Chapter 305: Mother's Secret

Haha, son, quickly come forward to greet your father… uh.

Chen Yuan opened his arms, preparing to give his son a hug, but his precious son walked past him and went to greet his mother.

His outstretched hands hung in midair, very awkward.

Chen Yuan's expression froze, awkward, extremely awkward; for a moment he didn't know whether to lower those hands.

What made it even more awkward was that his future daughter-in-law stood before him, smiling, making him even more embarrassed.

The black goat's human-like eyes stared at him, its face full of mockery; without speaking, one could tell from that gaze what it wanted to say.

I…

He felt remorseful; he shouldn't have opened his arms, his son wasn't coming to greet him, giving him no face at all—at the very least he should pretend, even if just acting, to make him happy, so it wouldn't be this embarrassing, nor would so many people be watching him.

Isn't that very embarrassing?

Chen Qinger raised her head and witnessed this scene with her own eyes; she wanted to pretend not to see it, but she couldn't.

Everyone saw it; Liu Yuer and her daughter lowered their heads and continued working, the corners of their mouths turning up as they tried to suppress it, but couldn't, so they used work to hide their smiles.

Mother and daughter exchanged a glance, both smiling.

Zhang Nongqian smiled the happiest, she hadn't smiled like this in a long time.

For a moment, her smile blossomed like a flower.

Long Ming was the happiest, continually patting his son's shoulder and chest, his heart full of joy.

You've grown taller, become more sturdy—good, good, very good.

The son who worried her has fully grown up; he is no longer that little boy from before.

Long Ming also noticed her husband's embarrassment, but didn't break it, just let Chen Yuan stand there continuing to be embarrassed.

Anyway, the embarrassed person isn't her; let him be.

Besides, this is all his own doing; who let him not think highly of his son back then, paying no attention to him? Now it's fine, he's been educated by his son.

This time you called me up the mountain—do you have something good to give me?

Mother, please look.

Chen Chuyang led his mother to the Ascending Dragon Pool, pointing at it and said: "This is the Ascending Dragon Pool I refined; Mother, how do you feel?"

Long Ming's smiling face suddenly changed.

Her eyes widened, her pupils contracting to a point.

Her body trembled, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

She stepped forward, her whole body seeming to have blood qi surging.

The fierce blood qi and the Ascending Dragon Pool's blood qi responded to each other, merged, and flowed together.

The layer of blood qi hovering above the Ascending Dragon Pool entirely entered her body, becoming part of it; not yet finished, she walked to the pool's edge, reached out to touch its rim, feeling its pressure.

Roar.

From inside the Ascending Dragon Pool came a dragon's roar, and similarly a dragon's might erupted from her body.

Faintly, two giant dragons could be seen facing off.

The formation swayed, as if about to collapse.

Chen Chuyang waved his hand, blocking all dragon might, preventing it from leaking out.

The formation surrounding the Ascending Dragon Pool blocked everything.

The black goat raised its head, staring at Mother Long Ming's silhouette, its nostrils twitching.

What is this aura?

A very familiar aura, a very pure aura—who is that woman?

It stared fixedly at Long Ming's back; even though the formation blocked it, it still caught that familiar scent, but for a moment couldn't recall where it had smelled it before.

An aura that could make it remember is certainly not simple.

Where exactly had it smelled it?

Strange, why can't I remember?

The black goat looked confused at what was before it; that aura was blocked, and it couldn't sense it.

Chen Yuan lowered his hands, staring toward the Ascending Dragon Pool.

His eyes narrowed.

Madam.

And Chuyang, what precious treasure have you refined?

To make his lady look like this, so shocked, it must be something good.

You should know, all the treasures of his Chen Clan are trash in his lady's eyes.

As for his lady's identity, he knows a little, but the details aren't clear.

In short, his lady is very mysterious.

And his son seems to know some of his lady's secrets.

Edge of the Ascending Dragon Pool.

Long Ming and the Ascending Dragon Pool's red blood merged and intermingled.

Chen Chuyang saw a layer of scales emerge on his mother's body, faint scales, appearing and disappearing.

Sometimes appearing, sometimes vanishing.

The scales were conspicuous, appearing on her neck and forehead, very noticeable.

That aura was very familiar; Chen Chuyang narrowed his eyes.

As expected, Mother's body possesses dragon bloodline.

It seems even purer than the Wild Dragon Snake's bloodline.

Chen Chuyang did not break this balance, leaving his mother and the Ascending Dragon Pool to resonate with each other.

The blood inside the Ascending Dragon Pool boiled up, forming a water column that enveloped his mother.

That blood was absorbed by his mother, completely absorbed, and then her whole body was wrapped in blood qi.

Layer after layer wrapped around.

Wrapped in an unknown number of layers, Chen Chuyang's Spiritual Sense could not penetrate it; he folded his arms and watched silently.

If his mother ever faced danger, Chen Chuyang would act immediately.

"It seems his mother won't wake up so quickly."

"The dragon blood in the Ascending Dragon Pool is indeed beneficial to his mother; there are many secrets on her body."

"I don't know how much his father knows or understands."

Before, Chen Chuyang had never heard of it; only after his cultivation advanced did he begin to sense this aura.

It is deeply hidden, not detectable by close observation, nor will they sense it just because they share a bloodline.

The fluctuation of that bloodline also exists in Chen Chuyang's body; after bathing in the Wild Dragon Snake's blood, his body became very strong.

That bloodline was triggered, began to awaken, and thus changed Chen Chuyang's body.

His elder brother also has it, while his younger sister Chen Qinger does not, and Shang Hongxue does not either.

It seems only they have it.

His younger sister Chen Churan also has it, though it is very thin, not matching him and his elder brother Chen Chusheng; his elder brother Chen Chusheng's bloodline has not yet awakened, so it hasn't been noticed, but his body is extraordinary, which Chen Chuyang had long realized, and he also used some unconventional methods in training and cultivating his elder brother.

His elder brother endured it, awakening his bloodline time and again, thus……

Chen Chuyang also investigated the bloodline within his body, made some guesses, and after seeing the changes in his mother's body, he confirmed it.

The bloodline in his mother's body is the richest; his father's body lacks this bloodline. After Chen Chuyang examined his father's body more than once and repeatedly confirmed it, he determined that the bloodline came from his mother.

"I don't know what kind of dragon's bloodline this is."

"His mother's identity is probably not simple either."

"Little Longshe Cheng hides too many secrets."

"Not ordinary people, not ordinary bloodlines."

"Shang Hongxue's Cultivation physique, his own special circumstance, and his mother."

As secrets were unveiled, Chen Chuyang discovered that Longshe Cheng was not simple.

As the Wild Dragon Snake appeared, more and more secrets surfaced.

Secrets, too many.

Truths, also many.

And what role is he playing, then?
