Dashiell’s first reaction was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first episode of Season 3 of \"Inspiration\" had just aired, and unexpectedly, he was going to be the first one to fall from grace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized it and lifted his foot, ready to shake off this child,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on! Who are you?! Who are you calling dad?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a dragon baby who transformed two years ago! Properly a minor demon! Where did such a big son come from!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the child clung tightly to his leg, refusing to let go despite being shaken back and forth, still gazing at him eagerly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, you are my dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Dashiell couldn’t care about how cute the other was, he grabbed him directly and said viciously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look clearly, where on this tender face do I look like your dad?! We’re both minors, at least find someone decent to scam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child looked at him innocently, as if contemplating the logic of his words, after a moment, carefully amended,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell thought this title finally fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, it wasn’t quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can ’brother dad’ be recognized at will? Where did you come from, go back there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Dashiell gestured to lift the boy to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he still clung to him, and Dashiell couldn’t believe it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you latched onto me?! What do you actually want?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps seeing him somewhat angry, the child trembled slightly, his expression twisted for a moment, before finally turning his head toward a certain distant spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his gaze, Dashiell saw that the place he was looking at was the enrollment inquiry point Donovan Jennings had set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling somewhat baffled, he heard the child whispering in frustration,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to register, but they said I need a parent to sign up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he came here to \"find a parent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speechless, Dashiell replied, \"Then go find your real dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean to find him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the child said, \"I don’t have a real dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentence spoken in his childish voice hit Dashiell, making him assume this was an orphan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Dashiell wasn’t particularly fond of children, he still had a basic sense of sympathy. So he softened his tone and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even know what that place is before wanting to enroll?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the child nodding, still gazing at him eagerly, Dashiell suddenly felt a bit awkward under his stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, come with me then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unfamiliar with the specific procedures here, he assumed Brother Donovan would have special plans for orphans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, whether this child gets admitted would still depend on his qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking he could take the boy to get tested, considering it might help kill his hopes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led the child to the enrollment inquiry point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it’s an affair associated with the Taoism Academy, those handling the tests and inquiries were all seniors from the Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people naturally recognized Dashiell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The baby dragon around Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that it was originally just a flood serpent, only transformed into a dragon after hanging around Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dashiell explained his purpose, a senior sister attending to them said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technically, we do accept young children, but we need to coordinate with the child’s orphanage or school teachers. But now it’s just in the registration review stage, his qualification is what matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the senior sister led them to a nearby room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room had isolated arrays, and a simple array in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior sister instructed the child to stand in the middle, then asked him, \"Stand still, feel it, then tell me what you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array was a basic setup; those who sensed spiritual power would see different things upon stepping in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing even one thing indicated a sensitivity to spiritual power, thus passing the test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obediently, the child walked into the array’s center, stood still, and lifted his eyes to see illusions suspended before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the mobile toys atop a baby’s cradle, the child looked up, his voice innocent yet clear, reciting what he saw one by one,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eagle, lion, flower, big tree, fox...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the child spoke each item, the senior sister’s initially indifferent expression gradually changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After naming the eight illusions in the array, the senior sister got a bit excited,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This child has quite a talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given recent tests, the most anyone saw was seven illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said children had more spiritual energy, hence Mystical Sect emphasizes cultivating talents from childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile unconsciously appeared on the senior sister’s lips as she opened her mouth, ready to let the child out of the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dashiell, sharply noticing as the child focused on counting the illusions, caught sight of red flames flickering beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell’s expression abruptly changed, without hesitation, pulling the senior sister beside him as Dragon Scale Armor formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Dragon Scale Armor expanded, flames suddenly erupted from under the child’s feet, followed by a loud bang, and it exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small room, due to the array’s isolation, prevented outsiders from hearing the commotion inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Dashiell and the senior sister inside were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the smoke dissipated, they saw the child unharmed in the center while the array beneath him had completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... what did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior sister looked at the child, her expression shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell’s expression was grave, finally speaking to the senior sister, \"Looks like this child isn’t suited for the Mystical Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy just emitted was demon energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a little demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angrily taking the child away from the registration point, Dashiell found a secluded place before sternly questioning him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little demon like you, what’s the point causing trouble at the Mystical Sect’s place? What are you up to?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speak honestly, or I’ll throw you directly into the Mystic Regulation Office’s dungeon to keep company with rat spirits!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the rat spirit, the child seemed to flinch, his expression very innocent, half-heartedly mumbling,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just want to find her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell asked with a stern face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is she? Which ’she’? What’s her name, what kind of demon is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child extended a finger, pointing not far outside the registration point where a promotional stand showing Ashton Todd was set up, specifically pointing at the shadow in the picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell was stunned, feeling more dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re looking for Scarlett??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did Scarlett Jennings become acquainted with such a mysterious minor demon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While unknown, Scarlett Jennings certainly attracted many peculiar creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding one more doesn’t seem surprising?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncertain of the little demon’s origin, Dashiell still directly notified Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, half an hour later, Scarlett Jennings arrived at the Mystic Regulation Office building to see the little fire-starting demon Dashiell had mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At just one glance, Scarlett Jennings froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because she recognized the child, but because she sensed a strangely familiar demon energy from him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-10T07:18:51.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","e63e9fc67e926c6c943351e2c9ea941a5710fd6fd1e4426dcd24c8419980ad7d","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1034","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1032",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
