Chapter 159
Yang Chen could feel the weak life signs of the fetus in Empress Yanâs abdomen. At the time in the cave, his cultivation had only just reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Back then, he had merely refined the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, without yet fusing with the Dragon Spine, nor had he embarked on the path of body cultivation. As for Empress Yan, she had just reconstructed her physical body and barely had any cultivation.
So, the fetus was only an ordinary fetus. If it were a normal ten-month pregnancy, there would naturally be no issues. However, Empress Yan had sealed the fetusâs growth. This greatly increased the demands on the fetusâs constitution.
âYou, how do you plan to strengthen her bloodline?â Feeling Yang Chenâs hand moving on her abdomen, Empress Yanâs heartbeat quickened, and she couldnât help but ask.
Yang Chen opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said, âMy physique has greatly improved compared to the time in the cave! Back then, although I had refined the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, I hadnât fully merged with it. But now, my physique is incomparable to what it was then!â
Hearing Yang Chen mention the time in the cave, Empress Yan couldnât help but recall that scene. Yang Chen behind her. Doing that to her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
âAlright, alright, just get to the point!â Empress Yan said impatiently.
âItâs simple: I just need to infuse my essence blood into the fetus, and that will strengthen her bloodline!â
Upon hearing this, Empress Yan immediately frowned.
âThatâs your solution? Do you know how fragile a fetusâs life is? If Iâm not mistaken, you practice body cultivation, and your physical body has reached the Soul Transformation Realm! A single drop of your essence blood contains enough energy to melt a Golden Core cultivator! How could a fetus withstand that?â Empress Yan replied, clearly displeased.
She had expected Yang Chen to come up with a better idea, but instead, it was this absurd suggestion. She immediately swatted his hand away from her abdomen.
âSenior Empress Yan, you donât understand! While itâs true that my essence blood contains immense energy, you can remove the excess energy and leave only the essence of the bloodline! This bloodline essence will enhance the fetusâs constitution! Moreover, since the fetus carries my bloodline, it will not reject this essence at all!â Yang Chen explained seriously.
The blood of the Primordial Divine Dragon had endless uses. One drop of essence blood could enhance Feng Yunhaiâs potential and activate his Ice Phoenix bloodline. It could also help Linglongâs True Dragon Soul reconstruct her dragon body.
The fetus, being of his own bloodline, could naturally improve its constitution, and there would be no need for any refiningâit would fuse directly.
âReally? Can the bloodline essence in just one drop of your essence blood be that effective?â Empress Yanâs beautiful eyes were still filled with doubt and disbelief.
âSenior Empress Yan, as a powerful fire cultivator, you must have a deep understanding of bloodlines and various constitutions! You can feel it for yourself!â
As Yang Chen spoke, he immediately produced a drop of essence blood. The essence blood was golden, suspended at his fingertip, like a drop of golden crystal. It radiated a golden glow, and a faint golden dragon shadow coiled around it, occasionally letting out a low dragonâs roar.
This sight left Empress Yan stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the golden essence blood suspended at Yang Chenâs fingertip.
Her bewitching face was full of shock.
Although it was just a drop of essence blood, the divine pressure it emitted far surpassed any constitution she had ever encountered. Moreover, a golden dragon shadow circled above the blood.
âAre you of the True Dragon Blood?â After a long time, Empress Yan finally spoke, but her voice was full of uncertainty.
âTrue Dragon? I donât know, maybe!â
Having fused with the spine of the Primordial Divine Dragon, Yang Chen couldnât be considered a pure-blooded dragon, but his physique was no weaker than a so-called True Dragon.
After all, Linglong was a pure-blooded True Dragon in her previous life, yet she was still extremely wary of his bloodline pressure.
Empress Yan took the golden essence blood from Yang Chenâs fingertip and stared at it deeply.
Finally, she nodded and said, âFine, letâs try it your way! But if anything happens to the fetus, Yang Chen, I wonât let you off!â Empress Yan said coldly.
She then sat down cross-legged and began to refine the golden essence blood.
As a once-powerful fire cultivator, Empress Yan naturally had considered Yang Chenâs words and believed them to some extent. Otherwise, she wouldnât take this risk.
The golden essence blood was refined within her body, and dragon roars echoed. A golden dragon shadow coiled around her body. Moments later, the golden dragon shadow entered Empress Yanâs body.
An hour later, Empress Yan opened her eyes, unable to hide the joy in her gaze.
âDid it work?â Yang Chen asked from the side.
âYes.â Empress Yan nodded slightly and stood up.
A golden light flickered faintly in her abdomen.
Yang Chen placed his hand on it.
Empress Yan instinctively wanted to avoid him, but for some reason, she hesitated and ultimately didnât move away, allowing him to place his hand on her abdomen.
Feeling the strong vitality of the fetus, Yang Chen knew that it had indeed worked. The bloodline essence from his essence blood had been absorbed by the fetus. Now, the child had a trace of the Divine Dragon bloodline.
Although it was thin, the constitution of the fetus had significantly improved.
âThank you!â Empress Yanâs red lips parted slightly.
Yang Chen, however, responded seriously, âSenior Empress Yan, thereâs no need for thanks! After all, this is my child, and as her father, I should contribute!â
As he spoke, Yang Chen gently stroked Empress Yanâs flat abdomen.
Empress Yanâs delicate body trembled, and a faint blush appeared on her pale face. Her true energy fluctuated slightly, but she didnât push Yang Chen away.
Seeing this, Yang Chenâs lips curled into a smile.
He then produced ten more drops of golden essence blood.
âWhat are you doing?â Empress Yan asked, puzzled.
âSenior Empress Yan, I know youâre still angry about what happened in the cave. But this is also my child, and I must take responsibility for her! These ten drops of essence blood can be refined again at different stages of her growth, and their essence can be infused into her bloodline! Also, by applying the blood to your eyes, youâll gain the ability to see through all things, similar to my Divine Dragon Golden Eyes! Consider this a small token of compensation from me!â Yang Chen spoke in a heavy tone.
But to Empress Yan, his words caused her heart to tremble slightly.
She couldnât help but glance deeply at Yang Chen, then at her own abdomen.
Finally, she whispered, âYou ⊠from now on, donât call me Senior Empress Yan anymore!â
