An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad - Chapter 79

Chapter 79

“Unexpectedly, the Liyang Royal Family had already produced the dragon’s saliva!” Yang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of shock.

Fortune Dragon’s saliva was a divine substance that could only slowly accumulate once a dynasty’s Fortune reached an immense level.

For it to produce Hao’er, the protagonist, the Liyang Royal Family’s Fortune was indeed formidable.

The manifestation of Dragon of Fortune’s saliva was normal under such circumstances.

If he, this great villain, had not appeared, all of this should have belonged to Hao’er, the protagonist.

But now … since Hao’er was still unconscious, he, as the stepfather, would enjoy these things on Hao’er’s behalf …

“Yan Jiu, you protect me while I cultivate! Kill anyone who dares to barge in!”

“Yes, Master!”

Yan Jiu dispersed into a black mist once more.

Yang Chen immersed himself in the pool water and took out the Liyang jade Seal.

He began forcibly absorbing the Fortune dragon qi within.

A crimson dragon silhouette struggled, unwilling, howling in defiance against Yang Chen’s absorption.

But upon encountering Yang Chen’s Green Lotus Heavenly Flames, the dragon’s howls instantly turned into wails of grief.

Even a Fortune dragon was no match for the Primordial Fire born from Heaven and Earth!

Thread after thread of crimson dragon qi was absorbed by Yang Chen from the Jade Seal.

His body gradually turned crimson in color, with a crimson dragon silhouette coiling around him.

[Ding! Host has absorbed the Dragon of Fortune and its saliva from the Liyang Jade Seal, plundering 4000 points of Providence Luck from the protagonist, Li Hao. Host has gained 4000 Villainous points!]

“It’s time!”

Looking at the now-white jade Seal, Yang Chen tossed it aside.

After ten days of absorption, the Fortune dragon qi within had been completely absorbed by him, and the pale golden hue in the pool had also disappeared.

Then, Yang Chen took out the divine dragon’s spine and began fusing it into his body.

This time, because he had the Fortune dragon as a guiding medium, there was much less rejection from his body.

The dragon’s spine slowly merged into Yang Chen’s spine, turning his entire body golden.

The blood in his body became increasingly turbulent.

Roar!

A draconic howl resounded.

A golden dragon silhouette shot towards the heavens.

An intense draconic might permeated everywhere.

The entire capital was enveloped under this draconic pressure.

Countless cultivators and mortals directly kneeled on the ground.

Even within the palace, people dropped to their knees everywhere.

In Zhao Shirou’s palace, Hao’er’s face was contorted, forcibly supporting his body to avoid kneeling.

“Bastard! Damned Yang Chen!”

Hao’er cursed inwardly.

He knew that only that scoundrel Yang Chen could cause such a commotion.

He had killed Hao’er’s royal father and ancestor, virtually wiping out all the Li family’s Nascent Soul cultivators.

And now he wanted Hao’er to kneel as well.

He would rather die than kneel!

But Hao’er’s cultivation was far too weak, only at the Foundation Establishment realm.

Straining to endure, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing his state, Zhao Shirou hurriedly waved her jade hand, alleviating much of the pressure on Hao’er.

Seeing his mother’s concerned look, Hao’er felt moved.

But recalling the scene he witnessed before passing out previously, a surge of heartache and madness welled up within him.

So he could not help but ask: “Mother, what exactly is your relationship with Yang Chen?”

Hearing this, Zhao Shirou was taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

But sensing the deeply suppressed fury in Hao’er’s gaze, Zhao Shirou knew that if she told him the truth, he would surely do something irrational that would endanger himself.

So she sighed and said softly: “Hao’er, ours is simply an ordinary cooperative relationship! I agreed that Liyang would continue obeying the Xuantian Sect’s orders from now on, and he promised to let you inherit the position of Lord! There’s nothing else to it!”

“Really, Mother?”

Doubt filled Hao’er’s eyes.

After all, on that day he had personally witnessed Yang Chen, that bastard, embracing his mother. And his mother did not resist.

Could it be that his memories had become muddled?

Uncertainty filled Hao’er’s heart.

“Of course it’s true! When have I ever lied to you, Hao’er?” Zhao Shirou gently stroked Hao’er’s head and said softly.

Hearing this, Hao’er’s expression relaxed somewhat as he temporarily set this matter aside.

Hopefully he had simply overthought it.

***

At this moment.

In the State Preceptor’s residence.

“Such a powerful dragon’s majesty, even I, a great Nascent Soul realm cultivator, have an urge to kneel down! Could the Liyang royal family still have hidden experts? From such a far distance, this kind of oppressive aura, even Soul Transformation cultivators can’t achieve it, right?”

The patriarchs of the several major cultivating families in the Liyang capital were holding a meeting at the State Preceptor’s residence, and they were all stunned at this moment.

They were afraid that this oppressive aura was released by a powerful expert from the Liyang royal family.

After all, they had plundered a lot of resources from the royal family.

“Everyone, please rest assured, the Holy Son is currently in closed-door cultivation in the palace. This oppressive aura should be from the Holy Son!”

At this time, Xu Hui came over and said slowly.

There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.

After all, from now on, the status of the State Preceptor’s residence in Liyang could only be described as paramount. And he, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Third Stage, had also become the strongest cultivator in Liyang.

“State Preceptor, you mean this oppressive aura is from the Holy Son?”

“The Holy Son is so terrifying!?”

“This dragon’s majesty surpasses the Liyang royal family by a thousand times!”

“Could it be that the Holy Son has the true dragon’s body?”

The several patriarchs all looked astonished.

The true dragon’s body was a legendary physique.

It was said that humans with the true dragon’s body could be on par with true dragons!

Just relying on their physical body, they could be invincible at the same level and dominate the world!

“I don’t know either!”

Xu Hui shook his head.

But his heart was also in turmoil.

After all, the Holy Son had given him too many shocks.

One must know that the Holy Son was not even fifty years old.

Yet his strength was far stronger than theirs, these old fellows who had cultivated for hundreds or nearly a thousand years.

Such a talent, it was truly terrifying.

Simply monstrous.

However, this was also a good thing.

After all, the stronger the Holy Son was, the stronger the Xuantian Sect would be in the future. And his position as an Inner Sect Elder would be higher.

At this moment, a resounding phoenix cry suddenly echoed throughout the State Preceptor’s residence.

An azure phoenix image appeared in the sky above the State Preceptor’s residence, as if about to spread its wings and soar into the nine heavens.

Strands of blue light radiated a captivating chill.

“This is … Xu Qingxuan’s Ice Phoenix Bloodline has awakened!”

Xu Hui was stunned, then excited.

Qingxuan, this girl, inherited her mother’s ice phoenix bloodline.

But it had never been awakened.

Now, influenced by the dragon’s majesty released by the Holy Son, her ice phoenix bloodline had awakened.

Beside them, the several Nascent Soul cultivators all looked shocked and envious.

“State Preceptor, congratulations! Miss Qingxuan has awakened her Ice Phoenix bloodline; her future prospects are limitless!”

“If I remember correctly, the State Preceptor’s wife is from the Ice Snow City (Bingxue Gucheng), right!”
