Chapter 694: Chapter 580: A Moment of Glory

Truly... wonderful.

Wei Shiyue’s dragon form is still very attractive. As a beautiful White Dragon, she is adorned with garlands, jade ornaments, and expensive jewels, making her look even more charming and cute. These small accessories prepared for mortals, juxtaposed against her massive body, create an astonishing contrast, blending elegance with nobility, and the Giant Dragon with jade.

In contrast, the hard scales covering her body didn’t seem jarring. She was covered in meticulously arranged white Dragon Scales, unlike any other scale-bearing creatures. The arrangement of the Dragon Scales not only had more symmetry, but also subliminally conveyed a sense of harmonious balance and beauty. All the qualities of a dragon were exemplified in Wei Shiyue.

As Xu Yang thought about how to conduct the ceremony, he began by talking to Wei Shiyue.

"How are you feeling now?"

"A bit of pain, a bit of hesitation," Wei Shiyue’s four claws pressed against the ground.

Xu Yang looked up at Wei Shiyue’s horns, slender and exquisite, like two sharp long swords stretching back, seemingly forged from silver and jade. While Princess Pelagia of the Red Dragon had a pair of huge spiral horns.

Following that, Xu Yang proceeded as planned, using secret techniques to treat Wei Shiyue, alleviating her anxiety and nurturing her spirit.

"Everything feels so different now." Wei Shiyue’s head initially swayed slowly, but then she gradually settled into calmness.

Kirino Reisei had already prepared the incense, ceremonies, and ritual implements in the secret chamber, making it convenient for Xu Yang to arrange all his actions. Wei Shiyue’s body and mind were completely relaxed.

According to the teachings Princess Pelagia had provided on the moon’s surface, Xu Yang knew that Wei Shiyue needed thorough treatment and care to break free from her recent fears and anxieties. He had to help out to avoid placing any stress on her that could damage the nurturing of the Dragon Kind. Dragons were a long-lived race, and correspondingly, giving birth to new offspring was fraught with difficulties.

With Xu Yang’s support, her dragon eggs became more vigorous thanks to this new protection, seeming to await the moment to leave their mother’s body.

Xu Yang assisted with all his might, and soon, Wei Shiyue felt endlessly comfortable. Like a true dragon, she let out a wicked laugh and exhaled warm breath. Wei Shiyue had been "human" for too long, and now it was time for her Dragon Kind nature to shine. She could fully stretch her claws and sway her tail.

For Xu Yang, this was a high-end task. He had treated countless subjects, but a dragon was still a first, a significant test for his medical knowledge.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When the treatment was halfway through, the Lunar Divine Power inside Wei Shiyue began to blossom outward. Her draconian body, from the neck down to her crystalline chest plate to her pale abdomen and tail, shone brightly. Due to the good secret treatment, she felt the egg inside her womb taking shape at an accelerated rate.

After a long while, Xu Yang completed all the ceremonies, thereby finishing the care of a dragon.

"The time has come," Wei Shiyue’s eyes sparkled, "Now all this has value."

...

Kirino Reisei came with a lantern and took Xu Yang out of the secret chamber.

"Where to next?" Xu Yang felt very tired.

"Let’s get you cleaned up." Kirino Reisei led Xu Yang to the hot spring behind the Shrine.

The decor here was simple, only a bamboo shelter for the rain. Kirino Reisei gave him a bath towel to wrap around himself, then knelt beside the hot spring with a large wooden ladle, repeatedly pouring water over Xu Yang’s head to wash away the filth from his body with the scalding hot spring water.

"It’s really quiet here," Xu Yang could only hear the insects of midsummer chirping incessantly in the grass.

"..." Kirino Reisei, barefoot, knelt beside him, body leaning as she continued to splash the hot spring water over him.

Before long, Nanase Kizuna swam over from the other side of the spring. The huge fox moved slowly through the pool, each step stirring up waves of water.

"I never thought of such a thing, never," Nanase Kizuna commented on what she had just heard.

"Just to complete a ritual..." Xu Yang sat beside the spring.

Nanase Kizuna had lived for thousands of years, she herself did not know how many seasons she had experienced. Kirino Reisei was also an old witch over 150 years old. They both had abundant experience and were digesting the impactful truth they just heard with their wealth of life experiences.

"You have helped the Dragon Clan continue its bloodline. New bloodlines and branches have appeared upon the earth," summarized Nanase Kizuna.

"But I feel Wei Shiyue wouldn’t let me near the child," Xu Yang said, puzzled.

"You’re right, Wei Shiyue will definitely consider that egg to be her sole property," Kirino Reisei nodded slowly.

"Because she’s ultimately a dragon... If we try to second-guess a dragon with ordinary thinking... we’d be making a grave mistake," said Nanase Kizuna, who had seen many dragons in her life.

"What are your plans next?" inquired Xu Yang, "The first season of "Siphon!" has finished airing, two volumes of the standalone book are out, and the DVD sales have exceeded 1 million, marketing worldwide."

"We never expected such an effect either. Nor did we foresee things turning out this way. Nestor Corporation became a major company in the Northern Archipelago, while Kyoto Infinity continues to grow under Zina’s leadership. We thought it would either prosper or be completely dissolved. But now... instead, a delicate balance and reconciliation have been reached," Nanase Kizuna climbed out of the hot spring.

"We also have to steadily take over and succeed Kyoto Infinity, ensure a reasonable transition of work and plans, to maintain a smooth operation. Plus, there’s now so much complex business and strenuous work..." Xu Yang mused.

"Immortal Kind always need something to anchor their thoughts on. For me, it’s Kyoto Infinity, and Kirino Reisei, but... everything is gradually moving away. Maybe after all this ends, I’ll leave the Northern Archipelago," Nanase Kizuna said in a deep tone.

Xu Yang knew that ’everything ends’ meant when Kirino Reisei would pass away. That would probably be in about another 20 to 30 years.

"What a pity..." Xu Yang realized they did not wish to extend their lives because their era had ended, never to return.

"This humble one still needs to find a qualified witch to inherit the Witch’s position and carry out proper mystical practices, otherwise all the secret teachings of the shrine will be lost with this humble one’s generation," Kirino Reisei nodded.

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

"That child... Xu Cheng. If she has an interest in the mystic arts, this humble one would quite enjoy teaching," Kirino Reisei said slowly.

Xu Yang still had to consider when, at that moment, they all heard Wei Shiyue’s cry in the distance.

"You should go," Kirino Reisei urged him away, "She’s ready to lay her egg."
