The son that Long Zhen had been pining for hundreds of thousands of years was finally back, and he was a legendary golden dragon. Long Zhen’s heart would feel extremely full if her son had not been cooking at that time.

She watched her golden dragon son busying himself all afternoon. Long Zhen attempted to stop him – he just became a dragon afterall and needed time to recover. But she saw that he was filial toward his own master and decided to let him be.

That was how… she found herself seated at the table, eating together with Shen Ying.

-_-|||

“Master, have some tea!” Yi Qing was still a golden dragon. He poured tea for the woman who had just finished eating.

“Oh.” Out of habit, Shen Ying received the tea cup. She turned to study the dragon chef seated next to her, which reminded her of cartoons. Finally, she recalled the serious business she had to tend to.

“Chef!”

“Master?”

“Can you not turn back into a human?”

Yi Qing shook his dragon head. “Not yet.”

The black dragon already taught him how to turn back into a human, but he was not familiar with his own body and each adjustment to his God Power that he made resulted in a strange tiredness..

“He just hatched and his body is weak – it’s normal that he can’t turn back into a human just yet,” Long Zhen explained.

“Are dragons all so weak?” Shen Ying asked.

“Not exactly.” Long Zhen frowned. “Maybe he’s different.”

“… Oh.”

“Chef.” Yi Qing suddenly recalled something and said, “I remember ever since I entered the dragon egg, I felt a strange suppressive aura. There was no way I could break out of it. And…” He frowned. “The more I fought, the weaker my body felt.” Maybe that resulted in him becoming a weak child.

“There was such a thing!” Long Zhen jumped to her feet. She scanned him from head to toe for the umpteenth time. “What aura?”

Yi Qing shook his head. “I’m not sure either.”

“I know,” Shen Ying suddenly said.

The three dragons paused, turning to look at her.

What do you mean?

Shen Ying pulled out something white and flowery from her robes. “Is it this?”

The few of them hesitated. Even Long Zhen looked curiously at the thing Shen Ying was clutching. It was the shell that was pressing down on the egg a few days ago.

“Exalted Goddess, is there an aura on that thing?” The black dragon tried to look closer at it, but it did not seem like there was much to the shell

“It’s inside.” She reached out and peeled the layer of skin on the shell. Just as she finished peeling off half of the layer, a strange black Qi flashed and attempted to speed out of the egg. Shen Ying reached out and grabbed it.

The next moment, a black foggy body appeared in her hand. It looked alive, struggling to escape her grip. A chilling aura let out a frightening cry intermittently. It sounded like ghostly cries. The aura seemed to lose its strength in Shen Ying’s grip. Seconds later, it vanished.

“That’s… the ghost immortal’s Yin Qi!” Long Zhen exclaimed, eyes widened. She jumped to her feet. “How could that be… my child’s dragon egg has always been under my watchful eye. How could there be ghost immortal’s Yin Qi hidden inside!”

“Ghost immortal’s what?” Shen Ying tilted her head.

Long Zhen frowned, her expression darkening. “Ghost immortals are deviant ghosts that train to become immortals in the Divine Underworld. Their cultivation techniques are very special and their skills are very strange. Many divine beings do not know how to handle them. The thing about them is that they’re very hard to locate, and it’s not easy for them to get to the divine territories.”
