Chapter 1622 Good
Ryu allowed the Dragon to carry him forward. Though, quite frankly, he didn't really like the feeling. He could see an amused glint in Lysander's eyes as though he was aware of this as well.
Ryu was slowly beginning to understand why it was that Selheira was annoyed with her family. That said, he seemed to treat Selheira herself extremely well, but that seemed to grate on Selheira's nerves all the more.
The trio flashed and appeared deep within the Crystal Mountain. All around, Dragons continued to fly, most of them Crystal Dragons, but Ryu spotted a few who weren't, a number much larger than what he would have expected.
The method of reproduction was a bit odd as far as Ryu knew. Having a child by two Crystal Dragons increased the chances of birthing one, but it wasn't guaranteed.
It was odd since humans who were born with Dragon Blood were guaranteed to have an offspring that had this Bloodline. However, it wasn't the case here.
He had already seen a Wind Dragon, a Lightning Dragon, he had even seen a Spectral Dragon.
Dragons were all arrogant, even if it manifested in different ways. He was certain that regardless of how the Crystal Dragons acted, they too, deep down, were also cut from this cloth.
And these Bloodlines were the perfect example of how.
When two Dragon Bloodlines were formed in the same body, only one could come out dominant. There would be no mixing or fusion of the two, and this was the ultimate result.
Sometimes, a long line of Crystal Dragons might randomly form a Wind Dragon because the suppressed Wind Dragon genes had a sudden flare up. Or, it could be the opposite in that the Crystal Dragon genes were much too weak.
In the end, this was their result.
Selheira suddenly frowned. "I don't want to go there."
What was even more odd than this was the fact that such a trial... it should definitely be taken on your own, so why had Ryu come with Selheira? Was it even possible? Would they move as though they were alone? But then what was the point of bringing him in here as well?
"Hey," Ryu let go of Selheira's hand, wrapping the arm around her shoulders.
Selheira leaned into him, feeling his warmth and slowing her breathing.
"Come on," Ryu lifted Selheira up, hoisting her onto his back.
The girl was heavy, as heavy as he would assume her Dragon form was. But after tossing her around for a few rounds in bed, Ryu had long since known this.
He was used to his own body being as light as a feather, mostly due to the Northern Heavenly Winds that he had, not to mention his former Bone Structure. However, that didn't mean that that was all his body was capable of taking.
Selheira was taken aback. Her first reaction was to say that she wasn't a little girl, but thinking about her actions, she wasn't all that different from that reality either, now was she.
Being a little willful, she rested her chin on Ryu's shoulder, feeling more at peace.
"Let's go," Ryu said with a smile. He began trudging up the mountain, but he didn't forget about Selheira. In fact, he began to ask her questions.
"How was your childhood, Selheira?"
She was a bit surprised. "Why are you asking all of a sudden?"
"Shouldn't a man know about his wife?" Ryu asked with a smile.
Selheira smiled beside herself, tightening her grip around Ryu.
"Well... my childhood was very good, actually..."
