“It’s a symbiosis of the bloodline, the connection between him and his host will not disappear completely after being cut apart.” Doctor Shen Tu said wearily, “You see, that little thing is still alive too.”

Was it alive? The curiosity rose in Jian Lin’s heart and he couldn’t help but take a step closer to the fetus – but just as he approached, the tiny creature suddenly opened its eyes and gazed at him with a deadly stare!

It was really alive! Jian Lin was shocked and immediately tried to retreat. However, the fetus’s eyes were like an ancient well full of dark blue water, and once their eyes met, he could not move away from them.

In a trance, he felt that the unborn child unexpectedly smiled at him. That smile was so innocent and inexplicably magical. Under that kind of gaze, Jian Lin couldn’t help but raise his hand, wanting to gently caress the baby’s face.

“Don’t touch!” In that instant, Doctor Shen Tu gasped out of breath.

Jian Lin could only feel a sudden sharp pain in his finger, as if he had been pierced by a needle. He subconsciously retracted his hand and surprisingly carried up the little fleshy baby – the unborn child, to his surprise, bit down on his finger!

“Watch out!” Elder Quan let out a stern shout and instantly raised his hand, snapping the fetus to the ground, “Back off… don’t touch it!”

The tiny child fell to the ground and emitted a wailing sound of pain, frowning and crying out with a voice as eerie as that of a dark night lord, causing cold sweat to break out as one was listening. Jian Lin’s senses snapped awake and he staggered back a step, lifting his hand to see that his index finger now bore teeth marks and two tiny cuts, with blood gushing out like a spring, and carrying an odd black aura!

“Come over here!” Next to him, Doctor Shen Tu picked up a small curved knife and squeezed his finger, sighing hopelessly, “It has to be taken care of immediately. Bear with it.”

In an instant, the knife glinted and plucked a piece of bloody flesh from his finger!

“…” Jian Lin stiffly held back a shout of pain and stared incredulously at the ground – it was this little thing that nipped his finger? Such a small fetus, but he actually grew teeth?!

As if aware that he was looking over, the baby suddenly stopped crying and grinned at him: a soft pink tongue fringed with white teeth, tiny as grains of rice.

Jian Lin winced backwards and couldn’t help saying, “What the hell is this… thing?”

“A strange fetus of sorts.” Doctor Shen Tu muttered in an unpleasant voice, “Such a wicked little thing nearly got me killed… I barely got here with it, and he still refuses to be put to rest.”

“Was it coming out from this child’s body?” Jian Lin frowned at the unconscious Sumo on the bed, completely unable to comprehend what was happening in front of his eyes, “What the hell is going on here? Is there still help for this child?”

Elder Quan nodded and turned his attention to Jian Lin, “This is why I called you here – I want you to take this child on a trip to Cangwu Abyss.”

“The Cangwu Abyss?” Jian Lin was stunned – of course he knew that it was the place where the Dragon God was imprisoned.

Seven thousand years ago, when the Great Xingzun Emperor marched into the sea and destroyed the Sea Kingdom, he used his heaven-shattering longsword to split the ground and imprisoned the Dragon God in the depths of the Abyss of Cangwu. How would he be able to bring the boy there, when the waters of the Yellow Spring were gushing out from that thousand-foot-deep underground, where no living person could ever enter?

Elder Quan commanded in a deep voice, “Go to the Cangwu Abyss and call for the Dragon God to appear.”

“Me?” Jian Lin was stunned, “With my poor abilities, how can I call upon the Dragon God?”

Elder Quan held out his hand and, in his palm, there was a jade ring, “Put this on.”

That jade ring resembled both ruby and lazuli, translucent, with a red tint faintly flowing inside, like a sealed blood stain, and was actually identical to the ancient jade Zhu Yan wore around at all times.

“Inside this, the blood of an ancient dragon from seven thousand years ago has been sealed.” Elder Quan explained, “There was originally a pair of these jade rings, one of which was given to the Left Envoy of the Restoration Army – that one has been used on this child already. Take the remaining one and go to the Abyss of Cangwu, shatter the ancient jade and drop the blood into the Yellow Spring, and you will be able to awaken the Dragon God and make him appear.”

“Good.” Jian Lin resolutely accepted the order, looked at the ancient jade in his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, asked again, “What if the Dragon God fails to appear?”

Elder Quan’s eyes went cold as he replied, “If the Dragon God refuses to save him, then that means this child is not the one we are looking for… Whether he survives or not is up to his own fate.”

Jian Lin shuddered for a moment, unable to say anything.

While they were discussing the matter, the young child on the mattress suddenly twitched, his small, hunched body trembled violently and he uttered a muffled scream that sounded like a cry calling for his “Ah-Niang”.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared,” Ruyi on the side hurriedly stood up and took the child into her arms, softly soothing, “Aunt Ruyi is here… don’t be scared.”

The child struggled in her arms for a moment and unexpectedly fell silent again.

Elder Quan sighed, “Ruyi took care of this child for a long time when he was still in the western city of Yecheng – this time, she will also go with you.”

“Yes.” Ruyi nodded and reached out to stroke the child’s soft hair, only to have the child, who had just calmed down, struggle again and call out vaguely for his sister.

“Calling out for sister again?” Elder Quan’s face suddenly went dark and his tone became glacial, “Is the sister in this child’s mouth the little princess of the Red Clan?”

“Yes, that princess has been very kind to the boy… going out of her way to brave the gunfire to send him to the doctor – that kind of affection is rare even among the people of the same clan.” Doctor Shen Tu sighed and didn’t add any further, “In short, there are also good souls among the Kongsang people.”

Hearing such words, Elder Quan’s face became even more stern.

“It’s really the misfortune of the Sea Kingdom.” There was a long silence, but Elder Quan sighed and spoke in a heavy tone, “It was already too late when we found the child… we shouldn’t have let him stranded in Yunhuang for so long, to the point that in the end, he even called the Kongsang person his sister!”

The three Elders remained silent and their faces were all rather downcast.

Doctor Shen Tu sighed and stretched his arms out, “Don’t worry about this. The most important thing now is to stabilize this child’s injuries and save his life – and well, speaking of this, my work here has been done, let’s settle the bill for this time!”

He extended his hand nonchalantly, “This time I have put my head on the line for your Restoration Army, and I cannot accept a penny less.”

“…” Elder Quan glanced at the dragon slayer who was only interested in the money, “Don’t worry about it.”

“I only want gold baht, no silver tickets, and no shark pearls.” With a wink of his eye, Doctor Shen Tu glanced aside at Ruyi and couldn’t resist adding another greasy comment, “If you don’t have that much gold, it’s okay, as long as Ruyi is willing to keep me company…”

As soon as his hand reached out, it was slapped to the side by Ruyi, who turned her head and pulled out a large, heavy bag of gold baht from a chest and threw it in front of him, “Here’s ten thousand baht! Why don’t you collect it and get out of here?”

“Hehe… worthy of being the flower leader of Yecheng, very generous.” Doctor Shen Tu strained to pick up the large bag of gold baht and smiled, “Unfortunately, I can’t go back to Yecheng any more these days – that little princess is probably searching for me everywhere if she discovered that the boy hadn’t returned to the Royal Palace.”

“We will have someone escort you to Resting Wind Shire to hide away from the storm for a while first.” Elder Quan said in a deep voice, arranging for things to follow, “If there is anything you need, we will contact you again later.”

“No, no! Please, do not come back after me again in this year.” Doctor Shen Tu counted the money with a smile on his face, but added with a serious tone, “The Kongsang people are on my heels, so it’s best to cut off any contact for the time being to ensure my safety – otherwise, if I’m caught, I won’t be able to survive the torture and will have to confess everything about you all.”

Elder Quan gave him a silent look with a vaguely murderous aura, while the other man just grinned playfully.

“Actually,” Doctor Shen Tu stood up and was ready to leave when he suddenly displayed a serious expression and sighed: “after watching you fight so many battles and suffer so many deaths over the years, even as a Kongsang person, I do hope that you will have your country restored soon.”

After a pause, he added, “But I’m an old man, so I guess I won’t live to see that day.”

Ruyi’s eyes reddened a little as she rushed to send the man out.

“I’m leaving, take care of yourself.” Doctor Shen Tu looked back at his old acquaintance, there was no greasiness in his tone, only sincerity, “I’m an old man, I don’t think I can expect to have a chance to kiss you in this life – after I die, you should also live a good life and remain as beautiful as you are for many centuries to come.”

“Go now, go,” Ruyi wept and smiled, hurriedly ushering him out of the camp, “go back to spending your money!”

When the doctor left, Elder Quan looked at the unconscious child and shook his head, “Since even Doctor Shen Tu couldn’t cure him, it looks like there’s no time to delay, we have to leave early.”

“Yes.” Jian Lin immediately exclaimed, “I will now take him to Cangwu Abyss and ask for help from the Dragon God!”

“Be careful,” Elder Quan exhorted, “don’t take the land route, sneak under the water from Mirror Lake, and from the Pass of Northern Mist along the Green Water you can reach the Nightmare Forest directly under Jiuyi Mountain – it is closer to the Abyss of Cangwu, and although the dense forest is full of Maiden Loh, however, they will not attack us sharks, and it is safer and quicker to take this route.”

“Yes.” The two people bowed at the command and received the order in unison.

“Sister… sister…” the child murmured in his coma even after being taken away from the Mirror Lake encampment, his thin body hunched into a ball, his tiny fingers spasming as if trying to get hold of something.

Yet, there was nothing that could be grasped.
