บท 12: Chapter 56: "Heart of Locked Feelings"
Ice-cold, blue blood splattered on the ground. The ice wyrm withdrew its tail. At the sight of a chunk of its missing tail, the ice wyrm's anger burst to its peak!
"Don't come over here."
Yuan Chu stood on its chopped off tail while brandishing her sword in her hand. Her appearance was clearly that of an ordinary man, but it was currently especially threatening.
"I know it hasn't been easy for you to cultivate so far. If you leave now, I'll spare you. Otherwise, I will behead you here!"
The ice wyrm tried to restrain its rage as it fiercely cried out. Its giant blue eyes stared coldly at Yuan Chu. The cut off tail wildly swung about, spurting blood everywhere!
"You speak so pompously, yet aren't you after the dragon egg as well? Wanting to easily snatch the treasure I set my eyes on? In your dreams!"
The ice wyrm suddenly spoke to Yuan Chu. At its cultivation level, it already understood human words. Only, it disdained to speak to them.
"Dragon egg?"
Yuan Chu didn't understand what it meant. The ice wyrm coldly snorted. It lowered its front legs, readying its enormous body for attack!
"I've waited hundreds of years for this dragon egg! That egg has no life force anymore. Even if you take it, you won't be able to hatch it. I may as well eat it! I'll be able to turn into a flood dragon!! If you want to steal it, I'll eat you too!"
Yuan Chu guessed that there might be a dragon egg in that giant clam. However, Ye Chenyuan was probably in there as well. She could not let the wyrm take it away.
With these thoughts in mind, she swung back her sleeves and sneered.
"You want to eat me? You're not afraid of breaking your teeth, are you!"
With this, she leaped forward with her sword again. Although Ji Hongyan was very far away, just the leaking spiritual energy of the battle between Nascent Souls was enough to make her feel very uncomfortable. She shook the giant clam and shouted, "Ye Chenyuan, Ye Chenyuan! Are you in there?
"Ye Chenyuan!"
Ye Chenyuan seemed to have had a long dream. In his dream, a white dragon hovered around him, telling him a story.
It was a very, very long love story. A man of the dragon race fell in love with a mortal. That mortal wasn't a cultivator but someone a dragon had taken from the mortal world as food.
In an unexpected turn of events, he saved the mortal girl and brought her to his side. Their feelings gradually became mutual, and the two vowed to be together until death do they part.
After their affair was brought to light, the dragon race was enraged. At that time, the man had the purest dragon blood. They would never let it be stained with the bloodline of a mortal. Thus, they imprisoned him and used the girl's life to force him to marry a woman he didn't love.
On the day of the wedding, he escaped with the pregnant girl. However, they ended up being chased with the intent to kill from two sides. During their flight, the girl was about to give birth. With her mortal body, it was very difficult to give birth to the son of a dragon. She needed someone else's help. But, at the time, her husband was defending against the attackers and couldn't take care of her. Thus, her child sucked her dry of her life force, and she died full of regret, sweetness, and suffering.
After the man found out, he was heartbroken. In the end, he fought with his life and fled with the girl's corpse and the dragon egg. However, after traveling eighty-thousand miles away, he was no longer able to endure it and succumbed to his wounds, dying.
The only thing that remained of what he had on him when he died was the new house he prepared for his wife and the dragon egg. Everything else turned into the Celestial Pole Lake along with the flesh bodies of him and his wife. Hence, the Celestial Pole Lake had no fish because it was made up of the dragon king's tears.
However, his wish had finally turned into reality. He had died with his beloved.
The dragon egg was pressed under the new house. After a long time with no one to incubate it, its life force faded and it turned into a dead egg.
Ye Chenyuan finally understood why such an exquisitely crafted house lacked spiritual energy; it wasn't meant for a cultivator, nor was it meant for someone of the dragon race. The spiritual energy in the house was forcefully collected by its owner so as to not harm his mortal wife…
Ye Chenyuan lamented in his heart. Why weren't they allowed to be together? They clearly loved each other so much. Were the barriers between bloodline and status really that important?
His sympathetic response deeply influenced the white shadow. It coiled even tighter around him, disappearing into his flesh in the end. Ye Chenyuan opened his eyes with two words in his consciousness.
"Contract complete!"
Although he had contracted with the last pure-blooded white dragon in the world, Ye Chenyuan didn't gain much joy because of the story and the dragon's deceased parents.
In his sea of consciousness, Ye Chenyuan hooked his finger around the white shadow, his voice sincere.
"I will do my very best to hatch you."
The white shadow nudged Ye Chenyuan's hand. With a golden flash, Ye Chenyuan gained an extremely precious inheritance: Dragon Language!
Because the contract between him and the white dragon was a life contract, the dragon's inheritance was also shared with him. The dragon race's magic relied on dragon language. With Ye Chenyuan's current strength, using dragon language wouldn't have much effect on humans, but it would have a definite suppressive function against beasts.
At that moment, Ye Chenyuan heard Ji Hongyan's urgent calling. "Ye Chenyuan! Are you in there?"
Ye Chenyuan reached out and realized he was inside the giant clam. Only then did he recall why he was in there. Under attack by the ice wyrm, he had intended to bring the dragon egg into the Sky Pearl. However, for some reason, the egg wouldn't go in, so he had no choice but to lock both himself and the egg in the giant clam.
Before, even his master was not able to open the clam. It was very sturdy, and if it was like what he thought it is, then even the ice wyrm's sharpest teeth couldn't pierce through the clamshell. No wonder it was a natural magic treasure.
"I'm here. What's happening outside?" Although he couldn't see anything, Ye Chenyuan could hear people fighting. Could it be his master?
Ji Hongyan couldn't help perking up with joy at the sound of Ye Chenyuan's voice.
"You're really in there! You're not hurt, are you?"
Ye Chenyuan used his hands to push at the clam, but it was useless. He frowned. "I'm not hurt. Hurry and tell me, how is the situation outside?!"
Ji Hongyan swept her gaze over Celestial Poles Lake, her expression fearful. "It's really bad. That Yue Chengou guy isn't at late-stage Core Formation at all! He's a Nascent Soul! Though luckily, he is so he can hold back the ice wyrm. But it's really strong. He might not be its rival."
After a moment of thought, Ji Hongyan hurried to say, "We should take advantage of him obstructing the ice wyrm. I'll take you to leave first. That ice wyrm seems to want to eat you!"
Ji Hongyan went to drag the giant clam. Ye Chenyuan hurriedly said, "Don't! If you're alright with it, could you push me closer to them?"
"Closer?" Ji Hongyan didn't agree. "Are you trying to throw away your life?"
Ye Chenyuan was a bit anxious. "Push me over. I have a way to control that ice wyrm!"

But Ji Hongyan didn't believe him. "You? A Foundation Building cultivator? How could that be possible? I'm taking you away!"
"Wait!"
"What is it?" Ji Hongyan stopped and asked.
Although he was unwilling, Ye Chenyuan thought of his master struggling against the ice wyrm alone and reluctantly said, "Could… you kiss the clam?"
One-heart clam. As long as the giant clam could sense the person's sincerity toward himself, it would open. Ji Hongyan had said multiple times that her heart belonged to him. She would definitely be able to open this clam.
