My Master Disconnected Yet Again

"My child!" The moment she entered the room, Long Zhen"s dull expression brightened up. She broke out into a motherly smile and appeared next to Yi Qing in an instant. She scanned him from head to toe and said, "Why are you here? You"ve just hatched and you"re still weak. You"ve just regained consciousness and should not be running around. Even if you want to train as early as possible, you don"t have to immediately visit your future master." She patted down his robes and hugged him. "So? Where else do you feel uncomfortable? Tell Mother."

Yi Qing stared blankly back at her and quickly retreated, putting some s.p.a.ce between the two of them. He cupped his fists like a grown man and said, "Supreme Divinity Long Zhen…"

Long Zhen started, then grinned even wider. "You"re my child indeed - so obedient!" She looked extremely proud. "But you don"t have to stand on ceremony in front of your mother."

"Supreme Divinity Long Zhen!" Yi Qing put on the most serious expression he could. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, his young face looked gentle. "Your humble subject… might not be your son."

Long Zhen paused. "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" She smiled kindly again and said, "Don"t crack jokes like that with Mother."

"Supreme Divinity, I am not joking" Yi Qing said respectfully, "My name is Yi Qing, a disciple of the Invincible Sect from the immortal realm." He turned and glanced at Shen Ying, who was still leaning lazily on the table. "Please forgive me, Supreme Divinity. Several days ago, when I woke up, I did not have time to explain myself before I fell back into a deep sleep. Actually, I was not intending to take this woman as my master that day - she is my master, Shen Ying."

"Immortal realm! Master?"

Yi Qing explained everything once through. "We came to the divine realm to look for someone. I don"t know how I got into that dragon egg either and became like that, but I am not your son."

Long Zhen stared blankly at the young boy in front of her and Shen Ying, who was beside him. Surprisingly, there was no sadness or anger in her expression. Instead, she smiled at him once again.

"I see… Ah, why didn"t you say so earlier, child?" Her smile grew wider and wider as she looked at him chidingly. "I was wondering why you were so cold to me the past several days, and why you disappeared the moment you could. So that"s the case… You really still remember your past life?"

Now, the rest were confused. Past life? What did she mean?

"My child…" She turned and faced Yi Qing, then dropped her gaze. Her expression was complicated. She seemed to be looking right past him and did not speak for a long time. This face was clearly…

Yi Qing frowned and tried to get her attention again, saying, "Supreme Divinity Long Zhen!"

Long Zhen paused. It took a couple of seconds for her to respond. Awkwardly, she smiled and said, "There"s no reason to doubt it - you are indeed my son." As if recalling something, she clenched her fists by her sides and hesitated before saying, "When you were born… you were different from others. The dragon egg"s remaining dragon Qi and your dragon soul was weak. I heard that the power of Samsara could heal your dragon soul, so…"

"You sent him into Samsara?" Shen Ying narrowed her eyes. Just like the Shortie?

"That"s right." Long Zhen nodded. "I sent his dragon soul into Samsara and looked for the male dragons around to nurture the dragon Qi in the dragon egg. I was intending to recall his soul when it was strong enough. I didn"t think you would have an immortal body in the mortal realm, or that you would come to the divine realm on your own."

"Ordinarily, people in Samsara would forget what happened in their past lives. Even recalling your soul into the divine realm required it to go through Samsara. That was why I thought you forgot everything!" She looked at Yi Qing and something flashed in her eyes. "I didn"t think that you would come back earlier, nor that you would come here through the immortal realm. Be it the dragon body in the egg or the immortal body you had before reincarnation, both are yours. It"s normal for you to want them both. Perhaps because of that, your two bodies became one in the egg."

Two became one!

Shen Ying and Yi QIng exchanged a look. Neither of them ascended up here - the G.o.dfiend sent them here.

"So you are indeed my child." Long Zhen stepped forward with a kind smile, looking at the miniature Yi Qing. Everything about her mannerism was screaming motherly love. "I was the one who sent your dragon soul into the mortal realm - I will not be mistaken."

Yi Qing paused. Probably out of habit, he stepped backward on feeling her pa.s.sion.

According to her, his old body had merged with the body in the dragon egg. Was he now a human or a dragon?

"Why do I still feel the immortal bones in my body, even though I look different now?" His cultivation, spirit roots and even his sword intent still felt exactly the same. "I don"t feel like I have any dragon powers."

Long Zhen smiled deeply. "You"ve never felt dragon Qi before, have you?"

"Dragon Qi?" Yi Qing paused. Instinctively, he released his divine perception and felt a strange aura surge upward in his body. Something in his mind clicked - he seemed to have unlocked something. His body began to glow golden.

The next moment, the little boy disappeared from the ground. A golden light filled the house and a dragon appeared within it, breaking through the roof of the house. Bits and pieces of the roof dropped to the ground.

"Master!" Yi Qing immediately dove to protect Shen Ying"s head, but in doing so, caused even more damage to the house. Suddenly, everything was in shambles.

Everything happened so quickly. By the time he reacted, only Long Worm and Long Zhen were left on the ground, their heads covered in dust. The dragon that was now carrying Shen Ying cautiously was not as big as the black dragon or Long Zhen, but it was glowing like the sun.

"Golden… golden… golden dragon!" The black dragon regained his composure but his mouth was agape, obviously in shock on seeing the dragon in front of him.

Long Zhen was shocked too. She did not expect her son to be a golden dragon. It was no wonder… No wonder that earlier…

It was said that golden dragons were a royal race. They were more powerful than any other kind of dragon, but they only appeared in ancient times.

Yi Qing was shocked too. He regulated the immortal Qi in his body and found that it had already turned into a thicker and scarier aura. Was this G.o.d Power?

"Chef?" Shen Ying raised her head. He really was a dragon.

It was only then that Yi Qing regained his composure. He tried to employ different techniques to turn himself back into human form, but he just reduced in size to become a dragon that was as tall as a human.

"Master, I"m not familiar with G.o.d Power and I don"t know how to control it. I can"t change back to my human form." He was not used to his dragon body and did not know how to transform. No matter how hard he tried, he could not become human again. He had no choice but to stand on two feet and act like he was walking.

"Oh." Shen Ying did not seem to mind that. She glanced at his mini claws.

"Chef?!"

"Master?"

"Can you still… cook like that?"

The two dragons: "…"

All you care about is your own food!

凸(艹皿艹)

A moment later, a confident voice spoke: "Yes!"

As if to prove himself, the dragon turned and buried himself in the undestroyed kitchen. It began to grab pots and pans with its claws…

The black dragon: "…" I thought he belonged to the royal race?

Long Zhen: "…" I"m starting to doubt that he"s really my son.
