Although she knew she shouldn't sympathize with such a dragon, her hatred and loathing for him lessened considerably.
With the Dragon Ball in hand and a continuous stream of spiritual power supporting it, Yu Fan slowly inserted A Yao's Soul Pearl into her abdomen. He formed hand seals, first erasing the memories within the Soul Pearl, and then helping it to merge into the tiny chaos in the brain of the fetus in his womb as quickly as possible.
To her surprise, the soul bead was surprisingly compatible with the fetus, and the soul fusion process went very smoothly.
Sensing that A Yao's soul pearl had been completely fused, the little snake instantly transformed into its dragon form, raised its front claws and stabbed them into its own chest, forcing out eight drops of essence blood, which it then injected into the feather fan's belly.
He then severed another fist-sized golden dragon soul and shoved it back into the feather fan's belly.
Nourished by the dragon's essence and soul, Feather Fan sensed that the life force of the fetus inside her womb had indeed become much stronger.
Originally, she planned to search far and wide for rare and precious materials that could restore the fetus's original essence after finding a partner for this body. Unexpectedly, she obtained the dragon's essence blood and dragon soul, which were treasures that were hard to come by.
Feather Fan could almost foresee how strong her daughter's physique would be, how abundant her energy would be, and how outstanding her talent would be.
Although the dragon was for his beloved, his soul, having had its memories wiped away, was a blank slate. After being born, he was simply her daughter, with no connection to his past life.
After doing all this, Ah Jin was in so much pain that he could no longer maintain his dragon form and turned back into a small snake, writhing in agony on the ground.
After a while, the little snake finally calmed down and reappeared as a phantom.
He first handed a six-pointed star-shaped array plate to Yu Shan and explained to her in detail how to open the life gate in the array.
Then he poured out a large amount of rare and precious materials needed for cultivation from the space inside his body and stuffed them all into the feather fan's hand.
Finally, he took out a dark object, infused it with spiritual power, and it instantly transformed into a fertile patch of black soil.
Then he took out a handful of emerald green seeds and said, "These are the seeds that dragons loved to eat when they were young. They are called Sweet Pearls, and they are the fruit of a very common sweet grass."
According to the inherited memory, a young dragon that eats the Sweet Pearl will live a sweet and happy life.
I found them on my way to steal the Millennium Transformation Fruit. I couldn't bear to eat them at the time, and planned to wait until I returned after transforming to share them with Ayao. Unfortunately, I never got that chance.
According to inherited memories, if the Sweet Pearl is nourished with dragon's blood and flesh, it can grow into Dragon Blood Grass, purifying all the impurities of the world. The Withering Virus, however, is the most impure thing in the world.
Having said that, the phantom made a grasping motion in mid-air towards the little snake's body. The next second, the little snake turned into a cloud of blood mist, which was then scattered onto the fertile black soil.
“Madam, this piece of black soil is a fragment of the Breath Soil that I obtained by chance. After cultivating this batch of Dragon Blood Grass, you should keep it. It will automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to restore its vitality. It may be useful in the future.”
The phantom had become almost transparent and looked like it would soon disappear.
Red seedlings quickly sprouted on the black soil, and they grew rapidly into grass that was more than ten centimeters tall.
The roots and stems of the grass are bright red, and each plant has five golden leaves at the top, which look like the claws of a five-clawed golden dragon.
"Madam, I beg you!" Ah Jin's illusory image finally began to dissipate.
"I will love my daughter dearly; there's no need for others to worry," Yu Shan said expressionlessly.
The last thing the phantom to disappear was a smiling face. He was smiling so happily, so content, as if he had no regrets whatsoever.
