Chapter 777: Chapter 258: “Do you think that Dragon Cub’s dad would agree?”_4

“All right, fine, but will you call me ‘Dad’ then?”

“…”

As his words fell, the Dragon Clan Patriarch immediately fell silent, his face turning ugly. He did not pick up the thread of conversation, but instead turned his head to gaze once again in the direction of Xuantian State, while a burst of laughter rose from the group of trusted subordinates around him.

The Dragon Clan actually has a rather pronounced sense of hierarchy.

However, he had always been rather casual, often joking with his close subordinates, and there wasn’t too much of a distinct division of ranks. In fact, he didn’t want to be the Dragon Clan Patriarch; after all, he didn’t want to manage others, which sounded like a hassle.

But he didn’t want anyone else to become the Dragon Clan Patriarch, and he didn’t want anyone else to manage him either. So, in order not to be governed by others, he reluctantly became the Dragon Clan Patriarch. The old Clan Leader had tried to force him to undertake a task he truly did not want to do.

With no other choice, he had to defeat the Old Clan Chief in public, seizing the position to become the new Dragon Clan Patriarch.

It was then that the clansmen realized his true strength was so formidable, yet he had almost never lost his temper.

And this time, his visit—

—Was not only to rally a large number of Young Dragons for the Dragon Clan, but also to tentatively think about adopting a few sons.

Indeed.

He had no children of his own, and he had tried hard, but having kids really had nothing to do with effort. He had even attempted to plug up the lady’s chamber with things after coupling, for a full seven days and nights.

Preventing it from flowing back out.

He thought that this time there should be no problem, but when he opened the door on the eighth day, the indescribable smell made him realize for the first time how vinegar is fermented…

Perfect.

After that, he more or less gave up on himself completely, and had basically abandoned the idea of having offspring. But when he suddenly sensed so many Young Dragons surging up from the lower Continent to Xuantian State, he could no longer restrain his emotions.

His thoughts were actually similar to those of his subordinates.

The previous old man?

The strong one becomes the father!

The Young Dragons he was interested in were all his Dragon Cubs, and if anyone disagreed, well, he also didn’t mind adopting the Dragon Cub’s father as his son and adopting the Dragon Cub as his grandson.

That seemed even better.

In a snap, from a lonely old man to a three-generation family under one roof, all blissful—quite convenient.

But…

The Dragon Clan Patriarch stood suspended above the sea, looking out in the direction of Xuantian State with a flash of concern and confusion in his eyes.

Recently, that Chen Qiu’s reputation was indeed quite distinguished; he was at the peak of Unification Cultivation.

But, he clearly knew that it was almost impossible for him to pass the ‘First Grade Heavenly Tribulation’, the Heavenly Slaying Thunder Tribulation, even considering he possessed a reverse scale. The Dragon Clan naturally has an advantage over the Human Race when facing the Heavenly Tribulation.

This is a top-notch Heavenly Pride, one possessing both combat power and potential.

Chen Qiu had also run to the Vast Continent alongside the Xuantian Dragon Clan, and it was unknown whether the two had any contact. If there was contact, then his plan for this trip might be ruined.

Although he really wanted a son of his own, if the price was to clash with Chen Qiu, then he thought that having an adopted son was not very important after all.

Furthermore…

There was another matter that caused him great puzzlement.

He could sense that Xuantian State had many Young Dragons that had just come of age, but there were only a few giant dragons over a thousand years old, and this was unreasonable.

If it was the entire Dragon Clan of the Heavenly Continent moving up, it couldn’t possibly be that there were only a few giant dragons that gave birth to so many Dragon Cubs.

If it was just a part of the Dragon Clan moving up.

Then how could it be that the strong parents didn’t move up and instead sent their Dragon Cubs over?

Moreover, the Dragon Clan on the Xuantian Continent is a branch of the Dragon Clan on the Vast Continent; tens of thousands of years ago, due to some conflicts, they split from each other. However, this branch is ultimately the main one, with a larger population.

Their lineage has diminished, with not many clanspeople left, so how did this smaller offshoot manage to flourish?

What’s most important is…

He had been waiting here for nearly a year, and during this year, he distinctly sensed the birth of nearly 200 Dragon Pups falling to the ground with a sound. Yes, in this year, 200 more Dragon Pups had been added to Xuantian State.

Like a sow birthing piglets.

Litter after litter of them.

No, sows aren’t as quick as this.

Originally, he arrived excited, expectant, anxious, but as he waited nearly a year and sensed the birth of over 200 more Dragon Pups, he started to fall into confusion and began to doubt whether he had sensed incorrectly.

Could the Dragon Pups in Xuantian State be counterfeit members of the Dragon Clan, products of crossbreeding?

Perhaps akin to the existence of lizards.

Underneath a multitude of emotions, he waited here for nearly a year, desperate for the restrictions of the Heavenly State Continent to be lifted, so he could rush in and take all the Dragon Pups away.

Whether they are true bearers of the Bloodline or not.

He must personally see them and test their Bloodline Grade to know.

He could only sense them from afar, unable to perceive specific details.

…

“…”

On a lower continent of the Vast Continent.

Liu Zide sat expressionless, savoring his meal at a restaurant, calm and methodical, but the Taoist Sect Master sitting opposite him did not possess such composure and was nearly driven mad with impatience.

“Sir.”

The Taoist Sect Master said in an anxious tone, “It’s been almost two months, why hasn’t Elder come to pick us up? Wasn’t it agreed that we would be picked up every month? Nothing’s gone wrong, has it?”

“No.”

Liu Zide looked up at the Taoist Sect Master and then lowered his head again, casually saying, “If something had befallen the Sect Master, then the most likely explanation would be the sudden collapse of the upper continent of the Vast Continent. Other than that, I can’t think of any other reason.”

“But… But…”

The Taoist Sect Master got up from his seat and began pacing anxiously inside the room.

Indeed, he knew the likelihood of an issue was practically nonexistent.

He spoke as though this were the case, but in his heart, he harbored another possibility: could it be that Elder had forgotten about them? Yet he couldn’t voice this concern. After all, what kind of Cultivation did the Elder possess? How could someone of that Cultivation forget things like a mortal?

Such a doubt, if voiced, would be deemed as backbiting, a snare for gossip.

But worrying about the former was deemed as concern, not backbiting, but evincing a genuine care from the heart.

In truth—

He had a haunting suspicion that Elder had indeed forgotten about them.

He was eager to remind the Elder that his loyal subordinates were still collecting wealth for him on the lower continent and that it was time to bring them home. But having no means to contact the Elder, he could only wait anxiously in the restaurant as time slowly passed by.

“All here.”

The next moment!

A familiar voice suddenly rang out in the room, and then, without knowing when, the Elder had appeared in the restaurant’s private room, standing by the window, gazing out at the horizon, “I’ve got an idea. What would you say if I found an empty space and threw down a Unification Killing Move?”

“Would it help to make a name for myself?”
