Chapter 483: Father and Daughter Reunion (II)

Xiao Ming sensed something unusual as well. He followed Zi Yan's gaze and saw the incredibly massive creature. His pupils involuntarily contracted and warnings echoed deep within his soul, reminding him of the immense danger the creature before him posed.

Even though Xiao Ming had mentally prepared himself, actually facing this scene was an entirely different experience; words could not adequately describe the overwhelming sensation caused by Zhu Kun's enormous size in dragon form.

"Xiao Ming..."

Zi Yan was about to speak, but at that moment, she suddenly felt a slight tremor from the gigantic creature below. Then, slowly, its massive eyes opened.

These eyes were a faint shade of red, with pupils that seemed to merge. This pair of eyes alone was hundreds of times larger than Xiao Ming and Zi Yan combined!

The overwhelming pressure enveloped their bodies. Xiao Ming's expression changed as he stepped forward, exerting his aura to counter the sensation that felt like sinking into a quagmire.

"Tomb raider... did you bring the ancient jade?"

Xiao Ming erupted with his aura and glanced at the colossal eyes hidden within the darkness. At this moment, those eyes contained an icy chill as they stared at them in an indifferent fashion. There was no fluctuation in them.

"No!"

Upon hearing this response, the previously vacant and indifferent giant eyes began to focus, as if the slumbering beast was truly awakening.

A ferocious intent burst forth from these eyes, hundreds of times larger than Xiao Ming's. The colossal dragon's body moved slowly, and the dark void began to tremble as if it couldn't bear the immense power.

Zi Yan wouldn't let Xiao Ming face this pressure alone. She also stepped forward and the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor surged from her.

"Since there's no ancient jade, then you shall remain behind with this Emperor-"

The cold words came to an abrupt halt as the massive pupils stared fixedly at Zi Yan next to Xiao Ming. The sense of familiarity, the feeling of a bloodline connection, suddenly welled up within the previously indifferent heart.

It was the bloodline of the same origin, the same lineage, something that only his one and only child could possess in this world.

"Child..."

"Have you seen my mother?" Upon hearing this, Zi Yan, who had been crafting a story about Zhu Kun in her mind, finally realized that something was amiss. Her face changed color and she stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.

As she clearly saw the golden pupils in the man's eyes, a strange sensation welled up deep within her. This strange feeling made her slender body tremble slightly. Gently biting her red lips, she suddenly stepped forward and extended her jade-like hand to grasp the palm of the man in front of her.

As they made contact, a radiant golden light surged from both of them. The two lights merged perfectly in an instant at the point where their hands met. A faint, terrifying pressure began to emanate from them.

"You..."

Staring blankly at the perfect convergence of golden light, Zi Yan's gaze fluctuated intensely.

She suddenly withdrew her jade-like hand as if receiving an electric shock, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man in front of her, his expression now soft and gentle, yet her gaze grew increasingly cold.

Standing behind Zi Yan, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally recognized each other.

However, looking at Zi Yan's current expression, he noticed that she didn't seem overly excited. But knowing her as well as he did, Xiao Ming could sense the tumultuous emotions swirling within her at this moment.

"Child, I..."

Seeing Zi Yan's sudden icy expression, Zhu Kun felt a bit lost. He was clearly inexperienced in dealing with such a situation. He rubbed his hands nervously and stammered, unsure of how to proceed.

"Don't call me 'child'. Xiao Ming and the First Elder are the only members of my family."

Zi Yan bit her lip, her eyes reddening. Her thin face radiated stubbornness and her voice carried a heavy sense of grievance.

Father... this was the moment she had longed for the most.

Xiao Ming let out a soft sigh. Back then, Zi Yan had lived alone in the deep mountains of the Black-Corner Region at a very young age. Were it not for her extraordinary talent, she might have perished long ago.

Even after devouring the Body Transformation Grass and arriving at Jia Nan Academy, she was still very isolated. That might have been the reason why when she first saw him, she mistook him for a magical beast and wanted to take him as her little brother. Thinking about it now, it was quite heartrending.

Knowing that Zi Yan had few friends, he hadn't done much to stop her from hanging out with Medusa when he and she still had a grudge against each other.
