Chapter 89 : Confused and Bewildered (Full Chapter)
However, even though he understood this, Chu Ge had no intention of telling Ying Qingjue the details.
"As for when I obtained the dragon bloodline, that's not convenient for me to tell you, Senior."
After hearing this, Ying Qingjue did not feel any displeasure toward Chu Ge. Instead, the look she gave him became a little warmer and more affectionate.
"It's fine if you don't say. Can you at least tell me—what is the name of your bloodline?"
Ying Qingjue asked again.
At present, she was only a remnant soul. Being able to sense the bloodline aura within Chu Ge's body was already no small feat.
She could not clearly discern the detailed information of the dragon bloodline Chu Ge possessed.
As for this question, Chu Ge had no intention of hiding it and immediately replied:
"Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon."
His tone was calm, but to Ying Qingjue's ears, it was no different from a thunderbolt exploding!
"Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon… Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon… It's actually the Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon…"
On her exquisitely beautiful face appeared an expression that was both like crying and like laughing as she kept murmuring to herself.
Chu Ge frowned slightly. Ying Qingjue's reaction was clearly not quite right.
"Senior? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon bloodline?"
Only then did Ying Qingjue gradually come back to her senses. She raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, as if trying to brush away tears.
But after making that motion, her expression stiffened again.
Only then did she realize she was nothing more than a remnant soul now—how could there be any tears left to shed?
Taking a deep breath, Ying Qingjue finally smoothed down the chaotic emotions surging like tangled silk within her heart.
She looked at Chu Ge, and her gaze became even gentler than before.
"There's no problem… The Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon bloodline… is very good."
"In the future, there's no need to call me 'Senior' anymore. You can call me Qingjue, or… 'Elder Sister'…"
When she spoke the last words, her brilliant golden eyes stared straight at Chu Ge, and even her voice seemed to carry a trace of yearning.
No one knew how lonely she had felt when she awoke within the Dragon Abyss Ring and learned that the dragon race had long since gone extinct in this world.
Now, as Chu Ge—someone who possessed a pure Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon bloodline—stood before her,
no one knew how agitated and overjoyed she truly was.
She was no longer concerned about why Chu Ge had suddenly obtained a dragon bloodline—those things were no longer important.
She only knew that Chu Ge might be, in this entire world, the only clansman who still shared a bloodline connection with her.
Naturally, Chu Ge had no way of knowing Ying Qingjue's current state of mind. But he could tell that she cared deeply about his Violet Extreme Imperial Dragon bloodline.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Ge tried asking tentatively:
"Then… then from now on I'll call you… Elder Sister Qingjue, how does that sound?"
As for suddenly gaining a free elder sister like Ying Qingjue, Chu Ge had no resistance at all.
And after hearing Chu Ge's words, Ying Qingjue's expression visibly brightened.
It was as if that single "Elder Sister Qingjue" had dispelled a large portion of the loneliness and gloom in her heart.
She nodded solemnly at Chu Ge.
The two of them, who had not even officially interacted much before, seemed to have their bond deepen in an instant.
Only at this moment did Ying Qingjue remember that Chu Ge had summoned her out for a reason.
"Xiao Ge, why did you call me out? What is it that you wanted?"
As she spoke, her remnant-soul body drifted closer to Chu Ge, and an unmistakable trace of delight appeared on her face.
It seemed that merely being closer to Chu Ge was enough to lift her mood.
Xiao Ge (Little Ge)… huh…
Hearing the way Ying Qingjue addressed him, Chu Ge felt a strange sensation stir in his heart, though he had no intention of correcting her.
Since she was already his "bargain elder sister," she could call him however she liked.
Letting his gaze settle on Ying Qingjue, Chu Ge communicated with the system in his mind.
"System, view the target's intelligence."
[Ding, target information as follows.]
Name: Ying Qingjue
Race: Golden-Scaled Radiant Dragon
Realm: Twelfth Heaven · Supreme Realm (in life)
Current Status: Remnant Soul 10%
Current Emotions: Joy, Attachment
Affinity toward Host: 79
Special Intelligence: If the host cultivates the Dragon-Controlling Dual-Soul Heaven-Fusing Scripture together with the target, it can help the target return from the remnant-soul state to completeness. At the same time, the host will also greatly enhance his own realm and divine soul during the cultivation process.
Looking at Ying Qingjue's line of information, Chu Ge's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He had expected her to have been very powerful in life—after all, she was an aid to a Child of Fortune—but he had never imagined that Ying Qingjue had actually been a Supreme in the Twelfth Heaven.
An absolute apex existence of this world!
This made a sudden chill run through his heart.
Fortunately, Ying Qingjue had already broken with Ye Chen.
Otherwise, if he were to truly fight Ye Chen, the outcome would have been very hard to predict.
After all, a Supreme—even if only a soul remained, and even if that soul amounted to merely one-tenth—was still, in the end, a Supreme.
What hidden methods such a being might possess, no one could possibly know.
Leaving aside Ying Qingjue's former strength, her affinity toward him also greatly surprised Chu Ge.
He had just checked the grading of affection in the emotion panel.
Seventy-nine points belonged to the "fondness" tier—not limited to romantic feelings, but also including other forms of attachment.
Even so, for two people who had only just begun interacting, this value was already extremely high.
Combined with Ying Qingjue's current emotions shown below, Chu Ge vaguely understood.
The joy was most likely because he possessed a dragon bloodline.
And the attachment was also inseparable from his bloodline.
As for why exactly this had caused Ying Qingjue—a former Twelfth Heaven Supreme—to develop feelings of attachment, Chu Ge had no way of knowing.
In any case, it was beneficial to him. He had no intention of digging deeper into it.
Only after reviewing all the information did Chu Ge finally speak:
"Elder Sister Qingjue, the reason I called you out is related to reconstructing your physical body."
As he spoke, Chu Ge took out the Creation Mystic Light he had obtained from the Fortune Package.
In truth, that was not the real reason at all. Chu Ge had merely wanted to test the effect of the emotion panel on other people.
However, since he had muddle-headedly acknowledged Ying Qingjue as his elder sister, he simply took out the Creation Mystic Light directly.
After all, it was originally meant for her anyway. Taking it out sooner or later made no real difference.
