240: Chapter 69: The Egg of the Snow Dragon Leopard (Part 3)_1 240: Chapter 69: The Egg of the Snow Dragon Leopard (Part 3)_1 The breaths of the Snow Dragon Leopard became more hurried, “Respected Emperor Zi, I no longer have the strength to give birth to my children, but once I die, they will be born.
I will use my last energy to form a cocoon to protect them and provide them with enough nutrition.
Is he your friend?” Her gaze fell on Ye Yinzhu.
Zi nodded and said, “Yin Zhu is my brother.
His name is Ye Yinzhu.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Ye Yinzhu, thank you for your help.
Your zither music is truly unique.
It could temporarily restore some of my strength to destroy the Hurricane Python King even when I was at the end of my tether.
If you are willing, I would like to ask you to form a contract with my children.
With the protection of you and Emperor Zi, my children will surely grow up safely.”
Ming Hui said in surprise, “Brother Xue, do you really want your children to leave the Frosty Forest?”
The Snow Dragon Leopard gave a bitter smile, “If not, what else?
Can the magical beasts here just watch my children grow up?
They will never allow such a threat to exist again.
Even with your power, you may not be able to fully guard the safety of my children.
Only by leaving this place, escaping this brutal petitive environment, can they have a better chance for survival.
And only by forming a contract with humans can they grow faster.
Although this will cause my children to lose their freedom for a while, they will evolve and gain the strength to protect themselves much sooner.”
Ye Yinzhu’s eyes showed a touch of admiration, “Snow Dragon Leopard, you have inspired me with a mother’s greatness, considering everything so thoroughly for your children.
However, I cannot agree to your request because I have already formed a contract.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard looked at Ye Yinzhu in surprise, “Contracts that are already made can also be dissolved.
I can use my last soul power to cleanse you of the imprint from the previous contract to form a new one.
Perhaps you do not know, but my children will be twins.
Since they are identical twins, once you form a contract with them, you will have two rank Nine Beasts once they grow up!”
Ye Yinzhu glanced at Zi beside him and said, “I have to admit, the temptation is great.
But no, I will not dissolve my contract with my partner.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard, puzzled, asked, “Why not?
Is your partner already a rank Nine Beast?
But remember, my children are two.
They will inherit all my abilities, and in the future, they will both bee Advanced rank Nine superior magical beasts!
I cannot imagine any magical beast that could pare with them.
Can you tell me what kind of beast you have contracted with?”
“It is me,” Zi said indifferently.
His gaze toward the Snow Dragon Leopard had clearly turned a few degrees colder.
“This…” The Snow Dragon Leopard’s gaze suddenly became vacant, and even the two Snow Spirits You Ming beside them widened their eyes in shock.
They could never have imagined that the Amethyst Behemoth, a legendary pinnacle rank Ten Expert and the peak existence in the tales of the Beastman’s World, would form a contract with a human.
Their estimate of Ye Yinzhu had to be revised.
The Snow Dragon Leopard’s expression remained frozen for a long while, her breathing being even more labored.
Judging by her expression, she seemed unable to hold on much longer.
“I apologize, Emperor Zi.
I did not mean to offend your dignity,” the Snow Dragon Leopard said with some trepidation.
Zi replied calmly, “If you had done it on purpose, you would no longer be speaking.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard clenched her teeth and said to Ye Yinzhu, “Since you and Emperor Zi are contract partners, my children naturally cannot pare.
But I still entrust them to you and Emperor Zi.
I trust your judgment, so please determine my children’s future.
Can you choose a kind human to form a contract with them?”
If someone were to witness this scene, they would surely be astonished, a rank Nine Beast imploring a human to send away her unborn children—it was almost unthinkable.
Ye Yinzhu nodded solemnly and said, “Thank you for your trust.
Rest assured, I will find a suitable partner for your children.
As long as Zi and I are here, we will protect their safety.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard nodded, her gaze almost pleading as she looked toward Zi, who naturally understood her intention and said indifferently, “Yin Zhu’s words are my words.
You can rest easy now.”
Only then did the Snow Dragon Leopard pletely relax, “Thank you, Emperor Zi, and thank you, Ye Yinzhu.
I can go in peace now.” Her eyes that had turned dull suddenly lit up again, and a faint glow rose from her weakened body.
“Wait.” Zi stepped forward and placed a palm on the Snow Dragon Leopard’s head, “I know your choice and will not stop you.
But before you depart, I have a few questions to ask.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard was taken aback and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, “Emperor Zi, I don’t have much time left.
I’m afraid it will be too late.”
Zi said, “My questions are straightforward.
As one of the Eight Major Guardian Beasts of the Frosty Forest, do you know if any of the other seven beasts include a Mountain Giant or a War Behemoth?”
The Snow Dragon Leopard shook its head and said, “No, I’m certain there isn’t.
Although I am the weakest among the Eight Major Guardian Beasts, the strength of the other Guardian Beasts is all quite similar, mostly equivalent to humans of Eighth Rank Zi rank or Ninth Rank.
There absolutely isn’t a rank Ten Divine Beast like you.”
Zi knew that the Snow Dragon Leopard wouldn’t possibly deceive him at this time.
A sense of disappointment welled up within him, and he couldn’t help but frown.
“However,” the Snow Dragon Leopard seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly spoke up.
“However what?” Zi looked at her.
The Snow Dragon Leopard said, “When I was young, I once tried to enter the core Ice Ring of the Frosty Forest with the father of my children.
That time, many powerful magical beasts also wanted to enter with us.
But when we actually reached the vicinity of the Ice Ring, we all felt an incredibly immense pressure.
Nobody knew where this pressure came from.
Most magical beasts retreated, only some Advanced rank Nine powerhouses hesitated before entering the Ice Ring, and my husband was among them.
It was then that my children lost their father.
If he were still here, I wouldn’t have to hold on so strenuously by myself.
My children were about to be born after a hundred years, yet they are going to lose their mother.”
Two large tears slid from the eyes of the Snow Dragon Leopard, turning into ice granules and shattering into icy powder.
Zi frowned and asked, “Exactly what kind of oppression was it, and why did those Advanced rank Nine magical beasts want to go into the Ice Ring?”
The Snow Dragon Leopard said, “Because we felt a strong attraction, as if something had been born, seemingly a creature filled with immense Elemental Energy.
If we could eat that creature, perhaps we could break through the Ninth rank bottleneck.
For the Advanced rank Nine superior magical beasts, evolving to rank Ten is our eternal dream.
However, none of the rank Nine beasts that entered that time came back alive.
I waited desperately outside the Ice Ring, hearing only cries of grief and a sound like the bellowing of a bull, with the entire Ice Ring seeming to tremble with that bellowing.
If I’m not mistaken, there might be a rank Ten formidable existence living within the Ice Ring.
Otherwise, how could it be that including my husband, none of the four Advanced rank Nine magical beasts that entered managed to e out alive?”
“A bull’s bellow.” A trace of contemplation appeared in Zi’s eyes, and his purple pupils gradually brightened.
The Snow Dragon Leopard knew her mission was plete, with a hint of desolation in her ice-blue eyes, flames emerged from her eyes and instantly spread to every corner of her body, pletely enveloping her massive form.
Ming Hui and Ming Yue cried out in shock at the same time, “Soul burning?”
Ming Hui said anxiously, “Brother Xue, doing this will cause your soul imprint to disappear forever.”
The Snow Dragon Leopard gave a wistful smile and said, “But only in this way can my energy be better preserved and left to my children.
This is the last thing I can do for them.
Ye Yinzhu, I have to trouble you.
After I die, in addition to my children, a Crystal Core that belongs to me will appear.
Please hand this Crystal Core over to the future master of my children, let him consume it.
This way, after signing a contract with them, my children will receive the support of my Crystal Core’s energy and grow up better.
My…
Crystal Core’s…
energy can also provide…
some…
help…
to that…
person….
It’s like I…
have always been nurturing…
my children…
to help…
them…
grow up…
This is…
my…
last…
wish, please…
promise…
me…
that you will…
fulfill…
it….”
The blue Soul Fire gradually consumed the Snow Dragon Leopard’s body, her voice fading to intermittent murmurs toward the end.
Ye Yinzhu’s heart ached; he suddenly realized how much he missed his mother.
Maternal love is always the world’s greatest and most selfless love, never asking for anything in return, only giving.
He nodded solemnly and firmly, “I promise you.”
A hint of satisfaction shone from those blue eyes as the last of their light was released.
The Soul Fire soared without heat, but took away that great life of a mother.
Not even ashes remained.
When the blue Soul Fire disappeared before Ye Yinzhu, all that was left was an oval-shaped blue Crystal Stone and a white cocoon about a meter in diameter.
For the sake of her children, the Snow Dragon Leopard used the Soul Fire to purify all the impurities from her body, turning it into this cocoon with pure energy to protect her unborn children nestled inside.
Picking up the Crystal Stone, Ye Yinzhu touched the oval cocoon and sighed before putting them into his Space Ring.
