Grand Ancestral Bloodlines - Chapter 2244 - 2244: Oddity
“You are having a son?” Ailsa asked softly.
“I am,” Ryu smiled, looking down at his wife. “Do you want to have a baby too?”
“… I wanted to have your first born.”
Ryu bent down and kissed her forehead. Inwardly, he was quite happy. If Ailsa was still holding onto her former arrogance, she would have never said this. Even if he could feel it from her thoughts, she would prefer to reveal it like that than speak it herself.
“Maybe this is a little punishment for being so disobedient.”
Ailsa pouted. “You said I don’t have to say sorry.”
Ryu laughed, kissing her lips this time. This was the Ailsa he remembered, this was his Life Partner. He much preferred her to be like this.
“You can still have my first daughter if you are fast enough.”
“Fast enough?!” Ailsa scoffed. “I am a Cultus Faerie, in case you’ve forgotten. How can they outrace me?”
Ryu grinned and then told Ailsa everything about Hope and the pill she created.
“Pa. I don’t need such a thing. I can do it on my own. Hurry up, take your clothes off.”
Ryu was speechless. “I am not bedding my wife here. Do you have any idea—?”
Ailsa shattered Ryu’s robes with a palm.
“Hey, hey. Let me at least—.”
Ailsa waved a hand and an aura more solid than a world’s boundaries took shape. Then, one army of elite Dao Gods after another filled the skies.
Each one was a woman at least in spirit, and their backs were turned to them… at least it should have been. But Ryu could only speechlessly watch as several of these Summons peeked over their shoulders to check him out.
Why did he feel like a bull on the chopping block?
At some unknown point, Ailsa’s clothes had vanished and he barely had the chance to take it in before all his blood rushed out of his brain.
At that point, nothing was under his control anymore. Well, the sex itself was. As for the fact he was doing it or the fact he had many important things to consider right now, that was left to a mind he had long forgotten.
It seemed that maybe he would be having two babies… knowing Ailsa and her power, she just might have a method of accelerating the process enough to come out on top.
At that point, Ryu could only accept it.
There was a part of his mind shaking itself about as it tried to figure out something extraordinarily important.
He had given his son a Realm Heart. Now he would need to give this new child something of at least equivalent value or else his wife might kill him.
‘Dammit.’

“Don’t run, Veridia. I know what you’ve done.”
A Fire Dragon with scales so dark they almost looked more black than crimson scaled across the skies. As he moved, the land crashed beneath him, not just due to the strength of his wings and their powerful flaps, but the Crystal Dragon being dragged across the land with him.
“To touch upon the Taboos… you have quite some nerve.”
The growl filled the skies like fiery ire falling from the heavens. Runes spontaneously formed in a cascade of combustion, a rain falling down and pelting against the earth.
Many generations from now, this land would still be one of soot and ash.
Veridia, Selheira’s mother, raced across the earth. One of her wings had long been ripped off and she could only race forward on all fours as though she was some kind of dog.
The humiliation in her heart made the Fire Dragon in her want to snap and roar. But it was the wife in her that held it back.
That Crystal Dragon was none other than her husband, a man who had always been the gentle water to her unbridled chaos. And yet, it was her fault for getting him into such a situation.
Selheira’s father wasn’t nearly so weak. In fact, he should have been equal to Pyrothos. Some even believed that Pyrothos’ Title of Undefeated wouldn’t be nearly so certain if Selheira’s father wasn’t so passive.
Unfortunately, the Crystal Dragons, after descending to the Eighth Plane, had chosen to remain there and never showed signs of returning until now.
Veridia was simply too tired of it all. She knew that what she had been doing was foolish, but she also knew that all Pyrothos did was find reasons to target them.
And recently, things had gotten even worse. For some reason, Pyrothos wanted the Crystal Dragon Clan to descend even further, retreating from the Eighth Plane to the Seventh.
None of them could explain exactly why that was, but it was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Veridia.
Who would have known that Pyrothos was waiting for this exact moment?
Not only did he use her to lure her husband in once more, but her husband had also suffered a near lethal blow because of her.
Half of Veridia was absolutely furious with herself, and the other half was a raging Fire Dragon Bloodline deep within her that wanted to expunge Pyrothos from the world.
How could this coward be their representative? How could this despicable Dragon be their leader?
Her scales themselves seemed to spit fire, but she knew that if Pyrothos wasn’t making a show of dragging her husband through mountains and rivers, she would have been caught long ago.
And then it happened.
The world warped and a flash of silver appeared in the skies.
A Spatial Dragon appeared, his wings flaring out wide.
But when Veridia sensed the aura of a mere Sovereign, all of her hope vanished. For some reason, she had hoped to see Ryu, and yet he wasn’t here either.
“Hm?” Lu’card looked toward Pyrothos, his words of challenge dying in his throat. What the hell was happening here?
But then something clicked and he blinked.
Ever since he entered the True Martial World quadrant of space, he had felt that something was… just a little bit off. He couldn’t quite place why that was until this very moment.
