Death… And Me

Chapter 3088 Wouldn't Change a Thing

Yuan knew nothing about that, though. "So that's how it is... I should have understood that when I got this bloodline myself. Palace Master, was it a similar event to my own? Did your ancestor also fall into a blueish Spatial Rift?"

Drefin shook his head. "I'm not sure. It has been way too long. How many generations have come and gone since then? What I know is that the bloodline was indeed acquired there."

Tana couldn't help but ask. "Father, what will happen to Yuan?"

Drefin and the other elders narrowed their eyes. Yuan's Charybdis Bloodline was obviously many times better than Drefin's. But that would also attract problems from the outside. Too many Sea Demon Beasts saw Yuan and his powerful bloodline at the entrance. No doubt the news about it would spread soon, and Yuan might become a target. Naturally, they couldn't allow anything to happen to him. "Yuan, I will have to select a protector for you so he can be by your side at all times," Drefin quickly reached a decision. "Be aware that I won't be able to let you leave the Saramina Sea Demon Territory anytime soon. Even if you do, it can't be alone. This treatment will continue until you reach at least Stage Nine."

Rean had mentioned to Yuan about this on the ay to the Saramina Sea Demon Palace. If he wanted to give up, that was the time to turn around and leave before the others could feel his bloodline. Rean even offered a way to hide the power of Yuan's bloodline if he wanted.

However, Yuan did all of this for one reason and one reason only, Tana! So he didn't even think twice before turning Rean's offer down and making his way to the Palace. Hearing Drefin saying the same words as Rean didn't surprise Yuan anymore. "Yes, Palace Master. I understand."

Drefin was obviously satisfied with the answer. "Elder Crighu, I will have you take care of the arrangements."

Crighu was also a Golala Shark with the Charybdis Bloodline. It's just that his own wasn't as concentrated as Drefin's or Tana's. Nonetheless, as a member of the Golal Shark Race, he was loyal to Drefin and wasn't much weaker either. He was perfect for the job. "Leave it to me, Drefin. I will make sure he will receive the proper training and that no one will touch him."

Drefin then returned his attention to Yuan. "Alright, continue your story. What happened after you found the blood?"

One of the elders immediately intervened. "Better than that, why didn't you keep it and bring it back to the palace. Do you have any idea how important it was for us? And yet, you went out and absorbed the blood yourself? Palace Master, as important as he might have become now, it is also a fact he didn't think about the Palace."

He was from the Sea Golden Horse race, the same as Clodou, Nafesvo. Anyone could tell he was trying to cause trouble for Yuan. Nonetheless, it was also true that his words made sense.

Rean faintly smiled and spoke. "Elder, why are you going around with your words? Just say it plainly. Yuan is nothing but a puny Horned Cloud Shark, so the Charybdis Bloodline was wasted in him. Isn't that what you want to say?"

"You!" Nafesvo grew angry, seeing a mere Stage Six Demon Beast treat him like that.

"Enough!" Drefin didn't let it continue, though. "Garfield, as harsh as it might seem, it is indeed true that the bloodline would have been better used in someone with a higher talent and better bloodline. Don't speak anymore and let Yuan speak for himself." He found it strange how carefree Garfield looked, but this was not the time for that.

Rean shrugged but didn't say anything anymore. Yuan couldn't do much about the elders. However, the fact he was still 'bound' to the Soul Binding Contract was also true. "Answering Elder Nefasvo, at that moment, I didn't think about anything else, indeed. I only saw a chance to grow stronger, so I took it. There wasn't anything else to that. The thought of bringing it back to the palace didn't even pass through my head. And, even if it did, I don't think I would have brought it back."

"Does that mean you consider yourself more important than the palace?" Nefasvo didn't lose that opportunity.

"In my head, nothing is more important than the Saramina Sea Demon Palace... other than Tana, of course," Yuan answered with a smile. His words were the 'absolute truth,' after all. Well, the Tana part wasn't a lie, at least.

Tana couldn't help but feel embarrassed a little. That didn't look like her timid Yuan from before at all. "What are you talking about, you rascal!"

Yuan turned to her. "But I can't lie, Tana. If I say a single word that isn't true, I will suffer the consequences of the Soul Binding Contract."

Rean snorted while speaking through Spiritual Sense with Yuan. 'You are getting used to this trick regarding the Soul Binding pretty well, aren't you?'

Yuan wasn't the least bit ashamed. 'You are the last person I want to hear that from.' ƒгeewёbnovel.com

'Fair enough! Hahaha!' Rean also didn't mind it.

Yuan quickly returned his attention back to Drefin, Tana's Father. "Palace Master, you know how important Tana is for me. You even heard the story from back in the Spiritual Canyon from Garfield under the Soul Binding Contract. So, I can proclaim with my heart my next words. When I absorbed the Bloodline, I only had Tana in mind. I had to become strong for her. I had to make sure she can live whatever life she wants. I owe way too much for all she did for me. So, I will become the pillar to make that come true. You can do whatever you want to me, as long as you let Tana free to do as she pleases for the rest of her life."

Everyone looked at Yuan with surprised expressions. The best part is that nothing was a lie in this last part, so with or without the contract, Yuan wouldn't have changed a single word.
