Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

299 Father And Mother

It was like obtaining a free, magical ticket to take her home whenever she wanted. If that ability was used properly, it could turn out to be very useful.

Su Wan happily picked up the crystal ball and rubbed it clean. She projected her mind forward, and it entered the crystal.

There was a sleeping divine soul in the crystal. The power it emitted was overwhelming.

Su Wan wondered what would happen when the divine soul woke up. She was really looking forward to it.

She looked at the hollow core she had obtained from the lake. The treasure looked unremarkable at a glance, but the energy fluctuation surrounding it was shocking. It was clear that this wasn’t an ordinary item.

[Broken Lake]

[Characteristic: Can summon a lake that will never dry up and will float in the sky.]

[Note: A treasure with magical power.]

Su Wan was in disbelief. This could be useful.

Su Wan imagined her territory floating in the air where no one could reach it to attack. It would be something extraordinary to build a villa on a lake in the sky!

Su Wan put away the two treasures. She was in a good mood. She was satisfied with what she had gained from this encounter.

She obtained many priceless treasures this time, especially the centaur. Su Wan had experienced her combat skills first-hand. She was invaluable.

Su Wan searched the area to see if she had missed something. However, she didn’t find anything else. She didn’t continue to search for treasures. What she had gained was already good enough. She wanted to subdue the centaur for now.

The weak centaur raised her head. “Father!” she said weakly as she looked at Xu Yuan.

Su Wan was speechless. Why was she calling Xu Yuan her “father”?

Even Xu Yuan was dumbfounded. He was a dragon. ‘From what angle do I look like her father?’

“Stop shouting,” said Su Wan. She was annoyed.

Eliza was deep in thought. ‘Why didn’t I call him father when he first summoned me? Tsk… I missed my chance!’

Su Wan approached the centaur. “Do you remember your name?”

“Ferula! My name is Ferula,” said the centaur. “Did Father forget my name?” Her eyes welled up. She looked absolutely heartbroken.

Su Wan looked at the aggrieved centaur. She wondered whether Xu Yuan had committed the heinous crime of abandoning this creature, after all. ‘Did Xu Yuan have a relationship with a centaur in the past?’

“Ferula, do you remember anything else?” Su Wan’s voice was gentle.

Something was definitely wrong with the centaur. Ferula looked puzzled. “No… I can’t remember…”

Su Wan frowned. Had the collapse of the lake damaged her memory and her soul?

She sighed. Su Wan didn’t have the heart to leave such a pitiful centaur behind. “Ferula, it seems like your job here is done. Would you like to come with us?”

The tearful centaur raised her head. Her wet hair covered part of her face. Her eyes lit up. “Yes, Mother!”

‘Bah! It’s alright to call Xu Yuan father, but do I look old enough to be her mother?!’ Su Wan was stunned.

However, Su Wan couldn’t really do anything since the centaur’s mental state was already fragile. She reached out to pat the centaur on her head.

“Come then,” she said gently. “We’ll go home now.”

To be able to recruit a centaur was in itself a great feat. ‘Perhaps it isn’t that bad to be called a mother,’ thought Su Wan.

Su Wan glanced at the attribute panel of the centaur. Ferula was still severely injured.

She took out some Dragon Drool Grass that she kept with her at all times and extended it to Ferula. The centaur’s nose twitched. She slowly opened her mouth and ate the grass.

Su Wan watched her.

“Mother, this is the first time you have given me a gift,” said the centaur happily.

The centaur swallowed the chewed grass. She felt as though her taste buds were exploding. Her eyes became clearer.

Su Wan looked at Ferula. She looked so happy. Maybe it wasn’t bad raising a daughter like her.

Ferula’s aura stabilized. She slowly stood up. Her aura was still a little weak, but she wasn’t going to collapse like before.

Her condition greatly improved. The young centaur rubbed her head against Su Wan’s shoulder. Ferula trusted Su Wan.

Su Wan didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know how long Ferula would remain in this state. If she regained her memories, she might just kill Su Wan on the spot.

Su Wan ordered the troops to return to the territory. Ferula was especially eager. She was talkative all through the journey.

“Father, why is the sky blue?”

“Mother, look! There’s a fish! Can we catch some fish?”

Su Wan felt calm and relaxed when listening to Ferula’s endless chatter.

Xu Yuan, on the other hand, was getting a headache from all the noise. He couldn’t begin to think how he had ended up with a daughter from the recent expedition. However, despite his complaints, his lips curled into a gentle smile as he watched Ferula jump around in carefree abandon.

In the end, even he was affected by the childlike centaur as though she was really his daughter.

Twenty minutes later, the sand platform flew away from the wide lake and returned to its original place.

Su Wan turned around to look. The place of broken laws was now one huge lake. Without flowing water to fuel it, perhaps it would slowly dry up.
