章節 1737: Blood Resonance

Ryu looked over Selheira's body twice and then thrice over as though he didn't trust his senses. In this sort of environment, he didn't want to miss anything, and he didn't trust Selheira to be honest with him about her situation right now. There was no other choice but to check himself. 

"What are you crying for?" Ryu smiled. "A mighty Dragon can't shed tears so easily."

These words had the opposite effect to what they intended. Selheira's tears came forth in a stream, and she buried her head into Ryu's chest. Feeling that her arms alone weren't enough, she wrapped her wings around him as well, practically swallowing him up whole. 

Ryu's expression softened, his hand rubbing her back. He could feel that there was a great amount of weight on her chest, but… 

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Ryu said softly. "If your Bloodlines are still dictating your actions to this extent, doesn't that mean there's still a long path ahead for you to follow on your own?"
