--- Chapter 136 ---
Yu Long left behind a ghost clone with the help of [Art of Ghost], leaving Fran to her own device. He had already taken a sample of Meng Yiran's blood and was curious to see how impressive her physique was as the person above the mortal realm.
'Thank you, Your Majesty.' As Yu Long stepped away into the heavy rain, he could hear Meng Yiran's grateful voice.
Yu Long didn't turn around and replied, 'I didn't do anything except wake Fran up. It's up to her whether she could accept the reality or not with all she had due to your presence.'
'Still, thank you...'
'Fran is one of my creations, who followed me to the very death in the past. If no one could help Fran, I would give her some hands because of my past attachments.' Yu Long walked away.
'Tell her I'll be waiting in the nearby courtyard if she decides to strengthen her Essence Sphere.'
Meng Yiran blinked at Yu Long's figure in the heavy rain. She smiled a little because he was such a bashful young man.
'I think the way he acts is called Tsundere.' Meng Yiran giggled as she recalled Fran's teaching years ago.
...
The rain couldn't touch Yu Long's body for some reason, as if an invisible barrier covered up to 0.1 millimeters from his skin or clothes. The water droplets bounced off him.
Yu Long arrived at the courtyard and sensed someone waiting for him. He looked ahead and saw Lily coming with a towel.
"You are still awake?"
Hearing Yu Long's question, Lily shook her head gently and replied, "As a maid, how could I sleep before my young master? Not to mention, tonight is quite rainy."
Lily approached Yu Long and gently rubbed his hair with the towel. She wiped the grime from his face and neck, giving a satisfying sigh after Yu Long looked presentable enough.
Although he wasn't that dirty because the fight earlier couldn't make him sweat, Yu Long let Lily do her things. He smelled the towel's fragrance and warmness, smiling at how thoughtful this money-grubber maid of his was.
Nevertheless, Lily knew Yu Long the best as she accompanied him the longest in his third life.
"Done. You shouldn't have disappeared like that anymore." Lily scolded with a pout.
"Oh, you noticed?" Yu Long chuckled in return.
Lily rolled her eyes, "Young Master, I've known you since you were a baby. I always have my eyes on you."
"Well, the same goes for Hong Guan and Chu Yueli, as they were eavesdropping on our conversation not far away."
"Well, well, Lily." Chu Yueli comes out from the corner with a friendly smile. "That's not a nice way to say things about your colleagues."
"Indeed." Yu Long shrugged at Lily's remark. "Entering the Divine Origin Realm is like qualitative change to your overall strength, but by piling your profound energy and other forces. You may obtain a greater yield."
"It's my hypothesis. Since I researched profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations, What do you think will happen to them upon reaching the Divine Origin Realm?"
"Evolution. Those qualities will evolve alongside you, becoming part of you to the genetic level completely."
"It's Irreversible, isn't it?" Hong Guan mumbled. "I will become half-human and half-dragon to its truest sense..."
"What's the matter? Did you guys regret choosing this path?" Yu Long teased them.
The maids shook their heads immediately and answered, "No."
"We are grateful!"
Yu Long smiled, "That's why I love you three."
"Eh?" Lily was shocked.
"This..." Chu Yueli got caught off guard.
"I love you too, young master." Hong Guan was the only one who returned Yu Long's confession with a gentle smile.
They planned a few things before the Death Knight's arrival. Yu Long bade good night when he believed their plans were good enough for tonight.
"I still have to get the Evil God's Water Seed." Yu Long returned to his room. "The Heaven Basin Secret Realm. There should be a time dilation between the secret realm and the outside world, allowing to get the Evil God's Dark Seed in the Azure Sky Continent."
"Aih, tomorrow will be a long day."
As Yu Long meditated beside the bed, he glanced at the sleeping Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue. He'd do anything to protect his loved ones.
Of course, Yu Long also felt he was forgetting about something.
'Ah, that old man.' Yu Long remembered his plan with Yun Canghai.
Because the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament's schedule changed abruptly, their plan was 'unfortunately' pushed back by one day. Yu Long scratched his cheek and said, "Uh, I will tell him tomorrow."
"I have more important things to do." He added while pulling a vial filled with Meng Yiran's blood. He activated [Kaiju Maker] and started scanning.
He did this sudden research to find a method to fuse one's origin with Kaiju's essence sphere.
In Yu Long's past life, no one could use Kaiju's essence sphere beside him, its maker. Meng Yiran's fate made him realize [Kaiju Maker] had an unexplored path, something he failed to achieve back then.
"As long as I can achieve a temporary fusion that won't damage each subject, it can be considered a great success." Yu Long grinned in anticipation.
Yu Long took a huge first step to discover his [Kaiju Maker]'s true potential.
