Chapter 325: Chapter 285: Is that Egg His Daughter?_1

Li Cheng was a bit stupefied; the Divine Dragon before him had actually committed suicide!

Tired of living?

He really hadn’t expected that someone with cultivation at the True God Realm would have such thoughts.

“Why I committed suicide is none of your concern; just know that the task I need you to do is very simple!” the Remnant Soul seemed to fear that Li Cheng would overthink and hurriedly said.

Li Cheng sized up the Remnant Soul, “Speak then!”

The Remnant Soul coughed lightly, “It’s truly simple, help me raise my daughter, just until she comes of age.”

“You have a daughter and you still commit suicide? Have you gone mad? Is there something you can’t talk about?” Li Cheng asked suspiciously.

“You’re the one who’s gone mad. I only found out about my daughter after I died; had I known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have died,” the Remnant Soul said helplessly.

That sounded odd, finding out after death?

Without delving too deep, Li Cheng asked, “Where’s your daughter?”

The Remnant Soul looked toward the Dragon Corpse.

Li Cheng followed his gaze with some surprise; he had probed inside the Dragon Corpse with his Divine Sense and hadn’t found anything extra hidden within. Could it be that something had eluded his Divine Sense?

“She was originally with my corpse, but later someone discovered her and took her away along with my corpse. It was the person who refined artifacts with you,” said the Remnant Soul.

Li Cheng was speechless; if she was in Wushuang’s hands, why were you staring at the corpse?

After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng asked doubtfully, “If she’s in Wushuang’s hands, why don’t you ask her to raise your daughter? Her cultivation is much stronger than mine.”

The Remnant Soul’s expression flickered before finally saying, “She’s not suitable. Only you are, because you control many aspects of the Rule of Fire, and my daughter is a Fire Dragon. She can grow with the help of your power.”

Li Cheng expressed his doubt; it seemed like the Remnant Soul didn’t dare to show himself in front of Wushuang, rather than her being unsuitable.

“That look of doubt in your eyes—shouldn’t it be a bit more discreet? Is it strange that my daughter is a Fire Dragon?” the Remnant Soul interrupted Li Cheng’s thoughts.

Li Cheng touched his chin; was his doubtful expression that obvious? But clearly, he had been mistaken; what he doubted was whether Wushuang had something that scared him.

However, with that said, Li Cheng did become curious. This fellow was a Wood Dragon, and his daughter was a Fire Dragon?

“There’s no need to be surprised. My ability is strong; I had twin daughters, one of wood and one of fire. You only need to take care of the Fire Dragon. So, do you agree?”

Li Cheng nodded, “Helping others is a pleasure; give both to me!”

Raising a Divine Dragon? Why would he refuse such a thing?

The Remnant Soul shook his head, “It’s a long story; in any case, my elder daughter should already be with the Dragon Clan. You only need to raise my younger daughter.”

“Then your elder daughter is missing out; she missed a great foster care provider!” Li Cheng said with some regret, unabashed.

The Remnant Soul seemed to have something to say, but finally sighed, “Get my younger daughter into your hands first. She’s not with you right now.”

Li Cheng wanted to correct the Remnant Soul’s words, but seeing his dejected look, he decided not to speak up.

“Senior, rest assured, I’ll go find Wushuang right away.”

Packing up the Dragon Corpse, Li Cheng retracted his Domain and walked towards the Affairs Hall.

To find Wushuang, he naturally had to go through the Affairs Hall.

Soon, Li Cheng found out through the Affairs Hall that Wushuang lived in Courtyard No.22 of the Earth Character and hadn’t taken any new tasks recently, so she should be at home.

Arriving in front of Courtyard No.22 of the Earth Character, he saw the door tightly closed, the Formation activated. If she was at home, she was probably cultivating.

Boom!

Just as Li Cheng was wondering whether to disturb her, a low explosion came from inside the courtyard, the sound not completely blocked even by the Formation.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow; that definitely sounded like alchemy gone wrong!

After a brief hesitation, Li Cheng casually struck the Formation.

“Who is it? Interrupting this lady’s alchemy, are you seeking death?”

The next moment, an angry voice filled with a tinge of glee came from within, sounding as if a vent had been found for releasing frustration.

Li Cheng was nonplussed; she seemed to have quite a temper!

The Formation opened a gap, and Wushuang’s furious gaze shot out like two sharp swords. However, upon seeing Li Cheng, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, “It’s you, huh? What do you want?”

Li Cheng glanced inside the courtyard and coughed lightly, “The refinement of the Mysterious Heart Grass lacked a bit of fire, too many impurities affecting the compatibility of other Divine Medicines, acting as a fuse and causing the blowup.”

From the debris, Li Cheng had immediately identified the problem.

Wushuang raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you an Artifact Refiner?”

“Ahem, as for Alchemy, I also have some knowledge,” Li Cheng said with a dry laugh.

Wushuang turned and walked towards the overturned Pill Tripod on the ground, setting it upright again, “Come on then, you try refining!”

Entering the courtyard, Li Cheng couldn’t help feeling that if he couldn’t make the pills, he might get beaten up.

What Wushuang was refining was a level-two Breakthrough Divine Pill, used to aid the breakthrough from the True God Realm to the Divine Monarch Realm. This meant Wushuang was about to step into the Divine Monarch Realm.

Facing such a powerful being, if she wanted to hit someone, Li Cheng probably wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping.

But when it came to Alchemy, Li Cheng truly wasn’t afraid, even if it was a level-two Divine Pill.

Taking the medicinal ingredients, Li Cheng coughed lightly, “Then I shall demonstrate my meager skills.”

As he spoke, the ingredients floated up and, as Divine Fire surged, all the materials melted like snow under the sun, quickly being refined.

Following that, essences of various Divine Medicines fused orderly and began to revolve rapidly before Wushuang’s eyes; spinning into twelve Divine Pills. As the Divine Fire slowly subsided, the twelve Divine Pills took shape!

In the space of a tea time, a batch of level-two Breakthrough Divine Pills was made!

Wushuang’s eyes widened; all twelve Divine Pills were of supreme quality!

For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

Then looking at the Pill Tripod beside her, was that even called alchemy?

She had spent half a year, but the result was simply blowing up her furnace.
