"A thousand years?! Does it really take that long? I cannot even fathom living that long!" Yuan exclaid after learning how long it’ll take for Lan Yingying to give birth to their child.
"Yes, it takes a really long ti for Divine Beasts such as myself to convert the ’seed’ that you gave into a child." Lan Yingying said.
And she continued, "It also differs for each species. So Divine Beasts may need a few hundred years while so may even need a few thousand years."
"If I recall correctly, Dragons and Phoenixes require the most ti for their child— about ten thousand years."
"T-Ten thousand years!?" Yuan was completely speechless.
Soti later, Lan Yingying returned to her human form.
"Once again, thank you for impregnating ." Lan Yingying lowered her head and bowed to him afterward.
The two of them proceeded to spend so more ti in the river before getting out and returning to the cabin.
"How was the waterfall? I hope you had fun." Grandpa Lan welcod them back with a massive grin on his face.
"Yes! It was really fun! It also felt really good! Thank you for recomnding that place!" Yuan said to him.
"It felt good, huh?" The smile on Grandpa Lan’s face widened even more.
"Grandfather, Yuan has agreed to impregnate , and I have already absorbed his blood." Lan Yingying said to him.
"What?" Grandpa Lan turned to look at her with wide eyes filled with shock, as he didn’t expect things to go so smoothly!
"Hahaha! This is great news! Welco to the family, young man!" Grandma Lan laughed out loud after hearing this news.
And she continued, "We’re going to have a feast tonight!"
However, Grandpa Lan continued to stand there with a dazed face. Even though he was the one who encouraged it the most, he truly didn’t think it would be successful.
"Since this is the case, you should definitely head to the Mystic Pagoda and try to leave this place with him." Grandpa Lan said to them a mont later.
"Huh? You want to leave the Mystic Realm?" Yuan turned to look at Lan Yingying with slightly wide eyes since this is his first ti hearing about it.
"Yes. After we deal with the demons, I plan to take you to the Mystic Pagoda to see if you can open it." Lan Yingying nodded.
"Does this an you know how I can beco the master of the Mystic Realm?"
Lan Yingying shook her head.
"I see... Then I will also try my best to find a way to help you leave." Yuan said.
Soti later, they sat around the table while Grandma Lan prepared for the feast.
"I just realized this, but you took off your mask. You’re a pretty handso fellow, and this is coming from a magical beast with different standards. Why do you feel the need to hide your appearance?" Grandpa Lan asked him.
"Ah, I’m not really hiding because of my appearance. I’m mostly hiding since there are a lot of people who want to know my identity." Yuan said.
"Understandable. You’re a very talented young man. There are bound to be countless people who are interested in you." Grandpa Lan nodded.
A mont later, Lan Yingying spoke, "By the way, Yuan, I have been wondering, do you have a special bloodline or sothing? Your blood... It’s not normal."
"What do you an?" Grandpa Lan was the first to speak, asking for more context.
"When I tasted his blood, it gave my body an unusual sensation; it was unlike anything I have experienced before, and even my cultivation base increased a little." Lan Yingying described her experience with Yuan’s blood.
"What? Is that true?" Grandpa Lan then turned to look at Yuan with his curiosity peaked.
"Young man... If you don’t mind, can I have a drop of your blood? I want to confirm my suspicions." He then asked.
Yuan nodded, "I don’t mind."
He then poked a small hole in his finger and retrieved a drop of his blood before handing it to Grandpa Lan with Qi Manifestation.
After dropping the blood onto his tongue, Grandpa Lan closed his eyes and silently analyzed the blood.
A mont later, he opened his eyes with disbelief written all over his face.
"My lord... You really have a bloodline that’s at the very least Divine-grade... This is also my first ti tasting sothing this exquisite." Grandpa Lan mumbled in a dazed voice.
"Yingying, quickly, give the young man so of your blood!" Grandpa Lan said.
And he continued, "As Divine Beasts, our blood has the property to awaken human bloodlines!"
However, Yuan shook his head and said, "I have already tried that— with Phoenix blood."
"Eh? You tried to awaken lock your bloodline with Phoenix blood... and it didn’t work?" Grandpa Lan looked at him with wide eyes.
Yuan nodded.
"Hmm..."
After a mont of silence, Grandpa Lan continued, "Although Phoenixes are at the top of the Divine Beasts’ ranking, their blood isn’t as powerful when it cos to awakening human bloodlines."
"That’s where we— Divine Serpents— co in. Our blood can awaken most bloodlines in existence unless you have a God-like bloodline."
"God-like bloodlines?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Only the most powerful families in the upper heavens would have a God bloodline."
"I see... Then let’s try it." Yuan nodded.
Soti later, Lan Yingying poured her own blood into a large cup until it was completely full before handing it to Yuan.
"T-This much?" Yuan was startled by the amount of blood that was in front of him at this mont.
"You probably only had a drop of Phoenix blood, right? A human can only handle so much Divine Beast blood no matter how powerful you are. If you consu too much, it’ll harm you instead. However, our bloodline is a bit unique in that aspect, as you can consu a large quantity without worrying about any harmful effects, and it’ll even increase its effectiveness."
"I understand." Yuan nodded with a resolute look on his face.
He then took a deep breath before grabbing the cup of blood and chugging it down like a warrior.
After chugging the blood, Yuan could imdiately feel his body heating up, similar to when he consud Feng Yuxiang’s Phoenix blood!
