Chapter 9 - Wielder of the Red Dragon Empress

After thinking all that Shu said to her instantly.

"I think you got it wrong although I am indeed talented and very handsome I don't think I can do something like that I am but a normal human." Shu refused, understanding his limits although tempting achieving immortality is no joke. If he was a dumb MC from some novel who don't have any ability but can only talk he would've definitely said some cliche lines like 'you saved my life, I will put my last bit of blood to build a new body for you 'to impress the beauty. But he's not gonna do that he's not some MC but a normal person.

"Why not? you are perfectly capable of doing it and let me tell you, you are not a human anymore you are an infant dragon. The human body has died, this is your new body that I have made for you by copying the previous body ." Scarlett replied as well clarified his doubt about the whole dying thing and race change.

Shu is very astonished, so that means he really died like literally, he was dead but then he was reborn in this dragon body which Scarlett created that looks the same. Though he is relieved that he didn't go to another world.

"Do you mean that I am now a dragon not human? " Shu asked still a little doubtful.

"Yes, the mortal human body is really weak, a single attack in the heat and you're dead." Scarlett replied with obvious ridicule mixed in.

Shu's mouth twitched a bit after he heard this, so dragon's don't die even with a wound in the heart.

"Well what can I say, I think this is only natural as we don't have magic to heal or protect our body's. " Shu reasoned.

"So why are you calling me an infant dragon, although not an adult I'm at least seventeen years old." Shu was quite bothered by being called an infant and brat.

"Hahahaha... what are you saying brat, you might be seventeen years old by human standard but to even an ordinary dragon you're a child haha....." Scarlett laughed at Shu when she heard his complaint, it is indeed just like she said for an ordinary dragon can live for at least ten thousand years to twenty thousand years if nothing happened and it grows up safely. And to her, an immortal dragon seventeen years are nothing but like seventeen seconds.

"Most normal dragons live for at least ten thousand years if they don't die, so for dragon's seventeen years old is still a baby you understand? and I'm an immortal, Don't think that just because I look like a woman of twenty-eight years old by human age I'm way older then you. So don't think much about it okay." Scarlett said this to him.

After hearing the explanation from Scarlett, Shu understood why she was calling him a baby if ten thousand years is normal then he is really a baby.

After hearing Scarlett's explanation he realises that this is indeed the case if a normal Dragon can live for ten thousand years then he is indeed a baby in their eyes.

"Okay, I understand... that you're an old granny who is, even more, older than the oldest ancestor of my family right?" Shu asked and smiled evilly.

Scarlett after hearing the teasing tone of Shu's reply got so angry, she wished to kill him and nothing more. No matter dragon or not, every woman is very cautious about there age and an old woman like her is even more sensitive about such matters. That's why she chooses to take the form of a mature beautiful woman.

"Bastard how dare you say that who said I'm an old ignorant fool I'm perfectly grown young woman. You hear me I'm just an adult woman." Scarlett protested firmly.

Shu is bewildered by Scarlett's shamelessness, how dare she claim to be a fine grown woman. But he didn't say it out loud as he knew he will get beaten to a pulp.

"I get it, big sis, now please will you tell me why did I turned into a dragon even if you bring me back to life by giving me a new body but I don't have any dragon DNA?" Shu is quite curious about this matter and a little worried will he become a giant monster in future?

"Well as you know that the human you died at the ally, so to save you I gave you my bloodline origins and reconstructed a new dragon for you." Scarlett explained while smiling she is quite pleased with the way Shu addressed her, as the empress and with her cold personality no one called her big sis before.

"And don't think about it so much you would have turned into a dragon anyway."

Scarlett added and shrugged her shoulders as if it were nothing. Shu after seeing the smiling Scarlett is stunned for a moment scary or not she is undeniably extremely beautiful there's no doubt about that but he quickly shook his head and returned to the focus on the situation. Hearing this explanation Shu understood what happened, although he didn't understand what a blood origin is. But connected this with the dragon blood. Still here is a thing he didn't understand was that why would he turn to a dragon?

"Why do you say that I would turn to a dragon?" Shu can't help but ask Scarlett.

Scarlett rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Don't you still realise? why do you have red hair and eyes when no one in your family before has it? although handsome why do you look more like a European than Japanese?"

Scarlett asked back looking at Shu who is deep in impression.

"....Because you had me inside your soul from the moment you were born you are the third possessor of the dragon of destructions soul in his body."

This was the last piece Shu needed to solve the puzzle after knowing all the facts he understood everything. The reason for his abnormal hair and eye colour and not so Japanese look's, well saying that he is relieved after knowing the reason behind his rare features is justified after all he always wondered why was he so different than others. But there's still a point that he needed to clarify.

"So you're saying the I'm not the first one who has possessed you?" Shu asked curiously he wanted to know what happened to the past possessors.

Hearing Shu asking the most obvious question that Scarlett definitely wanted to avoid. She turned her face to the Said and her eyes flashed with sadness and complex emotions.
