Chapter 49: Trade or Not
"do not worry."

Looking at Xia Mi, whose body tensed up instantly, Qi Xiuyuan's tone remained relaxed: "I won't tell you what I am, but I can tell you that I am not your enemy, nor are I your brothers and sisters."

Xia Mi narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "If you say it's not, then it's not?"

As the weakest of her brothers and sisters, the Dragon King, her usual style is to "bide a low profile" and "be cautious", for fear of exposing her identity and being targeted.

Now, her identity was suddenly revealed. If Qi Xiuyuan hadn't said this, she would have turned around and ran away.

"You should be able to feel that the dragon bloodline in me is not very strong, but it can exempt you from the ability to erase your memory, so I am trying to test it."

Qi Xiuyuan was not surprised, knowing the cautiousness of this eccentric little dragon girl. He knew that wind attribute talent alone was not enough, so he simply closed his eyes and said calmly, "Since that's the case, I'll let you see it with your own eyes."

As he spoke, his eyes slowly opened, and what appeared in Xia Mi's golden pupils were a pair of strange scarlet eyes.

There was a strong blood-red light flashing in his eyes, and those scarlet eyes seemed to be able to ooze blood.

Those were a pair of eyes that Xia Mi had never seen before. She could feel a cold spiritual element, as if those eyes were "alive".

There seemed to be an even more powerful power in his eyes, and even Xia Mi felt a slight chill in her heart.

"..."

Looking at that pair of completely unfamiliar eyes, Xia Mi couldn't help but feel her heart tighten. "Who on earth are you? You don't have dragon bloodline, but you can control the elements..."

As she spoke, Xia Mi looked at Qi Xiuyuan's left hand which he had just raised, and she still remembered seeing him make a gesture.

Is it possible to use gestures instead of chanting?
Although as descendants of the dragon clan, all their power is in the form of words. In addition to those dragon words that are like hymns, words in various languages such as Chinese, German, English, and Hebrew also exist.

However, this method of controlling elements through gestures was something she had never heard of in the past ten thousand years.

Even the Path to Deification, which has been tabooed by the Elders Council and aims to turn a hybrid into a pure-blooded dragon, is simply impossible to achieve such an absurd thing.

The birth of the Black King Nidhogg is unknown. Legend has it that the Black King was conceived directly from the earth, but even the Dragon Kings are not sure.

In common biology, all species in the world evolved from the same origin, just like a big tree with countless branches. The dragon clan calls it the "Tree of Evolution" or "World Tree".

The "World Tree" has three main branches, called the three "domains", namely the bacterial domain, the archaeal domain and the eukaryotic domain. Any known species belongs to one of these three domains.

Dragons are an exception. They are outside these three domains and belong to the fourth domain of the evolutionary tree.

Now, a completely different existence appears.

As the one who had explored the powers of the other dragon kings the most, Jörmungandr was more aware of how horrific what the guy in front of her was doing.

In other words, this kind of thing shouldn't exist at all. In this world where the Black King is the source of power, his existence is simply the biggest paradox!

unless……

"Are you a being born before us?"

Xia Mi finally couldn't help but ask, but her voice was a little hoarse.

I thought he was an interesting hybrid who had awakened some unknown word spirit, so I lifted my memory clear on him, but...

You shouldn't be so reckless.

"You can think of me as an alien, different from human hybrids and different from your dragon race." The scarlet in Qi Xiuyuan's eyes dissipated, turning back into deep black pupils. He smiled and said, "So I said..."

"We will not become enemies. I am not interested in your purpose. Not only will I not stop you, I will also establish a cooperative relationship with you."

Xia Mi was a little unsure of the person in front of her, and her inherent caution emerged again, but she didn't dare to make any further moves and could only say stubbornly: "Deal? What deal?"

"Before that, I need to ask you two questions." Qi Xiuyuan looked down at the eyes that had turned back to black and smiled, "What is Fenrir in your eyes?"

Xia Mi was a little unhappy with his attitude, but still said in a cold tone: "Brother, if necessary, you can eat it as food." "Very honest." Qi Xiuyuan clapped his hands, "So, what does Chu Zihang mean to you?"

Xia Mi's eyes suddenly froze, and her thoughts were vaguely fragmented. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Toys..."

"laugh."

Hearing Qi Xiuyuan's sneer, Xia Mi suddenly became a little annoyed. She glared at Qi Xiuyuan, unlike the Dragon King, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm joking?"

That guy is at most a doll that has been with you since childhood. It has no value, but you will feel a little sad if you lose it.

As if remembering something, Xia Mi narrowed her eyes and suddenly laughed: "Isn't Su Xiaoqiang the same in your eyes? Don't tell me you really have romantic feelings for her."

"For beings like you and me, a human life is but a brief moment. Bloodline is an unbridgeable gap, just like how humans can never develop love for ants, right?"

She was clearly questioning, but her tone was so dead, like spoiled food and soup, stagnant water that no longer flowed, and seemed to be filled with self-mockery and confusion that she herself was not even aware of.

"Ants? Bloodline? Chasm?"

Qi Xiuyuan suddenly smiled, leaning forward slightly, looking at the stunned Xia Mi, the smile on his face gradually fading: "Is this what the dragon race calls the blood sorrow?"

"You guys are all the same. Your hypocrisy makes me want to vomit..."

He walked down the stone eaves of the rooftop and gradually approached Xia Mi's side. His voice in her ear seemed like ice: "Any living thing, any fate, no matter how long and complicated, lives for a single moment."

"At that moment, someone treats you well, someone says something to you, someone does something, just that one moment, is enough to make you unforgettable for the rest of your life, even if thousands of years pass by."

"Moreover, what separates the ants from the divine is not your so-called bloodline, but the power in my hands."

Every word he said seemed to be spitting out ice and stone in Xia Mi's ears. He said coldly, "I don't care about the bloodline you mentioned. Even if it's a toy, it's still my toy."

"If anyone tries to touch me, I'll make them understand who I am. No one can take what I want. If anyone dares to touch me, I'll break their hand."

Qi Xiuyuan turned his head slightly and looked at Xia Mi beside him with a cold gaze. "Jörmungandr, you didn't want to plant flowers. You said you didn't want to watch them wither away bit by bit. To avoid the end, you avoided the beginning."

“Sometimes, the calmness, rationality, rigor, and ingenuity that you pride yourself on may not be what you call clarity, but simply silent cowardice.”

Under his gaze, Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, and just avoided his sight.

"..."

She pressed her lips into a line, lowered her head and muttered softly, "Why are you being so serious? She didn't say anything excessive. If you think this way, I'm happy for Sister Xiao Qiang, too."

Looking at the little dragon girl who was once again using schizophrenia to escape, Qi Xiuyuan said nothing but withdrew his gaze and said, "I will teach you the 'Gift of Blood' and later give you a first-generation dragon bone cross."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Mi's face changed instantly, but she quickly calmed down.

"What's the price?"

She did not doubt Qi Xiuyuan's words at all, even though Qi Xiuyuan downplayed the first generation of dragon bone cross, she did not doubt whether he could really do it.

Because Qi Xiuyuan mentioned the "gift of blood", the ability to change the bloodline of others, looking back at all the history, there are only three people who possess and are able to have this "ability".

"The price is to form an alliance with me, provide me with dragon blood for experiments, and test the feasibility of the 'Gift of Blood' to see if Su Xiaoqiang can possess some of your powers."

Qi Xiuyuan said calmly, "Give me the answer, deal or not?"

After you joined Danzo's Root, your presence was noticed by Orochimaru again. He took the initiative to find you and proposed that you become a double agent to steal Konoha's intelligence for him. What did you choose...?

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the light screen that appeared in front of him, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Sure enough, it works.
