Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 130 - Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Hatchling

The egg within his hand was beautiful, but it was not the appearance that attracted Li Moyun’s attention.

He felt a strange connection with the egg as if something was calling for him, and his brows furrowed in confusion.

Just as he was about to lift his head and ask Bai Rouyun where this egg had come from, a cracking sound reverberated in the room, and the egg began hatching.

Both Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were taken aback by what they saw, and their eyes landed on the shell, which was now full of cracks.

A small claw was seen trying to press its way through the cracks, and soon a gap could be seen on the shell.

Inside the shell was a pair of amber eyes, looking out from within security of the shell.

When Bai Rouyun saw the eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine, but moments after, a shriek resounded from within the shell, and as if the creature within was in a hurry, she saw a small golden dragon struggle to get free from the confinement of the eggshell.

As it came out, it unsteadily moved towards Li Moyun. Although it resembled a reptile more than a dragon, Bai Rouyun did not doubt in her heart that this golden creature was a dragon. And it was not just any dragon; it was a five-clawed golden dragon!

This dragon was the absolute symbol of power and nobility. It was a sign of the emperor, and it had a strange connection to Li Moyun, making Bai Rouyun take an extra look at her husband. He was truly noble, his aura domineering and overpowering, his bearing noble and full of pride.

Li Moyun was completely surprised when he saw the baby dragon. It was a five-clawed golden dragon, not just any ordinary beast. Knowing that it had appeared in this house, he also knew that the egg belonged to Bai Rouyun, but now the baby dragon seemed to be much more attached to him.

Glancing at Bai Rouyun, Li Moyun felt somewhat sheepish. He had really benefited tremendously from her. She had helped him greatly with all the archaic pill recipes, and now her pet had taken a liking to him.

He was not sure how he was supposed to deal with such a situation, but just as he reached out his hand to shoo the beast away, he felt a pang of pain.

The dragon had stretched out its neck and bitten down on Li Moyun’s finger. Blood trickled out, and right after, the dragon scratched itself, so that their blood mixed together.

Strange, golden runes appeared in the air, swirling around the dragon and Li Moyun. An outstanding energy ripple erupted from these runes, but it did not spread out. Instead, it flooded into Li Moyun’s mind through his forehead.

Li Moyun frowned, and sweat began beading on his forehead. It was clear that the energy that had poured into his mind was extremely painful, but he did not release even the slightest sound that showed how excruciating the pain was.

Bai Rouyun’s brows furrowed, and she looked worriedly at Li Moyun.

The small dragon hatching had collapsed in his arms, utterly oblivious to the pain that the energy was causing Li Moyun. Bai Rouyun was aware of it, but she dared not touch him out of fear of worsening his pain.

All she could do was sit still and wait for him to overcome the trials on his own. Time went by slowly; each second felt like an hour, and an hour like an eternity.

Li Moyun did not move for the entire morning, and it was not before noon that he finally seemed to return to his senses.

His fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes. His face was pale, and there was a mist within his eyes as if he could not focus his sight on anything. He looked dazed.

Seeing that he was regaining consciousness, Bai Rouyun hurried to his side. She took out a bowl of water from the Primal Chaos Dimension, and found a cloth, after which she began wiping his forehead.

The revitalizing energy from the water began entering his body, and the exhaustion and soreness slowly faded away.

The energy that had been forcefully injected into his mind was the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon tribe’s heritage. While Li Moyun was no dragon, he had unwillingly signed a contract with the dragon hatchling.

This gave him a dragon breath, and he was capable of using some of the martial art techniques that were specific to the tribe.

Li Moyun felt guilty. He knew that since the small dragon hatchling had signed a soul contract with him, it was impossible to break it. The dragon would be his life companion from now on; however, it came from Bai Rouyun’s egg.

He looked at Bai Rouyun’s eyes, but he did not see any reproach, disappointment, or anger. Instead, he saw worry.

"How are you feeling?" She asked as she looked at Li Moyun, and her worries made him feel soft inside. She was not blaming him, but she worried about him instead.

"I’m sorry," he said. His voice was hoarse and rough after experiencing the excruciating pain of having an inheritance forcefully added to his mind.

"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" Bai Rouyun was puzzled as she looked at him, but Li Moyun pointed at the small dragon hatchling that was sleeping on his lap.

"This little guy has signed a contract with me," he said with a sigh. "I cannot break it, but I will try to make it up to you somehow."

Bai Rouyun smiled sweetly when she heard it and shook her head. "It is merely a dragon," she said to comfort him. "And it does not matter if it picks you or me; we will be together in the future anyway."
