Ya Lin'er's Decision

The Earth Dragon Ancestor was stunned upon seeing her face, and even the Dragon Emperor, who had been watching the show, was immediately impressed. Although Ya Lin'er's beauty was not as good as Gu Qiuxi's, Ya Lin'er was by no means inferior.

In the original novel, Ya Lin'er's beauty was hailed as second only to the female protagonist, Lie Yan, making her a stunning beauty who would be quite appealing to anyone just by looking at her appearance.

As for why they didn't make similar moves against Gu Qiuxi, who surpassed Ya Lin'er, it was purely because Gu Qiuxi possessed a powerful Dragon Clan bloodline second only to Xu Xingyu. Furthermore, the fact that Xu Xingyu's identity Dragon God Inheritor had been confirmed made these two old dragons hesitant to harbor any such thoughts towards Gu Qiuxi.

Gazing at Yalin'er's elegant face, Griffin, the ancestor of the earth dragons, stared intently into his enormous eyes, his reminiscence of the past completely undisguised. With his excited expression, his massive body trembled even more violently.

"So alike, so very alike! Child, you are as beautiful as your mother Ya Tianji. So many years, so many years! If I hadn't seen you, even though your mother was the love of my heart, I would have almost forgotten what she looked like after all these years. I never thought I would have the chance to see you again, child, my child, there's no doubt, you must be my daughter, Griffin's daughter!"

As the Earth Dragon Ancestor reminisced about his past with his wife, he unconsciously began to recount that story.

Although Xu Xingyu's memory of the original novel was still somewhat vague and he could only remember a small part of it, he could tell that the story told by the Earth Dragon Ancestor should be very similar to that of Zheng Tingrong in his original work.

Therefore, he didn't offer any comment on the love between the Earth Dragon Ancestor and Ya Tianji. After all, he wasn't from that era. Even though the plot was a bit too melodramatic and love-obsessed, it was still relatively normal compared to the stories in other Douluo Galaxy planes.

After the Earth Dragon Ancestor finished telling his story, he looked directly at Ya Lin'er and said, "Child, I don't know if she truly loved me, but whether she did or not, I will never regret loving her. Furthermore, being able to see my child in my lifetime is a blessing from heaven! If possible, could I speak with you alone? I know that having never known of your existence, I may not have the right to speak with you, but I still want to spend time with my child, and I want to know what happened after my beloved left."

Ya Lin'er did not directly answer the words of the Earth Dragon Ancestor. Her past memories had been completely awakened, and she had thoroughly recalled everything from her past.

Her father was the Earth Dragon Ancestor, the head of the six primordial dragons of the Five Elements Plane, while her mother, Ya Tianji, was the source of all human divination techniques and one of the key figures in establishing the Magic Master System.

Although her mother approached her father with ulterior motives, the letter she left before her death stated that her greatest happiness in life was falling in love with the Earth Dragon Ancestor. Even though her cultivation was destroyed as a result, and she could only slowly wait for death, she had no regrets.

It was precisely because she was moved by her mother's love for her father that she, despite not even having reached the Supreme, insisted on going to the East Sea to find the Tenth Rank Demon Soldier Mad Saber Fish, ultimately ending up Ice Seal.

But now that she has actually met her father, she doesn't know what to do. Should she rebuke him for causing her mother's death, or should she be moved by his loyalty to her mother?

It's important to know that from the day she was born, her mother suffered such severe trauma that she died at the moment of her birth due to extreme weakness.

Therefore, she had never seen her mother since birth; everything about her mother came from her mother's teacher, who told her this before she passed away.

Rationally speaking, even if I knew about my mother's past, I shouldn't have acted so impulsively. So why did she do it? Why???

Ya Lin'er was completely confused about what she should do. Her once rosy complexion began to turn pale, and she unconsciously mumbled incoherent words. What was Ya Lin'er supposed to do?

Just then, the voice that had always given her warmth and guidance rang out again. Xu Xingyu looked at Ya Lin'er with a solemn expression and comforted her, "If you don't know what to do, then first think about your original intention. Why did you risk your life to save your father despite your lack of strength? Was it because you were moved by your parents' love? Or were you driven to despair by that cruel story and wanted to end things in this way? Perhaps it was all of those things, or perhaps none of them. But regardless of whether you had other deeper reasons back then, your actions still showed that you wanted to understand them, right?"

Yes, even though she had never met her parents, she always longed for them. Why did they leave her? Why couldn't she be with her parents like other children?

Because she had these thoughts, she wanted to learn more about her parents after learning about their situation.

Looking at her father's face, which was full of affection and expectation, she now seemed to know what she, as the daughter of the Earth Dragon Ancestor and Ya Tianji, should do.

Ya Lin'er, fighting back tears, sobbed uncontrollably, "Mommy loves you."

"What, what did you say?" The Earth Dragon Ancestor was completely stunned. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. At this moment, his body was prostrate, and his huge dragon head was staring straight at Ya Lin'er. Large tears were flowing from his golden dragon eyes.

The question that had troubled him for so many years finally had an answer: she loved him!

With tears in her eyes, Ya Lin'er recounted her story, along with the letter her mother had left her, to everyone present.

After hearing Ya Lin'er's story, the Earth Dragon Ancestor finally had his past knots untied. Now, he had nothing left to cherish, except for being a good father to his daughter.

The Earth Dragon Ancestor turned to Xu Xingyu was present, and said, "If possible, I would like to speak privately with my daughter. I know that Your Excellency the Inheritor may need my help, but I have not seen my daughter for countless years, and I can no longer focus on anything else."

Xu Xingyu expressed her understanding and responded, "It's okay. When such a joyous occasion as the reunion of father and daughter happens, we should spend more time with our daughter. Sometimes, the time spent with family is the most precious time."
