The Dragon Emperor's Hard-Luck Family
Seeing the Dragon Emperor's sincerity, Xu Xingyu vaguely remembered a small part of the original story and gestured for the Dragon Emperor to continue. If things were really as he thought, then helping the Dragon Emperor wouldn't be a problem.
After all, in his memory, the Dragon Emperor's family had suffered a lot. One dragon egg was stolen by a traitorous Frost Dragon, and the other dragon egg encountered problems during hatching, preventing it from hatching normally.
Xu Xingyu couldn't directly help with the former, because the dragon egg had already been taken by Lie Yan and was intended to be Ji Dong's future mount. As for the latter, he should still have a way to help.
Just as Xu Xingyu had expected, the Dragon Emperor bowed to Xu Xingyu with a solemn expression and said, "I hope you can help my daughter hatch."
Could you explain the specifics?
"Alas, this is all due to the injustice of fate upon our family," the Dragon Emperor sighed. "Although my ancestors all descended from the purest lineage of the six primordial dragons, commonly known as the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, it is precisely because our Dragon Emperor possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary dragons that our reproductive capacity is inferior to that of ordinary dragons."
"Tens of thousands of years have passed since I succeeded to the throne of the previous Dragon Emperor, and I only have two children, born to my two wives, the Diamond Dragon King Yilina and the Fire Dragon King Vanessa. Vanessa's child was stolen by our Dragon Clan's traitor Bing Shuang when it was still an egg and its whereabouts are still unknown. Only Yilina's child is still abandoned in our Sanhe Mountain Range."
"However, another unexpected event occurred with Yilina's child: her bloodline mutated at birth, and the eggshell that should have cracked open became inexplicably stronger, preventing my child from hatching successfully."
"I once asked the Earth Dragon Ancestor for help, but even he had no solution. According to him, forcibly breaking the shell with an external attack would not only harm our child, but also leave irreversible sequelae."
Xu Xingyu agrees with the idea of Earth Dragon Ancestor. It's like an egg incubating; no outsider should help the chick break the shell. Doing so could easily cause the chick to be born with congenital deficiencies, and it might even die a few days after birth.
That's why Xu Xingyu didn't directly say she would definitely solve it. Instead, she replied to the Dragon Emperor, "I might have a solution, but I must first see the dragon egg in person. Only after seeing it can I make the most reasonable judgment."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor said with a hint of gratitude, "Thank you, successor. Please allow me to lead you into our Five Elements lineage's Dragon Valley."
Led by the Dragon Emperor, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi finally arrived at the deepest part of the Sanhe Mountain Range, the gathering place of all pure-blooded light dragons, Dragon Valley.
Upon arriving at Dragon Valley, the Dragon Emperor led them directly to his palace, where five female dragons were waiting.
Sensing that all of them had an average cultivation level of Tenth Rank and each possessed one of the Yin Five Elements elements, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi knew that these five were the Dragon Emperor's five wives, and also the Dragon King symbolizing the five elements they possessed.
The five Dragon King were overjoyed to see the Dragon Emperor return, but they were soon puzzled by the two people beside the Dragon Emperor who resembled humans Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi. The reason they were considered to resemble humans was because both of them exuded an extremely strong dragon aura. Although they had restrained it, it was still perceptible to anyone with sufficient strength.
The Dragon Emperor quickly introduced Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi's identities, explaining that Xu Xingyu was the successor of the Dragon God, while Gu Qiuxi was his lover.
Upon hearing this Xu Xingyu immediately wanted to correct Gu Qiuxi, the Dragon Emperor, as he was just her sister. However, Gu Qiuxi, who was pleased with this introduction, stopped her, since in her opinion, it was only a matter of time before she became one of Xu Xingyu's lovers.
Xu Xingyu, having seen through Gu Qiuxi's little scheme, felt truly helpless and inwardly complained, "Wasn't you very aloof as Wang Qiu'er in the original novel? How come you're so aggressive now?"
Could it be that Wang Qiu'er's main personality traits in the original novel were inherited from Tang Wutong, that useless pretty face who only knew how to call her father?
If that's true, Tang San wouldn't be wrong to say that Wang Qiu'er is a part of Tang Wutong, because the moment she became Wang Qiu'er, the will of the Auspicious Beast was most likely directly possessed by Tang Wutong's Divine Sense.
Of course, only Tang San, who personally performed the surgery, probably knows the truth of the matter. It can only be said that the more one thinks about Tang San, the more infuriating it becomes.
Returning to the present, the Dragon King present were somewhat incredulous at the introduction of the Dragon Emperor. Although they had always adhered to the belief in the existence of the Dragon God, they had never received any evidence to prove its existence.
Even if the authenticity of this belief is unclear, it's something their Dragon Clan has maintained since its inception, and now, Dragon Emperor, you're telling them a human has become the successor of the Dragon God?!?
Where did this new kind of joke come from? If so, it's really not funny! How could a human possibly become the successor of the Dragon God?!
However, given the powerful aura of Xu Xingyu's Dragon God Bloodline and the fact that the Dragon Emperor confirmed Xu Xingyu's recognition by their Dragon Clan's sacrificial artifacts, the five Five Elements Dragon King had no choice but to acknowledge Xu Xingyu's identity, no matter how unwilling they were.
Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor quickly revealed that Xu Xingyu might have a way to solve the two major problems facing their Dragon Clan, which diverted their attention from the fact that Xu Xingyu was the Dragon God Inheritor.
The most excited among them was the Diamond Dragon King, the Dragon Emperor's principal wife. She had been troubled by the fact that her child was trapped in his egg in this life, and the only solution she could think of was to find a suitable human and form Mount Partner Contract with him.
Finding a suitable human is not so easy, because this method only has a possibility of successful hatching, not a guarantee. In addition, their child inherits the proud characteristics of the couple as Dragon Clan, and ordinary people may not necessarily gain her approval.
Therefore, even if they find some decent humans, these humans either don't want to waste their once-in-a-lifetime Mount Partner Contract, or their daughters don't approve of the other party.
So, upon learning that Xu Xingyu might have a better solution, all doubts about whether he was impersonating the Dragon God Inheritor vanished! The most important thing now was whether their child could be born successfully!
