Book 14: Chapter 60
Mommy Vyvyan also soon woke up. Well, not exactly soon, since she was out until night time. Although I still had my flesh, my scales felt a little stiff at night. My limbs and fingers felt stiff when I moved about.
I sat next to the fire. Vyvyan and the dragon did their best to stay as far away from each other as possible. Vyvyan still didn’t like the dragon whatsoever. Instead, Vyvyan was brimming with hostility toward Dragon Mom. If I wasn’t present, she probably would’ve attacked her. Mommy Vyvyan was apologetic to me, because she nearly strangled me to death. She was very scared and even afraid of getting close to me as a result.
I didn’t intend to make a fuss over it. In fact, my feelings for Mommy Vyvyan hadn’t changed in the least. For me, nothing she ever did was unforgivable. To the contrary, it was me who was in the wrong in the first place. Fortunately, she was feeling guilty toward me, so the three of us could sit together in peace.
With that said, the dragon was always unfriendly to Vyvyan, but that couldn’t be any more normal. Vyvyan did team up with Ying and kill her once, after all. Nobody would like the person who murdered them. As for Ying, the dragon was even more vigilant of her, since Ying was able to pierce her scales that she was proud of.
Ying was very obedient next to me. She did ask that we get back to the lighthouse as soon as possible, since Xia’s body was there. Ying was afraid something bad would happen if she was separated from her body for too long. While there was nobody else present, she was still very worried without her most important person by her side.
I looked at the stuff in my hand. There was a black ball-shaped object. Actually, it wasn’t completely black but purple. It was unmoving. They were the organs that Dragon Mom left for me. Additionally, there was a yellow eyeball. My organs and eyes weren’t included in what she gave me. I pumped dragon blood around my elven organs. That meant the dragon blood wasn’t of much use to me.
“Son, this is a dragon’s heart. An elf’s heart isn’t that big in reality. If you continue using an elf’s heart, the function of the dragon’s blood won’t be that important. You need to switch yours out for a dragon’s in order for the dragon’s blood to take full effect. If possible… I can help you…”
Vyvyan seemed to have something she really wanted to say to me. She leaned in toward me. She looked at me somewhat fearfully and nervously, not daring to approach me and hug me. She appeared to worry that I’d push her away. Eyes on the heart in front of me, I asked, “What can this do for me…?”
“Immortality.”
