Evil Emperor's Wild Consort

"What is it?"

Gu Ruoyun fell momentarily silent before she asked.

The Dragon Clan ancestor’s voice slowly grew serious. "In the future, if the Dragon Clan encounters any danger, I hope that you can extend your hand and help them one time! I can’t protect them anymore and I had hoped to find someone who can help them! The reason why I built these tests was to prevent humans with greedy hearts from entering this place. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I would end up putting the Dragon Clan into disastrous danger."

"If the Dragon Clan don’t provoke me, I’ll help you."

Gu Ruoyun slowly replied.

"However, if they hurt me first, forget about helping them, I will personally destroy them!"

The Dragon Clan ancestor was silent. After a long pause, he replied, "Little girl, I admire your moral traits. You are not like those humans who cheat and swindle. If you were to simply deceive me, you could receive the inheritance very quickly. However, you told me your true feelings in the end! I’ll still give the inheritance to you. If the Dragon Clan truly does provoke you, it just proves that the Dragon Clan was useless now. Even if you weren’t here, they could have crossed many others."

"However." The Dragon Clan ancestor paused. "I still believe in my clan members! The members of the Dragon Clan are very proud and powerful. They would never provoke a human unless the human had provoked them first. You can rest assured with that knowledge."

Gu Ruoyun nodded before she turned towards the spiritual beasts next to her and said, "Go ahead and obtain this inheritance."

"Yes, Master."

The spiritual beasts answered in unison and walked towards the altar.

Zixie, however, had remained by Gu Ruoyun’s side and did not make any move towards the altar.

"Zixie, don’t you need it?" Gu Ruoyun stared at Zixie in astonishment as she asked.

Zixie shook his head. "If I were to obtain the inheritance, that means that this won’t be my own power. I should slowly absorb my source of energy and leave this inheritance to them. I don’t need it."

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and turned her gaze towards the Vermillion Bird and the others. She then raised her brow, "They will need some time to accept the inheritance. Let’s wait here. Once that’s done, we can leave this place."

Gu Ruoyun then slowly turned around. However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed that the black-robed man who had followed her into the inheritance chamber had disappeared.

She was shocked and her eyes filled with disappointment.

He had left, just like that?

Did he leave because I’m not in danger anymore so there’s no need for him to stay?

Furthermore, he had left without even saying a word?

Gu Ruoyun sighed as a sense of exasperation appeared on her delicate and pretty features. "I am pretty sure that he was my big brother but I don’t know why he won’t acknowledge me."

Zixie fell silent for a moment before he slowly replied, "Perhaps he has his own reasons. You only need to believe that he won’t hurt you, that’s all."

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun laughed bitterly and did not pursue the topic any further.

"The spiritual energy in these ruins is pretty good. I’m going to cultivate for a while as we wait for them to accept the inheritance."

After saying that, Gu Ruoyun slowly sat down and crossed her legs as a faint spiritual energy hovered around her body.

...

In the ruins, it was difficult to differentiate day and night so Gu Ruoyun did not know how long she had been cultivating either. As she was cultivating, her spiritual beasts completed their acceptance process of the inheritance one-by-one! They received great changes in their power level as well!
