Chapter 1421 “I Rather Die (4)”
“Step aside everyone, this dragon girl may be hurt right now but her strength is still formidable. I will kill her myself and retrieve the beast core.”
Without exception, the rest gladly took a step back to allow the old timer to do the deed. They’ve done enough as it was and wouldn’t hurt to have someone else do some laboring in this case.
However, Dragony wasn’t the type to go down without a fight. Suddenly showing a stubborn smile along her lovely face, the girl’s behavior left the other side wondering on why she’s able to laugh in this situation.
“Are you from the Celestial Palace?” she asks.Senior Yue chuckled: “Yes, my shifu is the lead alchemist in the Celestial Palace.”
“Is that so?” Smiling even deeper at the confirmation, Dragony did not show any sort of anger from earlier, “if you are then that makes you Mother’s enemy. So… I won’t let you have your way.”
“You…” Feeling an ominous sensation creeping up his back, Senior Yue instinctively pointed his finger out.
Sure enough, the girl’s complexion quickly took on a paler tone as traces of blood flowed out of her lips. This deathly appearance could only mean one thing and its damning.
“You self-destructed your own core?!” The old shameless bastard exclaims, his eyes burning with rage and disbelief, “No!!! How can you do this, stop right this instant!”
The Ice Fruit takes a millennium to mature. After all these years, this is the only one I found!
What is my granddaughter supposed to do if she destroys her own core?Damn this dragon girl!
AHHHHH!!!!!
She’s dead anyways, why can’t she just help save someone else instead of destroying my last hope!
Pity for the old timer, he’s a step too late at this point in doing anything. Once Dragony fell backwards and spewed up a mouthful of blood, the act was done. He’s stunned with his hand reaching out, those eyes dull and lifeless until they evolved into a look of pure rage.
“You… You actually did it! Why can’t you just save someone if you’re going to die anyways! You selfish and damnable being! Even if you die you will go to hell for this, never to be reborn again!” Painfully cusping his own head, the old bastard behaved like the world’s collapsing before his very eyes.
How can this world have such a selfish person? First it was stealing my Ice Fruit, then it’s destroying their own core so I can’t take it. Why are all demons such ruthless and damnable creatures! They all deserve to die!
Dragony naturally noticed the bastard’s expression and smiled in response. It’s not mocking, nor ridiculing, but a very innocent and resolved one that left her eyes a blurry mess due to the tears coming out.
But that was until the corner of her view noticed a panic-stricken face coming from afar ….
“Mother…”
I’m sorry, I couldn’t get stronger, I couldn’t protect you…
If there is an after-life, I want to be your biological daughter, that way I can grow up by your side from childhood.
But now, I can’t accompany you anymore….
Gradually closing her eyes as the heaviness took her, Dragony’s breathing began to weaken and the life fading from the skin. Her appearance has grown incredibly transparent under the sun’s light, making the girl look like she’s about to disappear at any time.
