NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 397: Daddy!
Chapter 397: Daddy!
However, human women give birth to live young. Could it be that the Crystal Demon Emperor was female? But Tang San was pretty sure the Crystal Demon Emperor was male... or at least they appeared to be male.
This was a bit confusing.
No, it was a lot more than a bit confusing.
Moreover, the little girl in front of him was growing a little too quickly.
After eating one-third of the eggshell in just a short time, she had grown to the size of a three-year-old human child. Her initially minuscule body had grown, and her eyes seemed sparkled. However, at this moment, her eyes seemed filled with hunger.
Tang San undoubtedly found this scene truly magical. But at this moment, he could do nothing except watch silently.
Bit by bit, the eggshell was eaten, and the little girl's body grew little by little. When the last piece of eggshell was finished, she licked the tips of her fingers as if she’d just eaten a delicacy, then looked at Tang San with her beautiful big blue eyes.
The rich life aura and fortune continued to surge toward her. The Heavenly Bloom's song had stopped by now.
Suddenly, the little girl opened her arms toward Tang San. "Daddy, hug me!"
"What."
Tang San stared in shock at the little girl, who now seemed about six years old, leaping toward him. Instinctively, he picked her up, feeling more confused than ever.
The little girl's eyes were filled with innocence.
I'm not your daddy; that must be the Crystal Demon Emperor, no?
In his previous life, Tang San and his wife Xiao Wu had a son and a daughter. At this moment, the little girl that had just rushed into his arms instantly evoked his longing for his daughter from another plane, making his heart soften.
He took out a shirt from his storage bracelet and covered the little girl with it. "How come you can talk? You were just born minutes ago."
"Daddy, daddy!" the little girl called him cheerfully.
Tang San felt a bit helpless. He looked down again at the eighteen golden lotus seeds at his feet but ultimately did not make a move.
He understood that this was the very core of the micro plane he was in, and the lotus seeds were the core of this core. If he tried anything, he could easily cause a massive disaster.
Therefore, even though he knew that these were the absolute treasures of the Hell Garden, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Tang San's bloodline power was also rapidly evolving while the crystal egg hatched. More importantly, he had touched upon the core secrets of this world. He wasn't in a hurry to leave. Partly it was because the little girl in his arms was still absorbing massive amounts of life energy to replenish herself, and it was several times more than what Tang San had absorbed. Additionally, he hoped to use this opportunity to elevate all his bloodline imprints to the peak of the eighth order.
However, as the singing paused, or maybe as the Fortune Stones were refined, the luck power here clearly began to weaken, and the life energy also diminished somewhat.
At the same time, the black ripples of misfortune outside the Heavenly Bloom area had also faded significantly.
"What is your name?" Tang San asked the little girl in his arms.
"Daddy, daddy," the little girl murmured.
Tang San didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I guess you don't have a name, so I'll give you one. Since you were born from a crystal egg, let's call you Crystalline. How about that?"
"Crystalline, Crystalline, good!" Her voice sounded a bit rough, as if she wasn’t exactly sure how to use her vocal cords, but the little girl was obviously smart, as she understood Tang San's words.
After observing his surroundings, Tang San had an idea. He raised his hand and gently touched the innermost petal of the Heavenly Bloom beside him. The energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique began to circulate within him!
Without a doubt, if this Heavenly Bloom was actually some kind of primitive nymph, it would have a first-tier bloodline. At this moment, Tang San still had room for two bloodline imprints. How could he not seize such an opportunity?
As his energy circulated, Tang San immediately felt a vast amount of life energy pouring into his body, but no bloodline imprint formed.
Alas, it seemed that the Heavenly Bloom couldn't produce its own bloodline power.
What a pity!
Calculating the time, Tang San reluctantly glanced at the golden lotus seeds on the ground. He knew it was time for him to leave.
As the power of fortune weakened, he knew it was impossible for his Celestial Fox Transformation to break through to the eighth order unless he stayed here for who knew how long.
Of course, he couldn't take that risk, especially since his companions were anxiously waiting for him.
It had been a truly worthwhile trip, but it was time to leave.
At once, he leaped up, holding Crystalline. His wings unfurled behind him, and he gracefully flew toward the edge of the Heaven Garden.
Outside the Heaven Garden were swaying cool-colored flowers. Each flower was at least at the peak of the ninth order. Tang San could barely handle a few of them, but not this many.
Previously, he had borrowed the power of the crystal egg to assimilate the cool-colored flowers. Now that he was leaving, could the Blue Silver Emperor still do that? He was not sure. This was why Tang San was eager to go. He was worried that the assimilation effect might not be there any longer. If that happened, he might be trapped here forever.
The Blue Silver Emperor vines cautiously extended outside the Heaven Garden as Tang San tried to recall the same feeling he had when he assimilated the azure flowers earlier.
Fortunately, the assimilation effect hadn't disappeared. One by one, azure flowers began to appear on the Blue Silver Emperor.
But at that moment, a strange sensation spread through Tang San's body. He felt as if two forces suddenly surged in and converged within him.
Intense misfortune, malice, and negative emotions surged through the Blue Silver Emperor vines from the Hell Garden, while luck and life energy also poured in from the Heaven Garden!
Behind Tang San, the four-tailed Celestial Fox with its four tails emerged, and intense luck fluctuations spread almost instantly.
Strangely, the four-tailed Celestial Fox's shadow behind Tang San changed color almost immediately, with one half turning black and the other half turning white.
The two forces intertwined and clashed within Tang San's body.
Not good!
He seemed to have become a proxy for these forces to fight each other!
This situation hadn't occurred when he first entered the Heaven Garden because he had come from the Hell Garden and hadn't yet been imbued with the Heaven Garden's aura. However, upon leaving, Tang San now had the auras of both gardens. And due to the assimilation ability passed on by the crystal egg and the Celestial Fox Transformation's control over luck, he had practically become a conduit for these forces.
He needed to get out immediately or quickly return to the Heaven Garden.
Tang San hurriedly tried to control his body, attempting to pull himself back into the Heaven Garden. He knew that in order to leave, he couldn't test the waters like before but had to rush out in one go, preventing the two energies from interacting.
However, his understanding came a bit too late. He felt a sense of stiffness when he tried to control his body forcibly, and his movements became difficult. He could only move bit by bit, but the two energies entering his body grew stronger, making his actions increasingly sluggish.
At that moment, Crystalline suddenly called out softly. "Daddy!"
Tang San's gaze shifted downward, and he was shocked to discover that Crystalline’s short silver hair had turned white on one side and black on the other. And though her face remained unchanged, her eyes had also changed colors in the same way!
She seemed to be in some pain, and she was continuously calling out to Tang San, "Daddy, daddy..."
