In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 22 My Mom Transformed?!

"Mmm..." In a daze, Yinlan felt as if a leaf had been stuffed into her mouth. A refreshing and bitter taste spread throughout her mouth. Then, the leaf melted in her mouth like a candy wrapper that had been moistened with water.

An invisible power surged within Yinlan's body. She felt as if she had drunk some kind of "restorative" game item, and her consciousness quickly became clear, waking her from a deep sleep.

"You're awake." Gu Yuena stood beside the stone bed where she was lying, with a puddle of water floating beside her, as if she was about to feed her.

"...What did you give me to eat? How long did I sleep?" Yinlan smacked her lips, savoring the bitter taste, which felt like eating a giant mint leaf. Her brows furrowed slightly.

"You slept for seven whole days. During that time, I fed you the Water of Life and the leaves of the Golden Ancient Tree to maintain your physiological needs," Gu Yuena pointed to the clear water floating beside her. "But I didn't expect your body to be so weak. I had to be careful that you wouldn't burst from the excess life energy when I fed you..."

"How could I have slept for so long?" Yinlan's brows furrowed even more. She couldn't believe that a week had passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuena opened her mouth, but remained silent for a long time. A conflicted expression appeared on her face. Finally, under Yin Lan's questioning gaze, she hesitated for a long time before speaking in a slightly flustered tone, as if she had made up her mind.

"...I'm sorry, it's probably because I put too much pressure on you that day, and you were in that state for so long that your soul power and mental energy were exhausted... But don't worry, I really took good care of you!"

Her apology was clumsy, because it was truly the first time she had ever apologized to anyone. In her entire life as a human (dragon), she had never bowed her head to anyone or done anything like this. Under the subtle influence of Di Tian, ​​as the last hope of the dragon race, she should "always be right."

Over time, she came to believe this, which further shaped her awkward personality: "As the ruler of all soul beasts, I can make mistakes, but I cannot admit them." This led to the tragedy of the soul beast race in the Douluo Continent III era.

Because in reality, the Soul Beast race did not give her any opportunity to make a mistake.

Gu Yuena cannot afford to make mistakes. Once she does, it's an abyss with no second chance. But she was completely unaware of this and single-handedly destroyed the last hope of the Soul Beast race.

Yinlan, who knew Gu Yuena's personality well, was shocked: "You actually apologized?!"

The era of Dou San is only 20,000 years away from the era of Dou Yi. For the Dragon Clan, it is just a blink of an eye. 20,000 years is unlikely to have much impact on the personality of a long-lived species that can easily live for more than a million years, unless it was during a period of major change in the other party's life, but the probability of that is too low. Moreover, Gu Yue Na is in a state of sleeping all the time. Therefore, Yin Lan has always regarded the other party with the stereotype of Gu Yue Na in Dou San.

Yin Lan's words left Gu Yuena speechless, but for some reason, she felt much more relaxed.

Thinking back, it was like this from the very first time they met. Unlike Di Tian's attitude towards her, Yin Lan did not have the awe that had become "pressure" towards her from the beginning. The two communicated with each other as if they were normal friends.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Gu Yuena finally broke the silence, trying to change the subject: "Your mother has taken human form, do you want to go out and see her?"

"So fast?" Yinlan realized that this was probably the first time the other party had ever apologized in his life, and he was a little awkward and shy. So she took the opportunity to back down and stopped asking about the previous apology. She skipped over the awkward atmosphere and looked surprised.

"Hmph, don't you even know whose territory this is!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena suddenly felt superior again, put her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face, and puffed out her chest.

In reality, it was to repair the relationship as quickly as possible that Di Tian used many rare and precious herbs to restore the Blue Silver Emperor to human form at the fastest speed, but...

"However, I think you'd better go out and take a look," Gu Yuena said, her tone slightly ambiguous, as if she had just thought of something. "If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be something wrong with her soul. Let me clarify, it's not my fault!"

Upon hearing this, Yinlan's heart tightened, and she nodded somewhat nervously, "Okay."

In her previous life, she had only seen descriptions of her mother in novels and knew that her mother was a great beauty. The thought of meeting her in person today made Yinlan a little nervous, even though they had lived together for six years.

Without further ado, Gu Yuena reached out and grabbed Yin Lan's hand, pulling them away from this mysterious space.

............................................................

A place of great misfortune, the underground space of the Lake of Life.

"Waaaaah... Brother, you're so pitiful! It's bad enough that they suck my juices every day, but how did I end up being sucked by a blade of grass? Waaaaah..."

"Di Tian is really getting worse as he gets older. He was the one who set the prohibition against anything below the level of ferocious beasts entering the dangerous land, yet he's also the one who violated that prohibition. I really can't understand why he would let a traitor like you, who has taken human form, come and get a share of the spoils. All he does is use his master to pressure me. I think his time as the 'Beast God' is almost up. Hmph! If you don't want to die, stay away from me and get out of my sight!"

"...Ugh~"

As soon as Yinlan stepped out of the mysterious space, she sensed the chaos outside. The mournful howls of the giant silkworm, the angry curses of the giant bear, and the soft sobs of the girl entered her ears one after another.

The latest novel is first published here!

Despite being underground, there was no shortage of light. Lush green vegetation of various colors filled the view, vibrant and beautiful. Looking up at the dome, Yinlan could even see the rippling lake water directly above, like a dream. A giant golden tree stood at the edge of the lake, with only its huge, thick trunk visible beneath the water, the rest of it rising above the surface into the outside world.

This is the place beneath the Lake of Life in this ominous land, a gathering place for star-shaped ferocious beasts to cultivate.

"Waaaah... Baby, you're awake!"

Just as Yinlan was recovering from her shock, she saw a silver-haired loli in a white dress running quickly towards her from afar, tears streaming down her face, and then leaping up to hug Yinlan tightly.

Yinlan stared blankly at the little girl, who wasn't much taller than her, hugging her tightly, and asked in astonishment, "...Who are you?"

"It's Mommy!" The little girl's body trembled, then she released Yinlan, pointing at herself with an incredulous look. Tears welled up in her large eyes, and before Yinlan could say anything, they were already streaming down her cheeks. "That big black dragon said you were unconscious for a week, baby. Don't you recognize your mother?!"

"...Huh?" Yinlan was a little dumbfounded.

Is this my mom? Where is my beautiful mother? What happened to the blue-haired beauty I was promised?
