Chapter 801 “The Essence Blood of the Ancient Dragon (2)”
Longyu did not give a response to her husband’s word. Instead, she raises a smirk and headed in the direction of everyone else.
……
Due to the depths of the ocean water, there aren’t much light capable of penetrating down underneath. Even so, there’s just enough of the sun’s ray to glisten off of Bai Xiachen’s cute little face when he’s sitting down.
“Little guy, are you really not wanting to live?” The teenager eventually came back to his senses due to being overwhelmed by the kid’s audacity. Sweating and growing more anxious at the eagerly sound of incoming footsteps: “You three run first when they come, I will come up with an idea and stall them here.”
Blinking his big blue eyes, Bai Xiachen turns around in great surprise by what he’s heard. “Why are you helping us?”
The teen makes a bitter smile: “I have a vendetta with the dragons here, and… this little lass was forcibly brought here by them. Even if it’s only to ruin Longyu’s plan, I will still save her.”
This time the little steambun didn’t speak – a rare thing considering his character – and instead leaned that chin against his hand in contemplation.
Clack Clack Clack!
Very soon, a group of people, both elderly and young, had come running over.
“Dai Dai!” The first elder went ghostly white at the sight of Dragony holding hands with the strange boy. “Hurry Dai Dai, come over to grandpa’s side.”
Rather than obeying, Dragony shook her head and remained firm to the spot: “I am not Long Dai Dai.”
“What did you say?” The senior turned stiff at the answer, his face showing an ugly expression like he’s going to faint or throw up. “Dai Dai, please don’t scare your grandpa here. Come to my side so I can protect you.”
“Good grandfather, I am really not your granddaughter.” Pulling the younger lass behind herself out to show everyone, Dragony intends to let them all see who’s the true one. “My name is Dragony and my friend here is the real Long Dai Dai. Earlier when we were doing the blood test to check on my lineage Longyu had swapped out Dai Dai’s blood during the procedure, that’s why it came out positive.”
Shuddering at this revelation, the first elder then shifts his attention over to the indicated lass. In that instant, his pupils dilated inwards due to the shock of what he saw.
Close, they look so much alike! The little girl and my daughter-in-law look too much alike!
“Dai… Dai Dai? Are you Dai Dai?” the senior’s voice sounded shaky like he couldn’t believe reality. Stumbling forward, the first elder wanted to get closer so he could give the one a hug.
Perhaps the situation was too sudden, or perhaps the girl’s personality simply fell into the timid side, but Long Dai Dai didn’t meet what her grandfather wanted and instead scurried right behind Dragony in order to hide herself.
“I never had a name before…” Peering part of her head out, there’s a hint of hope and curiosity in the little girl’s eye: “But not long ago a bad woman wanted to catch me. She called me Long Dai Dai, that’s how I came to know my name. I also grew up without family. You… are you my grandfather?”
Bursting out into tears at this point, the first elder felt like someone’s ripped out his heart at knowing his poor grandchild’s been all alone through the years. “Good child, I’m your grandfather, I’m so sorry I haven’t found you sooner….”
And I’m so sorry for not recognizing you immediately. To think my foolish self could mistake someone else for you! And… and…. LONGYU!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, a burst of anger erupts out of the senior’s heart after remembering who’s the main cause for this mess. Literally spewing flames in his eyes: “Longyu, get over here this instant!”
The wretched woman and her husband had just arrived outside the place when she overheard this enraged voice in the air. Though slightly unsettled inside, Longyu still passed through the gathered crowd to come before her mentor.
