Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi's teacup was still there, its white rim bearing a faint red lipstick mark, looking incredibly tempting.

"Although she doesn't seem to mean it, she still unintentionally reveals her charming side."

Holding the cup in his hand and gently playing with it, Zhenlong revealed a strange smile.

"Can't we get it? That's not necessarily true."

"Forced love is never sweet? I don't believe it."

"I want to see who you will choose between my support and their support."

I just accidentally referred to myself as "I," which was really a bit careless.

I've known her for over three years, and the more I get to know her, the more I want to be with her.

Regardless of her identity or how she was obtained, as long as she is one of us, that's all that matters.

After all, such a person would be truly terrifying if he were an enemy.

"But perhaps she is the first person in history to defeat a god with a human body?" (Note ①)

Images flashed through my mind of Skadi slaying the giant beast with her holy sword before the Dragon Gate, and battling the dragon bare-handed in Victoria...

Such a person would be incredibly terrifying to have as an enemy.

Of course, compared to her strength, her wisdom is even more terrifying.

It combines immense power and profound wisdom, and is also quite mysterious.

It's hard for Zhenlong to imagine what kind of environment could create such a being.

"PhD......."

"You'll want to become a member of the Great Yan."

It seems we need to be more proactive in some things.

Since Skadi herself mentioned the word "Empress," she should be prepared to become the Empress of the Great Yan.

A faint hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, and the dragon's tail swayed happily behind him.

"I'd like to see how long you can keep up your guard."

Skadi, who had already returned to Rhodes Island, suddenly sneezed, covered her mouth with her hand, and looked around strangely.

"Miss Skadi, you're back?"

Suddenly, the figure of the Ghost Lady appeared beside her and greeted her.

At one or two in the morning, the starry sky was desolate, the moonlight was pale, and there was no one on the bridge of Rhodes Island.

Suddenly, someone appeared beside her and spoke in a very ethereal tone. Fortunately, Skadi was bold enough to know who she was.

If it were someone else, they would probably be scared to death.

"Miss Lin Yuran..."

"I told you not to go out casually."

"Half of your body is still inside the bridge, and the other half is outside."

"It'll scare people."

Skadi turned to look at her and offered a reminder.

Lin Yuran had one half of her body outside and the other half inside, something only a ghost could do.

“I sensed you were coming back, so I came.”

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry, I'll be right out."

The Ghost Lady chuckled to herself, knowing she couldn't scare Skadi, so it was just a joke.

"Phew, it's been over a month since I last saw you. Madam seems even more cheerful. Is there some good news?"

Skadi looked at her and suddenly asked.

Chapter Seventeen: I Want a Child ●

"You suddenly asked me about something, Miss Skadi. You must have something to ask about Dr. Kal'tsit."

The Ghost Lady is a shrewd woman who has lived for hundreds of years. Although she has spent most of her time sealed away, when she was alive, aside from her identity, she was truly...

Her maternal virtue shone throughout the land.

Therefore, it is all too easy to understand the little thoughts of these "children".

"Hmm? Although you are very clever, Madam, and can guess what many people are thinking, that's really not what I meant."

Skadi shook her head, then looked up at the night sky.

"I just want to know why you've become so happy right now, is that not allowed?"

Lin Yuran was a little surprised to hear her say that, but then she laughed.

"Ah."

"It's really not a big deal."

"I obtained some information from the current True Dragon about what happened back then."

"I learned about some of what happened after I was sealed away."

"So I'm just happy."

The ghost lady didn't hide anything and directly explained why she was happy.

"Did you see their tragic end?"

Skadi was curious.

"It's a secret."

Lin Yuran reached out her finger and flicked Skadi's forehead.

It was neither too light nor too heavy; I could feel a slight sensation but it didn't hurt.

"Okay, then we won't pursue this further."

Although the ending of the Ghost Lady's story is unknown, Skadi can guess at most of it based on the information she has.

"Since the past is the past, there's no point in dwelling on it."

The ghost lady floated in front of her, gazed into the distance, and said softly.

"So, Madam, are you at peace now?"

If she truly intends to drop the matter, has she truly let it go?

There's something I haven't let go of.

The ghost lady shook her head.

"I want a child."

"But I can no longer have children."

"Eh....."

"Perhaps this is fate."

Lady Ghost had many regrets.

For example, remaining a virgin until death; wanting a child but being unable to have one; turning into a vengeful ghost before the wedding night, etc...

But these things can be made up for to some extent. The only exception is a child, a being that can only be born with a physical body, to continue one's bloodline.

A life.

This is clearly impossible for the Ghost Lady in her current state.

“I can help you, madam.”

“My life energy can give you a physical form, Madam.”

"But this will disrupt your cultivation."

"If you, madam, can become a god yourself, then you can have a physical form."

"However, after becoming a god, it will be extremely difficult to give birth to one's own bloodline."

Skadi only had a vague understanding of the matter; that was all she knew.

"I know."

"And I know it better than you do."

"However, even though I understand it clearly, I still want to give it a try."

The ghost lady laughed.

"But don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."

"After all, there is still a contractual relationship between us. I will not act recklessly before I have fulfilled the contract."

"Besides, the time spent with Miss Skadi has been quite enjoyable, hasn't it?"

"I broke free from the seal, left the Great Yan, the place that held my past and emotions, and went to live in a new place."

"Miss Skadi helped me the whole time, and you supported me in doing what I wanted to do."

"Over the past three years, this place has gone from being a stranger to being familiar with me, and it has become my new home."

"I am very happy living here, and I have no need to leave."

The Ghost Lady spoke in an almost murmured tone, clearly revealing her true feelings.

"That's good."

"From now on, you can live here. I will support whatever you want to do, madam."

The Ghost Lady has her own ideas and plans, and Skadi will not change her decision.

"And you, Miss Skadi, you're not getting any younger. Have you thought about having children?"

"Or are you trying to delay making a decision?"
