Ice-Fire Twin Arm Bones, Father

The Ice Dragon King scraped a finger against her chin.

"I don't care whether you're willing or not. You are parts split from the Dragon God, so you should inherit his child. Even if you're unwilling, Father is willing."

They could also be considered the Dragon God's legacy. In theory, the Golden Dragon King was their father. Calling the Silver Dragon King their mother was not wrong either, but their true mother was the Rainbow Dragon King.

Not the so-called Silver Dragon King.

"You... you two!"

Gu Yuena was about to explode with rage, grinding her back teeth as she wished she could roast these two and eat them.

"Husband, you can't acknowledge them!"

Gu Yuena hugged Shen Qingling with the fierce protectiveness of a mother guarding her young, glaring viciously at the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

Damn it. If she had known their souls still remained, she never would have come here.

"Look at you, getting worked up again!" The Ice Dragon King said helplessly. "Even if Father doesn't agree, we do. Besides, we have something even better to offer Father."

As soon as she spoke, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King raised their hands at the same time. Two beams of light flew from the enormous skeletons and hovered steadily before Shen Qingling.

On the left was the Ice Dragon King's entirely icy-blue left arm bone, emanating a chilling aura. On the right was the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone, crimson like blazing flames, with heat waves rolling from it. Both dragon bones radiated the pure pressure of Dragon King-level power, their quality far surpassing ordinary hundred-thousand-year spirit bones.

"Father, what do you think? This is a gift from us sisters upon meeting you." The Ice Dragon King smiled, her tone carrying a hint of ingratiation.

Shen Qingling laughed heartily, rather surprised. He had come for the Ice-Fire Dragon Bone in the first place, intending to take the skeletons and refine his own bloodline with them. He had not expected the residual souls of the two Dragon Kings to remain.

Yet Gu Yuena in his arms was clearly displeased, tightening her embrace around him.

"Lord Silver Dragon King, please let Father go first." The Ice Dragon King spoke evenly. "It is more important that Father absorbs the spirit bones. If you keep clinging to him like this, you'll only make things difficult for him."

Gu Yuena bit her lip. She was unwilling in every possible way, but she knew she could not delay important matters. Reluctantly, she released him and stepped back to Shen Qingling's side, though her gaze remained wary as she repeatedly swept it over the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King stepped forward together and gently placed the two Dragon King spirit bones in Shen Qingling's arms. The icy and fiery auras remained completely distinct, yet both carried immense power of origin.

"Father, pat our heads."

The Ice Dragon King blinked, her voice carrying a touch of coquettishness. Though the Fire Dragon King remained silent, she also turned slightly to the side, obvious anticipation hidden in her eyes.

Shen Qingling sighed helplessly. He felt that, despite surviving for ten thousand years, these two residual Dragon King souls had temperaments like children who had never grown up. He stretched out his hands and gently rubbed each of their heads.

The two immediately revealed satisfied expressions, then stepped back in unison and stopped pestering him.

Gu Yuena felt stifled as she watched from the side. She pressed her lips together, her fingers tightening slightly. Clearly, she was her husband's rightful wife, but she also knew that important matters came first. She could only swallow her anger and turn her face away, deciding that what she did not see could not bother her.

Shen Qingling gave it no more thought. He sat cross-legged upon the sand and stones at the bottom of the lake, placed the two dragon bones before him, and activated the power of the Golden Dragon King bloodline. A pale golden glow spread from his body, steadily enveloping the ice and fire dragon bones.

The dragon bones slowly merged into his body, transforming into one blue and one red stream of pure energy. They surged through the meridians in his arms and began slowly fusing with his Golden Dragon King bloodline.

"You two had better behave yourselves!"

Gu Yuena stared seriously at the pair. Tang San alone was already enough, and now there were the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King too. Was she supposed to live like this?

Getting pregnant was imminent. It was necessary to use the dragon clan's secret technique, the Dragon Fetal Gestation Art!

As long as they did it enough times, the chances of pregnancy could be greatly increased. And if she locked her husband in a secret chamber and battled him fiercely every day, the effect would be even better.

Unfortunately, she could not do that. Her current situation was passive, not proactive.

After chasing him for ten years, she had finally gotten him. Yet after less than a year of newlywed bliss, others were going to interfere again.

"Give it a rest. We have minds of our own too."

The Ice Dragon King was not afraid of Gu Yuena.

After staying underwater for a full day, the icy-blue radiance around Shen Qingling finally began to recede. The Ice-Fire Dragon Bone had completely fused into his arms.

The meridians in both arms had widened severalfold. A mere twitch of his fingers could draw upon the power of frost and blazing fire, while both his physical strength and spirit power foundation rose to another level.

The Golden-Silver Dragon Ring on Gu Yuena's finger grew faintly warm. She could clearly sense the surging power within her husband's body, as well as the delight hidden deep within his mind. She first sighed in relief upon confirming that the absorption had gone smoothly, but then her cheeks suddenly flushed.

An uncontrollable thought surfaced in her mind: the dragon bones had tempered the muscles, bones, blood, and qi throughout his entire body, even strengthening his internal organs. Did that mean... he could last longer in that regard too? Her husband had always said he recovered quickly, but every time, he could not endure her torment for long before begging for mercy.

Now that he had the origin power of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King supporting him, perhaps he could last much longer. The more she thought about it, the clearer the thought became. Even her ears began to burn, and she hurriedly turned away, afraid that the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King would notice something was off.

The Ice Dragon King raised a brow as she watched Gu Yuena's suddenly reddened profile, somewhat puzzled. Lord Silver Dragon King had been so aggressive just moments ago. Why had she suddenly become shy?

Though curious, she did not dare ask, lest she provoke the other woman into exploding again. The Fire Dragon King remained as taciturn as ever, but her gaze toward Shen Qingling became even more reverent. To fuse two Dragon King spirit bones without the slightest obstacle—such purity of bloodline truly proved he was their father.

The next moment, Shen Qingling slowly opened his eyes. Blue and red gleams flashed through them before they returned to normal. He stood and stretched his arms, his bones emitting a series of crisp pops as a sense of unrestrained power radiated from his entire body.

"The absorption went very smoothly." He walked to Gu Yuena's side and raised a brow at her flushed cheeks. "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

"Nothing." Gu Yuena stubbornly turned her face away, her voice slightly unnatural. "Hurry up and go ashore. Xiao San and Xiao Wu are still waiting above. Don't keep them waiting too long."

Shen Qingling smiled but did not expose her little thoughts. He turned to the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. "Do you plan to remain here, or come with us?"

The Ice Dragon King immediately said, "Of course we're following Father! Our residual souls are attached to the dragon bones. Staying by Father's side will allow us to slowly nourish ourselves. It's far better than being trapped at the bottom of this spring."

The Fire Dragon King nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then enter my sea of consciousness. When there is a chance, I'll restore both of your divine souls."

The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King nodded, but they still told Shen Qingling their names.

"Father, my name is Bing Li. You can call me Li'er from now on."

"Father, my name is Huo Yu. You can call me Yu'er from now on."

The two transformed into streams of light and entered Shen Qingling's sea of consciousness.

Though Gu Yuena did not want this, there was nothing she could do.

Taking Shen Qingling's hand, the two swam toward the shore.
