Andres sighed and replied, “Yeah, it is. Truth is, I am only forty years old.”
He had lost two drops of Soul Blood, and that caused him to age forty years in a matter of days.
If Andres used another drop of Soul Blood, he would definitely die.
Zeke asked, “So I guess you were planning on sacrificing your life for the Progenitor, huh?”
Andres remained quiet. His silence was basically admitting to it.
Zeke replied, “Ah, fine. I'll help you cure the Progenitor.”
Andres grinned bitterly and pointed out, “Mr. Williams, only the Soul Blood of a member of the White Muraco Clan
can save the Progenitor. You are not a clan member, so I'm guessing you've never cultivated it before.
“Even if you have, it wouldn't help. The Progenitor will only react to the clan leader's Soul Blood.”
Zeke refuted, “There will always be a way around everything.”
He retrieved the jade pendant from Andres and placed it on the Progenitor.
The elder of the White Muraco Clan had kept the jade pendant with him for almost a hundred years. Hence, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjade pendant contained the elder's powerful aura.
Years ago, the elder of the White Muraco Clan used his own mental energy to help the Progenitor grow. That meant
the elder's aura would be the best cure for the Progenitor.
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to use the aura trapped in that pendant. Andres definitely didn't have the
skills to do so.
Zeke, however, pushed his energy into the jade pendant and overflowed it until the elder's aura, which was trapped
within, seeped out of it. Slowly but surely, the aura fell into the Progenitor.
It healed the wounded Progenitor at an incredible rate.
The Progenitor was recovering so quickly that even the naked eye could see the change happening.
Its body glowed brighter, and its holy aura went from dwindling to brimming. It didn't take long before the worm
opened its beady eyes as well.
Andres was so shocked that he dropped his jaw upon seeing it.
He cured it. Mr. Williams actually cured the Progenitor, and he made it look so easy.
Holy moly! The Progenitor also looks much healthier and livelier than it used to be.
This is so amazing. It's a miracle.
How did Mr. Williams do it? Where did he learn to do that?
Now that I think about it, the guy is young, but our elder regarded him as a close friend. I should've known that
means he is not an ordinary man.
Just then, Zeke retracted his hands quickly and cussed aloud. “Hey!”
Andres's heart jumped, and he quickly asked, “What's wrong, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke slapped the Progenitor. Naturally, he did so lightly because the worm would've died if he had slapped for real.
“I saved that f*cking idiot's life, and it bit me in return! How ungrateful!”
Huh?
When Andres heard what had happened, he became even more astonished. He knelt down right away.
“I, the current clan leader of the White Muraco Clan, shall greet you, Elder. May you live a long and fruitful life.”
Zeke waved his hand dismissively and said, “You don't actually need to call me Elder. I may be friends with the elder
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof your clan, but we're not the same person.”
“No, you don't understand,” replied Andres hurriedly. He explained, “Mr. Williams, as of now, you are an elder of the
White Muraco Clan, and we will serve you for all eternity.”
Zeke asked, “Huh? What do you mean?”
Andres immediately said, “The Progenitor bit you earlier, but it wasn't being hostile. It was actually marking you as
its master.
“Hence, you are its master now, and our clan's rule dictates that the worm's master will be regarded as our elder.
“That, in turn, means you are now our elder.”
Zeke was exasperated after hearing what Andres said. “That rule is so ridiculous. What if the Progenitor bit a
random three-year-old? Are you guys going to regard that kid as your elder, too?”
Andres replied, “You are unaware of this, Elder, but the Progenitor is naturally proud and holy. It won't take just
anybody as its master.
“That is why it hadn't chosen a master, even though our last elder had passed some time ago. All previous clan
leaders, including myself, failed to impress it or get it to bite us.
“It had been decades since it last took anyone as its master, and you are the one it has chosen!”
