Xu Ran and Gu Yuena embraced each other for a long time, without uttering a single word, immersed in the hard-won closeness.
Gu Yuena relaxed her body as well, soft and boneless as she lay on Xu Ran's chest.
"Na'er, I like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you. If I were to set a time limit on this affection, I would hope it to be a hundred million years," Xu Ran said passionately, looking down at the exquisite beauty in his arms, a hint of craving in his eyes.
"Like me? You're just lusting after my body," Gu Yuena originally felt deeply touched, but seeing Xu Ran's lustful gaze, she couldn't help but feel indignation.
Xu Ran was still the Ancestral Dragon! Who would have thought he'd be this kind of dragon!
"If I didn't lust after your body, how could our Dragon Clan prosper and thrive in the future?" Xu Ran declared with seeming righteousness. "Our numbers are few, and reproduction is not easy. If we don't make an effort in other aspects, then what awaits us is extinction."
"Throughout the ages, countless powerful soul beasts have perished, not in battle, but because their bloodlines ended. Once the bloodline is broken, the lineage naturally disappears."
"Numerous powerful soul beasts vigorously pursued power, uninterested in other matters, which also led to their extinction. Although our Dragon Clan is strong, our capabilities in other aspects are even stronger. That's why, through the changes of time and the transformation of seas into mulberry fields, our Dragon Clan continues to exist."
"But over time, you've forgotten the essence of life and even take shame in it. Truly, the world's morals are declining," Xu Ran lamented. When did 'lecher' become a derogatory term? When did the act of nurturing life become something so shameful?
It's simply forgetful of one's roots.
If it weren't for the old lechers, this world couldn't have persevered for years without becoming barren.
It is precisely the countless old lechers who have made significant contributions to the continuity and advancement of civilization. So, if you are an old lecher at this moment, please do carry on.
Everyone knows that a woman is poison, a Hero's Tomb, but Xu Ran possesses a fearless spirit. What does it matter if he throws his life away?
"Ah?" Gu Yuena was stunned, feeling somewhat restless as she sat on Xu Ran's lap, troubled by his words. Although she found his argument reasonable, something still felt off to her.
"No, it can't be right. I have this feeling you're tricking me."
"Even if you are the Ancestral Dragon, I won't… Don't you even think about it." Gu Yuena's face blushed, and although Xu Ran was the Ancestral Dragon, she wouldn't let him command her. If Xu Ran expected her to spread her legs and she just complied, would she have any dignity left?
After all, she was the Silver Dragon King, the embodiment of half of the Dragon God's essence.
Even if she couldn't surpass Xu Ran, she still had her own pride.
Though procreation was an important matter of Dragon Ethics, with the Sword of the Divine Realm still firmly locked above their heads, that terrifying Sword of the Three Realms Judgment made her unable to think of anything else.
Her body, attracted by the Ancestral Dragon, felt the arrival of spring, the season when all beings breed and grow. But she could still control herself.
Even if Xu Ran, the Ancestral Dragon, exuded a potent hormonal scent, she wouldn't just go bad and allow herself to be at his disposal.
"Really?" Xu Ran furrowed his brows. Had Gu Yuena become smarter?
"Of course, it's true. I won't agree to your rude requests," Gu Yuena pouted and spoke in a melancholic tone. Male dragons, none of them were good. Even if she hadn't experienced certain things, it didn't prevent her from holding such thoughts.
"Then let it be, after all, you will be the one begging and clinging to me later," Xu Ran said nonchalantly. At this moment, what mattered most to Gu Yuena was becoming the Dragon God. Both the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King held half of the Dragon God's essence, and Gu Yuena's desire for the bloodline essence from the Golden Dragon King was real, both physically and psychologically.
"What do you mean by that? I would never be that kind of person!"
```
"You wish!"
Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Xu Ran with a defiant expression.
She wasn't like those bad women out there, how could she possibly beg Xu Ran? Could it be that if Xu Ran disagreed, she would take the initiative to climb on top of him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. She, Gu Yuena, would never be such a person no matter what.
Unless Xu Ran deliberately provoked her to the point where she couldn't bear it, only then might such a scenario occur.
"Here, try a taste," Xu Ran said as he nicked his own index finger, and scarlet blood flowed out. The Ancestral Dragon Blood was a great tonic, and Gu Yuena would understand that in a moment.
"What are you doing?" Gu Yuena looked at Xu Ran suspiciously, but the blood on Xu Ran's finger looked like a red gem, seemingly tempting her.
Especially inside her, the power of the Silver Dragon within her seemed to have encountered something particularly tempting. Like repels like, opposites attract, the Ancestral Dragon was stronger than the Dragon God, and naturally, its blood contained the secrets of the Golden Dragon's bloodline that Gu Yuena needed.
Gu Yuena shook her head. She always felt that Xu Ran had ulterior motives, and his words were so ambiguous. If she didn't know what he meant, she might suspect that Xu Ran was thinking of something indecent.
Seeing that Gu Yuena was hesitating and seemed to be worried about something, Xu Ran simply extended his index finger.
Hisss, he's asking for my life!
And Gu Yuena's eyes widened even more, her mouth slightly open, momentarily unable to react.
"Ooh," Gu Yuena's pretty face blushed with embarrassment, wanting to pull Xu Ran's finger out, but in the next moment, the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence erupted within her body.
Xu Ran's strength wasn't necessarily stronger than Gu Yuena's; it was even possible he was weaker. After all, Xu Ran was only at the hundred thousand year "Cultivation Level", and no matter how heaven-defying his bloodline was, if his "Cultivation Level" didn't keep up, it was all meaningless.
However, Xu Ran's bloodline strength was much stronger than Gu Yuena's. The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline was filled with the secrets of countless Dragon Clan bloodlines, including the power secrets of the Golden Dragon that Gu Yuena needed.
According to the System Miss, Gu Yuena could devour the Golden Dragon King's power and then become a true Dragon God, or she could draw nourishment from his Golden Dragon bloodline to evolve slowly, eventually evolving to become a Dragon God at her own pace.
The latter option was not only cleaner but also safer.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Yuena was intoxicated, completely lost in the pleasure of absorbing the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.
That feeling could only be described with two words: overwhelming.
"Mmmh," Gu Yuena's jade hand tightly grasped Xu Ran's arm, her lips forming an O shape as she greedily slurped the enticing blood that almost drove her mad.
Gu Yuena was the manifestation of half of the Dragon God's origin, inherently incomplete. The moment she received Xu Ran's energy, she felt almost whole, as if the gaps in her being were being filled.
That feeling of fullness, of powerful strength, and the long-missed power of the Golden Dragon was hard for her to contain.
At this moment, Gu Yuena wished nothing more than to drain Xu Ran dry—of course, it was his blood she wanted to drain.
However, once Gu Yuena learned that there were other ways to gain this power, it was the same. After all, blood essence, blood essence, was even more precious than blood.
