That was a very good sign. It meant that Bright Pearl’s body was gradually awakening. Thus, Xia Fan increased the flow of Immortal Wine.

This mystical liquid gradually awakened Bright Pearl, amazing Xia Fan. It was no wonder the Murder Shrine had once sent an entire regular fleet to get it back, given the wondrous powers of this wine. It didn’t seem to be something as simple as a wine brewed from Yggdragon blood. The brewing process might have compressed or mutated the power in the blood!

In short, through Xia Fan’s efforts, Bright Pearl’s blood began to flow. Crystalline beads of sweat appeared on her skin due to the new replacing the old. The Immortal Wine’s power was eliminating the low-performance cells and replacing them with new cells.

Suddenly, as Xia Fan was examining the reaction from Bright Pearl’s body, her lily-white arms twitched. Xia Fan was delighted, but what happened next caught him completely off guard.

Bright Pearl suddenly opened up her small arms and hugged Xia Fan around the neck. It wasn’t a very tight hug, but it was very gentle, like a girl hugging her father while she was having sweet dreams.

Xia Fan was put in an awkward spot, but his lips soon curved into a smile. He lifted Bright Pearl up out of the crystal coffin, at which point Bright Pearl’s legs curled upward, and she placed her head on Xia Fan’s shoulder.

Xia Fan hugged Bright Pearl and sensed that she was shivering. Her body temperature was still very low, but it was gradually recovering. The sweat flowing from her body had a fragrant smell and was a little sweet, like cream, a very unique scent.

Humans were a species that had never had any resistance toward the young. When they saw newborn puppies or kitties, they would naturally come to like them and want to take care of them, let alone considering a cute little girl.

Xia Fan was beginning to feel the love of a father when the situation took a sudden turn. Bright Pearl suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were like two large crystals, full of intelligence and pleasing to others.

When Bright Pearl realized that it wasn’t her father hugging her, but a stranger that she didn’t recognize, she screamed and then gave Xia Fan a slap.

“Pervert!”

Smack!

…

Reality proved that Bright Pearl wasn’t a cute and obedient girl, but a little monster!

At this moment, she was curled up in a blanket across from Xia Fan. The left side of his face was swollen, and he was preparing to feed Bright Pearl. It seemed like a rather wretched situation.

“What? You’re giving me this to eat?” Bright Pearl pursed her lips as she looked at the nutritional formula in her hand. She said in displeasure, “This stuff isn’t even meant for human consumption! Your father was the best at making bean paste noodles! The taste was simply sublime! After eating it once, you would never forget its taste. As for you, you’re not one bit like your dad! Hmph!”

Father!

Xia Fan was stunned. Although he had never met his father before, this hadn’t stopped him from imagining what his family looked like countless times.

As Bright Pearl struggled to stomach the disgusting nutritional paste, she talked about Xia Fan’s family, and Xia Fan listened earnestly.

When she talked about how Xia Fei was the current patriarch of the Skywings, Xia Fan felt incomparable pride. The Skywings were a powerful existence that were able to overrun Ashen Dragon Moonshadow in minutes, and his father was their leader? There was no doubt that he was incredibly awesome!

But Bright Pearl then added that Xia Fei was mostly responsible for giving orders in combat. Normally, even he couldn’t manage the fiendish Skywings. That was because all the Skywings had unique personalities and were particularly carefree. It was only when they were fighting that they joined together. Normally, they minded their own business. Some of them liked painting and others liked singing. The previous leader of the Skywings, the Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng, was an outstanding carpenter.

Xia Fan was dumbfounded. His grand ancestor was a carpenter?!

Xia Fan found it impossible to imagine an old man who could dominate the Great Chiliocosm putting down his blade to take up a planer and become a carpenter.

After saying all that, Bright Pearl glanced at Xia Fan. “You’re no good. The most important thing to be part of the Skywings is to have a skill. Who doesn’t know how to fight? Everyone with the surname Xia is a madman who can kill without hesitation. If you want to get the respect of those people, you need to have some special artistic talent.”

Artistic talent?

Xia Fan felt nervous. He didn’t seem to have any sort of artistic talent. The Disasters who had taught him as a child were all technical people. He had learned medicine from Doctor Grandpa, beast taming from Fisherman Grandpa, and electronics from Engineer Grandpa. There was no doubt that Xia Fan was multitalented in technical fields, but there wasn’t a cultured cell in his body, and he went off-key when singing.

If he returned to the Skywings without any artistic talent, would he be looked down on?

Xia Fan was worried, but wasn’t it a little too late to take up painting?

Bright Pearl felt happy to see Xia Fan so frustrated. This little monster had always delighted in tormenting others.

Xia Fan asked, “From the sound of it, it seems like you really like the Skywings?”

“Of course!” Bright Pearl made no attempt to hide her admiration for the Skywings. “It’s not just me. All dragons like being with the Skywings. Those guys are normally very carefree, but they’re extremely formidable in combat. They also place a lot of emphasis on friendship and will never abandon any of their friends. I was really happy when I was with them.”

Xia Fan nodded repeatedly. He was also moved when heard about how the Skywings never abandoned anyone and never gave up on anyone.

“What’s the Great Chiliocosm like? Did my father and the others really travel through the Great Chiliocosm in search of me?” Xia Fan asked.

Bright Pearl frowned. “How should I explain it? At the start, it really was to search for you, because your sudden disappearance had all the Skywings going crazy.

“But later on, when we entered the Great Chiliocosm, the situation changed a lot. We found out that the Demonic Ants were spreading like a disease, encroaching on all worlds and putting the Great Chiliocosm in danger. Thus, the Skywings changed their objective from searching for you to guarding the home of the human race.

“Your father is a natural leader, and more and more people gathered around him. In addition to my dragon race, the plant race, the crystal race, and the beast race also decided to join hands with the Skywings. As for other human warriors, there were even more of them.”

Bright Pearl went on and on. She had seen all kinds of things while following the Skywings through the Great Chiliocosm. They had even gone to a universe dominated by dogs. The dogs were not only capable of speech, but were highly intelligent.

They had also once charged into an insectoid universe. Wicked black spiders had turned the universe into a giant web, and all life in this universe was the food of those spiders.

The crystal race were silicon-based lifeforms. Their bodies were translucent and glowed with a faint blue light. They could synthesize light and extract energy from light like they were plants.

The evil fire race was an energy-based lifeform. They had no solid body and appeared like balls of ghostly flame. They drifted about the universe, and the only way to kill them was to use Spatial Sealing methods to bind them within dark space.

In short, the Skywings had encountered many friends and enemies alike in the Great Chiliocosm.

But it was always the Demonic Ants that posed the greatest threat to the Great Chiliocosm!

The Demonic Ants were a bizarre type of lifeform. They were decentralized. Other sapient races would all have some kind of king. Once the king was killed, the enemy army would often fall apart.

However, the Demonic Ants had no king. If one killed their king, a new king would be born in a few seconds. The Demonic Ants were everywhere. The moment Demonic Ants appeared in a universe, that universe would be bound to fall in short order.

Decentralized, special ability immunity, absurd numbers, and the ability to rapidly mutate made it so that there was no end to the wicked things.

Xia Fan had fear instilled into him by Bright Pearl’s words. There was already a Demonic Ant hive in Ashen Moon. Didn’t that mean that the fall of Ashen Moon was only a matter of time?

Xia Fan now basically understood what was going on between the Skywings and Demonic Ants. He then asked Bright Pearl why she was here.

The question made Bright Pearl’s beautiful little face pale.

Bright Pearl recalled that she had been fighting with Demonic Ants. At the time, the Demonic Ants had come together into a single unit, turning into a giant behemoth that could consume planets. In the middle of battle, Bright Pearl had been careless and ended up being swallowed by the Demonic Ant. A moment later, she felt an evil energy draining away her life force.

But at the final moment, something gently put her into hibernation, and then she lost consciousness.

Bright Pearl had Xia Fan look at her feet. On the sole of her right foot was a red mark, which was left from when she went into hibernation.

“After that, I don’t remember anything. They must have believed that I was dead, so they buried me in this place. After many years of fighting in the Great Chiliocosm, this had become a custom for burying our comrades.

“But later on, my mind cleared up a little. I knew that I was in the cold and dark Demon Chasm. I wanted to wake up, but there was no strength in my body, that is, until you arrived. Suddenly, my heart started beating. You discovered this weak signal, and then you injected some strange thing into my body, after which I slowly woke up.”

It turned out that before Xia Fan had gotten close, she had been in a state of true death. It was only when he arrived that her heart started beating again.

This situation was a little illogical. Why had forty thousand years of death instantly changed because of him?

Xia Fan couldn’t understand, but he didn’t linger on the question. Regardless, Bright Pearl was alive, and because of this cute little dragon girl, he finally had a little connection to his family and knew more about them.

Xia Fan looked at the time. It had already been two days since he had entered this level of the Demon Chasm. Traveling Buddha and the others were probably worried sick.

He should probably bring Bright Pearl back, but how was he going to explain things to Traveling Buddha and the others?

As Xia Fan was pondering this problem, Bright Pearl chuckled.

“You blockhead, I’m a dragon. Watch me.”

Bright Pearl closed her eyes and brought her hands together. She began to chant words that Xia Fan couldn’t understand.

Bright Pearl’s body shrank and changed, and she took to the sky!

Two little wings grew from her back, as white as snow, and she had two little toothy canines and large fluttering eyes, a rather cute appearance. This was Bright Pearl’s true body, a little white dragon that wasn’t even the size of Xia Fan’s fist.

Bright Pearl proudly circled in the air, saying to Xia Fan, “What do you think? Cute, right? We Frostseal Megadragons are all pure white like snow.”

“Pretty good, but a little chubby,” Xia Fan said frankly. Bright Pearl had a little baby fat after transforming, her belly bulging out.

Bright Pearl was instantly enraged. Flapping her little wings, she rushed at Xia Fan’s face. “I hate you!”

Smack!
