Mushroom Man

The difference between "Dragon Man Mushroom" and "Dragon Man" is only one character, yet it caused great harm to the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King has lived in regret all these years.

Xie Boya entrusted his daughter to him, but instead of bringing her happiness, he caused her to contract this strange disease.

If it weren't for the few Dragon Blood Mushrooms left to him by Emperor Shitian, Ao Miaoyin probably wouldn't have survived to this point.

Even now, looking back, the Silver Dragon King still cannot forgive himself.

He didn't resent Indra, who had deceived him; he only hated himself for being too trusting, which had led to the current situation.

Right now, he must atone for his sins!
Therefore, no matter what, he had to save Miaoyin's life!

only……

To save Miaoyin's life, the lives of the other dragons must be taken.

How could the Silver Dragon King, who deeply loved the dragon people and had guarded the Dragon Palace for half his life, bring himself to do such a thing?

Those dragon people were all his descendants; even if their bones were broken, their tendons would still be connected, and they were all related by blood to some extent.

Making him refine mushrooms using dragon-human beings is truly too cruel...

The Silver Dragon King remained silent, a look of struggle and pain flashing in his eyes.

As the instigator of it all, Wu Liang watched coldly from the sidelines, secretly sneering to himself.

He had long since figured out the Silver Dragon King's personality completely.

In Wu Liang's view, the Silver Dragon King knew that the Dragon Blood Mushroom could only be refined by dragon people.

To save his daughter, no matter how much pain or resistance he felt, he would only make one choice!

That is……

"Alright, I... will find a way to get you some dragonmen to use for mushroom refining."

After a long silence, the Silver Dragon King seemed to have made up his mind and spoke in a hoarse voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lost all his spirit, as if he had aged decades, exuding an aura of decay and decay from the inside out.

Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoyin, who had been listening to the entire conversation, trembled violently.

She couldn't believe that her father, who had taught her to be kind and to love the dragon people, would make such an absurd and terrible decision.

Is this... still her father?

Father and Young Master Wu, are you really going to choose to take the lives of other innocent dragon people for her sake?
Ao Miaoyin was completely bewildered.

For a long time, she regarded her father as a role model on her life's journey.

Even after she learned that she was not her father's biological daughter, this idea never wavered.

However, the image of her father that had been deeply ingrained in her mind for many years suddenly collapsed at this moment.

For a moment, Ao Miaoyin was on the verge of collapse.

She simply couldn't accept that the people she loved most and the people she liked would go astray for her sake and use innocent dragon people to refine mushrooms.

However, it is a pity that...

No matter how desperate or devastated Ao Miaoyin was, she could not stop the Silver Dragon King and Wu Liang.

Wu Liang gritted his teeth and spoke in a bitter voice.

"Senior Silver Dragon King...it's all my fault..."

"If I can achieve even greater success in the Dao of Refining and the Dao of Blood, I might be able to optimize the mushroom recipe and find other mushroom materials that can replace the Dragon People."

"In this way, Senior Silver Dragon King will not be forced to make such a painful decision that causes him great inner torment."

"But... I can't do it."

Wu Liang hung his head in dejection, seemingly feeling genuinely defeated and deeply ashamed.

Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King sighed and then shook his head.

"Good child, I don't blame you." "You have done your best for Miaoyin, and I have seen it all."

“Now that you have done everything you could, it is my turn as your father to do something for you.”

“I know you are a kind-hearted child, and you don’t need to feel guilty about it.”

"I will be the executioner; you only need to refine the Dragon Blood Mushrooms for me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang clenched his fist.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

After a long while, he finally spoke with a glimmer of hope.

"Senior Silver Dragon King, is there really no way to have the best of both worlds?"

"I've been in the Dragon Palace for so long, I've grown to love everything about it and consider myself a part of it."

"Although I am a human mushroom master, I do not want to see innocent dragon people become mushroom material in our hands."

“Those dragon people are innocent; they also have parents and children.”

"If we were to easily take the lives of these innocent dragon people, I'm sure Miss Miaoyin would not forgive us when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King's expression became complicated.

He truly hadn't expected that this young man, a human mushroom master, would care more about the lives of dragons than he did.

Compared to it, the Silver Dragon King truly felt ashamed of himself.

This child is indeed someone you can entrust your life to.

If I entrust my daughter to this child's care, she certainly won't be harmed.

In this way, without any last lingering attachments, he can peacefully atone for his sins with his death.

The Silver Dragon King silently made a decision in his heart.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Young friend Wu, I have already considered what you have said."

"The time left for you and me is no longer enough to hope for a perfect solution."

"Now that the Palace Master is about to return to the palace, we must save Miaoyin before she comes back."

"This matter cannot be explained to you in just a few words."

"All you need to know is that once the Palace Master finds out about you, me, and Miaoyin, not only will I die, but Miaoyin will die, and you will die too..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang was struck dumb, as if he had never imagined such a thing could happen.

"This..." He opened his mouth, his eyes full of questions, clearly wanting to ask something.

However, the Silver Dragon King waved his hand and interrupted him.

"I will give you an explanation about this matter in due time."

"The most urgent task at present is to refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom as soon as possible to wake Miaoyin up."

"Then I will send you and Miaoyin out of the Dragon Palace and fly away together."

"I hope that my young friend Wu, no, my worthy son-in-law Wu, will agree to my request..."

"You must take good care of Miaoyin, don't let her down, live well with her, and never return to the Dragon Palace."

"I wonder if my son-in-law Wu is willing to accept my entrustment?"

After speaking, the Silver Dragon King's gaze fell heavily on Wu Liang, as if afraid that Wu Liang would refuse his entrustment.

His words contained such a wealth of information that they startled not only Ao Miaoyin but also Wu Liang.

what's the situation?
The Silver Dragon King wants to send him and Ao Miaoyin out of the Dragon Palace together.

This...isn't this right?
Wu Liangqing couldn't help but frown slightly, his thoughts in turmoil.

Clearly, things were developing in a completely unexpected direction... (End of Chapter)
