CH 75.1

The huge cave entrance resembled a beast’s enormous mouth.

They could hear hissing and roaring coming from within.

Bai Lixin was about to enter when Dijia yanked him by his wrist and said, “Wait.”

“What?” Bai Lixin stopped and asked in puzzlement.

Dijia paused for a moment before saying, “Why don’t you wait outside? I’ll go in and help you get the sealed thing out.”

“No,” Bai Lixin straightened his clothes and tied the belt around his waist neatly. “Doesn’t Master want me to go in?”

Dijia fixed his gaze on Bai Lixin’s hands as he tied the belt: “…”

I’m a little reluctant to let you go in.

Bai Lixin bowed his head and continued tying his belt before he casually added, “The four night elves were shocked to see Master become this way.”

Dijia had no idea what Bai Lixin was getting at with this statement: “……”

Bai Lixin continued, “But the “witch” woman was not surprised at all.”

The woven linen belt was finally tied, and the young man lifted his head to look at the tall Dijia before him.“It was as if she had met Master before.”

Dijia’s heart skipped a beat.

Bai Lixin: “Has she seen you before , Master?”

Dijia remained silent for a long time before nodding, “Yes.”

“At first, I didn’t recognize her. When I last saw her, she was a very young elf. The Night Elves drove her away because she was different. I felt sorry for her and brought her here to be the guardian of the forbidden land.”

“Because Night Elves have a life expectancy of only 150 years, I assumed she was the offspring of that child.”

Bai Lixin looked at Dijia up and down, and just when Dijia thought that the other party would ask about the forbidden land, he asked a different question, “How old are you?”

Dijia’s body stiffened, and he looked sluggishly at Bai Lixin. He shook his head in front of the other party’s curious gaze and said, “Oh, I have no idea. It’s almost over a thousand years old.”

Bai Lixin frowned.

Wasn’t I just asking how old he is? Why is he hesitating? Is he worried that I’d think he is old? I am over 30,000 years old, okay?

Bai Lixin: “What about the Immortal King?”

Dijia: “He is the first born of the undead race, so he is at least a thousand years old.”

That is yet another reason why he should not allow his disciple to become the queen of that old king. He’s just a monster that crawled out of a corpse, but he wants to marry his disciple using the prophecy?

The roar of the beast echoed from the cave once again, this time accompanied by an icy wind.

In the next second, a black shadow emerged from the cave, wrapped itself around the two people’s waists, and drew them in.

It was a huge bone dragon with five flexible bone tails behind it, one of which caught them.

As it lay coiled in the center of the cave, the bone dragon had no desire to kill. The cave was surrounded by some shining stones, which made the depths of the cave appear less dark.

A massive egg lay in the center of the circle formed by the bone dragon.

The bone dragon obviously knew Dijia as it bowed its head in Dijia’s direction before placing the two on the ground.

The entire body remained coiled, and the bone wings on its back covered it completely.

Dijia reached out and stroked the bone dragon’s head for a moment, “Long time no see.”

The bone dragon gave a soft, low hum in response to Dijia.

A dragon?

“It is the world’s last Bone Dragon.” Dijia retracted his hand and tucked it into his sleeve. “I hid it here so it wouldn’t become the Immortal King’s mount.”

“Because the immortal king is both the king of the undead race and the creator of the undead race, he has complete control over all undead.” Dijia walked over to a stone, wiped away the dust, and motioned for Bai Lixin to come and sit.

Bai Lixin had to jump a little to reach the stone because it was high.

“You asked me why the Immortal King was so afraid of me before,” Dijia explained after sitting. I wasn’t lying when I said it was because I’d killed him several times.”

“The undead race was born from summoning a demon god.”

“After ascending to the throne as king, the warlike man became obsessed with expanding his territory, resulting in endless conquest. The desire to win and conquer grew heavier and heavier, and the ambition eventually became the desire to conquer the entire Sibi continent.”

“He was defeated in battle one day, but before he died, he sacrificed the souls of all his soldiers, including his own, in order to summon the demon god and pray for their restoration to life.”

“The king’s arrogance in making the request enraged the demon god, who granted them resurrection but did not completely resurrect them. He turned them into an undead race that was immortal. It was a blessing as well as a curse.”

Dijia paused, “I’m not saying that living a long life is bad, but not many people would want it if it meant eventually becoming a walking corpse.””

“The undead are born in three stages.” The first stage is human death, the second stage is turning into the undead, and the third stage is becoming a walking corpse for no reason. At the third stage, the soul is imprisoned in the body, and they watch the corpse in action, but they can’t do anything about it.”

“ I have tried to kill the immortal king many times in order to break the curse and the immortal king also tried to kill me in order to save himself.” Dijia helplessly shrugged, “but as you can see, we both have the attribute of immortality, so we can’t kill each other, only exhaust ourselves. Wouldn’t you feel frustrated?”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Don’t mention it, just listening makes me angry.

I want to kill you but can’t; it’s a difficult situation.

Bai Lixin looked around the cave and fixed his eyes on the egg that the bone dragon had circled, wondering, “Is that a dragon egg?”

“Uh, yeah.” Dijia nodded. “It’s a dragon egg.”

As if in response to Bai Lixin’s curiosity, with a gentle sweep of its tail, the bone dragon, which had been dozing on the ground, brought the egg before Bai Lixin. The bone dragon stood up, stretching its bones as if relieved. The bone wings suddenly opened, and it flew away.

The egg hit the stone and bounced back before rolling onto the ground.

Bai Lixin: “……”

Dijia: “……”

Hey, you come back.

This is your egg; why are you throwing it to us?

This plot development is not right, Ah. Is this a plan to force me to bring up children in every copy?

Even if you want to give the egg away, you must communicate properly. Don’t throw it over like garbage, Ah!

Bai Lixin looked at the egg abandoned by the bone dragon and cast a pleading glance at Dijia.

Dijia seemed very reluctant to touch the egg: “How about taking it back to the dragon’s nest?”

Bai Lixin: “Good idea!”

The cave was so big, and there were no hidden spaces. It seems that the only thing in the cave was the dragon and this egg.

Bai Lixin, too, did not want to waste time and intended to return quickly.

Bai Lixin held the egg and felt a warmth emanate from inside, but the egg appeared ordinary.

Bai Lixin turned around as he placed the egg back in the center of the withered grass nest. He’d only taken a few steps when he stopped abruptly and turned around, surprised.

The egg, which had just been placed in the middle of the nest, had rolled over and followed him as if it had grown eyes.

Bai Lixin moved two steps to the side, and the egg rolled to the side as well.

It seemed to be following Bai Lixin.

He glanced at Dijia helplessly. Dijia coughed softly, and he sounded a little guilty. “It seems to be quite fond of you.”
