Chapter 56 All these years, your father has always missed you.
"I thought you would keep hiding and never come out, my dear sister."
Just as Long Yingxue's palm was about to strike, Ao Shuang flew out of the Dragon Palace.
She was one of the few dragons in the Dragon Palace who remained normal, but compared to half a year ago, her eyes had become more mad and she had lost some of her rationality.
When she saw Long Yingxue's transparent dragon horns with dark gold patterns, a greedy look appeared in her eyes.
She continued, "Sure enough, as long as I keep that mortal around, you'll come looking for me sooner or later, which saves me the trouble of going to find you myself."
Long Yingxue stopped attacking and coldly asked, "Where is Cheng Xiao? Give Cheng Xiao back to me."
This is the only thing she cares about right now. She can only sense that Cheng Xiao is still alive through the master-servant blood pact, but she can't sense his location at all, as if he is sealed off by something.
It has been several years since Long Yingxue had her dragon tendons extracted and she left the Dragon Palace.
Before leaving, the Dragon Palace was solemn, grand, and resplendent.
But the Dragon Palace now is completely different from what she remembers.
I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it, but it just is.
But none of that matters to her; all she wants now is Cheng Xiao.
"You mean that mortal? He's still alive, I suppose. Don't worry, I'll send you to join him right away, and we'll both go on our way together." Ao Shuang laughed, a chilling laugh that stretched from her lips all the way to her ears.
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be looking for something from Ao Xue, something very important.
What is it?
She couldn't quite remember, no matter how hard she tried.
Ao Shuang didn't want to think about things she couldn't remember at all; all she wanted now was to kill Ao Xue and devour her flesh and blood.
It must be delicious.
She seemed hungry, hungry for a long time.
Seeing that Ao Shuang had no intention of cooperating, Long Yingxue stopped talking and said that she would go in and find the dragons herself after killing them.
She raised her palm again, and all the spiritual energy in the world seemed to converge on her palm.
Even the seawater that had been split in two began to boil.
Ao Shuang seemed oblivious to the danger. Her slender human hand instantly transformed into a dragon claw, heading straight for Long Yingxue in the sky.
A strong golden light emanated from Long Yingxue's palm.
The spiritual energy in her palm instantly touched Ao Shuang's.
A deafening roar echoed across the sea. The battle between the two Nascent Soul stage experts was earth-shattering. In that instant, it seemed as if the entire Dragon Palace was trembling.
They only needed one exchange to determine the winner.
Ao Shuang was sent flying backward, her body crashing into the sea, creating ripples like a stone skipping across water.
Although both are Nascent Soul stage experts, one is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage and the other is at the Great Perfection stage, which is worlds apart.
In Long Yingxue's hands, Ao Shuang is now no different from an ordinary person.
The palm strike just now contained violent golden energy. As soon as the golden light appeared, it instantly wrapped around Ao Shuang's body, and even forced out bursts of black energy from her body.
Amidst Ao Shuang's screams, her eyes seemed to regain some clarity.
"You, you've also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Her tone was full of disbelief, but she quickly recovered. "It's the Dragon King's inheritance, it's the Dragon King's inheritance, right! You found the Dragon King's inheritance!"
Ao Shuang finally remembered what she had forgotten.
My initial purpose in seeking out Ao Xue was to obtain clues about the Dragon King's inheritance from her. How could she have forgotten something so important?
"I don't want to get involved in your affairs. Hand over Cheng Xiao now, and I'll leave immediately." Long Yingxue suppressed her anger.
She wanted to completely destroy the Dragon Palace and kill all the dragons, but that was after she rescued Cheng Xiao.
"You think I'd believe that?" Ao Shuang sneered. "Don't worry, you can't leave, and neither can Cheng Xiao."
Long Yingxue discovered that she could no longer communicate with her adopted older sister.
Just as she was about to strike again to kill him, she felt a familiar pressure emanating from the Dragon Palace.
Upon feeling the oppressive aura, the dragons gathered directly above the Dragon Palace lowered their bodies and prostrated themselves.
Ao Shuang, having found a powerful backer, exclaimed with delight, "Father!"
"Xue'er, you have been away from home for many years and have not returned. Now that you are finally willing to come back and reunite with your family, your mother and I miss you very much." The voice came from the Dragon Palace, and it was full of exhaustion.
Upon hearing these words, Long Yingxue felt an overwhelming rage before any fear.
He actually dared to say, "Your mother and I miss you very much!"
Didn't her mother also die at his hands?
The events of that year are still vivid in her mind. After returning to the place, those things that she had buried deep in her heart became even clearer.
Ao Shuang was the executor back then. It was her good sister who personally pulled out her dragon tendons, plucked out her teeth, peeled off all the scales on her body, and then threw her directly into the territory of the human race to wait for death.
And her so-called "father" tacitly approved of all of this.
Long Yingxue couldn't understand why her father, who had once doted on her, would watch her be wrongly accused.
He believed Ao Shuang when she said she had betrayed the Dragon Clan, and then allowed Ao Shuang to treat her as a traitor to the Dragon Clan.
Her mother, Ying Hanyan, was the Frostbird of the Northern Demon Clan. She had wanted to escape with her, but the dragons tore off her wings and removed all her immortal bones. Her blood stained the sea red, and she eventually bled to death.
It was clearly her good father who killed her mother with his own hands, yet now he says, "Your mother and I miss you very much."
How ridiculous?
Although Long Yingxue's heart was filled with anger, she remained calm. If she could not kill her father, she would not be able to rescue Cheng Xiao.
She had just broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and her foundation was unstable.
Her father was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage from the moment she was born.
"Father! The traitor Ao Xue has returned! Kill her quickly! She colluded with the human race to try and destroy our dragon clan." Ao Shuang once again began to distort the truth.
But the Dragon King seemed not to hear.
His dragon god slowly emerged from the dragon palace, murmuring, "Xue'er, Xue'er, you've finally returned, finally willing to come back and see your father."
Upon seeing the Dragon King, Long Yingxue was so frightened that she took a few steps back while floating in the air.
The Dragon King was enormous, and he originally had pale golden scales, but most of those scales have now turned into eyeballs!
Those eyeballs weren't covered by eyelids, and they were even moving around, as if they were alive!
On the dragon's belly, large patches of red flesh and blood were covered, with tentacles wriggling on the flesh and blood.
Long Yingxue was shocked by the scene before her. It was completely different from the Dragon King she remembered, and this strange feeling filled her with fear.
What exactly happened during the years she was gone?
Long Yingxue looked at Ao Shuang, but saw fanaticism in her eyes, as if this was the normal Dragon King.
In the few breaths of her shock, the Dragon King's enormous body completely crawled out of the Dragon Palace, blotting out the sky.
"Xue'er, Xue'er..." The Dragon King kept murmuring, "You are my favorite daughter. Over the years, I have really missed you. Every time I see your dragon tendons, it is as if I see you. My head always hurts. Only when I hold your dragon tendons and your mother's immortal bones can I feel a little better."
"You've finally decided to come back and see your father again."
"You seem to be..."
"It seems like you've grown new tendons!"
There was no sadness left in the last sentence.
All that's left is fervor.
