"This... this is..."
Long Jinyu was so shaken by the majestic but not oppressive breath that made his blood boil with joy that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"Dragon God One of the inheritance Soul Bone sets, Head Soul Bone." Yu gave the answer he expected but couldn't believe.
Dragon God Heritage Soul Bone! Set! Head!
These words made Long Jinyu dizzy. He automatically dragged out the "dog system" in his mind and cursed it a hundred times!
There is such a good thing, but you are hiding it without telling him! Are you worrying about those points again?! It's so boring!
"It... how old is it?"
Long Jinyu's voice was dry and she asked the question that concerned her most.
Produced by Dragon God, it must be a high-quality product. This age is definitely scary, right?
Yue shook his head gently. "My lord, this level of Soul Bone is already extraordinary and Soul Bone can be measured by the concept of years. It grows with you and carries the 'person' and 'authority' of Dragon God Crown. If you have to make an analogy..."
She pondered for a moment and gave an answer that made Long Jinyu's heart stop, "You can think of it as something that can grow...'million years' Soul Bone."
Hundreds, millions of years?!
Although I had expected that the Soul Bone matched with Dragon God would definitely exceed the specifications, when I heard the word "million years" with my own ears, Long Jinyu still felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of my head, and my fingers were trembling with excitement.
Those heaven-defying plug-ins that are standard equipment for the protagonists in fan fiction, he, he also wants to have it?! Or is it the orthodox inheritance of Dragon God!
"Then... does it have a name?" he asked almost holding his breath.
"Originally there was no specific name."
A glimmer of light belonging to an intelligent creature flashed in Yu's eyes, "But I searched the database and took your preferences into consideration and gave it a name--"
She read out word by word, clearly and solemnly:
"Dragon God Crown·Candlelight."
Dragon God Crown? Candlelight?!
Long Jinyu chewed on this name over and over again, feeling that every word hit my heart. It was majestic, domineering, mysterious, and had the meaning of shining brightly for eternity!
"Zhu... is it Zhulong's Zhu?" He raised his head suddenly, his eyes shining.
"Exactly."
The more he nodded, the more approval he expressed in his eyes, "Your Majesty is indeed smart and worthy of being a master of arts and sciences."
"A top student is not considered a top student~"
Long Jinyu scratched his head in embarrassment, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, "I just happen to... understand a little bit."
Having said that, the overwhelming pride and joy almost overflowed from every pore.
He fondled the inverse scale box and gazed at the nine-color brilliance of 'Candlelight' Soul Bone.
The tears on his face have not yet dried, but he is already smiling like a child who got his beloved toy.
In the end, he simply buried his head back in the warmer embrace, rubbed it back and forth, and let out a contented hum.
Yu's eyes were full of indulgent warmth. After he calmed down a little, he said warmly, "My lord, although this place is good, it is not the best place to absorb Soul Bone. I will take you to another place."
"Eh? Where are you going?" Long Jinyu looked up blankly.
Yu, however, gave it up and just smiled, "We'll find out later."
After saying that, while holding the two boxes firmly with Soul Power, she gently... picked him up from the waist, and it was still a standard princess hug.
Long Jinyu:"!!!"
His body froze instantly and his cheeks turned red.
"The more, the more... I can walk on my own..." He protested in a low voice, the tips of his ears turning red.
"You have just recovered from your injuries, but Soul Power has not recovered yet, so you should not act rashly~"
Yu's reasons were high-sounding, the arms holding him were as steady as mountains, and the emerald green halo was already rippling in front of him, turning into a light gate with ripples in the space.
"Close your eyes, don't be afraid." She whispered and stepped into the light door.
Long Jinyu only felt a slight spin. It was not darkness before his eyes, but countless radiant patterns of law flashing past, as if passing through some kind of soft barrier, without much discomfort. After a few breaths, he felt more and more stopped.
"You can open your eyes, Lord."
He slowly opened his eyes as instructed.
What comes into view is not the imaginary natural cave or gorgeous palace, but a huge space full of extreme technology and unknown mystery!
The silver-white streamlined walls undulate slightly as if they were alive, and there are countless translucent operating interfaces and data streams suspended in the air, shining with colorful light.
In the center of the space, the most eye-catching thing is the seven cylindrical cultivation chambers arranged side by side, like crystal coffins. The chambers are transparent, and the interior is filled with various colorful energy liquids. There are vaguely visible silhouettes of different shapes sleeping inside, exuding a terrifying aura.
There were many instruments and devices around him that he couldn't understand. Energy conduits were connected everywhere like blood vessels, forming a sophisticated, grand and futuristic super laboratory.
"This is...?"
Long Jinyu was so shocked that he almost forgot that he was still being held and looked around blankly.
"The independent space where Nine Dragon God Guards sleeps." Yu's voice echoed softly in the empty laboratory, "It is also marked by the main system as the 'system core auxiliary space'."
"System space?!"
Long Jinyu was stunned again, and then gritted his teeth. Okay! That "dog system"! It's too much to hide such a good place without telling him!
"My lord, look over there."
Yu turned slightly to the side, motioning him to look in the direction of the main console.
Long Jinyu followed her gaze.
I saw a tall, slender figure standing in front of the huge main console in the distance. She turned her back to them. She was dressed in silver-white clothing with smooth technological lines, which outlined a thrilling and perfect curve. Her waist was so slender that it was not even a handhold. Her long, silky silver hair spread down like a waterfall, flowing with a faint glow under the cold light of the laboratory.
Just a back view is breathtakingly beautiful, full of mystery and intellectuality.
"Who is...?"
Long Jinyu asked curiously, his heart beating a beat faster for no apparent reason, "Are you one of the Nine Guards too? This temperament doesn't look like a fighting type."
The corners of Yu's lips curved into a meaningful arc, and a trace of teasing flashed in his emerald eyes. "She? She's not Jiuwei. But..."
She paused deliberately, looked at Long Jinyu's increasingly curious expression, and then said slowly:
"I believe you, Lord, are absolutely familiar with me."
Familiar?
Long Jinyu Hearing this, he carefully looked at the silver-haired figure again. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that figure, that hair color, that inexplicable feeling... It really seemed like he had seen it somewhere before? A strange feeling of intimacy and familiarity came to his heart.
Just as he was thinking hard, the figure seemed to have finally finished handling the matter at hand, or had noticed their arrival, and turned around gracefully.
The overhead light from the laboratory just fell on her half-turned face, outlining the exquisite profile of her profile - those lines and curvatures were so similar to what Long Jinyu saw in the mirror every day, it was heart-stoppingly similar!
Then, the complete face was completely revealed in front of Long Jinyu.
Her silver hair flows like moonlight, but it is more of a clear ice silver than his hair color, with a calm luster. On top of her head, there is a pair of small and unique dragon horns, which are different from Yu's emerald dragon horns and have a light platinum color.
The most shocking thing is her eyes - they are also heterochromatic, but they are completely opposite to Long Jinyu's "left silver and right gold", "left gold and right silver"! The golden left pupil is like the molten sun, and the silver-white right pupil is like the bright moon of Ice Seal. The two are intertwined into a kind of inhuman magnificence and depth that sees everything.
This face seems to be a sublimated re-creation by the Creator based on the face of Long Jinyu. It lacks the softness of a boy and has a bit more divine precision and alienation, but the core charm is extremely familiar.
"Ah--!!!"
Long Jinyu's pupils shrank suddenly and his breathing completely stopped.
He suddenly buried his face into Yu's shoulder, his fingers tightly clenched the fabric behind her, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Yu only heard a muffled, almost broken breath coming from his arms, with an unbelievable confusion. "... how... it's you..."
