"Mom, I never thought that this would be true."
This was like an illusory dream, stranger than any illusion she had ever experienced. But the less true it is, the more factual it is.
The mother floated over, and her hand gently pulled Cheng Yuan's wrist. Although she didn't touch it, Cheng Yuan was pulled towards the keel by her.
"Yan'er, mother doesn't have much time left. There are some things that mother has to tell you."
Cheng Yan was slightly stunned: "What do you mean, time is running out? Mother, you -"
Mother looked back, her beautiful face full of nostalgia, she said softly: "Mother has died, and now all you see is a remnant soul. In order to wait for you, this remnant soul has persisted for thousands of years, and now Finally, when you return, mother can finally rest."
When Cheng Yan heard this, his heart felt heavy and his eyes were red with sadness.
"Don't cry, mother hopes to still see your smiling face in the last moment." Mother reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The smile on her face was bright and bright.
Cheng Yan suppressed the sadness in his heart and raised a smile: "Okay, mother. I hope you will always remember my smile. No matter what, I will never let you down."
Her mother was pleased and took her close to the dragon bone.
"This dragon bone belongs to my mother."
Cheng Yan was shocked and reached out to gently touch the keel. A warm and familiar breath came from the keel, and some broken memories were transmitted to her mind through the keel.
It was a paradise.
A vast ocean, a group of carefree monsters, a dragon soaring in the nine heavens, going up to the sky and into the sea, a group of monsters practicing on their own, a group full of vitality...
"Yan'er, what you see is the demon world of the past."
Cheng Yan only saw a few fragments, and she was fascinated by it. That place was mysterious and peaceful, and all the monsters were not as ferocious and murderous as the monsters today.
"Mother, can the demon world be reopened?"
"Naturally, as the young master of the demon world, you have been burdened with the responsibility of reopening the demon world from the day you were born. After so many years, the demon clan has been waiting for you. You must work hard to grow, and don't let them wait. Their hope turns to endless despair."
"Mother, how do I reopen the demon world?"
Mother waved her hand, and a huge formation appeared on the keel.
"Before my mother died, I set up this great formation. When you reach the level of spiritual transformation, you will have the ability to open it and take out my mother's dragon bones. My mother will lead you to find the real entrance to the demon clan. When that time comes, you need to use blood as a sacrifice to reopen the door to the demon world."
She said and handed a fist-sized jade bead to Cheng Yuan's palm.
"This object is called the Magic Dragon Pearl. In the days to come, if you want to transform into a dragon, you can use it." As she said this, she led Cheng Yuan to the front of His Highness Qi.
"Of course, if you want to become the real young master of the demon clan, you have to take out the dragon bones from his body and return the dragon body to you. Then you will be the real young master of the demon clan. By blood alone, the entire demon clan will surrender to you. "
Cheng Yan knew that the demon world emphasized bloodline suppression and respected strength.
"If I take the dragon bone, what about His Highness Qi? What will happen to him?" Cheng Yan looked at His Highness Qi's face and asked hesitantly.
Mother smiled slightly: "It was your dragon body that protected him back then, and it became one with it because of the life and death contract. If you took the dragon bone, he would only die. Yun'er, what do you think? You have to take the dragon bone. ?”
A dead end?
Cheng Yan shook his head repeatedly; "Mother, there is no need. Your Highness Qi saved my life, and I will not retaliate for kindness."
Without His Highness Qi, she wouldn't know how long it would take for the dragon egg to hatch. Maybe the egg would become a fossilized dragon egg.
"Yuan'er, do you really don't want to? He is here now. As long as you want, mother can take out the dragon bone for you." Mother said seductively: "By then you will regain your dragon body and you will be able to control the wind and rain and fly to the nine heavens. Become a dragon." True dragon, you can immediately open the door to the demon world, revive the demon clan, and restore the demon world to its former glory."
Think about it, it's really arrogant and arrogant.
Cheng Yan really wanted to become a free dragon.
But, just think about it.
Cheng Yan shook his head: "For so many years, His Highness Qi has been trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, and all the suffering and sins he has suffered are all for me, the real young master of the demon world.
I once thought that he opened the demon tower because he wanted to revive the demon world and save the demon clan. But I didn't expect...
Although he is not the real young master of the demon world, what he does is what a young master of the demon world should do. On the contrary, I have never done anything for the demon clan in all these years.
Mother, if I take back the dragon bone for my identity as the young master of the demon clan, the demons in the demon world may have to surrender to me for the sake of my bloodline, but they will definitely look down on me in their hearts and will not sincerely accept me. "
Mother nodded and smiled: "Yuan'er, you have grown up."
Cheng Yuan shook her head. Maybe she had been a half-demon for so many years, so she didn't care whether he was a human or a demon. Nor would he kill His Highness Qi in order to become the young master of the demon world.
"You did the right thing. If you take the dragon bone, he will definitely die. When the life and death contract takes effect, you will also die together."
Cheng Yan took a breath: "Mother, it turns out you are testing me."
Fortunately, she was not that ambitious, otherwise they would have been doomed today if her mother had taken the lead.
"Yuan'er, you are determined and perseverant. Even if you don't have a dragon body, my mother is proud of you. If you really choose to take his life in order to restore your identity, the young master of the demon world with such a heart will not be a blessing to the demon clan. "
A few simple words made Cheng Yuan more truly realize that the person in front of her was not only her mother, but also the demon queen of the entire demon world. What she did was for the entire demon world, not just for her, the young master of the demon world.
Cheng Yan took the Magic Dragon Ball and said, "Mother, I have thought about it. Even if I cannot become the young master of the demon world, I am willing to work hard to reopen the door to the demon world."
As soon as he finished speaking, another tip bag appeared in front of him.
"This is?"
"Actually, there is still room for change in this matter. When you can truly plan to be the young master of the demon world, you can open this bag of tips. Maybe one day you will get what you want." My mother looked at her meaningfully. She looked at His Highness Qi again.
Cheng Yuan put the tips away casually. Now she was not interested in the identity of the young master of the demon world.
"Yan'er, mother is very happy to see you here again. In the future, mother will no longer be able to accompany you. You must grow up quickly, the entire demon clan is still waiting for you..."
As he spoke, the figure of the beautiful woman in front of him faded.
Cheng Yan was frightened. This time was different from before. She could feel the remaining souls in front of her dissipating.
"Mother, don't leave!"
"Mother will never leave you, she will always be here to accompany you..." Her voice gradually faded away, and her figure turned into dots of starlight, completely dissipating above the keel.
Cheng Yan slowly leaned down and knelt in front of the dragon bone, feeling very sad.
Although he only had a few contacts with his mother, her presence made Cheng Yuan feel the warmth of family affection and warmed up this cold Longtan.
