Everyone noticed the baby's special reaction, and all eyes turned towards it.
Gu Yuena folded her arms and looked over sideways.
At that moment, Lan Xuanyu giggled continuously in Di Tian's arms, like a restless little meatball, happily waving his hands and feet.
Gu Yuena: ?
Di Tian looked oddly at Zi Ji and whispered, "He really likes our lord... Is it because we carry scents from our lord on us, that's why he likes to be close to us?"
Zi Ji also looked odd as she nodded, "It should be, shall we continue to take him over and see?"
"Mmm."
Gu Yuena put her hands down, looking at the drool dripping from Lan Xuanyu's happy chin with a look of disgust, and silently stepped back.
Is this a human child? How terrifying.
But at the moment Lan Xuanyu was already happily opening his arms, and even before Gu Yuena held him, he seemed more excited than he was in Bi Ji's embrace.
"Yiya! Yiya yiya!"
He opened his mouth that had only two milk teeth, and the closer he got to Gu Yuena, the more eagerly he showed his desire for a hug, his upper body even trying to escape from Di Tian's embrace.
Gu Yuena, however, looked at this scene with extreme fear, and couldn't help but question, "Why are you bringing him over to me?!"
Di Tian stopped in his tracks, looked over towards Lin Yi on the stage with a secretive mumble, "The Golden Dragon Lord asked me to bring him over."
"Ah?"
Gu Yuena looked at Lin Yi in surprise and then back at the "human child" that seemed like a little devil; she suddenly doubted the wisdom of dragons.
Why did Lin Yi want Di Tian to bring the child over? He knows I detest humans, is he deliberately wanting to see me embarrassed?
Is he targeting me like this, bullying me...
Feeling aggrieved, Gu Yuena thought to herself and then glared fiercely at Lan Xuanyu.
Di Tian, holding the little guy next to Gu Yuena, saw the little guy reach out his chubby little hands eagerly, already touching Gu Yuena's silver and gold intertwined hair.
He was so eager he was about to cry.
From this woman, he could feel the presence of both dad and mom, it was so close...
Even Di Tian felt pity seeing him like this and tentatively said, "My lord, you see how much he likes you, why don't you try holding him for a bit..."
"Shut up."
Gu Yuena frowned, squeezing out these five words through clenched teeth.
Right then, Lin Yi accidentally coughed, "Cough."
Gu Yuena, startled like a deer, quickly stretched out her hands and took Lan Xuanyu.
"Yah!"
Despite only recently coming out of an egg, the little guy is quite strong. He excitedly wiggled his chubby body in Gu Yuena's embrace as if dancing an unknown dance.
Gu Yuena held the wiggling meatball with a gloomy face, so gloomy it almost could drip water.
"You, be, behave!"
She bit out these words.
The little guy stopped his excited dance, his eyes bright and focused on Gu Yuena, and then he opened his mouth and "bit" onto Gu Yuena's cheek.
"Awu—"
While it was a bite, it was more like a kiss, just that it left Gu Yuena's face covered in drool.
"Hm?!!!"
Di Tian's face showed extreme horror.
Gu Yuena had a frozen look, completely unaware that this would happen, let alone that the human child would be so bold!
"Get lost!"
She growled and flung the chubby little guy out of her arms.
Di Tian's eyes widened as he hastily stepped back a few steps, raising his hands high to catch the bewildered Lan Xuanyu in his arms after being abandoned following the kiss.
Bi Ji silently walked over, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the drool from Gu Yuena's face, almost hearing the low, panting breath filled with the angry roar of a dragon.
She knew that her master was on the verge of erupting.
The abandoned Lan Xuanyu sat bewildered in Di Tian's arms, staring at his mom. After a while, he suddenly burst into heart-wrenching sobs, crying inconsolably, no matter how Di Tian tried to comfort him.
"You little brat! You still have the face to cry!"
Gu Yuena was so angry that scales emerged from her skin.
At that moment, Di Tian realized that even though the baby was crying so bitterly, he still longingly looked in Gu Yuena's direction, wishing for Gu Yuena to hold him once more.
Why was that? He was utterly puzzled.
What exactly was the relationship between this little one and them?
Di Tian could only turn to Lin Yi, puzzled, and asked, "Golden Dragon Lord, do you know who he really is?"
Having watched the drama unfold, Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "He comes from the Soul Land, thirty thousand years in the future."
"Thirty thousand years in the future?!"
At this, everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Yi.
Wang Qiu'er and Ju Zi, both from ten thousand years later, showed shocked expressions. The third Spatiotemporal Gate that had opened was from twenty thousand years after their time!
Lin Yi, seemingly all-knowing like a god, sat calmly and continued, with everyone pricking up their ears to listen.
"It seems that he has just crawled out of an egg not long ago. This is the time when a hatchling is most attached to their mother."
The others exclaimed, "An egg?!"
"Could it be… could it be that he's not a human child?!"
Di Tian looked in astonishment at the sobbing baby in his arms. The child looked entirely human.
He couldn't sense any soul beast aura from the child at all, just a familiarity that made him want to silently protect... This was also why Di Tian enjoyed holding the little one so much.
Lin Yi shook his head with a smile that was not quite a smile: "His identity is complicated, and it's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two, but what I can tell you is that his mother is among you."
"Who?!"
"What?!"
Just then, everyone suddenly realized Lin Yi's gaze was directed toward Gu Yuena, who was standing with a face full of disdain, wiping her face with a handkerchief.
"Disgusting."
Gu Yuena muttered as she wiped her face, but then she suddenly noticed that the atmosphere had turned strange.
Everyone was looking at her, including Lin Yi.
"His mother is me?! What kind of joke is that?"
Gu Yuena reacted incredulously and with a hint of amusement.
Lin Yi silently looked at her.
In that moment, the handkerchief in Gu Yuena's hand dropped suddenly to the ground.
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Is it… me?"
"Yes, you are his biological mother, and he carries the Dragon God's bloodline within him."
"My… my child with whom?"
Gu Yuena's mind felt like it had been struck by a blow, and she remained dazed, unable to comprehend for a while.
This child carried the Dragon God's bloodline, but I am the Silver Dragon King. Even if I have a very small portion of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline due to a reward, it's not enough to account for the presence of the Dragon God's bloodline in my offspring.
It made no sense...
Unless the child's father bore the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, or rather… directly the Dragon God's bloodline!
The only person Gu Yuena could think of with the Dragon God's bloodline in this world was—
She looked in shock toward Lin Yi, who was seated on the platform.
